Volume 4: The Rise of the Dragon Chapter 418: The Witch’s Counterattack and the Crisis Behind it
(Bah, bah, I’m really a crow’s mouth. I just said that the weather is getting better. But today the weather has changed. Not only has the temperature dropped a lot, but the wind is also freezing. It makes me, a person without a hat, feel the unpredictable temper of God. It is said that
It will be colder tomorrow. It seems that we need to pay attention to the cold recently.
In addition, I was so confused that I forgot to add the Holy Spirit Tree clone in a chapter, which resulted in a big bug. I am so ashamed of myself. I would like to thank the book friend "In My Bones? Sadness" who pointed out the mistake for me. I hope you can give me more opinions in the future.
For the world of Eastern cultivation, this year is by no means a peaceful year, whether it was the massive crusade against demons or the many changes that followed, all of which have become painful memories for several sects and many cultivators.
A popular topic.
First, the siege was planned well and thought to be unnoticed, but the demons detected it in advance and made preparations. As a result, the high-spirited cultivators ran into the positions prepared by the demons. Although the demons did not seem to have time to prepare.
How sufficient and the high-end strength is far less than that of the cultivators. However, just this little preparation in advance has weakened the cultivators' advantage of surprise attack to the extreme. After the surprise attack failed and hit the iron plate, most battles quickly changed from the original situation.
The raid and extermination war evolved into positional warfare and protracted warfare.
Shushan sect members raided the Xichuan Demon Nest, but were strongly blocked. The raid failed, and they fell into a bitter battle;
The cultivators headed by Tianjian Sect and Wuji Sect learned on the way that the "Return to the Ruins of Ten Thousand Mountains" was attacked by demons, so they divided their troops to reinforce. However, the advancing Tianjian Sect was ambushed by demons at "Return to the Ruins of Ten Thousand Mountains".
Celestial Immortal Yu Ryūko’s help blocked the opponent’s demon-level powerhouse and stabilized the position;
The Wuji Sect that stayed behind was also besieged by demons. When the enemy was outnumbered, its leader Wu Dao decisively sacrificed the sect's treasure "Xiantian Wuji Formation" to suppress it with the incomparable strong defensive power of the Xiantian Wuji Formation.
Gaining a foothold will lead to an invincible position;
The cultivators of the Tianshi Dao in Longhu Mountain encountered weak demons. The master-level masters headed by the leader Li Xuanji used various means to suppress the demon lords on the demon side; while the ordinary disciples used their own methods that had been hidden for many years.
The Technique of the Five Fighting Gods used the immortal characteristics of the Five Fighting Gods to cooperate with ordinary disciples to block the impact of a large number of ordinary monsters; after Li Xuanji cast a spell to trap the most powerful giant ape lord with a magic array, the occupation became stable and the morale of the monsters was high.
It was no longer possible to surround and kill the cultivators, and the forces of both sides became balanced;
In addition to these sects, the Maoshan sect encountered a sneak attack by demons in the battle and lost a lot of corpses and disciples because of their inability to temper themselves. Then they had to rely on the illusion transformed by the sect's treasure "Three Mao True Talismans" to retreat to a corner and wait for help; Jade
The Buddhist temple was counter-attacked by demons and even after the demons were driven away, they were too damaged and unable to pursue them; the Nanhai Sect encountered a large number of sea monsters and monsters on the coast, including even god-level demons. Fortunately, the treasures used by their sect were war magic weapons that were extremely strong, so they were able to survive.
After the stormy attack in the early stage, the arrival of the sect's immortal-level master suppressed the position, but it was also blocked at the entrance to the sea and could not enter the mainland; in addition, other sects, such as Jiuhuashan Jiuzang Temple, Zhejiang
Putuo Mountain and others were all severely attacked or ambushed by the demon nests they attacked, with varying losses, but none of them were able to destroy the demon nests;
Only the team led by the Chongyang Sect defeated the local demon lords in the battle due to the great power of Fairy Han'e and other masters, thus breaking the siege of the demons and expelling the demons from their original lairs. However, they were not strong enough to exterminate them.
The demon here also won a rare victory.
The Southeastern cultivation sects were unable to encircle and suppress themselves, but instead fell into a big crisis. You must know that although the troops they sent this time did not include the top combat power of the sect, they were still considered the main force, and almost all of them were led by the leader or the person in charge of the sect.
Falling into the hands of demons would be a huge blow to these sects, and even the entire world of cultivation would probably be thrown into turmoil as a result.
Faced with such a critical situation, the cultivator sects in other places, while gloating about the misfortune, had to put themselves in another's shoes and finally came to the conclusion: If these sects were really defeated by demons, it would leave a large gap in the division of power in the cultivation world and flow out to other sects.
There is room for expansion and rise, but the demon side will also become more powerful because of this, and they may take the opportunity to invade other territories in the human world or even take the initiative to attack territories controlled by other cultivation sects.
Once this happens, I am afraid that other sects will not wait to enjoy the benefits brought by the weakening of the strength of the southeastern sects, but will first realize the negative consequences it brings - the terror of the demon army is not only the power of its top demons, but also a greater threat.
It lies in the tyranny of its ordinary arms and the harm it does to the environment and mortals. Once the demon army is allowed to operate freely in the control areas of other sects, it will severely damage the reserve strength and potential of other sects and damage their reputation. This must not be allowed.
.
After weighing the pros and cons, each sect still cannot sit idly by as the situation worsens because intelligence indicates that affected by the massive attack by southeastern demons, the demons in various places have shown an unstable trend and large-scale wars may break out at any time;
Faced with such a situation, the major sects in China headed by Kunlun and Kongtong finally dispatched a large number of troops south to reinforce, with the intention of calming down the war and stabilizing the situation before all-out war breaks out across China.
As soon as a strong man takes action, he will know whether there is anyone. Now that he has made up his mind, each sect naturally sends out the strongest force. Among them, there are actually two immortals and the Master of Returning to the Void holding the sect's treasure. There are as many as ten people. They plan to fight quickly.
.Everywhere they go, they are all led by masters who use their thunderous power to destroy the demons, and then kill other demon lords and demon leaders in turn. When these leading demons and strong men die, the demon army they lead will collapse.
For fear.
Under this thunderous offensive, countless demon groups collapsed wherever the cultivators' army passed, and dozens of demon lairs were destroyed. Except for a very small number of demon lords encountered who had special abilities or were extremely powerful and managed to escape, all of them were killed.
destroy.
Among the thirteen demon lords in the southeast, the giant ape lord fought to the death and was eventually blasted into powder by a Zifu secret thunder from Kunlun sect Xuanzhen Taoist;
Because the Leopard King had no time to escape, he was cut into two halves by the Kongtong sect Chiming Zhenren with his sword, and his body and spirit were both destroyed.
The evil-eyed tyrant, with his keen eyes and ears, discovered early that the enemy was unstoppable and was the first to flee. The Sound Nest Lord followed him and hid together with the other two;
After Nibogen lost two-thirds of his men's combat effectiveness, he was finally defeated. His protective magic shield was broken by more than a dozen magic weapons. He was seriously injured and vomited blood. He was hugged by Isula who used the secret method of "teleportation" of the demon spirit clan.
Escape by cutting through space;
After sensing the strength of the cultivator's reinforcements from a distance, Mecanshute also wanted to retreat. Yu Longzi said a few polite words and then walked away, leaving only a phantom in place. But You Longzi didn't know why.
He had no intention of forcing him to leave. Jian Wuchen was naturally happy to see this great enemy leave, and then he followed You Longzi to save the crisis of "Wan Shan Guixu". After repelling the siege of the demon, he joined You Long.
Along with him, he was unanimously praised by the surviving cultivators in "Ten Thousand Mountains Return to Ruins" and gained a lot of favors and karma.
Aludiba was the luckiest and escaped through the "space crystal" early. Until the army of cultivators swept across the Middle-earth China, there was no natural escape. The Black Evil Lord and Hasas also mysteriously disappeared in the subsequent battles.
He disappeared without a trace. Seeing the bad opportunity, Zhang Sixie also led his troops to withdraw before the arrival of reinforcements from the Right Way.
In addition, all the well-known demon lords and strong men in the southeast have all fallen and no one has been spared! The expected goal of encirclement and suppression has finally been roughly completed. What is left is to use the remaining power of the victory to wipe out all the demons and restore peace to the world. Although I don’t know about this "replacing the human world"
What is the date of "Taiping"? But it is indeed inspiring to match the momentum of the victory.
But before the cultivators from all factions could celebrate the victory of this war, they received news that the demons were unwilling to fail and had recruited more powerful men from the demon world to come back.
This is nothing. After all, cultivators from all factions also vaguely know that the strength of the demon side is not only that there is a stronger existence behind it, but they will never collapse. On the contrary, this failure will further stimulate the power behind the demon side and make them
Increase the strength of the demon army sent to the human world to save the shame of failure.
If the return of demons is not surprising, then another piece of news is even more shocking. The Black Witch Cult, which was forced to move overseas thousands of years ago, has reappeared in Middle-earth and is actually in contact with the Demon Cult.
The factions are at war!
The entire cultivation world was shocked by this shocking news and was in an uproar. Everyone was speculating on the reason and purpose of the Black Witch Cult's return to China. Various speculations continued to emerge. Some said that the Black Witch Cult wanted to take advantage of the chaos in China to fish in troubled waters and regain what they had lost.
territory; some say that the Black Witch Cult responded to the secret invitation from the top sect of the Righteous Way and promised to let them return to the China of Middle-earth on the condition that they unite to deal with the Demonic Way; others say that the Black Witch Cult secretly built plank roads to make Chen Cang secretly cooperate with
In fact, the battle between demons and demons secretly colludes with demons and demons to confuse the world of cultivation and plot evil.
In short, various inferences, rumors, hearsay, etc. are emerging one after another. Each one is said with nose and eyes, as if it was seen by someone with their own eyes. For a while, the news of the return of the Black Witch Cult to China actually surpassed the news of the return of the demon. In this case
Naturally, no one will notice that the powerful demons in the entire China have begun to gather in a certain desolate and barren area; at the same time, the frequency of space cracks has greatly increased. Tens of millions of fierce demons have descended on the world and are looking for places to hide and disappear.
"Why on earth is this? Why did the Black Witch Cult dare to break thousands of years of taboos and come to Middle-earth and start a fight with the demon sect?" After the battle to encircle and suppress the demons, the heads and elders of the righteous cultivation sects gathered together.
Discussing matters in the meeting hall of the Taiqing Hall of the Shushan Sect. During the discussion, Xiang Tiannan was the first to ask questions.
"The Black Witch Cult has been away from the mainland for thousands of years. It suddenly appears again and the timing of its appearance is so sensitive. It is indeed suspicious that it has not been announced." Li Xuanji, the leader of Tianshi Dao, also said, "But they are not coming for us.
Instead, they started fighting with the demonic sect as soon as they arrived. This is actually beneficial to us. I think we don’t have to worry so much about pretending to be facing a formidable enemy. Fellow Taoist Xiang seems to be too sensitive. Do you know the inside story?"
After speaking, Li Xuanji glanced at Xiang Tiannan with a faint smile on his face, but his tone was very strange, as if he suspected that the Shushan sect was hiding something.
The disputes and conflicts between Tianshi Dao and Shushan Sect have been an open secret in the world of cultivation, so no one of the heads of the various sects here would be surprised that Li Xuanji targeted Xiang Tiannan. However, there are indeed a few things Li Xuanji said.
It makes sense, so when he finished speaking, everyone looked at Xiang Tiannan with an inquiring look in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Li was joking. With the abilities of fellow Taoists, you will naturally know that our sect does not have much ability in intelligence, so how can you know this so-called 'inside information'?"
He didn't care but said something modestly and then changed the subject and said:
"However, there are too many strange things about this matter. Now the situation in the world has been decided. The demons in various places have suffered heavy losses and are unwilling to fail. Now they have gathered their troops and intend to make a comeback. There are also demons who are secretly watching from the side with unpredictable thoughts. In this troubled year, there is a black witch sect entering the mainland again.
It has added a lot of variables to the situation. The sects you belong to are the pillars of my righteousness, and they have suffered a lot of losses in the battle just now and have not yet recovered. They cannot bear the trouble. Once the Black Witch Cult changes, their strength will definitely cause big waves. It is really unacceptable.
Don’t be defensive!”
Xiang Tiannan had a serious look on his face and made a gesture of paying attention to the overall situation and thinking about everyone, which actually won many people's secret nods and some resonance with his statement.
"It's just an excuse. Who among you doesn't know that it was your Shushan sect that was the most active in expelling the Black Witch Cult from Middle-earth and fighting for it! Isn't it for occupying the Black Witch Cult's vast territory and resources in Western Shu?
In that battle, you Shushan Sect Sword Immortal had no idea how much blood the Black Witch Cult wizards had in your hands. The Black Witch Cult has long since classified you as the enemy of life and death! This time when they return to the mainland, you, the number one enemy, are naturally the most nervous. In the past, you were the most nervous.
The enemies of the year are here, and they are probably here to collect debts. You can't bear to ignore it. It's really a good idea to drag us into the water to share the pressure for your Shushan faction!" Li Xuanji thought this in his heart, but his tone did not reveal it at all and remained gentle.
said with a smile
"Think more about it, fellow Taoist. The Black Witch Cult has survived overseas for thousands of years. It is located in remote and remote areas. The indigenous people are barbaric and uncivilized, and their spiritual energy is insufficient. In addition, a large number of classics and masters were lost in the wars in the past.
Even with the current strength, I am afraid that it is not as good as any of the sects here. Even if there is a threat, it will not be fatal. In contrast, the demon side is ambitious, and behind it is the demon god of the demon world and a stronger existence to support the army. It is numerous, advanced, cruel and bloodthirsty, and we humans are
They are our life and death enemies because they have caused huge harm to the world for food! Even if we have to pay attention, I think we should choose the monsters that pose the greatest threat to us."
After saying that, he glanced at Xiang Tiannan mockingly and added, "Of course, the threat I am referring to is to the entire human world and the world of righteous cultivation. If it is specific to a certain sect, it might really be the Black Witch Sect.
The threat is greater, no wonder some people can’t sit still.”
Everyone here is a high-ranking member of the sect and naturally knows something about the grievances between the Shushan Sect and the Black Witch Cult in the past. Li Xuanji immediately recalled this information. Moreover, although what Li Xuanji said was slightly biased, it was true.
What they say is very reasonable considering the overall situation. Compared with the incomprehensible Black Witch Cult, the demons who intend to conquer the world and enslave mankind are indeed a much greater threat. At this moment, the Shushan Sect requires everyone to focus on
It does seem a bit too much to place the black witch's body without distinguishing between friend and foe. Thinking of this, the looks that other people looked at Xiang Tiannan became even weirder.
Seeing the weird looks in his eyes, Xiang Tiannan immediately realized that he was a little confused because of the secret news that had just been sent from the sect. He lost his words. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger and impatience in his heart.
Apologizing: "Fellow Taoist Li Dao, you are right. Pindao did lose some control due to the great pressure in fighting the demons. Please forgive me."
After saying that, he bowed his hand to Li Xuanji and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for reminding me, otherwise I would have made a big mistake."
