Chapter 749: Kill the Barbarian Bull and Lure the Enemy Out (asking for monthly votes)
Just when Zhou Ziyang tried to stop the herd, these hundreds of demon bulls ignored the other cultivators' attempts to stop them and surrounded Zhou Ziyang frantically, looking fearless.
Faced with the siege of hundreds of demon bulls, even a Jindan cultivator like Zhou Ziyang was forced to be a little flustered for a while and could only take the initiative to retreat.
Taking advantage of the good opportunity created by his demon beasts, the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to break through the blockade of the cultivator army with several low-level demon beasts and rushed straight down the mountain.
There were more than 2,000 low-level demon beasts on the entire "Youyun Mountain". Even if the cultivators tried their best to block them, the battlefield of such a battle between thousands of cultivators and demon beasts was very chaotic, and there would still be many fish that slipped through the net and escaped from the mountain.
After all, the biggest target of the crowd was the Jindan Demon King, who had the highest cultivation level in the demon beast army, so they did not care too much about the low-level demon beasts that were missed.
Taking advantage of this, the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" restrained his cultivation and lay dormant all the way, and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain smoothly.
Just as the demon king rushed through the last line of defense and secretly rejoiced that he had escaped the encirclement of the monks, a cultivator from the Huang family of "Taiyuan Mountain" who was only in the Qi Refining stage happened to bump into him.
At this time, the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" showed only the middle stage of Qi Refining, and although the cultivation of this Huang family cultivator was not high, he had already broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Seeing the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" who was much weaker than himself, the Huang family cultivator who had been guarding at the foot of the mountain thought that it was his chance to make a contribution, and took the flying sword and took the initiative to kill the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" in front of him.
Seeing that he was noticed by someone, the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" did not panic and chose to show his original cultivation to kill this person, but instead accelerated his pace of escape, hoping to get rid of the other party directly with the advantage of speed.
However, the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" had a good idea, but he did not expect the determination of the Huang family cultivator to kill the enemy and make merit.
Seeing that the opponent was too fast and he could not catch up at all, the Huang family cultivator directly took out a precious high-grade spiritual talisman and cast a spell to turn it into a wooden prison to trap the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" who was not paying much attention to his back.
"You want to run away after being targeted by me, and you wasted my high-grade spiritual talisman. This time I want to see where you can run to." Seeing that the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" was successfully trapped by him, the Huang family cultivator was happy and rushed over here.
Just when he thought that his prey had been caught, he did not expect that the next moment the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" directly broke free from the control of the wooden prison and ran out directly from it.
Seeing that the demon beast in front of him, who was only in the middle stage of Qi Refining, actually broke free from the restraint of a high-grade spiritual talisman in an instant, the Huang family cultivator who ran halfway was also shocked and stunned in place, and some could not believe what had just happened.
"How is this possible? Isn't this guy a first-level monster!"
This top-grade talisman in his hand is difficult for a monster in the late stage of Qi training to break free in a short time, but the monster in front of him escaped in just an instant. This can only be done by a second-level monster above the foundation building stage.
Seeing that the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" in front of him was escaping quickly, the Huang family cultivators did not dare to continue chasing, and could only shout loudly at a distance, trying to find nearby foundation building cultivators for help.
The "Barbarian Bull Demon King" who was escaping heard the shouts from behind, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and spit out a powerful spiritual light, directly killing the Huang family cultivator not far away on the spot.
But this sudden huge movement quickly attracted the attention of nearby cultivators, and soon a foundation building cultivator with a flying sword on his feet quickly approached where the two were.
The person who came was Li Chengyue, the head of the Li family in Qinghe County, whose cultivation had reached the peak of foundation building.
After seeing the Huang family monk being killed by the monster, Li Chengyue immediately found something wrong, and personally led the monks to chase the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" who was escaping in front.
He quickly took out a communication talisman and cast a spell to inform Zhao Mengling and Huang Siyuan who were guarding in the air of the news.
Li Chengyue stepped on the flying sword, which was naturally faster than the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" who was trying to escape, and soon stopped him halfway.
Seeing that he had been discovered, the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" simply didn't pretend, and directly showed his true body and knocked Li Chengyue who was blocking him in front of him into the air, and then quickly flew into the air with a light of escape and fled far away.
This scene happened to be seen by Huang Siyuan who received the news and came to investigate, and immediately took out the magic weapon and quickly chased in the direction of the "Barbarian Bull Demon King"'s escape.
Although Huang Siyuan's cultivation is not as good as the "Barbarian Bull Demon King", she still has a third-level intermediate-grade flying boat under her feet, and her escape speed is not slower than the "Barbarian Bull Demon King". However, she used a magic weapon to stop the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" in mid-air after chasing him for more than ten miles.
Huang Siyuan's third-level intermediate-grade flying boat was found by Song Qingming, Luo Li and Chen Yuting in the cave of the "Heavenly Corpse Taoist" that year.
Chen Yuting, who was assigned this item at that time, did not need such a high-level flying boat, so she took the initiative to exchange it for spirit stones to Song Qingming.
Song Qingming already had a more useful "Phantom Boat" on him, and he also did not need this item. After returning to the family, he gave this flying boat directly to Huang Siyuan, replacing the one she originally used.
It was because of this third-level intermediate-grade flying boat that accelerated her escape speed that Huang Siyuan was able to catch up with her opponent so quickly and did not let the cunning "Barbarian Bull Demon King" escape easily.
Seeing that Huang Siyuan was only at the fourth level of the Golden Core, the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" roared and directly urged the two horns on his head to emit a spiritual light, hoping to rely on his own powerful strength to force the opponent in front of him to retreat.
Huang Siyuan was not in a hurry to see this. While driving the magic weapon to deal with the fierce attack of the "Barbarian Bull Demon King", she patted the "Spirit Beast Bag" on her waist, and soon a palm-sized red spirit rat was summoned by her.
This red spirit rat looks a little cute, but the aura it exudes is very amazing. It is actually the same as Huang Siyuan's cultivation level, and it is also a third-level demon beast that has broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
After swallowing the "Wanling Dew" refined by Huang Siyuan a year ago, "Chi Yan", who had been in seclusion for more than half a year, did not disappoint Huang Siyuan. With the help of the spiritual water, he successfully broke through his cultivation and advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
After breaking through his cultivation, the momentum exuded by "Chi Yan" was much stronger than before.
Even when facing the fierce-looking "Barbarian Bull Demon King", he was not afraid of the opponent at all. As soon as he came out, he spit out a large ball of flames at the opponent, burning the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" to distract himself from resisting its attack.
Although his cultivation strength was not as good as the "Barbarian Bull Demon King", Huang Siyuan still had a spirit beast "Red Flame" in the middle stage of the Golden Core to help him. With the combined efforts of the two, the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" could not gain any advantage for a while and it was difficult to get rid of the opponent's entanglement.
Finding that Huang Siyuan had already started fighting with the "Barbarian Bull Demon King", Zhao Mengling in the air and Song Qingming and Zhou Ziyang who were searching on the mountain also quickly rushed to her side one after another.
The "Barbarian Bull Demon King" who failed to get rid of the pursuit was soon surrounded by the crowd in the air. For a while, he was alone and had no chance to escape.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the Bull Demon King, who had been so powerful on "Youyun Mountain" for nearly a thousand years, was killed on the spot by Song Qingming and his four companions, and his demon pill fell into Song Qingming's hands.
With the death of the Bull Demon King, most of the demon beasts on "Youyun Mountain" were also cleared by the army of monks.
The remaining demon beasts had lost their fighting spirit when facing the army of human monks. Except for a few who escaped in the chaos, they all hid in the cave on the top of the mountain.
Under Song Qingming's arrangement, everyone immediately began to clean up the battlefield and the remaining demon beasts in the cave.
Because the human monks were well prepared and many Jindan monks took action, they won a great victory and killed the Bull Demon King, wiping out the entire "Youyun Mountain".
In addition, there were more than a thousand corpses of various low-level demon beasts left on the mountain. When the law enforcement team monks searched the entire spiritual mountain, they also found two third-level spiritual medicines and countless low-level herbal spiritual objects.
These spoils piled up like a mountain, and filled up the entire flying boat that came to load the spoils, making the faces of many cultivators participating in this battle full of satisfied smiles.
Although this battle was won under the leadership of Song Qingming and several other Jindan ancestors, so many monsters took advantage of the terrain and fought desperately from the beginning, and the casualties of the human cultivators were also not light.
Not only did more than 200 Qi Refining cultivators die on the spot, but even four Foundation Establishment cultivators died in the battle, and hundreds of people were injured in this battle and needed to be temporarily withdrawn to the rear for recuperation.
Li Chengyue, who went to stop the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" at the beginning, was directly sent dozens of feet away by the demon king's head-on attack and was knocked unconscious on the spot.
Although he saved his life by blocking important parts with a defensive magic weapon on his body, Li Chengyue was also seriously injured in many parts of his body by the demon king's attack. Song Qingming could only arrange for someone to send him back to "Qinghe County" first.
While the battle was going on in "Floating Cloud Mountain", the White Dragon Demon King in "White Cloud Valley" had already received a call for help from the "Barbarian Bull Demon King" and knew that the "Xiaoyao Sect" had led the army of monks to the north.
However, after receiving the call for help from "Youyun Mountain", the cautious "White Dragon Demon King" did not rush to send troops to rescue, but informed "Jinyu Mountain" in advance.
It was not until the "Molong Demon King" led his men that the "White Dragon Demon King" began to lead his army of monsters to quickly support "Youyun Mountain".
Not long after they set out, they were ambushed by the army of monks led by Li Mufeng, Bai Yuxian and others halfway.
After the two sides fought a fierce battle, the demon clan saw that the human race had been prepared and could not rush to support "Youyun Mountain", so they immediately and decisively withdrew to "White Cloud Valley".
Although the contact time was not long this time, both sides suffered considerable losses after the battle.
The Xiaoyao Sect had an extra Nascent Soul cultivator, so they had always taken the initiative on the battlefield. As a result, the monsters suffered much more losses than the human cultivators, and Bai Yuxian killed a Golden Core Demon King on the spot.
After the battle between the two sides, the "Molong Demon King", who had suffered some losses, knew that he had no chance of winning a direct battle against the monsters, so he commanded all the nearby monsters to retreat into the "White Cloud Valley".
Since then, the "Molong Demon King", who wanted to preserve his strength, never took the initiative to fight the Xiaoyao Sect again, but just guarded the dangerous "White Cloud Valley" and stalemated with the human cultivators, waiting for reinforcements from other places to arrive.
On the Xiaoyao Sect side, after destroying several third-level spirit veins in the surrounding area without any gains, the army merged and came to the outside of the "White Cloud Valley", trying to force the monsters to come out for a decisive battle.
But no matter how the people of "Xiaoyao Sect" lured the other side, insulted and challenged, the monsters were unmoved and did not want to come out to fight with the human race.
Only occasionally sent a small group of elite monsters above the foundation building level to the rear of the battlefield to harass the flying boats of the human cultivators transporting the wounded and supplies.
Seeing that the other side did not come out, the flying boats and convoys transporting supplies in the rear were often attacked by monsters and could not be supplied normally, and the human cultivators who surrounded "Baiyun Valley" were also a little anxious.
A few months later, Li Mufeng, who had been unable to force the other side out, chose to send troops to forcibly attack the "Bailong Valley" spiritual vein.
As a result, after entering the miasma array set up by the monsters in advance, the human cultivators were affected by the miasma and could not exert their full strength. After a big battle with the monsters, "Xiaoyao Sect" did not gain any advantage and suffered some losses, losing a lot of manpower.
Since then, the people of "Xiaoyao Sect" had no way to deal with the monsters in "Baiyun Valley" for a while, and no longer dared to attack the miasma array arranged by "Molong Demon King".
In this way, the two sides began to confront each other outside "Baiyun Valley" for more than half a year. Neither the "Xiaoyao Sect" nor the monsters hiding in Baiyun Valley dared to take action easily, and each waited for the reinforcements in their hearts.
——
One day, a black escape light suddenly flew from the east of "Baiyun Valley". Not long after, a black strange bird with a width of four or five feet after spreading its wings came to the outside of the valley.
After scanning the thick miasma in the valley, the black strange bird stopped directly in the air, and then spit out a scroll from its mouth to cast a spell to send it into the valley.
After waiting for a long time in the original place, the miasma in front of the black strange bird suddenly dissipated slowly, and a golden escape light flew quickly from the valley and landed in front of it.
"Fellow Daoist Jinhu, long time no see!" Seeing the "Golden Tiger Demon King" coming to his side, the black bird immediately smiled and greeted him.
Seeing this, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" nodded happily and said, "Fellow Daoist Mo Ya, you are finally here. The ancestor has been looking forward to seeing you for days. Come in with me!"
The "Mo Ya Demon King" nodded slightly and responded, and soon followed the "Golden Tiger Demon King" into the valley and came to the "Mo Long Demon King" who was discussing things with his demon kings in a hall.
"Greetings, ancestor!" After seeing the "Mo Long Demon King", the "Mo Ya Demon King" hurried forward and took the initiative to bow.
After seeing the other party, "Molong Demon King" waved his hand happily and said: "You came here to deliver a message today, so fellow Daoist Qinglu and his men should not be far away. I wonder when they can arrive here?"
"Reporting to Ancestor Molong, the army led by my ancestor is less than 800 miles away from here, and will arrive outside the valley tomorrow at the latest.
I came here this time on the order of the ancestor to ask you when you will launch an attack and attack the human cultivators together with us."
Hearing the other party's answer, "Molong Demon King" was happy at first, and then With a gloomy face, he slowly smiled and said, "Don't rush to counterattack tomorrow. I have a better way to have a chance to severely damage the human cultivators.
I will let Jinhu go back with you later, and tell fellow Daoist Qinglu that the army will stop at 200 miles first, and don't get close to here to avoid being discovered by the human cultivators.
Tomorrow I will go to him in person to discuss how to deal with the enemy. I hope you will wait a moment and don't be too anxious."
Hearing that the "Molong Demon King" suddenly had a new idea and changed the original battle plan, the "Moyao Demon King" immediately showed a trace of curiosity on his face.
But knowing that this matter was very important, it didn't ask much, just nodded and responded, and then left the hall with the Golden Tiger Demon King.
Five days later, in the air two thousand miles south of the "White Cloud Valley", a large flying boat full of various supplies quickly sailed northward.
The flying boat was painted with the unique logo of the "Xiaoyao Sect". In addition to various supplies and spiritual objects, there were also hundreds of "Xiaoyao Sect" disciples wearing various costumes.
These monks were just summoned from the rear by the "Xiaoyao Sect" and transferred to the front line for support.
Because they knew that they would soon go to the front battlefield to fight against the ferocious monster army, many monks on the flying boat were a little nervous at this moment. Three or five of them gathered in a group and asked for news from the front battlefield.
Many of them went to the front line to fight monsters for the first time and had no experience in such a large-scale battlefield. At this moment, they could inquire about some useful news on the battlefield in front of some senior monks, which was also a great comfort to them.
As the flying boat was moving slowly forward, on a high mountain in the distance, the "Molong Demon King" stared at the flying boat in front of him with a happy face and said to a man in green beside him:
"Daoyou Qinglu, in the past few months, I have continuously sent my men to harass the other party's flying boats transporting supplies. Several times, they have been alarmed to send out Yuanying cultivators for support.
If we can lure Bai Yuxian here this time, we can take the opportunity to kill him.
In this way, only Li Mufeng will be left in Xiaoyao Sect. At that time, I am afraid that they will withdraw their troops without our help. Next, it will be our time to counterattack."
After confronting the human cultivators in "Baiyun Valley" for more than half a year, the "Molong Demon King" sent small forces to harass the rear many times, and had already roughly figured out the route and time of the "Xiaoyao Sect" transporting supplies.
After joining forces with the reinforcements of the "Green Heron Demon King", the "Molong Demon King" did not rush to fight the human cultivators head-on, but secretly came to the rear of the battlefield with the "Green Heron Demon King".
He planned to use the attack on the "Xiaoyao Sect" to transport supplies to lure them to send people to help, and first weaken the opponent's strength. This is also the strategy of siege and attack when the "Xiaoyao Sect" attacked Youyun Mountain before.
"Haha! Brother Molong's plan is very good. No matter whether the opponent will send out Yuanying cultivators, as long as they dare to send reinforcements, we can at least kill a few of their Jindan cultivators and weaken their strength.
As long as we can severely injure them this time, we can still send troops to defeat them head-on and help you out." Hearing what the "Molong Demon King" said, the Green Heron Demon King on the side immediately agreed.
After getting the nod from the Green Heron Demon King, the "Molong Demon King" gave an order, and the four demon kings led by the "Golden Tiger Demon King" immediately took the order, and took hundreds of second-level demon beasts with them, and rushed directly to the "Xiaoyao Sect" flying boat that was moving not far away.
"There are demon beasts, there are demon beasts attacking."
"Everyone stand still, what are you panicking about! Go and inform Master Jin to start the flying boat formation first."
"..."
Seeing a group of demon beasts chasing this side in the distant sky, the young monks on the flying boat were suddenly panicked and confused, until several foundation-building monks shouted a few times, and then the scene became much quieter.
Under the leadership of several leading foundation-building monks, the crowd quickly stabilized, directly activated the third-level formation on the flying boat, and began to control the large city defense equipment installed on it, preparing for the next battle.
"Surround them, stop the flying boat, don't let them run away!"
After approaching the flying boat, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" immediately commanded many of his demon beasts to begin besieging the formation above the flying boat, and soon forced the entire flying boat to slowly slow down and stop.
"Master Jin, why are there so many demon beasts this time? I'm afraid the formation won't last long. What should we do?"
Looking at the hundreds of level 2 demon beasts and four powerful golden elixir demon kings in front of them, many cultivators on the flying boat were also very nervous at the moment, wondering if the formation could hold out until reinforcements arrived.
However, Jin Ziyuan, who was standing in front of the flying boat, was not too worried when he saw so many demon beasts coming outside at once. Instead, he showed a hint of excitement on his face.
"Tell everyone that reinforcements will arrive soon. Use all your strength to activate the formation and don't be stingy with spiritual stones. The Qi Refining cultivators will stay to control the Feiyun Crossbow. You will go out with me to try to stop them and buy more time."
After Jin Ziyuan finished speaking, he took the only dozen foundation-building cultivators on the flying boat and jumped out of the formation to resist the monsters that attacked the flying boat formation.
When the "Golden Tiger Demon King" saw Jin Ziyuan and others running out, he did not rush to besiege them. He only separated some monsters to entangle with them, and the other monsters focused on blocking the flying boat, with the purpose of not letting the flying boat escape from here.
This time, the two sides fought very fiercely outside, but they seemed to be a little absent-minded and did not use their full strength. After fighting for a long time, there were no major casualties on both sides.
It was not until about a quarter of an hour later that a white escape light suddenly flew from the sky north of the flying boat. Soon, a small flying boat with an extremely fast escape speed carrying more than a dozen cultivators appeared in front of everyone, which changed the entire battlefield again.
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Qinglu, the big fish is coming!" (End of this chapter)
