Although the power of the thunder beads could not kill the Fire Cloud Wolf, it made the Fire Cloud Wolf slow down slightly.
In this moment, Zhang Ruochen took out a battle picture.
Under the stimulation of the true energy, the inscriptions on the battle map lit up, and ten purple-horned beasts rushed out, while the Fire Cloud Wolf rushed towards them.
The combat power of each purple-horned beast is comparable to that of a Dzogchen Dzogchen warrior.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Ruochen immediately retreated, rushed into the formation, and fled back to Yueji City.
As soon as Zhang Ruochen rushed into the formation, there was a loud bang behind him, and the entire city defense formation shook violently.
Just now, the Fire Cloud Wolf crushed and killed the ten purple-horned beasts, caught up with Zhang Ruochen, and struck Zhang Ruochen with one claw, narrowly missing Zhang Ruochen's back. Fortunately, its claws were blocked by the city defense formation.
Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would definitely be seriously injured.
"What a powerful fire cloud wolf. The ten purple-horned beasts only blocked the time it took for two breaths."
Zhang Ruochen got up from the ground exhausted, looked at the battle map in his hand, and found that the light on the battle map had dimmed a bit.
The power of the battle map will be reduced every time it is used.
If Zhang Ruochen activates the purple-horned beast map again now, he will only be able to release ten purple-horned beasts at the lower end of the Earth Realm. If he activates it for the third time, he will probably only be able to release ten purple-horned beasts at the early stage of the Earthly Realm.
After taking a healing elixir, Zhang Ruochen immediately rushed to the altar in the center of the city, took out all the beasts from two storage bracelets and a storage ring, and placed them on the altar.
A total of twenty-seven brutal beast corpses were piled up into a hill of bloody corpses.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen went to the city and collected all the wild birds shot down by the formation.
One hundred and seventy-eight beast carcasses were also placed on the altar by Zhang Ruochen.
"The number of wild beasts and wild birds is still a little small, and we must hunt more."
Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged under the altar and began to nurse his injuries. It took about half an hour and he recovered 50% of his injuries.
Stopping to recuperate, Zhang Ruochen took Shen Yuan's ancient sword and rushed out of the city defense formation again, continuing to hunt wild beasts.
Unlike before, Zhang Ruochen did not deliberately go head-to-head with those fourth-level beasts. Instead, he could avoid those fourth-level beasts and only hunt low-level beasts.
"boom!"
Zhang Ruochen shot out a thunder bead, and the electric light released killed more than a dozen first-order beasts. The corpses were charred and black, and a large piece fell down.
Zhang Ruochen immediately rushed over and put the beast's corpse into the storage ring.
Just when the fourth-level beast "Lion-Headed Ox King" rushed over, Zhang Ruochen had already escaped back to Yueji City.
After placing the wild beast on the altar, Zhang Ruochen secretly left the city from another direction and continued to hunt the wild beast.
"What is that kid Zhang Ruochen planning? Does he think that the speed at which he hunts wild beasts can catch up with the speed at which I summon wild beasts?" Ling Xiansu stared down with some confusion, very puzzled by Zhang Ruochen's actions.
Ling Xiansu could never imagine that Zhang Ruochen wanted to hunt wild beasts and was preparing to start a sacrificial ceremony in Yueji City.
Every time Zhang Ruochen rushed out of the city, Ling Xiansu immediately ordered the fourth-level beast to kill him.
However, Zhang Ruochen was quite cunning. He would hide near the city wall every time and just use thunder beads or battle maps to hunt down batch after batch of wild beasts and collect storage bracelets.
By evening, the corpses of 477 savage beasts had been piled on the altar, forming a blood-red mountain of corpses.
"The blood of savage beasts, coupled with the blood of tens of thousands of human warriors in Yueji City, should be able to open the door to humans and gods and complete the sacrificial ceremony." Zhang Ruochen said excitedly.
In the Kunlun world, generally speaking, only the winter solstice is the best time to offer sacrifices.
It is said that during the winter solstice, the divine realm and the Kunlun realm are closest to each other, so the door between humans and gods is easiest to open.
Even a small sacrifice in a village can open the door to humans and gods.
However, once the winter solstice passes, it is difficult to open the door to humans and gods. Only by using a hundred times the blood energy can one open the door to humans and gods and complete the sacrificial ceremony.
Outside the city, the attacks of those savage beasts became more fierce. The walls in some places had been smashed into pieces, and the light of the city defense formation became weaker and weaker.
A hundred miles away from Yueji City, there is a hill.
On the top of the mountain, two figures stood.
The leader among them looked to be in his early twenties, with sharp eyebrows and eagle eyes, a straight nose, and bright eyes, giving people a handsome and majestic feeling.
This person is none other than Zhang Tiangui, the number one genius in the thirty-six counties of Tianmo Ridge.
Lu Qiankun, the third-ranked figure among the inner disciples of Yuntai Zongfu, stared in the direction of Yueji City, a little anxiously, and said: "Elder brother, Yueji City's city defense formation is about to be broken, are we?
Can we take action?"
Zhang Tiangui put his hands behind his back, shook his head gently and said, "No hurry, just wait."
"Why?" Lu Qiankun was very puzzled.
Zhang Tiangui curled up the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Now is not the time."
Lu Qiankun is an honest man, so naturally he doesn't understand Zhang Tiangui's plan.
To save people, we must save them. The key is how to save them? When to save them?
Han Qiu is not in danger enough now. Saving her at this time will not maximize the benefits.
Only when Zhang Tiangui suddenly appeared when she was in the most danger and helplessness, would she be even more grateful and moved.
To deal with women, we must use some methods, otherwise how could they be submissive?
How could an idiot like Lu Qiankun understand his good intentions?
This is an opportunity to win Han Qiu's heart. How could Zhang Tiangui let go of such a God-given opportunity?
"Zhang Ruochen seems to be also in Yueji City. It just so happens that he was dealt with by the way. Keeping him will always be a disaster." Zhang Tiangui looked very calm and looked at Yueji City in the distance with a confident light in his eyes.
.
He would continue to wait until the best time to take action.
The battle in Yueji City was very fierce. Han Qiu activated attack formations one after another and killed no one knows how many wild beasts and wild birds.
Another half hour passed, and the energy of the five attack formations was completely exhausted.
There are only two defensive formations and one city protection formation left in the entire Yueji City. It is only a matter of time before the formation is breached.
Han Qiu stood on the city wall, looking at the endless stream of wild beasts, and finally felt a little helpless, and said anxiously: "Zhang Ruochen, what should we do now? The reinforcements from Wushi Academy and Yuntai Zongfu have not arrived, so the defense
The formation can last up to one stick of incense."
"We just have to fight hard! If we can break through the realm, maybe we can get out."
Zhang Ruochen walked into the stone door under the altar, came to the edge of the sacred pool, and read out a sacrificial text according to his memory. He pressed his hands on the stone wall, and the spiritual fire energy in his body surged out from his palms and gradually spread out, covering the entire sacrificial altar.
tower.
"Start the sacrificial ceremony!"
"Boom!"
The huge altar began to slowly rotate.
A blood-red light pillar shot up from the center of the altar, shattering the clouds in the sky, as if it had rushed into the vast universe.
The sky turned blood red.
In the blood-red center, it seemed as if a door had been opened. There was chaos inside the door, and a rain of light fell down, falling on Yueji City.
Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged on the ground and began to communicate with his soul veins.
A beam of light rushed out from his head and condensed into a soul shadow that looked exactly like Zhang Ruochen.
That soul shadow flew out, suspended in the sky above the divine pool, and began to absorb the power of the sacrifice floating in the air.
Han Qiu stood aside, wondering what Zhang Ruochen wanted to do?
When Wuhun rushed out of Zhang Ruochen's body, she was finally shocked. The expression on her face was completely dull, as if she was petrified, and her lips grew into an "O" shape.
"He...cultivated a martial spirit..."
In the martial arts mythology of Tianji Realm, few people can cultivate a martial spirit. Zhang Ruochen is only at the Diji Realm, but he has already cultivated a martial soul.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen's martial spirit was extremely sacred, like the shadow of a god, which made Han Qiu have the urge to kneel down and worship.
The martial spirit floating above the divine pool glanced at Han Qiu and actually spoke: "Why are you still dazed? Come here immediately and sit in front of me. I will transfer part of the power of the sacrifice into your body.
With the help of the power of sacrifice, it may be possible to alleviate the two forces in your body and resolve the crisis you encounter in your cultivation."
Han Qiu felt the oppressive power coming from Zhang Ruochen's martial spirit, as if he had received the will of the gods, and walked to Zhang Ruochen's side devoutly.
She sat cross-legged opposite Zhang Ruochen, slowly raised a pair of snow-white jade arms, and connected with Zhang Ruochen's hands.
"boom!"
As soon as he made contact with Zhang Ruochen's hands, Han Qiu felt an electric shock.
A surge of sacrificial power surged into her body from her right hand, rushed into her meridians, and surged into the sea of qi.
Under the impact of that sacrificial power, she felt like a leaf of duckweed in the sea, and her body might be torn apart by that power at any time.
"Don't panic, calm down, run the "Holy Qiankun Gong" and try to absorb the power of the sacrifice."
Just when Han Qiu was panicking, Zhang Ruochen's voice was like the sacred voice of heaven, reaching her mind.
Gradually, Han Qiu regained his composure, closed his eyes, and started to operate the technique according to Zhang Ruochen's instructions.
The power of sacrifice is the most sacred power and the most inclusive power. After entering her meridians, it begins to circulate around the whole body, completing a great circle, and finally flows back into Zhang Ruochen's body meridians from her left palm.
Repeating this process over and over again, the power of the sacrifice completed one great cycle in her body.
The meridians slowly absorbed that power, and her martial arts realm improved step by step.
In the sea of qi, the opposition between the dark qi and the holy qi of the universe became weaker and weaker, as if they were about to merge together. The two kinds of qi formed a black and white flow of real qi, and together with the power of the sacrifice, they
