Chapter 673: First battle against a demon beast, Huang Siyuan versus the Nine-Pattern Dragon (Subscr
After a while, a ray of sword light flew out from the main hall, went straight to a high mountain to the west of Fang City, and came to a cave shrouded in a little mist.
After the sword light disappeared, a man in white clothes, about thirty years old, fell from the air. Then with a flash of light in his hand, a cyan transmission note flew into the cave in front of him.
"Yuan Li, come in first!"
After a moment, a voice came out from the cave, and then the white mist surrounding the cave automatically dispersed to both sides, revealing the cave door hidden inside. Upon seeing this, Song Yuanli hurriedly raised his legs and walked in.
After entering the cave, when he saw Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan sitting in front of him, Song Yuanli quickly bowed and handed a red transmission note to Song Qingming.
"Seventh Uncle, Yuan Hao has just returned from Wuyunling, where he has seen the vanguard army of monsters heading south. It is estimated that they are less than 500 miles away from Jinshanfang now."
After taking the message and glancing at it lightly, Song Qingming immediately stood up.
"Go and inform all the foundation-building monks in Fang City to meet at the meeting hall in half an hour. In addition, ask Xuan Feng to bring a few people to help Yuan Hao and the others evacuate, in case something happens there."
After hearing Song Qingming's instructions, Song Yuanli hurriedly responded, then turned and left.
Half an hour later, in the Jinshanfang meeting hall, there were already more than forty foundation-building monks in different clothes standing in the main hall.
Among these people, except for the four Xiaoyao Sect monks who were guarding Jinshanfang, they were basically members of the Jiji family in Pingyang and Qinghe counties.
In addition to Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, the Song family also has five foundation-building elders, Song Yuanli, Song Yuanhao, Song Changlin, Song Xuanting, and Song Xuanqing, as well as nearly 200 Qi-refining monks from the clan. More than half of the family's strength has come. Arriving at "Jinshanfang".
A hundred years have passed, and many of the people who participated in the last monster turmoil are no longer among the crowd, and have replaced many new faces that Song Qingming is not very familiar with.
Over the past hundred years, many changes have taken place in Pingyang County. Since directly relying on the big tree of the Song family, the environment for cultivating immortals in Pingyang County has become much more stable than before, and many families cultivating immortals in the county have received considerable benefits. development of.
Now in Pingyang County, there is one more foundation-building family than a hundred years ago. There are already eight foundation-building immortal clans, but the most powerful one is the Cao family where Cao Rongxue belongs. There are five foundation-building monks in each family.
After glancing at all the foundation-building monks present, Song Qingming, who was sitting at the top of the hall, opened his mouth and said to everyone:
"Everyone must also know that the army of monsters has moved south, and the vanguard is not far away. It is estimated that it will arrive at our Jinshanfang in about two hours.
The sect has entrusted the defense task of Jinshanfang to me. I also hope that everyone here can work together with me to stop the army of monsters, prevent our human beings from being slaughtered, and help the sect overcome this difficulty.
In this battle, those who bravely kill the enemy will be rewarded heavily. If anyone dares to delay and ignore the opportunity to fight, the law enforcement team must also act according to the military laws of the battlefield. "
"I obey the order of my ancestor!" As soon as Song Qingming finished speaking, many foundation-building monks standing below quickly shouted in unison.
Compared with a hundred years ago, the power of the human monks in "Jinshanfang" during this monster turmoil is obviously much stronger. There are already nearly 2,000 monks from Pingyang and Qinghe counties who have rushed to the city. .
This time, because the monks guarding Fang City were relatively strong, the Song family did not recruit a large number of casual cultivators to go to "Jinshanfang" to help guard Fang City like last time.
The first group of monks gathered in "Jinshanfang" were basically elite monks sent by various families. Both in terms of combat effectiveness and battlefield quality, they were much stronger than the casual cultivators who came to participate in the war for the spirit stones. .
In addition, there are monks from Jiangling and Liuyang counties nearby who are on their way. In total, there are almost a thousand people. The overall number of monks guarding "Jinshanfang" is more than 30% more than a hundred years ago.
According to the news that Song Yuanhao came back from the frontline investigation, the vanguard army of monster beasts that came outside "Jinshanfang" this time contained less than 300 monster beasts, not counting many, and no trace of the third-level monster beasts was found among them.
In order to give those Qi Refining monks who had never participated in such a large-scale battle with monsters more opportunities to experience, Song Qingming did not personally participate in this battle, but only sent a dozen Foundation-building monks to lead the team to command this first battle. fighting.
More than two hours later, bursts of smoke and dust suddenly rose from the north side of "Jinshanfang", and then an army of hundreds of monsters appeared in front of everyone.
Although the many Qi Refining monks standing on the city wall preparing to go out to fight often went out to hunt monsters, it was basically the first time for them to see such a large-scale beast tide, and to see such a loud shout. , many people couldn't help but feel a little fear in their hearts.
They didn't have much time to adapt, and the army of monsters had already rushed to the front of Fangshi and touched the mountain protection formation of "Jinshanfang".
"The monsters have invaded our human territory and killed the blood of my compatriots. How can we, the monks, let them get their wish? Everyone, please follow me to kill them and drive these monsters out of our territory!"
After the mountain-protecting formation defeated the first wave of attacks by these monsters, Song Yuanli, who was standing in front of the city wall, shouted angrily and rushed to the formation first. With a single blow of his flying sword, he chopped into pieces the two low-level monsters in front of him. A few paragraphs.
The many monks who were encouraged to participate in the battle immediately rushed out of the formation with Song Yuanli upon seeing this, and took the initiative to kill the army of monsters outside Fang City. The loud shouts of killing instantly resounded throughout the battlefield.
The forward army of monsters that came for this attack only had 300 monsters, and the leading second-level monsters were only six.
However, the human monks of "Jinshanfang" sent a total of fourteen foundation-building monks and more than 700 Qi-refining monks. The number of monks participating in the battle was more than twice that of the monsters, so the outcome of the battle would naturally not be the same. What a surprise.
After more than an hour of fighting, after the monster beasts lost nearly half of their strength, the remaining monster beast army finally began to collapse, turning around and fleeing to the north under the leadership of several second-level monster beasts.
"The monsters retreated and we defeated them, hahaha..."
Seeing that the monster army had been defeated, the many human monks who were still on the city wall watching the battle immediately let out bursts of cheers.
The army of "Jinshanfang" monks who had already fought a bloody battle with the monsters on the battlefield below would not easily let go of the good opportunity to chase down the defeated monsters in front of them, and they all cheered up and rushed to catch up.
The crowd chased them dozens of miles away, then withdrew their troops and returned to "Jinshanfang" after being reminded by the law enforcement team, and began to count and harvest the materials from the monsters that had just been killed in the battle.
According to the post-war statistics from the law enforcement team, the "Jinshanfang" monks killed more than two hundred low-level monsters and four second-level monsters in this battle. When there are twenty monks in the Qi Refining Stage, it can be considered a great victory.
Song Qingming, who was sitting in the cave, nodded with great satisfaction after seeing the battle report handed over by Song Xuanting, who was in charge of the battlefield law enforcement team.
He also instructed the Fang City Law Enforcement Team to quickly tally up the meritorious deeds of the monks who performed meritorious service on the battlefield, so as to issue some rewards to those monks with outstanding merits as soon as possible to encourage other monks.
The great victory in the first battle also quickly inspired many Qi Refining Stage monks in "Jinshanfang", helping them quickly overcome the huge oppression in their hearts when facing the army of monsters.
Especially when they saw the monks who had been rewarded for their meritorious service in battle, the faces of everyone watching showed a bit of envy, and they were all expecting that they would be the next ones to receive awards.
However, just when many human monks in "Jinshanfang" were gearing up to show off their skills, the monsters that invaded Fang City for more than ten days in a row were scattered groups of dozens to less than a hundred monsters.
The strength of these monsters was generally not strong. They were immediately defeated by the elite monks sent by "Jinshanfang" not long after they approached Fangshi. They turned around and fled north.
During this period and before, the large-scale army of monsters never appeared again, which made many "Jinshanfang" monks who were preparing for a battle with the monsters couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It wasn't until one early morning more than half a month later that the roaring sound of an army of monster beasts was suddenly heard outside "Jinshanfang".
The monks who were guarding Fangshi on top of the city wall saw the smoke and dust suddenly rising from the north, covering the sky and the sun, and quickly sent a message to the foundation-building monks who were on duty in the Fangshi meeting hall.
Soon they learned the news that the main force of the monster army had arrived. Under the command of many foundation-building monks, many monks in "Jinshanfang" arrived near the city wall, preparing to resist the attack of the monster army.
Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan, two golden elixir monks, had also left the cave and came to the sky above the "Jinshanfang" mountain protection formation, observing the surging army of monsters in front of them.
"Looking at the size of this monster beast, it seems that there are only two or three thousand monster beasts. The number of monster beasts this time is not large. I just don't know how many monster kings are hidden inside?" Huang Siyuan glanced at the army of monster beasts in front of her. He spoke with a calm expression.
"Well! It seems that the situation on our side is better than I thought before. It is estimated that there will only be one or two demon kings at most. In this battle, we should not have any big problem in defending Jinshanfang."
Now more than two thousand monks have gathered in "Jinshanfang", and monks from Jiangling and Liuyang will arrive here soon. In terms of the number of monks, "Jinshanfang" is no less than the monsters in front of them. Army.
As long as there are not many demon kings in the opposite demon beast army, "Jinshanfang" will definitely be able to block this wave of demon beast army attack.
On the "Jinshanfang" side, while many monks were waiting nervously, the army of monster beasts from the north finally rushed to the front of the Fangshi Mountain Protection Formation with a loud rumbling sound.
"All Feiyun crossbows are ready and fired!"
When the ferocious monster army in front approached the Fangshi formation and was less than a hundred feet away, Song Yuanxue, who was in charge of commanding above the city wall, suddenly gave an order.
More than a dozen sharp arrows wrapped in golden aura flew out in an instant, directly penetrating dozens of low-level monsters rushing in front of them, and then shot out more than ten feet away before falling to the ground. They were then chased away from behind. The monsters that came were trampled directly into flesh.
Among the "Feiyun Crossbows" arranged on the top of the city wall, except for the four that were originally configured by "Jinshanfang", most of the others were brought out by Song Qingyu from the Zongmen's Shanggong Pavilion a few months ago.
These level two or above "Feiyun Crossbows" are very useful weapons for defending the city. They only need two Qi Refining Stage monks to control them, and they can exert half of the attack power of the Foundation Establishment monks, which can be used to deal with those low-level Qi Refining Stage monks. The level monster is very useful.
The "Feiyun Crossbow" had just launched its attack here, and the stronger second-level monsters in the monster army immediately rushed out of the beast group, flew into the air and began to attack the mountain guarding formation in front of them.
There was a swarm of powerful high-level spells ahead, coming directly towards Fang City. Many of the "Jinshanfang" Qi Refining monks with lower cultivation levels standing near the city wall saw this for the first time. The large-scale attack that covered the sky and the sun could not help but be frightened and took half a step back.
Even the timid monks responsible for controlling the "Feiyun Crossbow" stood there in shock, forgetting to control the "Feiyun Crossbow" in front of them to fight the enemy.
"Why panic? There is a mountain-protecting formation. Even if the third-level demon king attacks, the formation will not be broken for a while. Everyone has stood up for me and performed their duties. If anyone dares to retreat, the law enforcement team will immediately get it to me. Down!"
Seeing a commotion coming from the front, Song Xuanting, who was in charge of leading the city's law enforcement team, immediately stepped into the air with his flying sword and shouted angrily at the many monks in front of him before stabilizing the situation at the scene.
The fact is as Song Xuanting said, those high-level spells that hit the sky seemed to be very fierce, but after they landed on the mountain-protecting formation in front of everyone, they were immediately absorbed and fragmented by the formation, but the formation appeared. Ripples.
Seeing that all the attacks in front of them were resisted by the Fangshi Mountain Protection Formation, the many "Jinshanfang" monks on the city wall suddenly felt more at ease, and their faces no longer looked nervous as before.
The "Thick Earth Golden Light Formation" that guards "Jinshanfang" was originally just a second-level high-grade mountain-protecting formation.
Before Song Qingming went to the "East Phoenix Kingdom" to cultivate immortality, in order to improve the security of his family's territory, he spent some time and materials to make it a third-level inferior. The power of this formation is no longer comparable to that of a hundred years ago.
However, although the power of the Fangshi Mountain Protection Formation has been greatly enhanced, the spiritual energy of "Jinshanfang" is still only the second-level top grade. If the formation is forced to operate at the third level or above, the spiritual energy is slightly insufficient, and "Jinshanfang" is still needed. I took out a lot of extra spiritual stones to fill it up.
Not long after the mountain-protecting formation at "Jinshanfang" was activated, the low-level monsters in front had already rushed to the front of the mountain-protecting formation. Violent crashes were heard instantly in front of the "Thick Earth Golden Light Array".
Seeing the ripples coming from all directions of the "Thick Earth Golden Light Array", the many "Jinshanfang" monks staying in the array were extremely nervous at this moment, fearing that this mountain-protecting array could not withstand the thousands of ferocious monsters. attack.
However, the "thick earth golden light array" in front of everyone is also very powerful. Facing the simultaneous attacks of so many monsters, although it keeps shaking, the light on the array is still very bright and has not been affected. Signs of the monster breaking appear.
Seeing that this formation had withstood such an impact from the monster army, it was still as stable as Mount Tai. The army of monks in the city felt completely relieved and began to try to use spells and talismans to attack those who were attacking from a distance through the magic formation. The monsters attacking the formation.
Seeing that the army of monsters in front was blocked and had been unable to break through the mountain guarding formation in Fangshi, the Demon King, who had been hiding behind to control these low-level monsters, became a little unable to sit still.
Following a ferocious roar, a green dragon with a length of dozens of feet suddenly flew out from the army of monsters and headed straight for the Jinshanfang Mountain Protection Formation.
"No, it's the Jindan Demon King who's here!"
As soon as the green dragon appeared, many "Jinshanfang" monks standing in the city immediately recognized it as a Jindan Demon King and couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamations.
"Husband, judging from the appearance of this dragon, it should be the demon king of the sect's old rival, the nine-patterned dragon. How about you let me go and meet it first?"
Seeing that the Nine-Patterned Jiao in front had already rushed over, Huang Siyuan also had a fighting spirit in her eyes. She took the initiative to take out the magic weapon on her body and wanted to go forward to fight with it.
"Yes, this demon is good at illusions and confuses the opponent's mind. You have to be careful with this move later." Seeing that Huang Siyuan wanted to go up and fight the Nine-Pattern Jiao first, Song Qingming nodded and did not stop her, but gave Huang Siyuan a careful warning.
"Yeah! I know how to deal with it." After Huang Siyuan nodded in response, the aura on her body turned into a red escaping light and flew out of the Fangshi Mountain Protection Formation.
The "Nine Pattern Jiao", which was approaching the mountain-protecting formation, opened its bloody mouth and spit out several powerful transparent water blades. A golden cauldron immediately appeared in front of it, and a burst of red light immediately gathered. Guang easily blocked the attack of "Nine Patterns Jiao".
"If you want to break through the formation, you'd better pass me first!" Before the Nine-Patterned Jiao could find the owner of the golden cauldron, Huang Siyuan, dressed in white, had already appeared opposite it.
After seeing Huang Siyuan's figure, the "Nine Pattern Jiao" became a little angry and immediately started to attack her with its huge body.
Huang Siyuan had also summoned her natal magic weapon "Purple Gold Seal" to fight against the enemy, and a fierce golden elixir battle broke out over the battlefield.
In a golden elixir level battle, just the aftermath of the battle is enough to instantly kill ordinary low-level monsters. After a few unlucky monsters near the battlefield were affected and died, the surrounding monsters immediately vacated the battlefield for them.
"The strength of the monster beast has been weakened. It's time for me to take action. Everyone, follow me and fight out to help our ancestors defeat the enemy!"
Huang Siyuan had just fought against the "Nine Pattern Jiao". Song Yuanli and others, who were standing in the mountain guarding formation, saw that there were many second-level monsters nearby and surrounded Huang Siyuan, and hurriedly shouted and rushed out. The mountain-protecting formation took the initiative to kill the monster army.
When the monsters that were constantly attacking the formation saw the human cultivators rushing out, they immediately changed their targets and started a big melee with the "Jinshanfang" cultivator army.
The Jindan cultivators in the sky were fighting with sparks flying everywhere, and the human cultivators and monster army in the foundation building and Qi refining stages below were also using various spells flying everywhere.
The sound of magic tools colliding and screaming was endless. The outside of Jinshanfang became a Shura battlefield for a while. After only half an hour, the ground was already full of corpses of various monsters and human cultivators.
"Jiuwen Jiao" is a demon king who has been enlightened for thousands of years. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of Jindan. His strength is still much higher than Huang Siyuan, who is at the second level of Jindan.
However, among the many Jindan demon kings, this demon has a relatively average attack ability except for its outstanding illusion. When Song Qingming had just formed a pill and was only at the first level of Jindan, he held it back for a long time in the battle of "Purple Star Square".
Huang Siyuan is now much stronger than Song Qingming at that time in terms of both cultivation and magic weapons. Although she failed to gain the upper hand in the battle with "Nine-Pattern Flood Dragon", she did not let the demon king take advantage of her too much.
The two sides fought back and forth for nearly two hundred rounds. Although the scene was very intense, they still could not produce a result.
Seeing that he still could not defeat his opponent after fighting for such a long time, "Nine-Pattern Flood Dragon" also started to use his own methods.
Taking advantage of the gap when Huang Siyuan was dealing with his magic attack, "Nine-Pattern Flood Dragon" suddenly spit out a transparent white mist from its mouth, and soon the white mist moved forward with the wind and came directly to Huang Siyuan not far away.
Seeing the thicker and thicker white fog around her, gradually blocking her vision, Huang Siyuan immediately realized that the other party was performing the illusion she was good at.
Seeing this, Huang Siyuan snorted coldly, and had already prepared to take out a third-level green talisman, which turned into a light shield to protect herself.
Then she controlled the golden cauldron beside her and blew a gust of wind in front of her, blowing away the thick white fog in front of her.
A moment later, Huang Siyuan's eyes lit up, and a man in green suddenly appeared in front of her with a smile.
"Husband, why are you here?"
Seeing Song Qingming in front of her, Huang Siyuan's face suddenly changed, revealing a bit of doubt.
"Haha! Madam, why don't you retreat first, let me deal with this monster!"
After being attracted by Song Qingming's chuckle in the distance, Huang Siyuan's consciousness scattered around suddenly felt several murderous intentions coming from her side, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid the attack.
However, just as she made a move, the "Song Qingming" in front of her suddenly flashed in front of her, and threw a heavy punch with a cold face, knocking Huang Siyuan, who was caught off guard, out with one punch.
Huang Siyuan, who was beaten back by a punch, realized that the "Song Qingming" just now was an illusion of the other party, and her face was also a little more angry.
Although Song Qingming had reminded her in advance, Huang Siyuan still underestimated the opponent's illusion.
"Siyuan! Find a way to lure it to the east, and we will fight it together." (End of this chapter)
