Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 376 - 266 Drought
"General, the power of the Evil Spirit is growing stronger; can the Ten Thousand Soul Banner really suppress it?"
A deputy general of the Heavenly Gang Army looked at the black fog in front of him, his face filled with worry.
Although the black fog obscured the sun and hid the scenery within, the rising temperature gave away that the Evil Spirit inside was gradually growing stronger.
At this rate, the power of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was at risk of being broken at any moment.
Hearing this, Shi Zhen also furrowed his brows tightly.
"Have everyone prepare, and the moment the Evil Spirit breaks through the suppression of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, we must act immediately—we cannot allow the Evil Spirit to escape and wreak havoc on the people!"
He declared resolutely, his gaze also fierce.
How could the grand Divine Martial Dynasty let an Evil Spirit cause chaos?
Now that peace in the Nine States had come so arduously, Shi Zhen would naturally not allow the Evil Spirit to disrupt it.
Even if it meant death.
He would block the Evil Spirit here.
Of course.
Shi Zhen was also aware.
Given the terrifying power of this Evil Spirit, even the entire Heavenly Gang Army working together would hardly be its match.
Don't look at the current strength of the Heavenly Gang Army having greatly increased, with the weakest of its 36,000 men in the Refining Organ Realm, and the strongest having stepped into the levels of Master and Great Grandmaster.
If they formed a grand array, coordinating with Shi Zhen who had stepped into the First Level of the Divine Transformation Realm, even a practitioner at the Sixth Level of the Divine Transformation Realm could be suppressed.
However.
The Evil Spirit of Shenhe County was no ordinary Divine Transformation Realm practitioner.
Even practitioners of the Daoist Palace Realm would find it challenging to face this Evil Spirit.
But.
Shi Zhen also understood.
He had no retreat.
As the saying goes, "An army nurtured over a thousand days is used in the moment of crisis," and at such critical times, the Heavenly Gang Army could not retreat.
Just then.
The black fog suddenly shook.
Terrifying heat waves swept and erupted, causing the black fog to gradually evaporate and dissipate, and the grotesque cries of agony within were also heard.
Many strange beings instantly hid into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and all the black fog also dissipated.
"The Evil Spirit is coming out!!"
Shi Zhen's face looked terrible, as he immediately ordered someone to blow the war horn. All the soldiers stationed in the camp gathered at the fastest speed.
At this moment.
The black fog cleared.
The earth was seen dry and cracked.
The Evil Spirit stood on the earth, the horrifically hot temperature causing space to distort and vanish as if it was being wholly incinerated.
An overwhelming might came flooding over, causing everyone's faces to change.
"The Evil Spirit is born!"
"Heavenly Gang Army, follow my command, prepare for a death battle!"
Shi Zhen stepped into the air, and the might of the Divine Transformation Realm spread out, the Heavenly Gang Army preparing to fight to the death.
"To the death!"
"To the death!!"
Boom—
The grand army assembled, an army formation quickly forming, with a tremendous amount of power converging on Shi Zhen, granting him a strength comparable to the Fourth Level of the Divine Transformation Realm or beyond.

However.
Such power was still insignificant in the face of the Evil Spirit.
The latter's eyes showed a human-like mockery, and a hoarse voice slowly transmitted.
"Ants..."
"also dare to contend with me!!"
As the voice fell.
The Evil Spirit slowly walked toward the Heavenly Gang Army, each step burning a fiery footprint onto the ground, an overwhelming might flooding like a tidal wave.
"Hmph!"
Shi Zhen grunted, his whole body's blood stalling somewhat, his gaze towards the approaching Evil Spirit filled with horror.
He knew the Evil Spirit was strong, but now, truly facing it directly, he could understand just how vast the gap between them was.
Meanwhile.
The Evil Spirit's articulation of human language also struck Shi Zhen as extraordinary.
After all, he had encountered many Evil Spirits, but most only knew slaughtering, and those that developed intelligence were extremely rare.
But without exception.
Such Evil Spirits were terribly fearsome.
In the last years of the former dynasty, these intelligent Evil Spirits often slaughtered a city or even more, triggering massive catastrophes.
Now.
This Evil Spirit was apparently the same.
"Fight!"
Seeing the Evil Spirit approaching, Shi Zhen was the first to strike, his long sword at his waist unsheathed, the vigorous and cold Blade Qi slicing through the void, powerful force grand and mighty.
However, this Evil Spirit completely ignored such an attack, not even bothering to defend, and when the Blade Qi came close, it abruptly dissipated.
This scene.
Made Shi Zhen's face turn even more embarrassed.
He had used all his power in that strike, yet it hadn't even broken through the Evil Spirit's defense, and the disparity between the two was despairingly vast.
"Die!"
The Evil Spirit's voice was hoarse, and its cyan-brown palm extended, a terrible heat wave transforming into a horrifying ghost hand, pressing down on the Heavenly Gang Army.
Boom—
The space shattered inch by inch, a terrifying oppression descending, causing everyone to show expressions of despair.
Shi Zhen wanted to resist desperately, but in the face of this strike's power, he found it much more difficult even to move.
Watching the falling colossal ghost hand, Shi Zhen's eyes also revealed unwillingness and despair.
Just when he thought he was about to perish, suddenly, a blue figure broke through the void, and with a casual flick of the sleeve, the ghost hand abruptly dispersed.
"Supreme Emperor!!!"
Shi Zhen's face showed an ecstatic expression, and his heart surged with the relief of having survived a catastrophe.
He hadn't expected Gu Qingfeng to appear at this moment.
But.
Shi Zhen was clear.
Since Gu Qingfeng had appeared, this Evil Spirit couldn't turn the tables.
"You first lead the people to retreat, I will handle the rest."
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand.
Hearing this, Shi Zhen didn't dare say more, and promptly led the Heavenly Gang Army to retreat several miles.
