"Master, spiritual power is insufficient, use the formation!"
Both times, Xiao Ling blocked the attack with her still glowing body. Ji Wan only bore the residual power of the thunder. Even so, a lot of bright red blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and her internal organs felt a dull pain.
What formation? Ji Wan's mind was already in chaos after being struck by lightning.
Yang Guan tried his best to help Ji Wan block the thunder that was falling again, but even though his spiritual power was exhausted, the thunder that fell on Ji Wan did not decrease at all.
After hearing Xiao Ling's instructions, Yang Guan understood what the formation was: "Your Highness! Xiao Ling wants you to use the formation to block the thunder!"
At this time, Xiling Mingyueye took the teleportation array from Qingshizhou back to Shicheng, and together with Yang Guan, reminded Ji Wan: "Fuguang! Use the jade pendant on your waist!"
Ji Wan shook her head. She could clearly hear the anxious voices of Yang Guan and her mother in the distance. She also wanted to reach out to take out the jade pendant from her waist to activate the protective formation, but she felt severe pain all over her body when she moved her fingers. She couldn't move at all!
The fourth bolt of thunder struck, creating a large hole in the ground. Ji Wan lay sprawled on the muddy ground, his entire body burnt, and he could even smell the aroma of meat.
The fifth thunderbolt fell, and the huge snowflakes floating down from the sky completely buried the people in the pit. Xiling Mingyue's eyes were full of despair, and she was stopped by Nie Ying and did not rush into the pit.
If you don't stop it, the thunder will detect that someone is helping to overcome the tribulation, and the tribulation will be even heavier.
When the sixth thunderbolt fell, Yang Guan's eyes were already bloodshot, and Xiling Mingyue fell to the ground exhausted.
The last heavenly thunder had been brewing for a long time. Ji Wan's current state was very strange. She could feel that she had been struck by the thunder and had no reaction at all. She could also feel her soul floating in the sky, looking at the many people who were looking up at the sky and watching Ji Wan transcend the thunder.
The camera turned and it was the crying mother and Yang Guan with red eyes. Mother and Yang Guan...
What are they doing? Oh, it looks like a thunder tribulation. Whose thunder tribulation? Mine!
Yes, I am going through a thunder tribulation!!!
Ji Wan's eyes flashed, and the pain returned. "Boom!" The last thunder tribulation fell, and dangerous arcs of electricity with high temperature wandered in Ji Wan's body. Ji Wan felt pain all over his body, including his right leg which had long lost consciousness!
Outside the city, when the first thunder fell, Yao Cheng was already preparing to advance with the vanguard troops and the prepared siege equipment. He was going to take advantage of Ji Wan's illness today to kill her.
The terrain of Shicheng is not only an obstacle for Ji Wan, but also for Yao Cheng now.
On the city wall, Cao Kezheng ordered his soldiers with a cold expression to prepare their bows and crossbows and shields. In the heavy snow, he watched the black masses of people below the city change into long formations, continuously rushing into the formation set up by Lin Chanhua and Tuoba Feng, and then being instantly turned into meat paste.
Only armor and bright red pieces of meat were left on the ground. Most of the soldiers on the front line were from the vanguard camp who had received a lot of silver from their families the day before and were willing to fight for their lives. Many of them were children from poor families.
Cao Ke was a man who worked for money. He did not hold a high official position and did not come from a high-class family. He naturally knew that such things would happen in military camps everywhere, so he did not look surprised.
The shouts and cries of killing were deafening below, and Cao Ke watched coldly from above.
Behind the enemy, Yao Cheng saw this situation and subconsciously turned his head to look at Xie Xun: "Mr. Mingyu, Ji Wan has the help of immortals. Even if we have a million soldiers, we can't withstand such consumption..."
Xie Xun, also known by his courtesy name Mingyu.
To be honest, although they have a large number of people, the terrain of Shicheng can indeed serve as a good barrier for 100,000 people.
Xie Xun, handsome and the second son of the Chenzhou Xie family, was just turning twenty this year. He had a close relationship with his eldest brother, who was also fortunate enough to have a natural talent for cultivating immortals. When his eldest brother returned home after a break, Xie Xun had witnessed the immortal's methods.
He knew best that the methods of immortals were something that mortals like them could never break even if they tried their best in their entire lives.
But Xie Xun looked up at the rolling black clouds. The rumbling thunder in the sky was clearly the perfect time to shake the morale of his troops. It was hard for him to let Ji Wan go so easily.
"Ji Wan's surname is Ji. Right now, she and Ji Qin are the biggest threat to the Xie family and the princes. If we give up such a good opportunity and don't defeat her while she's weak, and let her continue to develop, we don't know if we'll ever have the chance to get rid of her again!"
It was really difficult for Xie Xun to give up such a good opportunity. He had already found a reason, such as "divine punishment" or "retribution", and he could just give Ji Wanan any one of them. But why did the immortal help Ji Wanan?
Looking at the water-like formation, Xie Xun recalled playing with his brother's magic as a child. Watching the continuous reports of casualties from the front lines, he had no choice but to make the decision: "We will withdraw after the divine punishment ends!"
No matter what, there are 100,000 soldiers here, we have to give it a try!
On the city wall, the advisors, all wrapped in thick cloaks, breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the constantly consuming local soldiers below. Cui Min was the first to speak: "If the enemy continues to charge like this, they should be able to consume a lot of their troops!"
"If they continue with this intense offensive within an hour, no less than ten thousand people will die when they encounter the formation!" Tuoba Feng was extremely confident in his formation.
Cui Min nodded, then suddenly turned to look at Cao Ke, who was staring at him. A light flickered in their eyes that they both understood. Cui Min lowered his eyelids and said hesitantly after a long pause, "Xingzhi wants to...?"
Cao Ke saw that Cui Min was still hesitant, so he gave a positive answer: "Yes, Rucheng, that's what I mean!"
Gong Xu scratched his head, not understanding what these scholars were talking about. "Gentlemen, what are you talking about? What do you mean?"
Jin Lie, however, looked like an experienced person and patted Gong Xu on the shoulder: "The two gentlemen are discussing countermeasures."
"What countermeasures are you discussing?" Gong Xu asked curiously.
"I don't know either..." Jin Lie answered honestly.
Gong Xu: “…”
Seeing the two generals talking at cross purposes for a long time without knowing what was going on, Pan Zhuo couldn't help but say, "You two, you're lucky to be in His Highness's camp, and he treats you so kindly. If you were in another prince's camp, someone would definitely laugh at you!"
Now there is one more person scratching his head, Jin Lie.
Cui Min brought the topic back to Tuoba Feng, "Afeng, could you temporarily open a small hole in the formation to let a few enemies in, and then close it."
"Mr. Rucheng wants to...?"
"Use this method to make the enemy think that the formation is about to fail, causing them to lose many more soldiers." Cao Ke answered him on behalf of Cui Min.
