Chapter 373: Counterattack
Lord Dai Jian, who had given Wang Xian great help before, was also among the Yuan Infant Monks. Today, he is a monk in the early stages of the Yuan Infant.
Wang Xian had met him before the fight, and both of them had many old masters who had fallen in this catastrophe, and they had some sighs and sighs.
Dai Jian has been an official for many years, and this time he escorted dozens of people from the royal family to evacuate the underground palace in Guanliaozhou, and he was promoted again, but the country was broken, and the holy car was also displaced.
He cares about the common people and is determined to protect the country, which makes Wang Xian also admire.
After Yuan Liming found out that Renxiu had withdrawn the defensive forces at the gate of the large array, he judged that Renxiu was already at the end of the crossbow and was retreating to the underground secret room, so he immediately made a decision and ordered all the Yuanying monks to no longer take turns to attack the formation, but to take the whole army on it
I saw that more than a hundred Yuan Infant Demon Cultivators gathered in front of the formation gate, attacking one point, the formation gate had no defensive monks inside to contain the enemy, and there were five times stronger enemies outside to attack, they couldn't support it for long, and after half an hour, it was broken.
After the formation gate was breached, all the demon cultivators rushed in and quickly occupied all parts of the underground palace. Except for the secret room deep underground, the demon cultivator quickly searched all the other places in the dungeon, and it can be said that not a single fly was spared.
Yuan Liming received a report on the progress of the battle, and after learning the news that the left ring and right ring underground palaces had basically fallen into the hands of the demon cultivation army, he was very relieved. Seeing that the enemy was in front of him, he was quite complacent.
He immediately gave the order, taking advantage of the victory, to pursue and attack the tunnel secret room with the whole army. When arranging troops. He still sent monks to attack the formation in front of the tunnel secret room in turn.
But this is the offensive position. It's a little different from before. The tunnel is only one zhang square. It has to be climbed down the stairs and is very steep. Because of the narrowness of the tunnels, the traps and formations in the tunnels caused some casualties to the forward monks.
For the Yuanying Cultivators, the injuries didn't matter, they could be healed sooner or later, but the three Yuanying Demon Cultivators were killed in the tunnel by the top-level formations and mechanisms, which still dealt a certain blow to the morale of the Demon Cultivators' attacking team.
Fortunately, at this time. The demon cultivator had already attacked the front door of the secret room, and the tunnel formations and mechanisms had all been destroyed, Yuan Liming was used to killing, and felt that this kind of loss was still within the controllable range, so he didn't care too much.
Now, the Yuanying monks sent by Yuan Liming are divided into twenty teams, each team of five people, and they take turns to attack the secret room formation door for an hour, and the secret room cave door is the size of one zhang. Blocked by the top-level formation, at most five people can go up at a time. And it's also slightly crowded.
Fortunately, these military demon cultivators are well-trained, have a lot of experience in fighting in various terrains, and are also more familiar with the technique of combined attacks, so they are not confused because of the large number of people.
In the dungeon, all the demon cultivators who attacked the formation were cultivated in the Yuan Infant Period. The other 700 Jindan monks who did not participate in the attack occupied all parts of the underground palace.
Generalissimo Yuan Liming and a few infant generals and military advisers who did not participate in the offensive have entered the underground palace and discussed in the palace master's meeting room of the Guanghan Palace, constantly receiving the military information of the attack and issuing corresponding military orders.
Outside the underground palace, there are dozens of demon birds in the military intelligence room, guarding at a high altitude within a radius of hundreds of miles, and dozens of demon cultivators in the Jindan period, patrolling the ground outside the underground palace.
All the Yuan Infant Demon Cultivators are very at ease with the places inside and outside the underground palace, except for the secret room. Because these places have been carpet-searched many times.
The eyes of the great array are coiled in the secret room deep underground, and the demon cultivators have not been able to uproot the great array of the underground palace. However, the breached gate of the dungeon has fallen into the hands of the demon cultivator, and the demon cultivator has been able to enter and exit freely through the formation gate.
Such a top-level array, to a demon cultivator, is equivalent to a high wall without a door to mortals, it is useless.
Except for the array wall, there were no other formations, traps, or hidden monks in other places, which was the unanimous judgment of the demon cultivators.
Even so, for the sake of prudence, the generalissimo still left enough troops in the palace master's hall, and there were six military advisors and generals, all of whom were cultivated at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and there were nearly 100 monks at the end of the Jindan period guarding outside the hall.
As long as there is any movement, the generalissimo can send a voice to urgently summon the many infancy demon cultivators who are attacking the secret room under the tunnel to come back to help.
For the generalissimo, since most of the underground palace has been occupied, and the enemy is broken in front of him, there is naturally no other place where he sits, which can be compared to the palace master's mansion of the enemy's suzerain, which can boost morale and show merit.
The day passed quickly, and the offensive and defensive forces of the two sides were still in full swing, and the battle situation was in a state of stalemate.
The people in the secret room, because of the disadvantage in numbers, and the huge consumption of mana in the first wave of defense, have not had a good rest. Although the secret room defense is a group of five, divided into six groups to attack for one hour, and then rest for five hours, it can still only maintain more than 30% of the mana when it was just thrown away, and cannot effectively recover more mana.
And the demon cultivators just relied on the advantage of the large number of people, and they were always in a state of attacking with all their might, and each batch of five demon cultivators who attacked the formation could attack with ten out of ten mana.
The generalissimo and the generals, after meditating and pranayama all night, were promoted to the palace master's mansion to discuss matters.
The entrance of the tunnel connecting the underground secret room is a palace room outside the palace master's mansion, which is now guarded by two Yuan Infant Demon Cultivators, and outside the main entrance of the palace master's hall, there are two Yuan Infant cronies guarding it. There are a total of six generalissimos himself, military advisors and generals in the palace master's hall, all of whom were cultivated at the end of the Yuan Infant period.
At three o'clock, the marshal and the generals in the palace master's hall were discussing the matter, eating spiritual food and drinking spiritual wine, the battle was going well, and everyone was very relaxed, not to laugh a few words and belittle the incompetence of human cultivation.
Just when everyone was staggering, suddenly, a piercing sword sound came, resounding throughout the underground palace, this is the sound of two top-level mystic swords rubbing against each other, especially far away.
It was too late, but it was too fast, and in the underground palace where no one was supposed to cultivate, several monks suddenly flashed in different places and attacked at the same time.
The gate of the large array of the underground palace is guarded by a group of ten Jindan late stage monks led by a monk at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
At this time, two Yuan Infant early stage cultivators rushed out of the ground from the underground inside the array gate, and shot a total of twelve top-level best attack talismans, each of them waved six, two of which attacked the Yuan Infant Late Stage Monk who was guarding the door, and the other ten were divided into the Jindan Late Stage Monk who was guarding the door.
More than a dozen people beside the gate were caught off guard and were snatched by two people to the middle of the door.
The two people repaired back to back, firmly holding the formation gate, and one of them in the face increased the attack again, and waved out six top-level talismans, a total of twelve top-level attack talismans, attacking the eleven demon cultivators who were blocked in the array gate.
The one facing outwards was on full alert, and waved out a top-level defensive talisman, a volcano talisman, to block the outward-facing side of the formation gate to prevent the dozens of Jindan period monks patrolling outside the gate from breaking in.
In the main hall of the underground palace, the palace master of the Guanghan Palace and another monk at the end of the Yuan Dynasty rushed out of the ground from the ground of the front door and the back door of the hall respectively, and shot a defensive superb immortal talisman, the Golden Turtle Talisman, and sealed the front and rear doors in an instant.
The secret passage of the underground palace, connecting the entrance of the secret room deep underground, Wang first came out of the ground, and the shot was the top-level mystic weapon Huatian Eight Sword Array, which involved the two demon cultivators who guarded the entrance of the tunnel.
Since Wang Xian advanced to the tenth layer of Huatian, he has been able to control the five-handled top-level mystical weapon, which is the limit of the top-level mystical weapon of the monk envoy at the end of the Yuan Infancy.
And although the Huatian Eight Sword Formation required eight top-level Xuanwu swords, it could perform the Water and Ice Combined Sword and Wind Fire and Thunder Combined Sword Technique at the tenth layer of Huatian Gong. That is, the water sword drives the ice sword, and the fire sword drives the wind sword and the thunder sword, so that in the eight swords array, it is achieved to use the sword to control the sword, the sword spirit is connected, the eight swords are complete, and the combination is reciprocating.
The Huatian Eight Sword Formation was already equivalent to the attack power of twelve top-level mystical weapons, which was higher than the combined attack power of the five top-rank mystical weapons of the two late Yuan Infant Stage cultivators.
These two demon cultivators attacked by a strong enemy at a moment's notice, and while rushing to meet the enemy, they sent a message to the hundred infantile demon cultivators who were attacking the secret room in the tunnel, calling for help, trying to transfer troops to help.
Wang Xian had already been prepared, and a superb immortal talisman golden turtle talisman was swung out, blocking the entrance of the tunnel one zhang square, so that they could not be saved inside and outside. (To be continued......)
