Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 220: Fierce Battle at Tianshan

In the majestic hall of Tianshan Sect, Helian Quan has summoned all the monks stationed at the mountain gate.

He just waited until the formation's restrictions had almost eliminated the invaders, and then he would personally strike back and give them the final blow.

What happened tonight made him feel very uneasy. First, Luofeng Valley was attacked, and he had just sent some elite troops to support Luofeng Valley. Unexpectedly, Chen Yunlong and Hunyuan Sect would join forces to attack the city.

Obviously, this was premeditated.

But fortunately, they did not obtain the support of the Beast Taming Sect. With only dozens of them, it was impossible to capture this second-level medium-grade formation.

This time, we must completely eradicate the threat posed by Chen Yunlong, and the Hunyuan Sect actually dared to attack us.

After this incident, it must be completely eradicated in Bianxia Town.

He was thinking hatefully in his heart when suddenly a loud noise was heard and the whole hall seemed to shake.

"What's going on?" Helian Quan's face changed and he asked in a stern voice.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"Boss, it's bad. The formation has been destroyed and the magic has become ineffective." A monk from the Muhe grassland hurried in from outside and said in panic.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone's face was filled with shock and anger.

"How could the formation be destroyed?"

"Who did it? Isn't there someone guarding the formation?"

"What should we do now? Without the formation, how can we resist Chen Yunlong and the Hunyuan Sect?"

"This was premeditated. There must be a traitor colluding with Chen Yunlong to sabotage the formation from within."

All the leaders in the hall were horrified and started talking to each other.

Helian Quan could no longer sit still, and suddenly stood up and walked outside. He saw that not far away, the defensive light curtain condensed by the formation had shattered.

"Report to the boss, Harry San led his men to suddenly attack the altar and destroyed the formation flag." At the southwest altar, a Muhe grassland monk came running over and reported with a panicked look on his face.

"Harrisan, how could he?" Helian Quan was stunned, then gritted his teeth.

Harry San was also a monk from the Muhe Grassland and had been promoted by him. Unexpectedly, he had been bribed by Chen Yunlong long ago and actually turned against him at this critical moment, destroying the formation.

The location of the formation is an important protected place of the sect. Ordinary people cannot get close to it. There are monks guarding outside. Harrysan is the person responsible for guarding the safety of the formation outside. He actually turned against them, which no one expected.

Everyone looked at each other in panic, and at that moment, Chen Yunlong and others appeared in the distance, rushing towards them.

A trace of determination and ruthlessness flashed in Helian Quan's eyes, and he shouted sternly: "Chen Yunlong colluded with foreign enemies and killed our brothers. His crime is unforgivable. Today I will take his head and avenge my deceased wife. Brothers, follow me to kill Chen Yunlong and guard the mountain gate."

Even without the grand formation, the outcome is still uncertain. But if he escapes from Tianshan at this time, those neutral factions and fence-sitters will surely turn to Chen Yunlong. Once he loses power, it will be difficult to recover, and he can only fight to the death.

"Kill Chen Yunlong and guard the mountain gate."

Helian Quan's confidant immediately joined in the shouting, and also led others to shout.

"Brothers, follow me." After Helian Quan said this, he took out a magic weapon in his hand and went towards Chen Yunlong and others who were coming towards him.

The two sides are getting closer.

"Chen Yunlong, you bastard, you harmed my wife and now you are colluding with foreign enemies. I will take your life." Helian Quan gritted his teeth and shouted loudly. The black gold staff in his hand shone brightly and condensed into a huge shadow that smashed down at him.

"Listen, brothers. Helian Quan took advantage of my absence to rebel against the sect. The Beastmaster Sect has decided to fully support me in taking back Tianshan, so it has sent the Hunyuan Sect to help. Now, as long as there is anyone who stops and no longer helps Helian Quan, I promise to forgive him." Chen Yunlong did not show any weakness and shouted loudly. The Vajra Umbrella in his hand also shone brightly, condensing into a phantom several feet in size to resist the attack of the black gold staff.

"Those who give up resistance and remain neutral will be forgiven for their past mistakes."

The people following Chen Yunlong shouted in unison, and the momentum was quite strong.

With a loud "bang", the black gold staff hit the Vajra Umbrella, and the lights of the two intertwined, making it difficult to tell the difference.

"You bastard, I will kill you today." Helian Quan cursed loudly and took out a black talisman in his hand. As the talisman shone brightly, it condensed into a big bird covered in black flames.

Chen Yunlong's expression changed slightly when he saw this. Although he didn't know the name of the talisman used by Helian Quan, he could tell from the aura that it was a second-grade mid-grade talisman.

He then took out a second-grade, low-grade golden body talisman from his sleeve. As spiritual power poured in, the talisman shone with golden light. Countless golden lights gathered around him, condensing into a golden light shield, protecting him inside.

When the two men fought, the troops from both sides also fought together.

On the left side of Helian Quan was a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage, holding a green long sword, which condensed into a meter-high shadow and slashed towards Chen Yunlong.

It was blocked by the red sword of a man beside him, and the swords collided, making a sound like metal clashing with stone.

A man behind Chen Yunlong shot out three silver needles from his hand, stabbing at Helian Quan, but they were also blocked by the giant axe of the man next to him.

The two sides fought each other in a chaotic scene.

...............

"Zhirou, follow me closely." Song Xian, who had been observing the situation outside the formation, saw that the two sides had already started fighting. He no longer hesitated and whispered instructions to Su Zhirou beside him. Then he gave an order and led everyone from Hunyuan Sect into the mountain gate.

"Senior Brother Zixiang, Senior Brother Lu Yuan, Senior Brother Lin Quan, you will follow me to take down Helian Quan later. Act according to the plan." Everyone rushed towards the warring parties, and Song Xian whispered instructions to the people around him.

Lin Zixiang, Lu Yuan, Lin Quan, and Su Zhirou are all cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining. They are the strongest fighting force in the sect at present, and they all surround him.

"Yes." The three of them answered in unison.

As they got closer to the battlefield, Song Xian took out a three-foot black ruler with intricate patterns in his hand. It was called the Xuan Guang Ruler and had forty-five layers of restrictions.

This is one of the two top-grade magic weapons obtained in the water curtain cave in the second-level spirit pool.

There is also a defensive magic weapon called Xuanluo Bell, which is in Su Zhirou's hand.

At this time, the battle between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage. The golden light shield condensed by Chen Yunlong's second-grade low-grade talisman has been burning with black flames under the attack of the black evil fire bird. It seems that it can't hold on for much longer.

There are less than thirty cultivators on Chen Yunlong's side, while there are as many as sixty cultivators on Helian Quan's side, so the situation is not going smoothly.

However, since there were many neutral factions and monks who had a good relationship with Chen Yunlong guarding the gate of Tianshan Sect, they temporarily obeyed Helian Quan's orders and launched an attack on Chen Yunlong.

But they didn't want to offend Chen Yunlong too much, for fear of being purged and retaliated afterwards, so they all kept a hand in reserve and just made a show of strength. Most of them did not put in any effort and just symbolically paraded around on the sidelines.

"Fellow Daoists of the Tianshan Sect, please listen to me. I am Song Xian, the headmaster of the Hunyuan Sect. I have been ordered by Senior Jiang of the Beast Taming Sect to help Fellow Daoist Chen Yunlong recapture Tianshan. With the exception of Helian Quan, the rest of the Tianshan Sect will not be held accountable. Fellow Daoists, there is no need to risk your lives for Helian Quan." Before the fight even began, Song Xian shouted loudly. His spiritual energy surged out with his voice, clearly reaching the ears of everyone on both sides.

"Following the orders from Senior Jiang of the Beast Taming Sect, give up resistance. Those who remain neutral will be forgiven." George Lam and others also shouted loudly.

This slogan had been discussed long ago in order to undermine the resistance spirit of the Tianshan Sect.

Lin Zixiang's shout led everyone in Hunyuan Sect to shout together.

"Brothers, don't be deceived by the rebels. If you defend the mountain gate this time, each of you will be rewarded with 500 spirit stones. If you kill one rebel, you will be rewarded with 1,000 spirit stones." Helian Quan was afraid that people would become restless, so he shouted hurriedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xianxuan's light ruler shone brightly and attacked.

Helian Quan met the attack with a black gold staff, which was also a top-grade magic weapon. The two collided, and the black light and the dark light were at a stalemate.

George Lam, Lu Yuan, and Lin Quan also used their magical weapons to attack him.

"Brothers, help me." Seeing several main members of Hunyuan Sect rushing towards him, Helian Quan immediately retreated to the rear and shouted loudly.

As soon as he said this, several of his close associates immediately rushed up to meet Song Xian and others and blocked this round of attacks for him.

When Song Xian's Xuan Guang ruler was colliding with the black gold staff, a cold light flashed in front of the left, and a silver needle with shining silver light shot out.

Before he reached Song Xian, he heard a bang. It was Su Zhirou who made a move. The blue flying sword in her hand slashed straight towards the flying needle.

That flying needle is only a mid-grade magic weapon, how can it stop the flying sword?

When the two collided, the silver needle immediately became shaky.

On this side, Su Zhirou put down the flying needle, and on the other side, a huge fire dragon roared and rushed towards him.

It is a high-level fire magic. The Tianshan Sect defenders also know that he is a leader, so Helian Quan's confidants have set their sights on him.

Song Xian flipped his hand and held a light green talisman in his hand. As spiritual power poured in, the talisman shone brightly and formed a water-colored protective shield around him.

The fire dragon roared and crashed into the earth-colored shield. There was no sound of collision, only sparks of fire. The fire dragon shook its head and tail and circled around Song Xian. The water-shaped shield swayed slightly under its attack.

The fire dragon's attack had not yet ended when another red trident, a foot long, stabbed towards him.

Song Xian held the Xuan Guang ruler and faced the trident. The two collided, and the Xuan Guang and the red light intertwined.

In just a short while, nearly half of the spiritual power in his body was consumed.

The purple Taoist robe he was wearing was so eye-catching that everyone knew he was the leader of the Hunyuan Sect. Therefore, Helian Quan's cronies attacked him as soon as they found an opportunity.

In such a large-scale melee, you need to keep your eyes and ears open. Once you become the target of public criticism, you will be in trouble.

At this time, Helian Quan had retreated behind a few people, and he was surrounded by a group of trusted guards.

Song Xian also had to retreat and hide behind Lin Zixiang and others. He looked around and saw that the people from Hunyuan Sect had also started fighting with the Tianshan Sect defenders, and the monks from both sides were fighting in a mess.

Seeing that Su Zhirou was still fighting with the guy who released silver needles to attack her, Song Xian flipped his hand and took out a black talisman. As the talisman shone brightly, a ball of black liquid emerged from it and floated towards the man from Muhe Grassland.

The black liquid shrank into a ball, like a huge water ball with a diameter of six feet. This was a first-grade, top-grade corrosive talisman.

The man was at the sixth level of Qi Refining and had no high-level magical weapon, so he was no match for Su Zhirou and could only defend himself.

Su Zhirou slashed down with her sword, and the man frequently responded with silver needles, but how could a mid-grade magic weapon be a match for a high-grade magic weapon, not to mention that his cultivation was not as good as hers, so he soon fell into a disadvantage.

Under the attack of the blue flying sword, the silver needle's light became weaker and weaker. The man had to retract the silver needle and meet the attack with magic. He put his hands together, and golden light flowed in front of him, condensing into a circular golden shield that enveloped him.

The blue flying sword slashed down frequently, making a sound of metal clashing with the golden shield, but it could not break through the golden shield's defense for the time being.

Until Song Xian threw out the corrosion talisman, the black water ball floated above it and fell on the golden round shield. Without any sound, the water ball silently cracked, and a large amount of black liquid poured out from it and scattered along the top of the golden round shield.

This corrosion talisman is a top-grade talisman recorded in the Jidao Secret Records. It is very rare in the market and is rarely sold in shops. Therefore, many cultivators are unaware of its power.

The corrosive talisman is extremely powerful, much stronger than ordinary high-grade talismans. The disadvantage is that the corrosive liquid moves slowly and will automatically decompose at a maximum distance of fifteen feet.

It is most suitable for dealing with monks who hide under the defensive shield and do not move.

The man obviously didn't know the origin of the corrosive symbol. When the black liquid poured onto the top of the golden round shield, only a slight cracking sound was heard, and the golden round shield was immediately melted by the black corrosive venom, leaving a big hole.

The man's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that these black liquids had such great destructive power. When the golden round shield was torn apart, he immediately took out a talisman in his hand, and a dark green halo condensed around him.

A large amount of corrosive liquid poured down from the gap in the golden round shield, swarming onto the dark green light circle condensed around it like maggots on the tarsal bones.

The man retreated in a hurry, but it was too late. After a while, the dark green light circle was melted away by the corrosive venom, leaving a gap. With a scream, the corrosive venom dripped onto the man's head and corroded his body.

The man screamed loudly and rolled on the ground.

Song Xian flipped the Blood Soul Banner in his hand, and a red ghost emerged from it and pounced towards him.

Then he bit the struggling man's neck.

The man's flesh and blood shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon he turned into a mummy.

After killing this man, Song Xian turned around and saw that Helian Quan still had six confidants surrounding him and fighting with Lin Zixiang and others.

In addition to Alan Lam, Lu Yuan, Lin Quan, Song Xian, and Su Zhirou, this battle group also includes Chen Yunlong and his two trusted subordinates.

"Sal." Helian Quan heard the scream of the man on his left, turned around and saw a red ghost lying on him and sucking his flesh and blood. He was shocked.

Seeing his trusted subordinate die so tragically, he became furious again. With a loud shout, he took out a green talisman. As the talisman shone brightly, powerful gusts of wind rose from the ground and swept towards Chen Yunlong.

At this time, a scream was heard not far to the left front of Song Xian. One of Chen Yunlong's subordinates was pierced through the throat by a bloody claw.

It was a majestic black wolf, the spiritual pet of an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

At this point, both sides have become blood-thirsty and have used all their tricks.
