Chapter 232 – Hosting a Grand Formation, Arrival of the Golden Dan
Chapter 232 – Hosting a Grand Formation, Golden Dan Arrives
“Yes!”
Jiang Chengxuan wasn’t polite, and immediately nodded his head at the words:
“Using this array disk to fend off a fourth-order demonic beast, at that time, it will inevitably cause a certain degree of consumption and damage to my array disk.
When this demonic beast chaos is over, I hope to make up for these losses of mine.”
“This is no problem.”
Hua Mengyue instantly agreed without hesitation.
“When this matter is over, I will truthfully inform the Pavilion Master and also my Master.
At that time, I will definitely not let you, Daoist Jiang, suffer any losses.”
“In that case, then so be it.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
As he spoke, he had already galvanized the Group Star Dueling Heavenly Chained Formation in his hand.
Because there was no corresponding spirit vein to rely on.
Although the Cluster Star Dueling Heavenly Chained Grand Formation was a rather unimpressive Grand Formation in the fourth rank.
However, in this situation, it was unable to utilize its full power, and could only be used temporarily as protection.
Buzz!
At this instant, the entire array disk erupted with a radiant and extremely bright light.
Above the sky, there even seemed to be a starburst falling down, which seemed to form some sort of correlation with the several formation eyes in the grand formation.
A powerful might that was completely different from a third-order formation instantly covered the entire Ancient Yuan City.
Even the city’s protective formation, the Falling River Taiyi Formation, was also wrapped up by the Star Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation.
At the same time, in a certain direction in the distance of Ancient Yuan City, a figure appeared.
Looking at the figure, it didn’t seem to be very tall, only about five or six meters.
This was considered to be very small amongst the demonic beasts that were tens or hundreds of meters tall.
But it was such a figure, when it appeared, no matter which demonic beasts were present, they all prostrated themselves on the ground at the first time, their bodies trembling.
Even those few top grade third stage demonic beasts were no exception.
They immediately stopped all the movements in their hands, and all of them knelt and kowtowed towards the direction where the figure appeared.
Not daring to show the slightest bit of disrespect.
Jiang Chengxuan’s side.
The eyes of the crowd also contracted fiercely.
Especially Hua Mengyue and Li Fei.
A look of disbelief spread across their faces.
Only to hear Hua Mengyue say, “It’s the Fushan Wolf King!
How did it …… it, appear here with us?”
“Hmm? What’s wrong with that?”
Seeing Hua Mengyue and Li Fei’s reaction.
Especially what Hua Mengyue said.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Jiang Rendao, and the three members of the Bai Clan who were present all turned their inquiring gazes towards her, as well as Li Fei beside her.
It was then that Hua Mengyue took a slight deep breath, and then said with a somewhat ugly expression:
“If I remember correctly, that Blessed Mountain Wolf King is not even a demon king within the territory of our Liang, Yun, and Yan countries, but rather, it’s a fourth-ranked demon king located in the Blessed Spirit Mountain of the Zheng Kingdom.”
“The Demon King of Zheng Kingdom’s Fu Ling Mountain?”
Suddenly hearing Hua Mengyue’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and the others present couldn’t help but have their eyes shrink slightly.
Since it was the Demon King from the Zheng Country’s side, how could it possibly appear in their Liang Country’s territory?
This simply didn’t make sense.
One must know that to bypass the barrier between the two countries, and also to do so without alerting the Zheng Kingdom’s crowd of Jindan real people, thus arriving in their Liang Kingdom’s territory, was almost an impossible thing to do.
Previously, their five countries, at a very early stage, had an agreement.
They would never let the fourth-ranked Demon Kings within their borders set foot in the territories of other countries.
This was both a division of duties and a form of surveillance of the Demon Kings within their own territories.
Otherwise, if the Demon King of Zheng entered Liang today, the Demon King of Yun tomorrow, and the Demon King of Yan the day after that, wouldn’t that be a real mess?
At that time, even if their Liang Country’s overall strength was strong, it simply wouldn’t be able to withstand so many Demon Kings messing around.
So.
The appearance of that Fushan Wolf King right now, there must be a big problem amongst them.
This was also the main reason why Hua Mengyue and Li Fei would have that abnormal reaction the moment they recognized each other’s identity.
However, at this moment in time, there was not much point for them to consider that.
It was still imperative that they managed to hold onto Gu Yuan City first.
Just after this thought flashed through their minds, Jiang Chengxuan and the others saw that the pair of eyes of the Fushan Wolf King was already looking straight towards them.
Two laser-like red pillars of light shot out from its eyes.
Only a rumbling sound was heard.
The entire Ancient Yuan City, at this moment, shook slightly.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
In an instant, the Cluster of Stars Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation located on top of it suddenly blazed with light.
A streak of starlight like a galaxy fell down.
It emitted incomparably magnificent colors.
In an instant, it counteracted the attack of the Fushan Wolf King’s two red pillars of light.
“Somewhat interesting.”
A look of interest slowly surfaced on the face of the Fushan Wolf King.
However, in the depths of its eyes, a color of cruelty that was dense to the extreme was leaking out.
“Since this king has already arrived here today, then it will never be possible to return without success.”
Accompanied by the words, the eyes of the Fushan Wolf King were already looking towards those demonic beasts present, his voice carrying a hint of unquestionable majesty:
“Pass on this king’s order, all demonic beasts, give me full force to attack Ancient Yuan City.
Without my words, no one is allowed to stop.”
“Yes!”
The crowd of third-ranked demonic beasts immediately led the order.
At once, an attack that was even more violent than before began.
If it was said that before this, the attack of the demonic beasts was still following some sort of pattern, more or less retaining some power, then right now, they were completely crazy.
Completely disregarding their own safety.
It was as if they had gone completely insane.
Even though there was a fourth-order grand formation in front of them that could instantly strangle them into mud, they didn’t care in the slightest and just charged straight up.
Boom boom boom!
All of a sudden, violent explosions rang out one after another.
Thousands and tens of thousands of demonic beasts just crashed headlong into the range of the grand formation.
All sorts of gifted divine abilities and spells were smashed out like they were desperate.
However, these attacks, for the grade has reached the fourth level of the Group Star Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation, for a moment, but simply can not play the slightest role.
On the contrary, after they rushed into the range of the grand formation, they were instead strangled into blood mist by the killing formations stored in the grand formation.
In just a moment’s time, thousands of low-ranked demonic beasts fell under the might of the Star Dueling Heavenly Formation.
And this number was still increasing.
However, at this moment, Jiang Chengxuan and the others who were located in the Grand Formation did not have much joy on their faces.
For no other reason than because the scene in front of them was definitely a not-so-small drain on the grand formation.
If half a million spirit stones were able to maintain the operation of the formation for a day and a night, then under such a desperate attack from the other side, I’m afraid that in less than half a day, half a million spirit stones would be consumed.
And that was even if that Fushan Wolf King didn’t personally attack.
If it is personally down the field ……
Jiang Chengxuan and the others’ hearts couldn’t help but sink.
It couldn’t continue like this anymore.
Jiang Chengxuan turned his head to look at the crowd.
“All of you, come out together, I’ll be in charge of presiding over this formation.
At that time, I will be able to ensure the safety of all of you.
And in this way, the consumption of the formation itself can also be minimized and maintained within a relatively reasonable range.”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, the crowd had no problem with this, and one by one, they could not help but nod.
Soon.
Jiang Chengxuan walked into the core of this formation.
With his attainments in formations nowadays, he was still unable to set up a fourth-order formation of this scale, though.
But trying to maneuver this kind of formation was already not much of a problem.
Buzz!
Soon, the operation of the grand formation began to change.
From the original passive defense, it changed to a targeted defense.
At the same time, its counterattacks against the enemy became more severe.
In conjunction with Shen Ruyan, Hua Mengyue and the others’ strikes, it actually caused the casualties on the side of the demonic beasts to increase steeply and dramatically.
And most importantly, with Jiang Chengxuan presiding over the Group Star Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation, it could be said that it had completely come to life.
But whenever a cultivator outside faced a critical situation, the grand formation would extend in an instant, thus wrapping him up in it.
This scene couldn’t help but cause the eyes of the Fushan Wolf King in the distance to narrow slightly.
Wisps of coldness swept through the depths of his eyes.
However, it did not rush to make another move, but instead, it just watched, watching the countless demonic beasts in front of it, flying to ashes under the stranglehold of that Group Star Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation.
Just like that.
A day quickly passed.
When the sun on the second day, shone on Ancient Yuan City, in the sky above Ancient Yuan City, a large thin blood-colored cloud had already condensed.
Looking up, the outside of Gu Yuan City was filled with the corpses of demonic beasts.
The blood had already turned into a small stream, extending to the surrounding pits and flowing everywhere.
On Ancient Yuan City.
The faces of all the cultivators could hardly hide their exhaustion.
Truly, the intensity of this past day of fighting had exceeded any previous time.
Even Hua Mengyue, Li Fei, Jiang Rendao, and the Bai Clan had similarly threads of blood in their eyes.
The mana fluctuations emanating from their bodies were vaguely somewhat unstable.
Only Shen Ruyan, the expression remained as usual, as if not affected by yesterday’s battle.
The fluctuation of mana on her body was still like an abyss or a sea, with no signs of instability or depletion at all.
And this scene also shocked Hua Mengyue and the others in their hearts.
They had all seen Shen Ruyan’s strike yesterday very clearly.
Not only did she decapitate the Pseudo Fourth Order Demonic Beast Blade Golden Eagle.
Moreover, it also decapitated three third-order demonic beasts in a row in the battle that followed, causing all the remaining third-order demonic beasts to not dare to easily approach the 100 feet range around her.
But just like this, Shen Ruyan was still in good condition.
In the end, how deep this must be, how huge the mana?
Just as a group of people were turning these thoughts in their minds, the demonic beasts that had just retreated not long ago suddenly began to regroup again.
Without a moment’s effort, a mountain of demonic beasts once again appeared outside of Gu Yuan City.
Seeing this, all the cultivators could only go forward to meet the enemy again.
The time lasted for a total of three days.
When the sun on the fourth day, once again appeared in the sky above Ancient Yuan City, the Fushan Wolf King, who hadn’t made a move since the first day, suddenly moved.
Only its figure was seen flying rapidly.
In a breath of time, it arrived in the sky above Ancient Yuan City.
Immediately afterward, it opened its mouth and spat.
A long, blood-colored blade in the shape of a wolf’s head blasted down towards the Group Star Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation of Ancient Yuan City.
Boom!
For four consecutive days, the Group Star Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation, which was incomparably solid, after being attacked by this fourth-ranked magic treasure of the Fushan Wolf King, the light of the entire formation suddenly dimmed by a few points.
The pillars of light that were connected to the sky also vaguely showed signs of collapse.
Jiang Chengxuan, who was responsible for presiding over this formation, suddenly changed his face.
He could clearly sense that the strength of this demon was not as simple as an early Jindan stage.
Otherwise, even if today’s Cluster Star Dueling Heavenly Chained Formation had been greatly depleted, it would never have appeared like this in a single strike.
Can’t think too much, Jiang Chengxuan immediately grabbed a storage ring beside him, and immediately put hundreds of thousands of spirit stones into the formation.
Buzz!
Originally, the light of the Star Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation had faintly dimmed, and after receiving the supply of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, the light became bright again.
Seeing this, the eyes of the Fushan Wolf King could not help but flash a hint of teasing.
Only to see its figure flashing continuously.
A single attack landed on several different locations of the grand formation, causing the light of the grand formation to continuously shake.
Hua Mengyue and the others, who had already returned to the formation, couldn’t help but have their hearts in their throats.
At this time, they were really afraid that something would happen to the grand formation.
If that were to happen, they were afraid that even if they wanted to escape, it would not be possible.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan, who presided over the grand formation, was quite capable.
Even with the intensive attacks of the Fushan Wolf King, the formation, although shaky, always persisted.
“Fellow Daoist Flower, when will the real person from your sect probably arrive?”
At this moment, even with the calmness of the Bai Family’s old man, he was somewhat unable to hold back, and immediately turned his head to look at Hua Mengyue.
When the others heard this, they all similarly turned their gazes, one after another, towards Hua Mengyue.
Hua Mengyue was just about to reply, but unexpectedly, just at this moment, in the distant skies on the other side of their Ancient Yuan City, a strong reclining light suddenly swept in.
That terrifying pressure immediately made everyone present realize that it was, indeed, a Jindan Real Person!
“Sinful beast, bold!”
Before the person arrived, an explosive cry filled with anger was already heard from afar.
Like thunder crushing through, it actually caused the crowd of demonic beasts below that were still attacking the city to all fall to the ground, trembling.
Seeing this, the faces of Hua Mengyue, Li Fei, Jiang Rendao, and the three members of the Bai Clan could not help but display a look of incomparable surprise.
“It’s Senior Jindan!
Golden Dan senior is here!”
Accompanying the words of the crowd, they saw a giant sword that was a hundred feet long suddenly fly out from within that reclining light.
The huge sword emitted a bright sword aura, carrying an unrivaled ferocity, and it was suddenly chopped down towards the Fushan Wolf King that was attacking the Group Star Dueling Heavenly Chain Formation.
Rumble!
The Fushan Wolf King instantly sacrificed its long, wolf-headed, blood-colored sword.
The two magical treasures that had reached the fourth rank collided in mid-air, instantly stirring up an extremely terrifying sky-rushing mushroom cloud.
A powerful aftershock raged, immediately causing the bodies of the hundreds of demonic beasts that leaned closest to it to be torn apart on the spot.
They died.
