Chapter 49: The Beginning of the War
As the battle progressed, the Blood Skull Warriors joined the battle one by one. At the tail of the army, from time to time there were some lone bloody soldiers. Xiao Jiu, who was already ready to ambush, quietly activated the formation and dragged a blood soldier in the late stage of the Gangqi Realm into the formation.
As soon as it entered the formation, the ambushed blood soldier seemed to disappear, and it was impossible to see where it had gone outside the formation. The first few blood soldiers heard some movement at first, but when they turned around, they didn't find anything abnormal, so they continued to kill Tiancheng Mountain.
Xiao Jiu held a measuring stick in his hand, aiming it at the head of the blood soldier.
Listening to the sound of Bang, the measuring stick hit the back of the blood soldier's head and hit it into the center of the formation.
"Kill!"
Xiao Jiu shouted violently, and the ten Yuan Qi Realm cultivators exerted their strength in unison, controlling the formation, and attacking the blood soldiers from all directions. However, after an attack, it didn't cause much damage, it just trapped the blood soldiers.
At this time, the blood soldiers also reacted and struggled to get rid of the shackles of the formation.
"Oh no! The attacks are too scattered, and the power is too small to kill effectively!"
In a hurry, the old rainy sky saw the problem at a glance.
"Shock, position, position, position, position, continue to bind, others attack the heart with all their might!"
"Kill!"
The strength of everyone gathered, and it was a fierce attack to aim at the blood soldiers.
However, with such a powerful attack, the blood soldier only had a part of his chest recessed, and did not cause much damage.
Stunned, the blood soldier stretched out two arms, plunged into the chests of the two monks, and grabbed out two hearts that were still vibrating.
The two young monks looked down at their chests and saw that it was empty. With the last of their strength, they stretched out their arms to reclaim their hearts, but their bodies suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground, dying with a look of disbelief.
At the same time, the blood soldier opened his mouth and swallowed two hearts, and the blood stained his entire face, which looked extremely terrifying.
"Keep attacking, everyone!"
Xiao Jiu shouted again, waking everyone up, and everyone wanted to attack again, but the fierce blood soldiers almost broke free from the shackles of the formation.
Xiao Jiu immediately made a decision and ordered: "Qian, Kun, Xun, and Gen, stabilize the formation, don't let it break free! The others continue to attack!"
The eight monks in the late stage of the Yuan Qi controlled the formation from eight directions, entangled the blood soldiers to death. The remaining eight monks, together with Xiao Jiu, continued to attack the heart of the blood soldier according to their previous tactics.
"Bang!"
The measuring stick in Xiao Jiu's hand struck the wounded part of the blood soldier's chest, and there was a hard sound. Fortunately, his cultivation is also in the Gang Qi realm, and the blood soldier's injuries are even more serious.
Xiao Jiu's offensive retreated, and Chu Yunfeng replaced him from behind. The power of the steel and iron bones was unreserved, and like Xiao Jiu, he hammered his fist into the wound of the blood soldier.
"Quack!"
There was a cracking sound, but it was Chu Yunfeng's punch that smashed into the flesh and blood of the blood soldier. The blow worked, Chu Yunfeng turned his fist into a palm and pulled a heart out.
Unlike the monk's living heart, the blood soldier's heart had no rhythm at all. Before he had time to take a closer look, the corpse of the blood soldier turned into a pile of blood qi, which merged into the heart in Chu Yunfeng's hand, and finally turned into a bead of blood.
"Well done!"
Xiao Jiu exclaimed sincerely.
Chu Yunfeng's killing of the blood soldier with one blow was based on Xiao Jiu's attack just now. Even so, if it were replaced by any of the other late-stage Yuan Qi cultivators present, it would never have such an effect.
In other words, the power that Chu Yunfeng had just exerted was already infinitely close to the Gang Qi Realm.
After taking a breath of relief, Chu Yunfeng handed the blood bead in his hand to Xiao Jiu. He is the leader here, and he is the highest level of cultivation, so it is most appropriate for him to keep it.
Xiao Jiu took the blood bead, raised it above his head so that everyone could see it, and said loudly: "Everyone has seen it, if Chu Yunfeng's blow hadn't worked just now, I'm afraid we would have to fight for a long time, maybe a few more lives." Therefore, I propose: This first blood bead is reserved for Chu Yunfeng!"
"I agree!" As soon as Xiao Jiu's words fell, Yu Zhongtian nodded in agreement, "Brother Chu, it can be seen that you have cultivated the art of body refining. You can quickly use this blood bead to cultivate, and after improving our strength, help us kill more blood soldiers and earn more blood beads!"
As soon as these words came out, the other monks who had some opinions immediately felt justified.
Among the group, only Xiao Jiu had a Gang Qi Realm combat power, which seriously affected the overall strength of the team. If Chu Yunfeng's strength became stronger, it would be possible to share a little more pressure and reduce the casualty rate.
"Yes!
Reaching an agreement, Chu Yunfeng did not shirk it, and immediately found a hidden place to absorb the power of blood qi in the blood beads.
An hour later, the blood beads were consumed, and Chu Yunfeng's physical strength increased by as much as five stones, which was equivalent to half of his previous strength.
Just one blood bead turned into a blood soldier had so much energy that he was excited.
Fifteen stone power!
The strength of this level is already not much different from that of a monk who has just entered the Gang Qi Realm. Xiu Wei has not yet been promoted to the Gangqi Realm, but he has the strength of the Gangqi Realm, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain this time.
Feeling the aura on Chu Yunfeng's body, Xiao Jiu nodded secretly. Although the Yunxiao Immortal Sect is a lonely sect, it is not easy for a good seedling to appear.
"Now that we've finished cultivating, we're starting to look for the next target!"
On the battlefield of more than 10,000 people, the battle was fierce. It took a full hour before he found a lone bloody soldier again.
With the first experience, everyone concocted according to the law. After paying the price of four people being injured, another blood bead was obtained, which was temporarily kept by Xiao Jiu.
The reason why Chu Yunfeng was not allowed to cultivate again was because a previous blood bead had already improved his strength a lot, and it was not appropriate to absorb blood qi again in a short period of time.
Three days later, in addition to the four dead monks, each of the living monks received a bead of blood.
At this time, the battle on the battlefield was also coming to an end.
The alliance side lost nearly a thousand people, and the Blood Skull Legion actually lost as many as three thousand, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations. But when you think about it, it's not so surprising.
When the members of the alliance learned the value of the blood beads, they fought hard, even crazier than blood skeletons. You know, these blood skeletons are treasures.
The blood beads of the blood soldier grade are worth the equivalent of one hundred spirit stones, the blood handsome grade is close to five hundred, and the blood general level is no less than five thousand.
The entire alliance army was red-eyed, if it weren't for Yuwen Wangtian Mingjin to withdraw his troops, in less than two days, the remaining two thousand blood soldiers would not want to go back.
But all the Alliance sergeants who survived became rich people. Originally, he was a little angry that the sect had filmed himself as cannon fodder, but now he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
As night fell, a bonfire was lit near the tent, and many people were gathered around it. Some are two or three pieces, and some are more than a dozen pieces, so it's not lively.
Xiao Jiu led Chu Yunfeng, Yu Zhongtian and others around a bonfire on the outskirts of the camp.
"Senior Brother Xiao, come! I'll toast you!"
In the rain, Tian Tian held a bowl of wine, raised it above his head, dried it happily, and turned the bowl down, signaling that he had drunk it all.
Xiao Jiu was not pretentious, picked up his bowl and drank it all.
"Brothers, the Blood Skull Army is only temporarily retreating, our mission is not over yet, everyone drink less!"
After making a fuss for half an hour, Xiao Jiu led a team of men and horses to the bottom of the mountain and rearranged the surveillance network.
This time, everyone was already familiar with the road, and the arrangement was quickly completed. The rest of the time was spent arranging the formation. Everyone tasted the sweetness and spared no effort to get to work.
At Xiao Jiu's request, this time, in addition to the formations previously arranged, two additional formations were added: the Trapped Dragon Formation and the Defensive Formation.
The trapped dragon array is a kind of auxiliary formation, which strengthens the binding effect of the formation, and the defensive array is naturally used to provide defense. In the battle in the first two days, four monks died, mainly due to two reasons: first, everyone misestimated the strength of the blood soldiers, which was a precaution, and second, there was no formation protection.
"These are runes and drawings," Xiao Jiu took out a lot of materials and distributed them to the people present, "According to the requirements on the drawings, depict the formation above within a range of ten miles." In a group of four, within two days, six large formations will be arranged!"
"Senior Brother Xiao, with our speed, there is no problem at all in arranging ten seats, why only six seats?"
Yu Zhongtian asked puzzled.
In addition to the rainy sky, there are many people who have doubts in their hearts, one more formation can kill a lot of bloody soldiers, and the more resources they can get.
After gathering more than a dozen people together and looking around, Xiao Jiu said in a deep voice:
"As far as I know, the last time we fought with the Alliance Army, the Blood Skeleton was only a small wave. Less than a hundred miles ahead, there were more than 15,000 bloody soldiers. If you fight again, it will be a desperate fight. We will wait for our cultivation to be low, and we should accept it when we see it!"
At this time, everyone suddenly realized, and they admired Xiao Jiu more and more in their hearts.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jiu said a plan that surprised everyone:
"After the six large arrays are arranged, the rest of the time is used to arrange an escape route!"
In large-scale battles, it is difficult to sneak attack all the time without being discovered by the other side. As long as they are targeted by a blood marshal, these Yuan Qi Realm monks will not be able to leave.
When the battle is in full swing, there is a high probability that the Battle of the Purple Mansion Realm will occur. It's good that the strong people on both sides follow the rules, but once one side oversteps, it will affect the low-level monks.
The reason why I think so much is mainly because the previous battles were too crazy.
In the eyes of both parties, each other is fat. The Blood Skull army wants to suck the blood of the monks, and the Alliance monks want to kill the Blood Skulls to get the blood beads. It's up to you to see who's crazier than whom.
In this case, the situation is difficult to control, and it is necessary to make more preparations.
