The ghost kings came very slowly, even giving people the feeling of being deliberately delayed.
This is not surprising.
Just like when the eighteen princes challenged Dong Zhuo, how many of them really wanted to "help the Han Dynasty"
In the end, those who wanted fame got fame, those who wanted profit gained, and after eating and drinking, they dispersed, it was like having a picnic party.
The same goes for these ghost kings.
Although their desire to destroy the underworld is more determined and stronger than that of "supporting the Han Dynasty", they still have their own plans.
Who will be the leader and who will be the vanguard!
How to arrange the troops and how to transport food and grass!
Speaking of which, he is definitely no worse than the Eighteenth Route Princes.
Fortunately, no matter how much they argue, they will not give up halfway like the eighteenth princes.
After all, the underworld is not Dong Zhuo, and if you leave it alone, "big things" will happen.
Therefore, Ye Zan waited for a long time to find out the news and learned that ghost kings from all walks of life had gathered in Lost Soul Mountain.
Then, after notifying everyone to come to help and watch the fun, everyone on Ye Zan's side had already arrived, and they had to wait for the ghost kings for nearly two months.
Finally on this day, the ghost kings also knew that it was impossible to continue wrangling, and they arrived outside the gate of hell.
There are a total of two hundred and thirty-seven "overlord-level" ghost kings who came.
Among them, more than 80 are ghost kings at the level of Tongtian, and the rest are ghost kings at the peak level of Dharma.
And under each of these overlords, there are more or less ghost kings like the three ghosts, as well as ghost soldiers and generals whose numbers are not very different.
All in all, the originally vast space of the Ghost Gate has now been filled to the brim by the ghost kings and their teams.
You know, this is not a mortal army fighting.
These ghost kings each ride on the dark wind and black clouds, and also support their respective teams on them.
Therefore, it’s not just about filling up the ground and that’s it.
Instead, after closing the ghost door and looking outside, from the sky to the ground, everything was filled with black clouds.
In those black clouds, you can vaguely see the flags fluttering, as well as the occasional bits of light reflected from the swords, guns, and shields.
If these ghost kings can truly "unify", they will really be a force that cannot be underestimated.
There are more than 80 Heaven-reaching Masters, but today's Dragon Clan probably doesn't have this strength.
It's a pity that even the Dragon Clan has its own agenda, let alone these "ghosts".
Besides, here in the underworld, everyone who has closed the gate of hell looks like their eyes are wide open at this time.
Most people didn't know the specific strength of the ghost kings opposite them, so they didn't appear to be that scared.
If, like Ye Zan, they could clearly know how much the other party possessed, they would probably not be able to continue to stand on the city.
Not to mention those disciples, even those in the Yuanshen realm like Suihan Sanyou and others would never have the courage to fight against the Dharma and Tongtian.
It was also because of this that Ye Zan did not tell everyone how powerful the ghost kings were.
After all, Ye Zan was just letting everyone gain their knowledge, so that they could help out a little after the war.
The real battle with the ghost kings is really beyond the reach of those in the Yuanshen realm.
Or to be more precise, maybe no one else can use it, including the Lin family siblings, Jiuyin, and Zuowang.
Facing such an enemy, rushing out to "fight" with the opponent is the stupidest choice.
On Ye Zan's side, there are only a few people in the Dharma Realm. How can they compete with nearly a hundred ghost kings who reach the sky
If Ye Zan and the others really dare to go out and fight with each other, maybe a wave of spells will come over and nothing will be left here.
Therefore, the real means of defeating the enemy lies in the large formations arranged in advance, as well as the war fortresses and mobile fortresses overhead.
It is no exaggeration to say that if he were not afraid that these ghost kings would disperse in a hurry, Ye Zan would be able to crush all the ghost kings with his war fortress.
However, defeating the ghost kings is not the best result Ye Zan wants.
Ye Zan's goal is to keep these ghost kings alive, not just to win a city defense battle.
Keeping these ghost kings is not only for the future stability of the underworld, but also to facilitate the implementation of the "little boss" support plan.
At the same time, it was Ye Zan who found a good place for these ghost kings to realize their value.
After returning to the ghost gate, facing such a battle put up by the ghost kings, Lin Mumu only complained that the ghost kings were belatedly arriving, while Xiaoyan, Jiuyin and Zuowang had worried faces.
Although Ye Zan arranged a large formation, Xiaoyan Wang, Jiuyin, and Zuowang all knew about it.
However, it is difficult to imagine the answer without practice as to whether this formation is useful, how useful it can be, and whether it can deal with so many ghost kings.
There are more than two hundred overlord ghost kings, even if the immortals come down to earth, they may not be able to subdue them!
"It's almost there. Everything that should come has come, so we don't have to wait any longer." Ye Zan suddenly looked at the billowing black clouds opposite and said, his tone full of confidence, as if he was just facing some paper figures, and there was no trace of them. No worry or fear.
"Master... Master, is there going to be a war?" Little King of Hell asked with a trembling voice.
"Such a scene is not easy to see!" Ye Zan smiled and looked at the little King of Hell next to him, then raised his finger and pointed to the opposite side, and then said: "As the Lord of the Underworld, I believe you have had such an experience. , No matter what situation we encounter in the future, we won’t lose our composure.”
Indeed, except before the world collapsed, such a scene was absolutely rare.
Even back then, Tianyu Daozu's plan finally opened a passage to introduce evil spirits from outside the world, and staged a battle between the two worlds in the underworld.
If we don't count the battle between the Immortal Court and the true immortal-level demon outside the world, and just talk about the battle between the two sides in the underworld, I'm afraid it can't be compared to the current battle.
That's why Ye Zan said that after Little Hell saw this scene, he was afraid that no other scene could scare him.
"Yes, what the master said is absolutely true..." Seeing that his master was full of confidence, Little Hell naturally didn't want to say anything more, but it was still difficult to feel at ease.
Of course, Ye Zan also saw the worry of the little King of Hell, but it was useless to explain with words. Everything had to be based on facts.
"Watch it!" Ye Zan shouted in a low voice, but did not see any movement, and only looked towards the gate of hell again.
However, with Ye Zan's low shout, a strange phenomenon immediately appeared outside the ghost gate.
This so-called vision is, of course, the scene of the formation launching.
On the ground, surrounding the black clouds gathered by the ghost kings, beams of light suddenly rose into the sky, enclosing the ghost kings like a fence.
The scope of this "fence" is very large. Even though there are so many ghost kings gathered here, as well as the armies of these ghost kings, they are still not outside the scope at all.
Obviously, Ye Zan had left enough margin at the beginning of the formation.
Therefore, let alone these ghost kings, no fish will slip through the net even if it is doubled several times.
Unless these ghost kings go crazy and stay far away from each other, then some of them may actually run away from the formation.
But according to the temperament of the ghost kings, it is still difficult for such a situation to occur.
After all, they want to attack the underworld and prevent the reconstruction of the underworld. After all, they need to do something practical.
Instead of having a tea party, people who are on good terms are closer, and people who are on bad terms are more distant.
The ghost kings are not fools. Of course, they must concentrate their efforts to attack the ghost gate. It is of no use if everyone spreads out.
Of course, Ye Zan does not entirely rely on "luck". In fact, there are backup means in the layout of the formation, specifically to deal with individual situations.
But now it seems that there is no need for backup means at all.
Besides, on the battlefield, as the pillars of light rose up, completely surrounding the ghost kings, the ghost kings naturally reacted.
Anyone can know that being surrounded by light beams is definitely not a good thing.
However, the ghost kings were somewhat courageous and did not rush around in panic because of this change.
Looking from the side of Guimen Pass, we can see the billowing black cloud carrying countless ghost kings, ghost generals and ghost soldiers, suddenly speeding towards Guimen Pass.
The scene was like a tidal wave coming, and Guimenguan was like a tide-proof dam.
So, can the gate of hell be able to block this wave
Before the billowing black clouds came closer, holes were opened one after another in the ground below.
Those holes are so deep that you can't even see them with the naked eye. They are so densely packed all over the land outside the gates of hell that they can drive trypophobia patients to death.
As for what are those holes for
The people with the ghost gate closed could not see anything at all with their naked eyes. They could only see that as the holes appeared, the billowing black clouds seemed to roll much slower.
Moreover, the black clouds that originally looked like ink, like the halo of ink in Chinese paintings, are gradually fading from below.
Among the black clouds, those ghost soldiers and ghost generals naturally have a more intuitive feeling.
They didn't know what exactly happened, but they just felt a little uncomfortable suddenly, dizzy, nauseous, and uneasy!
The ghost kings were highly cultivated and did not feel this change deeply, but the ghost soldiers and ghost generals were a little unable to stand it.
I don’t know what order was sent from the ghost king’s army, but the black clouds coming towards the ghost gate suddenly stopped.
Then, various spells flew out from the black clouds and hit the ground like heavy rain.
Again, the ghost kings are not fools. They naturally know that such abnormalities must be related to those holes in the ground.
However, what the ghost kings did not expect was that after the rain-like spell landed, not even a speck of dust was raised, and it was instantly "eaten" by the holes in the ground.
It turns out that those holes are not used for launching or anything, but to prevent the Ghost King's army from damaging the ground.
When the ghost kings discovered this situation, the bottom layer of black clouds immediately separated from the large army and fell to the ground.
Since the spell can't destroy those holes, then just go ahead and do it!
This is in the Netherworld, and regardless of whether it is a ghost general or a ghost soldier, condensing the soul is the most basic requirement.
And after the soul body is condensed, it will not be like the "new ghosts" in the world of the world, unable to touch any physical things.
The black clouds slowly fell, and as they approached the ground, the effect of those holes became more obvious.
Those holes sucked all the black clouds in, like a powerful vacuum cleaner.
Upon seeing this, several ghost kings knew that they had no choice but to take action. They immediately used their abilities, and a stream of magic power fell around the black cloud, forcibly holding the deformed black cloud in place.
Then, ghost soldiers and ghosts will rush out of the black clouds and fall to the ground like dumplings.
However, the further down they went, the more dizzy and nauseated the ghost soldiers and generals felt.
When they were about to fall to the ground, their souls finally collapsed under the invisible force and turned into black smoke that was sucked in by the holes in the ground.
As for the ghost kings, when they saw that their soldiers were so helpless, they became furious and had no choice but to take action themselves.
Before they could take action, several ghost kings suddenly felt something was wrong. They all raised their heads and looked upwards, only to see that the large army above their heads had disappeared.
Several ghost kings immediately understood that they had fallen into a maze.
However, what they don't understand is that there is obviously nothing, so how is this maze arranged
You know, although not everyone knows how to set up an array, everyone knows that this arrangement requires formation holes, and some large formations even have to be laid out according to the terrain.
However, these ghost kings were watching from above, and there was nothing else on the ground except those holes.
Could it be that there is some kind of formation out of thin air
Besides, the large army above sent several ghost kings to solve the problem on the ground, but they watched the black clouds of several ghost kings disappear out of thin air.
Who knows, there must be some formation on the ground!
What to do
The ghost kings quickly made a decision. Since being on the ground only made them dizzy and nauseated, they might as well just ignore it.
Once the gate of hell is closed, everything will be solved.
Therefore, the ghost kings did not take care of the missing few, but once again urged the black clouds to rush towards the ghost gate.
However, Ye Zan had been planning for so long, with the intention of catching all the ghost kings in one fell swoop, so how could he only have this method
At this time, I saw those light pillars rising into the sky, like spotlights on a stage, suddenly starting to tilt in all directions.
With this tilt, the light pillars naturally become criss-crossed.
Moreover, after the light pillars were tilted and staggered, people discovered that those light pillars were not only emitted from the ground, but also emitted from the sky.
The beams of light shooting down from the sky naturally come from war fortresses and mobile fortresses.
However, the war fortress and mobile fortress are still high in the sky, and people cannot see them with the naked eye.
When these light beams begin to tilt, in addition to criss-crossing each other, they also sweep into the black clouds.
Pillars of light swept towards the black clouds, shining on the ghost soldiers and generals in the black clouds.
At this time, the ghost soldiers and generals realized that this light beam was not only able to illuminate, but also had the power to cause harm to their ghost cultivators.
Those light beams, like the sun's rays, fell on the ghost soldiers and generals, burning them until green smoke sizzled from their bodies.
