Supreme Warrior in the City

"What!?" Su Yang almost jumped up in shock. The Zodiac Ghost King isn't just one person, but twelve? How can we handle this?

Su Yang had seen the strength of the Ghost Kings under the Jade-faced Judge, particularly the Three-eyed Ghost King and the Heart-extracting Ghost King.

Whichever Ghost King it is, their power is incredibly terrifying, far beyond what ordinary people can contend with.

Just these two Ghost Kings alone had already left Su Yang deeply impressed by the Jade-faced Judge's might.

But who would have thought that there were other Ghost Kings under the Jade-faced Judge's command. And not just one came this time, but twelve at once. Do they even have a hope of breaking through?

"The power of the Twelve Zodiac Ghost Kings isn't up to the level of the Three-eyed Ghost King or the Heart-extracting Ghost King," Qi Xuan said.

Su Yang felt slightly relieved, asking, "Then exactly what level of strength are they at?"

"If we talk about them individually, their strength..." Qi Xuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Su Yang and said, "Their strength is probably about thirty percent greater than yours..."

Su Yang was speechless, which meant that each one's strength exceeded his own.

"However, they don't usually act alone. The Zodiac Ghost Kings, as the name suggests, are aligned with the twelve zodiacs. Each has a zodiac companion, and when they fight alongside these companions, their strength can increase significantly," Qi Xuan said gravely. "When united with their zodiac companions, their strength might reach eighty to ninety percent of the Heart-extracting Ghost King's."

"What!?" Su Yang's eyes widened in shock, leaving him stunned.

Upon initially hearing that these people's strength was only thirty percent stronger than his own, he had felt a bit of relief, thinking they could at least manage.

But now, Qi Xuan's words shattered that fantasy instantly.

With twelve experts appearing whose strength is only slightly weaker than the Heart-extracting Ghost King, even if the four great generals under the Beigong War God were gathered, there would be no chance of escape.

Qi Xuan also frowned deeply, stating gravely, "The Zodiac Ghost Kings under the Jade-faced Judge rarely make a move. It's said they have been suppressed under the Buddha Palace. I didn't expect them to come this time. It seems that after the Buddha Palace was destroyed last time, the Jade-faced Judge was the greatest beneficiary. He rescued those who had been suppressed under the Buddha Palace!"

"How did the Jade-faced Judge manage this, and why does he have so many powerful subordinates?" Lv Donglin couldn't help but ask.

"The Jade-faced Judge is best at drawing people in, and he possesses extremely high intelligence. Having been developing for two to three hundred years, combining the people he nurtured with those he personally recruited, it's natural for him to gather so many powerful individuals," Qi Xuan said. "If our Lord were given another hundred years to develop, our Yan Gui City wouldn't be much inferior to the Jade-faced Judge. What we lack is the depth of time!"

"What about the Buddha Palace then?" Su Yang asked, "Mahakaya has had two to three hundred years as well, yet the Buddha Palace seems much weaker than the Jade-faced Judge."

"The Buddha Palace is different!" Qi Xuan shook his head. "The Buddhist Sect doesn't do such heart-warming things, nor does it deliberately cultivate its own power. So, even though the Buddha Palace has a great reputation, in reality, its power isn't even as great as our Yan Gui City. Otherwise, the four Major Sects wouldn't have destroyed the Buddha Palace so effortlessly previously!"

Su Yang sighed, reflecting that the Jade-faced Judge's careful scheming and many years of plotting were bound to result in his current power.

"Why is there no movement outside now?" Lv Donglin suddenly asked.

Qi Xuan glanced outside and replied gravely, "The Zodiac Ghost Kings are probably all here, and they're currently setting up the attack."

Lv Donglin looked at Su Yang, thinking that with the twelve Zodiac Ghost Kings assembled outside, they might really have no hope of breaking out.

Qi Xuan glanced at the two of them and said gravely, "However, we still have a bit of a chance. Before they complete their arrangements, let's charge out directly. Deng An, you will come with me to cover the rear, Su Alliance Leader, please take the Young Master and leave first. Once we've shaken off these twelve, we'll meet up with you again!"

Su Yang gave Qi Xuan a glance and sighed lightly, "Uncle Qi, if we run, is there any chance we'll reunite?"

Qi Xuan's face showed slight embarrassment, but he replied decisively, "Definitely, once we've shaken them off, we'll come to find you immediately!"

"If it was that easy to shake off the Twelve Zodiac Ghost Kings, you wouldn't be so worried," Su Yang said softly. "Uncle Qi, you two are planning to risk your lives to hold off these people to let us escape, aren't you?"

Lv Donglin's expression changed swiftly as he said sternly, "Uncle Qi Xuan, Uncle Deng An, if we leave, we all leave together. No one can die here!"

Qi Xuan, having his intention pointed out by Su Yang, couldn't help but sigh. He did want to leave with everyone, but is that even possible?

In fact, even if he and Deng An risk their lives here, it might not be enough to allow Su Yang and Lv Donglin to leave. What they can do is gamble their lives away, as long as Lv Donglin and Su Yang can escape, they die without regret!

"At this point, we have no other choice!" Qi Xuan said gravely, "Young Master, you are the only hope left by the Lord, you must live on. Otherwise, if the Lord is truly gone, how could we face him in the afterlife if anything happens to you?"

"Uncle Qi, last time I couldn't stay in Yan Gui City and fight alongside you. This time, I absolutely cannot leave first!" Lv Donglin declared resolutely, "I am the nephew of the Beigong War God. If I flee without fighting, would that not shame my uncle? Uncle Qi, do you want me to tarnish my uncle's lifelong reputation?"

Qi Xuan looked at the resolute expression of Lv Donglin and was momentarily at a loss for words.

At this moment, Su Yang, standing in the back, suddenly spoke quietly, "Maybe we don't need to worry excessively. I have a way to trick them."

"What way?" the three looked at Su Yang in surprise. It was hard enough to survive, yet he was thinking about tricking the enemy?

Su Yang chuckled without speaking. He stepped back a little, looked at the size of the cave space, and examined the surroundings, silently calculating the distances in his mind.

At this moment, an icy voice came from outside, "Qi Xuan, hand over the one named Su, and the others can leave. My master only wants the one named Su!"

"Stop dreaming!" Qi Xuan responded decisively, "If you want to take Su Alliance Leader, you'll have to kill me first!"

"Qi Xuan, you're choosing the hard way!" the voice outside turned cold again, "You should know who we are, yet still persist in error. Do you want Lv Donglin to also die here?"
