Chapter 42: Winning or Losing

"Let's enter the formation first, each of us is responsible for two directions, and we must not let those ghouls break through this positive and negative nine-star formation!"

The experienced disciple led by the Nine Divine Palace quickly commanded, and he seemed extremely experienced!

Feng Ruo didn't hesitate, and followed the three of them to rush into the positive and negative nine-star formations that Ning Yao and the others had arranged before, and at this time, the entire wide hill had already been surrounded by a large tide of black shadows, due to the night, they couldn't see the appearance of these ghouls clearly, and they could only vaguely see a huge black figure!

"Everyone be careful, these are all lowest-level fourth-level ghouls, and there may also be fifth-level ghouls that can fly hidden inside, so when attacking, you must not leave the protective range of the formation! We just need to hold out until dawn and reinforcements will arrive! What is that Daoist friend called? In the lower Nine Divine Palace, the third generation disciple Yun Hao, these two are the junior brother Zhao Tong and the junior sister Yun Feng!"

"My name is Feng Ruo, and I am a preparatory disciple of the Third Courtyard of Zhentian Sect, just like you, reinforcements will arrive after dawn!"

Feng Ruo said a little strangely, but what he thought in his heart was why the experienced disciples of the Nine Divine Palace also set up the meeting place here? Is it a coincidence? Could it be that the competition between the disciples of the two major sects of the Nine Divine Palace and the Zhentian Sect has actually begun at this moment? If this is the case, Ning Yao's departure is really a big mistake!

"Bang-bang-!"

As he spoke, there were already more than ten fourth-level ghouls slamming into the positive and negative nine-star formations, but they did not have much impact on this defensive formation, and with the help of the silver light curtain, Feng Ruo finally saw the true appearance of these fourth-level ghouls, but this thing was not the same as he imagined, although the volume was huge, more than two feet high, but all the upper and lower parts of the body were shrouded in black mist, and the claws exposed below were actually similar to the bones of spirit beasts, and they were different!

"Fire clouds!"

At this time, Zhao Tong of the Nine Divine Palace suddenly let out a low shout, and then fierce flames shot out from his hands, these flames were extremely numerous, but in the blink of an eye, a sea of fire with a range of more than ten zhang was formed outside!

This turned out to be an advanced spell for the Fireball Spell!

And with the appearance of this raging sea of fire, it immediately wrapped the fourth-level ghouls within this range, the black mist on the ghouls seemed to be extremely afraid of flames, but they were burned all over the place in the blink of an eye, and at this time, Feng Ruo found that those black mist were wrapped in the bones of various spirit beasts!

"Feng Ruo! Don't be in a daze! Attack immediately! Also, these ghouls will only be afraid of fire caste spells, don't waste mana to cast spells of other castes!"

Yun Hao on the other side suddenly shouted, at this moment, he and Yun Feng had already released their respective sword weapons to attack.

"Understood!"

Feng Ruo also hurriedly released the Phantom Sword and began to kill the endless fourth-level ghouls outside, but he had only just mastered the five basic sword techniques of forward, backward, left-handed, right-handed and sword-out, so he looked very pale in the face of the attacks of dozens of fourth-level ghouls, and often killed a fourth-level ghoul, he had to adjust the direction of the Phantom Sword, otherwise he was afraid that he would have been shocked a long time ago!

Fortunately, the attackers outside were all fourth-level ghouls, and they couldn't break through the defense of the positive and negative nine-star formations in a short period of time, so even if he killed very slowly, he could still maintain his balance!

And Yun Hao and the three of them are undoubtedly much easier than Feng Ruo, because the three of them are all cultivators in the late stage of foundation building, so there is no need to say that Zhao Tong can block those fourth-level ghouls from half a pillar of incense with a single Huo Yunteng spell, and with his mana, he should be able to cast it seven or eight times, so it is the easiest.

As for Yun Hao and Yun Feng, the same is true for the two of them, the sword technique they have mastered is even more powerful than Feng Ruo, almost a sword trick can kill four or five ghouls!

"It's terrible!"

For this situation, Feng Ruo was also very helpless, in fact, he already had a relatively advanced sword technique in his hand, such as the sword technique fragment - the sword technique, as well as the sword picking technique and sword cutting technique that Mu Feixue gave him!

It's a pity that he hasn't been building the foundation for a long time after all, and it took him most of his time just to consolidate the realm, and he hasn't had time to start condensing the sword intent, and the sword intent can't reach the standard, he can't practice those three sword techniques at all, but if he wants to condense the sword intent, he must first find a medium-grade Five Elements Stone to strengthen the Phantom Sword, otherwise the low-grade Five Elements Stone consumed by each sword refining alone is not something he can afford!

"Quack-quack-"

Just when Feng Ruo was in a hurry and barely contained the fourth-level ghouls in these two directions, there was a sudden strange roar in the group of ghouls behind him, and then at least dozens of monsters like huge bats rushed into the sky and pounced directly towards Feng Ruo's direction!

"Oops! It's a fifth-level ghoul! Feng Ruo! Stand back! Is this the strength of the Zhentian Sect's experienced disciples? The powerful are as timid as mice, and the bold are pitiful as weak!"

At this time, Yun Hao on the other side suddenly rushed over, pinched the sword trick in his hand, and shouted lowly!

"Seal the Sword Technique!"

In just an instant, the sword light controlled by Yun Hao suddenly split into two, then into four, and finally turned into eight sword lights, directly enveloping a radius of more than ten zhang, and then catapulted away at an extremely fast speed from dozens of fifth-level ghouls in front of him!

I only heard the sound of "sighing", and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen fifth-level ghouls were divided by these eight sword lights, but then these eight sword lights returned to a sword light, and that Yun Hao's face was also pale, it was obvious that although the power of this sword trick was huge, the mana consumed was also serious!

"Brother, are you okay?" Yun Feng, who was sticking to the other side, asked with great anxiety.

"It's okay-that's weird! Those fifth-level ghouls can't stop it, this formation is over!" Yun Hao squinted his eyes and glanced at Feng Ruo, "Send a signal! You are smarter than those women, you should have guessed what was going on, but this encounter is not my Nine Divine Palace's fault! Your Zhentianzong lost, ask your leading uncle to come out and clean up this mess!"

"Send a signal?" Feng Ruo's heart jumped, this matter was really as he guessed, the competition between Zhentianzong and the Nine Divine Palace had actually started a long time ago, so now Yun Hao would say so, because the current situation does mean that Zhentianzong has already lost for a while!

"Not necessarily! Isn't it enough to hold on until dawn?"

Feng Ruo said expressionlessly, no longer paying attention to Yun Hao, quickly pinched the spell, knocked out the shield wall spell, and then rushed out without looking back!

"Hey, what are you doing? You're dying?"

Seeing Feng Ruo's move, Yun Hao suddenly shouted in surprise, there are thousands of ghouls outside, even with his strength in the late stage of foundation building, he doesn't dare to rush out, and he can't do it, they are just training, although all the experience disciples didn't know about it in advance, and even the other teammates of his experience team retreated for various reasons, but at least they still have three left, no matter what, they are much stronger than Zhentian Sect, but what is unexpected is that this Zhentian Sect disciple named Feng Ruo is so crazy!

"Zhao Tong, little sister, protect the formation with all your might! We can't lose this game no matter what!"

As he spoke, Yun Hao took out a precious Huoluo Pill from his storage belt in great pain, and now they don't need to support it until dawn, as long as they hold on until Feng Ruo is injured or dies, or the leading master of Zhentian Sect can't help but come to the rescue, their Nine Divine Palace will win this first game!

At the same time, thousands of zhang away, two figures were standing silently, one of them was Mu Feixue, more than twenty zhang behind her, there was Ning Yao and the others with a guilty face, and on the other side, there were also seven or eight disciples of the Nine Divine Palace who also looked uneasy, but their eyes were all fixed on the battlefield in the distance!

"Chasman, let's take action! This time your sect has already lost, if you don't come to the rescue, that courageous disciple of your sect will be in danger!"

Three feet away from Mu Feixue's side, a young man who looked a little cynical was in a good place.

"That's not necessarily!Although there is still half an hour before dawn, what if the positive and negative nine-star formation is broken first?" Mu Feixue's tone was still as calm as ever, but the hands in the cuffs were a little tight!

"Okay! Then we might as well wait and see! I've heard a long time ago that the power of the Storm Splitting Sword Technique of the Storm Splitting Sky is extremely powerful, and now I have the honor to open my eyes! Hahaha!"

The man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, but this laughter was directly spread all over a radius of dozens of miles!

"It's Uncle Yan! Uncle Yan is nearby, we must support it! We must not lose to that kid who is only in the early stage of foundation building."

Hearing this laughter, Yun Hao and the three of them suddenly had infinite confidence in their hearts, and their previous worries were also swept away, and they went all out to kill the fourth-level ghouls who were impacting the formation around them!

At this time, Feng Ruo was gone, and it seemed that he had already been submerged in countless groups of ghouls!

But in fact, Feng Ruo just took back the Phantom Sword, because his swordsmanship was really not comparable to Yun Hao and them, since this was the case, there was no need to waste mana, so when he rushed out of the formation, he directly took back the Phantom Sword, and then took out the Ben Thunder Sword that strengthened the metal surname Zhongpin Five Elements Stone!

This Thunder Sword is definitely not as good as the Phantom Sword if it is used to perform swordsmanship, but because it is very sharp, it is very suitable for close combat!

Feng Ruo only had one thought now, he had to hold on until dawn no matter what, because he believed that this was also what Mu Feixue wanted, and on the other hand, he didn't want Zhen Tianzong to lose like this in the first encounter!

With the super defense of the shield wall spell, coupled with the sharpness of the Ben Thunder Sword, after Feng Ruo rushed into the group of fourth-level ghouls, there was no big problem for a while, after all, all the fourth-level ghouls around him were not very powerful, neither attack nor defense was very powerful, and the greater benefit, those fifth-level ghouls could not attack him because they were blocked!

For a while, Feng Ruo actually killed heartily, because he didn't need to consume mana now, and he had a shield wall spell to protect him outside, with the sharpness of the Ben Thunder Sword, plus the power bonus brought by the jasper ring, it was extremely easy to kill the surrounding ghouls!

But on the other side, Yun Hao and the other three were in danger, because the target of the positive and negative nine-star formation was even greater, and it attracted more than a dozen fifth-level ghouls, and when they saw the light of that formation, they quickly dimmed!

"You lost this game! Yan Daoyou! It's time for you to make a move!"

Thousands of feet away, Mu Feixue smiled indifferently and said that at this moment, her whole person suddenly had an unprecedented lightness!
