The witch clan's warfare model is very different from that of immortal cultivators.

Simply put, if the immortal cultivators are elite teams that kill each other, then the witch clan is more accustomed to large-scale legion battles - which is very similar to the wars among the demon clans in the Eastern Emperor Realm.

If you think about it carefully, the form of warfare in the Eastern Emperor Realm was probably inherited from the ancient Witch Clan.

As for the Taoist sects today, although they have switched to seemingly more moderate fights and confrontations, the casualty rate has not actually dropped much.

It's just that the mode of teams intercepting each other greatly reduces the probability of elite disciples being killed by mistake on the battlefield, making it acceptable to the Three Purities and Six Paths.

As Zhu Rong's subordinates, Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian soon received the corresponding battlefield missions:

Kill the aquatic creatures under Gonggong's command.

Gonggong's army was going upstream in the Hetao area, but the advance team had arrived at Kunlun in advance and was now pushing the front line forward near the source of the river, exchanging fire with Zhurong monks on both sides.

Since both sides were small in number, they returned to the elite volley battle that they were familiar with.

The source section of the river is completely covered with ice and frost on both sides, with only countless grey rugged rocks visible near the river channel.

A large number of aquatic creatures were lurking beneath the river surface, popping up one after another, shooting out a few water arrows and then quickly swimming back into the water.

The monks on Zhurong's side stood on both sides of the river, constantly shooting at the water creatures that appeared with Taoist magic and flying swords.

Unfortunately, most Taoist flying swords are of the fire element, and they become three points weaker when they enter water.

From time to time, some hot-tempered witches or monsters, unable to tolerate the other side relying on the terrain advantage to hide, would rush into the river and engage in hand-to-hand combat with them.

However, once they entered the water, their movements were restricted and they were outnumbered, so soon their bodies floated to the surface, spreading out in bright red ripples.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian were speechless. Who among the current practitioners doesn't carry several magical flying swords with different five elements attributes? This is to prevent this kind of restraint.

However, the witches under Zhurong seemed to regard the fire-related Taoism and magic weapons as some kind of belief, and now they are restrained - no wonder Zhurong was unwilling to fight against Gonggong's army by the river.

"Brother Qiu?" Xu Yinglian asked in a low voice.

This Qiu Ge is really easy to call... Qiu Changtian thought about it for a while, then said:

"What's wrong?"

"Take a look at the storage bag." Xu Yinglian reminded.

Qiu Changtian reached to his waist and took out a flying sword and a scripture from Xu Qiu's storage bag.

The flying sword is of the tenth rank wood type, with green wood branch patterns on its surface. It has no sword spirit, and there is no forbidden Taoism on it. It kills people purely by relying on the power of the flying sword itself, which can be said to be very cheap.

Unexpectedly, the scripture is about thunder, and the three most widely circulated types of thunder among the ten thunders: Jade Pivot Thunder, Divine Thunder and Big Hole Thunder.

The Jade Pivot Thunder is used to attack ghosts, the Divine Thunder is used to attack monsters, and the Great Hole Thunder is used to attack demons. In the ancient times before humans dominated the world, these were the three types of thunder techniques that thunder practitioners were most keen on practicing.

However, in modern times, the Taoist tradition of Lei Xiu has almost been cut off.

Even though Qiu Changtian searched everywhere, he only got the Jade Pivot Thunder and the Divine Thunder among the first three thunders, but there was no trace of the Big Hole Thunder - fortunately, it has finally been completed now.

In this way, the first six of the ten thunders are gathered.

Of course, since Xu Qiu’s storage bag contains thunder magic, it at least shows that he has tried to practice it before.

When Qiu Changtian uses thunder magic on the battlefield, he will have nothing to worry about.

His mind was in turmoil, thinking about Zhou Ding, and he saw Xu Yinglian taking out a scarlet flying sword from his storage bag.

Yujia Sword?

Qiu Changtian burst out laughing:

"Junior sister, I never thought that the flying sword you are using now actually came from the Phoenix Clan... Maybe it was the dowry when you married into the Xu family."

"Indeed." Xu Yinglian said with satisfaction.

She took out another scroll of scriptures, read it carefully with her spiritual sense for a while, and said with emotion:

"When Ancestor Feng Tong married into the Xu family, she not only brought the Yujia Sword, but also many of the Phoenix clan's fire-related Taoist magics... However, in history, the Tiannan Xu family has experienced many generations of dynastic failures, and the main family and distant branches have overlapped with each other, resulting in the loss of more than 80% of the Taoist magic."

"So now the property has been returned to its original owner?" Qiu Changtian said with a smile.

"Of course." Xu Yinglian seemed to want to remain reserved, but soon she couldn't help but smile.

The two were not in a hurry to join the battle. While the Zhurong monks in front had not discovered them yet, they first went to find a secluded valley nearby and studied and mastered the Taoist methods in the scriptures.

Then they rushed to the river and joined the battlefield.

Qiu Changtian first condensed the divine thunder and then struck it directly into the turbulent river.

Almost all the aquatic creatures in the river are monsters. When they are hit by the divine thunder that is specifically designed to defeat monsters, their corpses immediately float on the water surface, and their lives are cut off.

At first, the parties on the battlefield did not pay attention, after all, people were being hit and killed every moment, but soon the Hanoi Shui Tribe realized that something was wrong.

The comrades around me died too quickly!

"There is a thunder cultivator in the river!" A frightened warning spread underwater, followed by a more fierce counterattack from the aquatic creatures, attacking Qiu Changtian in the river.

Faced with so many attacks from magical powers, Qiu Changtian was not too confident to take them head-on. He just moved around frantically to attract the attention of the aquatic creatures in the river.

Xu Yinglian took the opportunity to find a secluded corner upstream across the river where the aquatic creatures couldn't see him, and began to practice magic spells with his hands.

Suddenly, a golden color flashed in her eyes - not the cold golden color of the dragon clan, but some bright golden color that seemed to be burning, and then fire spewed out of her mouth and nose.

This time, the bright fire did not appear to cover the sky like before, but condensed into a thin line and shot straight into the turbulent river.

In just a few breaths, the surrounding river water began to boil violently!

The extremely high temperature water vapor that was violently vaporized turned into countless violently colliding bubbles, which were pushed downstream by the water flow and soon flooded over the body surfaces of those water monsters.

Most of these monsters are from the Scaled Kun tribe. The moment the bubbles brushed past their bodies, their scales melted directly into pulp and their shells quickly dried up and cracked.

Then, the irresistible high temperature invaded inwards. Even the monsters with strong physical strength could not withstand this severe "fire damage" and soon floated up from the water.

The attacks on both sides of the river continued, but soon the monks under Zhu Rong noticed something wrong on the battlefield.

The water enemies died so quickly that the offensive was rapidly weakening and soon there was no movement.

One of the curious witches stared at the bubbles surging in the river and couldn't help but reach into the water out of curiosity.

"It's so hot!" The moment he touched the bubble, he instinctively withdrew his hand and screamed in surprise.

What kind of terrifying fire magic could make the witches under Zhu Rong feel that it was "too hot"?

Everyone stared at the countless bubbles in the river with fear for a while, then they turned their heads involuntarily to look around, wondering which monk had used such a powerful move.

However, Qiu Changtian had already met Xu Yinglian upstream, and the two of them left in a leisurely manner.

The illusion NPC cannot be used to brush up the synchronization value, Qiu Changtian has no desire to show off!
