"I have a powerful talisman that has the power of an initial attack from the initial stage of foundation building!" said a Qi-refining cultivator.

Afterwards, each Qi-refining cultivator revealed his or her own trump cards. They were all talented cultivators in the sect, and they all had trump cards that were more or less beyond their own realm.

Of course, these trump cards are not so easy to use, just like the self-destruction of the bronze corpse. Without the protection of the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation', the owner of the bronze corpse will be backfired after the self-destruction. On such a battlefield, it is almost equivalent to a means of mutual destruction.

However, it takes time to activate powerful talismans at the level of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

It is impossible to achieve true instantaneousness, and this little bit of time could be the difference between life and death.

Li Shiming was also considering whether he should take action as well. He used to want to keep his three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse and the middle-grade magical weapon Gatling gun secret.

Because whether it is the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse or the mid-grade magical weapon Gatling, these are things that have never existed in this world before.

But ever since he met Ren Fei'er's mother, the Jindan boss knew that he was arrogant when he saw the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse and the middle-grade magic weapon Gatling.

To powerful cultivators, everything he did was just a small move. No matter how many tricks a bronze corpse in the Qi Refining Stage could perform, it was still the combat power of the Qi Refining Stage.

As for the middle-grade magical weapon Gatling, its real power lies in the continuous attacks at the eighth level of Qi Refining. After reaching a certain level, such attacks cannot even break the defense.

Even if the attacks of the eighth level of Qi Refining accumulate to a terrifying number, they cannot cause any damage unless the defense is broken.

Of course, this is what the Jindan boss thinks. In the Qi Refining Stage, the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse is better, but it has more attack directions and more weapons.

The mid-grade Gatling gun is a real killer weapon. Unless you have the physical training ability like Baili Jinyan, you will not be able to withstand the attack of the mid-grade Gatling gun.

Besides, Li Shiming was not worried at all that someone would spy on the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse and the middle-grade magical weapon Gatling.

The core foundation of the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse is the anatomical and surgical capabilities of the previous life, which can be as detailed as the connection of every tiny blood vessel and nerve, plus the ingenious ideas of that medical graduate student.

In addition, there is the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation' made of third-grade spiritual objects. Without these things, even if you imitate a three-headed, six-armed corpse, it will only be a showpiece and will have no practical use at all.

It is precisely because the tiny blood vessels and nerves are all properly connected that the cold and yin energy in the body can flow freely.

There is no need to worry about the middle-grade Gatling gun. The cost of one piece is as high as 10,000 spirit stones, not to mention the densely packed microscopic formations on it.

These micro-array formations were drawn with operations exceeding the micron level, and even Li Shiming himself could not replicate them outside the computer room.

In addition, the complex formation of the middle-grade magic weapon Gatling is naturally encrypted. Even if a formation master wants to study it, the trap formation designed by IBMz15 will drive the formation master crazy.

The most important thing is that Li Shiming is not without a foundation now. Although he is suspected of being a gigolo, he does have the background of a Jindan elder.

Any cultivator who dares to gain benefits from him must consider Elder Yin's thoughts.

Of course, he didn't know that his background was far more than just Elder Yin. Yin Shilan's mother, Elder Ren of the Xuanming Sect, was also a Jindan elder.

"Everyone, let's prepare for a counterattack. I will move the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation' forward. Brothers, please pay attention to cooperate and make an effective attack!" Li Shiming said as he summoned the bronze corpse.

The appearance of the bronze corpse stunned all the cultivators, especially the two Xuanming Sect cultivators, whose eyes were shining with brilliance.

If they didn't have some shame, they would have wanted to lie on the bronze corpse to study it.

The appearance of the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse was indeed too cool. The only pity was that each of its arms held a mid-grade magical weapon, which reduced the value of the appearance of the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse.

The two Xuanming Sect monks had an idea, who is the real disciple of Xuanming Sect? This bronze corpse with three heads and six arms was actually refined using the "Xuanming Corpse Refining Chapter".

How could they be wrong about this? They themselves were also studying the 'Xuanming Corpse Refining Chapter'.

"Well, Junior Brother Li, are you talking about moving the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation'?" He Chuan grasped another key point in Li Shiming's words and asked.

The monks woke up from the shock of the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse. After hearing He Chuan's question, they turned to look at Li Shiming to confirm whether it was true.

Moving the formation is an extremely troublesome task. To keep the formation running and move it at the same time, it requires a massive amount of calculations to achieve.

Few formation masters are willing to do so, mainly because it is too easy to make mistakes. If they are not careful, they will end up losing face and the formation will collapse on the spot.

"Yes, this 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' can move at the cost of reducing defense by 30%. The speed will not be too fast. Let's first discuss the target of concentrated attack, and then launch a surprise attack!" Li Shiming nodded and said.

Although the fighting has stopped, the distance between the two sides is not far, only one hundred meters.

At this distance, the long-range spells of both sides can still attack, and even some magical weapons can pose a certain threat at the longest distance.

But at a distance of one hundred meters, even if an attack was launched, the Northern Shu Qi-refining cultivators would have enough time to respond.

The Qi-refining monks from Northern Shu were also discussing combat methods and considering how to break the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation'.

"The three of us will attack the third one on the left!" said a Qi-refining cultivator from one of the Seventh Sects in a deep voice.

"The three of us will attack the one holding the dust!" said another monk from the Seven Sects.

They had all fought against the Northern Shu Qi Refining Monks, so they knew that it would take at least three monks from the Seven Sects to work together, and at least one of them would have to have a trump card attack, in order to cause damage to the Northern Shu Qi Refining Monks.

They were divided into teams of three, one of which had only two monks, and in the end Li Shiming was the only one left.

They did not ask Li Shiming, because Li Shiming's task was not easy either, as he needed to move the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation'.

The monks from the seven sects began to adjust their positions and took out the means that would require a long time to prepare and began preparations in advance.

In fact, moving the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' was not as difficult as they imagined. IBM z15 had already analyzed the surrounding environment. With the data generated by these analyses, moving the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' only required putting the taken out flags back to the reasonable position.

Li Shiming mobilized his spiritual thoughts and activated the art of driving objects. He needed to move eighteen formation flags at once.

The 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' shook slightly, and then the cultivators from the seven sects in the formation felt that the range of the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' had expanded forward by dozens of meters.

After Li Shiming placed the eighteen formation flags, the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' formed two connected sub-formations.

The monks from the seven sects, who had been prepared for this, attacked together. The sudden approach of the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' caught the Northern Shu Qi-refining monks off guard.

In the situation of many to one, two of the four Northern Shu Qi-refining monks who were sniped died on the spot, and the other two monks suffered some injuries and avoided the attack of the monks from the seven sects.

Li Shiming couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this. Even in this situation, the Northern Shu Qi-refining cultivator was still able to escape from the two of them, which showed that the defense of his protective treasure was very strong.

However, he was not worried that the Qi-refining cultivators in Beishu would have many such defensive treasures in their hands, because the defensive treasures that the Qi-refining cultivators could use were almost all disposable.

The defensive treasures of the Qi Refining Stage, especially those that can defend against an attack from the Foundation Establishment Stage, are almost all disposable treasures formed by powerful cultivators using some means to gather their own defensive spells into the treasure.

It is impossible to continuously withstand attacks beyond your own level without paying a price.

This round of short-term contact combat ended with the monks from the seven sects gaining the upper hand, and the numerical advantage between the two sides was instantly reversed.

The cultivators from the seven sects paid the price of four of their trump cards, while the attacked Qi-refining cultivator from Northern Shu also paid the price of several defensive treasures.

Twelve monks from the Seven Sects against eleven monks from Beishu, two of whom were seriously injured.

The two Xuanming Sect monks had fierce looks in their eyes, and were about to let the bronze corpse rush out of the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' to launch a self-destructive attack, when the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse, which had been motionless, launched an attack.

Li Shiming's target was two severely injured Qi-refining monks from Northern Shu.

He once again pulled out the eighteen formation flags in the rear, then rearranged them and approached the retreating Northern Shu Qi-refining cultivators again.

The six middle-grade Gatling guns of the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse opened fire at the same time. Each middle-grade Gatling gun fired an average of thirty ice crystal bullets per second, and each bullet had the power of a blow from an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

For any Qi Refining cultivator present, an attack from an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator can be defended against, and it will not have any impact.

But when the number increased from one to one hundred and eighty, the quantitative change led to a qualitative change.

No matter how powerful a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage is, he is still in the Qi Refining Stage. Unless he is a freak like Baili Jinyan who uses the third-grade materials of the Golden Core Stage to practice body-refining techniques, it is impossible for him to ignore the attacks of a cultivator in the eighth stage of Qi Refining.

At the moment of launching the attack, the defenses of two Northern Shu Qi-refining monks, whose defenses were greatly reduced due to injuries, were broken. They were trying to dodge, but the attack was too fierce.

The two Northern Shu Qi-refining monks held out for a moment before being killed together.

The three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse did not stop attacking. The six mid-grade Gatling guns turned their guns and aimed at another Qi-refining monk from Beishu who was still within the attack range.

Within two breaths, the top-grade defensive magic weapon and several defensive talismans of this Northern Shu Qi-refining cultivator were all destroyed.

After paying such a price, the Northern Shu Qi-refining cultivator was able to escape the attack range of the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse at the cost of being injured.

All the Qi-refining monks on both sides of the enemy changed their expressions. Before, they were surprised by the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse because of its own peculiarity, but now, they were horrified by the six middle-grade magical weapons, Gatling guns.

They all realized that they had made a mistake. What was really scary was the six mid-grade Gatling weapons.

The middle-grade magical weapon Gatling is simply a divine weapon for the Qi Refining Period. The continuous attacks of the eighth level of Qi Refining are so intensive that no one can resist them even with any means.

The Northern Shu Qi-refining monks discovered that the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' combined with the fighting style of the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse and the middle-grade magical weapon Gatling was a perfect match.

If they want to attack the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse, they need to break the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation', and to break the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' they need to get close to the formation and attack for a long time.

But once you get close to the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation', you will be attacked by the six middle-grade Gatling weapons in the hands of the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse.

This is an unsolvable vicious circle. In addition, the battle area is not large for the Qi Refining cultivators, and the space for movement is not ample. They must always be careful not to be blocked somewhere.

They cannot leave the battlefield. Leaving would mean they have admitted defeat.

Neither the cultivators from the Seven Sects nor the Qi-refining cultivators from Northern Shu have the power to admit defeat. This is a battle between two major forces, and it's either victory or death.

"My fellow brothers, please protect me!" said a cultivator among the Qi-refining cultivators in Northern Shu in a deep voice.

The other Northern Shu Qi-refining cultivators were all stunned, but soon realized that this cultivator had the highest status and had the background of a Golden Core Elder.

The foundation of other cultivators could not be compared with that of such cultivators. All the Qi-refining cultivators of Northern Shu went all out and used all kinds of powerful means to attack the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation'.

The outburst of the Northern Shu Qi-refining cultivators, especially the fog techniques released by several cultivators, blocked the vision of the cultivators from the seven sects.

Li Shiming's spiritual consciousness penetrated the fog and found that the Qi-refining cultivator behind the many Northern Shu Qi-refining cultivators was taking out a talisman and sitting cross-legged on the ground.

He knew Fu Bao, and the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' could definitely not withstand the power of Fu Bao's attack.

What is a talisman? It is a terrifying existence that even cultivators in the late foundation building stage dare not take head-on. It is the most powerful means bestowed by Jindan cultivators to their descendants.

Almost without any hesitation, Li Shiming's figure was wrapped in a sword light and flew out from the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation'.

Sword escape is currently his fastest short-distance movement method. In this situation, he completely relies on speed to protect himself, and defensive magic tools and the like are simply unusable.

So normally no monk would use it in battle, especially in such a large-scale battle.

Because once hit by a covering spell, the body will completely bear the enemy's attack.

Therefore, Li Shiming's use of sword escape to fly out of the 'Inverted Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation' was not expected by not only the Qi-refining cultivators of Beishu, but also by the cultivators of the seven sects.

"Stop him!" the Northern Shu Qi-refining cultivator screamed.

The fog not only blocked the vision of the cultivators from the seven sects, but also affected the vision of the Qi-refining cultivators from Northern Shu.

It was difficult for them to track the sword light transformed by Li Shiming, and they could only use covering spells to intercept him in the direction of his movement in advance.

They were also worried about hurting their own monks, as the range in which they could cast covering spells was extremely limited.
