I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

"Ahhh! Help!"

"Goddess, Xuan Huang protects me... Oh my god, why is it not working?"

"Wow, wow, wow...I don't want to die!"

"Get away! You monsters!"

"Don't come over here!"

"Tianzun, save me!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Screams and cries were heard continuously.

This is a small town fifty miles outside the capital, which was torn into two halves by a sudden earthquake. In the center of the town is a bottomless black abyss that is hundreds of feet wide.

Countless black air swirled around, and ghosts with green faces, fangs, and red eyes rushed out of the abyss along with the black air and came to the human world. They rushed into the town, biting anyone they saw and pounced on them to eat their flesh and blood.

People who were bitten by the ghosts were instantly turned into mummies or bones. Some were even more miserable, with not even a trace of their bodies left.

The ghosts did not even spare chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep. Wherever they passed, no living creature was left. All living creatures were devoured by them.

"Xuan Huang helps me, the sky thunder will kill the evil!"

Lightning as thick as chopsticks flashed across the sky, and several ghost shadows were instantly turned into ashes.

In the small town, four monks wearing Sitianyuan uniforms formed a formation and struggled to resist the red-eyed ghosts that were rushing towards them.

They stopped at the door of a two-story inn, which had its doors and windows tightly shut. Inside, dozens of shivering people, mostly women and children, were huddled. A temporary barrier was set up on the doors and windows of the inn using magic tools, talismans, and gold paint to block the invasion of ghosts.

The four monks were outside the barrier, killing the ghosts that were attacking the barrier, trying to prolong the existence of the barrier as much as possible.

These four cultivators are only at the Qi Refining stage, and the strongest captain has only recently reached the Golden Core realm.

This group of monks were just passing by here on official business when suddenly the sky collapsed and the earth broke, and ghosts emerged from the ground to harm people, so they immediately took action and saved some of the people around them.

However, their strength was limited, and the ghost was extremely difficult to deal with, comparable to a ghost with decades of experience. They could only do their best to save a few people.

Moreover, if the Si Tian Academy had not implemented improved spells, provided unified training to the monks to improve their practical combat capabilities, and equipped each monk with powerful magic weapons and treasures such as the Yuan Qi Gourd to replenish their mana,

If it were the Qi-refining cultivators of the past, they would probably not be able to save themselves, let alone save others.

"Damn it! Where do all these evil spirits come from?"

"Has the gate of the underworld been opened?!"

A sword cultivator could not help but complain through gritted teeth, swinging his sword and trying his best to kill the ghosts one by one.

"Captain, I'm running out of energy!"

The charming female monk shouted anxiously, and shot out a golden ring with purple flames, which smashed the two ghosts. She was sweating profusely and panting. Two furry fox ears appeared on her head. It turned out to be a fox demon, which could not maintain its complete human form due to lack of magic power.

"Use mine!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest who was called the captain took off the gourd bottle from his waist without hesitation and threw it to the fox girl. The fox girl grabbed it and immediately took a sip, burped, and her face quickly turned from pale to rosy.

"Come on, you damned ones! Have a taste of my power!"

The fox female monk took off three more golden rings from her wrists, and threw out four golden rings at the same time, instantly clearing out the ghost shadows around.

"Amitabha. My teammates, please take a rest for a while. I will take care of the rest."

The handsome young monk, who had been protected in the middle by his teammates and had not taken any action, stood up and recited a symbol. He threw the Buddhist beads in his hand into the sky, and they fell around the four people like flowers scattered by fairies, forming three circles.

"Mami Ba Mahong, Mami Ba Mahong..."

The young monk posed in the Buddha's posture of meditating on a flower, sitting cross-legged in the center of the formation, chanting the mantra quickly. A sacred and majestic golden shadow of the Buddha suddenly appeared behind him, and the Buddha's shadow moved its lips, chanting along with the monk.

Suddenly, there were bursts of Sanskrit sounds, and a circle of golden light bloomed from the Buddha's body, covering an area of ​​several feet in radius, protecting the four monks.

Countless Sanskrit words appeared and disappeared in the golden light. The ghost shadows in the sky collided with the golden light, like cold oil thrown into a hot pot, making a sizzling sound, and then being bounced away.

The other three monks took the opportunity to sit down, regulate their breathing, take pills, and restore their magic power.

"Captain, have you contacted the county?"

The captain shook his head slightly. The swordsman who asked the question looked gloomy and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

Looking at the ghostly figures outside the barrier, the doomsday-like scene, the captain of the monks took a deep breath and encouraged his team members: "Everyone, when such a big thing happens, the Heavenly Lord and the seniors in the cultivation world will definitely not sit idly by."

"We are monks of the imperial court, enjoying wealth and honor. Now the world is in great trouble, and we can only work hard to save the country and sacrifice our lives for the country."

"Only in this way can our hard work in cultivating our magical powers be worthwhile!"

The female monk said generously: "The captain is right. Killing one will cover the cost, and killing two will be a profit."

The swordsman glanced at her and said, "You look like a vixen even when you're silent."

"You sword-wielding brat, why are you cursing? I think you are coveting my beauty!"

"Bullshit! The sword is the only thing on my mind. Women will only affect the speed at which I can draw the sword!"

The monk captain did not stop the two of them from bickering. Bickering was good for relaxing, as they were too tense and could not hold on for long.

He looked down at the bronze plate on his waist - it was a token of the Sitian Academy and also a beacon connecting to the Xuanhuang Pagoda of the Jiuzhou Grand Formation. But the plate that usually shone with divine light was now dim, and could not lend any magic power.

There is only one possibility: the power of the Jiuzhou formation is not enough... It seems that this earth-shattering catastrophe is not only happening here, it is very likely that the whole world is experiencing similar scenes.

The captain of the monks had some guesses about this.

After less than a cup of tea, the ground shook violently again, the crack in the center of the town continued to expand, and hundreds of ferocious ghosts rushed out again.

These ghostly auras are more terrifying and powerful than before.

"Hold the line!"

The captain shouted, took out the few remaining talismans, infused them with magic power and threw them out.

……

"Huh...huh..."

Two incense sticks later, the captain of the monks was panting and struggling to kill the last ghost that attacked the inn.

He looked bad, his hair was half black and half white, half of his body was dry like an old tree, and there were several wounds on his body deep enough to see the bones, which were constantly dripping with smelly black blood.

Next to him, the swordsman's head was separated from his body, his charred body was in pieces, and the long sword was broken into several pieces.

A red fox, with only half of its fur left and no bones left.

The monk was even worse off. He disappeared without a trace, and where he had been sitting, there was only a suspicious pool of ashes.

Evil ghosts continued to emerge from the cracks in the abyss, and a black smoke with dozens of ghosts tangled together flew towards the inn with a scream.

[It seems... that's the end...]

The captain of the monks looked at the ghost shadow rushing towards him, and with a determined heart, he swallowed the broken demon pill left by the female fox demon and the relics left by the monk.
