Chapter 745: Ghosts and Monsters

In the darkness, more and more ghosts in monstrous forms came out.

There were some human centipedes with their butts joined to their heads crawling over the walls and some ferocious-looking human bats flying across the sky with huge bat wings attached to their bodies.

There were also mummy-like things all wrapped in bandages, pacing around with poison dripping from their bodies. Every drop of poison that landed on the ground immediately eroded the spot and left a trail of huge holes behind them.

On the streets, zombies with exposed brains and rotting wounds all over their bodies crawled around slowly.

On the roof, several female ghosts covered in white cloaks floated around occasionally passing through walls as if they were formless.

All sorts of ghosts and monstrous beings emerged from the darkness, sending chills down the spines of the Holy Light apostles as well as Edward and his men.

Right at that moment, Philip cracked his head and pointed his finger, shooting out a laser-like beam of golden light which collided with a huge dog that had jumped out of the building window.

The huge dog that was shot by the golden light screamed in agony as it slumped on the floor. As everyone fixed their gaze on the dog, they could see that the dog was around two meters tall and coated with something black and muddy all over. One by one, the heads of men and women, young and old, emerged from the mud, making gut-wrenching screams for help.

These screams alone were enough to invoke fear amongst all who were there. The urge to turn and run away on the spot was real.

“What kind of ghastly thing is this?” Philip frowned when he saw that. Another ray of holy light descended from the sky, striking the big black dog directly. The holy light that was able to flatten a car and even suppress Bason only made the big black dog stumble and reel backwards at that moment. The dog glared viciously at Philip before retreating back into the darkness.

Philip’s heart sank at the sight before him. He could not even kill a dog… Looking at the countless ghosts and monsters lurking in the dark, even if their powers could not match up to that of the dog, there were too many of them to deal with.

“These ghosts and monsters are difficult to deal with. We battled with them before. Basically no matter what we did they could not be killed. Every ghost has a bizarre power which we mostly can’t guard ourselves against or counter with our abilities.” Edward was very scared that Philip would act rashly since he had not encountered these monsters before and might not understand the gravity of the situation. He continued to advise anxiously, “If we are stopped by them, it would just attract more of them over here. Let’s just retreat for now.”

“Bizarre powers?” Philip nodded in agreement. He was reminded of the screams from the big black dog which gave him the urge to run away as well. That was indeed a bizarre power.

“Edward is right,” Bason, who was still restrained, remarked coldly, “The ghosts and monsters in OX city have become endemic to this part of Vietnam. Troops have been activated on several occasions but they were all met with defeat. If you guys don’t retreat now, you will definitely die.”

“We can’t retreat anymore,” Philip said in a serious tone. “We’ve been targeted.”

As Philip said that, the ghosts and monsters lurking in the dark screamed ghoulishly at them in unison. The screams of thousands of ghosts resounded in the dead of the night as if it were a chorus from Hell. After the ghosts and monsters screamed at the sky, they turned their gazes on Philip and company watching as they broke out in cold sweat.

A person standing on stage might feel nervous to give a speech in front of hundreds of people, let alone in that situation. The fear and terror felt from thousands of ghosts and monsters masked in the dark under the night sky staring at them was overwhelming.

Even Bason who was restrained by the Holy Light could not help breaking out in cold sweat as he thought, “These guys from Holy Light, how did they provoke these ghastly things?”

“They’re coming,” Philip shouted, “Defense formation! Unleash the holy light at full force! We will break out of this siege!”

Bam!

Rays of golden light burst out like flames from the 15 apostles of Holy Light, layering and adding onto each other’s powers and floating upwards as if a flashing golden sun had risen in the night sky.

The next moment, the burst of golden light rays began to shrink and became compact. The more it shrank, the thicker and richer its golden color before it finally turned into the form of a golden palace which encapsulated all the people at the scene.

Philip quietly let out a breath in relief at the completion of the defense formation. The next moment, thousands of ghosts and monsters roared around them as they charged forward in unison surrounding them in all directions.

All sorts of bizarre-looking and bone-chilling ghosts and monsters charged at them at once. More bizarre-looking creatures joined in the army of ghosts and monsters from rows of houses and the gutters below them, swarming forward in waves.

Philip and the rest looked up at the sky which seemed to have been engulfed by a tsunami of monsters and ghosts that were closing in on them.

Looking at the terrifying scene before them, all the apostles in Holy Light were aghast. Could they really survive against such a terrifying army of monsters?

Bason shook his head repeatedly as he gasped, “How did this happen? The ghosts and monsters in OX city have actually amassed to such alarming numbers? What are the troops in Vietnam doing?!”

Just as everyone thought they were going to be swallowed whole by the mass of attacking ghosts and monsters, they realized that the army of ghosts and monsters just crossed over their heads and headed straight for the hotel behind them.

“What happened?”

“Where are they going?”

“These ghosts and monsters aren’t targeting us!”

Philip, Edward, Bason, and the rest stared in astonishment as the army of ghosts and monsters that could fill the whole Yangtze River flew over their heads towards the hotel.

However, just a second before the army was about to break the outer walls and windows apart and barge into the hotel, everyone subconsciously felt that the army of ghosts and monsters had stopped just for that moment in time.

The next moment, rays of silver light flashed across the sky and enveloped the whole army of ghosts and monsters. Thousands of ghosts were sliced apart by an invisible blade, dropping from the sky in chunks which fell to the ground as if it was raining.

The whole army of ghosts and monsters stopped in their tracks at that moment, as if they were stunned by the terrifying attack.

Zhao Yao strolled out of a big hole that had been blasted open and walked up into the sky with every step he took. Under the control of the Deflective Field, the vibrating Murasama blade that Rice Cake had turned into fluttered around him like an obedient puppy.

Rice Cake asked curiously, “Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao, aren’t you flying upwards? Why are you pretending to walk?”

“This is the same as flaring your fur in a battle to boost your battle aura.” Cheese, who had turned into the cloak, immediately interjected, “Zhao Yao is acting like he is very powerful.”

Zhao Yao was enraged as he scolded them telepathically, “Shut up, you’re disturbing me in the battle.”

Next, Zhao Yao scanned the army of ghosts and monsters before him. He then turned his gaze on the seemingly obscure Philip, Edward, Bason and the people around them.

Philip stared in astonishment at the Headless Horseman floating in the sky, “This is a ghost too? Are these ghosts and monsters having an internal battle?”
