Chapter 676 Killing two demons and resolving the crisis (Subscribe)
Among them, Song Qingming, Chen Xuanxin, Li Wutong, Jin Ziyuan, and Chu Fengping, five powerful Jindan cultivators, were responsible for blocking the "Golden Tiger Demon King" and the other three Jindan mid-stage demon kings who came to reinforce.
Bai Yuxian, Huang Siyuan, Fang Baixuan, and Xu Ziyan were concentrating on besieging the two weakest demon kings, "White Bull" and "Green Python".
Not long after the battle started, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" had already sent a message to inform the many demon kings besieging the west and north sides of the market formation.
However, it was only more than ten miles away, and it would take some time for the demon kings in the other two locations to receive the message and rush here.
Now, there was about half a quarter of an hour left for the Xiaoyao Sect.
If during this period, they could not kill the "White Bull Demon King" and "Green Python Demon King" who had been surrounded, and wait for the demon kings in other locations to rush to the battlefield to support, the Xiaoyao Sect would have to return empty-handed like the previous times and withdraw to the mountain protection formation.
Suddenly, they were besieged by four Jindan cultivators from Xiaoyao Sect, including Bai Yuxian, a top Jindan master. The "White Bull Demon King" and "Green Python Demon King" immediately felt tremendous pressure.
Seeing that the "Golden Tiger Demon King" and other four companions had been blocked by Song Qingming and others and could not come to help, many low-level monsters below were also firmly entangled by the cultivators who rushed out of "Guiyunfang".
The two demon kings, who had been beaten back repeatedly and surrounded by Huang Siyuan and others and could not escape, could only helplessly roar to the "Golden Tiger Demon King" for help.
Although Song Qingming's cultivation was still at the sixth level of Jindan, after practicing the "Green Jade Refining Treasure Jue", he was holding several third-level top-grade magic weapons, and his fighting strength was no weaker than that of ordinary Jindan late-stage cultivators.
After more than a year of retreat, Chen Xuanxin broke through. Not long ago, he came out of retreat and rushed to "Guiyunfang". His cultivation had also successfully broken through to the seventh level of Jindan.
Although he had just broken through the late Jindan stage not long ago, Chen Xuanxin, who practiced sword cultivation, was now as powerful as an eighth-level Jindan cultivator.
Although the "Golden Tiger Demon King" was a great demon king at the peak of the Jindan stage, and his magical powers were very powerful, he was still unable to break through the blockade of Song Qingming and Chen Xuanxin, two late-stage Jindan cultivators.
Knowing that the "White Bull Demon King" and the "Green Python Demon King" were in a bad situation, it could only send voice transmissions during the battle, urging the demon kings in the other two directions to come to support quickly.
The demon kings who have cultivated to the Jindan level have extremely strong bodies. Unless they are careless or attacked by surprise, very few Jindan cultivators can quickly break through the opponent's defense and kill a demon king of the same level in a head-on battle.
However, Bai Yuxian's cultivation has reached the peak of the Jindan stage after all, and the gap in strength between him and the "White Bull Demon King" who is only in the early Jindan stage is still very large.
With Huang Siyuan's assistance, the "White Bull Demon King" relied on his thick skin and strong flesh to desperately use his own inner elixir and his powerful body to resist the attacks of Bai Yuxian and Huang Siyuan.
However, because of the huge gap in strength, he was killed by Bai Yuxian on the battlefield before the reinforcements of the monsters arrived.
After taking the natal golden elixir in the body of the "White Bull Demon King", Bai Yuxian and Huang Siyuan did not bother to collect other materials from the body of the "White Bull Demon King", and immediately turned around to join the battle to besiege the "Green Python Demon King".
The "Green Python Demon King" practiced a poisonous magical power, and his strength was much stronger than the "White Bull Demon King". At the beginning, he faced the attacks of Xu Ziyan and Fang Baixuan, two golden elixir cultivators, alone, and fought back and forth without losing the upper hand.
But after Bai Yuxian and Huang Siyuan joined the battle, the "Green Python Demon King" suddenly faced the siege of four people and could not resist it immediately.
Fortunately, Bai Yuxian and the others had just joined the battle to besiege it. Not far from the battlefield, there were bursts of long howls coming from the horizon. Three beams of light were already approaching the battlefield at a rapid speed. They were the several demon kings with faster escape speeds who had learned the news and rushed here first.
After seeing the "White Bull Demon King" being killed by Bai Yuxian, the "Green Python Demon King" who was besieged by everyone was already somewhat desperate.
At this time, seeing the reinforcements coming soon, he suddenly felt relieved and relieved. He spit out his own life inner pill and tried his best to release venom to resist the siege of everyone, trying to delay time and wait for rescue.
Facing the large amount of venom spit out by the "Green Python Demon King", Huang Siyuan and others had a low level of cultivation and could not attack the opponent at close range. Only Bai Yuxian could hold up the shield to resist the venom while using means to continue to attack the "Green Python Demon King".
However, at this time, Bai Yuxian needed to spend a lot of energy to resist the venom of the "Green Python Demon King", and for a while he could not quickly break through the mana shield released by the life inner pill of the "Green Python Demon King".
Just when the "Green Python Demon King" had breathed a sigh of relief, he did not expect that the three demon kings who came to help had just approached the battlefield. Several powerful golden crossbow arrows suddenly flew out from the top of the city wall and headed straight for the demon kings who were rushing at full speed.
These crossbow arrows were fired by four level 3 "Flying Cloud Crossbows" that had been configured in "Guiyunfang" long ago. The power was close to 70% to 80% of the strength of a Jindan cultivator, equivalent to the full force of a fake Dan cultivator.
Such an attack would not cause too much damage to these demon kings in the middle and late stages of the Jindan, but it would be a bit uncomfortable to be hit by it.
Seeing this, the demon kings had to stop their steps and cast spells to resist these fast-attacked golden arrows.
After they solved the immediate trouble and started on their way again, all the venom stored in the "Green Python Demon King"'s body had been used up in just such a delay.
At this moment, the "Green Python Demon King" also lost the last means of resisting everyone's attack, and soon fell into the siege of four Xiaoyao Sect Jindan monks again.
Even though the "Blue Python Demon King" struggled to control its inner elixir to resist, it still could not escape the fate of being beheaded by Bai Yuxian's sword, and died in the hands of Xiaoyao Sect before reinforcements arrived.
After taking away the demon king's inner elixir, Bai Yuxian saw that the opponent's reinforcements had arrived. Bai Yuxian immediately sent a retreat signal on the battlefield, and led everyone to start fighting and retreating, and retreated into the mountain-protecting formation.
This time they go out to attack the monster army. Before the war, the sect has already warned them. No matter they are the golden elixir elders above, or the low-level monks in the foundation building and Qi refining stage below, no one should be fond of fighting or greedy for the battlefield. Monster material on
As soon as they receive the order to retreat, all the monks participating in the battle must retreat to the nearby Fangshi formation as quickly as possible.
Although three golden elixir demon kings with higher cultivation levels came to help, the members of Xiaoyao Sect who successfully killed the two demon kings "Green Python" and "White Bull" at this moment were not inferior to the number of golden elixir monks. On the other side, no one was left behind by the "Golden Tiger Demon King".
After seeing Song Qingming and others successfully escaping back to the Fangshi Formation, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" standing outside the mountain-protecting formation was also very angry. He led an army of monsters to attack the Fangshi Formation and wanted to Force Song Qingming and others out.
However, with the enemy outnumbered, everyone in the Xiaoyao Sect would naturally not go out and fight these demon kings as the "Golden Tiger Demon King" wished.
Just let the low-level monks who control the "Flying Cloud Crossbow" and "Aura Cannon" above the city wall take advantage of the monster beasts to attack the monster beasts attacking Fangshi's formation at close range, and prevent the monster beast army outside from attacking the city.
After all, the mountain-protecting formation of "Guiyunfang" has reached the third level. Without the action of the Yuanying monks, it would be difficult to break through the Fangshi formation in a short time just relying on those Jindan Demon Kings.
After frantically attacking outside the formation for several hours, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" not only failed to break through the defense of Fangshi Mountain Protection Formation, but was attacked by the "Feiyun Crossbow" and "Aura Cannon" controlled by the monks of the Xiaoyao Sect. , nearly two hundred low-level monsters were lost.
In the end, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" failed to force Song Qingming and others out. He had no choice but to retreat first and stopped attacking Fangshi. He joined forces with other demon kings and surrounded "Guiyunfang" in the distance. .
Seeing that the demon king's army slowly began to retreat, Bai Yuxian and others, who were still a little worried, immediately relaxed their tense nerves.
Just when everyone was about to go to the north of Fang City to watch the battle between Supreme Elder Li Mufeng and the "Black Dragon Demon Emperor", a green escaping light fell from the sky and passed through the mountain guarding formation, landing in front of everyone.
"Meet Master Li!"
Seeing Li Mufeng safe and sound in front of them, Song Qingming and others, who were a little worried about his safety, immediately expressed joy and bowed respectfully to Li Mufeng.
Li Mufeng, who had just finished a big battle, still looked a little tired at this moment.
After glancing at everyone present, he saw that Bai Yuxian and others had returned safely without any accidents. Li Mufeng also had a look of relief on his face and nodded towards everyone.
"I still had a draw with the Black Dragon Demon Emperor. How are you all doing? Can you gain anything from this battle?"
Hearing this, Bai Yuxian immediately took out two palm-sized demon king inner elixirs with bright light from his body and placed them in front of Li Mufeng.
"Living up to Uncle Li's great trust, we successfully killed the opponent's two demon kings in this battle. Now the army of demon beasts in the east has withdrawn and stopped attacking the Fangshi formation."
"Oh! This is an excellent thing. You all have done well. This way, we have a great hope of holding Guiyunfang. As long as we persist until the reinforcements from Pei State arrive, we will be very sure that we can force them to retreat. The army of monsters has ended this turmoil.
This is not the place to talk. Let’s talk slowly when we get back! "
Seeing the two demon king inner elixirs that had just been taken out from Bai Yuxian's hand, Li Mufeng's face showed a rare hint of joy, and he quickly led everyone back to the Fang City Council Hall.
Just after the battle, Song Qingming and others took the initiative to attack unexpectedly. Not only did they kill two of the opponent's demon kings, many monks below also killed thousands of low-level demons in conjunction with the "Flying Cloud Crossbow" and "Aura Cannon" on the city wall. The beast has severely damaged the army of monsters in the east.
Although Xiaoyao Sect's side was also involved in this battle and paid a lot of spiritual stones and the death of more than 200 monks.
However, this battle successfully repelled the uninterrupted siege of Fang City by the army of monsters, and temporarily relieved the crisis of the "Guiyunfang" mountain protection formation being breached by the opponent. It was already considered a strategic victory for Xiaoyao Sect. Big win.
After this battle, there are still sixteen demon kings left on the demon beast side. On paper, their strength is far superior to that of Xiaoyao Sect. However, they want to capture "Guiyunfang" guarded by nine golden elixir monks. It's not as easy as before.
Although Song Qingming and others do not have enough strength to repel the attack of the monster army, with the "Guiyunfang" mountain protection formation at their back, they definitely have the strength to defend the city of "Guiyunfang".
As long as the most important stronghold in the north of the Wei Kingdom is firmly guarded, the monster army will not dare to easily cross here and go south to the Wei Kingdom. Otherwise, once their retreat is cut off, they will repeat the mistakes they made a hundred years ago.
This time, the siege of the monster army was temporarily repelled, which was the first major victory that "Guiyunfang" had achieved since it was besieged by the monster army.
Since the monster riot, "Guiyunfang" has been in danger for more than a month, and the morale of the Xiaoyao Sect monks guarding this place is also somewhat low.
In order to boost the morale of many monks in "Guiyunfang", Li Mufeng took the opportunity of this great victory and asked Xu Ziyan, the general affairs elder, to take out some reserve materials, hold a celebration banquet in the market, and reward many spiritual objects to those monks who have made contributions in this battle.
Just as the Xiaoyao Sect was celebrating this victory in the market, on a high mountain north of "Guiyunfang" where tens of thousands of monsters gathered, more than a dozen Jindan demon kings were looking at the "Molong Demon King" sitting at the top with bitter faces.
This time, Song Qingming and others suddenly attacked and lost two demon kings and thousands of low-level demon beasts at once. The "Black Dragon Demon King" was obviously very dissatisfied with the result of the previous battle and the performance of the demon kings below.
After glancing at the many demon kings below who were still trembling with fear, the "Black Dragon Demon King" turned around and asked the "Golden Tiger Demon King" beside him:
"Have you found out where the two people who came to support Xiaoyao Sect this time came from?"
"Reporting to the ancestor, the one who stopped me with Chen Xuanxin yesterday was Song Qingming from the Song family in Qinghe County. The other woman looked like she had just formed a golden elixir. She should be a golden elixir cultivator who succeeded in forming a golden elixir in Xiaoyao Sect in recent years, and she is not an outsider."
Hearing the inquiry of the "Black Dragon Demon King", the "Golden Tiger Demon King" hurried forward and carefully answered.
Although the "Golden Tiger Demon King" has been following the "Black Dragon Demon King" for nearly a thousand years, he is already considered to be his absolute confidant.
However, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" has always been a little afraid of the strange temper of his ancestor. This time, the demon beast army he led was defeated, and he felt like a thorn in his back, fearing that the "Black Dragon Demon King" in front would blame him.
"Song Qingming! Didn't you say last time that this person had disappeared for a long time? How come he suddenly popped up again? Logically, the people of the Song family should be fully guarding Jinshanfang at this moment. How did this person come here so quickly? Why didn't we receive any news in advance?
Is there something wrong with the Nine-Pattern Dragon?" Hearing the name Song Qingming, the "Black Dragon Demon King" asked again with a calm face, holding his chin.
Upon hearing this, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" nodded and replied, "Ancestor, I have confirmed with several Taoist friends who have fought with him, and it is this person.
According to the information obtained before, Song Qingming's cultivation was originally similar to Yunhe and the others, but this time I fought with him and found that this person's magical powers were quite strange, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core. Fellow Taoist Jiuwen should not be his opponent.
Song Qingming suddenly appeared here, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the army attacking Jinshanfang may be a little disadvantageous." After the "Golden Tiger Demon King" finished speaking, his eyes carefully glanced at the "Black Dragon Demon King" who was looking at it.
"Hmph! Let it go to Jinshanfang to delay the people of the Song family. Now that Song Qingming has come here, it didn't even notice this. It's really a waste."
The "Golden Tiger Demon King" who had just raised his eyes heard the "Black Dragon Demon King" scolding, and hurriedly lowered his head again and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Ancestor! This time Song Qingming and the other two came to help, and we lost fellow Daoists Bai Niu and Qing Mang. Now it may be difficult to attack Guiyunfang.
I think it is better to trap them first, and then send troops south to harass the human territory. Maybe we can force them out to fight with us."
Seeing that the "Golden Tiger Demon King" standing in front was scolded, the "White Dragon Demon King" on the side suddenly took the opportunity to speak out his thoughts.
After hearing the proposal of the "White Dragon Demon King", the "Black Dragon Demon King" looked at it calmly, shook his head and said:
"This time I led you south to take down the sacred mountain of Guiyunfang in one fell swoop, not to take advantage of the human territory just for a small fight like you did before.
We still have an absolute advantage now. At this time, dividing the troops will undoubtedly give them a chance to breathe. If we can't conquer Guiyunfang within half a year, once Xiaoyao Sect waits for reinforcements from other places, we may be caught in a situation of being attacked from both sides.
Don't treat the people of Xiaoyao Sect as fools, thinking that you can force them out by killing some mortals casually. If these human cultivators are so easy to fool, you wouldn't have failed to conquer Weiguo for thousands of years.
It's only been a hundred years since you divided your troops to the south last time and ended up in a complete defeat. How come you have forgotten it so quickly?"
Seeing that the "Black Dragon Demon King" mentioned the attack on "Guiyunfang" a hundred years ago, the "White Dragon Demon King" immediately lowered his head.
Back then, it gained the trust of the "Golden Feather Demon King" and confidently led tens of thousands of demon beasts on the Golden Feather Mountain to attack "Guiyunfang" in the south. However, it took more than half a year and still failed to capture the place.
Finally, the "White Dragon Demon King" had no choice but to split his troops and attack Gaoyun County of Weiguo in the south, trying to force Xiaoyao Sect to take the initiative to walk out of "Guiyunfang" and fight with them.
However, although the "White Dragon Demon King"'s trick of inviting the enemy into the trap was a bit vicious, Xiaoyao Sect did not fall for the monsters.
Even though Gaoyun County lost millions of mortals in the subsequent monster invasion, the Xiaoyao Sect monks guarding "Guiyunfang" did not choose to rashly walk out of the market to fight the monster army.
In the end, its move of dividing its troops to the south gave Xiaoyao Sect the opportunity to gather its strength and defeat them one by one.
Although the "Golden Feather Demon King" did not blame him too much after retreating to Jinyu Mountain last time, the "White Dragon Demon King" was still upset about the failure to break through "Guiyunfang" last time, so he took the initiative to mention his unsuccessful strategy of dividing troops to the "Black Dragon Demon King".
In the eyes of the "White Dragon Demon King", the reason why the division of troops failed that year was because the strength of the monsters was still a little insufficient at that time.
Now that the "Black Dragon Demon King" is personally fighting, and there are so many demon kings present, as long as they can break through Gaoyun County in one fell swoop and reach Yangshan County, the core hinterland of Xiaoyao Sect, Xiaoyao Sect will definitely choose to divide its troops for rescue, so that they want to capture "Guiyunfang" much easier than now.
However, the "Black Dragon Demon King", who has a weird temper, obviously doesn't like his more complicated strategy. He still wants to defeat Xiaoyao Sect directly from the front to achieve his goal of conquering the entire Wei Kingdom in the future.
After rejecting the proposal of the White Dragon Monster King, the "Black Dragon Monster King" turned around and told the many monster kings present: "Black Ape, send someone to Jinshanfang first to see what's going on with the Nine-Pattern Dragon.
Others should restrain their monsters and avoid any trouble after returning. We should stop fighting and rest for two days before continuing to attack Guiyunfang. We can't give them too much breathing space at this time.
Don't worry, Xiaoyao Sect is not the only one that can ask for reinforcements. This time I have made an agreement with the Red Cloud Monster King that after it conquers the northern part of Zheng State, Red Cloud Mountain will immediately send people to support us.
As long as we can consume more of the power of Xiaoyao Sect, we will definitely be able to conquer this market once the reinforcements from Red Cloud Mountain arrive, and we don't need to be too anxious."
"Follow the order of the ancestor!"
Hearing the order issued by the "Black Dragon Monster King" to continue attacking "Guiyunfang", the many monster kings present did not dare to say anything more, and hurriedly took the order and retreated in unison.
After the other demon kings had left, the "Black Dragon Demon King" stood up and said to the "Golden Tiger Demon King" who was left behind:
"Go to Chiyun Mountain tomorrow and help me deliver a letter to that old guy Chiyun, asking him to move faster and send someone to join us."
"Ancestor, if Chiyun Mountain still makes excuses and refuses to send troops to support us as last time, what should we do?" After hearing the words of the "Black Dragon Demon King", the Golden Tiger Demon King responded and asked another question.
Upon hearing this, the "Molong Demon King" snorted with a smile and replied:
"Hmph! I know this old guy must want to wait for us and Xiaoyao Sect to fight each other to a draw before he makes a move to gain more benefits. The reason why I rejected Bailong's proposal is that I don't want to fight Xiaoyao Sect too hard at this moment and let us suffer too much loss.
When you go, just urge them. If they ask about the battle situation on our side, you can say that we have fought several battles with Xiaoyao Sect and now both sides have suffered heavy losses. Remember not to let the old fox see any clues."
"Haha! The ancestor is still thoughtful. Don't worry, I know what to do about this matter."
After hearing the explanation of the "Molong Demon King", the "Golden Tiger Demon King" immediately smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked away lightly. (End of this chapter)
