Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2298 Sharpening the Gun in Battle
Jin Ge Zhenxian's attacks were exceptionally sharp and unstoppable.

Fortunately, there were countless tree species around, and many of them were willing to use their bodies to help the mother tree defend against attacks.

Countless tree-like beings rushed forward to block the gun emplacements, gradually reducing the power and speed of the golden light.

Some tree-like beings even used magic to intercept the golden light—not hoping it would be effective, but only hoping to buy them a little time.

If the golden light continues to weaken like this, it's basically impossible for it to damage the central, emerging tree root.

However, Jin Ge was no fool. He unleashed a golden beam and then teleported, before unleashing another golden beam.

The main idea is to do whatever you want, focusing on the process rather than the result.

However, none of the tree-folk noticed that a black broken sword quietly appeared in space wherever he went.

The color of the broken sword is perfect for concealment in space, not to mention it's at the Out-of-Body level.

This is the battle plan negotiated by the trio: Qu Jianlei will enter Min Ning's cave, while Jin Ge will take Qu Lingzhu's cave.

It appears to be a two-person attack, but in reality, it's from four directions.

After Jin Ge launched his attack, Min Ning also made his move.

With a wave of his hand, a vast white net appeared in the space, stretching endlessly and covering the enormous forest alien race.

Judging from the color, it's somewhat similar to the previous area, except that before it was a field, and now it's a net.

"He's up to all this fancy stuff again," Jin Ge Zhenxian's lips twitched as he looked at him. "That guy!"

Minning Zhenzun has a really bad reputation in this respect; he loves to play petty tricks and is unwilling to put in any effort.

However, Jin Ge Zhenxian knew this, but the Tree Clan did not, right?
Seeing such a massive net, many tree-folk couldn't help but try to dodge it, as this thing was really unfriendly to them.

The tree race has many branches, and their most effective attack, the black lines, doesn't do much damage to the net—it's full of holes!
Most importantly, once caught in the net, the net is light and weak, making it difficult to break free.

However, if the tree race wants to evade, they have to consider one more thing—what will happen to the mother tree if they leave?
They are all direct descendants of the mother tree, they certainly can't just run away like that, but this scene...

The next moment, Venerable Minning made another hand seal, and the net that filled the sky instantly turned from white to red and burst into flames!
Seeing this, Jin Ge Zhenxian was so angry that he wanted to stop, "If you keep playing like this, just you wait!"

He could tell that these were all just fancy illusions played by Min Ning, meant to scare people!
The white net and the red net are essentially the same; they are just disguised as a fire net because the tree tribe is afraid of fire.

To Jin Ge's surprise, the fire net was really effective, and the tree race couldn't help but panic.

Several relatively clear-headed Tree Clan Nascent Soul cultivators already knew that Min Ning was behind it, and they charged straight at him.

Minning Zhenzun raised his hand, "Hurry!"

Several crisscrossing sword energies were unleashed, directly slicing the three Nascent Soul Tree Clan members into several pieces, leaving not even a remnant soul behind.

This is his true level of control over the sword intent!

Jin Ge Zhenxian was a bit dumbfounded. "Could it be that what Xiao Qu said was true, and there was something wrong with the sword intent before?"

His thoughts were already a little confused, but that didn't stop him from continuing to control the golden light and slash back and forth.

The next moment, a huge broken sword emerged and slashed fiercely down at the vast forest in front of it.

The power of the broken blade is no less than that of the golden light and the blade energy, and its momentum is even stronger.

After several swift strikes, the tree tribe suffered heavy losses, with countless branches and fragments flying everywhere.

Unfortunately, the tree-like creatures' bodies are too hard, and the Broken Blade, which is not known for its sharpness, cannot cut all the tree-like creatures in two.

However, even those tree-like creatures that were not severed would have their souls and bodies damaged by the evil energy, leaving them either dead or crippled.

Do you really think that the broken blade's absorption of the killing rules was just a free fusion?

At the same time, regardless of whether the tree-like creatures were broken or not, they were all knocked off balance and their formation was thrown into chaos.

What's rare is that Jin Ge is stirring up trouble again: "Knives, all of them are knives, let's form a Three Talents Knife Formation!"

This was a completely unexpected surprise; the previous battle plan was just a rough outline.

As for the details... there's no way to prepare for them. There are too many unexpected things on the battlefield. Just follow the general tactics.

Anyway, they're all old ghosts who've lived for ages, and none of them lack the ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

However, it wasn't until everyone made their move that Jin Ge Zhenxian realized: "My golden light can also be considered a blade."

As for his belated realization, it's not really that strange; he never considered himself a sword cultivator!
The Sorcerer has handled countless spells and is made of ancient gold essence. He fights purely on instinct and has no sense of self-classification.

Only now did he realize that he basically understood everything about sword cultivation... wasn't that a coincidence?
This is something we have to do, the Three Talents Blade Formation... which he happens to know well!

But Venerable Minning sighed softly, "The three of us, let's form the Three Talents Blade Formation?"
Is this supposed to slay a divided spirit? I've never heard of such a powerful Three Talents Blade Formation before!
Of course, that's not how you should put it. He sighed helplessly, "Do you think the Broken Blade... can form the Three Talents Blade Formation?"

This is a broken divine weapon. Although it may seem so ordinary to someone who has left the body, what divine weapon doesn't have its pride?
Expecting others to cooperate in setting up a sword formation is quite difficult, and... even if the divine weapon agrees, does it know how to form a formation?
"Then why don't we just cooperate with it?" Immortal Jin Ge said nonchalantly, "Let's just let it be the master."

“This is… I have to put in the effort again,” said Minning Zhenzun, feeling frustrated.

Then, he remembered another, more important question: "How is the Three Talents Blade Formation used?"

After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he rarely used the sword formation anymore; he's been out of body for many years now.

Who would have thought that after becoming a Great Venerable, he would still use the Three Talents Blade Formation? Isn't that the kind of move to slay a Divine Soul?

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to use it. You've already reached the Out-of-Body stage, so you can easily deduce a sword formation. But... is it standard enough?
We can only communicate temporarily! There's no other way; cultivators with different lineages naturally have subtle differences in the Three Talents Blade Formation.

Moreover, different levels of understanding lead to different interpretations of formations, resulting in varying degrees of power that can be unleashed.

Anyway, formations need to be practiced and refined. Although they are not difficult for a Grandmaster, there is a process of getting used to them.

He relayed all his ideas to Jin Ge, saying, "...we'll have to cram at the last minute."

“There’s nothing I can do about that,” Jin Ge Zhenxian didn’t find it difficult, but rather a bit ridiculous. “I’ll give you a standard Lingyun Sect sword formation first.”

Most of the sect's teachings are forbidden to be passed on to outsiders, but the Venerable Minning is worshipped and is considered half one of their own.

It doesn't really matter if a basic battle formation is passed on; in fact, if it weren't for this kind of situation, Min Ning wouldn't even bother to look at it.

Jin Ge Zhenxian's move was also to quickly establish the foundation of the Three Talents Blade Formation, so as to save the opponent from having to calculate from scratch and waste time unnecessarily.

"Damn... this is really basic," Min Ning Zhenzun instantly grasped the Three Talents Blade Formation.

Fortunately, Qu Jianlei was unaware of the communication between the two, otherwise it would be hard to say how he would feel.

He almost shaved his head off while researching formations back then.

Minning Zhenzun believed that this formation was too basic and had room for improvement everywhere, so it was very necessary to improve it.

Jin Ge Zhenxian was also speechless. "This is the foundation. We'll just have to modify it as we fight... Damn, we also have to cooperate with that guy!"

Changing battle formations on the eve of battle, coupled with the lack of coordination from the Broken Blade...

Even if a pot of rice is partially cooked, it will still take some time to adjust before it's fully cooked.

Therefore, the Golden Immortal also reduced the lethality of the golden light—using it at full power during the exploration phase would be too wasteful.

But then he became annoyed, "I said, how come your swordsmanship is still so weak?"

"Your brain..." Min Ning was also a little speechless. "Can't I spare a thought to deal with the possible emergence of the soul-dissipating locusts?"

Jin Ge Zhenxian was speechless. It really was true!
At the scene, there was only half of the tree root that had emerged from the body, and there was no mother tree that had emerged from the body in sight, but it was hard to say about the emerging locusts!
This thing is much smaller than the tree race, so if it's hiding in the shadows preparing to launch a sneak attack, it's definitely worth being wary of.

Their attack power wasn't particularly strong, but Duan Dao didn't care about that at all, and continued to strike with unparalleled power, one blow after another.

The three points are a bit unbalanced, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

While the Three Talents Blade Formation emphasizes balance, having one main and two auxiliary formations is also acceptable, depending on whether to sacrifice attack or defense.

Both Grandmasters attacked from a distance and had no need for defense, so they took the opportunity to assist and practice their coordination with Broken Blade.

Jin Ge Zhenxian really went all out, not only cooperating with the Three Talents Blade Formation, but also not forgetting to send out a golden beam to attack the Nascent Soul Mother Tree.

The broken sword seemed completely unaware of the two's coordinated attack, continuing to slash and kill on its own.

However, the lack of change was good news for the two great masters, and they quickly became adept at coordinating their movements.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, and they had killed over 30,000 Tree Clan members.

The two Venerable Ones are taking it easy. Since no unexpected events have occurred and the Mother Tree hasn't made any moves, they'll just slowly wear each other down.

When it comes to patience, who can compare to Awakening?

However, just as the two were continuing to work together, a figure flashed and Qu Jianlei appeared next to Jin Ge Zhenxian.

He nodded. "Ready? You can adjust your position now."

The two Grandmasters and the three points of the Broken Blade were mainly concentrated on one side of the alien forest, and no attack was launched on the other side.

This was the place where Qu Jianlei had gone to operate. The Tree Clan was somewhat wary, but not very vigilant.

Jin Ge Zhenxian nodded and instantly took him away, while simultaneously informing Min Ning Zhenzun with his divine sense.

The two True Venerables' instantaneous teleportation did not alert the Tree Clan, because they had been dodging attacks all along.

They were far enough away from the Tree Clan that the Tree Clan's black line attacks couldn't reach them, but locusts kept flying over fearlessly.

The number of locusts was far greater than that of the tree race.

These insignificant ants would have been crushed with a single thought by the two Great Venerables in the past.

However, they couldn't worry about it right now. Setting up a defense would be a waste of spiritual energy, so they simply dodged back and forth.

The two teleported a little too far apart this time, and the broken sword also retreated abruptly.
