Chapter 387: Artillery fire washes the ground, ten thousand swords kill the formation, the landslide reappears, and the canyon collapses
A civil war in Yuding lasted for twenty years.
One after another, countless battles, several twists and turns, and finally converged on the battlefield of Jilei Nine Mountains.
For this civil war, Luo Chen knows a lot.
He even sent Luo Tianhui's intelligence department to collect all kinds of intelligence.
Whether it's true or hearsay, he never stops knowing.
He also looked at the overall situation many times, sorted out the direction of the context, and tried to deduce the time when the war ended.
It can be said that Luo Chen thinks that except for the high-level Jindan of each sect and the two Yuanying Zhenren who have no end in sight, his level of cognition is far higher than that of most sect disciples, vassals, and scattered cultivators.
The more he knew, the more confused Luo Chen became.
Because!
War, that's not how it was fought!
In his cognition, if one side is strong and the other side is weak, then it is a blitzkrieg and a war of annihilation.
Thunderball, one blow!
Just like Luo Tianhui will target the Fu family and the Duan family.
It is by no means a drag, it has lasted for twenty years.
In the case of a double-strong situation, there are two scenarios.
Either sit down and have a good talk, or it's a long tug-of-war.
The former is impossible, and when it comes to the fourth-order spiritual land required for the cultivation of the Yuan Ying True Person, it is definitely impossible to talk about it.
Well, there's the last possibilityβa tug-of-war!
Judging from the current situation, it seems to be very in line with ordinary people's cognition.
But, no!
A real tug-of-war should at least have a corresponding important target as the focus of the attack.
The fourth-order ore vein accumulates nine mountains, which seems to meet this requirement very well.
However, this kind of struggle for resources and land can be carried out in a more "elegant" way.
Small-scale true sword fighting, a bold master's fighting style.
It's really not good, two yuan babies can be solved by simply learning one or two.
It doesn't take such a big battle at all!
It can be said that the Nine Mountains of Jilei are completely worthless for Yuanying Zhenren!
If the Luoyun Sect really wanted the fourth-order spiritual land, they should focus their war on attacking the hinterland of the Jade Ding Sword Sect.
Even if it was to send an allied army to consume the living force of the Sword Sect, it should be aimed at the hinterland of the Sword Sect, not an enclave thousands of miles away.
Now it's pointless to fight like this!
It does not play any role except for the elimination of Qingdan Valley, Ailao Mountain, Ice Castle, Yanmeng, and many vassals under the command of the Sword Sect who have reached the first-class power level.
Oh, the most consumed of this is countless casual cultivation.
And he is also an elite figure in casual cultivation.
Issue!
It's in this "except" word.
At this moment, it seems that perhaps the meaning of this long tug-of-war really falls on all the forces in the Jade Ding Domain except for the two great sects!
Qingdan Valley has the largest power and the largest number of monks, but its combat power is ordinary.
On the battlefield, in the face of the existence of the same level, except for Tao Wanna and other Tianjiao, the rest of the sect disciples met other sect disciples, and they were not opponents at all.
There were too few vassals in the ice castle, and the disciples had already begun to go into battle shirtless after the cannon fodder was almost exhausted.
The main force of Ailao Mountain, which was involved in the battlefield of the Blackwater Swamp, has suffered considerable losses now.
Even the Venerable Jin Dan has already fallen one.
This is the side of the Four Sects Alliance.
On the side of the Sword Sect Alliance, as far as Luo Chen knew, there were already three first-class vassals of the Sword Sect who had been beaten to pieces.
Among them, there are many Tiandao Gates that have become famous in recent years, and in addition to the head of the door, most of the foundation inside the door is damaged.
On the Yanmeng side, the end was also not very good.
The Blackwater Swamp had delayed them too much, and it had also lost a Jindan Venerable over there.
On the battlefield of Jilei Jiushan, heavy troops were dispatched, and the vassals under his command suffered too much damage, and now they have gradually reached the point of going into battle in person.
And what about the two Yuan Infant Sects?
The monks of the Luoyun Sect mostly use puppets against the enemy.
Even if you are defeated, it's a big deal to give up the puppet and save your life.
On the side of the Jade Ding Sword Sect, there are even fewer true disciples sent out.
He and Chu Kui hunted for two days, and only then did they get lucky enough to kill a true legend of the Sword Sect in the late stage of foundation building.
It can be seen from this that the two great sects are consciously retaining their own vitality.
"The current situation is like another war I have experienced, a war without gunpowder!"
Murmuring, Luo Chen remembered the time when he took Luo Tianhui and moved to Tianlan Immortal City.
In order to open up the pill market.
Luo Tianhui and the Zheng family of Rolling Dragon Back had a competition in the pill business.
In that business competition, the two sparks were full of sparks, and the best result was a win-win situation, and both of them made money!
So who loses?
Danyuanmen lost, Qinhuajiang Li family lost, and Danshan Hu family lost......
The eldest and second child fought, and the third child died.
The current situation is not a civil war between the two major sects, but the people in the Jade Ding Domain who have suffered the most losses?
Luo Chen vaguely remembered.
When he first arrived in Qingdan Valley, Tao Yisheng enthusiastically introduced to him how strong Qingdan Valley was and how huge the number of monks was.
There are tens of thousands of Qi refining cultivators, more than 1,000 foundation building monks, and 15 Jindan Venerable Masters!
This is only Qingdan Valley, but what about the Ice Castle? What about the Flame Alliance? What about Ailao Mountain and the Flame League?
In addition to the Hundred Flowers Palace, where there are few people and there are only three Jindan, the number of monks of the other four sects is too much.
In addition, the Yuding domain is close to millions of mountains and is rich in resources.
So much so that in the midst of scattered cultivation, the foundation building true cultivation emerged in an endless stream, and where the ten immortal cities were located, countless third-rate and second-rate forces gathered.
Over the years, even the first-class forces with the Jindan Venerable have been born.
With the power of one domain, can you support so many monks?
Yes!
But after offering so many monks, it was completely impossible to support the two Yuan Infant Shangzong!
Even if the original overlord Jade Ding Sword Sect wanted to expand, he would feel that the resources were completely insufficient.
But if through this war, after weakening, suppressing, and destroying most of the forces, won't the space for development be broadened?
After thinking about all this, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp.
"The huge Jade Ding Domain can't accommodate the seven major sects. However, it can accommodate two Yuan Infant Shangzong! β
"As long as most of the other five sects are declining, and the scattered cultivation realm exists in name only, the power of one domain will be enough to support the two major sects!"
"In the final analysis, whether it is the Sword Sect or the Luoyun Sect, it is not a great sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, and there is only one Yuanying in the sect. Their current needs are actually not as many as those of the upper sects of other great domains. β
After some analysis.
Luo Chen gradually clarified everything from his perspective.
However, there are still many doubts in this.
The simplest thing is that he doesn't believe that the other four sects are all stupid people.
As far as the high-ranking monks he had come into contact with since he crossed over, there were almost no stupid people.
The so-called vision advantage of the traverser who is ahead of the times is nothing at all under the long history of the mountains and seas that are often thousands of years old.
Within the four sects, there will inevitably be beings who are smarter than him!
The intelligence information held by the four sects must be far more comprehensive than that collected by Luo Tianhui!
Can't they see through that?
Or is it that you have seen it through, but for some reason, you are still forced to embark on this path?
Benefit? Grudge?
Or, just as Luo Tianhui was initially coerced by the Heartless Fairy, they were also under the coercion of Yuanying Zhenren and had to participate in the war?
This is one of the doubts.
There is another place that makes Luo Chen puzzling.
That is, even after weakening or even destroying the strength of each sect according to the assumptions of the two great sects, there is still only one fourth-order spiritual land in the Jade Ding Domain!
Jade Emperor Mountain!
He didn't believe that the real person of Yuding was willing to share that fourth-order spiritual land with Han Zhan Ancestor.
So when the two real people met, what conditions were reached to make ......
"That's not right!"
Luo Chen's heart jumped, and a mountain gate with continuous green mountains and abundant spiritual energy gradually appeared in his mind.
"There is not only a fourth-order spiritual land in the Jade Ding Domain, but also a potential fourth-order spiritual land!"
"Qingdan Valley!"
In his sight, he seemed to see the geographical pattern of the five peaks covering the valley and the natural condensation.
In his ears, Tao Yisheng's proud words of hope seemed to sound.
"Four hundred years ago, when the war was opened, my predecessors in Qingdan Valley laid down this place."
"Use the secret method to connect the trend of mountains and rivers, move mountains and reclaim the sea, and create a pattern of five peaks covering valleys."
"Now hundreds of years have passed, and Dangu has a second-order upper grade level. Given time, thousands of years later, this Dangu will definitely be able to achieve a fourth-order spiritual land! β
"At that time, if my Qingdan Valley is born as a Yuanying True Person, I don't need to find another fourth-order spiritual land to cultivate."
With the strength of the Jindan monks in Qingdan Valley, it will take thousands of years.
But what if it is the means of the original baby?
Millennium?
Luo Chen slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, forcing himself to wake up from that rambling thought.
These things were too far away, too high, to be within his reach right now.
What he can do is to seize this opportunity, earn meritorious points as much as possible, and take a solid step for him to achieve the Jindan period.
"No matter how the two great sects calculate, if I achieve the Jindan period. With my alchemy, I can be a guest of honor in one of the two sects! β
Murmuring, Luo Chen took out the medium-grade spirit stone again.
Close your eyes and absorb the pure aura within.
β¦β¦
This time the rest lasted for a day and a night.
When Luo Chen stepped out of the humble cave, what he saw when he looked up was a retreat rushing towards the front line of the war.
Among them, there are many people who look down at where they are, and their expressions are either envious, disdainful, or sarcastic......
"How far has the war progressed?"
Xu Huanzhen and Duan Feng had already gathered.
The former immediately replied, "The Sword Sect Alliance has gathered a large number of monks and stationed them in the Eighth Mountain, as if they are going to fight us to the death. β
The latter is full of confidence, "The new puppet on the side of the Falling Cloud Sect is extremely powerful. A few salvos can destroy a position. Now the three sects, under the leadership of the Luoyun Sect, continue to reinforce the eighth mountain. I feel that it will take it in no more than three days! β
"Three days? I can't see it. Chu Kui came from behind, and as he walked, he took the gourd and poured wine into his mouth.
The rich aura can be clearly perceived even if it is a few steps apart.
This is his preparation for this war, and it is also a kind of spiritual wine from Taibaifang City, which can quickly restore spiritual power.
Walking to his side, he said in high spirits: "If the Venerable Master Jin Dan personally makes a move, it will be easy to break the formation!" Next, it's time for me to wait for the foundation building monk to show his strength. β
As soon as he said this, Xu Duan and the others couldn't help nodding secretly.
They had all seen the Venerable Master Jindan make a move.
In the special geographical environment of the Nine Mountains of Thunder, the ordinary third-order defensive formation, even if it was fully powerful, could not block the full bombardment of several Jindan Venerables.
Just as the three of them were talking passionately.
Gradually, they found that Luo Chen had not been involved.
Chu Kui looked at Luo Chen puzzled, "What are you thinking?" β
Luo Chen's face was calm.
"Nothing, just thinking, it's time for us to go. How's the recovery? β
Chu Kui patted his chest, "It's not a big problem, what about you?" β
"Let's go!"
When the two of them left, Xu Huanzhen and Duan Feng wanted to talk and stopped.
At best, I can only silently watch the two leave.
In the interval between rushing to the battlefield of the Eighth Mountain, Chu Kui said regretfully: "It would be good if Min Longyu was here." β
Luo Chen snorted.
With the strength of the two of them, under the planning in advance, they can indeed avoid the top powerhouses and calmly hunt down ordinary foundation building true cultivators.
But if you encounter the existence of eight or nine layers of the foundation, or if the scale is slightly larger, you still have to retreat.
It's not invincible, but I just don't want to waste too much time.
But if there is a formation mage like Min Longyu, under the joint efforts of the three of them, no one dares to touch it.
"How much merit do we have now?" Chu Kui asked.
"Six thousand one." Luo Chen replied.
Hearing this number, Chu Kui was excited again.
It's not far from 10,000!
If you are lucky in the past few days, you can catch a few lone monks in the late stage of foundation building, and maybe you will be able to save up soon.
Compared with his optimism, Luo Chen is not so optimistic.
The two of them rely on each other, and although they cooperate more and more tacitly, it is a fact that each other's state is constantly declining.
On the first day, he still dared to break the camp and destroy the door, and intercepted and killed the nine foundations.
On the second day, he could only swim in the range of thousands of miles of yellow sand, hunting and killing relatively weak ordinary foundation building true cultivators.
Today, both sides are in less than eighty percent of their peak state.
You'll have to be careful when you pick your opponents later.
By the time they reach the front.
The battle between the two sides has completely begun.
Just like last time, it was still the Venerable Master Jin Dan who personally broke the formation.
It's just that the difference from before is that from the original seven golden pills, it has become ten golden pills!
On the eighth mountain, there were also six or seven Jindan Venerable Masters who resisted.
Among them, there is no lack of majestic sword energy, with the existence of one enemy and three!
It was the sword cultivation of the Jindan period, and it must have come from the Jade Ding Sword Sect!
It's just that the sword cultivation attack is strong and the defense is weak, and under many interceptions, the defense array of the eighth mountain was still broken.
Even on the side of the Luoyun Sect, there were people who deliberately led down a thunderstorm, completely destroying the foundation of the Great Array, and cutting off the idea of the Sword Sect's side to repair the defensive Great Array in the future.
When the formation is broken, the rest of the process is the same as before.
The puppet army of the Luoyun Sect was dispatched collectively.
Get ready for gunfire to wash the floor!
It is conceivable that after a few rounds of artillery fire, the defensive formation of the Eighth Mountain will inevitably be disrupted, and then it will be the same situation as before.
However!
When the puppet army of the Luoyun Sect appeared, on the eighth mountain, "stars" suddenly rose.
Not the stars, to be exact!
It's a sword pill!
Hundreds of sword pills converged with each other, and a plausible formation was actually outlined in the void.
The moment he saw that array, Elder Fox's face changed drastically on the side of the Falling Cloud Sect.
"Ten Thousand Swords Diagram!"
When he was frightened, he slapped out with a palm, trying to stop the sword formation from forming.
However, before the palm print arrived, a sword light rose into the sky.
Laugh at!
The huge palm print collapsed in an instant.
A clear and handsome young Taoist flew out from the eighth mountain.
"Linghu Daoyou, the battle between juniors, let them go. If you make a move, it won't be beautiful. β
Seeing this person, the fox's face sank.
"Kaiyang!"
Venerable Kaiyang smiled slightly, "Now, are you or I going to do it, or are you going to wait and see?" β
Linghu Ji was silent.
As the two spoke, the attack was already taking shape.
The puppet army of the Luoyun Sect released heavy artillery fire and indiscriminately bombarded the gathering place of the people in the Eighth Mountain.
At the same time, the Ten Thousand Sword Diagram constructed by the Sword Sect also erupted with fierce light, emitting thousands of sword qi and falling like rain.
The army of the Four Sects Alliance, which was supposed to take advantage of the situation to cover up, suffered heavy losses in an instant.
By this time, the two sides were already riding tigers.
But on the contrary, above the nine heavens, thunderclouds gathered, and the wind roared.
The Boundless Silver Serpent flickered.
Seeing this scene, Hu Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
The sky and thunder converge, and the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram will inevitably not last.
Sure enough, a moment later, the many sword pills flew back.
Under the bombardment of heavenly thunder, sword pills and other spiritual sacrifice things could not withstand any destruction.
In this way, the two sides are back on the same starting line.
"Kill!"
"Everyone, kill!"
With the order of the two great Jin Dan Venerables, the two monks collided together.
in the corner.
Luo Chen and Chu Kui raised their heads and looked at the sword formation that was slowly dispersing in awe.
Hundreds of people formed a formation, and the killing was unparalleled.
Even if the Venerable Master Jin Dan has to retreat.
Fortunately, the time and place are on their side.
Looking at the big battle that broke out in an instant, Chu Kui's heart trembled even more.
"Fortunately, I joined the Luo Tianhui and can move freely with you. Otherwise, in a battle of this scale, the so-called name of Tiankuizi is just a joke. β
Luo Chen's face stiffened and squeezed out a smile.
The background of the sect is beyond what they can imagine.
originally thought that the puppet army was invincible.
Unexpectedly, there is also the means of sword cultivation.
However, under the special geographical environment of the Nine Mountains of Thunder, the Ten Thousand Sword Diagram could not be maintained for too long, and now they returned to the battle scene they were most familiar with.
After the initial engagement, the Monk Torrent began to divide the warband.
In a short time, there were tens of thousands of scattered small warbands.
In this way, it has become their favorite situation of fishing in troubled waters.
"At the beginning of the battle, the aura fluctuations were too violent, and I couldn't condense the Water Mirror Technique."
Chu Kui was also very clear about the current environment, "So, according to the original plan?" β
"Well, go to the edge of the battlefield and wait for the opportunity!"
After reaching an agreement, the two of them gathered their bodies and quietly flew to the periphery of the Eighth Mountain.
According to their experience, warbands are constantly divided, and the scope of the battlefield is constantly expanding.
In the relatively peripheral places, under the rabbit, there will inevitably be prey that will take the initiative to enter the net.
β¦β¦
Three hours later.
"How many are these?" Luo Chen asked in a low voice.
Chu Kui's face was solemn and he raised three fingers.
"The third, in the early stage of foundation building, seems to be the inner disciple of the Yan League."
Luo Chen frowned, "Their huddle is getting more and more serious, and our opportunities seem to be getting fewer and fewer." β
Holding together, it's not just the Sword Sect's side.
On the side of the Four Sects Alliance, the same is true.
Chu Kui was helpless, "There is no way, in order to obtain merit points, many people take risks and do the same thing as us." Whether it's the Sword Sect or the Four Sects. As far as I know, the Netherworld and the Four Elders are doing this. β
The two evils of the Netherworld and the four elders of Liancang are all the same as Chu Kui, the leading figures in scattered cultivation.
Among the one-acre and three-point land in the fairy city where they have lived for a long time, they are very famous.
During the battle between the Dao species in Qingdan Valley, Luo Chen had seen a man and a woman in the Netherworld.
They were invited by Shangguan Yan, even if they played alone, they still scored third place for Shangguan Yan in the first round.
You must know that even He Yuanqing, who ranked second, sent Chu Kui and the masters of the clan, and he was only worthy of the second place.
As for the four elders of Liancang, they were big shots a hundred years ago.
The four brothers joined forces, and they were extremely strong a hundred years ago.
Now that the four of them have advanced to the late stage of foundation building, they have joined forces, and it is even rumored that they can compete with the Venerable Jindan.
These existences, like Luo Chen, do this kind of hunting, and their efficiency is definitely not low.
"And now are we?" Chu Kui asked hesitantly.
Without the guidance of Luo Chen's water mirror, their range of activities was confused.
"Let's change places!"
"Hmm."
The familiar scene reappeared, and the two men were slightly out of the range of the battlefield, looking for a new ambush location along the edge.
When passing by a canyon, Luo Chen was stunned.
Chu Kui looked down at the battle scene below, "Do you want to gnaw on this hard bone?" β
It is indeed a hard bone, and there are more than ten people involved in the foundation building true cultivation below.
According to their plan, a battle of this magnitude, it is better not to be involved.
However, this time, Luo Chen did not hesitate to sacrifice the magic weapon.
"Let's do it, that kid is down there, I can't see death without help."
"Huh?" Chu Kui was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on an embarrassed young man, and he suddenly realized.
"Okay, that kid's mother is a high-level member of Luo Tianhui, and I am also a member of Luo Tianhui now, so I will help him."
In a low whisper, the Monkey King fell into his hand.
Inside the canyon.
There's a big scuffle, there's going on.
Looking at the badge of his clothing, it is clear that he is a vassal of the Yan Alliance and a disciple of the inner sect of the Luoyun Sect.
"Killing this group of Falling Cloud Sect disciples is a great achievement!"
"Don't spare your hands!"
"Kill!"
In the crowd, an old man with gray hair, with fierce eyes, gave orders.
The spirit trick in his hand kept pinching, and under his control, a flying sword crisscrossed the crowd, and from time to time there was a wail.
He's in the late stages of foundation-building!
Although he has only been promoted for a short time, he is also a master among the vassal forces.
Coupled with the close relationship with the Yan Alliance, this is why these people will listen to his command.
And on the other side.
The group of young inner disciples of the Luoyun Sect looked at each other in horror.
The senior brother who led the team was killed by a sneak attack.
The puppet technique they are good at is not easy to use in a narrow environment like a canyon.
Restrained, he was pressed and beaten by a group of vassal forces that were not the elite of the sect.
Someone is under pressure and goes crazy!
"Let's all die together!"
The disciple who built the third layer of the foundation was desperate to urge the puppet.
A pillar of brilliant light erupted.
Seeing this, the enemy took refuge.
But under the scuffle, there are still people who can't dodge.
An enemy in the middle of foundation building was wiped to the edge, and most of his body was vaporized.
Seeing this scene, this disciple was overjoyed.
But behind him, there was a terrible voice.
"Senior Brother Li, why did you kill Senior Brother Wu."
Senior Brother Li was stunned for a moment, watching a puppet fall to the earth without being controlled, and his master was in the center of the pillar of light.
I accidentally killed my fellow disciples?
Just as he was stunned, a flying sword struck through his chest like lightning.
"There is no distinction between friend and foe, and the combat experience is weak. During the battle, he even dared to wander, such a heart was also worthy of building a foundation? β
Zheng Tianfang, who had gray hair, sneered.
Regardless of that person, his gaze fell on the three remaining disciples of the Luoyun Sect.
Facing this cruel gaze, Qin Yuanjiang among the three trembled.
The brothers are dead!
Among the three remaining people here, he was only a young man who had only built a foundation, and he actually became the senior brother at the head.
"Senior Brother Qin, what should I do?"
"Our puppets are all damaged and are now dying."
Qin Yuanjiang listened to the flustered words of the two junior disciples and forced himself to calm down.
"What are you afraid of, take out the magic weapon and face the enemy!"
"We disciples of the Luoyun Sect don't have a tradition of waiting for death."
"Usually the flying sword technique that the elders let you learn can also kill the enemy!"
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out a golden sword.
The blade of the sword was cold, as if it had never been opened.
Face this scene.
Zheng Tianfang laughed, "If you resist stubbornly, just wait for death!" β
The rest of the foundation building true cultivators, seeing that the overall situation has been decided, can't help laughing.
Just as they were about to end this battle in one fell swoop, Zheng Tianfang's face suddenly changed drastically.
He looked up.
A red-robed Taoist stood high in the sky, his hands clenched weakly, as if he was pulling something.
The next moment!
He let out a low roar.
"Landslide!"
Rumble! Rumble!
Two loud noises came, and the mountain walls on both sides of the canyon collapsed.
The huge mountain wall exploded, and for a while, the aura was agitated, and the rocks pierced through the air.
The manuscript was completely depleted, and the chapter was written and sent as it went, with many typos and omissions, which were corrected on the fly.
If you see an error, please forgive me
