The moment the Doom Knight appeared, he exerted unparalleled pressure on Cao Yanbing.
'This… what exactly is this thing? Why does it have the aura of a soul?'
He had never seen a person five or six meters tall; judging by its stance, even if it took off its handsome armor, it would still be five meters tall.
The Doom Knight merely took a step forward, instantly vanishing from its spot, and its battle spear swept horizontally, striking Xu Chu's Warhammer.
With just one blow, Xu Chu was directly sent flying by the immense power.
Cao Yanbing, who had always been calm, finally changed his expression. Xu Chu was no match for the opponent, and he hadn't even clearly seen the opponent's speed just now.
Not only him, but even Zhang Chulan, who had retreated to watch the show, opened his mouth wide in shock.
"General Cao, come on… let me see how much real skill you, the Blazing General, truly possess."
The flying Xu Chu reappeared in front of Cao Yanbing. This was one of the advantages of Guardian Spirits; like the summoned beasts in the Naruto World, they could cancel themselves at any time and reappear beside their Soul Master.
The flames on Xu Chu's body surged even more fiercely, and even though he knew he was outmatched, he showed no intention of retreating.
"Lord…"
Cao Yanbing stared intently at Yang Tao: "Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in coming to my Soul Calming Street?"
"Naturally, it's to clear out those evil spirits. As for fighting you, it's purely for a bit of fun."
What Yang Tao said was true. He was only somewhat interested in things like Cao Yanbing and the Martial God Body, but that was all.
The evil spirits in this world were what he needed.
The ordinary souls in Soul Calming Street had their own consciousness and lives, and Yang Tao would let them live peacefully, but for those evil spirits that had already been consumed by malevolence…
Well, no offense, but why not take what's free?
Walking step by step towards Cao Yanbing, Cao Yanbing didn't dare to be arrogant and said, "Rakshasa Street is the place I protect. No one can cause trouble here. Come out and show yourself, Dian Wei!"
A figure holding a Crazed Shark Iron Halberd appeared in front of Cao Yanbing, his majestic physique no less imposing than Xu Chu's.
"There's another master?"
Yang Tao seemed to be awestruck and stopped, looking at the tall figure wearing a bull warrior helmet: "How many Guardian Spirits do you have?!"
Cao Yanbing wasn't as arrogant as he was in the original plot, but he still said confidently, "Heh heh, I am the Soul Calming General of Rakshasa Street, the Blazing General Cao Yanbing. I have seven such Guardian Spirits!"
Yang Tao's seemingly shocked expression vanished, replaced by his usual calm smile. He looked at Cao Yanbing and said, "Indeed, your answer is the same as mine. Since that's the case, let me show you my people too!"
Ten white lights lit up.
Including the Doom Knight from earlier, a ten-person team fully appeared, with an additional Doom Lord.
The appearance of ten Doom Knights and one Doom Lord made Cao Yanbing involuntarily take two steps back.
Giants over ten meters tall!
An ordinary Xu Chu was no match, and that towering one was clearly a big boss. How was he supposed to play this??
"I have over a thousand more subordinates like these."
He looked at Zhang Chulan playfully and smiled, "Then let me see your remaining five Guardian Spirits. Don't worry, I can definitely make sure they have a good time."
Cao Yanbing really wanted to curse. At this stage, summoning two Guardian Spirits already pushed his stamina to its limit, and the remaining five still didn't obey him. He was just bragging earlier; who knew this guy could really bring so many people?
But surrendering or running away was not something Cao Yanbing would do.
"Yama Cannon!"
Yama Cannon was a long-range attack skill that fired a beam of flame from the Ten Halls of Yama, possessing strong penetration and immense power.
"You guys just help me hold those two down. This person is mine…"
Yang Tao said softly. Ten Doom Knights had already appeared beside Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Even one-on-one was like an adult bullying a fertilized egg, let alone five people holding down one.
Dian Wei and Xu Chu were pinned to the ground without even the ability to resist.
Surging flames directly engulfed Yang Tao, and the scorching high temperature caused the air to distort.
Yang Tao continued to walk step by step towards Cao Yanbing. The opponent naturally sensed the situation within the flames and couldn't help but frown.
"No more suspense, I'll be frank. Flames have no effect on me. Don't even mention your so-called Nether fire; I can even swim a couple of laps on the sun."
Radiation? What radiation? If you don't believe me, I'll take you up there with me and show you if I can swim a couple of laps.
Cao Yanbing still didn't give up, carrying the Ten Halls of Yama and leaping into the sky: 'Great Flame Splitting Sky Hammer.'
This move was essentially transforming the Ten Halls of Yama in his hand into a heavy hammer, striking the ground from the air, spreading Nether fire in all directions to cause large-scale damage.
Thud.
Yang Tao's body didn't even sway as he took a direct hit from Cao Yanbing's attack.
Then, with quick eyes and hands, he grabbed the Ten Halls of Yama in his hand.
"Let me see!"
With a powerful pull, the immense strength gave Cao Yanbing no chance to resist, and the Ten Halls of Yama, a legendary weapon of Soul Calming Street, was snatched away by Yang Tao.
The Ten Halls of Yama immediately began to struggle and resist, and even the other few souls residing within it were resisting Yang Tao, the uninvited guest.
However, Yang Tao, with his formidable strength and mental immunity, paid them no mind. He tore off the white demon-sealing talismans wrapped around the Ten Halls of Yama.
"It's a bit ugly; not as good-looking as my battle spear."
Some souls screamed from within the staff. Yang Tao applied his versatile power of faith to his hand, then grabbed the staff and pulled.
A red, evil spirit-like soul was pulled out by him.
"Give me back my weapon!"
Cao Yanbing, looking furious, charged at Yang Tao again.
Yang Tao, holding the unknown martial spirit, looked at the charging Cao Yanbing and said, "General Cao, when you fight an enemy, do you show mercy?"
Cao Yanbing: "…"
No, he definitely wouldn't.
Yang Tao ignored him and asked the Guardian Spirit in his hand, "Which martial general of Great Wei are you!"
"I am Xiahou Dun, young man, who are you?"
So it's you! One-eyed Xiahou Dun!
Father's essence, mother's blood, cannot be discarded! How many people came to know this fierce general because of that.
No wonder your shouting was the loudest.
"Just a nobody. General Sia, come out and let me witness your strength!"
With that, Yang Tao released his hand.
"Hmph, I am loyal to Lord Cao. If he inherits Lord Cao's will, I will naturally follow him. Otherwise, even if I die, I will not make a move."
With that, he plunged back into the Ten Halls of Yama.
Yang Tao looked at the Ten Halls of Yama in his hand, then at Cao Yanbing, and then threw the Ten Halls of Yama back to him with great disdain: "You should keep this thing yourself."
In this world, the loyalty, courage, belief, and obedience of martial generals were well displayed.
But if he were Cao Yanbing, he would already be thinking about cultivating new Guardian Spirits, because they were loyal to Lord Cao, not him, Cao Yanbing.
