Chapter 513 Attacking the Red Malachite Ridge 20
Zhong Cai is fine, and Wu Shaogan is certainly fine too.
The couple exchanged a glance, and just like when they met Wutian before, they took a few steps back.
Ji Zhan stood silently at the edge of the city wall.
Neither Zhong Cai nor Wu Shaogan brought up the matter of the blood rain absorbing artillery fire, so it's impossible that this person didn't know.
The current situation is that the battle at the Heavenly Realm has nothing to do with them.
—No, it can't be said that they are completely unrelated.
The only thing they have to do right now is keep a close eye on the city's defenses and make sure nothing goes wrong. They need to protect all the cultivators and flying artifacts in the city perfectly.
Zhong Cai looked in the direction of the blood rain.
There, a giant toad sat motionless—except for the occasional croaking of frogs.
The ancient city remained unmoved; the croaking sound waves could not shatter its defenses in the slightest, so they rarely came this way anymore.
Its primary target has become vast stretches of blade-like energy.
The blade's edge trembled slightly, but its direction remained the same: the cage of blood rain.
The blood rain continued to recede.
Pei Xiaoling is like that. When faced with a powerful offensive, his counterattack becomes even more domineering and forceful, leaving no room for the opponent to boost morale!
At this moment, Pei Xiaoling was standing at the bow of the level nine warship, confronting the Poison Toad Ancestor, who was also within the protection range of the Blood Rain.
Both sides made a huge show of it, but it's unclear how long the stalemate will last.
There aren't even that many tricks involved—
No, it's not that there are no techniques; rather, the incredibly brilliant "demonstration" of the Heavenly Realm experts contained a great many combat techniques, but Zhong Cai, at his current level, simply couldn't understand them.
Thinking of this, Zhong Cai couldn't help but nudge Wu Shaogan.
[Old Wu, how much of this do you understand?]
Wu Shaogan snapped out of his daze and subconsciously grasped Zhong Cai's fingers.
[Within the Blood Rain Cage, I saw about three or four secret techniques combined, and I discerned roughly fifteen different approaches contained within the blade's aura.]
Zhong Cai gasped.
【so much! 】
Wu Shao chuckled dryly.
This is far from all.
Zhong Cai's eyes widened.
Is it still "far away"?
He knew that it was true that he couldn't see everything, but it was a bit scary that he couldn't see anything "from a distance"!
The Heavenly Realm... So this is what the Heavenly Realm is like!
For a moment, Zhong Cai couldn't help but feel a little longing for it.
"Old Wu, when do you think we'll finally reach an agreement?"
You're definitely faster than me, but I still need to work harder.
Wu Shaogan's gaze was gentle.
If I can truly move faster, it will undoubtedly be thanks to the elixirs that A-Cai concocted for me.
[A-Cai simply spent more time on alchemy, which caused the slight delay.]
Upon hearing this, Zhong Cai realized that it made sense.
He's truly an ordinary little genius in cultivation whose talents have been wasted on alchemy!
Wu Shaogan seemed to sense Zhong Cai's thoughts and couldn't help but smile again.
The couple quickly regained their composure and continued to focus their attention on the battle between the Tongtians.
Wu Shaogan began to explain the "knowledge points" he had seen to Zhong Cai.
"Look, Ah Cai, this time Palace Master Pei unleashed 38,000 strikes. 24,000 of them carried a chilling killing intent, a fierce and unrestrained power like a mountain suppressing the enemy. The remaining 14,000 strikes were auxiliary, primarily for advancing in a continuous, powerful attack."
[The blood rain appeared still, but in fact, the first 30-40% of it absorbed smaller blade beams that connected together, diligently attenuating the fiercely attacking heavy mountain blade beams. The remaining 30-40% of the blade beams at the edges stood upright, slashing at the auxiliary blade beams.]
Because a significant amount of blood rain was used on the auxiliary blade aura, it was completely depleted. Without the propulsion, the Heavy Mountain Blade Aura's advance speed was somewhat slower than before. The remaining blood rain stubbornly resisted, and with insufficient speed, the Heavy Mountain Blade Aura could not quickly advance and could only proceed slowly...
However, during the second wave of blade energy, because the previous heavy mountain blade energy hadn't completely dissipated, this wave increased the output of the auxiliary blade energy, creating a staggering 36,000 piercing blade auras! The destructive power was extremely ferocious.
[The auxiliary blade aura splits into two wings, not only propelling the heavy mountain blade aura but also advancing the air-piercing blade energy from behind.]
[But at this moment, the blood rain clung together, forming countless small, sharp blades that desperately slashed at the Void-Piercing Blade Aura. At the same time, it further damaged the supporting blade aura. In addition, the Heavy Mountain Blade Aura was gradually neutralized, and the Void-Piercing Blade Aura could not withstand the attack alone and also reached its end...]
The third batch of blade auras is...
Zhong Cai listened intently, following Wu Shaogan's instructions to distinguish the flashes of the blades. Sure enough, she noticed some differences and found it fascinating.
Suddenly, two figures appeared beside them.
Zhong Cai turned his head and saw Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing.
Both of them are in good health, especially Wu Dongxiao, who even has a smile on his face.
Zhong Cai didn't speak, but her eyes conveyed a clear meaning.
What do you want to do?
Wu Dongxiao scratched his face and smiled.
Uncle Zhong, when your uncle is giving you pointers, could you take my senior brother and me with you?
Zhong Cai suddenly realized.
This kid realized that Old Wu was giving him pointers about the Great Battle of Tongtian through telepathic communication, so he dragged his senior brother over to apply to join the group chat.
Zhong Cai looked at Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly.
[Ah Cai can make the decision.]
Zhong Cai then made the decision and nodded in agreement.
Alright, hand over your soul.
The next moment, two slender yet resilient strands of soul energy suddenly appeared and joined together with Zhong Cai's soul energy.
Then, Zhong Cai took the two wisps of soul to find his old man, Wu.
Thus, the four-person group chat was successfully set up!
Looking at the current stalemate in the arena, Wu Shaogan began to explain the flash of sword light that had just appeared.
[The wave of sword light unleashed by Palace Master Pei now numbers 108,000, the most we've seen so far.]
Although the overall light is a blinding white, a closer look reveals a dark red core. This indicates that Palace Master Pei has become enraged, and his attacks are more than twice as powerful as before.
[Look, before, with each wave of sword light, the blood rain retreated by half a zhang to a zhang, but now it has retreated by three zhang, and that's not even the end!]
Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing both stared at the stalemate.
·
When the two of them were watching, they only saw the surface and couldn't discern the details. Even though Wu Dongxiao was the protagonist and very sharp in combat, his level was still far too low, so he could only see a few relatively specific shadows of swordsmanship very occasionally.
Regarding the Blood Rain Cage... Wu Dongxiao couldn't discern the specifics, only knowing that it likely combined multiple secret techniques. A closer look would send chills down one's spine.
Wu Dongxiao felt that it wasn't very useful, so he looked away, and just then he caught a glimpse of his two uncles!
Although the two of them didn't talk much, and it was impossible to tell that they were communicating telepathically, they still liked to praise each other or show affection during their casual conversations!
His expression made it very clear.
Therefore, from the way the two of them looked at each other affectionately, Wu Dongxiao could tell that his Uncle Zhong was once again impressed by his uncle's eloquent talk, and that his admiration was obvious...
No doubt about it, Uncle is explaining it to Uncle Zhong.
Wu Dongxiao is about to join!
It was bright enough, but he wasn't about to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Even though his uncle had given him pointers on fighting strategies in the past, it was never as clear as having someone right in front of him, explaining things in a way that was both clear and direct...
·
The uncle and his nephews, along with Xuan Bingzheng, were watching the battle when a crisp sound of something falling to the ground suddenly rang out from the side.
Zhong Cai instinctively looked up.
At the feet of Ji Zhan, the sect leader, a dense, mountain-like circle of high-grade Xuan stones had already been piled up.
Sect Master Ji Zhan turned to look at Zhong Cai and nodded to him.
[Transformed into energy.]
Zhong Cai indicated that she understood.
This means that the attack is about to begin, and that Sect Master Ji will bear all the costs.
Of course!
He immediately tugged at Wu Shaogan's sleeve.
Wu Shaogan nodded to him.
The two simultaneously channeled their thoughts into the ancient city, causing it to transform all the mystic stones into energy.
It was at this moment that Ji Zhan patted the city wall with both hands and took over the authority to control the artillery fire.
The next instant, hundreds of cannon shots shot out!
It looked like countless shooting stars, which transformed into countless pillars of light.
All the beams of light rushed towards the blood rain cage!
Along with the brilliant flash of the blade.
Yes, Pei Xiaoling also unleashed an even sharper blade of light at this moment.
Each one was incredibly sharp, far surpassing all the previous ones!
This isn't over yet.
The bombardment was incredibly powerful; hundreds of shells flew at once, each exploding the instant it touched the rain of blood.
The Blood Rain Cage was indeed very sturdy; even after hundreds of cannon shots were fired, only some small craters were blasted out.
However, when more artillery fire was directed at the same location, the small crater quickly turned into a large crater, almost creating a hole several meters in diameter in the rain of blood!
Pei Xiaoling's blade flashed in at that moment.
Following that large hole, they broke through more defenses and rushed straight into the deeper parts!
All of this happened too fast. At that moment, tens of thousands of Pei Xiaoling's sword lights suddenly converged into one.
It was like a long sword that could pierce through the heavens and the earth, slashing down on the giant blood-red toad!
The venomous gaze of the Poison Toad Ancestor was never concealed.
He opened his mouth and spat out a jet of black water.
The moment the water column appeared, it transformed into a vast curtain of water.
A curtain of water blocked out the sun and blocked the way for the Poisonous Toad Ancestor.
The massive blade of light had just begun to slash at the water curtain.
It got stuck.
The front end was clearly cut into the water curtain, but it seemed to be stuck to something sticky.
Although the blade wanted to go further, it was completely unsuccessful.
It stuck there firmly.
·
Zhong Cai's lips twitched.
[Old Wu, what is that sticky stuff you're talking about?]
After a moment's thought, Wu Shaogan gave his answer.
[It's probably the toxins produced by the Poison Toad Ancestor himself, or perhaps it's an ability inherent in his original toad form.]
