Chapter 190 Siege (Additional updates, please give me a monthly ticket)
The gate of the Five Elements Sect is located at the Five Fingers Peak.
The Five Fingers Peak is just as its name suggests, like a palm with five fingers spread out towards the sky, and each finger is a different mountain.
Because of its unique terrain, it not only gave birth to a third-order spiritual vein, but also had a "Five Elements Evil Point" on the palm. Therefore, it was favored by the first generation of Five Elements Patriarch and was used as the gate of the Five Elements Sect.
In order to seize this spiritual vein, they forcibly cut down mountains and destroyed temples, and exterminated several Taoist sects that originally occupied the Five Finger Peak.
The atmosphere at the Five Finger Peaks is now extremely solemn. Above the five peaks, a beam of light of a different color rises into the sky.
White, red, black, yellow, green...
The five colors gathered together, like a canopy, guarding the entire Five Fingers Peak firmly.
…
Several miles away in the sky, five spirit ships stood majestically.
At the front of the deck, three figures were faintly standing.
"Tsk tsk... This Five Finger Peak is indeed worthy of its reputation... Due to its topography, it is particularly suitable for setting up the Five Elements Formation."
Fang Xing couldn't help but sigh when he saw the colorful formation.
"Sword Master, this is the fundamental formation of the Five Elements Sect - the 'Five Elements Returning to Origin Formation', which is ranked as the third-grade upper grade. The power of the five elements is endless. As long as you break the formation once without breaking its limit, it will slowly repair itself afterwards. It is extremely difficult to deal with."
The old Taoist priest Wu Xuan said in a flattering manner.
"So powerful... It's a pity that we didn't bring a third-level formation master this time. It seems that we can only break the formation by force?"
Fang Xing was quite emotional.
Taoist Wu Xuan and Taoist Lu Yi looked at each other, both of them were unsure of what Fang Xing was up to.
They headed straight for the Five Elements Sect, and along the way they encountered several second-tier markets and foundation-building families that they did not have time to destroy.
If we delay here for too long and our retreat is cut off, it will be extremely dangerous!
"Not having a formation master doesn't matter much... As long as we have a few third-level forbidden-breaking talismans or third-level earth vein beads, we can temporarily weaken the power of the formation by several times, causing a flaw in the formation... Then, if we work together, we may be able to break the formation."
Master Luyi asked tentatively.
"No need! Master Luyi, lead five hundred monks to form the Five Elements Sword Formation and test the formation carefully."
Fang Xing flicked his fingers and said, "Wu Xuan, lead the rest of the monks to set up camp and wait for orders!"
"yes!"
The two great monks obeyed the order with awe, and True Man Luyi immediately flew out with five hundred monks.
"Five Elements Sword Formation, start!"
Five hundred monks worked together, and streams of five elements magic power passed through the formation, gathered by the formation flags, and fell into the hands of Lu Yi Zhenren, the formation master, and turned into a colorful sword.
With a sword in hand! The power of Master Lv Yi instantly rose from the level of a fake pill to the level of a pill.
"go!"
She knew that this battle was mainly a test, so she formed a seal with one hand, and a small emerald green flower magic weapon fell on her head, blooming a layer of emerald light curtain, protecting her firmly.
Then, he slashed out with his sword! The five-colored long sword instantly became extremely huge, dozens of feet long, and pierced into the Five Elements Return to Origin Formation.
The formation stirred up a wave, and the power of the five elements continued to flow, endlessly dissolving this third-level attack.
A young man wearing white clothes and a colorful lotus crown on his head emerged from the formation.
His cultivation had reached the early stage of Jindan, and he was none other than the 'Master Huo Yu'. He shouted, "My Five Elements Sect has always been neutral... Don't fall for their evil plan!"
"If it's a misunderstanding, why don't you open the formation... and let us in?"
Master Luyi smiled gently and activated her magic power again.
One after another, the five elements sword energy fell into the formation, like colorful dragons, causing waves in the formation.
"It seems that it won't work..."
Fang Xing looked at the cultivator in the early Jindan stage and found that the other party had no intention of coming out to fight. He couldn't help but shook his head with some regret.
After hearing this, the old Taoist priest Wu Xuan, who was directing the construction of a temporary camp nearby, was speechless.
The battle record of this Fang Zhenchuan has long been known among the five sects and ten countries. It is said that he has the combat power of the third level. Ordinary fake Dan Zhenren are no match for him with just one sword. Even cultivators in the early stage of Jindan have died at his hands.
The ancestor of the Five Elements Sect is also in the early stage of Jindan. How dare he go out of the mountain gate to fight?
"There should be only two Jindan cultivators in the Five Elements Sect. One is the Five Elements Patriarch who is in the middle Jindan stage, and the other is this person, who is in the early Jindan stage. If he dares to leave the sect, I will kill him with one sword... What a pity, what a pity..."
Fang Xing shook his head repeatedly and said to Wu Xuan: "In that case, you can take five flying ships to help Lu Yi."
"yes!"
Taoist Wu Xuan hurried down to pass the order, and soon five flying ships took off one by one and bombarded the Five Elements Peak formation.
This kind of stalemate will continuously consume the formation's foundation and spiritual energy.
When it is no longer possible to recover, it is time to truly break the formation! But this time is often very long.
While Wu Xuan ordered his disciples to cooperate in the attack, he quietly sent a message to Master Lv Yi: "What does this swordsman mean? Are you going to abandon us?"
After all, among these more than a thousand cultivators, there are less than twenty who actually belong to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and most of the others are cultivators from the Zheng State! "It shouldn't be that bad..."
Master Lu Yi gritted her teeth secretly.
This time, her Qingxuan Sect has sent the most people. If they capsize here, the losses will be extremely heavy.
When she thought of this, she and Taoist Wu Xuan looked at each other, and both ordered their disciples to go and consume the energy without going deeper into the formation.
In a war of attrition like this, which only uses magic to bombard the formation, the Five Elements Sect can at least last for several years! When Fang Xing saw this scene, he did not supervise the battle or order them to go all out.
His plan was simple, which was to "besiege a point and attack the reinforcements"! Theoretically, now that they were alone in the deep, it would be best to try their best to quickly capture the Five Elements Sect, and then use the Five Elements Sect's mountain gate as the foundation to establish a large formation.
Among the supplies distributed by the Tianjian Sect this time, there is a set of third-level formation flags and formation plates. With the help of third-level spiritual veins, a super-large formation can be arranged, which can barely hold out even if it encounters siege by Jindan cultivators.
Instead of standing still like now.
However, Fang Xing's ability to safely perform the 'siege and attack' strategy is based on his own strong strength.
If it were someone with slightly less strength, he would definitely be strangled by the coalition and become a well-known idiot in the world of immortal cultivation!
Half an hour later...
Fang Xing yawned and looked at the five flying ships and battle formations that were still bombarding: "That's enough, come back..."
This kind of attack in which both sides hid in the big formation, even if it lasted for more than half an hour, not a single Qi training disciple on either side was killed or injured! After Fang Xing gave the order, these cultivators immediately returned and fell into the camp one after another, taking out the spirit stones to meditate and practice, absorbing the spiritual energy from them and restoring their mana.
——Without spiritual veins in the outside world, it is difficult to quickly recover magic power, so one can only absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stones. Although it is a bit wasteful, there is no other way.
Otherwise, once most of your magic power is consumed in a dangerous place, it will be too late to regret when you encounter danger again.
…
Inside the Five Finger Peaks, on the middlemost "middle finger".
The Jindan early stage cultivator wearing the multicolored lotus crown also sighed when he saw this scene: "You all go back and do your respective duties... Double the number of disciples patrolling every day, and be sure to be careful and cautious."
After giving the instructions, Master Huo Yu returned to his own cave, and suddenly made a hand seal and muttered something.
Bang! In front of him, on the empty mat, a colorful rune light curtain suddenly appeared.
A big hole appeared in the light curtain in an instant and then disappeared.
An old man with a rough appearance, wild hair and beard, like a white-haired lion, was sitting cross-legged on a cushion.
“Senior Brother!”
Master Huo Yu bowed with a smile on his face.
The old man sitting cross-legged was the Five Elements Sect's supreme elder - the Five Elements Patriarch!
But no one knows how he, who according to intelligence had already gone to support the Musha Sect, could secretly return to the sect.
"Hehe...Which detachment of troops has arrived today?"
The Five Elements Patriarch spoke in a voice like thunder: "The 'Anthropomorphic Puppet Mask' provided by the Wanxiang Sect is really useful. It can completely simulate my soul and magical aura... This time, we must make the Tianjian Sect suffer a great loss. Who is the enemy leader?"
When Master Huo Yu mentioned this, his tone was a little strange: "The two people leading the troops today are Qingxuan Sect's fake Dan and Heitian Temple's abbot..."
This configuration looks like a ragtag cannon fodder army no matter how you look at it.
"The only commander is Fang Xing, the disciple of the Tianjian Sect who has recently gained fame in Zheng State! If my senior brother and I join forces, we should be able to kill him easily."
Master Huo Yu still thinks highly of Fang Xing.
It’s just that Fang Xing’s record was so horrific that it seemed fake in the end.
He believed that a foundation-building cultivator could rely on certain means to be comparable to or even kill the fake elixir.
But what about killing Lian Laogui who was in the early stage of Jindan?
He suspected that it might be Fu Hongyi's secret trick.
However, even if Fang Xing was as powerful as the rumors said, he and his senior brother would have no chance of survival if they just built their foundation! The Five Elements Patriarch glared at his junior brother and said, "Old Lian once thought the same, but he died! Not only did he die, but even his sect was destroyed. He lost miserably and became a laughing stock for the world!"
Wearing a five-colored lotus crown, Master Huo Yu suddenly said in awe: "Brother... I was wrong."
"No, you don't know you're wrong, you're just afraid of me..."
The Five Elements Patriarch shook his head. His junior fellow apprentice was a genius in the sect and had grown up too smoothly.
To put it nicely, this kind of mentality is to be fearless and fearless, but it is easy to become devastated when faced with even the slightest setback.
"How can we, the Jindan forces, imagine the foundation of a Nascent Soul sect? Even if we can kill the Tianjian Sect's true disciple and then attract the Tianjian Sect's army's attention, and fight to the death... wouldn't that just be a disaster for the Xuehe Palace and the Musha Sect?"
The Five Elements Patriarch shook his head.
"So what are you preparing for, brother?"
"Of course... I'll invite another person. There happens to be a fellow Daoist who is in the Jindan stage nearby in the Wanxiang Sect... He was a true disciple back then, and his status is the same as Jianzi's, but he actually advanced to the Jindan stage..."
The Five Elements Patriarch said: "When the time comes, we will invite this person, and the three of us who have reached the Jindan stage will attack together. We must use the force of a mountain crushing an egg to completely defeat this large army..."
"I wonder... who is the true disciple of the Wanxiang Sect?" Taoist Master Huo Yu was a little curious.
"Thunder Department—Lei Jingmeng!"
The Five Elements Patriarch took out a mirror from his arms and cast a magical power on it.
The mirror blurred, revealing the figure of a young man in a thunder robe.
"Five Elements Ancestor? What's going on... Is there something wrong with the 'Returning Qi Pill' I sent you?"
Lei Jingmeng had a handsome face and a purple mark between his eyebrows, like a forked bolt of thunder, giving him a sense of majestic power.
When Master Huo Yu heard this, he was immediately shocked: "I was wondering why Senior Brother changed our sect's previous neutral policy and chose to join the Wanxiang Sect... It turns out that he was promised such a benefit. Guiqi Pill is a panacea that helps break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Jindan and advance to the late stage of Jindan..."
"Haha, Brother Lei, you are joking... The 'Returning Qi Pill' is not easy to refine. It requires several years of seclusion and hard practice. Now I don't have the spare time for that..."
The Five Elements Patriarch said, "I wonder if you are interested in the Heavenly Sword Sect's true teachings on foundation building? Our sect was besieged by the Heavenly Sword Sect's army today, and the leader is Fang Xing..."
"Oh? Is it this person?"
Hearing Fang Xing's name, Lei Jingmeng immediately showed an interested look: "This boy is indeed extremely talented. I am afraid that I am not as good as him when it comes to building the foundation... But I have already formed the elixir. Such a genius must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise after forming the elixir, he will be another Fu Hongyi!"
"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to help?"
The Five Elements Patriarch was overjoyed.
"If it was anyone else, it would be fine, but this boy is also related to the disappearance of a Fengmai messenger... The sect has already offered a reward, so we can take it all together."
Lei Jingmeng smiled and said, "But if you want me to take action, the Five Elements Sect will have to give me some benefits. I heard that there is half a piece of 'Meteorite Dream Thunder Crystal' in the Five Elements Sect's treasury..."
"After the matter is completed, I will present the Meteorite Dream Thunder Crystal to you with both hands!"
The Five Elements Patriarch did not hesitate, knowing that this was the character of the Demon.
Even during the great war between good and evil, even if the opponent was the Tianjian Sect.
Without enough benefits, he still won't make a move! "Deal!"
A smile appeared on Lei Jingmeng's face.
…
Two days later.
night.
Fang Xing stood silently on a small hill, gazing at the moonlight.
"General..."
Lu Yi and Wu Xuan stood behind him, both with a trace of trepidation on their faces: "We have been working hard to attack the formation these days. Although there have been no casualties, a lot of spiritual stones and other supplies have been lost... The cultivators below have some complaints."
"What are you talking about? No one has died yet, and you dare to complain?"
Fang Xing turned around with a sneer on his face: "This is wartime, and we are following military law... Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will not only die, but also the entire sect, disciples, and relatives behind him will die! Just spread this message, and anyone who disagrees can come to me!"
As soon as these words came out, Master Luyi and Wu Xuan couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
In fact, the greatest dissatisfaction definitely comes from their two major forces.
At this time, he also wanted to test Fang Xing, but he was rejected so forcefully.
Just when the two were feeling anxious, Fang Xing showed a hint of joy on his face: "Finally here!"
"What's coming?"
Just as a trace of doubt appeared on Wu Xuan's face, he saw two beams of Jindan light flying out from the Five Elements Sect.
One of them had reached the peak of the middle stage of the Jindan period, bringing terrifying pressure!
"Ancestor of the Five Elements?" He was immediately scared to death.
“Haha… Today we are only going to kill the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect, not the cultivators. Kneel down and beg for mercy immediately, and I will spare your life!”
The rough laughter of the Five Elements Patriarch resounded throughout the temporary camp. Countless Qi-cultivating monks who were meditating showed fear on their faces, their magic power went astray, and they spit out blood.
At the back of the camp, a flash of lightning appeared. It turned out to be another cultivator in the early stage of Jindan! In fact, his momentum was no less than that of the Five Elements Patriarch. He surrounded the hill and said, "Where is Fang Xing? I am Lei Jingmeng from the Thunder Department of Wanxiang Sect... Come out and die!"
Lei Jingmeng's voice was like thunder, rolling over.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Yi immediately clasped her hands together, and a flower-shaped magic weapon emerged, protecting her whole body.
Wu Xuan affixed a third-level defensive talisman to his body and fled for his life: "Seniors, please spare my life. I am willing to give up the dark..."
Swoosh! A flash of sword light passed by, and the sword thread directly cut through the defense of the third-level talisman and cut off the head of Taoist Wu Xuan.
"…surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"
The sword light was too fast, and Taoist Wu Xuan's head was still saying the last two words before it fell to the ground and rolled several times.
"Who says that old people become smarter? This is the first time I've seen such an idiotic choice."
Fang Xing held the rotten iron sword in his hand, his figure turned into sword light, and he rushed straight into the sky: "One middle stage of Jindan, two early stage of Jindan... leave them all to me, Luyi, you go and command the Taoist soldiers and prepare to meet the enemy!"
These three Jindan monks are only high-end combat forces. There must be a large army of the Five Elements Sect and even fake Dan Zhenren behind them! (End of this chapter)
