Chapter 453: Ambush and Pursuit [Ask for Subscription]
Absolute Desert.
Ever since the demon cultivators of the Yuan Demon Realm invaded the Heavenly Spirit Realm through the Absolute Spirit Desert, there have been many more rumors about this dangerous place.
It is rumored that the Absolute Desert did not exist in ancient times.
At that time, it was not only not the place where the spiritual veins are extinct today, but also a prosperous place in the immortal cultivation world where the spiritual veins gathered.
It's just that in ancient times, there was a great battle of the sixth-order powerhouse there, and in the earth-shattering battle of those sixth-order powerhouses, not only the underground spiritual veins were destroyed, but even the vitality of the earth was completely destroyed and cut off by the great divine power of the sixth-order powerhouse, and it was difficult to recover for thousands of years or ten thousand years.
Today's Absolute Spirit Desert not only has a thin aura and extinction of living beings, but also a dangerous place formed by the influence of the power of the great supernatural powers in ancient times.
In those dangerous places, even the Yuan Infant Monk could be injured!
The real Absolute Desert is actually more sinister than it is rumored to be.
After Zhou Chun and the others came here on the magic weapon [Hidden Dragon Boat], they saw that the earth was full of ravines, bare stones and hard soil everywhere, and many places seemed to have been burned by high-temperature flames, showing a crystalline state.
In some places, ponds and rivers have become ponds and rivers, but there are no fish or shrimp in the water, and there is no vegetation growing on the shore.
Even the ubiquitous insects are extremely rare to see here.
Zhou Chun has also been to a lot of places that can be called Jedi, but even the deserts and snowfields he has been to are considered good places compared to here.
It feels desolate and dead, lifeless, as if the earth is dead!
"By the way, there is something I want to tell you, if you fight on this peerless desert, the power of the magic power will be much weaker than that outside, and some of the magic powers that need to communicate with the aura of the outside world are even more impossible to use here, so when you are fighting the magic law, it is best to do what you can, and pay attention to saving your own mana!"
In a ravine, after Zhang Dongyang brought the [Hidden Dragon Boat] to a stop here, he saw that Zhou Chun and many others were worried about the situation of this peerless desert, and said a piece of news that made their hearts a lot heavier.
In fact, many people have heard of this before.
It's just that I didn't come to the Absolute Spirit Desert in person, so I didn't feel it so deeply.
"I've long heard that the spiritual energy in the Absolute Spirit Desert is thin, but I never thought that this would be the case!"
"The aura is thin into this situation, how did those damn demon cultivators pass through the entire Absolute Spirit Desert and reach my Heavenly Spirit Realm!"
An old man who had cultivated in the late stage of the Purple Mansion couldn't help but mutter, expressing the doubts in the hearts of many of the monks present.
Even though the two sides had been at war for almost twenty years, there was still a mystery about how the Demon Cultivator crossed the Absolute Spirit Desert from the Yuan Demon Realm to the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
At least for Zhou Chun and these monks, and Zhou Chun was sure that many Jindan monks didn't know either.
But Zhang Dongyang obviously didn't give them the idea of answering this doubt, but just waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can post these complaints in private in the future, and now I am ready to fight at any time!" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Chun and the others could only put out their minds and concentrate on recuperating their energy.
After waiting quietly like this for more than two days, suddenly Zhang Dongyang seemed to sense something, and took out a mirror-like magic weapon and looked at it.
After a moment of this, I heard him say in a deep voice: "The target has appeared, and now I will take you and the others to the front of the path that the target must pass and wait for the ambush!" ”
As he spoke, he re-controlled the [Hidden Dragon Boat] and flew away from the place where it was docked, heading towards somewhere in the desert.
After a while, the [Hidden Dragon Boat] stayed at a commanding height on the ground and lurked.
Then, after waiting for about half a day, Zhou Chun and the others saw the figure of the demon cultivator from a distance.
I saw that on the rugged and desolate land of the Absolute Spirit Desert, a giant centipede monster beast with a body length of more than ten zhang was connected to each other, galloping quickly on the ground.
The sword-footed structure of these giant centipede monsters is well suited to moving over such rugged terrain, no matter how steep the ravines and valleys are.
And on the backs of these giant centipede demon beasts, there are demon cultivators from the Yuan Demon Realm sitting or standing.
Their cultivation is high and low, the high one has the Purple Mansion period cultivation, and the low one is only the Qi refining period cultivation, and all men, women, and children have it.
At the same time, in the sky above the giant centipede demon beast, there were several demon birds carrying the Jindan period demon cultivator to escort the team.
Roughly speaking, the number of demon cultivators on the backs of those giant centipede demon beasts added up, I'm afraid it must be as many as twenty or thirty thousand people!
"Although the enemy is outnumbered, we are all elites, and in terms of numbers, we actually have the advantage!"
"So when you ambush next, you will each do what you can, and the strong ones will solve those Purple Mansion Stage Demon Cultivators, and the strength will almost kill as many middle and low-level Demon Cultivators as possible, all with the goal of maximizing the killing and damage of the enemy army!"
Zhang Dongyang looked at the demon cultivation army that was coming from afar, and did the pre-battle mobilization in a low tone.
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly added: "Also, remember to kill those earthly centipedes first when you do it, after these beasts are killed, those low-level demon cultivators have never died here, and there is no hope for them to get out of the Absolute Spirit Desert!" ”
When Zhou Chun and the others heard his words, they naturally responded one after another.
After waiting like this for almost an hour, when those earthly centipede demon beasts had already come to within thirty miles of the [Hidden Dragon Boat], Zhang Dongyang suddenly burst out and manipulated the flying boat to rush to the middle of the demon cultivation team.
Then Zhou Chun and the others inside were all thrown out, and the heavenly maidens in all directions flew everywhere like scattered flowers.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Dongyang and other Jindan period monks took the initiative to rush to those Jindan period demon cultivators who were escorting the demon cultivation army, not allowing these demon cultivators to have a chance to make a move against Zhou Chun and the others.
Besides, after Zhou Chun and the others were thrown out of the [Hidden Dragon Boat], even while sacrificing defensive magic weapons and protective spells to protect themselves, they also sacrificed magic weapons and spells to attack those earthly centipedes and demon cultivators on the ground.
Zhou Chun didn't have time to see what the others were doing, he himself directly urged the [Xuangang Bead] and the Silver Bell Magic Weapon to protect himself, and then sacrificed the "Golden Flame Demon Sword" that had just arrived and was still hot and slashed at a centipede.
At the same time, he took off the spirit beast bag on his waist with one hand and waved it, and the "Xuanjia Golden Feather" demon insects in the sky roared out and rushed straight to those demon cultivators on the ground.
And the Golden Armor Negative Mountain Turtle Stone also flew out and fell to the ground.
When it comes to abusing vegetables, he should be the best of these monks!
And those demon cultivators obviously didn't expect that there would be ambushes by the monks of the Heavenly Spirit Legion in the Absolute Spirit Desert.
This place, which can now be said to be the rear of their Demon Cultivation, should have been a very safe place.
Because of this, whether it was to preserve mana or relax their own mentality, the demon cultivators in these marches did not take any precautions.
After all, they still have Jindan stage demon cultivators in the sky to escort them, even if there is really an enemy, those Jindan stage demon cultivators will warn first!
How did they know that the Heavenly Spirit Legion was fighting them with such a psychological contrast, that is, ambushing them in the Absolute Spirit Desert that they thought was impossible to attack!
As a result, it was clear that the ambush of the Celestial Spirit Legion was a great success.
In the first round of Zhou Chun's attack alone, he killed a Centipede Demon Beast and killed hundreds of demon cultivators in an instant.
Later, the "Xuanjia Golden Feather" demon insects that spread out to kill everywhere, as well as the golden-armored negative mountain turtle stone after landing, were constantly creating results for him.
Thanks to him, he sacrificed the photo bead in advance to record it, otherwise he would really not be able to put away so many dead demon cultivator corpses to settle the battle merits one by one.
It was only after he succeeded in the first round of attacks that those demon cultivators finally recovered from this shocking change, and they were furious and launched a resistance and counterattack.
On Zhou Chun's side, the two Purple Mansion Period Demon Cultivators each shouted angrily, and launched an attack on him with eerie magic weapons and magic spells.
These two demon cultivators seem to be the path of the Yin Ghost Sect, if Zhou Chun releases the Thunder Python in vain, he can let them know what pain is in an instant.
But fearing Zhang Dongyang, who had cultivated spiritual powers in the sky, Zhou Chun did not do so immediately.
I saw that as soon as his mana urged the silver bell magic weapon used for defense, a circle of silver sound waves rushed towards the Yin Demon that rushed towards several heads.
These disembodied Yin Demons, it is difficult for magic weapons such as flying swords to effectively damage them, but sound waves can play a certain role in restraint, making their souls unstable.
At the same time, Zhou Chun's magic trick pinched, and a golden spar inlaid on the "Golden Flame Demon Knife" suddenly burst into golden light, and the golden light turned into a flame of light and attached to the body of the knife, turning the treasure knife into a flame golden knife and slashing into the air towards a mid-stage demon cultivator of the Purple Mansion.
This knife is the proud work of a certain refining master of the Yanyang Sect, and its brilliance lies in this golden light flame.
This kind of golden light flame is very effective in refining yin evil demonic qi, and it is attached to the body of the knife, not only is it difficult for many demonic defilement magic weapons to work, but it can also add demon refining flame damage when attacking demon cultivation.
The demon cultivator that Zhou Chun attacked didn't know that this knife was powerful, and originally he just sacrificed a ghostly gray-black shield magic weapon to resist the attack of the flame golden knife, but it was only a few knives, and the third-order mid-grade magic weapon shield was full of cracks, and it was quickly shattered into pieces!
Such a fierce and domineering attack also frightened this person to the point that his soul was in danger, and he hurriedly turned to the defensive with all his strength to resist Zhou Chun's attack.
As for the other mid-stage Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator, Zhou Chun sacrificed another new magic weapon, the "Golden Light Demon Destroying Mirror", to deal with.
I saw a golden gossip mirror hovering in the air, and with the urging of Zhou Chun's mana, the golden light on the mirror converged, and soon burst out a beam of golden divine light and blasted towards the opposite demon cultivator.
The speed of that golden divine light was comparable to lightning, and in an instant, it was in front of the demon cultivator on the opposite side.
This demon cultivator originally urged the thick Yin Demon Cloud to protect himself, and the whole person hid in the Demon Cloud and attacked Zhou Chun.
As a result, the black demon cloud was illuminated by this golden divine light, and the clouds instantly dispersed like ice and snow melting.
The demon cultivator inside realized it later, and in a panic, he could only wave the magic flag in his hand to block it.
In the end, although he was lucky enough to escape, the Yin Soul Banner that had been successfully cultivated with great effort in his hand was shattered in the Golden Light Cave Shot, and it was no longer useful.
Such a loss also made this demon cultivator's heart ache.
Originally, he was full of hope and wanted to take advantage of this expedition to the Heavenly Spirit Realm to collect the souls of monks and mortals to sacrifice this magic weapon, so that it could be promoted to the third-order upper grade as soon as possible.
I don't want to really set foot on the land of the Heavenly Spirit Realm now, this magic weapon that has followed him since the foundation building period has been seriously damaged!
And Zhou Chun saw that as soon as the two magic weapons he newly got in his hands were shot, he suppressed the two mid-stage Purple Mansion Demon Cultivators, and he was also very satisfied in his heart, and sighed that the money was well spent.
If he didn't have these two magic weapons, even if he cultivated to break through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion, he would definitely not be able to suppress the two mid-stage Purple Mansion demon cultivators as easily as he is now.
Since the two magic weapons were so powerful, Zhou Chun was even less anxious to release the Thunder Python in vain.
Immediately, while fighting the two demon cultivators with all his might, he also took the time to release the golden-winged tiger that he hadn't used for a long time to bully those demon cultivators in the foundation building period, and brush up his battle exploits.
After fighting fiercely with the two demon cultivators for almost half an hour, Zhou Chun flicked his finger at the right time, and a green light shot out, instantly piercing through the shield of a demon cultivator and submerging into his body.
"Ahh Poisonous on the needle, you are so despicable! ”
The demon cultivator in the middle needle screamed miserably, and soon his face turned black and hurriedly fell to the ground to take medicine to suppress the toxin.
But he didn't know at all that the poison of that poison needle was not something that most detoxification elixirs could dissolve at all, and it could basically be said that the middle one would die!
And after Zhou Chun used this poisonous needle obtained from the demon cultivator Xu Qinglin to sneak attack, he quickly concentrated all his strength to deal with the remaining demon cultivator.
Not long after, when the poisoned demon cultivator on the ground was almost poisoned to death, he also successfully used the "Golden Flame Demon Knife" to break through the opponent's protection and cut off the opponent's head.
"I feel that the strength of these two demon cultivators is a little worse than those previous demon cultivators of the Yin Ghost Sect, could it be because the first batch of cultivators who came to the Heavenly Spirit and Earth Realm are all the elites of this Demon Sect?"
Zhou Chun glanced at the two demon cultivators who were killed by himself, and secretly had a comparison and guess in his heart.
Then as soon as he collected the corpses and relics of the two demon cultivators, he raised his knife and killed those middle and low-level demon cultivators.
Just like what Zhang Dongyang said before, although the number of monks in this demon cultivation team is large, the total number of demon cultivators in the Purple Mansion period is only one hundred and sixty or seventy, which is barely equivalent to the number of monks in their demon punishment camp.
But these people in their Demon Punishment Camp are all carefully selected elites, and many of them have the strength of one against two like him Zhou Chun.
Even the "Seven Heroes of the Heavenly Spirit" came with three!
Therefore, when Zhou Chun killed the two demon cultivators, those Purple Mansion Stage demon cultivators on the battlefield had basically been selected as targets, and twenty or thirty people had already fallen!
In this case, if Zhou Chun still dealt with those Purple Mansion Period Demon Cultivators who were selected as targets, he would be suspected of stealing credit.
He didn't want to do something that would make people angry.
Anyway, even if you kill the Demon Cultivator in the Foundation Building Period, you can still get battle merits.
However, at this time, those demon cultivators had already scattered and fled, and they could no longer cut a large piece of grass like before.
Zhou Chun can only fight mosquitoes with cannons, and if he can hit one by one, he will pick a big chase first.
Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, more than an hour had passed for Zhou Chun and the others to ambush the demon cultivator.
After more than an hour of fighting, nearly seventy percent of the Purple Mansion Stage monks in the Demon Cultivator were killed, and the rest were scattered and fled with the Great Injury Escape Technique.
But in this Absolute Spirit Desert, it is also difficult to say whether they can return to the Yuan Demon Legion alive after being greatly injured.
And tens of thousands of middle and low-level demon cultivators were also killed and injured under the dimensionality reduction blows of Zhou Chun and other Purple Mansion period cultivators, and less than 20% of them survived!
Such results are not insignificant.
Ben had come to this point, and they could retreat.
However, Zhang Dongyang, who was in charge of directing the operation, saw that the situation was so smooth and felt that he could seize the opportunity to kill one or two more Demon Cultivators of the Yudan Period, so he did not rush to order a retreat.
After all, the opportunity is indeed rare, there are only eight Jindan stage demon cultivators escorted this time, and there is not a single Jindan stage demon cultivator.
Just give them a little more time, and they can create even greater results!
So he quickly shouted and said: "Yang Tianxiong, Gu Jinyan, Peng Wuji, the three of you will also use the means of protecting the Dao to help this seat punish the demons!" ”
The three people he named were the three monks on the list of the "Seven Masters of Heavenly Spirits" who followed him this time.
The previous battles of these three people were all very eye-catching, and each of them killed four Purple Mansion Stage Demon Cultivators on average, and their strength was really terrifying.
At this time, after being named by Zhang Dongyang and asking them to deal with the Jindan Period Demon Cultivator, the three of them not only did not resist in fear, but instead glanced at each other, and they all flew up to the sky with high fighting spirit and laughed and participated in the battle.
And Zhou Chun really saw the terrifying strength of the three at this time.
I saw that these three people either had a "pseudo-magic weapon" in their hands, or they had a fourth-order puppet like him, or they were protected by a fourth-order demon beast.
With these means, the three of them have the strength to participate in the battle of the Jindan monks, and can pose enough threats to the Jindan monks.
In fact, when the three of them participated in the battle, they did quickly create an excellent opportunity for Zhang Dongyang and other Jindan stage monks.
In just a quarter of an hour, a Jindan early stage demon cultivator was smashed on the spot and died directly under the claws of the fourth-order wolf demon released by Gu Jinyan!
The fall of this Jindan period demon cultivator directly led to the domino effect, and the idle Jindan period monks and Gu Jinyan immediately joined other battlefields.
So only two quarters of an hour passed, and three Jindan stage demon cultivators had fallen.
Seeing this, the remaining few Jindan stage demon cultivators were also frightened to death, and they all tried their best to break through and flee for their lives.
But at this moment, the unexpected happened!
I saw a sharp sound of breaking the sky in the distance, and a white scratch came from far and near, and soon came to the vicinity of the battlefield, revealing the figure of a white bone flying boat.
And on that white bone flying boat, there were dozens of demon path cultivators standing impressively, among which there were as many as eight Jindan stage demon cultivators, and the rest were all late Purple Mansion monks and mid-Purple Mansion monks!
Seeing this situation, how could Zhou Chun and the others still not understand that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived.
Obviously, because of the arrival of reinforcements from these enemies, the situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable for them.
Because in terms of the number of Jindan stage monks, their side suddenly became a minority, and there were three fewer Jindan stage monks than the enemy!
"Not good, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, so let's disperse and evacuate!"
After a brief change in his complexion, Zhang Dongyang's face immediately gave a loud retreat order, and then took the lead in meeting the white bone flying boat.
He knew in his heart that because of his momentary greed, he was likely to make a big mistake today.
But now that the mistake has been made, it is useless to think about anything else, he can only try his best to make up for his mistake!
At the same time, at the moment when Zhang Dongyang ordered the retreat, Zhou Chun acted instantly.
He took off the spirit beast bag and put the golden armor negative mountain turtle stone and other spirit pets and demon insects into the spirit beast bag, and then directly urged the "Streamer Golden Rainbow" secret technique with all his strength to turn into a golden rainbow and fly away.
There were hundreds of monks who acted like him.
At this moment, everyone knows that if they continue to stay, even if they can temporarily block the offensive of those demon cultivators, they will fall into a passive situation, and in the end, they will likely be surrounded and killed by the second or even third wave of demon cultivator reinforcements.
After all, they are now behind enemy lines, and even if the Heavenly Spirit Legion wants to rescue them, it will be beyond their reach.
On the contrary, like now, everyone chooses one direction to escape alone, and if the number of demon cultivators is not dominant, there must be many people who can escape, or after avoiding the Jindan period demon cultivators, they will get a one-on-one opportunity with the Purple Mansion period demon cultivators.
As Zhou Chun expected, the three extra Jindan stage demon cultivators really immediately chose to hunt down the three "Heavenly Spirit Seven Masters" who had been in the limelight before.
This made him feel relieved, knowing that he should be stable.
With his true strength, as long as he is not chased by the Jindan Demon Cultivator, he is not afraid of anyone at all.
But not long after this breath was released, Zhou Chun's brows furrowed again.
Because he was also hunted down, and he still has an impression of the person who chased him.
This person was the one he saw on the way when he first went to the Fengguo battlefield to deliver things to Zhou Daoquan.
Back then, he also used the golden armor to bear the mountain turtle stone, and saved Zhou Daoquan's life from this person.
"Could it be that he saw the stone just now and remembered the events of the year?"
Zhou Chun's thoughts flashed in his heart, and he vaguely guessed the reason why this person chased and killed him.
But no matter what the reason is, since this person dares to chase and kill him, it means that the road has come to an end!
It's just that despite thinking like this in his heart, Zhou Chun never stopped and waited for the other party to pursue.
His "Streamer Golden Rainbow" escape method is naturally not comparable to the opponent's wind escape technique, but he can take advantage of the distance, and the other party will definitely not be able to catch up with him without chasing him for hundreds of miles.
Once he is a hundred miles away, even a Jindan period monk will not be able to see what is happening clearly, so he is naturally not afraid of revealing some hole cards!
