Chapter 629 Strike and Promise
Burned by the fire of magic, in a short period of time, the earth was already bare.
Curls of gunpowder smoke rose, and there were still dots of flames left on the ground, which had changed beyond recognition.
How can there be such a harmonious and natural scene not long ago?
On the ruins, Liu Yu withdrew his gaze, looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.
This is the world of cultivating immortals. The strong can do whatever they want without any restraint, and reap the lives of the weak at will.
Or, it will cause heavy trauma to the environment, and it will be difficult to recover for tens of thousands of years or even longer.
"Continuing like this, where is the future of this world?"
"It seems that there is only one way to go."
His eyes flashed, Liu Yu's face was expressionless, but his heart was turbulent.
However, he quickly put away his distracting thoughts and continued to observe the situation on the field.
After the battle between Yuanying Zhenjun and the fourth-rank demon king just now, the battle around Lingwu City has basically ended at this time.
A demon cultivator with fair strength and good luck.Already fled back to Lingwu City.
As for those who did not escape, both the demon body and the demon core have been put into the storage ring by the monk.
"Boom"
The ground trembled slightly, and pillars of red light burst out from around Lingwu City with great momentum.
The beams of light interweave densely like spider webs, forming a light red shield, covering the fairy city that stretches for more than two hundred miles.
Afterwards, wisps of red mist containing strong demonic aura emerged and quickly became thicker, until it covered most of Lingwu City.
Only a small part of the uppermost layer of the light red shield is exposed to the air, and the entire fairy city is looming in the mist.
Nine Heavenly Demon Formation!
After watching for a long time, seeing that the human cultivator had freed his hand, the demon cultivator who reacted finally activated the formation.
"Buzz~"
The three spirit ships Dingnan, Benlei, and Qingcang re-launched and stopped fifty miles away from Lingwu City, but they didn't make any further moves.
Although some shortcomings are small, they are fatal enough.
With the shortcomings of the three spirit ships being "slow to respond" at times, if they rashly intervene in the fourth-order battle, the effect will not be great.
It cannot be the key to turning the tide of the battle, nor is it the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
It's better to stay around Lingwu City, as a deterrent force, so that the third-level demon cultivators in it will not dare to act rashly.
"Whoosh~"
A man named Jindan flew across the sky, and returned from all parts of Lingwu City without the help of magic weapons or magic weapons.
"Tap"
The faint sound of footsteps sounded back and forth, and in a blink of an eye the Dingnan was sparsely filled with monks, as were the other two spirit ships.
Compared with before the attack, there were still three fewer monks.
One was accidentally taken away by the demon cultivator's counterattack before he died, and the two were affected by the fighting between the demon king and the real king. They almost died without much struggle.
I don't know if it was too high-profile, which led to the "care" of the demon kings.
Not only did it fail to attract the "attention" of the Zhang family, but he lost his life because of it, and hundreds of years of practice were destroyed.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
Although the performance on the battlefield is high-profile, it may be taken care of by the demon kings.
But on the other hand, if you can get the appreciation of the Zhang family, and even marry a noble daughter of the Zhang family afterwards, you will benefit endlessly, and it will be of great benefit to your future path.
Therefore, although the risk is great, it still cannot dispel some monks' eagerness to express themselves.
"Friend Zhang Tao, what should I do in the current situation?"
"Still launching an attack on Lingwu City?"
After everyone gathered, there was silence for about four or five breaths, and a monk at the early stage of Jindan couldn't help asking.
Seeing the great power of the Demon King's attack, he was already terrified and a little confused, and he hasn't recovered yet.
Hearing this, Zhang Tao did not reply immediately.
With his hands on his back, his face was solemn, looking at the looming Lingwu City in the pale red mist, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
The Zhang family really did not expect that during the "king's court discussion", there were so many fourth-order demon kings stationed around Lingwu City, including a late fourth-order demon king.
More importantly, he is still the Great Demon King of the Fire Phoenix Clan.
When this happens, the situation has been somewhat out of Zhang Tao's control, and he doesn't have a good strategy for a while.
"Forcibly launch an attack?"
"Or just retreat?"
Several thoughts flashed through Zhang Tao's mind, and he still said:
"Fellow daoists, stay safe and don't be impatient. Let's wait and see for a while to see when the elders will send news."
No matter which one to choose, in terms of the current situation, it is a difficult choice for everyone.
If you choose to attack forcefully, the "Nine Gates Heavenly Demon Formation" will be a difficulty. Without the participation of the elder Yuanying, even if the Zhang family has prepared various countermeasures, the chance of forcibly breaking through is not high.
After all, this is a fourth-tier mid-tier defensive formation, which perfectly fits the spiritual veins and ground veins around Lingwu City.
And choosing to retreat is even more unacceptable.
After preparing for thousands of years, I don't know if there will be such a good opportunity next time, and it is hard to get the support of the court. Even if there is a certain amount of bloodshed and casualties, the Zhang family must try.
If this uprising fails, Yaozu will definitely make adequate preparations and make up some loopholes, and the chances will only become more slim in the future.
Immediately, the deck fell into silence. In such a tense atmosphere, no one was in the mood to talk.
While paying attention to the movement of the gang wind layer, while looking at the distant Nine Gates Heavenly Demon Formation.
Looking through the white clouds, you can see colorful auras from time to time above the sky.
Even the astonishingly lethal Gang Feng cannot completely eliminate the power of fourth-order beings.
Legend has it that only by traveling through the nine layers of wind can you truly reach beyond the world!
But if you want to pass through the nine layers of hurricanes, you have to be very capable in the refining emptiness stage.
A monk at the golden core stage can only touch the first three layers of wind, while a monk at the Nascent Soul stage can enter the middle three layers of wind.
As for the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers of the Gangfeng layer, it is difficult for those who are not in the realm of transforming gods to enter, and those who are not strong enough to rush in will only end up with no bones left!
Legend has it that in ancient times, the nine-layer gang wind layer was also called "nine heavens", and it also gave birth to countless geniuses, treasures and spirits of heaven and earth.
However, after the Great War of the Ancients, Jiutian has lost all its miraculous powers and seems to be unable to conceive vitality.
All that remains is destruction.
I don't know when it started, a strong wind began to blow in the nine heavens, and it could no longer accommodate any living beings.
Every breath that stays in the nine days has to bear the indiscriminate blow from the wind from all directions.
So gradually, the name "Nine Heavens" was gradually not mentioned, and it was replaced by the Gangfeng Layer.
The lowest first layer of the Gangfeng layer is a full [-] feet high from the ground, and there are transparent Gangfeng blowing all the time.
Although the power of each hurricane is only comparable to that of a third-tier low-grade spell, compared with a monk casting spells, as long as he is in the hurricane layer, he will be attacked all the time.
Every minute and every second, there are countless hurricanes that are like low-level third-level spells blowing!
In this case, even if there is a good magic weapon, the ordinary golden core cannot stand for too long, otherwise it will die due to exhaustion of mana.
Only the part that exists at the top of the same realm can gain a foothold for a long time.
Of course, since there is no vitality in the Astral Wind Layer, let alone the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, not many monks are willing to explore this place.
Over time, for the vast majority of monks, "Gangfeng layer" is an extremely unfamiliar word.
……
At this time, on the first layer of Gangfeng layer, there are huge monster shadows standing seven hundred feet high.
On the opposite side of Yaoying, there are seven monks facing each other from a distance.
"Boom"
The two sides clashed fiercely, and the roar was continuous and did not stop for a moment.
The transparent wind that ordinary gold cores fear like a tiger has no effect on these existences. The wind that blows every moment is easily blocked by a seemingly thin shield.
Even those tyrannical fourth-order demon kings with strong demon bodies can resist these hurricanes with their physical bodies, completely treating them as if they don't exist, and have not suffered the slightest injury.
It is only equivalent to an attack of the third-tier inferior rank, and its power is still too weak for them.
In the face of the power of the fourth-level confrontation, the power caused by the first layer of gale is not enough at all.
With the higher "essence", the aftermath of the fights even passed through numerous obstacles to the sky, and turned into the scene that Liu Yu and others saw, that is, colorful rays of light.
For the keen senses and senses of the fourth-level existence, every breath is very "long".
In just one breath, they may have fought dozens of times, or even more.
Ten or so breaths passed, and the two sides had victories and defeats. A Nascent Soul True Monarch and a Tier [-] Demon King both fell in the confrontation just now.
Even his Nascent Soul and Demon Infant were not spared, and there was no possibility of rebirth.
However, as time went by, because the two monsters, Que Xingye, had been seriously injured long ago, and their strength had been greatly affected, so overall, the side of the monster clan was still slightly at a disadvantage.
"and many more."
In a dozen or so breaths of time, I don't know how many times they fought, and the outcome was as close as before. The purple-eyed demon king suddenly sent a voice through his spiritual consciousness.
"Ok?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Tianling Zhenjun's eyes, but he was worried that it was a trick of this monster, and he didn't intend to stop at all.
"Boom"
The roar of the fourth-order confrontation covered up the sound of the wind blowing, as if the dangerous atmosphere here had faded a lot.
Seeing this, the purple-eyed demon king's face darkened, and seeing that his side was at a disadvantage, he still had no choice but to continue the sound transmission:
"Wait, Lingwu City is certainly important, but because of this I risk my life, is it really worth it?"
"Fellow Tianling, according to the current situation, even if you can win, how many people will be left in the end?"
"Although your human monks practice fast, it will take hundreds of thousands of years to reach the current state. Do you really have to work hard for this?"
"Why don't I just stop here and let those third-tier juniors decide how the battle will go?"
After finishing speaking in one breath, the demon summoned up his mana to force Zhenjun Tianling back, and stopped attacking first.
The Purple-eyed Demon King was born in the Fire Phoenix Clan, and his talent and bloodline were among the top among his clan, and he had countless cultivation resources in front of him. He really didn't want to fight to the death with monks of the same rank just because of a Lingwu City.
What's more, Zhenjun Tianling is an old opponent with him, and he has fought against him several times.
Who knows if there is any hole card, if it is really a death match, it is really not sure who will live and who will die.
Therefore, the purple-eyed demon king thought of such a way to avoid a death fight.
Anyway, with the protection of the "Nine Gates Heavenly Demon Formation", with the performance of the three spirit ships and those Golden Core cultivators, he didn't think they could break through the formation.
As long as you can delay the time until the reinforcements arrive, the situation will be different immediately.
Taking a step back, even if the formation is broken and the bet is lost, it does not mean that the bet will be fulfilled.
"it is good."
After thinking about it for a few breaths, Zhenjun Tianling agreed to the conditions of the Purple Eyed Demon King out of nowhere.
Even the other five Zhang Family True Monarchs showed puzzled expressions on their faces.
Annan Liuzhou still has quite a few Tier [-] demon kings, and the longer the delay, the more unfavorable they will be.
However, the Great Cultivator and the Great Demon King are the two sides who can really make decisions. The two have already made a decision, and they can't make a change even if they complain.
In this way, the two sides agreed to complement each other to intervene in the war in Lingwu City, and let the third-rank "junior" decide the direction of the situation.
But the true king and the demon king can only pay attention to them hundreds of miles away.
……
In the restless waiting, every minute and every second seemed extraordinarily long.
It was a matter of family and life, and even Jindan cultivators could not be calm, and various expressions could not help appearing on their faces.
Horror, excitement, cruelty, panic.
Although Liu Yu had no expression on his face and looked calm on the surface, he still couldn't help the slight ripples in his heart.
In the face of death, who can truly be at peace? !
"what?"
After about twenty breaths of calm, an uproar suddenly broke out on the three spirit ships.
Zhong Jindan soon discovered that the movement of the Gangfeng layer disappeared, and the colorful aura disappeared.
"Could it be that the fighting skills at the fourth level will end so soon?"
Some monks' expressions changed, and they guessed secretly, not daring to take a breath, as if the judgment of fate was about to come.
Everyone watched intently, but there was no movement for a long time, and no winner appeared.
When everyone was puzzled, Zhang Tao, Zhang Ziping, and Kong Lingxiu's expressions changed, as if they had received some information.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang Tao, do you have any news from the True Monarchs?"
At this time, the monks are naturally very sensitive to the movements around them. After a long time, some monks noticed that the expressions of the three people were abnormal, and asked immediately.
Although many vowed before departure that they would not take a step back until death, most of the monks were ready to run away at this time.
If the situation is slightly wrong, the soles of the shoes will be oiled immediately.
Only half a minute, still embracing the persistence in my heart.
"Just now, Elder Tianling sent the news that after a fierce battle, a temporary truce has been reached between the True Monarch and the Demon King."
"The success or failure of this battle will be determined by whether we can break through Lingwu City."
Knowing that this is not the time to cover up, Zhang Tao quickly organized his words in his mind, and spoke immediately.
"what?!"
Hearing this, a considerable number of monks turned ugly, but with a bit of helplessness.
How could they not know why?
It's nice to say, it's not that those "old guys" are afraid of death and don't want to fight to the death, that's why I waited desperately!
Of course, I dare not say this directly, many monks just cursed in their hearts.
There are only a few golden pills of casual cultivation, and I have seen many similar things, but my face has not changed much.
PS: The state is not very good, there are [-] words to update tomorrow, sorry fellow daoists.
