Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 178: Fierce Battle at the Valley Mouth

On the south side of the valley, Luo Jin led the group outside the formation. A figure flashed out from inside and shouted, "Who are you, Senior? What brings you here so many fellow Taoists so late at night? What brings you here?"

Luo Jin didn't answer, but waved his hand and said coldly: "Go."

The several teams ordered to be the front, totaling more than one hundred cultivators, had to rush forward and enter the coverage of the formation. Seeing this, the Crescent Moon Sect disciple who came out to shout hurriedly fled back.

Above the valley, the fiery red clouds were like boiling magma. As soon as everyone entered, they were immediately attacked by the formation restrictions. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up around them, and huge wind blades shot out from the clouds, attacking everyone like an overwhelming force, with an overwhelming momentum.

Everyone was worried and had already clenched their magic weapons in their hands. When they saw the forbidden attack coming, their faces changed drastically. They shouted to form a group to protect themselves, and various shouts came one after another.

Hundreds of huge wind blades slashed at the defensive spells and magic weapons condensed by the crowd, and there was a huge sound of metal hitting stone. Under such intensive attacks, from a distance, it looked as if several huge storms were sweeping across the crowd.

After finally withstanding the first round of forbidden attacks, before he could catch his breath, the second round of forbidden attacks had already come.

It was like a volcanic eruption, with the fiery red clouds surging and the condensed fire dragon roaring like a long waterfall.

Various magical weapons shone brightly. After the wind blade attack just now, everyone was no longer passively defending. Some teams had already taken the initiative to meet the attack from the formation restriction.

However, due to the lack of effective communication and cooperation among the teams, some teams chose to partially defend and partially attack, while some teams still relied on passive defense.

Dozens of fire dragons destroyed everyone's attacks with unstoppable force and attacked everyone.

Screams rang out one after another in the crowd. This wave of forbidden attacks immediately took the lives of several people.

After finally blocking the second wave of attacks, the third wave of forbidden attacks has already been launched.

.........

As the team suffered more and more casualties, morale gradually collapsed. Two monks whose spiritual energy was almost exhausted saw that the situation was not good and turned back to flee, intending to escape from the formation.

They knew that if they went any further, their remaining spiritual power would definitely not be able to withstand the next wave of restricted attacks, and they would surely die.

Although Luo Jin was guarding outside the formation, they still held on to a glimmer of hope.

The two men ran all the way and finally escaped from the coverage of the formation. Before they had time to rejoice, they saw a flash of golden light. The next moment, several golden rays of light passed through their bodies, shooting several holes in their bodies.

Luo Jin put away the golden mirror in his hand with an expressionless face. His voice was as cold as a knife: "Anyone who escapes without permission will be killed."

Inside the formation, everyone was secretly observing the two men. Seeing them being killed on the spot, everyone was horrified. Knowing there was no way to retreat, they all gritted their teeth and continued to move forward.

If so many people escaped from the formation, Luo Jin alone would certainly not be able to stop them. However, they were not subordinate to each other, did not have much friendship with each other, and were not united, so they all wanted others to be the first to take action.

Secondly, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. Everyone's property is in Bianxi City. It would be easy for Luoyun Sect to settle the score later, unless they escape from the formation, abandon their property, become a casual cultivator, and wander around the world, never returning to Bianxi City.

Since they had to risk being killed by Luo Jin and giving up their family property, they might as well fight to the death. Therefore, everyone stopped hiding their abilities and rushed forward with all their might.

Seeing that everyone had rushed to within two hundred feet of the defensive light curtain condensed by the formation, Luo Jin gave an order and led the rear team into the formation.

Although he had killed two fleeing monks with thunder and lightning before, he stunned everyone.

But they also knew that deterrence was only temporary. At this time, everyone still had some strength left, so they would bite the bullet and move forward. However, if the casualties continued to increase and morale collapsed, the front team would inevitably collapse.

No one can continue to hold on in a situation where death is inevitable. As long as there is a way out, they will choose to escape. At this time, using military law or other threats will be ineffective.

Once a large-scale rout occurs, no one can stop it.

The front team, which had been struggling to hold on, were cheered up when they saw Luo Jin and others enter the formation, and they shouted and rushed forward.

At this time, everyone was in a desperate situation. They had to completely break through the formation to survive, so they rushed forward for their lives.

.........

In the southern part of Rhino Horn Valley, Song Xian and others had already ambushed at the entrance of the valley.

Here, they could see from afar the flashes of lights of various colors in the sky above the valley, and could also hear the continuous rumbling sounds, but they did not know the specific situation of the fighting in the valley.

Everyone had a solemn look on their faces. They didn't know how much time had passed. In the darkness, a figure leaped up to them. It was none other than Yu Lian, who was lying in ambush ahead.

"Master, I saw quite a few people fleeing here, but I couldn't see exactly how many there were."

"Everyone get ready." Song Xian's heart tightened and he ordered in a deep voice.

Soon, a flying magic weapon was seen coming from the direction of the valley not far away.

"Fellow Daoist Xu. Senior Luo asked us to guard the valley entrance and intercept any disciples who escape from here. Should we chase after those who leave on flying magic tools?" Song Xian looked at the Luoyun Sect disciple standing beside him and asked in a low voice.

The disciple narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment: "No, let him go! We only need to deal with those on foot. There's no need to disperse our forces."

"Okay, then let's do as Fellow Daoist Xu says."

Three flying magic weapons flew over the sky one after another, and then the fleeing enemy troops appeared in front.

"Go." Song Xian gave an order and led everyone out of the hidden ambush. Without saying a word, he launched an attack directly.

What he held was a long green ruler named Junjie Ruler, which was a relic of Wang Puqing from the Water Curtain Cave. It had forty-four layers of restrictions and was considered a top-grade magic weapon even among the best ones.

The Jun Ring Ruler shone brightly, and Song Xian's spiritual power poured into it. With the power of the twelve layers of restrictions, it condensed into a phantom of seven or eight feet in size, and slashed down at the person in front.

……

"There was an ambush."

"Everyone, be careful."

"Fight them."

"Go away."

Seeing everyone jumping out from the side, the fleeing disciples were shocked and angry, and shouted loudly.

There were not a few people in this group, more than a dozen or so, but their cultivation was not high. There was only one cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and the rest were at the middle stage of Qi Refining and the early stage of Weapon Refining.

Because of his low level of cultivation, he had no flying magic weapon and could only escape on foot.

Seeing Song Xian and others blocking the road, they were all shocked and angry, but instead of fleeing like headless flies, they rushed towards the crowd.

Because the valley's formation had been broken, if they didn't flee now, they would be attacked from both sides by the pursuing troops in the valley, leaving them with no chance of survival. So, they all rushed forward with red eyes. The leader was the seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator. Seeing Song Xian's magical weapon coming, the talisman he held tightly in his hand immediately activated, forming a dark green water shield around him.

Jun Jieji slashed on the water shield without any sound. Only the water shield condensed around him shook violently.

"Master, be careful." At this time, Zhang Yi on the side suddenly shouted.

Three black balls shot out from the other side. Song Xian quickly stepped back. The black balls exploded with a bang, and a large amount of black mist filled the air in an instant.

Song Xian inhaled only a little bit through his nose and immediately felt dizzy and swollen. He quickly took out a detoxification pill from his storage bag and put it in his mouth.

"Everyone be careful, this mist is poisonous."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud explosion from the right, and two gorgeous red flower buds came towards him. They were stopped by Zhong Wenyuan's magic weapon halfway, and the flowers exploded, causing bursts of sparks to fly.

On the left side, Zhang Yi also blocked the magical weapon attack of another cultivator for him. The two cultivators' magical weapons collided, and the sound of metal hitting stone was heard.

Perhaps it was because the purple Hunyuan Sect uniform on his body was too conspicuous, and he was in front of everyone, so the other party could see at a glance that he was the leader of the group. Thinking of capturing the leader first, they attacked him with all kinds of magic.

After Zhong Wenyuan and Zhang Yi blocked the attacks from his left and right sides respectively, the leading cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining also launched a magic attack towards him.

Suddenly, a stone claw as big as a meter stretched out from the ground and grabbed him.

The golden talisman in Song Xian's hand glowed and formed a golden light shield around him.

The five fingers of the stone claw opened and hit the golden shield. There was a loud noise, and the golden shield only shook slightly.

Seeing that all the attacks from the other side were coming towards him, Song Xian immediately realized that he had become a thorn in the eyes of this group of people, and hurriedly retreated to avoid the sharp edge for the time being.

"Don't let this group of people leave." The Luoyun Sect disciple at the back shouted loudly.

He also held a magic weapon in his hand, but he was just pretending and did not launch an attack.

When Song Xian saw him, he immediately got furious. Damn it, this guy was the loudest shouter, but he was actually a useless figure, all show and no substance. He hid far behind the crowd like a military supervisor, so he yelled at him, "Friend Xu, we are now in the same boat. The enemy will not show any mercy just because you are a disciple of the Luoyun Sect."

The Luoyun Sect disciple's face flushed, and he glared at him angrily. Song Xian couldn't care less about that now: "Fellow Daoist, either leave now, or help us deal with these people. We don't need a military supervisor."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to this person, and launched another attack with his magic weapon, condensing it into a huge green ruler phantom to attack the seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator.

When he retreated just now, the other party did not pursue him further, but turned around to deal with Zhong Wenyuan.

Zhong Wenyuan was also holding a top-grade magical weapon, the sect's Ruyi Spear.

Facing the attack from two enemies, he remained calm and showed no sign of weakness. The phantom condensed by the Ruyi Spear in his hand immediately shattered the giant claw condensed by the enemy's seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator, and with the remaining power, he stabbed at the opponent.

On the other side, he took out another red talisman, which turned into a six-foot-long fire snake and attacked another cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

At this point, both sides had already engaged in combat, with magical weapons and spells flying back and forth, creating chaos.

In such a chaotic situation, you need to be extra careful and keep your eyes and ears open to guard against sudden attacks from others.

Around Song Xian, several 'veterans' of the Hunyuan Sect surrounded him, with him as the center.

On his left are Zhang Yi, Lu Yuan, and Zhang Ningyuan, and on his right is Zhong Wenyuan.

Although several people were surrounding him, they might not be able to take care of him all the time.

Because there were also many enemies coming towards him.

And further away, Lin Quan, Yu Lian, Zhang Yang and others were also engaging in close combat with the enemy, divided into several small groups of three or four people, or five or six people.

Let’s talk about the battle on Song Xian’s side. Zhong Wenyuan’s Ruyi Spear was aimed at the opponent. The cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining put his hands together, and three huge golden gates condensed in front of him.

This is a high-level gold-based magic, a golden triple shield.

The outermost layer is only two feet high, the middle layer is four or five feet high, and the last layer is seven or eight feet high.

The Ruyi Spear smashed the first layer of the golden gate like a hot knife through butter, barely broke the second layer, and was already shaky when it hit the third layer, and shattered on the last touch.

Before the man could catch his breath, the magic weapon attack launched by Song Xian had already arrived. This time he directly activated the power of twenty levels of restrictions, and the attack of Jun Jiechi reached fifty points.

Under his observation with the Eye of Truth, he found that the man at the seventh level of Qi Refining had three spiritual roots, possessing spiritual roots of the three attributes of gold, water, and earth, and a spiritual power of sixty points.

After this fight, his spiritual power was greatly depleted, and now it was only 17 points. It seemed that he had already consumed some of his spiritual power when fighting with others in the valley, and his condition was not full.

The defense power of the last layer of the golden triple shield is as high as thirty points.

It has to be said that the man is quite powerful and is a formidable opponent. Not only has his cultivation reached the late stage of Qi Refining, but he also has a high level of mastery of various spells. Spells like the stone claws and the triple golden shield are both high-level spells. Judging from their power, even if they have not been fully mastered, they have at least reached an advanced stage.

If it were a one-on-one fight, Song Xian would definitely not be this person's opponent. Even with the help of a top-grade magic weapon, he might not be able to defeat this person.

Jun Jieji slashed down and hit the golden shield. With a loud bang, a crack appeared on the golden shield.

Song Xian controlled the Jun Jie ruler and slashed down repeatedly, destroying the golden shield with just a few attacks.

The man had no choice but to draw the black long sword from his waist, infuse it with spiritual energy, and face the green ruler.

Although his cultivation was not low, he was not wealthy, and the magic weapon he carried with him was only a mid-grade one, so he did not take it out to fight the enemy at the beginning.

The other party used top-grade magic weapons, and he was definitely no match for them in a head-on confrontation with a mid-grade magic weapon, so he wanted to use the magic he was good at to consume as much of the other party's spiritual power as possible.

After using a few spells, there was not much spiritual power left in his body. If he used high-level spells to fight the enemy, his spiritual power would soon be exhausted.

In fact, his high-level magic is far more powerful than magic weapons, but it also consumes more energy.

The spiritual power consumption of spells is fixed. For example, the golden triple shield consumes as much as fifteen points of spiritual power at one time.

However, magic weapons can use spiritual power according to the situation, so there is no need to use so much spiritual power at once.

The black long sword and the green long ruler collided, and the green light and the black light reflected each other.

Song Xian had very little spiritual power left in his body at this time, only twenty points. In such a chaotic situation, he did not dare to use up all the spiritual power in his body at once.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, a scream was heard from the side. A cultivator fell down in pain, holding his chest. A sharp blade pierced his chest. It was Lu Yuan who killed a cultivator.
