Chapter 259 – Counter Raid, Instantaneous Killing of Three Jindans [Extra Monthly Tickets Requested
Chapter 259: Counter-attack, instantly kill three Jindan 【additional request for monthly tickets
The old man who opened his mouth was named Daoist Jing Xu, from the Qing Yu Sect, one of the four major Jindan forces in Zheng.
At this moment, when the crowd heard his words, they couldn’t help but all turn their gazes towards Guo Yuansheng.
Guo Yuansheng slightly pondered, then turned his gaze directly towards Shangguan Yongchang in the crowd, as well as another man in Chinese clothing named Shangguan Yongsheng.
These two were both Jindan from the Shangguan clan of the Dingyuan Marquis’ residence.
The former, Shangguan Yongchang, had once chased after Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Unable to do so, he was lured to the demonic beasts by Jiang Chengxuan, ultimately causing his pursuit to be a lost cause.
The latter, on the other hand, was the veteran Jindan of the Shangguan clan of the Dingyuan Marquis’ residence, and his cultivation had clearly reached the sixth Jindan layer.
At this moment, when the two of them saw Guo Yuansheng turn his gaze towards himself, they immediately said something bad in their hearts.
Sure enough.
Just then, he heard Guo Yuansheng say: ”Two Shangguan Daoyou, this time, our joint attack on Yan, although it is a joint decision of the seven families of our two countries, however, the origin of this matter is due to your Dingyuan Marquis House.
Previously, our seven families have already jointly utilized a fourth-order array-breaking bead once, and now this time, your Ding Yuan Marquis House, should you not indicate one or two?”
The meaning of these words was already obvious.
It was that with the situation at hand, if one wanted to break the deadlock in a short period of time, then one would have to use the fourth-order formation-breaking beads again.
And this time, the one who should take out the fourth-order formation-breaking beads was already their Marquis Ding Yuan’s residence.
This made Shangguan Yongchang’s and Shangguan Yongsheng’s faces immediately become somewhat unsightly.
One must know that a fourth-order formation-breaking bead was quite precious.
It was an irreplaceable strategic level resource for every Jindan level power.
Many Jindan forces didn’t even have a fourth-order formation breaking bead.
Even with the depth of their Ding Yuan Marquis Residence, they only had one fourth-order formation-breaking bead left so far.
As a result, as soon as you opened your mouth, you asked their Marquis Ding Yuan Mansion to take out the only remaining fourth-order formation breaking bead.
On what grounds?
On the basis of the reasons you just said?
Don’t be ridiculous.
Since everyone has decided to do this, it shows that they are already in the same boat with each other.
At this time, the things that he, Guo Yuansheng, had said, they, the Marquis of Ding Yuan, would not recognize at all.
He heard Shangguan Yongsheng open his mouth, ”Fellow Daoist Guo, at this time, saying those things again doesn’t seem to be necessary, right?
As I see it, right now, we have 14 Jindan and more than 40 Zifu, if we are willing to go all out, even if we don’t use the fourth-order formation-breaking beads, the Feng family won’t be able to hold out for long.
I’m not afraid to tell you the truth, now my Marquis of Ding Yuan has only one fourth-order formation-breaking bead left, if we really want us to take it out, if we don’t give enough compensation accordingly, my Marquis of Ding Yuan will never agree to it.”
The implication is that if you want them to take out the fourth-order array-breaking bead, the people present must give enough benefits to do so.
And the value of that benefit would undoubtedly far exceed the value of the fourth-order formation breaking bead itself.
This also caused Guo Yuansheng, Daoist Jingxu, and the others to slightly furrow their brows.
It was obvious that when things came to this point, it was already difficult for the two sides to talk.
Especially since there were a few families present whose opinions were not unified.
Coupled with the fact that although the seven of them were nominally united, in reality, each of them had each of their own small minds.
Previously, when they had just attacked Yan, in order to take them by surprise, the seven families were still able to be relatively united with each other for the time being.
However, after destroying the Golden Sun Sect and dividing up all the treasures of the sect, there was inevitably some nastiness between them.
By now, it was already difficult for everyone to be the same as they were at the beginning.
If they were to force it, if they were to get it wrong, this alliance that they had united with great difficulty might have to be disbanded.
This was something that Guo Yuansheng, Daoist Jingxu, and others with rather large ambitions could not accept.
So.
This matter can only be delayed for the time being.
And this, too, had precisely become an opportunity for the Wind Family to be able to continue supporting themselves.
One day later.
Jiang Chengxuan’s group of six people had clearly arrived in the vicinity of the Wind Family.
Along with them, there was clearly Zheng Beilong’s group of four.
In order not to alert the cultivators of Zheng Shu, Jiang Chengxuan and Zheng Beilong didn’t contact the Wind Family immediately after their secret rendezvous.
Instead, they found a relatively secluded place and temporarily hid themselves.
“Everyone, let’s all talk about it, should we take over, should we contact the Wind Family first, or should we take the guys from Zheng Shu by surprise and make a move against them.”
Hou Dongbai was the first to speak.
Hearing his words, Zheng Beilong thought for a moment and said:
“I don’t suggest contacting the Wind Family.
Once the news of our arrival here is exposed, the best outcome would be for the guys from Zheng Shu to automatically back off.
They occupied that part of the Golden Sun Sect’s territory.
If they rely on that area as a stronghold, it will still be a huge threat to Yan.
In that case, the forces of you and I will be delayed here indefinitely, something that is never good enough.”
“I agree with Fellow Daoist Zheng.”
At this moment, Meng Lanzhu, who was in charge of this operation from the Northern Cloud Sect, chimed in.
“As I see it, our primary purpose in coming to Yan is not to simply relieve the Feng family of their siege, but to use this incident to deal a painful blow to the union of Zheng and Shu.
If we can take this opportunity to behead a few Jindan among them, that would be the best thing ever.”
Meng Lanzhu’s words immediately gained the approval of the Starlight Sect’s Situ Zhan, as well as the Tian Yue Sect’s Wen Shujun and the others.
Including Hou Dongbai, who had voiced his opinion, he also said that he had no objections to this.
Since the general direction of the moment had already been determined, what remained was how to act.
Seeing the Starlight Sect’s Situ Zhan, he suddenly took out from his own body, a formation disk that shone with starlight.
He then saw him speak to the crowd, “Gentlemen, this array disk is called the Heavenly Star Invisible Array, and it can use the power of the starburst to conceal our movements in all directions.
However, the upper limit of its concealment is only four people.
I don’t know if you all have similar treasures in your hands that are capable of concealing your figure and qi?”
Upon hearing this, Li Mingkong from the Heavenly Eclipse Sect immediately took out a formation flag from his body.
Then he heard him say, “This formation flag is called the Upside Down Locking Machine Formation, which is exactly suitable for the current situation.
Only ……”
As he said this, a trace of difficulty suddenly appeared on his face, but he continued:
“This formation flag can only wrap five people.
More than five people will have a greater risk of being detected.”
By implication, he was asking the people present if they still had similar treasures in their hands.
However, these types of treasures that could completely conceal one’s form and qi were all of a grade that required more than the fourth rank, and were clearly not any big-ticket items.
In addition to the two pieces that Situ Zhan and Li Mingkong had taken out, in the hands of the others present, there was clearly no third similar treasure.
But just at this moment, Jiang Chengxuan in the crowd suddenly opened his mouth.
“I don’t need to use this type of treasure if I’m concealing my own lineage and qi.”
“Hm?”
Suddenly hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, everyone present couldn’t help but stare.
Jiang Chengxuan didn’t do much explaining, but instead directly utilized the divine aptitude Phaseless.
In an instant, his figure, as if it had been erased a little bit by a piece of rubber eraser, actually directly disappeared in front of everyone present.
This immediately caused everyone to be taken aback.
At that moment, they hurriedly began to use their divine sense to search around, the result was without exception, all of them could not detect the slightest trace of Jiang Chengxuan.
Even his aura could not be felt at all.
It was as if the entire person had been completely erased from this world.
What exactly is this divine ability? To be able to have such an extraordinary hiding ability?
This thought flashed through the hearts of the crowd.
At the very same time, Jiang Chengxuan’s figure reappeared before the eyes of the crowd bit by bit.
Seeing this, Hou Dongbai couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration:
“I never thought that fellow Daoist Jiang would have such a stealthy technique.
With this technique in place, it is indeed enough to conceal the cultivators from the combined Zheng and Shu countries.”
Everyone else also sighed, stating that the extraordinary nature of this technique was truly the only thing they had ever seen in their lives.
Next, the group conferred on the details to be taken care of after the meeting.
In the end, they decided that, depending on the situation, they would see if they could have the opportunity to focus their targets on a few early Jindan stages and kill them in a surprise attack.
If it was really impossible to do so, then they would consider the matter of converging with the Wind Family.
A few moments later.
Jiang Chengxuan’s group of ten people had slowly approached the battlefield.
Because of the special nature of the Avatar Phaseless, the task of probing the cultivation of the other party’s cultivators had temporarily fallen to Jiang Chengxuan.
And the result did not disappoint.
After Jiang Chengxuan’s probing, the ten of them were the first to target three people.
These three people were Star Yangzi of the Zheng Kingdom’s Guanglin Sect, Snow Silver Fairy of the Qingyu Sect, and Tao Yuanshan of the Shu Kingdom’s Golden Dan Immortal Clan’s Tao Family.
All three of them only had early stage Jindan cultivation.
If a surprise attack was carried out on them, there should be a great possibility that these three would be killed.
Especially since there was a late Jindan sword cultivator like Gu Yuefeng among them.
With an all-out attack, even a late Jindan cultivator would be in danger of losing his life.
Against a mere early Jindan cultivator, as long as they didn’t expose their hiding place, they would definitely be able to get a hit.
At this moment, a group of Zheng and Shu cultivators were still attacking the Wind Family’s mountain protection formation with all their might.
It had to be said.
After their sleepless attack this day and night.
The light of the entire Wind Family’s Mountain Protection Formation was already extremely dim.
Looking at that appearance, it seemed to have signs of collapsing at any time.
This, in turn, prompted the cultivators of Zheng and Shu to place almost all of their thoughts and attention on the Wind Family’s Mountain Protector Formation in front of them.
So much so that they overlooked some of the details around them.
In fact.
In this current situation, unless there were Jindan cultivators who kept their attention on their surroundings.
Otherwise, if one wanted to see through the movements of Hou Dongbai and the others, or detect certain abnormalities, it would almost be an unlikely thing.
At most, there would be a trace of abnormality that even they themselves would not care about that would occasionally pass through their minds.
This simply did not have much of an effect.
So much so that when Hou Dongbai and Zheng Beilong, among others, actually launched an attack on them, these Jindan cultivators present were unable to react for a moment.
Tear-
Seeing in mid-air, a ferocious to the extreme terrifying sword light was clearly tearing apart Guanglin Sect Xing Yangzi’s protective magic power, and then under his incredulous gaze, it instantly pierced into his brow, nailing his entire person straight to the ground.
The person who was able to cut out such a terrifying sword light in the blink of an eye was naturally the Bishui Sword Pavilion’s Gu Yuefeng.
After him, the four people, Hou Dongbai, Yao Fang Fang, Li Mingkong, and Wen Shujun, were not idle either.
The four of them struck out in unison.
In an instant, all sorts of spells and aptitudes immediately fell towards the Snow Silver Fairy present.
Immediately, it caused this Jindan female cultivator of the Qing You Sect, who was known for her beauty, to show her face in shock.
She subconsciously offered up a defensive magic treasure.
However, under the joint attack of the four Jindan cultivators, the defensive magic treasure she had offered up was quickly knocked away, followed by four ferocious attacks that landed directly on her body in four different directions.
Accompanied by a rushing spiritual light rose up.
This beautiful Jindan female cultivator from Zheng Kingdom’s Qing Yu Sect also died on the spot.
The remaining Tao Yuanshan likewise did not escape his fate of falling.
Under the combined attacks of Zheng Beilong, Meng Lanzhu, Situ Zhan, and Nangong Baijun, he soon followed in the footsteps of the previous two.
It was only at this moment that the group of Zheng and Shu cultivators who were shocked by the sudden attack in front of them snapped back to their senses.
Everyone was furious.
In particular, Daoist Jingxu, who had just lost his fellow disciples, as well as the cultivators of the Guanglin Sect and the Tao Family, were even more enraged.
Without saying a word, these people immediately switched targets and began to attack the incoming Hou Dongbai and Zheng Beilong and the others.
The remaining Guo Yuansheng and Shangguan Yongchang and the others also knew that this matter was finally going to take a turn for the worse.
Even though they were unwilling to do so in their hearts, they could only switch targets and begin to battle against Hou Dongbai and Zheng Beilong.
A great battle between Jindan cultivators, how violent was that?
Not to mention that this was a battle between twenty Jindan cultivators.
Its might instantly spread over a hundred miles in a radius.
Boom boom boom!
Countless brilliant and murderous light flashes bloomed in midair.
Because their side had Gu Yuefeng, a late Jindan sword cultivator, there were only nine people fighting on their side for the time being, but they were also tied with eleven people from the other side.
Especially Gu Yuefeng.
He alone had involved Guo Yuansheng, Daoist Jingxu, and Shangguan Yongsheng, three cultivators who had reached the sixth level of Jindan.
The remaining sixteen people had each found their own opponents.
However, there was one person who had not appeared since the beginning.
Even with the surprise attack from the crowd just now, he did not reveal his own whereabouts.
This person was none other than Jiang Chengxuan, who had utilized the Avatar Phaseless.
At this moment, he was calmly observing the entire battlefield.
Judging the timing of his strike.
He soon noticed that Shangguan Yongchang, who was fighting with Wen Shujun, was the first to fall into a disadvantage.
As time continued, Shangguan Yongchang’s disadvantage became more and more obvious.
However, both of them were mid-Jindan cultivators.
Although Shangguan Yongchang was weaker than Wen Shujun in terms of both cultivation and magical treasure aptitude.
But when cultivators at this level fought against each other, unless there was an absolute suppression of strength, it was still relatively difficult to distinguish a winner in a short period of time.
Jiang Chengxuan had searched for the right moment to approach the battlefield where the two of them were in a quiet and unobtrusive manner.
