Chapter 472 First Confrontation
Under the comfort and encouragement of Song Qingming and others, many foundation-building monks present gradually gained a little more confidence. Although this monster turmoil is extremely dangerous for the human race, it is also accompanied by many people who can quickly earn spiritual stones. Opportunity.
In the past, every time after the monster turmoil, there would be many people on the monk side who could earn a lot of cultivation resources. Some would use these cultivation resources to break through the realm and increase their strength greatly, and some would soon soar into the sky and successfully build foundations. The same is true in these crises. Full of opportunities.
Including the monks from Qinghe County who have come to support here, there are now almost more than 1,500 monks in Jinshanfang. The number of monks has even exceeded the battle when the human monks counterattacked Jinshanfang. However, the foundation-building monks are still there. It was relatively small, only about twenty people.
Among these monks, the major foundation-building families in Pingyang County account for most of them. They have a total of eleven foundation-building monks plus 800 Qi-refining monks. There are also six foundation-building monks and more than 200 Qi-refining monks in the Xiaoyao Sect. Qi period disciples were sent to Jinshanfang to assist in the defense.
A total of six foundation-building monks came to Qinghe County. In addition to Song Yuanfang, who had just established the foundation, Song Qingyu, Song Yuanli, and Huang Siyuan have all come to Jinshanfang. Huang Shengyue and Huang Mengde have arrived from the Huang family. , Lu Xingde is still the only one in the Lu family, and the three families of Song, Huang, and Lu brought over more than 400 monks in the Qi Refining Stage.
The rest are the casual cultivators recruited by Jinshanfang in the past few years. In addition to the two foundation-building casual cultivators, Jinshanfang also recruited nearly 300 Qi-refining period casual cultivators. Although this force seems weaker, it is It was also a force that Song Qingming and the others had spent several years and finally gathered.
In order to boost the morale of the monks, Song Qingming not only comforted them with words, but also took out some spiritual objects and distributed them to all the monks who were about to join the battle.
Although they are just some low-level spiritual talismans and elixirs of low value, the total expenditure of so many monks is also a large sum of money. Of course, Song Qingming himself is not willing to spend such spiritual stones. These expenses are calculated in the entire Jinshan Mountain. In the treasury of the square.
In order to guard against the unrest of monsters, Song Qingming went to Jinshanfang early to take charge. In the past few years, the Xiaoyao Sect directly handed over all the rights to manage Jinshanfang to Song Qingming, including some spiritual objects and nearly 10,000 gold coins left in the central government treasury of the city. None of the spiritual stones were transported away.
After Song Qingming arrived at Jinshanfang, all the expenses for recruiting these casual cultivators in the past few years were spent here. Although the seven major foundation-building families in Pingyang County, the treasury of Jinshanfang, also had some shares, they did not dare to do it for these Lingshi, open your mouth to offend Song Qingming, the ancestor of the Golden Pill.
Two days later, just as the Jinshanfang monks were gearing up to fight the monster, the vanguard of the monster's side finally arrived outside Jinshanfang.
Among the hundreds of monsters that arrived first, there were not many high-level monsters. Only the three leading monsters were second-level monsters, and the others were a bunch of first-level monsters mixed together. There were about two or three. Hundreds.
Seeing that among the first batch of demon beasts from outside Fang City, there were only three second-level demon beasts. Before the army of demon beasts could approach Fang City's mountain protection formation, Cao Rongxue and Song Qingyu, who had been preparing for a long time, suddenly led four The foundation-building monks and more than 500 Qi-refining monks rushed out of the city from both sides and attacked the monster army.
In the face of the attack of monsters, the reason why Jinshanfang chose to take the initiative was to save some spiritual stones for operating the mountain protection formation. Secondly, it was also because a frontal attack to repel the monsters could greatly increase the morale of the human race. Let everyone know that these armies of monster beasts that look majestic and charge through are actually not so scary.
Unlike Song Qingming and other high-level monks, almost all the monks in the Qi Refining Stage who participated in the battle have never seen such a large formation of hundreds of monks and monsters fighting. Faced with such a large army rushing towards them, The army of monsters and beasts, these young monks who have never seen much of the world, will easily collapse mentally and retreat.
However, in this situation, as long as you have experienced a little battle training, you can basically get used to such a big scene. The same was true for Song Qingming when he participated in the monster turmoil. After experiencing the battle at Huoyun Mountain, he soon got used to it. This wave of vanguard troops of hundreds of monsters was sent to the human side to train their best opponents.
Therefore, in order to fight this first battle successfully, Song Qingming specially sent a combat force that was much stronger than the vanguard army of monster beasts in front of him. Not only did the number of monks go into battle twice as many as monster beasts, but he also sent six foundation-building monks at once, including There are also late-stage foundation-building powerhouses like Cao Rongxue and Song Qingyu. From the perspective of strength alone, the human monks already have an overwhelming advantage over these monsters.
In addition to Song Qingyu and others who have already fought their way out of Fang City, Song Yuanli has also brought hundreds of law enforcement monks to the outside of Jinshanfang.
These people did not directly participate in the attack on the monsters. They just blocked the front of Fangshi and stared intently at the fierce battle ahead.
These law enforcement monks are elite monks selected by Song Yuanli in the past two years from disciples of the Song family and Xiaoyao Sect, as well as several major foundation-building families in Pingyang County. They are all people who have been fighting monsters for many years and have rich combat experience.
In addition to supervising the battlefield to stop those monks who dare to retreat from the battle, the law enforcement monks also need to supervise the performance of each monk on the battlefield in this battle, which will be used to evaluate the merits and demerits of each monk participating in the battle after the war, and also provide emergency treatment. Some of the injured monks who retreated from the battlefield tried to reduce the number of casualties among our own monks after the war.
Song Qingyu and Cao Rongxue were masters in the late stage of foundation building. They quickly faced off against the two second-level monsters rushing at the front of the monster army. These two monsters were only second-level low-grade monsters. The two late-stage foundation-building monks didn't even fight for a few rounds, but they quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Cao Rongxue had a higher level of cultivation, but she was still more skilled after all. After dealing with her opponent for a few rounds, she quickly found an opportunity to cast a spell with both hands, releasing a fast-growing green vine to trap the opponent firmly.
Then Cao Rongxue quickly raised the high-grade flying sword in his hand and chopped off the opponent's huge head from the air to the ground with one strike.
Song Qingyu faced a second-level low-grade pig demon. Although she was restrained by the opponent due to the attributes of her skills and was slightly slower than Cao Rongxue, she did not let go of her opponent.
After controlling the blue water clock in front of him to block the demon beast's counterattack before it died, the two blue flying swords in Song Qingyu's hands quickly penetrated the opponent's fatal parts, ending the duel.
After Song Qingming formed the elixir, the second-level magic weapons he had on him were no longer of much use to him now. They basically gave them to other foundation-building monks of the Song family. Among them, the best-quality magic weapon he had was Bi Shui. The bell fell into the hands of Song Qingyu.
The Bishui Clock is a magical weapon with water attributes, and it is very suitable for Song Qingyu's practice. If it is given to her, the power it can exert will be even greater.
As for the two blue flying swords in Song Qingyu's hands, they are also a pair of second-grade high-grade water-attribute male and female swords. Song Qingming happened to see this magical weapon in Xiaoyao Sect's Shanggong Pavilion a few years ago. At that time, he felt that this object was very special. It was suitable for Song Qingyu's use, so he used the good work in his hand to replace it and gave it to Song Qingyu.
Song Qingyu, who has these two high-grade magic weapons in her hands, although her cultivation is only at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, her fighting ability is now as good as that of veteran ninth-level Foundation Establishment monks like Cao Rongxue.
The last second-level mid-level fire bull was besieged by two foundation-building monks from Jinshanfang. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly left the low-level monsters below and fled north alone.
Because Song Qingming issued a strict order before the war and was not allowed to pursue these high-level monsters without permission, the two foundation-building monks chased them for several miles. Seeing that they could not stop each other, they could only retreat empty-handed with regrets on their faces.
The leading second-level monsters above were dying and running away, and soon the first-level monsters below were in chaos. Originally, the Jinshanfang monks had more people, and there were also foundation-building monks holding down the formation. Having gained the upper hand, now without the threat of the second-level monsters, these low-level monsters quickly turned around and began to flee north.
Seeing that the monsters' side had begun to gradually collapse, the Jinshanfang monks immediately boosted their morale and began to chase the monsters that wanted to escape. They chased them for more than ten miles before stopping the pursuit under the orders of the foundation-building monks above.
After a battle, the entire battlefield was filled with the smell of blood. After the battle, looking around at the corpses of monsters and beasts all over the ground, the monks who participated in the battle and survived were extremely excited.
Song Qingming, who stood above the gate of Fang City and watched the entire battle, was very satisfied with the performance of the Jinshanfang monks in this battle.
Except for those corpses of monsters far away from the battlefield, which belong to those who killed them, Song Yuanli has led the monks of the law enforcement team to start processing the monster materials on the main battlefield in front of Jinshanfang.
After the news of the victory in the first battle came back, it quickly boosted the morale of all the monks in Jinshanfang. Seeing the law enforcement team moving into the piles of monster materials in the market, those monks who had not yet participated in the war began to feel a sense of loss in their hearts. , I just regret that I was not selected to participate in this battle.
However, as a result of the battle just now, although the human monks of Jinshanfang won a great victory, this kind of battle between humans and monsters was also very cruel.
Although this battle resulted in the slaying of nearly a hundred demonic beasts, including two second-level demonic beasts, more than thirty monks at Jinshanfang were also accidentally injured in the battle. There are still seven or eight unfortunate people who left their lives on the battlefield just now.
Some people are busy rejoicing and receiving the military achievements they have just made, while there are also people who are crying and mourning their relatives who have just passed away. The war in the world of immortality is so cruel.
Song Qingming and those high-level monks above the foundation level knew very well that what was happening before them was just the beginning. When the real army of monsters arrived, the battle at Jinshanfang would be even more brutal than now.
