Chapter 479: Attacking Baiyun City
"Senior National Teacher, when you were assigning tasks before, didn't you say that there were tenth-level demon beasts that would come to attack the city?" Zhang Yifan said with a somewhat unhappy expression.
"This matter is quite secret, and the old man is not good at saying it, so he discussed it with Zhang Daoyou alone, otherwise this secret method that is so cherished in "Extreme Cold Six Refining", how can the old man talk to you casually. The national teacher of the Northern Han Country said unceremoniously.
Zhang Yifan was speechless for a while, knowing that what the national teacher of the Northern Cold Country said was also true, and this "Six Refinements of the Extreme Cold" was indeed very precious. He has now cultivated the Acquired Cold Spirit Body, but it is only a secret method equivalent to the Jindan period, and it is difficult to go further.
He watched the first three layers of "Extreme Cold Six Refinings", and he also wanted to get this secret method, which was of great help to him in cultivating and mastering the magic power of ice spells, or increasing his body's ability to resist ice.
Of course, the most important thing is that the previous Northern Han National Master said that cultivating this secret method can increase the chance of condensing the Yuan Infant by himself, and at the same time reduce the chance of the attack of the body demon.
He now has nine golden pills in his body, and the difficulty of advancing to the Yuan Infant is not known to be much higher than that of other Jindan stage cultivators, and it is certainly better to have one more means.
Maybe it was because he saw Zhang Yifan muttering and hesitating, the national teacher of the Northern Han Kingdom looked moved, and began to persuade again: "Zhang Xiaoyou, it was the old man who lost his words before. You see, in order to show his sincerity, the old man has already given you half a volume of "Extreme Cold Six Refinings", and it is not for you to directly deal with the tenth-level Ice Flame Shrimp, you only need to rely on the formation to hold on for ten days. As the first Jindan period monk of the Chu State, you should be able to do this. ”
"The seniors of the national teacher really look down on the high, the difference between Yuanying and Jindan is like a moat, not to mention that the first Jindan period monk of the Chu State is just a false name, the seniors won't really believe it, right?" Zhang Yifan shook his head and said.
"Zhang Xiaoyou, what are the conditions, let's just say it, you and I have already cooperated once before, and the old man likes to go straight. The national teacher of the Northern Han Kingdom said directly with some impatience.
"Since the seniors said so, then the juniors will get straight to the point. I don't know what is the purpose of the seniors needing the juniors to drag that ice flame shrimp? Don't say some far-fetched reasons, that's not believable. ”
Seeing this, the national teacher of the Northern Han Kingdom pondered for a moment.
It seems that Zhang Xiaoyou has seen something. Yes, the old man asked for that Ice Flame Shrimp in order to break through the bottleneck of the third refining of the current "Extreme Cold Six Refinings", and to use this to cultivate an Ice Flame Divine Power to deal with the East China Sea Demon Clan. ”
"The Ice Flame Shrimp Demon Beast is not weak, and it is a mutated bloodline, and it has two kinds of magical powers, one of which is the Ice Escape Divine Power, the old man has organized two hunts, but they have returned in vain, and he has also lost some manpower. ”
"This third hunt needs to fall on Zhang Xiaoyou. That Ice Flame Shrimp belongs to the Shrimp Clan of the East Sea Demon Clan, and it has always been a wandering support with its own magical powers, so as long as Zhang Xiaoyou resists for ten days, I will set up a large array to trap it in it. "The national teacher of the Northern Han Kingdom will plan and explain his own plan to show his sincerity.
"I see. How could the seniors be sure that the Ice Flame Shrimp would definitely attack Baiyun City, you must know that there are two other teams that will attack the other two small cities respectively. Zhang Yifan's tone gradually softened, and he asked again.
"Hehe, isn't Zhang Xiaoyou curious about how the old man recognized you? You must know that you were disguised at that time, and the aura on your body was not the same as now. The national teacher of the Northern Han Kingdom did not answer, and asked with a smile.
"I also ask my seniors to teach me. Zhang Yifan was also a little puzzled before, but he kept pressing and didn't ask.
The first is that now his strength has risen greatly, and he is no longer afraid of revealing his identity, and the second is that he is now a monk who supports the Northern Han Kingdom on behalf of the Chu State, and he does not believe that the national teacher of the Northern Han Country will act unwisely.
"Zhang Xiaoyou's qualifications in refining the body and the comprehension of the familiar cold ice are amazing, and he has practiced all the "Xuanhan Six Refinings" and cultivated it into the body of the acquired cold spirit. You must know that the old man spent an astonishing amount of resources and time practicing this secret technique at that time. ”
"This kind of cold body, the old man can just sense one or two. This secret technique was obtained by the old man by accident, and only a few people such as his disciples have practiced, so it is not difficult to guess Zhang Xiaoyou's identity. ”
"I see. Does this acquired cold body have anything to do with the question I asked earlier?" asked Zhang Yifan.
"Absolutely. The Ice Flame Shrimp was a natural ice-type demon beast, and the monks of the cold body were naturally attracted to it, and they wanted to swallow it quickly. This is also the main reason why the old man wants to find you, after all, the old man's cultivation is here, and several disciples who have achieved cultivation under his door have all met with him, and with the prudence and caution of the other party, it is difficult to let him be fooled. ”
"Since that's the case, I can agree to the request of my seniors. However, the premise is that what the predecessors said is the truth, if there is any untruth, the transaction will be invalidated, and the seniors also need to hand over the second half of the "Extreme Cold Six Refinings" to the next. Zhang Yifan finally agreed.
"Okay! What the old man said was not half a lie, and Zhang Xiaoyou only needed to entangle the ice flame shrimp for ten days. But what if Zhang Xiaoyou doesn't complete the task?"
"I really can't guarantee that it will be done. "Zhang Yifan will not be arrogant enough to regard a tenth-level demon beast as if it were unmistakable, and anything can happen on the battlefield, he is indeed not sure that he will be able to delay that ice flame shrimp for ten days.
"Then if you can't finish it, Zhang Xiaoyou will help the old man do one thing at that time, and the second half of "Six Refining of Extreme Cold" will still be given to you. The National Teacher of the Northern Han Country said.
Zhang Yifan was a little surprised, but he was also happy to do so, and nodded in agreement, but the premise was not to do anything that hurt nature and reason and violated morality.
The National Teacher of the Northern Han Kingdom readily agreed.
Then the two chatted for a while, as a monk in the late Yuan Infant period, the national teacher of the Northern Han Kingdom was far from being comparable to Zhang Yifan in terms of knowledge and cultivation.
Naturally, Zhang Yifan benefited a lot, and he also got some experience on how to cultivate the "Extreme Cold Six Refinings" from the national teacher of the Northern Cold Country.
In the end, the national teacher of the Northern Han Kingdom proposed to send his three doppelgangers in the late stage of foundation building to follow Zhang Yifan to go with him, and when the time came, Zhang Yifan naturally agreed.
Soon, the army of monks began to move.
This time, the main goal of the monks of the Northern Han Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom was to clean up all the demon beasts around Liaocheng, the capital of Liaozhou, while the group of monks led by Zhang Yifan attacked Baiyun City, a small city almost five hundred miles away from Liaocheng.
Zhang Yifan, together with more than a dozen Jindan monks accompanying him, carefully studied the map of Baiyun City.
Baiyun City is located in the north of Liaocheng, is the gateway of Liaocheng, although the area is not large, but it was also a city of cultivating immortals, and the strategic location is very important.
According to the information provided by the Northern Han Kingdom, Baiyun City has completely fallen, and only a few monks on the periphery resist, and an army of about two hundred monks from the Northern Cold Kingdom is besieged.
This time, Zhang Yifan's task was to occupy Baiyun City and establish a stronghold, and the second was to rescue the monk army.
"Brother Zhang, do you think this attack on Baiyun City will be carried out?" asked the monk in the late stage of the Jindan of the True Pole Gate, with some hint of teaching in his words, obviously still a little dissatisfied with Zhang Yifan being in charge of this group of monks.
"The three teams attacked directly and took down Baiyun City in one go. Luo Daoyou, your team of monks is on guard on the periphery to prevent those demon beasts from escaping. Zhang Yifan said very confidently.
"This is too hasty, the East China Sea Demon Beast is so fierce, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for us to be the front. Zou Mei, a monk in the late stage of the Jindan of the True Pole Gate, said.
"Luo Daoyou, I have already confirmed this matter. If you have any objections, let's talk about them then. If something goes wrong, I'll take care of it. Zhang Yifan didn't want to be verbose with this Rayong, so he said directly.
"Bi Daoyou, what do you say?" Luo Yong directly skipped Han Pin, who belonged to the same faction as Zhang Yifan, and asked Bi Xuanyuan directly.
"I only look forward to Brother Zhang, and I have no objections. Bi Xuanyuan said directly.
"Well, well, there's nothing more to say below. Just do what Zhang Daoyou said. Seeing this, Rayong had no choice but to agree.
The monks marched quickly all the way to Baiyun City, and they were easily destroyed by some of the demon beasts that did not have long eyes on the road.
This group of monks are all the elite of the monks, and they naturally have a lot of combat experience, but they are relatively unfamiliar with group combat. Zhang Yifan deliberately did not let the Jindan period monks make a move, so that those foundation building period monks cooperated with the attack, but they were also found.
Zhang Yifan saved many monks who were forced to hide by demon beasts along the way. Some monks saw the strength of the monk army led by Zhang Yifan, and wanted to join the monk team to kill the demon beasts.
In order to avoid affecting the formation of the monks' team, Zhang Yifan reorganized the scattered monks into a team, sent Ji Yan to manage them, and arranged them according to the situation when the time came.
The news of the demon beast investigation was very well-informed, and he soon discovered Zhang Yifan's monk army, so before he arrived in Baiyun City, Zhang Yifan encountered several waves of demon beasts with varying numbers.
In order to exercise the combat experience of his team of monks, in the first few waves of attacks by demon beasts that were not very numerous, Zhang Yifan secretly instructed several powerful monks such as Bi Xuanyuan and Han Pin not to do their best, and let those monks deal with it.
Of course, Zhang Yifan's divine sense is very powerful, he can envelop the entire battlefield, and he can also reach out to rescue in time.
In the end, neither of the two waves of demon beast attacks caused serious damage to this group of monks, only a dozen monks suffered some injuries, and none of them fell.
This made everyone admire Zhang Yifan more and more.
But soon everyone encountered a group of demon beasts with a number of thousands, among which there were about four or five hundred demon beasts above level four, six seventh-level demon beasts, and two ninth-level demon beasts, and their strength was very strong.
The group of demon beasts of this strength is not much less than the demon beasts in Baiyun City.
This time, Zhang Yifan knew that he couldn't be as calm as before, and began to organize the monks to lay out defensive formations and formations first, and then began to attack with the demon beast herd.
This time, Zhang Yifan also made a move.
Zhang Yifan directly and quickly entered the group of demon beasts, and countless yang thunder snakes were stimulated from Zhang Yifan's hands and attacked the surrounding demon beasts.
The thunder attribute spell is already restrained by demon beasts, Zhang Yifan's Yang Thunder Snake is very powerful, and some low-level demon beasts will turn into ashes when they touch it.
At the same time, Bi Xuanyuan also cooperated with the summoning of fire and thunder spells in the distance to bombard, and also killed a large number of demon beasts.
The two Lei Xiu displayed terrifying power, attracting the hatred of most of the demon beasts.
The other Jindan period monks also used their own means to attack, and the strength they showed was not weak.
Soon, the demon beast group was wiped out at an alarming speed, and those powerful demon beasts above level 7 wanted to attack and kill the disciples of the foundation building period, but they were all stopped by the Jindan stage monks in advance.
When some Jindan stage monks were a little weak in strength and couldn't deal with the demon beasts in front of them, they found that there was a white tiger spirit beast with a powerful breath nearby. Soon, the spirit beast killed those powerful demon beasts, very quickly.
Only then did everyone realize that Zhang Yifan had such a powerful spirit beast, and they were very envious in their hearts, and at the same time, they also understood why Zhang Yifan could be called the first Jindan monk in Chu State.
The white tiger spirit beast is none other than Xiaobai, which Zhang Yifan deliberately released for battle to accumulate heritage.
Xiaobai was on the verge of dying several times before, and the harvest was not small, plus Zhang Yifan had been feeding it the Demon Yuan Pill, so that the Demon Yuan in its body grew relatively fast, and at present, Xiaobai was not far from breaking through the bottleneck.
This battle ended relatively quickly, these demon beast groups are actually not very intelligent, so they are easy to be targeted by monks, plus Zhang Yifan's team of monks is too strong, so they didn't make any waves.
In the end, seven of the monks led by Zhang Yifan fell and more than 30 were injured. Most of the fallen and injured monks were the scattered monks that Zhang Yifan had gathered earlier. Only one of the monks who originally belonged to Zhang Yifan's array fell.
The fallen foundation building period monk was also unlucky, he was too close to the ninth-level demon beast when he transferred and retreated, and under the outburst of the demon beast that was untouchable, he fell directly, and Zhang Yifan was a step too late to save it.
This also made the monks realize the cruelty of fighting with the demon beasts, and the entire array of monks began to exude a unique aura of killing in the monks' army.
Fighting and killing all the way, this group of monks led by Zhang Yifan has grown a lot in just five days, and the strength of the entire team has increased a lot, which makes Zhang Yifan very confident that he can quickly take Baiyun City and kill all those demon beasts.
Because of Zhang Yifan's amazing performance, all the monks respected him like a god, which greatly improved the execution of this team.
Soon, Zhang Yifan's group of monks came to a hill near Baiyun City that was easy to defend.
Zhang Yifan looked at the White Cloud City from afar, and found that the blood inside was soaring, and the demon clouds were gathered, and it seemed that it had become a place of great evil.
Zhang Yifan's heart ached, knowing that the monks or mortals in the city had probably been slaughtered to cause such a celestial phenomenon.
Zhang Yifan was not blinded by hatred, and immediately began to attack the demon beasts in the city, but planned to set up a formation first and find out the information before acting.
After a day of inquiry, Zhang Yifan quickly figured out the situation.
The demon beasts naturally didn't know how to defend the formation, and almost all the prohibitions in Baiyun City had already expired and been destroyed.
There was a monk's stronghold not far from Baiyun City, which was surrounded by demon beasts, and the monks in the stronghold relied on the stronghold's large array to resist stubbornly and did not give up.
Since Zhang Yifan discovered this group of monks, he naturally rescued the monks first, and then waited for others to rescue them.
