"This... What happened?"
Gong Yuantai, who was also outside the close formation, couldn't help but let out a low cry. Even though he had participated in the battle with the demons for half a month, he was still completely confused by the current situation.
In all the battles, big and small, that Gong Yuantai had experienced, the attacks of the demon cultivators had always been as fierce as fire and as powerful as thunder. Even if they could not take the city after a long siege, every battle was a brutal one. How come today they had such a sudden success but ended so ruthlessly
The retreating team of demon cultivators were actually unaware of this. At this moment, the short and strong demon cultivator was whispering with another demon cultivator during the flight.
"The attack has just begun, why did you order us to retreat? And only to retreat within 300 miles and wait for orders? What's the meaning?"
The other demon cultivator kept frowning and thinking. After flying back for a while, he still shook his head.
"I have no idea either. Your Excellency's order this time is too strange."
Just like the two demons, the other demon leaders in the retreating army were also confused, not to mention those South China Sea monks.
However, some demon soldiers noticed a strange phenomenon. Except for "Tonggui Ridge", other demon cultivation teams that attacked from the sides and rear were still attacking fiercely.
Three hundred miles is not a big distance for a group of foundation-building cultivators. In less than twenty breaths, the more than two hundred demon cultivators who attacked "Tonggui Ridge" had retreated to the designated area.
As soon as this group of demon cultivators stood still, a series of dull sounds suddenly came from the southwest horizon. The sound was very small and faint at first.
But in less than a breath of time, it was like a series of deafening spring thunder, or like thousands of horses galloping in the sky, rolling in.
The sound was so loud that the earth began to tremble. A heart-pounding pressure came over the world, causing all the monks here to feel a fear from the bottom of their souls.
The momentum even caused the demon cultivators outside other defense points hundreds of miles away to stop their attacks. Many of them were stunned at first, but then a kind of fanaticism and madness appeared in their eyes.
The short and strong demon cultivator nearby and all the other demon cultivators behaved in the same way. They were stunned for a moment, and then one by one they became brilliant.
The short and strong demon cultivator opened his mouth wide, and finally uttered a sentence from his throat, "This... Is this a thunder bomb? No wonder they asked us to retreat. The adults finally started to use thunder bombs. Are they going to have a decisive battle?"
The demon cultivator beside him walked back and forth excitedly, stomping his feet on the spot repeatedly.
"What 'Tonggui Ridge' is? It's just a pile of rubble and wasteland in front of the thunder bomb. I didn't expect that they would use the thunder bomb."
In just a moment, long deep blue lines appeared in the sky above "Tonggui Ridge" and slid across the sky, like a few meteors breaking through the sky.
The gravel on the ground bounced up and whimpered, like countless splashes of water in the heavy rain. The large clouds in the sky turned into white dots, just like startled birds disappearing in the rumbling sound.
Li Yan's figure floating in the air rose and fell, and he couldn't control it with his cultivation. Li Yan was shocked and felt his hair stand on end. The feeling of death that the "Blue Demon Dragon" brought to him in the North Sea instantly enveloped his whole body.
His spiritual sense instantly swept towards the terrifying pressure in the distance. The next moment, Li Yan's face changed drastically. He used his "Feng Chongtian" body technique to its full potential and pounced towards the core of the "Yin Yang Boundary River Formation".
At the same time, Li Yan's voice sounded in the hearts of all the cultivators in "Tonggui Ridge".
"The demon clan's powerful magic weapon is attacking! Use all your strength to start the defense formation!"
At this moment, he didn't care about hiding his powerful spiritual sense. In an instant, his spiritual sense transmitted messages to hundreds of people at the same time, but it seemed that no one thought of this at this time.
At the same time as Li Yan transmitted the message, many cultivators also sensed the death threat from the southwest. Even though they were separated by the defensive formation, they felt the chill penetrate their bodies. As the protective light shields on their bodies lit up one after another, various defensive talismans flew out of their storage bags and lit up outside the protective light shields one by one as if they were free.
The second breath, "Boom..."
A loud bang sounded outside the formation, and a dazzling blue light exploded on the south side of the formation. Along with the rise of a light ball that was three hundred feet in size, "Tonggui Ridge" shook violently. Just like the sea surface with only slight wind and waves before, it was now raging with waves and the boat was about to capsize.
The entire formation made a "creaking" sound as if it could not bear the weight, and it seemed like it would break in the next moment.
When the loud noise rang out, most of the cultivators in the formation had already opened their spiritual power shields and covered their bodies with defensive talismans, but the next moment many of them were holding their heads and screaming.
Blood spurted out of their seven orifices, and cracks of varying sizes appeared on their skin.
Those with weaker magical powers had already rolled on the ground in pain, uttering wailing sounds that were not like human voices.
Monks with profound magical powers like Wu Ye also had pale faces, blood flowing from their ears, buzzing sounds in their heads, and they kept tapping themselves with their hands, madly and recklessly circulating their magical powers.
Gong Yuantai, Wang Ning and the others, with their spiritual lights flickering all over their bodies, took out the pills with trembling hands and swallowed them in handfuls.
Bro let out a scream and sat down on the ground. Immediately, an arm as thin as a smoke stretched out from the bamboo basket behind him, and wrapped around Bro's head and ears.
Although Li Yan's movements were fast and his body movements were used to the extreme, he was still half a second too late when he plunged into the core of the formation. The entire "Tonggui Ridge" shook violently, and Li Yan's spiritual power surged wildly, and he finally stabilized his body. There was also a "buzzing" sound in his head, and his chest was extremely stuffy, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable.
At this moment, the tyranny of the "Guishui Sutra" was clearly revealed, and the depressed mood was instantly resolved under the impact of Li Yanyuan's strong spiritual power.
But then he saw the nine monks sitting cross-legged around the dazzling white light column. They were not so lucky. At the same time that "Tonggui Ridge" was shaking violently, a purple light became stronger in the cave.
After a few screams and groans, four monks were blown backwards. The sounds of "bang bang bang" hitting the walls of the cave were heard. The four monks fell to the ground the next moment, and for a moment they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
As for the remaining four people, blood was gushing out of their mouths and noses, and they looked extremely exhausted, but they were still able to maintain the cross-legged position.
Li Yan's mind was buzzing as he heard the trembling and terrified cry of the little purple dragon elephant, "Master... this is a Yuanying-level attack!"
Li Yan had no time to check the injuries of the five people and the terrified voice of the little purple dragon elephant. He saw at a glance that cracks had appeared on the white light column in the center.
He was shocked, "I just took over the defense of Tonggui Ridge in less than half an incense stick of time. Is this place going to be destroyed by me?"
Li Yan had no idea that the enemy was waiting for this moment to attack, so that someone could take over the defense of "Tonggui Ridge". Any other team would have ended up like this.
But he is the most unlucky one. He may die here before he can accomplish anything.
Seeing that the white beam of light was still blinding the sky, Li Yan felt a little relieved. If he had not placed the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" here in advance, it would be hard to say whether the core of this formation would collapse.
His original intention of setting up the "Great Dragon Elephant Formation" was just to prevent the actions of cultivators with ulterior motives, but he did not expect that it would be an unintentional success. While protecting the core of the formation, he also protected the nine people.
Li Yan didn't know the current situation outside, but when the formation was attacked, the place that bore the greatest force must be the core mechanism of the formation. There was no doubt about that.
Li Yan threw the compass in his hand, and the bronze compass plunged into the dazzling white light.
Li Yan's aura was surging and surging, which was simply incomparable to that of the other five people. Under the shocked eyes of the remaining five people, Li Yan's aura suddenly changed as his spiritual power gushed out.
The black water spiritual power that was originally wrapped around his body turned into a white light in an instant, and an abundant and extremely pure golden spiritual power filled the entire cave. There was a slight delay in the change of the two attributes of spiritual power.
The conversion of the two kinds of spiritual power made the five people feel that they had already produced hallucinations in their consciousness during the previous attack. Li Yan himself was cultivating gold-type spiritual power, and the purity of Li Yan's gold-type spiritual power was something they had never seen before.
At this moment, Li Yan no longer cared about what others thought. The five fingers of his right hand formed into claws, and five powerful spiritual powers were injected into the compass that was constantly rotating in the white light column.
Li Yan already knew from the spell of the "Yin Yang Boundary River Formation" that this formation was a gold-based formation. Its defense was not inferior to that of an earth-based formation, and it could also launch small sword formation attacks.
This can only be done by a formation master who has deeply penetrated the solidity and sharpness of the gold element. From this, it can be seen that the "Yin Yang Boundary River Formation" is not as powerful as it seems on the surface, but is very strong.
At this time, although Li Yan didn't know what powerful magic weapon the demon cultivator had used, he knew that once the white light column fell, this "Yin Yang Boundary River Formation" would be directly broken.
He alone could not control the white light column at the core of the formation, but he could forcibly control its operation through the formation compass.
At the moment when Li Yan's golden spiritual power injected into the compass that was spinning in the middle of the white light column, the white light column made a "humming" sound. The speed of rotation, which had begun to slow down because the nine people stopped injecting magic spells, increased again.
The cracks on it actually showed signs of trying to move and stitch up. Without waiting for Li Yan to shout, he ordered the five dazed people to attack the white beam of light, and the entire mountain made a loud "boom" sound again.
This time the mountain was shaking more than twice as hard as before. The walls of the cave had already begun to crack, and a lot of gravel and dirt were falling down. The entire cave was filled with dust and smoke for a while.
Li Yan, who was in the process of infusing spiritual energy, had his clothes pop with a sound, and the sleeves of his outstretched arms burst open, revealing his dark and strong arms, with veins on his arms tangled like green snakes.
Li Yan let out a muffled groan, and he felt his eyes go dark and he almost fainted from the recoil force.
If his body was not in much better shape than it was a month ago, the veins in his arms might have burst and he would have fainted.
At the same time, Li Yan's mind also heard the roar of a dragon and an elephant from the little purple divine dragon elephant. This sound only resounded through Li Yan's mind, but it was also the first time that Li Yan heard the little purple divine elephant's scream of fear and anger.
The purple light of the entire cave had turned dark black, and with the dazzling white light in the center, it looked extremely eerie and strange. However, the five people did not know what the purple light was, and they just thought that it was a counterattack caused by the core restriction of the formation when it was attacked from the outside.
Due to the violent shaking of the mountain this time, there were many more cracks on the white light column, and many of the cracks had become wider.
The power of this attack is too terrifying. Even with Li Yan's physical body, he still looks so weak.
If he was not only controlling the core of the formation instead of facing this kind of attack directly, Li Yan estimated that he would have been blown into a pile of blood by this perverted attack.
