Chapter 607: The more miserable it is, the more excited it is
The third layer has turned from a dead place to a treasure house, and any danger has been left behind under the temptation of True Meaning Xuanjing. What's more, the weakness of the ice puppet has now been discovered, and there is a group of Yuanying masters as the main attackers, and Shen Hong and their group are also thriving in the third layer.
Of course, this is only compared to before, even if they are already very careful, they will only kill and run when they meet a large group of people when they meet a lonely, but the ice golem is by no means a vegetarian, even if they are surrounded by a crowd of enemies, it is definitely not easy to provoke.
After a few battles, even if everyone was already very cautious and measured between advancing and retreating, but under the power of the ice golem, nearly thirty percent of the staff was still reduced, and there were less than sixty of the original nearly 100 people left, and most of the people in it were people from the four major sects, except for the Shen family, the rest of the clan children who came to fish in troubled waters have almost all been wiped out.
In fact, it is not surprising that the children of the four sects are all brothers of the same sect, and they far surpass others in terms of the grade of the battle formation and the tacit understanding of cooperation between advance and retreat. The rest of the people are either scattered cultivators or have not even found the children of the same clan, even if they abandon their prejudices for the sake of profit and safety, it will not help to form a team to form a battle formation, the formation is not as good as the tacit understanding of the four sects, and it is only natural that there will be heavy casualties.
Although the disciples of the four sects had an advantage in numbers, their casualties were actually not small. Like the Ice Palace and Silent Mountain, the two super forces that have stayed in the Silent Snow Field all the year round are okay, and the combined number of the two families is less than two dead, compared to the Mangshan Sword Sect and the Hundred Saints Pavilion, it is much worse. Especially the Hundred Saints Pavilion, when he came, the seventeenth or eighteenth person was almost about to fall out of double digits after a few battles, Jiang Xiao himself was covered in injuries, and several wounds that could not heal for a while were so condensed with red frost hanging on his body, which looked extremely miserable.
This is not a question of cultivation, but a question of character, or the desire of the Dao heart.
The reason why cult cultivators are called evil is not because of how vicious and cruel the exercises they practice are, but because their understanding of the Dao mind is different from that of ordinary people, and even cannot be accepted by ordinary people. Many monks practice in order to transcend the realm of bliss of self-general freedom, and from then on immortal and immortal in the eternal world, but the true self and freedom of evil cultivation are too freewheeling, and in many ways it can even be said to be unscrupulous for their own selfish desires.
In fact, the cult cultivators have brought the selfishness of human nature to the extreme, and as long as they can achieve the perfection of their minds, they will not care about anyone's feelings. I only benefit myself and don't care about others, as long as I can be happy and get benefits, don't cry or laugh or be angry or complain What does it have to do with me, this is the true self and freedom.
Because of the extreme pursuit of freewheeling, many times evil cultivators will even do some things that harm others and themselves, just to find a fun time for themselves, this kind of absurd and unreasonable behavior makes many people grit their teeth and disgust to the extreme. But for evil cultivators, it doesn't matter whether this kind of behavior is beneficial or not, the important thing is to let their minds flow smoothly and the Dao heart is complete, to put it bluntly, they are happy themselves, they are unfettered and not bound by any rules, this is the true self and freedom, and it is the pursuit of every evil cultivator in his life.
Evil cultivators are not all bad people, they just attach great importance to their own minds and are very unwilling to suppress their desires. As I just said, the behavior of harming others and not benefiting oneself is only one of the evil cultivators, and some evil cultivators are even more kind and upright than the people in the righteous path, but they also carry forward their own goodness to the extreme, so that they are also unreasonably cited as freaks, so they are also included in the list of evil cultivators.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for some people to say that there is no distinction between good and evil among monks, that monks are all crazy and paranoid, and that evil monks are just the craziest and most paranoid among them, because they are too different from ordinary people to be called heretics.
The earliest evil cultivators were not shouted and beaten by everyone like they are now, and the original evil cultivators were just a title, just like a nickname. However, after a slow evolution and development, many traitors and evil people were also called evil cultivators, and over time, the name of evil cultivators became synonymous with evil.
Today, the evil cultivator has long exceeded his original meaning, and for the current monks, the evil cultivator represents a force, an evil force led by the Hundred Holy Pavilion. An evil Dao family like the Liu family is actually not an evil cultivator at all in essence, they are only forced to join the evil path camp because of the situation, and although the evil path leader of the Hundred Saints Pavilion is a serious eight hundred evil cultivation sect, compared with the Mangshan Sword Sect, except for the different styles of the Dao heart, there is not much difference between the two families in other aspects.
But it is precisely the different style of the door that has caused today's situation. Because they are unwilling to bear their minds, most people in the evil path are known for their good attack, and there is not much market for this kind of road in the evil way. And today, Jiang Xiao and the others suffered in this regard, knowing that they would not be able to face the ice golem head-on, but under the temptation of True Meaning Xuanjing and the influence of what they had cultivated and learned on weekdays, they still made them take risks several times.
It's just a matter of rushing forward, but the exercises and battle formations of the Hundred Saints Pavilion are known for their aggressiveness, and the disciples of the Hundred Saints Pavilion have always blasted their opponents into the abyss like attacking and defending the wind and sweeping the leaves, so after a few tough battles, Jiang Xiao and they lost nearly half of their hands in front of the ice puppet.
The Mangshan Sword Sect is also good at attacking, but they are also good at defending. The way of the sword is varied, many routines are centered on planning and then moving, attacking and defending as if advancing and retreating freely is one of the essence of the swordsmanship of the Mangshan Sword Sect, and it is also the sword path that Feng Qinghai has learned, and the same is true of the sword formation laid by these disciples of the Mangshan Sword Sect, so it will suffer little damage in front of the ice golem.
Jiang Xiao also saw this, but there was nothing he could do if he gritted his teeth, because this problem was not something that his cultivation realm could solve. But it doesn't matter if it can't be solved, it doesn't matter if the defense is not as good as the other three, can't we hide a little?
Therefore, the people of the Hundred Saints Pavilion were extremely cautious between advancing and retreating, and during this period, Jiang Xiao was not idle, and took a group of senior brothers to the side of the Mangshan Sword Sect when they saw that the situation was not good, thinking that Fa'er would kill them offensively, and the people of the Mangshan Sword Sect would be easy to attack.
Feng Qinghai was angry enough, but he was helpless to regain his anger. The Mangshan Sword Sect and the Hundred Sage Pavilion have been fighting for tens of thousands of years, and it is not surprising that Jiang Xiao has done this.
In other places, Feng Qinghai may directly turn his face and make a move, but not here, the threat of the ice golem is not divided between you and me. In the face of the ice puppet, every point of combat power is extremely precious, Feng Qinghai can't turn his face and make a move towards Jiang Xiao, even if the old ghosts don't stop him, he and the villains of the Hundred Saints Pavilion have fought to the death and suffered heavy casualties, and after injuring the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred, he will not want to continue to explore the third-layer cold prison.
What's more, Jiang Xiao's actions are understandable, everyone is now in the same boat, and it is normal for them to resist coming to their "ally" for help. If Feng Qinghai really dared to turn his face with Jiang Xiao, he dared to use his head to guarantee that Jiang Xiao would definitely use this as an excuse to ask the other two sects and the old ghosts for "justice", and it would be difficult to say who these people would favor at that time.
Therefore, Feng Qinghai has been enduring the hatred in his heart, but he can't fulfill Jiang Xiao's wish so easily, as soon as he sees that the people in the Hundred Saints Pavilion have signs of coming to him, he directly leads people to move away, and the two groups of people chase and dodge, and the battle between the open and the dark is also quite lively.
Regarding the actions of the two of them, the others didn't say much in their eyes.
Bai Lengxiang and Song Zhong don't have this obligation, but the old ghosts don't care at all, these junior cultivators are cannon fodder to them, and it doesn't matter if they die or not. The scattered cultivators have long been accustomed to seeing it, it would be strange if the two families collided together if they didn't make something happen, as for Shen Hong, he had already laughed in his stomach, the purpose of his coming was to consume the people of these four sects, as the primary target of the Trapped Dragon Plan, the people of the Hundred Holy Pavilion and the people of the Mangshan Sword Sect made as much trouble as possible, as long as they didn't die, just leave a few alive for them to capture alive.
There was a lot of noise all the way, and everyone had unconsciously gone deep into the third layer. According to the map in Shen Hong's hand, they were nearly half a distance away from the nearest teleportation array.
Nearly half of the manpower was lost in less than half of the walk, and the rest were all injured, and there were only ten of the dozen old ghosts left, and the whole team could be said to have suffered heavy casualties.
Yuan Infant is also a human being, no matter how powerful they are, they have a limit, in the face of ice golems, they can only fight back and have the power to protect themselves, but after this series of battles, they have to grind off three points, and it is inevitable that there will be losses in manpower under severe consumption.
Besides, the dead Yuan babies are not distressed, and they don't even have the sad mood of the rabbit and the fox. First, everyone is not a parent, and secondly, everyone present before coming down knew that this trip was a chance to fight for fate, and now the opportunity has your life but it is gone, which can only mean that your skills are not as good as others, and you can't enjoy the chance.
Therefore, after losing so many people, not only are they not sad, but they are even more and more excited. Fewer people means fewer people who divide things, and those who die are defective, and the rest are elites. The only one who is a little sad is the disciple of the four sects, after all, they are brothers in the same sect, and they have to be sad if anyone dies day and night.
But when Ning Lezi "discriminately" divided the true meaning Xuanjing "fairly" to each of the four sects, this sadness disappeared in an instant. People die like lights go out, no matter how sad people are, they can't live, it's better to have that kung fu sad than to recuperate, maybe everyone can be "fair" to get a true meaning Xuanjing this time!
With this kind of thinking, the continuous loss of people not only did not make the team depressed, but also made everyone more and more excited. If someone else dies, he doesn't die means that he is an elite, and every time he dies, the greater the chance of getting the True Meaning Xuanjing, how can these people not be excited?
Therefore, when the entrance of the fourth layer suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the ten Yuanying Old Ghosts and Bai Lengxiang Feng Qinghai and they unanimously decided to go down to explore without much discussion, Shen Hong had the intention to stop but could not do anything, so he could only watch everyone disappear into the light gate in front of them one by one.
