The Great Wild God - Chapter 237
Chapter 237 Suspicious Formation
Dense mist gushed over from all directions, and it was like a turbulent current that was pulling huge amounts of energy, making it difficult for Chen Xun and Jiang Bingyun to walk.
At the same time, the thick mist was like a sticky lake, covering his spiritual sense. Chen Xun would not notice until the Blood Sword Sect disciples used the thick mist to cover up to twenty feet away.
However, through the Soul Essence Battle Soul, Chen Xun communicated with the six demonic fox puppets’ divine souls. Even if the Blood Sword Sect disciples were to sneak within twenty feet to launch an attack, they were not afraid. He and Jiang Bingyun did not deviate from the west bank of Wild Horse Stream and advanced towards Tianma Lake step by step.
Jiang Bingyun followed closely behind Chen Xun. She could only vaguely see the six Demonic Fox puppets brandishing their sharp claws, tearing apart and killing the Blood Sword Sect disciples without exception. Her heart trembled incomparably.
These six demonic fox puppets weren’t much different from ordinary mountain foxes. Only Chen Xun was as tall as his chest. He said that he was a puppet, but his figure was strange and agile, and he moved forward and backward quickly. He wasn’t any weaker than an ordinary Reincarnation Realm martial cultivator.
Jiang Bingyun was even more shocked. Among the Blood Sword Sect disciples who had used the thick fog to cover themselves, there were many Reincarnation Realm experts. However, even if the saber light and sword qi used by these Reincarnation Realm experts directly slashed into the body of the Demon Fox puppet, it would still be difficult to injure them at all. It was comparable to wearing a top-grade Advanced Spirit Armor.
With these six demonic fox puppets, it was no wonder Chen Xun dared to drag her along and forcefully barge into the Heavenly Horse Lake.
However, she didn’t know that apart from the Qi and Blood Origin Pills, the six Soul Essence Battle Souls that drove the Demonic Fox Puppet could be said to be Chen Xun’s greatest harvest in the past two years.
The Profound Evolution Art set a ninth-grade standard for soul essence battle souls. A ninth-grade soul essence battle soul was comparable to a Kui Dragon. Chang Zhen’s soul strength was at its peak. Only such a pure and powerful soul essence battle soul could fully display the power of the Star Iron Demon Body.
The six Soul Essence Battle Souls that Chen Xun had refined over the past two years had just reached the fourth-grade standard, but they were still sufficient to fully activate the Demonic Fox’s battle potential.
Chen Xun had suffered greatly from the strength of the demonic beast body that cultivated the Demonic Fiend Blood Pill.
Amongst the demonic foxes killed, Chen Xun chose the six strongest demonic fox bodies to refine the puppet battle weapon. He even entered the Earth Fire Molten Cave on his way back to Cang Lan and used secret techniques to further refine the demonic fox body. It could be said that it was truly as strong as divine iron and didn’t fear saber weapons.
Ordinary beast corpse puppets were unable to fight for a long time because they used the remaining Qi, Blood, and True Yang in their bodies. However, the Demon Fox had Demon Fiend Blood Pills in its body, which allowed the divine power to split mountains and stones between its green scaled claws to surge.
Each of the six Demonic Fox puppets was comparable to an extremely powerful Martial Cultivator in the middle and late stages of the Reincarnation Realm.
Without this bit of confidence, Chen Xun didn’t dare to bring a two-tailed cub to Tu Shan alone.
**********************
“Chen Xun and the others rushed over from the north. They were intercepted unsuccessfully by Xiao Gufeng, Wei Xun, and the others. There was no news of them. They should have been poisoned …”
“Near Wild Horse Stream, Senior Brother Zhou Shun led more than a hundred disciples to intercept. All of them collapsed. Senior Brother Zhou Shun was seriously injured and returned …”
“One of the three suddenly jumped into Wild Horse Stream, disappearing or severely injured …”
“Chen Xun and another person entered Tian Ma Lake along the coast and were trapped in the fog formation. However, the intercepting disciples suffered heavy casualties, so they couldn’t stop them …”
The disciple reported the progress of the battle in Tianma Hubei. Yang Zhu’s expression became gloomier and gloomier, and his purple-black face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out.
Yang Zhu did not personally preside over the formation. There was no way to sense the specific situation inside the mist array through the array flag. However, at the entrance of the valley only twenty miles away from Tianma Lake, the mist was surging violently. Occasionally, broken limbs and broken blades would fly high up from the mist. Anyone could guess that there was a fierce battle there. Furthermore, the situation should be extremely unfavorable to the Blood Sword Sect disciples who were intercepting them.
“How could this be? Didn’t the fog of the maze say it could block the spiritual sense and senses that trapped the enemy?” Lou Jun was also puzzled. No matter how strong Chen Xun was, there should be a limit. He wouldn’t be so valiant and invincible.
“I wonder where Chen Xun summoned the six Core Formation demonic foxes. None of them are inferior to late-stage fetal restoration martial cultivators. Elder Zeng, please send reinforcements as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to stop them from approaching Tianma Lake …”
“Six Core Formation Demon Foxes!” Yang Zhu’s eyes were wide open. It was hard to believe that Chen Xun hadn’t seen him for a long time. He had once again appeared in Tianma Hubei, and he had actually brought six Core Formation demonic foxes to rescue Beishan.
Fox beasts were quite common in the Wilderness. They weren’t high-grade desolate beasts, but no matter how ordinary desolate beasts were, once they cultivated for a thousand years, they would definitely not be taken lightly. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that they were comparable to late Reincarnation Realm martial cultivators.
Yang Zhu had originally been able to capture Blackstone Peak in one fell swoop today. Who would have thought that Chen Xun would return with six demonic foxes? In other words, Wei Xun and the others who first encountered Chen Xun in the vicinity of Little Fox Peak must have been killed.
In order to avoid attacking Blackrock Peak, The nine races of the Northern Mountains had the intention of killing each other. When Yang Zhu set up the Yin Yang Qi Formation, he placed almost all of the attack attributes spirit flags on the Yang Formation at the mouth of the valley. The Yin Formation deployed at the center of the Tianma Lake had no other means of attack than releasing the mist illusion formation. Naturally, it could not stop Chen Xun’s Six Fox Foxes from entering the Tianma Lake from the north.
To Yang Zhu’s surprise, the people of the Northern Mountain had actually deployed two four-pillar Mountain River Arrays on Blackrock Peak, and two spirit dragons had gathered together, one green and one white.
Although they had already beaten half of the stone stronghold to smithereens, the two spirit dragons, one green and one white, guarded the narrow space within the stone room that was more than ten zhang in radius. They had killed and injured more than a hundred disciples, but they were unable to forcefully attack them for a time.
“Sect Leader, Lou Rong and I will go back and take a look.” Lou Jun said.
If the six demonic foxes were comparable to late Reincarnation Realm experts, Lou Jun and Lou Rong’s return to Tianma Lake would be useless.
However, Elder Zeng was not allowed to preside over the Yin Yang Qi Formation. Otherwise, if Elder Zeng were to be replaced, not to mention stopping Chen Xun and the other two Six Foxes, even killing Chen Xun and the other Six Foxes in the mist Formation would be a piece of cake.
‘”You, Lou Rong, Sun Wen, and Jiang Liang go back to Tianma Lake first and ask the disciples to withdraw. As long as you can stall that brat, it’s fine. Wait for us to knock down Blackrock Peak and see if that little bastard can turn the world upside down.” Yang Zhu thought for a while and said to Lou Jun, “You, Lou Rong, Sun Wen, and Jiang Liang, go back to Tianma Lake first.”
Lou Jun thought to himself that if they supported Tian Ma Lake and withdrew the Blood Sword Sect disciples into the formation, they would be able to use the Yin Formation Defense Spiritual Shield and the Illusory Mist Confusion Formation to drag Chen Xun and the other six foxes for an hour, then they should be able to win.
******************************
The six demonic fox puppets had a thousand jun of power between their claws, and they were capable of splitting mountains and splitting rocks. Jiang Bingyun chanted the incantation incantation. The black clouds rolled in the dense fog, and a large amount of icicles shot down towards the spirit shield. Her face was slightly pale, and she was also doing her best at this moment. Chen Xun even pushed the Lightning Sound Sword Art to its limit, causing sword lights to shine like the morning sun.
The protective spirit shield that enveloped Tianma Lake released clouds of multicolored light, easily neutralizing Chen Xun and Jiang Bingyun’s fierce attacks.
Just like a giant rock thrown into a lake, apart from ripples of spiritual energy, Chen Xun and the other two, the Six Foxes, were simply unable to cause a fundamental impact on the formation.
Large magic formations were often composed of dozens or hundreds of magical artifacts. Strictly speaking, they were within the scope of magical artifacts, but their power was far beyond that of ordinary magical artifacts.
Because the formation of large magic arrays was extremely complex and required a tremendous amount of Spiritual Qi to evolve spells and divine abilities, they were mostly set up according to Spiritual Acupoints and Spiritual Veins to protect the mountain gates. They were also often called mountain protection magic arrays.
If the Mountain Protection Formation could be easily broken by Chen Xun and the other two, how could they bear the title of “Mountain Protection Formation”?
Standing in the sky above the water of Tianma Lake, Lou Jun’s lips curled into a contemptuous mockery. Looking coldly at Chen Xun and the others who wanted to use the strength of the two of them to break through the spirit shield, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Look at these two clowns. Today, they really let us see the joke of an ant shaking a maytree?”
“Old thief Lou Jun, I think you used to be the head of a clan. You sold yourself to Qing Yangzi as a slave first, and now you’re a dog from the Blood Sword Sect. How dare you laugh at me?”
Chen Xunyu sent Six Fox to continuously attack the spirit shield. He and Jiang Bingxing backed up slightly and scolded each other before the battle. His strength wasn’t any weaker than anyone else’s.
No matter how thick Lou Jun’s skin was, he couldn’t bear to hang on to Chen Xun’s pain. With a cold look in his eyes, he said, “No matter how sharp your teeth are, it won’t be able to stop the fate of the Northern Mountain clansmen being torn apart today.”
Chen Xun pointed at the mouth of the river valley in the distance and smiled.
“You grandsons, do you really think we just want to break this formation? Open your dog eyes and look back!”
“Humph!” As a member of the formation, Lou Jun wasn’t afraid that Chen Xun would use any tricks. He turned around and sneered, “I turned around, so what can you do?”
“The Yang formation at the mouth of the valley seems to be much weaker?” One of the cultivators beside him was very sharp-eyed. He quickly saw that there was indeed a change at the mouth of the valley. For a moment, he did not understand why the mouth of the valley had weakened its attack on Black Rock Peak.
Lou Jun was also stunned at first, but then he thought of what was going on. He didn’t expect that Chen Xun’s plan to surround Wei and save Zhao was still effective.
The unique terrain of Tianma Lake was capable of gathering spiritual energy. However, due to the lake’s wide surface, there was no sealed narrow opening. As spiritual energy gathered, it was also constantly spilling out. It was definitely not the best place to set up a mountain protection array.
Although the Yin Formation was made up of 108 spirit flags and was considered high-grade even in the Mountain Protection Formation, the first step was to maintain a gigantic spirit shield that was more than ten kilometers wide to cover the entire Tianma Lake, so as to prevent the Spiritual Qi from leaking out and maintain the operation of the formation.
As a result, the amount of spiritual energy that the Yin Formation could absorb was limited to the amount that could be exported to the Yang Supplying Formation.
When Chen Xun and Six Fox attacked, if they wanted to strengthen the defensive power of the spirit shield, the amount of spirit energy they could lose to the Yang Supplying Formation would be further limited. At this moment, it would be difficult for them to form an effective power against the Black Rock Peak.
“Idiot, do you understand?” Chen Xun proudly shouted when he saw Lou Jun and the others in the formation.
“So what? We’ll just die a moment later.” Lou Jun’s old face turned ashen, but he wasn’t worried about anything. The Yin Yang Qi Formation swallowed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, allowing it to circulate endlessly. He didn’t believe that the six demonic foxes would be able to persist in attacking the spirit shield for long.
“Idiot, why didn’t you know that there would be no reinforcements from the Northern Mountain after a while?” Chen Xun sneered.
Hearing Chen Xun’s words, Lou Jun’s heart was covered in a layer of shadow.
Most of the Northern Mountain clansmen had begun to retreat southward eight days ago, but a few experts, such as Liuzong Tu and Zuo Qingmu, stayed at Black Rock Peak for half a step. This caused many people to be puzzled.
At this moment, Chen Xun knew that it was not good for them, but he was still stuck in a stalemate. How could Lou Jun not be suspicious in his heart?
“Could you ask the Sect Leader and the others to retreat quietly and kill these two so as to avoid a stalemate?” One of them suppressed his voice and discussed with Lou Jun.
