Chapter 165: Rescue the Siege of the Emperor's Palace (5) At this time, Fengdu City was much more lively than before, because at this time, in addition to the walls of the Emperor's Palace, there were rebellious ghosts who were blindly resisting, and it was in vain to resist those who had just obeyed Zhang.

In addition to Qi and the others, inside the walls of the Emperor's Palace, there are also a lot of rebellious ghosts and the dead souls who come from nowhere, destroying everything, trying to occupy the Emperor's Palace, and fighting with the guards and guards of the Emperor's Palace.

together

Different from the human world, in the world of the underworld, it is still an era of cold weapons, or in a narrow sense, it should be the best among cold weapons. After all, what they use is not just cold weapons, but only ghost weapons.

It is just a magic weapon that can be used by poor people, a weapon that can be controlled at will. However, even so, most of the battles between them are close combat and hand-to-hand combat. The competition is strength, movement skills, and reaction speed. Who can

Whoever can dodge in time and persist until the end will be the final winner. Whoever can get rid of the hostile forces in front of him will have the final chance of survival.

Perhaps here, in Zhang Qi's camp, the most powerful messengers are nothing more than the dozens of guards in Liang Ping's hands, and the remaining guards of the Emperor's Palace are actually no different from those ordinary ghosts.

Both

Indeed, everything at this time was just as Liang Ping said to Zhang Qi before. The guards trained by Liang Ping were all carefully selected elite troops. Under the attack of more than a dozen ordinary ghosts, they

They were still able to attack him unprepared at will and take advantage of the opportunity to attack, which was much stronger than Pan Jie's men. However, Pan Jie's men were certainly not vegetarians. At least at this time, the defenses of the three city gates were still under their strict guard.

Among them, of course, it also includes the gate that was opened before and is now closed again, because the reason why it is still closely guarded at this time is actually just because it is worried that other rebels will take the opportunity to attack the Emperor's Palace. After all, in the city of the Emperor's Palace

In addition, there are also a large number of ghosts

As the saying goes, there are special skills, and the guards and the guards of the Emperor's Palace cannot be compared at all. But even so, the situation at this time is very pessimistic for Zhang Qi and the others. Although they are facing

The number of rebel ghosts was much smaller than the ghosts when they attacked the city gate before, but the sudden appearance of the rioting souls caused a huge change in the Emperor's Palace, which was filled with many uncertainties, because at this time, even those who were usually concerned about

The souls of ghosts are very intimidating, and they can't do anything about them. They are helpless, and the only ones who can deal with them seem to be the ghost guards of the Guards.

All the guards in the Emperor's Palace are definitely well-trained. After they encountered these dead souls and tried several times, it was of course impossible for them to continue to take risks, so they all invariably became two parties, one of which

As an ordinary guard of the Emperor's Palace, he specializes in dealing with the ordinary ghosts who rebelled. As for the sudden dead souls, they are all handed over to the guards and the ghost leader Pan Jie.

For a time, the forces of the two parties seemed to be balanced again, but even if Pan Jie and the others took an absolutely wise approach, it could not change the fact that they were stretched thin. For them, victory seemed to be slim once again. Everything was just a matter of hope.

It's just a matter of time

On Zhang Qi's side, in order to preserve the Emperor's Palace, he had already followed the guards back to the Emperor's Palace, helping Pan Jie's team fight against the dead souls who appeared inexplicably in the Emperor's Palace.

"What the hell... what kind of dead souls are these? How can they be filled with so much hostility? Are I playing Resident Evil? Zombies... Japanese..." Zhang Qi used the dagger in his hand to cut off the head of a dead ghost.

, couldn’t help cursing in a low voice

At this time, the reason why Zhang Qi was so angry was not because of anything else, but also because these dead souls were far more difficult to deal with than those ghosts. Not to mention their attack power, even if Zhang Qi wanted to get rid of them, he needed to

It took two or three attacks to get rid of them completely. He was as stubborn as an immortal little strongman.

And standing not far away from Zhang Qi, Pan Jie, who was also dealing with these dead souls, although he couldn't understand the "biohazard" and "zombie" in Zhang Qi's mouth, at least he could still hear Zhang Qi's complaining tone.

After coming out, Pan Jie hurriedly explained to Zhang Qi:

"Priest, these dead souls seem to be wandering outside the Ten Halls of Hell. They were originally very violent ghosts. Later they escaped reincarnation and lived and practiced in a dark and hostile place. Naturally, it is difficult for them to do so.

Deal with..." As he spoke, Pan Jie used a copper hammer to knock a dead soul away, and then said again, "But outside the Ten Hells, there are many obstacles from here. How could they appear here? And they were still helping the rebels.

……It is really……"

Pan Jie said, as if he couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe it, so he had to give up. On Zhang Qi's side, after hearing Pan Jie's words, he couldn't help but wonder, "Beyond the Ten Palaces of Hell? What kind of bird place is it? Since you all know

Why don't they get rid of their existence as soon as possible? If we keep them, don't you know that there will be endless troubles?"

After Zhang Qi said this, he dodged and passed through several dead souls running toward him, then came to Pan Jie and stood guard with him back to back.

"It's not that we don't want to clean up, but they have been around for a long time. It seems that they have existed longer than the time I have been in Fengdu City. We ordinary ghosts cannot get close to them. Only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva heard about this and kept

We transform them in it, hoping to remove the hostility from their bodies. And more importantly, we have always been in peace with each other. In order to prevent them from approaching, there are more than a hundred checkpoints? Who would have thought that they have already arrived?

Fengdu City, I think someone must have secretly brought them here in batches, otherwise, it would be impossible for such a thing to happen." Pan Jie used the double hammers in his hands to smash away a dead soul who attacked again.

Then he said to Zhang Qi

At this time, Zhang Qi heard Pan Jie mention Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in his words. When he heard this name, Zhang Qi couldn't help but was stunned. He didn't even see a soul that sneaked in. But fortunately,

Pan Jie discovered it in time and took action to repel the dead soul. It was not until the copper hammer in Pan Jie's hand passed Zhang Qi's body that the distracted Zhang Qi reacted...

Zhang Qi was distracted just now. This was something that even he had not thought of, because after he heard Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva just now, a feeling that seemed familiar to him suddenly appeared. He seemed to have had some interactions with him.

Even what happened, Zhang Qi couldn't remember at all, and Zhang Qi suspected that his vague memory must be related to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva

But at this time, Zhang Qi would not think about those things so heartlessly. After all, the enemy is facing a powerful enemy, and everything should focus on the overall situation. This sentence was said by Zhang Qi. Of course, Zhang Qi cannot forget it.

Then Zhang Qi thanked Pan Jie who had just saved her, and said again, "How is Judge Cui? Is the main hall safe? Have you sent someone to guard it?"

Hearing Zhang Qi's words, Pan Jie nodded hurriedly and said, "Go back to the priest, respect the priest's order. Judge Cui is under the personal protection of Liang Ping. I just went to check and everything is fine. In addition, I have already secured the front and rear of the main hall."

All exits are protected by personnel, because the main hall, like the city wall of the Emperor's Palace, has protective barriers. As long as you keep an eye on the front and rear gates, there will be no danger, so at this time there should be no..."

Before Pan Jie finished speaking, he looked towards the main hall of the Emperor's Palace in the distance to check whether it was still within his control. But just as Pan Jie's eyes moved to the direction of the main hall of the Emperor's Palace, his words still remained.

Before he could stop, he heard a sudden bang from the other side and the sound of breaking tiles, interrupting his words. Then he saw a figure wearing a dark red robe hit the roof of the main hall of the Emperor's Palace.

It broke, and the tiles from the roof flew out across the air.

Flying out, to be precise, it was thrown out by something, an absolutely passive volley. At this time, although Pan Jie and Zhang Qi were quite far away from the main hall of the Emperor's Palace, for Pan Jie,

At this time, he could tell who the person who was thrown out was, wearing a dark red robe, in the main hall of the Emperor's Palace...

"Liang Ping..." Pan Jie looked at the figure falling to the roof and then rolling down to the ground. He recovered from the shock and couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Liang Ping? What..." At this time, it was Zhang Qi who spoke, because Zhang Qi was also surprised after hearing Pan Jie's words, because he really couldn't imagine a person as skilled as Liang Ping.

It's really unbelievable that someone would throw him out of the Emperor's Palace.

Yes, the figure flying out at this time was none other than the commander of the Guards. Under the orders of Zhang Qi, Liang Ping was personally responsible for protecting Cui Yu. The reason why Pan Jie was so sure, apart from his clothes, was actually just because of

The two of them are already too familiar. When they were alive, they were almost inseparable, and they would always be at each other's side. After death, after so many years of running-in in the Emperor's Palace, the two of them had already become familiar with each other.

People understand each other so well that you can tell their identity just by looking at their body shape without even looking at their faces.

Just like what Cui Yu said before, although Cui Yu and Liang Ping always like to differentiate themselves on some things and like to fight to the death, they are also the two people who care about each other the most.

At this time, Pan Jie didn't care about the rebels who were shuttled inside the Emperor's Hall. He ran directly towards Liang Ping, lifted Liang Ping up from the ground, and shouted repeatedly

As for Zhang Qi, although he also wanted to see how Liang Ping was doing and whether he was in danger, he wanted to know even more why Liang Ping suddenly flew out of the Emperor's Palace and who he met. After all,

The person Liang Ping was ordered to protect was Cui Yu, and Liang Ping, the person who protected Cui Yu, had already done this, so what would Cui Yu be like? And the jade seal in Cui Yu's hand was even more important.

So there was no hesitation on Zhang Qi's part at this time, and he disappeared immediately. When he appeared again, he had passed through the barrier that had no effect on him and appeared in the main hall inside the Emperor's Palace.

At this time, after Zhang Qi suddenly appeared, looking at everything that happened in front of him, Zhang Qi was so surprised that he could not speak. Or Zhang Qi could not find the words to describe his mood at this time.

Why? Because Cui Yu, who was unconscious at this time, was being held in the hands of a person who had no power to bind a chicken. In the other hand of that person, he was holding the Underworld Jade Seal Brocade Box that Cui Yu had tried to give to him for safekeeping.

Is Zhang Qi surprised just because of these situations? Of course not, more importantly, the person holding the brocade box is none other than the old man who claims to be loyal to Cui Yu and has been with him for a long time.

Servant... At this time, he was looking at Zhang Qi standing in front of him with a very proud smile, as if he had expected Zhang Qi to appear.

"Night-Wandering Priest? Are you really a Night-Wandering Priest? I really didn't expect that the majestic Night-Wandering Priest would actually get involved in private affairs in the underworld. Don't you know that you are just trying to meddle in other people's business?" Look.

When Zhang Qi appeared, the servant who had obviously betrayed Cui Yu did not show any fear. Instead, he sarcastically said to Zhang Qi

"Who are you? Why do you do this?" Zhang Qi heard his words and did not answer, but asked him in a low voice. After that, Zhang Qi suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked again

"Could it be that you were the one who opened the door just now? The one who allowed the rebels to swarm in?"

The underground door was suddenly opened just now, and it was obvious that there was a mole. As for the guards who were fighting to death, Zhang Qi did not want to doubt it. The only one who was worthy of doubt was the servant standing in front of Zhang Qi.

Hearing Zhang Qi's words, the servant couldn't help but chuckle a few times, then nodded to Zhang Qi and said, "You are indeed a Yeyou Priest. You have guessed all this, but since you can guess who fired it."

City Gate, then...then how could you not think of who I am? Haven't you been looking for me?"

At this time, Zhang Qi could not help but frown slightly when she heard his somewhat incomprehensible words. Then, Zhang Qi glanced at the servant and asked him in a low voice tentatively.

"Could it be...could you be the 'general' they call you?"

Hearing Zhang Qi's words, the old man couldn't help laughing immediately, and the laughter was absolutely not artificial at all. After laughing, the old man looked at Zhang Qi and said to him

"Yes, it's me... However, General is what they call me, and I think it's not very appropriate to call me that now, right? So I think it would be more accurate if you call me Jiang Hongling, King Jiang Ghost...

"

As he said this, the old man who called himself Jiang Hongling weighed the brocade box in his hand and laughed again at Zhang Qi.

Occupying the Emperor's Palace and taking away the Jade Seal of the Underworld means that he has indeed occupied the Underworld and can exercise the rights of the Ghost King. As long as he waits for the appointment from the Heaven, he can more legitimately become his own Ghost King... these

, Zhang Qi knew it, but Zhang Qi didn’t want to admit it, and then said

"Even if you take the jade seal, what can you prove? I guess it can only prove that you are a heinous person and a treacherous person. Don't forget that the Emperor's Palace and Fengdu City are not under your control now. You

Wanting to be a ghost king is simply a foolish dream..."

But before Zhang Qi finished speaking, Jiang Hongling laughed again, and then interrupted Zhang Qi's words and said

"Strong words... I ask you, you must be very clear about the current situation outside the city. Do the ghosts who have withdrawn from the war outside the city and expressed their submission to you, really submit to you? No, they submit to the ghost king.

, as long as I become the Ghost King, as long as I have power, they will still be my subordinates, and even the two fools Black and White will listen to my mercy..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Hongling stopped first, sneered, and then said

"But... although the things inside the Emperor's Palace are much more difficult than I imagined and a little beyond my expectation, I believe that it is only a matter of time before I achieve the final victory. If you hadn't stopped me, I believe

The entire Fengdu City has long been owned by me, and my name has been changed. However, I don't care. What I care more about is the result, because at this time, the jade seal representing the power of the underworld is already in my hands. I am the new ghost king. As long as everything calms down.

I will report it to the heavens and ask them to entrust the underworld to me. In this way, I will be the one everyone expects... This is an unshakable fact. Even if that old guy, the ghost king, comes back, what can he do to me? So... I advise you not to do it again.

Interfering in my affairs, if you dare to interfere again, don't blame me for not considering you a heavenly priest... I will punish you..."

The threat was definitely a threat to Zhang Qi, but in the face of this threat, Zhang Qi naturally didn't care and immediately said, "You want me to leave this place alone? Do you want to watch you destroy Fengdu City? Do you think this is possible?"
