"With such meager abilities, you dare to covet Ashiya Doman's golden body? What was that saying again?"
Ying Chen looked at the sea of blood filling the sky, his demeanor as calm as ever.
"Ah, right, I remember now."
"A mouse volunteering to accompany a cat, to earn money and risk its life."
"What an interesting Aphorism."
Ying Chen seemed more interested in this Aphorism than in the female ghost.
He completely disregarded the female ghost's attacks.
This only enraged the female ghost further.
The sea of blood churned violently, raising waves several meters high. One skull after another emerged, forming an army of the undead that lunged towards Ying Chen.
"I originally wanted to toy with you a bit, but it seems... there's no need for that now!" the female ghost said coldly, staring at Ying Chen.
"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish. I'll make you a part of my mountain of corpses and sea of blood! And at the same time, I'll show you whether I have the right to covet that golden body!"
The female ghost unleashed her ultimate move!
All the undead in this sea of blood were the vengeful spirits of those who had died by her hand.
Every person she killed would strengthen her undead army.
If she lived long enough and killed enough people, she could theoretically possess an endless army!
At that point, she might truly become the King of Ghost Kings, renowned throughout the three realms.
Unfortunately, just as she began to pursue this ideal, she encountered someone she shouldn't have.
Ying Chen snapped his fingers.
The next second, a scene that caused the female ghost to turn pale with terror unfolded.
The army of the undead, which had been surging towards Ying Chen, suddenly turned around and counter-attacked the female ghost!
It was as if Ying Chen had implanted some kind of computer virus in them, instantly taking control!
But the female ghost knew that undead could not be affected by computer viruses.
"Impossible! How did you do that?"
The female ghost exclaimed.
Ying Chen casually replied, "If I were you, I wouldn't waste time asking that now. I'd focus on getting through the immediate crisis."
The female ghost scoffed, "Hmph, a few undead, and you think they can harm me? You must understand, they are my brood! If I could raise them, then I can also..."
Before the female ghost could finish, her expression changed drastically!
The undead army, which she had considered no threat at all, suddenly broke through her blood sea defenses and, like rabid dogs with no reason, pounced on her!
Most importantly, this undead army had never shown any tactical coordination under her command, always just a mindless frontal assault.
But now, this undead army had developed tactical coordination!
Not only were there classic tactics like flanking and feigned attacks, but also maneuvers like interspersed advances, concentrated attacks on one point with forces spread out on two, rapid advances with slow consolidation, three-by-three formations, and pick-and-roll tactics that only appeared in modern warfare!
The female ghost was dumbfounded.
Was this still the undead army she knew?
Ying Chen, seemingly sensing the female ghost's confusion, smiled slightly and said, "My apologies, I've recently been reading some classic battle books from this era. I was just practicing on you."
"You don't mind, do you?"
Ying Chen had led armies in battle two thousand years ago, and the habit of poring over military books was ingrained in him.
And recently, out of boredom, he had focused on reading modern military strategy books.
Besides understanding the destructive power of modern firearms, it had also enriched Ying Chen's command experience.
It was no exaggeration to say that if Ying Chen had the opportunity to return to the Qin Dynasty, the time it would take for the First Emperor to unify the six states would be significantly shortened, thanks to the tactical knowledge he had learned from a certain campaign in Longguo.
It was possible that the progress would be increased tenfold!
Because the light infantry tactics displayed by the team from Longguo, praised by the entire world as the "pinnacle of light infantry," were truly masterful!
The current undead army was attacking the female ghost using similar tactics.
Despite the vast disparity in strength, tactics had enabled a stunning reversal.
The female ghost was already covered in wounds, her body riddled with holes!
The female ghost was both shocked and enraged, wildly flailing her wedding dress.
However, each time she swung her wedding dress, while it managed to eliminate a few undead, it also tore off a piece of the dress.
These undead were even employing the "attrition tactic"!
Initially, the female ghost still had some pride and wanted to annihilate these undead to deflate Ying Chen's arrogance.
But now, the more she fought, the more her heart grew heavy, and for the first time, she actually had the thought of escaping!
She understood that such a thought was shameful, especially when facing an army of undead she had raised herself.
But her reason told her that if she didn't run now, she would surely die under the swarm tactics of these undead!
"Blood Sea Transforms into Netherworld!"
The female ghost roared these four words sternly.
Instantly, the blood sea boiled as if it were being heated, churning ceaselessly.
A vortex appeared in the center of the blood sea, bottomless.
It seemed to connect to the underworld.
The female ghost shot Ying Chen a cold, sharp look: "I'll remember you."
"I'll be back!"
After saying that, the female ghost suddenly leaped into the vortex!
Ying Chen frowned, "That line sounds so familiar..."
A moment later, he suddenly recalled, "Oh, it's from that cartoon Nannan watches."
Then, Ying Chen casually took a step forward, spread his fingers, and grabbed forward!
The next second, the female ghost, who should have escaped through the vortex, was caught in Ying Chen's hand.
Ying Chen looked at the female ghost with a mocking expression and said, "Do you think you're Gray Wolf?"
"But you're not wrong, you did come back. Although it was me who brought you back."
The female ghost stared at Ying Chen in horror, finally realizing the vast gap in strength between them.
She was no longer defiant, but pleaded and cried incessantly: "My lord, spare me, my lord, spare me... This humble one did not intentionally offend you. This humble one is willing to serve you as an ox or a horse for the rest of my life. I only beg you to spare my life!"
"Actually, my lord, if you look closely, this humble one, though a spirit, is quite beautiful!"
"As long as you say the word, this humble one is willing to do anything for you..."
"Don't you want to experience what Ning Caichen felt back then?"
The female ghost swayed her body alluringly, intending to employ a honey trap!
She even offered a temptation that would make any man's heart flutter and be difficult to refuse.
That was to emulate Ning Caichen and have a romance between human and ghost!
Unfortunately, the female ghost chose the wrong person.
Ying Chen looked at the female ghost coldly, shook his head, and uttered two words: "Too ugly."
"..." The female ghost was almost furious.
It was bad enough to be called ugly, but why add the word "too"?
Did he really need to show off his unparalleled, high taste?
Was this how he felt unique and unconventional?
What the female ghost didn't know was that Ying Chen wasn't trying to be unconventional at all.
Ying Chen was simply stating the truth.
Let alone his sworn enemy, his master, who was known as the "living Daji" because she was so devastatingly beautiful that she could overthrow kingdoms and states.
Even the concubines Ying Chen saw when he entered and exited the Qin Emperor's palace could easily overshadow the female ghost.
Given this, how could the female ghost try to seduce Ying Chen?
How could she move him?
"Ugly, you..." The female ghost, enraged, cursed.
But before she could utter the last syllable of "sir," Ying Chen tightened his grip, and with a bang, the female ghost dissolved into a puff of blood mist and vanished into the air.
"Next time, remember to use polite language," Ying Chen said faintly, dusting off his hands and turning to leave.
He left behind a towering silhouette, embodying the spirit of "purifying the online environment is everyone's responsibility."
