Chapter 227: Big Power Showdown
The sky was dark, and the clouds were blowing fast.
It was a good night to kill.
The inner city wall of Qiuzhou Prefecture is 150 feet high and is made of blue and white iron stones weighing 10,000 pounds. On top of it, the horse path is 40 feet wide, with a platform every 30 feet and a building every 5 miles.
Led by Zuoqiu Ting, the four of them climbed up the three-story tower and enjoyed the view of the inner and outer cities in the eager evening breeze.
…
The stronghold of the Lei Xiao Sect, Lei Chi Zhai, is located on a low hill in the outer city of East City.
Taoist temple-style buildings are scattered all over the mountain, covering an area of dozens of acres.
On the top of the hill, there is a nine-story purple tower, with lightning flashing and electric birds flying around, making it extremely eye-catching.
“Wow!”
A young great mind master from the court, with a spiritual light shining from his brow, used the art of taming beasts to control a several-meter-long black-feathered beast with thunder and black ice on its back, and attacked from mid-air, trying to destroy the formation.
A golden feather arrow a meter long was shot out from a square in Lei Chi Zhai, killing the black-feathered beast in the void, turning it into blood mist and residual feathers.
“Boom!”
The black ice of thunder fell and hit the ground.
An area of dozens of feet in radius was razed to the ground.
Lu Cangsheng, wearing a black robe, stood on the top of the tallest building below the nine-story formation tower, observing the situation below the mountain and issuing orders.
Then, the heavy crossbow of the Hundred Characters Scripture on the square turned around and shot out another golden feather arrow that was ten feet long. The feather arrow was like a golden meteor, cutting through the night sky and hitting a great mind master of the Disaster Fire Realm in the imperial court five miles away.
The great mind master's body exploded instantly, leaving no intact piece of flesh and blood.
The battle was stalemate with one attacking and the other defending.
The court's next wave of offensive was even more fierce.
Eight magical chariots attacked in a mighty manner from eight different directions, from the sky and the ground.
The chariots sped along, the air vibrated, and the entire city was shaking.
“Wow!”
In the Lei Chi Zhai, the nine-story formation tower expanded violently, its height increased tenfold, and turned into a thousand-meter-high purple mountain, covering the land for several miles and destroying all eight chariots.
All the thunder and black ice in the car were activated and transformed into eight seas of thunder and released.
Lightning flashed continuously in East City, some shooting straight into the clouds, some crossing the void.
This large-scale martial arts showdown was comparable to a battle on a battlefield, and the destructive power it unleashed had already surpassed the level of the Five Seas Realm.
…
On the third tower of the inner city wall, Qi Xiao looked around and then looked at the invitation card in his hand: "Sixty percent of the top martial artists in the court have arrived. Many first-, second-, and third-class figures have already appeared, but after fighting for half an hour, they can't break the defense of Lei Chi Zhai."
Shi Shi said: "Lu Cangsheng's tortoise shell magic skill can be called the best in the world!"
Zuo Qiuting put one hand behind his back, with an elegant demeanor, and said with a smile: "In terms of defense, no one in the younger generation can compare to Lu Cangsheng. Moreover, the Lei Xiao Sect understands the thunder method and profound ice better than any other force, so they naturally know how to resist and how to detonate in advance."
Li Weiyi was wearing a black Taoist robe and a wooden hairpin to hold his hair together. He looked handsome and mysterious with a sense of relaxation. "That formation tower is not simple. The energy that just burst out was so strong that it seemed that Ge Xiantong would have to fight it off himself. Was it set up by a formation master below the spiritual master?"
Zuo Qiuting said, "The Thunder Sect sent ten young generation Great Mind Masters of the Disaster Fire Realm to the capital of Qiuzhou. They used the fourth-grade Hundred-Character Scripture Artifact Thunder Tower as the formation base. It took them three months to set up this nine-story formation tower. Its defense is far stronger than the formations set up by ordinary spiritual mind masters in a short period of time."
The Hundred-Character Sutra instrument has different powers depending on the number of sutras engraved inside, and can be divided into nine grades.
A scripture with one hundred to two hundred words is called a "first-grade hundred-word scripture instrument."
Two hundred to three hundred words are called "second grade".
Three hundred to four hundred words are called "three grades".
…
On the Lei Chi Zhai Square, the heavy crossbow wrapped in a cloud of Dharma energy and with more than a hundred scriptures flashing on its surface is a first-grade Dharma weapon with a hundred-character scriptures.
Li Weiyi didn't know much about the magic tools and war attacks and defenses in this world, so he asked, "The Lei Xiao Sect can use the fourth-grade Hundred Words Scripture Magic Tool, so why doesn't the court use the fifth-grade or sixth-grade Hundred Words Scripture Magic Tool? Or even the Thousand Words Scripture Magic Tool?"
Qi Xiao laughed and said, "Brother Weiyi, we are Wuhai Realm martial artists. With the grade and amount of the magical energy in our bodies, it is difficult to effectively activate the Hundred-Character Scripture magical instrument."
“Only top martial artists who have cultivated the sixth-level Qi can fully unleash the power of the first-grade Hundred-Character Scripture Instrument.”
"A second-grade Hundred-Character Scripture Artifact. With my cultivation level, I can only activate a portion of its power, estimated to be 60% to 70%. "
"The higher the grade, the harder it is to activate. The power can indeed be stronger, but only to a limited extent."
"For example, if I hold a fourth-grade Hundred-Character Scripture Sword, I can only exert 10% to 20% of its power. I can improve my combat power a little bit, and have a chance to challenge the inheritor."
"Give me a Thousand Words Scripture artifact, and I will compete with the inheritor."
"But what if they get robbed?"
"My Qi family, a powerful family with millions of people and a wealthy family in Lizhou, only has three Thousand Words Scripture instruments, and each one is a treasure that protects the family."
"Is it worth it to turn myself into a fat sheep just for this little boost in combat power?"
"Moreover, with our Five Sea Realm cultivation, it takes a lot of time to activate high-grade magic tools. You might have been beheaded by someone before you even activated the magic tool, just like Hua Yuzi."
"In a personal fight, it is best to use a magical weapon that suits you best."
"The clash between major forces requires heavy weapons and large formations."
"The fourth-grade Thunder Tower and nine great formations of the Leixiao Sect were activated by ten great mind masters of the Disaster Fire Realm and a large number of great mind masters of the Earth Fire Realm and Sky Fire Realm. Only then did they exert their peak power and transform into a thousand-meter-high formation mountain. The consumption of mind power is definitely not small."
Zuo Qiuting said, "The imperial court's thunder magic and profound ice have been almost used up, and they should be activating the high-grade Hundred-Character Scripture artifact soon. Look, the imperial court's Five Sea Realm martial artists are gathering on a large scale."
Qi Xiao asked, "Master Ting, when we attack the governor's mansion and the headquarters of the Far West Ashes, what level of magic weapon are we going to activate?"
"Keep it secret for now." Zuo Qiu paused.
Li Weiyi pondered secretly about the grades of several magic weapons he had as trump cards.
The "corpse soft armor" he wore next to his body should be of the lowest grade and would not reach the level of a Thousand Words Scripture instrument. Because he was in the Spring Realm, he could activate the faint blood-colored scripture and exert some of its power.
"Ghost Flag", he was temporarily unable to detect the scriptures inside, and it was obviously of a higher grade.
The Ghost Flag’s most important means of attack are the power of ice and the ghost generals sealed inside.
The "Evil Camel Bell" should be the first important weapon that involves the forbidden figure Yu Tuonan, and he dare not expose it at all.
The "Black Iron Seal" was mentioned by Master Coffin before. It is a treasure of the Lei Xiao Sect and can be used in life-and-death situations.
Li Weiyi felt that he was the fat sheep that Qi Xiao mentioned. If he took out the black iron seal and used it, his combat power would definitely be greatly improved, and beating the inheritor would not be a problem. But after the Qianlong Lantern Festival, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.
The Yellow Dragon Sword is actually his most handy magical weapon. As he grows, its power becomes stronger and stronger. It seems like it was tailor-made for him and can perfectly unleash his strength.
Li Weiyi pondered in his heart whether he should find a few more martial arts masters to activate the black iron seal together and give Luan Sheng Lin You a fierce blow at the critical moment.
“Crash!”
A wave of magical arrows rose in the night, like a bright galaxy flying towards Lei Chi Zhai.
at the same time.
The Five Seas Realm martial artists of the imperial court have assembled on the streets.
Led by the nine Seventh Sea Realm martial artists, nearly a hundred Five Sea Realm martial artists worked together to release magical energy and injected it into a tripod-shaped magical instrument with a hundred-character scripture.
A crimson light burst out from the surface of the tripod-shaped magic weapon, and it flew up from the ground while spinning.
Getting bigger and brighter.
After rising ten feet into the air, the cauldron turned into the size of a house, flames burning, and five hundred and thirty-five scriptures flashed on the cauldron, illuminating the entire East City.
The dark clouds in the sky were illuminated into a crimson red by the light of the tripod.
“Swish!”
In the Lei Chi Zhai, a golden crossbow arrow a meter long flew out.
The sound of breaking through the air was as loud as thunder.
The tripod-shaped magic weapon just shook slightly, the air was stirred, countless scriptures flew out, and energy exploded, breaking the crossbow arrow into several pieces.
The tripod-shaped magic weapon rose into the air, releasing tremendous power, as bright as a scorching sun.
"Use all your strength to activate the formation tower." Lu Cangsheng shouted.
“Boom!”
The nine-layered formation tower once again transformed into a thousand-meter-high purple lightning mountain and collided with the tripod-shaped magic weapon.
The hill where Lei Chi Zhai was located shook violently, some buildings collapsed, and cracks appeared on the mountain.
Fortunately, the attack was withstood and the formation was not broken.
Qi Xiao said: "The court is generous! In war, people are the ones fighting. The more martial artists there are, the stronger the magic weapons they can activate, and the deeper their foundation. The gap in strength between the two sides is huge. Lei Chi Zhai's formation will be broken sooner or later. Once the formation is broken, the battle will probably be one-sided!"
"The Leixiao Sect is not weak. After all, they were once the rulers of the Lingxiao habitat. If the imperial court wants to take them down, the price it will pay will definitely be high." Shi Shi said.
Zuo Qiuting nodded: "Knowing that the imperial court troops led by Ge Xiantong were coming to East City, Lu Cangsheng did not immediately flee the city and give up the Qianlong Lantern Festival. It can be seen that he must have something to rely on."
Li Weiyi smiled and said, "Perhaps Lu Cangsheng guessed that Zuoqiu Menting would definitely help."
"I think he just can't bear to part with the ticket for the elixir of immortality in his hand!" Qi Xiao said.
Shi Shishi said: "That's the elixir of immortality, who would be willing to give it up?"
“Wow!”
Nearly a hundred more Five Seas Realm martial artists from the imperial court activated a hammer-shaped fifth-grade magical instrument containing the Hundred-Character Scripture, which rose from another city area and attacked Lei Chi Zhai.
…
…………
A terrifying and heart-pounding aura came from the direction of the inner city.
I saw a silver shuttle-shaped magical weapon falling straight down from the clouds, with countless scriptures rotating around it.
It was unstoppable, breaking through the defensive formation of the Longmen stronghold, smashing into the ground and raising thick dust.
“Boom!”
The powerful shock force spread across more than ten miles and reached the city wall.
Zuoqiu Ting, Li Weiyi and three others immediately looked over.
The Longmen stronghold was the residence of an ancient giant in the realm of immortality. It covered a vast area and had strong defenses. However, it was suppressed by the Jie character. Under the attack of the silver shuttle, all the defense formations collapsed and the buildings in the residence collapsed in large pieces.
The ones attacking Longmen were from the Ashes Region in the Far West.
The silver shuttle-shaped magic weapon just now was activated by more than two hundred martial artists in the Five Seas Realm.
They are numerous and powerful, coming from different forces, and each of them is a leader among men.
Luan Sheng Lin You stood on the top of a high-rise building hundreds of meters away from the Longmen stronghold, his long hair swaying in the wind. He gracefully reached out his hand into the void, took back the silver shuttle-shaped magic weapon, and suspended it in his palm.
“Wow!”
The silver shuttle-shaped magic weapon melted and turned into a liquid silver mask, which he put on his face. He then ordered an attack on Longmen, leaving no one alive.
