Fight for life

"Whoosh!"

The cold wind around me grew stronger, and the chilly air kept drilling into my pores.

More and more ghost soldiers were gathering towards me.

Seeing this situation, my mouth was filled with bitterness!!

Time and again, it has been proven how right my father was!

My fate is indeed too soft; whenever I deal with these filthy things, I inevitably become their target at the first moment.

Right now, I had just stepped out of the doorway when ghost soldiers from all directions suddenly swarmed towards me. The pressure on Qingyi, who was less than thirty meters away from me, suddenly lessened significantly, and she quickly moved towards the small hill opposite us.

No matter what... I guess my role as cannon fodder is accomplished, right?

I sighed softly in my heart, not knowing whether to feel honored or sad about my own worth.

At this time, the red dragon on my chest given by Zhang Jinya was almost completely burned out, and the ghost soldiers around me were no longer so wary of me. They started to approach me continuously. My hand holding the knife began to tremble slightly, not knowing whether it was from the cold, nervousness, or fear!

I desperately looked at the last bit of the red dragon on my chest. To be honest, I've never longed for a used sanitary pad so much...

Okay, although it sounds a bit perverted, this thing is indeed my lifesaver right now.

Finally, the red dragon was burned out.

Instantly, the ghost soldiers became excited, and the shrill screams from all around made my skin crawl!

"Roar!! I'm going all out!"

I shouted loudly, the excessive excitement made my body tremble uncontrollably. Even I was startled by the roar that came out. Was that really my voice?

Hoarse, filled with despair and anger, so loud that I couldn't believe such a roar came from my throat. It was only at this moment that I realized that people really can burst out extraordinary potential between life and death.

And I, am exactly such a person right now!

Forward!!

Only by attacking forward can I survive!

I know I must look like a madman right now, but I am a calm madman. I understand that attacking is my only way to live because I am surrounded by countless ghost soldiers. If I stay still, I will definitely be surrounded and die even faster. Only by breaking through and creating a path of blood might I see the light of life!

With that thought, I gripped the Baipi Knife in my hand and charged at the nearest ghost soldiers. These ghost soldiers were clearly eyeing me, their spears stabbing towards me. Fortunately, they weren't particularly fast. I dodged to the side, but the sound of the spears cutting through the air next to my ear still made me sweat profusely. I swung the Baipi Knife at one of the ghost soldiers' heads, striking it solidly, and I split that ghost soldier's head in half!

There was no scene of blood splattering. After I split the ghost soldier's head, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and vanished, but the weapon in its hand clanged crisply as it fell to the ground.

As I had guessed, those ghost soldiers were just materialized ghostly spirits, but the weapons in their hands were indeed real.

However, there was no time for me to think more. After knocking down one, I charged forward. By now, I was basically in the nest of ghost soldiers. The yin energy around me made me feel like I was standing naked in an ice cave, extremely uncomfortable. But facing the ghost soldiers from all directions, I ignored this pain and used my shoulder to knock away a few ghost soldiers on the left and right, then faced a ghost soldier head-on, swinging the Baipi Knife fiercely against the spear in its hand!

"Crack!"

To my surprise, the spear in the ghost soldier's hand might have been corroded from lying underground for too long and was no longer in good shape. It broke into two pieces upon contact with my Baipi Knife. Because I used too much force, not only did I break the spear, but the remaining force also cut into the ghost soldier's neck, chopping off its head in one strike.

Gurgle...

The head of the ghost soldier rolled on the ground, its eyes still staring straight at me, and its mouth even showed a very eerie smile at me before it and its body turned into a puff of black smoke and completely dissipated.

Although the last smile of the ghost soldier made me feel chilly inside, I was no longer so afraid. The scene just now made me realize that with the Baipi Knife, I might still have a chance this time. My spirits were greatly lifted, and I let out a roar to vent the frustration in my heart, then swung the Baipi Knife and rushed forward!

I must keep moving, I absolutely can't let the ghost soldiers behind catch up, or I really won't have a chance!

I kept reminding myself in my heart, in this place, life and death are a matter of minutes. If you want to live, you can't look back. Therefore, I charged forward like a madman. After slaying two ghost soldiers, I wasn't too afraid of these things anymore and even gained some experience.

They are not strong at all. A killing knife stained with yang blood can knock them down with one strike. Plus, I have the treasure Baipi Knife, so I'm not afraid of confronting them at all. Gradually, I also figured out a set of tactics—step forward, use my shoulders to knock away the ghost soldiers on both sides, then chop down the ghost soldier right in front of me along with its spear.

In this way, I charged left and right among the ghost soldiers, relying on the Baipi Knife to knock down countless ghost soldiers.

What teammates, what Qingyi, what ghost generals...

At this time, I forgot all of them. To me, these are nothing. Only when you truly experience the baptism and test of life and death will you understand—the most important thing is to survive!

Anyway, I just fucking want to live!!!

This is my only thought, although I also know that after knocking down so many ghost soldiers tonight, causing so many ghost soldiers to dissipate, I'm probably going to bear more yin debts. As Zhang Jinya said, casually causing the souls of the dead to dissipate, destroying their reincarnation, is a loss of yin virtue. Doing it too much will get you on the blacklist of the underworld. When I die and go to the underworld, they definitely won't give me any good fruit to eat. Not playing with me a hundred and eighty times with knife mountains and oil pots would be considered incompetent by the underworld!

But, can I think that far ahead right now? If I don't make these ghost soldiers dissipate, I will be the one to dissipate, becoming a fart blown out by someone like Wu Pangzi, harming other people's sense of smell!!

Between life and death, I've already forgotten everything in this world, and there's only one word in my heart—kill!!!

Attack! Attack! And attack again!

I don't know how long I've been fighting. When my arms were sore, my body was weak, and I was completely relying on instinct and a strong will to live to swing the knife and knock down one ghost soldier after another, I finally saw a bit of green in front of me. It was no longer the endless sea of ghost soldiers!

It's the woods opposite the ancient temple!!

I've fought my way out!!

I was overjoyed in my heart, and my somewhat wilted spirit due to exhaustion suddenly revived.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Rosa's voice behind me: "Be careful!!!"

I was stunned, and subconsciously looked back. I saw Rosa, not knowing when she had also rushed out, holding a blood-stained dagger, not far behind me. However, her skills were so good that she was still more than capable among the ghost soldiers, leaping and dodging, and often each swing of her dagger could cut off a ghost soldier's neck. But I only glanced at her for a moment, not even a second, then a dark shadow flashed before my eyes, and when I saw it clearly, I was shocked—it was a spear, heading straight for my chest!

A ghost soldier had somehow gotten to my side and launched a deadly strike!!

I quickly moved to the side, but it was still too late. The spear pierced into my shoulder, and I felt a sharp pain.

Damn it, can't you pick another spot!!!

This damn ghost soldier stabbed me right where the tomb tiger had bitten me. I grabbed the ghost soldier's spear and "crack," chopped it with my knife, then with a backhand strike, I knocked down the ghost soldier who had ambushed me. But to prevent tearing the wound, I didn't dare to pull out the spearhead stuck in my shoulder. I quickly retreated to the edge of the woods and then sat down on the ground. Thinking back to that moment, I still felt a chill in my heart. If it weren't for Rosa's warning, that spear would have taken my life just now.

At this time, those ghost soldiers behind me had caught up again and were pressing towards me. Although Rosa was doing her best to block them and win me a chance to breathe, she was just one person and couldn't stop these thousands of ghost soldiers.

Seeing this scene, my heart sank.

Now I couldn't move my left arm at all, the severe pain made cold sweat seep out from my forehead, and almost half of my body was numb. I could feel the warm blood flowing down to my thigh. It was difficult to even stand up, let alone fight.

I was gasping for air, leaning against a big tree with a wry smile, thinking that this was the end for me.

Do I have regrets?

To be honest, I do. I still haven't figured out my father's death, and there are too many things I want to explore and resolve. And... most importantly, I haven't had the chance to get married yet!!

But all of this is useless. If the King of Hell wants you to die at midnight, you can't live an extra hour!

This is fate!

Watching those ghost soldiers getting closer and closer to me, I really wanted to shout out a heroic statement like "With a swift blade, I do not let down my youth" to summarize my life, but I am not a hero, and my Chinese isn't good enough. Even if I wanted to compose a couplet, I couldn't come up with one. The only thing that came to mind was—"Eighteen years later, still a tough guy..."

At this moment, I realized that my life is a complete tragedy. The experiences I've had since receiving the Baipi Knife turned out to be the most exciting of my life. My life lacks some grand content...

If I can survive...

I fucking have to be a man who stands tall and upright!!

I roared in my heart and resignedly closed my eyes.

Who would have thought that at this moment, a very pleasant female voice suddenly sounded in my heart: "If you want to live, give your body to me!"
