Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 700 The Second Line of Defense ([-])
Tang Ning was assigned to the second brigade directly under the third brigade, and he was assigned here with more than a dozen monks who fled from other columns.

Huang Yuan, the captain of the third team directly under him, is a man in his thirties, with an initial stage of Yuanying cultivation.

Under his command, everyone returned to their respective positions and stood by for orders.

.........

In the gray fog, a small team of monks from the Mubei Third Army Corps was slowly moving around the blood baby.

Suddenly, there was a faint rumbling sound, and everyone paused their steps and stared at it, only to see a faint light shooting from the smog in the sky ahead.

"Be careful, it's a warship from Xuanmen." Chi Song frowned and said lightly.

Before the words fell, there was a loud bang, and dozens of shells shot from midair, and fell to the sides of the people and exploded. A huge airflow cloud rose high in the sky, covering the area with a radius of hundreds of miles.

The space was torn apart in the blink of an eye, and the huge black hole continued to spread. In a blink of an eye, everyone jumped out of the central area where the shell exploded.

The overwhelming waves all around rushed towards them, everyone showed their supernatural powers, and all kinds of light burst out in the midair, and the ripples in the space subsided instantly.

The shells came in waves one after another, and the space was torn apart in a large area. Suddenly, a loud roar was heard, and a huge red wolf broke free from the black hole vortex. Nearby a Sky Spirit ship.

The huge crimson wolf claws were raised high, and a bloody ball was condensed in the palm, slapping on the light curtain of the sky spirit ship.

As if mountains were colliding, like great rivers colliding, there was a rumbling sound, and the Tianling boat shook violently.

The moment the huge blood-colored ball touched the light curtain, it turned into countless fine blood threads and intertwined with the runes on the light curtain.
As soon as the rune touched the blood thread, the light shrank suddenly, trembled violently, and shattered after a while.

The light curtain shattered after a burst of distortion.

Just as the giant wolf was about to take a picture, its whole body suddenly turned into a huge ice sculpture, with a radius of a hundred miles, it turned into a field of ice and snow in an instant, and the sky spirit boat was also frozen, and the huge ice slab hung upside down in the air.

In just an instant, the giant wolf broke through the ice, and black flames ignited all over its body, covering a radius of a hundred miles in the blink of an eye. The black flames blended with the ice and snow, engulfing everything.

While the two are facing each other, a colorful picture scroll slowly unfolds in the sky. The houses inside look like fertile fields of mulberry and bamboo. The clothes of men and women are different from those of outsiders. The young and old are happy and happy, looking like a farmhouse and mountain village in a paradise.

The picture scroll is colorful and full of light. As it slowly unfolds, fertile fields of mulberry and bamboo, men and women in the house, emerge out of thin air one by one.

The surrounding world changed in an instant, the sky full of fireworks and ice and snow disappeared without a trace, the red giant wolf stood on the loess, standing on the road in the mountain village, the surrounding houses looked like houses, and children laughed freely.

In the gray fog, a man with a fair complexion clasped his hands together and muttered something. A ten-foot-sized colorful picture scroll unfolded in mid-air. Inside, men and women were plowing and weaving, and children were laughing and running back and forth. It was so lifelike.

The most eye-catching one is a ten-foot-large red wolf standing inside the picture scroll, but its two blood-red eyes are staring straight at the man outside the picture scroll.

The man's incantation stopped, and with a move in his hand, the scroll shot out and spread out in front of him.

I saw his left hand swipe on his right hand, using his hand as a brush, to write vigorously on the scroll, but within a few breaths, many strange runes were carved around the scroll.

As soon as the man made a seal with his hands, those blood-colored runes seemed to come to life, and dense runes surged on the scroll, wrapping around the entire scroll.

With the surge and distribution of the characters, the light of the picture scroll gradually shrunk, and soon completely lost its brilliance. The activities of the characters inside were still there, but there was no color and light, like a faded ink painting.

With a flick of the man's hand, the scroll rolled up automatically, just as he took the shrinking scroll with both hands and was about to put it away.

There was a sudden change, but seeing two blood-red rays of light coming through the scroll, the man was startled, his figure flew back, he folded his palms together, and a blue and blue disk appeared in front of him.

The blood-red light hit the disc without any sound. After the disc trembled for a while, the blood-colored light disappeared.

And that picture scroll has been turned into ashes and wiped out.

The huge body of the scarlet giant wolf suddenly appeared in midair. With a long howl, the surrounding hundreds of miles instantly turned into a sea of ​​blood. The overwhelming sea of ​​blood churned and condensed into a huge vortex, winding towards the man.

At this time, dozens of huge purple jade pillars appeared, condensing on the side of the giant wolf. The jade pillars burst into light, connected vertically and horizontally, and many densely packed characters were engraved on them, forming a pot lid, trapping the giant wolf in it .

In a flash, a tall and broad man appeared above the jade pillar. Pressing down with his hands, a black hole with a size of ten feet appeared.

Visible to the naked eye in the surrounding space, the black hole is like a bottomless vortex, and the overwhelming sea of ​​blood, like a dragon sucking water, funnels towards the black hole.

The purple jade pillar wrapping the giant wolf's body twisted into a ball, gradually shrunk, and poured into the black hole along with the sea of ​​blood.

In just over ten breaths, the sea of ​​blood and the purple jade pillar disappeared without a trace. The tall and broad man folded his hands together, and the black hole gradually closed.

Not far away, two flashes of light came, one with a fair complexion, and the other with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"Solved one." The man with a fair complexion said.

The voice just fell, but seeing the surrounding space expand rapidly, vomiting and writhing, the expressions of the three changed slightly when they saw this.

"It's really troublesome." The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes snorted coldly.

A huge wolf's head burst out of the air, as if breaking through an invisible wall.

The ripples in the surrounding space surged like huge waves.

The giant wolf let out a long howl, and its huge body squeezed out of the space. At this moment, it was scarred and dented in many places, as if it had suffered a heavy blow.

Before it could catch its breath, several red stars formed a line high in the sky, as big as a bullfight, and slowly pressed down on it.

Many stars completely divided the entire sky and earth. Wherever they passed, the space collapsed, and the whole body of the giant wolf unconsciously fell down.

Under the pressure of the star as big as a bullfight, the body of the giant wolf shattered inch by inch, and the hair on its body fell off, but only a big skeleton remained, which turned out to be just an empty shell.

When the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes saw this, his eyes froze, his figure stood above the stars and remained motionless.

Below, the skeleton of the giant wolf collapsed inch by inch. Suddenly, the man turned his head, and the huge body of the giant wolf burst out from the invisible space behind him.

A huge wolf's head was condensed in the sky, and it opened its mouth to bite down, wrapping the land with a radius of tens of miles, as if it wanted to swallow the world in one bite.

The radiance of many stars bloomed greatly, holding on to the blood light, covering the land with a radius of tens of miles.

There was only a crisp sound, and cracks appeared in the midair, and the space collapsed and shattered on a large scale under the squeeze of stars and blood.

.........

In the entire gray and misty space with a radius of thousands of miles, Mubei monsters and Taoist people fought together. In the sky, all kinds of incredible supernatural powers and spells appeared, covering one side of the land, only hitting the sky and the ground, and the space collapsed.

On the warship, shells were fired one after another, hitting the Mubei demon who was alone.

The pervasive gray fog surged into a ball under the impact of everyone's magical powers and the explosion of shells, like a huge wave.

……

Sitting cross-legged on the deck of the warship, Tang Ning heard a loud rumbling sound. He opened his eyes and saw the warship shining brightly. Many warships in the entire valley rose into the sky and drove forward.

Everyone on the deck looked at each other, for some reason.

The warship passed through the light curtain and submerged in the gray mist that filled the sky. After a short while, it went straight out of the gray mist, and the black and muscular army of Mubei monsters in front of it covered the sky and the sun.

Seeing the warship sailing out in the gray mist, the army of Mubei monsters rushed over like overwhelming the sky.

Everyone on the warship turned pale with fright, isn't this sending them to death?The opponent has nearly an entire legion of troops, while the own side has only one column manpower, completely hitting stones with pebbles.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Tangning cursed endlessly in her heart. Some bastard came up with the idea of ​​not defending a good formation, but she wanted to come out to attract firepower and seek her own death.

It's really bad luck, it's not a good place to go, but I just escaped here, and followed them to die.

Seeing the overwhelming army of monsters rushing in, everyone on the deck looked a little flustered, but there was nothing they could do.

The defensive shield on the warship has been activated, and a huge light curtain covers the warship, preventing outsiders from entering and insiders from exiting.

The cabin door opened, Li Xiaoyuan, Zhang Yu, Huang Yuan and others came out from the inside, walked in front of the crowd, and a man with a broad forehead and a broad face spoke first.

"You don't need to worry. This time our department is dispatched to disrupt the deployment of the Mubei monsters. The main purpose is to harass, not to break through the encirclement. You can follow the orders. If there are unauthorized actions and escapes, don't blame the military law ruthless."

The voice was mixed with spiritual power and swayed on the deck, clearly falling into everyone's ears.

At this time, many warships had already stopped, and the Mubei demon vanguard group was less than a hundred miles away. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the artillery shells on the warships were fired at once. The rain is generally lasing down.

The power of the cannonball burst tore through the space and engulfed many monsters.

The army of Mubei monsters followed one after another, facing the sky full of shells, and soon attacked the warship Zhou Ce. Huang Yuan and others gave an order, and the figures of many monks on the warship flashed, and they left the deck of the warship, guarding the surrounding area .

Tang Ning cursed in her heart, these high-level executives of the legion are really fed up, they have nothing to do, they don't want to break out, they don't recharge their energy and wait for work, but they want to come out and fight these monsters with their lives. In one word, I don't know how many people want Died unexpectedly.

He felt helpless, and couldn't stay on the deck any longer, so he jumped up with the crowd to protect the surroundings of the warship.

The warship's shells were still firing, hitting Mubei's rushing army over the heads of the crowd, while the front team's monster team had already attacked in front of the warship, and fought with the monks guarding the surrounding area.

All kinds of rays of light intertwined in midair.

Tang Ning tried her best to stay behind the crowd to avoid being stared at by monsters. From time to time, she would make seals with her hands and perform kung fu techniques to secretly attack a monster that was fighting fiercely with other people.

With his cultivation and strength, it is not easy to preserve himself in such a chaotic situation. In addition to guarding against the attacks of monsters, he must always pay attention not to be affected by other people's magical powers.

As time went by, warships and chariots from the Mubei Allied Forces also surrounded from both sides, shells from both sides fired in salvo, a huge cloud of air flow rose, the tearing space became bigger and bigger, and the space ripples slapped in waves .

A cannonball exploded in front of it, the space was distorted visible to the naked eye, and ripples came row after row.

Seeing this, Tangning didn't care about any orders, and hurriedly fled back. Many warships of the Xuanmen also retreated one after another, retreating into the gray mist behind them.

Many monks were in a mess, fearing that they would retreat slowly and become ghosts in the belly of monsters. Fortunately, they were not far from the gray fog, and after everyone retreated into it, no monsters rushed in.

Everyone returned to the warship one after another, and sailed out of the gray fog together with the team.

It was only half an hour before and after the battle between the two sides. As soon as the warships and chariots of the Mubei coalition army surrounded them, Xuanmen retreated into the gray fog. Since the Mubei coalition army did not pursue them, there were not many casualties.

Tangning returned to the Sky Spirit Ship, stood on the bow, and sighed inwardly. In fact, this kind of tentative attack was meaningless. It was said that it was to harass the demons and disrupt their attacking pace, but it had little effect.

The strength of the Mubei Allied Forces, nearly one legion, would stop because of the insignificant harassment from the Taoist sect. It's just a pity for the monks who were killed or injured in this battle. This was an unnecessary battle.

Having said that, war, how can there be so much compassion and care about interests.

This is a real war, and the upper echelons of the legion don't care about the life and death of a small number of monks below.

As long as their strategic goals can be achieved, no matter how many monks are killed or injured, they will not hesitate.

And when they dispatched the fifth column to go out to attack, the fundamental goal was not to kill the enemy. The meaning of this warning was greater than the effect of strength, and it was not so much to deter the Mubei monsters and disrupt their attack pace.

For example, it is to warn them that he may attack at any time, so that they can't be so unscrupulous and deploy offensive strategies as they like.

As long as it can make them feel scruples and hinder their offensive pace, even if it is only a slight effect, no matter how many monks are killed or injured, it is worth it.

For low-ranking monks like Tang Ning, such meaningless attacks were like wandering around the gates of hell every time, and they were naturally dissatisfied. This was because the positions of the low-ranking monks and the high-ranking monks were different and could not be bridged.

…………

On the majestic thunder boat, Yuan You, the commander of the Mubei Third Army, stood with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly as he looked at the gray mist that covered the sky and covered the sun in front of him.

A ray of light shot from afar, and a burly man appeared, bowed and said: "The Xuanmen team has fled in a hurry, and has retreated into the restraint, please tell me, sir, do you need to pursue it?"

"Don't chase after the poor. Their purpose is to lead us into the formation. Pass my order, and all the teams will move forward and surround the entire formation."

"Yes." The man responded and left.

"Fellow Chisong, in your opinion, what should I do next? We can't be so deadlocked all the time, this is exactly what they like to see."

"This formation cannot be broken by crowds. The more people there are, the easier it will be to cause chaos. I entered the formation with fellow Taoists just now, and have found two places to stand. However, we were attacked by the Taoist sect, and our formation was thrown into chaos. He was also disturbed by the formation, so he was unable to withdraw from the large formation. Judging from the current situation, it is difficult to break the formation in a short time, and we need to plan it slowly." Chisong said.
