Chapter 147: Sneak Attack (2-in-1)
After Ran Qingmo left, the battle began.
No, this scale can already be called a war.
A war between humans and monsters.
Regardless of the past and present life, this is the first time Xu Yuan has seen the picture of war.
A large number of demon beasts gushing out from all directions of the mist let out an earth-shattering roar, the shouts of the military and political soldiers who lined up outside the city to meet the enemy, and the sound of bowstring pulling one after another on the city wall.
An hour is too short after all, and even if the three walls are fully opened, and there are Shengshan border troops to evacuate the refugees, there are still many refugees stranded outside the city.
What's even worse is that in addition to all kinds of hideous demon beasts on the ground, there are also a large number of flying demon beasts that rush out of the fog.
However, fortunately, the Shengshan border army has a lot of experience in dealing with the tide of demon beasts, at least the front-line generals have a lot of experience in this regard.
They didn't form a large military formation to go head-to-head with the monster sea tide.
The 6,000 Sheng Mountain border troops arrayed outside the city formed more than 100 small military formations in teams (50 people), leaving gaps between the military formations and the military formations, and they were connected to each other, and the demon beasts with low intelligence rushed into the military formation, and more than 100 demon beasts were strangled in an instant when they met each other!
The Shengshan border troops on the city wall were not idle, controlling all kinds of large-scale city defense equipment.
The special crossbow engraved with the formation pattern, every arrow shot, flew sand and stones in an instant, and more than a dozen huge demon beasts were pierced through their chests like tofu!
The burst canister thrown by the catapult burst in the tide of monsters, splattering pieces of flesh and blood.
However, there are too many demon beasts, and many demon beasts have long-range attack methods.
Acid, fireballs, and water bombs smashed like a barrage into the military formations formed by the Shengshan border army.
Soon, the first dead and wounded of the Shengshan border army appeared, followed by the second and third.
Standing on the edge of the formation, Xu Yuan frowned and silently watched everything that happened in front of him.
This is a war that belongs to the transcendent world.
He felt his insignificance on the battlefield.
In a war of this scale, how many demon beasts can a third-grade powerhouse kill?
Two hundred, three hundred, or four hundred?
Even if you exhaust the source qi, you may not be able to kill five hundred.
Xu Yuan's gaze stared at the demon beast colonies with long-range attack methods in the distance.
Acid, fireballs, stray arrows and other attacks are very small threats to the three-rank powerhouses in normal times, and it is extremely easy to move or resist with combat skills, but the battlefield is too chaotic, and it is difficult to get out once you are deep in the demon group, and at this time, these various long-range attacks like stray arrows will become deadly weapons.
And it is even simpler to change to the human side, so that it is trapped in the military formation and cannot get out, and several rounds of crossbow equipment engraved with formation patterns are fired in a volley, and the great master of the three grades also has to hate on the spot.
On the battlefield of this level in front of you, perhaps only a second-grade or even first-grade Dao domain powerhouse can really influence the battle situation.
But the war in front of him is only a corner of the 100,000-mile border defense line in the Wanxing Mountains.
Most of the soldiers of the Shengshan Border Army are only eight or nine ranks, and even many of them are martial apprentices who have just entered the ranks, and the demon beast side is just a group of cannon fodder with low intelligence, and there is not even a decent demon clan commander.
In the Spring Tide War in front of the most important passes in the Wanxing Mountains, you can even see the existence of demon war behemoths, and the scale is at least ten times larger than in front of you.
And now the war taking place in the northern part of the Great Flame is even more so.
According to the Xiangguo Mansion's Class C Internal Reference,
The 30,000 Yulin troops that Princess Wuyuan brought to the north were all six-rank iron soldiers, while the barbarians had hundreds of thousands of troops.
In that kind of war, what kind of scale would it be to fight with hundreds of thousands of elite regiments on a large scale?
In such a war, what role can the saints and strong men play in it?
Everything on the battlefield was suffocating, and the battle between the Shengshan border army and the demon beasts continued.
Death, at this moment, became the only voice in the formation.
Gradually, as the casualties expanded, the ranks of the army under the command of Captain Wang began to retreat little by little in the direction of the city wall.
All the refugees outside the city have been forcibly evacuated into the urn city, and some people may die in the stampede, but at this moment, the military emergency can no longer take care of so much.
The Shengshan border army must not suffer too many casualties outside the city, otherwise the subsequent defense of the city will be extremely passive.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan silently calculated the time in his heart, took a deep breath, and raised the Qingyu Sword that Feng Jiuxuan gave him to his side.
Slash.
With the blessing of the soul power of the saint's remnant soul, Xu Yuan quietly teleported out of the Phantom Mist Array.
The world outside the array is quiet.
The moment the Phantom Mist Array came out, the shouts of the border troops, the roars of the demon beasts, and the hum of the City Protector Array all disappeared, replaced by a somewhat uncomfortable tranquility.
There are no clouds, the bright moonlight pours for thousands of miles, and the large areas of the mountains and forests where the buds are born are plated with a layer of silver, and the dense fog stands like a high wall on the edge of the mountain forest.
I couldn't see it really in the array, and I saw it clearly when I got out of the fog array, and it was not a square "mouth" shape, but a "dish" shape.
The two sides of the side adjacent to the Wanxing Mountain Range stretched out for a long distance, and scattered demon beast communities could be seen constantly rushing into the Phantom Mist Array.
The war inside the camp continues, and the battle outside the camp has begun.
Even if he didn't borrow the soul power of the saint's remnant soul, Xu Yuan sensed bursts of icy Yuan Qi constantly vibrating on the other side of the Phantom Mist Array.
The masters of the Vientiane Sect outside the formation made a move on Ran Qingmo.
Xu Yuan was not very surprised to see this scene, and asked silently in his heart:
"Old man Luo, how many people are on the other side?"
Hearing this, the remnant soul of the saint was slightly sensitive, and said with a low chuckle:
"Three third-grade grand masters."
"Three three pins?"
Xu Yuan muttered, his tone was sarcastic: "No wonder they choose to intercept and kill, Vientiane Sect is really a big deal." ”
For the Xiangguo Mansion, which has laid out most of the Great Yan, it is not a simple matter to secretly cultivate three unknown third-grade great masters, and this time the Vientiane Sect is estimated to have taken out all the blood.
After a pause, Xu Yuan then asked:
"There should be no problem on Ran Qingmo's side for the time being, right?"
The voice of the remnant soul of the saint was very relaxed:
"Don't worry, Ran Yatou is stronger than you think, she is now pressing the three people opposite to fight."
Xu Yuan was slightly relieved when he heard this, and said in a low voice:
"That's good, Old Man Luo, let's quickly set off to find the control formation."
The duo's plan was simple.
There are three rank great masters in the formation, even if Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo can kill each other through the fighting method, there is a high probability that they will not be able to stop the other party from destroying the formation. And as long as the three-grade great master is lured out, with the blessing of the saint's soul power, Xu Yuan will be sure that the low-level cultivators who will stay in the moment of finding the formation point will be in an instant, and he will control the formation to protect Shengshan County.
Therefore, when the Shengshan border army attacked the Phantom Mist Great Array, Ran Qingmo escaped alone first, seducing the people left behind in the Great Array of the Vientiane Sect to come out and intercept and kill her.
A single third-grade great master, if the Vientiane Sect was well prepared, he would never let her escape.
After all, this is a conspiracy by them to gamble on the "fortune of the country".
If you can besiege and kill without leaving a living mouth, you will inevitably besiege and kill.
And because of the slash, Xu Yuan could go out of battle without the help of the Shengshan border army.
With Ran Qingmo's kung fu of fighting with the masters of the Vientiane Sect, Xu Yuan could sneak to find the formation, and even if he couldn't find the control formation, he could also sneak over and give the three great masters of the Vientiane Sect a hard blow.
With a void in hand, no one knows how to sneak attack better than him.
Everything went smoothly,
Even in the face of the three great grandmaster powerhouses, the Great Ice Tuozi still methodically led the battle group towards the deep mountains little by little.
After waiting quietly for a while, Xu Yuan's figure moved, looking for possible control points along the edge of the Phantom Mist Array.
The speed is not fast or slow, there is a saint remnant soul who uses soul power to suppress the fluctuations of Yuan Qi, Xu Yuan is not worried that the three great masters who are in the fierce battle over there will be able to find him.
Everything has a source qi fluctuation, and there must be a connection between the manipulation array and the phantom fog array, and it shouldn't be too difficult to find this faint source qi connection through the powerful soul power of the saint's remnant soul.
But things didn't go as smoothly as Xu Yuan thought.
There is no in the west of Shengshan County, there is no in the north, and there is no in the east and south.
For two quarters of an hour, Xu Yuan circled around the entire Phantom Mist Array, but he couldn't find anything that seemed to be manipulating the array.
Returning to the original place again, Xu Yuan stared at the towering fog wall, his brows furrowed very tightly:
"Old man Luo, this control array can't be set inside this Phantom Mist Array, right?"
Hearing this, the remnant soul of the saint was silent for a while, and said in a low voice:
"It depends on what your sister's basic formation diagram looks like, if the basic formation diagram given by your kid's sister is not designed to control the formation in the formation, then it is basically impossible to be in it."
"What do you mean?" Xu Yuan immediately asked.
The remnant soul of the saint thought about his words slightly, and said in a low voice:
"The formation thing affects the whole body, the general structure, the detailed formation pattern of the Yuan Qi's operation, the materials used, etc., no matter which step has a slight deviation, the result may be a thousand miles wrong.
"And your sister activated and verified this Phantom Mist Great Array before leaving, which means that most of the processes have been completed, and at this time, if you want to add something to the array, the amount of work is no less than rebuilding, so if the basic array diagram is not there, then the control array secretly established by the Vientiane Sect will definitely be outside the array."
Xu Yuan recalled the memories related to the righteous sister in his mind, and shook his head:
"Xu Xinyao shouldn't be so stupid."
After that, Xu Yuan sighed and asked instead:
"If you turn around again, do you think you'll be able to find the control position?"
"Huh."
The remnant soul of the saint laughed lowly: "Xu boy, you can't find it when you walk down in a circle, you can't find it even if you turn a hundred times, this is a trick to destroy the sect at every turn, people in the Vientiane Sect don't know how long it has been planning, you want to crack it when you come up with a plan in a few minutes?" ”
Xu Yuan silently counted his breath when he heard this, his heart was a little complicated, and he said in a low voice:
"In that case, let's not waste time, let's go help Ran Qingmo, maybe we can catch a live torture. Well, I'll make a move, you can help me gather Yuan Qi. ”
The remnant of the saint raised an eyebrow:
"Are you sure you don't need me to do it?"
"I don't have any memories of the illusion, but a lot of things have been carved into my body."
Xu Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "In the illusion world, I have been doing the second grade for more than ten years, and it is just a sneak attack, it's not a big deal." ”
The remnant of the saint hesitated slightly, but still didn't say anything:
"You kid just know what to do."
After that, Xu Yuan chased all the way through the mountains and forests towards the trajectory of Ran Qingmo's battle.
"Boom ———"
An explosive roar resounded through the mountains, and the smoke and dust in the air cleared, revealing the shield made of ice crystals within.
Within this shield, a black-clothed figure with an ink sword looked at the three people around him with cold eyes.
Two men and one woman.
An old man, a burly man, and a slightly chubby woman.
Seeing that his attack was blocked by the other party, the burly man whispered to the old man while quickly retreating:
"No. A, this girl's exercises are wrong!"
"I want you to say it!"
The old man replied with a low voice, his figure was a little embarrassed at the moment.
A sword mark almost cut his thin body in half, and the ice crystals that spread out of the wound almost froze half of his body, if it weren't for the cover of the two companions beside him, he would have become the ghost of the woman opposite by the sword at this moment.
Thinking,
The old man's whole body shook violently, and the ice crystals covering the surface of his body shattered in an instant, and he whispered:
"This girl is obviously the precious apprentice of the old man of the Tianyuan Sword Sect!"
When the chubby woman heard this, her pupils shrank slightly:
"Ran Qingmo?! A sixteen-year-old great master like that Xu Changge? ”
When the burly man heard this, the corners of his eyes jumped unconsciously, and he said:
"Do you want to let this woman go? She didn't have any evidence anyway, and it was all over when reinforcements arrived. ”
When the chubby woman heard this, she echoed in a low voice:
"If the apprentice of the old man of the Sword Sect dies here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Sword Sect to explain."
The old man's brain was bruised:
"You two bastards! Is that scary?! What if? In case something happens, what will the sect do?!
"There is only one Xu Changge in this world, and fast cultivation does not mean that the strength is strong!"
Having said that, the eyes of the slightly chubby woman and the burly man staring at the woman in black opposite became extremely jealous.
Xu Changge's name was almost a nightmare for the sect.
The chubby woman and the burly man went to the Tianyuan Great Contest thirteen years ago.
At that time, the cultivation was only melting, and they were eliminated early, but they saw that the genius children of this generation were interrupted by the young man in Tsing Yi who was like an immortal.
A sword slashes the crushing of the same rank.
Even though the two of them have crossed over from the original fusion realm to the great grandmaster, when the "Xu Changge" of this generation appeared in front of the two, they were still facing a nearly crushing power.
Because the old man was almost beheaded by her as soon as he saw him.
The black-clothed woman in front of them made the two of them unconsciously think of the eldest son of Xiangguo's mansion.
The moonlight is like a waterfall, and the four of them are facing each other in the air.
Just as the hearts of the three soldiers of the Vientiane Sect were shaken, a blood-colored figure appeared behind the old man without any warning.
It's so sudden, so sudden that it even makes people think that there is something wrong with their eyes.
And at the moment when the other party appeared, the old man sensed the coming.
The old man didn't think that his soul sense was wrong, but it was too late.
His attention was all on the woman in black opposite, and the person behind him didn't give him any time to react.
Time seems to stand still,
The sword technique like splashing ink is like a flower blooming, cutting a graceful arc in the cold moonlight,
And then
The old man saw a familiar body without a head.
There was silence, and the headless corpse fell down like a kite with a broken string.
The mountain wind blew the long hair of his sideburns, and the man in blood stood in the void, his calm eyes fell on the stunned man and woman on the side, and his voice was warm:
"Now, I have something to ask you."
