Chapter 776: Defeat



On the fifth day at the second base, Li Yuanba was resting. During these five days, the Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion team had been dispatched three times.

Their luck was pretty good, as they did not encounter any late-stage fourth-grade hell creatures, which made their cleanup mission seem very easy.

By the way, ever since Li Yuanba treated the injuries of the great monks and blessed them with the magical power of 'Innate Wood', all the 'Hell's Abomination Crystal Essence' obtained by the super forces except Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect were given to Li Yuanba.

It’s not that they don’t want to keep it, but if they use conventional storage methods such as isolating jade boxes, problems will arise soon.

The worst time was when a great monk placed an isolation jade box containing the 'Essence of Hell's Abomination Crystal' in his soul crystal ring. However, one day later, he discovered that the isolation jade box had lost its effect at some point, and the radiation energy generated by the 'Essence of Hell's Abomination Crystal' had contaminated many precious spiritual objects in the soul crystal ring.

Of course, they were able to deliver the 'Hell's Abomination Crystal Essence' to Li Yuanba so smoothly because they had heard that the various superpowers in the Central Plains had conducted long-term research on the 'Hell's Abomination Crystal Essence' and that they had made such a decision because the 'Hell's Abomination Crystal Essence' was considered a useless fourth-grade material.

As for Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect, the 'Hell's Abomination Crystal Essence' in their hands is a big trouble. They are reluctant to throw it away, but it is a huge trouble to keep it on their body.

Other superpowers would not allow them to place the 'Hell's Abomination Crystal Essence' in the second base. The radiation pollution produced by the 'Hell's Abomination Crystal Essence' is too strong and has a great impact on the monks.

The great monks of Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect did not have the means that Li Yuanba had to deal with the 'Essence of Hell's Abomination Crystal'. In the end, they had no choice but to transfer the 'Essence of Hell's Abomination Crystal' to the great monks of other super powers at a small cost.

Even though the great monks of Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect knew that these 'Essence of Hell's Abomination Crystals' would eventually fall into Li Yuanba's hands, there was nothing they could do.

An alarm sounded at the second base, an alarm that would only be sounded in an emergency.

"What happened?" Many monks were asking the same question.

Li Yuanba took off into the air. This was his power. Except for the great monks, other monks were not allowed to fly freely in the base.

There are more than a thousand mid-Nascent Soul cultivators in this small base. If they can fly freely, this base will be in chaos.

Through his 'Divine Vision', he saw a fleeing team, and he recognized that the team was from the Baidi Sect.

However, the number of cultivators in the Baidi Sect team was reduced by half at this time, with less than fifty cultivators left.

The two great monks were flying in the air unsteadily, and it was obvious that they were seriously injured.

Li Yuanba looked towards the rear of the Baidi Sect's team, and his eyes couldn't help but focus.

"Damn it, how did they lead the monsters to our base!" Li Yuanba saw the situation behind him clearly and cursed.

Behind the Baidi Sect’s team was a battle formation consisting of two thousand creatures from hell.

A normal battle formation of two thousand creatures of Hell is not scary. Even if there is a battle formation under command, it will only add some trouble to the battle of the cultivators.

But in this battle formation of hell creatures, he found five fourth-grade late-stage hell creatures.

At the forefront of the battle formation of the hell creatures, two fourth-grade late-stage hell bull-headed creatures formed the sharp corners of the battle formation. Behind them were fourth-grade late-stage sheep-headed creatures, responsible for long-range attacks, constantly bombarding the monks of the Baidi Sect with evil energy balls.

A fourth-grade late-stage horse-headed creature lingered on the periphery of the battle formation, waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

At the end of the battle formation is a fourth-grade late-stage deer-headed creature, which is the most troublesome fourth-grade late-stage hell creature.

If there is only one fourth-grade late-stage deer-headed creature, it would be better, but if there are more than two fourth-grade late-stage hell creatures, the fourth-grade late-stage deer-headed creature must be eliminated first.

Otherwise, with the treatment of the fourth-grade late-stage deer-headed creature, the remaining fourth-grade late-stage hell creatures could not be killed instantly, and the fourth-grade late-stage hell creatures would be almost immortal.

It was the first time that Li Yuanba saw five fourth-grade late-stage hell creatures appear at the same time. No wonder the Baidi Sect was in such a miserable state.

"Protect the base and prepare to launch spell attacks in turns!" A great monk flew into the air and gave orders loudly.

Li Yuanba could also hear the discussion among the great monks in the audio communication channel.

Especially when the two great monks from the Baidi Sect shouted for help, they lacked their usual demeanor and sounded a little harsh.

Among all the cultivators, the calmest are those from Zhongzhou Continent. They have the 'Space Receiving Talisman', which gives them an extra layer of life protection compared to cultivators from other continents.

"Yuanba, you are in the middle of the base. Don't participate in the battle. Just be responsible for treatment!" Monk Lou said in the voice channel.

This proposal was not decided by Master Lou alone, but was a joint decision of all the masters.

With the presence of Li Yuanba, a healing monk, it can at least ensure that the core monks of each superpower can receive timely treatment after being injured.

Whether ordinary monks receive treatment depends on Li Yuanba's mood. No great monk will make any special requests in this regard.

There are more than a thousand cultivators here, and he is the only one. The consumption of the magical power of "Xiantian Yimu" is also not small, so it is impossible to treat everyone. He can only give priority to treating the key cultivators.

The key monks were marked by the great monks. These marks were the spiritual power beacons of the great monks, and Li Yuanba could sense them clearly.

If these cultivators are really injured, Li Yuanba will need to treat them immediately, which is why he is not required to participate in the battle.

The battle began the moment some of the remaining monks of the Baidi Sect rushed into the base. A round of spells covered the creatures of Hell, with special attention paid to two late-stage fourth-grade Hell Bull-Headed creatures.

As for the fourth-stage late-stage hell creatures behind, they were unable to carry out accurate attacks due to the distance and being obstructed.

When the spell rain fell on the creatures of Hell, a black shield appeared on the outer layer of the battle formation of the creatures of Hell, and it actually blocked the spell rain for a short time.

Although the black shield looked shaky, with the Hell creatures charging at full speed, the monks only launched this round of attack.

Previously, because the Baidi Sect was being chased too closely by the battle formation of Hell's creatures, if they attacked, there was a great possibility of accidentally injuring the Baidi Sect's team, so the base waited until the Baidi Sect's team was safe before launching the attack.

According to the original plan, more than a thousand monks, including many great monks, could definitely cripple this battle formation of hell creatures with a round of spell attacks.

Obviously, they underestimated the creatures of Hell, or rather, the battle formation joined by five late-stage fourth-grade Hell creatures was far beyond their imagination.

Two late-stage fourth-grade hell bull-headed creatures crashed into the formation of the base. This was a collision that carried the momentum of a charge by all hell creatures. The horns of the two late-stage fourth-grade hell bull-headed creatures had a peculiar armor-breaking effect.

Li Yuanba watched as the base formation was broken seven times in a row. Fortunately, the base formation was built by multiple super forces together, and its formation defense was as many as ten layers, so it was not completely broken by this impact.

At this time, a fourth-grade late-stage hell sheep-headed creature in the hell creature battle formation released an evil energy ball. The black energy ball hit the base formation just a moment slower than the two fourth-grade late-stage hell bull-headed creatures.

With a "crack", the formation could no longer hold on and broke apart.

"Spread out and fight on your own!" an order was issued from a great monk.

This had been planned long ago. Once the base was breached, the teams from each superpower would conduct mobile warfare.

The defense of the monks cannot compare with that of the creatures of hell, and most monks fight at a distance. After losing their base, they can only distance themselves from the creatures of hell.

Li Yuanba shook his head. The great monk who presided over this battle had obviously made a mistake.

It was because of misjudgment of the strength of the creatures from Hell that they were able to break through the defenses of the base.

In fact, as long as the attack was launched in advance, even if only a small number of Baidi Sect cultivators were affected, it would be better than the current situation.

He just saw that the defense of the battle formation of the creatures of hell could definitely be broken with one more bombardment of the Qihuo spell, and it could even cause considerable damage to the creatures of hell.

It is too late to think about these things now. I believe that the great monks will not make the same mistake again after this.

He flew back to the team of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion, and his healing mission ended before it even began.

Great Monk Lou and Great Monk Wu performed sword escape together, and all sword cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul followed suit. Their sword escape was dependent on the sword escape of the two great sword cultivators.

In this way, a sword cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul can borrow the sword escape speed of the two great sword cultivators for a short period of time.

Li Yuanba also used sword escape, but his sword escape speed was not slower than the two great sword cultivators. He did not need to use any force to keep up with the speed of the two great sword cultivators.

All the super forces used their own means. These super forces had special ways of accelerating. Under the leadership of the two great monks, they quickly moved away from the battle formation of the creatures of hell.

But there are exceptions. Two great monks from the Baidi Sect were seriously injured. They finally led the team back to the base, but they didn't expect that the base was destroyed before they could rest.

They did not receive any medical treatment from Li Yuanba, so at this time they could only muster up their remaining strength and escape into the distance.

At this time, they had no time to take care of their own monks. They only brought two core monks each. This was their last effort.

The battle formation of hell creatures rushed into the base, and the remaining monks of Baidi Sect were swallowed up by the battle formation of two thousand hell creatures before they could escape.

These extremely powerful mid-Nascent Soul cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation were all killed without even a wave in front of the two thousand creatures of Hell.

The Hell Creatures Battle Formation targeted another team, which was a little slower.

This team is from the Yuqing Sect. Originally, Lei Xiu should have been the fastest, but they have an injured great monk and many injured monks to carry.

This made them the second to last among all superpowers during their retreat.

The two Lei Xiu who were in charge of the injured monks suddenly felt a biting chill.

This is a danger warning when life is in danger. They want to speed up, but the speed of the incoming enemy is too fast.

The fourth-stage Hell Horse-headed creature who had been hovering outside the Hell Creatures' battle formation was waiting for this opportunity.

It regards the great monk as its primary target, and only by killing the most powerful monk among the enemies can it resolve the threat from the enemies.

From this we can see that the fighting style of these hell creatures has undergone great changes.

Li Yuanba was wondering whether the rare appearance of fourth-grade late-stage hell creatures in the past few days was intentional, just to organize such a battle formation to deal with the cultivators.

If this is true, then the intelligence of the spirit that controls the creatures in hell must be extremely high.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the tall tower. No matter how he looked at it, this tall tower might be related to the spirit of the weapon.

It's a pity that the tower cannot be destroyed, otherwise the spirit of the weapon might be unable to command these creatures from hell.

On the Yuqing Sect's side, a sudden attack from a fourth-grade late-stage hellish horse-headed creature caused the two thunder cultivators to be hit without any resistance, followed by the injured thunder cultivator who was being protected by them.

As the black light flashed, the first great monk to fall since the mission began appeared.

Because Li Yuanba's 'Xiantian Yimu' magical power has been strengthened, it has a very strong healing effect on great monks. Although many mid-Nascent Soul monks were lost in this large-scale mission, no great monk has died.

Master Lei Xiu from Yuqing Sect was the first to speak, and all the monks who saw this scene felt their hearts sink.

"No!" Another great thunder cultivator from Yuqing Sect let out a shrill cry.

Hundreds of years of friendship, coupled with sharing life and death, have given them a deep understanding of each other.

Li Yuanba saw that the great monk Lei Xiu, in his anger, glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and he felt a deep hatred in his eyes.

This means that the death of great monk Lei Xiu was blamed on him.

The battle formation of Hell creatures approached Yuqing Sect's team. They withstood Yuqing Sect's lightning attacks. The Hell Sheep-Headed Creatures counterattacked with a wave of evil energy balls, and then, led by two fourth-grade late-stage Hell Bull-Headed Creatures, they rushed into Yuqing Sect's team.

"Abandon the injured fellow disciples, disband the team and flee!" Great Monk Lei Xiu issued the final helpless order.

He regretted the decision he had made. Taking the injured monk with him affected his escape speed, which led to the current situation.

Dispersing the team is not a good solution, but it is the only solution.

The thunder cultivators scattered in all directions, and there would always be some who could use thunder escape to escape, rather than gathering together and being swallowed up by the battle formation of the creatures from hell.

After sending out a bolt of lightning, Master Lei Xiu also turned into a lightning and fled far away. He did not approach the teams of other super powers, but fled towards the entrance.
