The sword light and the empty boat stopped dozens of miles away from Chongxuan Mountain, confronting the mountain guards who were waiting in formation in the distance.
Then I saw various sword lights flashing on the empty ships, and soon five to six hundred monks wearing various robes flew out from them.
Being able to fly with a sword proves that these monks are at least Foundation Establishment Stage monks. Twenty or thirty of them have obviously stronger auras than the Foundation Establishment Stage monks, and they are even Zifu Stage monks who can be called high-level monks.
Five or six hundred Foundation-building monks, twenty or thirty Zifu-phase monks, the combined power is already very strong, plus the three sharp sword lights that came with the empty row ship, and the piloted
The four golden elixir stage monks in the Dakong Tower are seven golden elixirs, dozens of purple mansions, and hundreds of foundation-building monks!
And how much power does Chong Xuan Shan have on the surface?
It’s just two golden elixir monks and ten foundation-building monks!
"Qingyun Sanren, for the sake of Senior Yulong Zhenren, if you abandon Chongxuan Mountain now, we can let you leave safely. Otherwise, if the war breaks out and the sword has no eyes, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Thunderous shouts suddenly sounded from the army of monks in the distance.
This voice sounded familiar to all the monks on Chongxuan Mountain. Unfortunately, they were too far apart. Even if the monks in the Qi-training stage used the "Sky Eye Technique" to bless themselves, it would be difficult for them to see clearly the person who made the sound. They could only look like those next to them.
The brothers and sisters in the foundation building stage asked in low voices.
Then they saw the senior brothers and sisters, and they said a name with strange expressions.
After hearing this name, the registered disciples who were originally worried suddenly calmed down inexplicably.
That name was Li Boyang, a being who was often teased in private by the Chongxuan Mountain disciples, and one of the few Golden Core monks they dared to tease.
Sure enough, these disciples soon heard the heroic laughter of their master.
"Hahaha, if someone else had said this, I would think twice about it, but from a defeated general like you, Li Boyang, wouldn't it be a joke if I hesitated?"
On Chongxuan Mountain, Zhou Yang laughed loudly and shouted loudly with a voice as loud as a bell: "You don't have to say anything. As long as I am still here, this Chongxuan Mountain is not something you can set foot on. If you want to set foot on Chongxuan Mountain,
Xuanshan, just step over my corpse!"
"Okay, okay, are you going to propose a toast and be punished with a drink, right? Do you really think that with Senior Yulong's relationship, I won't dare to kill you?"
Outside Chongxuan Mountain, Li Boyang's face turned red with anger at Zhou Yang's words, and then he yelled with shame and anger: "Since you want to defend Chongxuan Mountain, we will fulfill your wish and suffer death!"
Don't say that "Qingyun Sanren" is just a grandson of Yuqing Taoist Sect Yulong Zhenren whose true identity cannot be disclosed. He is a real Nascent Soul monk's child. If he is killed on the battlefield, he can only blame himself for his incompetence and his death will be in vain.
.
Of course, if they are not forced to do so and encounter such a powerful monk on the battlefield, most enemies will not dare to kill him with a fatal blow.
After all, killing people feels good for a while, but to be completely resented by a Nascent Soul Stage monk afterwards, it is more or less not worth the gain.
This is also the reason why Li Boyang and others said these words before starting the war.
But now that Zhou Yang's pseudonym "Qingyun Sanren" has said that they will defend Chongxuan Mountain, if they kill Zhou Yang on the battlefield, at least it will be completely justified from a moral point of view. The Nascent Soul Stage monks of the "Six Paths Alliance" will have to
After knowing this, I will definitely try my best to protect them.
Especially...
Li Boyang looked around at the three golden elixir monks from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect wearing white robes.
The Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect is also a sect with several Nascent Soul Stage monks in charge. Even if their monks kill the descendants of Yuanying Stage monks like "Qingyun Sanren" on the battlefield, the sect will protect them, so don't worry too much.
be retaliated against.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist Li, we will do it ourselves to kill this Qingyun Sanren when the time comes. The safekeeping will not make it difficult for you in Qingyun Valley!"
As if he knew what Li Boyang was thinking, when he glanced over, a golden elixir monk from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect smiled at him and softly said something that made him feel at ease.
He was certain in his heart, and with a smile on his face he said: "With these words from Fellow Daoist Luo, Li will feel at ease. Li will let others launch an attack!"
After saying that, he immediately discussed a few words with the other three Jindan monks who belonged to Anguo, then waved his hand and ordered the assembled Zifu monks and Foundation Establishment monks to form a formation and move closer to Chongxuan Mountain.
After these people got closer to Chongxuan Mountain more than ten miles away, they each used their spells and imperial weapons to attack the mountain-protecting formation.
The defense formed by the "Five Elements Returning Formation" is not a common light mask, but thick clouds of five colors. These five-color clouds cover most of Chongxuan Mountain, making it difficult for people outside the mountain to see clearly what is going on inside the mountain.
At this moment, the attacks of hundreds of monks outside the mountain fell into the five-color clouds, and they were instantly wiped out like a mud cow entering the sea, unable to make much waves.
When Li Boyang saw this scene, he immediately said to several other Jindan monks: "Let's take action too. This [Five Elements Returning Formation] is a famous tortoise shell defense. We only rely on the words of those mid-level monks."
, even if they are exhausted, they will not be able to break this mountain-protecting formation!"
"As it should be."
Several Jindan stage monks nodded slightly, and immediately released magical weapons and cast spells to join the attack array.
The attacks of the Golden Core Stage monks are very powerful. Every attack can defeat and disperse a large area of five-color clouds.
However, these clouds are destroyed and regenerated. As soon as the clouds collapse outside, the clouds inside surge up, and new clouds will soon appear to replace them.
This situation did not go beyond the expectations of Li Boyang and others. They continued to attack without any haste or impatience, without any signs of anger.
"There is something wrong with these guys. According to their offensive, if they want to break through the defense of the [Five Elements Returning Formation], it will take at least ten days and a half to succeed. By that time, our reinforcements should have arrived long ago. By then they will
It’s even harder to break the formation!”
On Chongxuan Mountain, Zhou Yang frowned as he looked at the painless offensive of Li Boyang and others outside the mountain.
Experience told him that the "Six Paths Alliance" had been preparing for this war for so long, and it was impossible for the thunder to be loud and the rain to be small.
Even if due to time constraints, Li Boyang and others only have time to launch the offensive as the vanguard, this offensive should not be so weak.
"Could it be that they want to encircle the area for reinforcements? They deliberately use Chongxuan Mountain as a bait to lure Dao Alliance reinforcements from the Chang Kingdom to come to the rescue, and then take advantage of the situation to destroy the reinforcements and annex the Chang Kingdom in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, that must be the case. Only in this way can we explain this matter!"
"Now we're in trouble!"
Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly froze, and it felt as if there was an invisible mountain pressing on him, and the pressure increased many times in an instant.
He was not worried about the reinforcements who might be ambushed, but he was worried about himself.
In the war in the world of cultivators, the method of "encircling a point and calling for reinforcements" is not very effective. After all, cultivators come and go high and run fast. Unless they are trapped in some large formations, they will not be able to spot the enemy from a distance.
After the momentum is strong, it should not be too easy to leave.
Moreover, Zhou Yang believed that the Yuanying-stage monks who were in charge of the Chang Kingdom must have a way to know the battle situation on Chongxuan Mountain in real time. Even he could find this out through the situation of the monks attacking the mountain outside. That Yuanying-stage monk would know
have no idea?
So he doesn't need to worry about those reinforcements at all, but should worry about himself.
Compared with an isolated enclave like Chongxuan Mountain, the entire Chang Kingdom is obviously more important. Now that the enemy's true purpose has been discovered, can the reinforcements he requested really arrive on time?
If the reinforcements do not come, as long as Li Boyang and others outside Chongxuan Mountain continue to attack, sooner or later the "Five Elements Returning Formation" will be unable to hold on. If there is no reinforcements at that time, he will charge these dozens of people on Xuanshan Mountain.
, he will have to face the siege of seven golden elixirs, dozens of purple mansions, and hundreds of foundation-building monks alone.
Even if Zhou Yang's strength is far higher than that of the same level, and there are two fifth-level spiritual birds such as Colorful Peacock and Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, it will be difficult to face this lineup.
Not to mention anything else, the three sword cultivators from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect were completely enough to contain him. Once he was contained, the remaining four Jindan-level monks, including Li Boyang, could rely on the addition of two spiritual birds alone.
Xiao Ying, who had no fighting experience at all, could not stop her at all.
"We can no longer place all our hopes on those so-called reinforcements. Now it seems that the only way to save Chongxuan Mountain is to save ourselves."
"If you want to save yourself, you must first kill at least two enemy Golden Core monks before the mountain-protecting formation is broken, so that you can have a showdown with the enemy after the formation is broken!"
Zhou Yang thought of this and looked at the four golden elixir monks outside the mountain who were attacking the mountain guard formation with a gloomy expression, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Next, Zhou Yang's worries seemed to become reality.
The reinforcements that were supposed to arrive within two days were still nowhere to be seen after three days.
On the fourth day, the "Fairy Jade Book" that he had never used since he obtained it from the Yuqing Taoist Sect suddenly automatically activated and revealed a page of fonts.
The situation was exactly as he expected. The reinforcements from Chang Kingdom discovered an ambush on the way and immediately retreated. Then the "Six Paths Alliance" team consisted of more than 30 Jindan monks and more than 200 Zifu monks.
, the army of monks composed of more than 7,000 foundation-building monks stormed into the Kingdom of Chang and surrounded Lingshan, the mountain gate of many immortal cultivating sects and cultivating families in the Kingdom of Chang.
Only a few days have passed, and a small sect and five large families with Zifu period monks in Chang Kingdom have been destroyed.
The situation in the country is so critical that it is naturally impossible for the monks from the Chang Kingdom to come to help Chongxuan Mountain.
Even if the monks from other countries in the rear come to help, they must first save the country of Chang. It is impossible to cross the country of Chang to rescue Chongxuan Mountain.
Therefore, the Yuqing Taoist Sect gave Zhou Yang two choices. One was to take the initiative to break out of the encirclement and retreat to a certain sect in the Chang Kingdom, and wait for help together; the other was to continue to stay in Chongxuan Mountain to delay the enemy army outside the mountain, waiting for
Reinforcements.
The second article is actually a bit ridiculous, because it does not say where to wait for reinforcements. What this means, Zhou Yang knows very well.
The Yuqing Taoist Sect was unreliable, so Zhou Yang had no choice but to put his hope in the Xuanyang Immortal Sect and Qingyang Zhenren.
Although he has not yet received any news from Master Qingyang, he knows that no news is actually good news.
Because if he really didn't plan to rescue Chongxuan Mountain, Master Qingyang could directly send a message to him like the Yuqing Dao Sect to give up the Chongxuan Mountain breakout, and there wouldn't be no news until now.
He has reason to believe that Master Qingyang is now lobbying hard for this matter and striving to give him a good result.
Of course, while waiting for the news, Zhou Yang did not watch the enemy attack the mountain-protecting formation.
Since he had plans to save himself, he naturally had to find out the details of his enemy before actually killing someone.
Therefore, when Li Boyang and others were attacking the mountain-protecting formation, Zhou Yang, who was on the mountain, also used magic weapons to attack several people many times to test their background.
But Zhou Yang's probing actions did not go smoothly. Whenever he made a move, the three Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect sword cultivators holding down the formation would intercept with their swords. As a result, he made ten probing attempts before he could really force Li Boyang and others once or twice.
People took action to resist.
There are three sword cultivators from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect, one is at the sixth level of the Golden elixir, one is at the fifth level, and one is at the third level. From the point of view of their cultivation, they are not as good as those of the four small and medium-sized sects such as Li Boyang.
The monk is strong.
But cultivation is never completely equated with strength, as you can see if you look at Zhou Yang.
Although Zhou Yang did not use those powerful methods in the probing attack, the sharpness of the three flying swords of the three opponents had left a deep impression on him.
If he used the formation to fight against these three people, Zhou Yang felt that unless he could win one or two people on the spot, it would definitely be a tough battle.
This made his desire to save himself even stronger.
On the seventh day of the siege on Chongxuan Mountain, the news that Zhou Yang had been waiting for finally came to fruition.
Master Qingyang sent him a message that two Jindan monks were on their way to Chongxuan Mountain and they would definitely arrive within seven days.
This is the assistance Xuanyang Immortal Sect can give him now.
Although this assistance is not that big, being able to send two Golden Core Stage monks over at this time has shown Xuanyang Immortal Sect’s attitude and will never treat him, Zhou Yang, as an abandoned son who can be abandoned at any time.
.
For Zhou Yang, this attitude made him more satisfied and reassured than the assistance from the two golden elixir monks.
"Seven days? With the current situation of the mountain protection formation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to last until then. It seems that my self-rescue plan must be launched in advance!"
He murmured to himself and looked towards the mountain-attacking monks who were taking turns attacking without stopping for a moment. A cold murderous intention flashed in his eyes.
Three more days have passed like this. Under the continuous attack by the mountain-attacking monks outside Chongxuan Mountain for ten days and ten nights, the five-colored clouds formed by the "Five Elements Returning Formation" have only less than 40% of the original one, and they can only continue to cover it up.
We live in the area from the mountainside to the top of the mountain.
An area without these five-colored clouds is equivalent to being undefended. If spells fall on it, it will instantly cause great damage to the mountain.
Acres of spiritual fields and medicinal gardens were easily destroyed by fire, washed away by floods, and frozen by ice.
When Ye Yunshan and other disciples on the mountain saw this scene, their faces showed pain and resentment.
You must know that those spiritual fields and medicinal gardens are the fruits of their hard work over the years. Now that the fruits of their hard work have been destroyed in front of their own eyes, how can they not be extremely sad and angry?
.
Even Xiao Ying, who had a gentle temperament, was cursing with a livid face at this moment: "These guys are really bad. If they do this, even if they finally conquer Chongxuan Mountain, they will only get ruins. I don't know how to do it in the future."
How long does it take to get back to where we are now!"
Zhou Yang, on the other hand, became the calmest person. He looked calmly at the spiritual fields and medicinal gardens at the foot of the mountain that were destroyed by the war, and said in a mocking tone: "Anyway, after conquering Chongxuan Mountain, we finally got this spiritual mountain."
It’s not necessarily people like them, they naturally don’t care how long it takes to rebuild Lingshan.”
If it's not yours, I won't feel bad if it's broken.
That’s not what Li Boyang and others think.
Therefore, even though everyone saw this scene, no one said anything to stop them, and they just turned a blind eye and continued to attack fiercely.
On the morning of the eleventh day, the sun rose as usual.
Li Boyang, who had recovered from meditation for most of the night, and another golden elixir monk replaced the two golden elixir monks who had been attacking the mountain guard formation all night.
Starting from the third day of attacking the mountain, the mountain-attacking monks began to change shifts. The golden elixir stage monks were divided into two groups, and the foundation-building stage monks were divided into three groups. They continued to attack Xuanshan Mountain without stopping.
This was Li Boyang's third shift. When he used his magic weapon to attack the mountain guarding formation, his eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the five-color cloud that had shrunk by more than half, and he was silently estimating how many shifts would be needed to break through.
This turtle shell protects the mountain formation.
"Two more times at most are enough!"
He quickly made his own judgment based on the speed at which the five-colored clouds dissipated on the mountain, and then a cheerful look appeared on his face, full of smiles.
Because of Chongxuan Mountain, his reputation has been tarnished in recent years.
Now he personally brought a large army to attack this place, and finally realized the cruel words he had put down at the beginning, and he would soon be able to break Lingshan and watch the hateful "Qingyun Sanren" die in front of his eyes.
How can others experience this kind of pleasure?
"Although I can't behead you with my own hands, watching you die in front of my eyes can relieve the hatred in my heart. After this time, I'll see who dares to speak ill of me behind my back.
!”
Li Boyang murmured in his mouth and attacked harder and harder.
We attacked like this for several hours, and when the sun was at its peak, the situation suddenly changed.
I saw a flash of fire on Chongxuan Mountain, and the "Qingyun Sanren" who had been hiding in the mountain-protecting formation for the past few days to make sneak attacks suddenly flew out from the mountain with a flaming dragon and rushed towards the attackers dozens of miles away.
Li Boyang.
not good!
Li Boyang's complexion suddenly changed, and his body reflexively retreated.
In the battle outside Chongxuan Mountain, he had already seen the power of "Qingyun Sanren".
Now that the opponent's cultivation level has reached the fifth level of Golden Core, and he is tired from long battles, it is even more impossible for him to be his opponent.
However, the idea of retreating just came up, and was abandoned because he sensed the sharp sword intent emanating from the hands of the three Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect sword cultivators behind him.
Yes, Li Boyang cannot defeat the "Qingyun Sanren" alone, but he is not fighting alone today, there are several monks of the same level behind him!
"Qingyun Sanren, you are asking for death!"
Li Boyang yelled angrily, and instead of retreating, he quickly used a spare magic weapon to hit the incoming figure. At the same time, he activated his protective magic weapon and magical power to protect himself layer by layer, without seeking any merit.
, but seek no fault.
He thought very well, as long as he held "Qingyun Sanren" for a while, the three sword cultivators from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect would immediately teach him how to behave.
At that time, even if the "Qingyun Sanren" want to retreat to Chongxuan Mountain, it will still depend on whether they agree.
It's a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.
Li Boyang seriously underestimated Zhou Yang's strength and overestimated his own defense.
When the gleaming purple spear poked away his defensive weapon like a purple lightning bolt, and when a blue-gold dragon roared in front of him, his life had come to an end!
Bang!
After a loud explosion, Li Boyang's body was directly blasted into pieces by the blue-gold dragon in the air, and blood rained down on the ground. Even the soul and golden elixir could not escape.
"You dare!"
Not far away, when the three sword cultivators from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect saw this scene, their expressions suddenly changed, and they shouted loudly with livid faces.
After they discovered Zhou Yang coming out of Chongxuan Mountain, they already sensed something was wrong and initiated an interception. However, their flying swords were blocked by several magical weapons of Zhou Yang's imperial envoy midway.
Although they quickly chopped down the intercepted magic weapon into the clouds, this slight delay directly caused Li Boyang's downfall.
How could this not make the three swordsmen who thought highly of themselves extremely shocked and angry?
"Kill him!"
The sixth-level sword cultivator with the highest level of Jindan shouted loudly, pinched the sword formula in his hand, and the natal flying sword of Xingming Xiu turned into a strand of golden sword thread and penetrated towards Zhou Yang.
At the same time, a wisp of crimson sword thread and a wisp of cyan sword thread also cut through the sky under the control of two other sword cultivators, quickly blocking all Zhou Yang's escape routes.
The "Flying Sword Turns Silk" sword skill, which Zhou Yang has never been able to master so far, can be used so easily by the three sword cultivators from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect.
However, what shocked the three sword cultivators was that in the face of such a fierce sword attack, Zhou Yang just waved his hand and held out a crimson dragon scale shield in front of him, then he nonchalantly raised his foot and stomped his feet.
The flaming dragon that was twenty to thirty feet long pounced on another Anguo Jindan monk.
Clang clang clang!
The crisp sound of metal chiming resounded through the sky. The [Flaming Dragon Shield] magical weapon that debuted for the first time did not disappoint Zhou Yang, who had high hopes for it. It easily blocked three extremely sharp sword wires.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the three sword cultivators from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect suddenly turned cold, and they felt like they were being humiliated.
What are they?
They are swordsmen!
The swordsman with the strongest attack power!
"Hmph, do you think that relying on the power of a magic weapon can make you run rampant? Two junior brothers, set up the [Three Talents Killing Immortal Sword Formation]!"
The leader of the sixth-level Jindan Sword Cultivator snorted coldly and said hello, and the three flying swords of gold, red and green quickly met in mid-air, and then turned into a dazzling three-color sword light and struck towards Zhou Yang.
