In the outer city, a blurry figure was galloping quickly. Behind him, a group of Benxiao Pavilion warriors were still far away, even if they used all their strength. The people in front did not even use half of their strength.
This person was Zheng Lu, who had just broken through the outer city's defense formation. When he passed through the city gate, he ignored the corpses on the ground because he had a more important mission.
He came from the Tianping Mountains all the way without any delay, but he still had an uneasy feeling lingering in his heart. This inner uneasiness mainly came from the message from the chief priest Kuangzhan, which would make Kuangzhan adopt the method
The method of "messaging thousands of miles" means that something big must happen.
However, Kuangzhan did not explain clearly what happened in the Acropolis. At present, he can only judge that the problem is in the inner city of the Acropolis.
Judging from the current blockade of the acropolis' defense formation, something big is definitely happening in the city, and Zheng Lu's heart has become more and more anxious.
With Zheng Lu's cultivation, if he speeds up at full speed in this outer city, it will inevitably cause unimaginable damage along the way. Therefore, although Zheng Lu is anxious, he still controls his speed and uses the surrounding buildings to
He ran towards the inner city as far as he could bear.
When Zheng Lu rushes past, the surrounding buildings will continue to tremble, and even some wooden buildings will make an overwhelmed "creep" sound.
In just a few breaths of time, Zheng Lu had already crossed a distance of more than ten miles and arrived at the gate of the inner city. He came all the way from the west gate of the outer city, and now he came directly to the west gate of the inner city.
forward.
His face, which was already very gloomy, immediately became even gloomier when he came to the west city gate. Because the situation he least wanted to see was now right in front of him. The entire city wall was completely empty.
Half a human figure.
When he saw the formation ban activated outside the city before, Zheng Lu already knew that the ban was also activated in the inner city. However, he believed that as long as he stood outside the city in person, the people in the city would immediately lift the ban and open up the city.
Door.
No matter what special circumstances occurred in the inner city, they did not dare to shut themselves out. People in the outer city could not unlock the ban, but since someone in the inner city had opened the ban, there must be someone with the ability to activate the formation.
The token. As long as this person uses the token again and the formation is opened, Zheng Lu can enter the city smoothly.
But there is a premise for this, that is, the people in the inner city know that he has arrived. But now facing the empty city wall, Zheng Lu felt his chest feel blocked.
Although it is also a sealing formation, the inner city's defense formation is not only stronger in itself, but also the means of sealing are more thorough. Not only are the spiritual energy and communication methods isolated, but even sounds cannot be transmitted in.
Zheng Lu shouted loudly outside the city before, scaring the city guards so much that they trembled like quails. Now that Zheng Lu is standing here, even if his throat is broken, the people inside can't hear him.
Although he was extremely reluctant, Zheng Lu still slowly raised his fist. As he raised his fist, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced behind him, with a hint of crying on his face.
Even more ugly.
Because he knew that if he punched him, the surrounding buildings would not be able to be saved, and he didn't know how many people would die. There were even those who didn't know whether to live or die, and they were standing on the roofs and walls of their houses, staring blankly at them.
Look here in front of the city gate.
Many people had bad eyesight and only saw a blurry figure standing in front of the city gate, not knowing what was going to happen next.
Just at this moment, figures came speeding towards him. Zheng Lu's expression improved slightly when he saw the visitor, and he slowly spoke to the person who came.
"Drive as many people as possible away from this place, and have two teams of Benxiao Pavilion warriors use the method of imitating beasts, ten feet behind me...hey, let's build a defense from fifteen feet away."
Zheng Lu knew that he couldn't delay any longer, because he didn't know how long it would take to contact the people in the city, and he was even less sure about the current situation in the city. The simplest and most effective way at the moment was to use a simple method like he did outside the city before.
Destroy the city defense formation in a rough way.
However, the inner city is not like the outer city. If you bombard it with all your strength, it will inevitably affect a large area behind you. This is completely destroying a quarter of the outer city with your own hands.
The arrival of everyone from Benxiao Pavilion made Zheng Lu think of a way to preserve the outer city as much as possible, and use Benxiao Pavilion's animal-like method to block the power he unleashed when attacking the city defense formation.
Originally, Zheng Lu wanted to let the warriors of Benxiao Pavilion defend from ten feet away, but after recalculating, he still asked those people to go fifteen feet away.
The closer these Benxiao Pavilion warriors are to each other, the more buildings will naturally be preserved. However, he must also consider the life of the Benxiao Pavilion warriors. So after much hesitation, he chose to let the Benxiao Pavilion warriors retreat directly to fifteen feet.
In addition, to resist the terrifying energy released when attacking the city defense formation.
Hearing Zheng Lu's instructions, Zeng Jiang's eyes twitched. He had already guessed Zheng Lu's plan. He seemed to want to say something, but looking at the high priest Zheng Lu in front of him, he finally chose to leave silently and arrange
The men resisted.
As the small pavilion master of Benxiao Pavilion, Zeng Jiang had some understanding of Zheng Lu's strength. At first, he felt that the inner city defense formation was different from that of the outer city. If it could be preserved, it would be better to preserve it as much as possible.
Another reason is that this distance of fifteen feet is still dangerous for his men. But Zeng Jiang can also see the intensity of the fire. He knows that persuading Zheng Lu at this time is not only useless, but even
It may be counterproductive.
Some of the Benxiao Pavilion warriors under Zheng Lu were sent out to evacuate the people around them. It was said to be evacuation, but in fact it was a violent expulsion. When those people saw the Benxiao Pavilion warriors wearing bronze armor and with ruthless expressions, they did not dare to do anything.
Anyone who resists will be left obediently.
In addition, Zeng Jiang selected ten Benxiao Pavilion warriors. They were divided into two groups and each launched a blood formation fifteen feet away. Zeng Jiang specially selected two teams. The blood formation they launched inspired the Sand Scorpion Beast.
The main reason for the imitating beast is that the defensive power of this imitating beast is stronger.
Seeing that his men were well prepared, Zheng Lu began to gather strength. This time he did not test it, but directly released the huge spiritual energy. Using the formations contained in his outer clothes, he began to condense waves of fire, which converged into his own body.
above the arms.
Zeng Jiang, who was observing from a distance, narrowed his pupils slightly. He had already seen that the power Zheng Lu used this time was even stronger than when he was in the outer city before.
Shocked in his heart, he immediately turned towards the two teams of Benxiao Pavilion warriors who activated the blood formation to imitate the beasts, and shouted: "Everyone, activate your strongest defense and use scorpion pincers to protect yourself."
Originally, Zheng Lu asked everyone to open their scorpion pincers to protect the surrounding buildings. But now he felt that his subordinates must first consider protecting themselves.
The fire wave condensed rapidly, and it took only a few breaths to condense on his fists. Zheng Lu raised his eyebrows, and then punched out with his right fist. There was almost no pause between the two fists. When the right fist was retracted, the left fist
The fist then landed on the formation barrier.
Just like before in front of the protective formation in the outer city, the power of the two punches exploded at one point, and at the same time, a huge scorching fireball was released at that point.
Where Zheng Lu was, a tsunami of angry flames swept across, and the surrounding buildings were swallowed up in an instant and turned into ashes. The waves of fire were barely stopped until they hit the bodies of two sand scorpion beast mimics.
.
The sand scorpion beast's figure immediately became a little unstable, and then it staggered backwards, and even fine cracks appeared on the scorpion's pincers.
After a while, the flames dissipated, revealing Zheng Lu's unharmed figure, and the cracks on the formation barrier were slowly being repaired.
Previously, with this method, the formation in the outer city was directly destroyed, but now after using more powerful force, it only caused cracks in the formation. Seeing such a scene, Zheng Lu's face became even more gloomy.
…
In the inner city, wrapped in black mist, the only ones who did not really participate in the battle were Shen Ji and Zuo Feng. Shen Ji was constantly absorbing the energy in the blood array, while Zuo Feng was doing his best to help her refine the blood array, just like the battle in the outside world.
Nothing to do with them in general.
In fact, Zuo Feng was very anxious in his heart, because he was different from Shen Ji. Shen Ji, who was absorbing the power of the blood array, had entered a deep practice that was almost dormant. It was not that Shen Ji didn't want to pay attention to the fighting in the outside world.
But she knew very well that if she wanted to solve the crisis at hand, she must complete the energy absorption as soon as possible.
But for Shen Ji, there is another thing that is more embarrassing, that is, the absorption of the blood array is constantly making it stronger. He can even feel that his own bloodline is constantly growing, but the problem is that this growth,
She didn't know what kind of changes it would bring, or what kind of abilities it would give her.
But facing the situation before us, everyone could only gamble, or in other words, everyone chose to believe in Zuo Feng's judgment and at the same time believe in Shen Ji's ability.
Slightly different from Shen Ji, although Zuo Feng was helping him refine the blood formation, he was very aware of the fighting situation around him. He could sense that the people around him were being forced to retreat continuously by the opponent.
Even with Xing Yezui and the five-man team of trading warriors charging madly in the black mist, they still could not stop the continuous attacks of a large number of warriors and monsters.
Even though Blizzard temporarily gained the cultivation level of the Concentration Stage, he was unable to kill or seriously injure the cunning Linhu and Boka. And these two people are now like hungry beasts, constantly surrounding their powerful prey.
Trying desperately.
Faced with this situation, Blizzard's main focus can only be on dealing with Boca and Linhu, but cannot take care of other parts of the battlefield.
At a certain moment, Zuo Feng's body trembled slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look in a certain direction, where a trading martial artist had just been killed. This was a signal to Zuo Feng that the defensive formation might need to be supported.
