Chapter 477 Driving a Tiger to Devour a Wolf
His soft voice echoed between heaven and earth, causing the few ghostly scholars to freeze in place.
"Are you Ye Ru?"
The leading ghost scholar was taken aback at first, then a sinister smile appeared on his face:
"Since you've walked right into my trap, I'll accept it politely."
As soon as the voice fell, the ghostly scholar slowly walked towards Ye Ru.
As the man approached, Ye Ru smiled slightly and said to him, "Don't think I'm the only one here. If you move any further out, I can't guarantee where this arrow will hit."
"Oh? Can scholars kill each other? If you dare to make a move, the rules here will throw you all out."
"What if it's the Ghost Scholar? The rules here don't say you can't get rid of the Ghost Scholar."
Ye Ru's words made the leader of the ghost scholars' faces turn completely cold. Finally, he looked at Ye Ru and then waved his hand. The remaining five ghost scholars formed a semi-circle and surrounded Ye Ru. Their expressions were unfriendly, and it was clear that they did not believe Ye Ru's words.
"Alright, since you don't believe me, you're welcome to try."
Seeing their excited eyes, Ye Ru shrugged helplessly and then spoke without moving.
"Go! Capture him and help Lord Yan share the burden. I refuse to believe that he can master all six arts!"
The leading ghost scholar let out a cold shout, and immediately those around him pounced on him.
However, just as they were about to reach Ye Ru, three sharp arrows suddenly shot out from behind him.
The arrow pierced right past Ye Ru's ear, accompanied by the sound of wind cutting through it.
Boom!
Three muffled thuds rang out, followed by a powerful force that sent the three people flying. They crashed into two large trees before finally coming to a stop.
This scene silenced everyone present, and even the leading ghost scholar was somewhat shocked.
Unexpectedly, the other party really did have some people hiding there.
"What? Want to try again?"
Ye Ru shrugged, looked at the ghostly scholar who was frozen in place, and said with a smile.
"Don't be so arrogant! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have someone backing you!"
Seeing this, the remaining two ghost scholars took two steps back, looked around warily, and then sneered.
In terms of numbers, these ghost scholars are no less numerous than these literati, and their strength is even greater.
After all, the Ghost Scholar had been amplified by dark demonic power.
"Is that so? If we're talking about numbers, I have them too."
Ye Ru nodded, patted his palm lightly, and dozens of scholars leaped out from the woods behind him, all holding longbows with arrows pointed at the two ghostly scholars.
"Take care of them, then head to the next location. We must unite our literary faction, otherwise these devilish scholars will break through one by one and inflict fatal damage on us."
Nodding, Kong Ling also spoke solemnly.
"Okay, let's take care of it."
After Ye Ru finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the dense forest. As Ye Ru disappeared, a scream echoed through the land.
When Ye Ru gathered all the Jin scholars who were participating in the archery competition of the Six Arts, outsiders also took notice of this action.
"Excellent, excellent. The ability to unite all the intellectuals is something that ordinary people cannot achieve."
Xie Ming looked at the people constantly moving through the woods and said with a smile to the person next to him.
"He must also know that on this battlefield where one cannot use one's talent, even he alone could not defeat all the ghost scholars. Only by uniting one side can they possibly win."
Mr. Kong nodded and said solemnly.
Although this method is somewhat opportunistic, leveraging Kong Ling's influence as a student of the Confucian family, it is still a skill in itself. After all, the people present are all proud and arrogant, and getting them to obey is not an easy task.
"However, since the Ghost Scholar has been amplified, his abilities are already stronger than those of ordinary scholars. If we don't know this, what methods will Ye Ru and Kong Ling come up with?"
Shi Tianze also said solemnly, as for whether Ye Ru killed his child, that will be discussed later, after the other party has finished speaking.
This literary gathering was prepared by the National Holy Academy. If I were to forcibly accuse the other party of a crime, even if I am from a family of saints, the National Holy Academy would probably not let me off the hook.
"What's the situation now?"
Star Ape King turned his head and said to Zhang Dong.
"The current situation is still unfavorable, but Chief Ye has already gathered the literati of Jin, so a major battle is probably inevitable."
Zhang Dong stared intently at the figure in the light screen, and after a moment, he slowly spoke.
In the arena, Ye Ru and the others arrived at an open space. The number of people there now seemed to be more than before, at least seventy or eighty.
"how is it now?"
Sitting on the ground, Ye Ru said to Kong Ling.
"It seems that about fifty people have already been kicked out by them, while the Ghost Scholars still have one hundred and fifty people, who seem to be gathering and preparing to surround and annihilate us."
Kong Ling took a deep breath, looked at the scholars around him, and said in a deep voice.
"This is very bad for our situation. The enemy has a large number of people and is also amplified by dark forces. We have lost our talent and are just a group of scholars who are powerless. It seems that we have to think of a way, otherwise we will definitely lose."
Ye Ru knew that the enemy outnumbered them, and one person's strength was not enough to turn the tide. Only by gathering the strength of everyone could they completely reverse the situation.
"Brother Kong, Brother Ye, we've arrived."
At that moment, several whooshing sounds rang out, and then several dozen people appeared on the open ground.
They all possessed a righteous spirit, which Ye Ru could sense.
"Sorry we're late. We've already notified some other people who are on their way. These 'ghost scholars' were so fast that they kicked out dozens of fellow scholars as soon as they entered the venue."
Zheng Dong said apologetically, knowing that the number of people he brought was far from enough.
"It's alright, we can draw upon the power of nature here."
After a moment of contemplation, Ye Ru smiled, which piqued everyone's curiosity.
"What power?"
The crowd was puzzled and continued speaking.
"Spread the word and let them come to us. Then, with the help of the wolves and tigers here, we can pull off a 'tiger-swallowing-wolf' strategy. I think they'll love this great gift."
Looking at Ye Ru's cold smile, a chill ran down everyone's spine.
