Chapter 209 The Key Battle
Everyone nodded and had no objection to this arrangement. Indeed, disciples below the Nascent Soul stage would not only be unable to participate in the battle if they stayed, but their lives would also be in danger. Instead, they might as well go and collect some resources instead.
Zhong Linger paused and continued, "We need people above the Nascent Soul stage to stay here. The heads of the sects and families are welcome to stay. I also need 20 groups of sword cultivators who know the 'Northern Dipper Seven Killing Formation', four groups from each state. The divine beasts of each sect can be sent to protect the disciples, but there is no need to stay. If everyone has no objection, rest today and gather at noon tomorrow."
No one said anything more, and each state went to discuss the matter on its own.
Zhong Ling'er pulled her master's sleeve and came to the front of the formation, "Master, take two divine thunder talismans and stick them on the wall of the formation to intimidate the demon inside."
"Where is the divine thunder talisman in your hand?"
Taoist Wu Chen held his pockets tightly. He didn't have many divine thunder talismans left. He wanted his young disciple to draw one last time but failed. He decided to save some if he could. His young disciple already had some.
Zhong Ling'er blinked her innocent eyes and said, "Master, I will draw for you when we get back. Don't feel bad."
She had finally managed to get two cards from her master, and she was reluctant to use them carelessly.
The master and the disciple stared at each other in surprise. Finally, Master Wu Chen was defeated. He used his spiritual power to activate two divine thunder talismans and casually stuck them on the wall of the formation. Countless purple thunder dragons flashed in the void and kept swimming along the wall of the formation. The painful roars of monsters continued to be heard from inside the formation.
When the purple divine thunder cooperated with the operation of the formation, it did not strike down directly, but turned into tiny lightning that flashed on the wall of the formation. It did not have a huge power, but lasted for a long time. The crackling sound of thunder and lightning, accompanied by bursts of Sanskrit sounds, mixed with the roars of monsters, was truly a wonderful lullaby that allowed Zhong Ling'er to sleep well.
Compared with Zhong Ling'er's comfort, Master Tianming had a headache all night. When they met again the next day, his eyes were dark circles and his mind seemed to be mostly exhausted.
The others found it strange. The noise last night was a little annoying, but it wasn't enough to make people like this.
Most of the people had left early in the morning, leaving only Zhong Ling'er behind.
So Zhong Ling'er took out a bag of jade talismans and asked everyone to take one, while she began to talk about her battle plan.
"Yesterday I introduced the Purple Sky Divine Thunder into the formation. It should take two days for it to dissipate. During these two days, the monsters dare not touch the formation wall. It will take them at least seven days to break the formation wall, so I estimate that we have ten days to eliminate the monsters and the demons inside."
"After entering, Patriarch Xuanyuan will lead my master and others to clear the way with sword formations. Master Hu and I will set up a magic sealing formation and clear out some monsters every once in a while. If we encounter a celestial demon, if there is only one, Patriarch Xuanyuan and the other seven will deal with it. If there are more than two, twenty-one groups of sword formations will form a circle to trap the celestial demon, and the rest will be responsible for protecting Master Hu and me as we retreat."
"retreat?"
Tianming Zhenren let out a strange cry, then immediately reacted and said, "How can we retreat so easily? We should find a way to destroy the demon."
"If you can beat them, of course you fight. If you can't, you have to run. Isn't that normal? Anyway, this formation has been broken, and there is another big formation outside. There is no need to fight to the death."
Immortal Wu Chen immediately said, "Yes, Ling'er is right. If you are still alive, you can still find a way. If you are dead, everything is over. I will listen to Ling'er."
The master and the disciple smiled at each other, while the others turned their heads away with twitching lips.
I know you have a good master-disciple relationship, but you don’t have to spoil each other too much!
Holding the jade talisman, everyone entered the formation. It was a clear sky outside, but it was pitch black inside the formation, as if they had suddenly entered night from day, making it difficult for people to adapt for a while.
Due to the influence of Zhong Ling'er's divine thunder talisman, no monster dared to approach the array wall, so what greeted everyone was not only darkness, but also pairs of eyes flashing red light.
Zhong Ling'er was quite excited. This was the feeling she had when she visited a haunted house in her previous life.
Monsters swarmed in, and the black mist seemed to have life, flowing rapidly in the air, pouncing towards everyone with their fangs and claws.
Pavilion Master Xuanyuan shouted, "The sword formation begins!"
The seven slender swords of the Seven Swordsmen cleared the way and flew across the sky. Seven-colored rays of light shot up into the sky. The dazzling sword light made the monster's eyes see nothing but white. The sword energy was like falling stars. A powerful pressure enveloped everything. The diffuse sword light was like thousands of troops, full of murderous aura, and fell on the monster with irresistible force.
The terrifying sound and violent vibrations terrified the people who followed behind. Such a powerful sound made them feel like the end of the world had come.
"roar!"
The intense pain caused the monsters to roar, and the sound echoed in the formation. However, no matter how tragic the roar was, it could not alleviate their suffering. Cracks appeared on the bodies of the monsters that surged up, and then their bodies broke apart and turned into demonic energy that dissipated in the air.
With just one sword from the seven men, dozens of monsters that had combined into one body turned into demonic energy, and they could not gather together in a short time.
Everyone was stunned.
The seven sword cultivators had never expected that their swords would have such terrifying power. Among them there was a powerful cultivator who had crossed the tribulation barrier, but he found that even with the strength of a cultivator who had crossed the tribulation barrier, it was still difficult to contend with the power of this sword.
The people following behind were also stunned. Those who knew this sword formation were filled with passion. It turned out that their cultivation was too low and they could not bring out the true power of the sword formation. Only by becoming stronger would they be qualified to truly control this sword formation.
People like Tianming Zhenren who failed to learn this technique were jealous and resentful. They wondered why they were not chosen by Zhong Ling'er and how come such a heaven-defying technique did not fall into their hands.
Zhong Ling'er was also stunned. The power of the sword formation was very strong, beyond her expectations, but the place seemed to have become even darker.
"The smog here is really heavy. The demons are too polluting and must be killed. Protecting the green mountains and clear waters is everyone's responsibility."
Everyone came to their senses and looked at Zhong Ling'er. They had heard it but didn't understand. They only knew that they wanted to kill the demon, but what the hell was polluting the environment?
Zhong Ling'er also came back to her senses, laughed and said, "I mean the demonic energy here is too strong, it's easy for cultivators to be infected by the demonic energy here."
Bai Luochen patted the little sister's head and asked, "What should we do next? Should we continue to move forward?"
Zhong Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "You guys move forward. I'll set up a magic sealing formation here to clear out the evil spirits. Otherwise, everyone will be in trouble."
The monks in front of the Taiqiong Mirror only came to their senses now.
"Oh my god, that sword move was so amazing. I suddenly felt full of confidence in this battle."
"Of course, I have always been confident. Junior Sister may be small, but she is always reliable."
"Am I the only one who thinks that Junior Sister's formation is amazing? There is a world of difference between the inside and outside of the formation. She said she is a fifth-grade formation master, but she can draw the diagram of an eighth-grade formation. What do you think of her attainments in formation?"
