After just a dozen breaths, there were only six monsters left in the field.
However, due to the close distance between the two sides, several monsters relied on their strong physiques to rush into the Qi Condensation stage cultivators. In close combat, the monsters were more powerful. In a surprise attack, these monsters actually killed three people in succession.
The remaining monsters were extremely poisonous, so they were naturally resistant to other poisons. Their eyes were red at this moment, and they rushed back and forth madly towards the crowd, attacking from time to time with their mouths or claws.
For a moment, the monks of the Wuliang Sect were forced to retreat step by step. Two monsters suddenly displayed their long-hidden magical powers and killed three people in a flash. However, these two monsters were also exhausted and their movements began to become slow.
Afterwards, he was chopped into a pile of meat paste by the angry monks of the Wuliang Sect.
Li Yanzheng and several other people were besieging a monster. This sudden change caught them off guard and they were unable to provide any help in time.
The sudden explosion and death of the two monsters aroused the ferocity of the remaining four monsters. They rushed forward quickly and risked their lives. The cultivators knew that this was the last desperate fight, and they were immediately on full alert against the four monsters.
At the same time, the second-order earth thorn lizard suddenly threw away the blue diamond crystal in his hand, and flashed in front of the Qi Condensation monks. His action was beyond everyone's expectations.
Even Gong Chenying, who had been on guard, was surprised. While they were stunned, the ground thorn lizard rushed to the front of the Qi Condensation Stage disciples without anyone being on guard.
He used his cultivation level comparable to that of a human cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage to launch a sneak attack. The difference in realm between the two sides was too great, and he killed one person with just a wave of his hand.
When he wanted to kill again, Gong Chenying had already attacked in anger. His long spear was like a rainbow, and a huge green light flew towards the first-level monster blocking the front. At the same time, a small golden axe flew out like lightning and attacked the neck of the second-level earth thorn lizard.
At the same time as they made their move, the huge black shadow above their heads had become as thick as ink, and seemed about to fall at any time.
The first-level monsters standing in front of Gong Chenying were simply unable to withstand her angry attack, and two of them were cut into four pieces on the spot.
The second-level monster was about to continue killing when he felt a fear of impending death. He hurriedly swung out his two swords and crossed them to block backwards.
“Ding ding!”
With two heavy blows, Banmen's broadsword was actually pierced directly by the golden axe. He dodged in a hurry and just managed to avoid it.
But before he could stand firm, a figure flashed in front of him, and Gong Chenying had already appeared in front of him, and a green light flashed and slashed towards his neck.
"ah!"
The continuous attacks made the ground lizard unexpected that humans were so ferocious that they actually did not defend against the huge black shadow in the sky. In his opinion, humans were the most life-threatening, so he dared to take a gamble with his life.
Unexpectedly, the opponent also gave up the blue diamond crystal and was just as ferocious.
The ground lizard hurriedly used the broken double swords in his hands to block, but he only felt a pain in his abdomen and his consciousness was a little scattered, but he still blocked Gong Chenying's spear. Gong Chenying's body was like thunder, and he quickly turned sideways and hit him on the head with his elbow.
Gong Chenying's face was extremely pale, and the hand holding the golden axe was trembling slightly. It was obvious that she was having a hard time driving the golden axe.
This small golden axe is indeed powerful, but Gong Chenying will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary. She will be weak soon, and if she cannot kill the opponent, she will be in despair.
She took back the golden axe, looked at the last two monsters that had been chopped into mud, and then looked at the corpses on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart...
At this moment, outside the wheel of life and death!
Most of the monks from various sects on the tops of the mountains surrounding the sphere were meditating with their eyes closed, while some were staring intently at the spherical mountain in the center.
The twenty passages there have disappeared, but a dozen light bands can be vaguely seen emerging, appearing and disappearing in the mountain jungle.
"Another one disappeared!"
Zhao Min whispered on the peak of the Wuliang Sect.
"We can't know which monks or monsters the light bands correspond to, so we can only see how many are left."
A charming voice was heard, Li Changting shook her hair and said helplessly.
She looked at Zhao Min, and then at Li Wuyi on the other side. These two had been standing in the middle ever since Li Yan and the others entered the Wheel of Life and Death. They had been looking at these light bands for such a long time without feeling bored.
They have no idea who are the people on these visible or invisible light bands, or what they are going through.
"It seems that the situation of Sixth Junior Sister and Little Junior Brother is not very good."
Li Wuyi's eyes swept across the direction of Shibuyuan, Taixuan Sect, and Pure Land Sect one by one, and his heart became heavier and heavier. At the beginning, these sects, like them, showed uneasiness in their eyes, but after seven or eight of the light bands disappeared, they became more and more excited.
“As they disappeared along several roads, they became more and more confident!”
Zhao Min also looked at those sects, her delicate black eyebrows knitted tightly. She didn't even notice that sweat had seeped out of her pair of white jade hands in her sleeves...
"Eight have disappeared now. Excluding the chance of encountering demon beasts and the Wuling Sect in the first wave, at least half of them should have reunited."
At the top of the mountain where the Ten-Step Courtyard stood, a graceful and beautiful woman broke the silence and whispered to the Sword King and a group of Golden Elixir cultivators, but her words were very ambiguous.
“Hehehe… That’s how it should be!”
Xia Hua Sword King was very frugal with words. After hearing this, he only spoke lightly, and then looked back at the spherical mountain in the center, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"Among the three sects, the Shibuyuan Sect has the strongest attack, and the Pure Land Sect has the strongest defense. If our sect joins forces with them, we will inevitably be the ones to suffer in the end."
The Taixuan Sect stood on the top of the mountain, and Hang Wu was gazing into the distance. The white clouds rolling like a fairyland seemed to be talking to himself.
"It's worth it to cut off the immortal roots of the Wuliang Sect for decades. They have stretched their hands too far in recent years, and many marginal areas have been swallowed up by them."
Behind him, a sturdy old man who was also looking at the endless sea of clouds said with some hatred. He was also a Jindan. "You see, the monks of the Pure Land Sect over there don't care. What they care about is that after this is over, if the Wuliang Sect makes trouble, how can they get more benefits from the Shibuyuan and our sect.
Otherwise, maybe these bald donkeys will tell the secrets and then turn around with the Wuliang Sect to deal with us. They are the most ruthless Buddhas. "
Hang Wu had a sarcastic look on his face, and it was unclear whether he was mocking himself or the Pure Land Sect's plan.
"This secret was originally discovered by our sect's predecessors thousands of years ago when they were training in the Wheel of Life and Death. If it weren't for the purpose of increasing our chances of targeting the Wuliang Sect, we would have only teamed up with the Shibuyuan in private."
At this time, a Taoist nun behind Hang Wu said dissatisfiedly, and her originally pretty face actually had a bit of ferocity.
"Hangzhi, I know that your apprentice was killed by Zen Master Zhiwei of the Pure Land Sect during the picking trial fifteen years ago, but we cannot join forces with the monsters. As for your apprentice, I hope you can take revenge in the picking trial in the future!"
Hang Wu didn't look back, but his tone became a little harsher.
Compared to personal grudges, the sect's affairs are more important. He doesn't want a Jindan to ruin the important matter decided by the higher-ups because of his own little thoughts. Then he won't be able to save this junior sister.
… …
Inside a huge yellow sphere on the Wheel of Life and Death, Wang Lang looked at the nine stars in front of him and couldn't help but frown.
"I didn't expect to meet you. Who will lead the team in first?"
Wang Lang said indifferently, then glanced at the cultivators behind Quan Jiuxing. There were still twenty-five of them. It seemed that apart from the deaths during the breakthrough, they did not encounter the other two sects in the first wave.
Quan Jiuxing was standing a few feet away with two crossed swords on his back. His smart eyes flashed several times and he also glanced at the monks from the Ten-Step Courtyard behind Wang Lang, about thirty-one of them. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The sword cultivator was indeed powerful. Although he had formed a Seven-Star Locking Formation, he still lost nine people and injured three after passing the level and finally encountering a team of monsters.
He understood what Wang Lang meant. After the next reunion, the two of them would lead the team through the next level. However, at the intersection of the ten miles, since only one Foundation Establishment cultivator could enter the ball, there could be up to seventy-two Qi Condensation cultivators on one road.
In this way, only one of them can lead the team into the sphere. By then, if the monks from their three sects are still in the sphere, they can rely on their secret methods to cheat the rules here, and will not take action, and will separate again.
Because Qi Condensation Stage cultivators are also subject to restrictions, they cannot join the third team.
Although the total number of Qi Condensation cultivators in their two teams is less than seventy-two, the cultivators in the other team would definitely not want to add a few more people over, as that would reduce their own strength.
If the group encountered in the ball is the Wuliang Sect or a team of monsters, then the Qi Condensation cultivator who enters the ball will be commanded by Wang Lang or Quan Jiuxing. The other one of them can only enter after one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators inside has died.
Moreover, the person outside is in great risk, because the person inside the ball has to eliminate the other enemy inside the ball before the black shadow arrives. Otherwise, even if he has a secret method to protect his body, it is said that he can only hold out for five breaths under the black shadow. But no one wants to try it.
The Qi Condensation Stage cultivators who enter the sphere may also be used as cannon fodder by the other side's Foundation Building Stage. This is something that needs to be taken into consideration.
"What do you think, brother?"
Quan Jiuxing looked into Wang Lang's eyes and asked.
"Whoever is stronger goes in!"
Wang Lang said bluntly.
"Oh, that means we are going to have a fight here."
Quan Jiuxing's face also turned cold. To decide the winner here would be equivalent to giving up the time that could be used to suppress the black shadow. This was putting the cart before the horse.
"That's not necessary. We will go out now. We will take the same road and each guard one side. Let's see who reaches ten miles first. If more than 10% of the attacks from the rear are missed and hit the other side, they will lose!"
Wang Lang had obviously thought about it a long time ago. He raised his head to look at the top of the sphere, where a black shadow had already begun to cover it.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, brother. Then please!"
After saying that, the two of them waved the blue diamond crystals they had been holding in their hands and concentrated on sensing them, as if they were sensing some kind of aura in the blue diamond crystals.
Later, they opened their eyes almost at the same time, tossed the blue crystal in their hands lightly, letting it float in front of them, and then each carefully took out a green gourd from their arms, supported the bottom with one hand, and opened the stopper on the gourd's mouth with the other hand.
The hand holding the bottom of the gourd exhaled magical power, and two or three thin lines of light of different colors came out from the mouths of the two gourds, and the next moment they wrapped around the blue diamond crystal in the air.
The light that spurted out of Wang Lang's gourd was blue and black, while the gourd in Quan Jiuxing's hand was yellow, black and white. These thin lines of light were long and short, and when they came into contact with the blue diamond crystal, they disappeared in a flash.
At this time, five-colored light appeared on the surface of the blue diamond crystal, flowing throughout the body, and then returned to normal.
After seeing the blue diamond crystal like this, the two of them hurriedly covered the stopper and carefully put away the green gourd again. However, when Quan Jiuxing saw that Wang Lang only released two thin threads of light, a hint of unexpected coldness flashed in his eyes.
Just as the two of them put away the gourd, the two blue diamond crystals floating in the air suddenly swayed like pointers.
One of the corners actually pointed in one direction of the sphere wall at the same time, and instantly shot out two blue rays of light and hit the sphere wall. There was no sound at all after the blue light hit the sphere wall.
Then a strange phenomenon occurred, and ripples appeared on the wall of the sphere.
"Walk!"
Seeing this, Wang Lang and Quan Jiuxing grabbed the blue diamond crystal in the air, shouted to the people behind them, and flashed towards the spherical wall first.
