The Immortal Way is Fierce

Chapter 86 Who is the overall situation? You are the big picture!

Hearing this incredible exclamation, everyone couldn't help but look towards Xincheng, their expressions changed drastically.

I saw that the thick and solemn light shield that was originally flowing in the new city was now only a thin layer, like a candle in the wind, which could be broken by a blow. It was crumbling and might fall to the next blow of the monster at any time.

What Zhang Jingyuan and the others didn't know was that the number of monsters brought by the Hidden Demon King this time far exceeded the previous expectations, and An Qingxian, who should have come to support in time, was also blocked by the four demon kings.

So it didn’t take long for the photomask to show signs of being unable to hold up.

So Master Lu, the goateeed monk who was responsible for guarding the city, decided to lead his team out of the city in an attempt to kill a wave of monsters and reduce the pressure on the mask. However, not long after they left the city, Master Lu was killed by a mid-stage foundation-building monster. Seriously injured in a sneak attack and comatose from blood loss.

Another group of people were sent from the city to come out to assist, and they were able to barely rescue Lord Lu, but they also lost many good men.

The monsters didn't kill many, but a bunch of people died trying to save people. Naturally, the city's defenses were even more stretched and riddled with holes.

No, it didn't take long for the mask to be in danger. It was so critical that even Liujiacun couldn't sustain it for long.

"boom!"

While everyone in Liujia Village was stunned, a late-stage foundation-building monster that was much larger than a giant rock bear slammed into the light barrier.

The mask instantly erupted with a burst of dazzling white light, but it was short-lived, the light quickly dissipated, and finally disappeared into nothingness.

The city is broken!
Everyone felt that their hearts were suddenly squeezed hard, and they were so dull that they ached. During the days of building the city, they had a lot of dealings with these city-defending monks, and some of them had already become friends.

Now that the city is broken, they cannot imagine the miserable fate of these monks who defended the city.

At the same time, a proud face suddenly appeared in the thick fog emitted by the Kirigakure Demon King, and it shouted loudly:
"Kill all these humans, suck out their flesh and blood, eat their bones, turn their bodies into material for your growth, take away their spirit stones, destroy their cities, so that they will never dare to step in again. Canglang Demon Mountain takes one step!"

All the monsters and beasts roared in unison, and the roar of tigers, roars of bears, the roar of deers, and the cries of birds resounded through the sky in an instant, shaking the earth and the earth!
These human races have killed so many of their sons, refined them into magic weapons, taken away the elixir they worked so hard to protect, and refined it into elixirs. Now it is finally time for them to take revenge!

Monster beasts rushed in one after another. The leader was a late-stage foundation-building wind-wing tiger. Its mouth opened wide, and a fierce wind swept out in an instant, covering the sky and the earth. Several Qi-refining stage monks in front of it were It was instantly swept into the mouth of the Wind Wing Tiger by the strong wind.

The Windwing Tiger chewed it with a big mouth, and countless blood spurted out. The broken limbs fell down from the gap between the teeth, and the miserable wail sounded directly from its mouth!

The other monsters also used their own methods and showed their magical powers to kill the monks in the city crazily.

There are some weak monsters who are only in the Qi refining stage, so they can only follow these big monsters and pick up some leftovers to eat.

But the most amazing thing is the Demon King of the Hidden Mist. I can see that the layers of fog that stretch for thousands of miles are also advancing rapidly. All the human monks wrapped in the fog will turn into mummies after the fog leaves. Apparently, all the blood in their bodies is gone. Being sucked dry by this thick fog.

A series of brutal massacres without the ability to fight back appeared in the eyes of Zhang Jingyuan and others.

Some of the more fragile monks were already in tears and in great pain, or they knelt on the ground and started to choke loudly, almost vomiting out all the food they had eaten the day before.

"If Xincheng cannot be defended, and how long Liujiacun can hold on, I decided that everyone should disperse and escape."

Zhang Jingyuan looked into the distance, took a long breath, and said with a somewhat helpless and complicated expression.

If it were only at this intensity, he could actually hold on.

After all, those Qi Refining Dzogchen Demonic Beasts were no match for him. He had originally planned to leave the formation control room in charge and leave it to Li Shanfu.

Then, he led the team out to kill for a while. With his ability, as long as someone helped to restrain the two foundation-building monsters, Giant Rock Bear and Grimace Bird, he could cause a lot of damage to these monsters.

By doing this several times, you can ensure that only the two foundation-building monsters, the Giant Rock Bear and the Grimace Bird, are left on the field.

Although the foundation-building monsters are powerful, it is almost wishful thinking to break through Liujiacun, which is guarded by hundreds of monks, on their own.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but thank him again. The Taoist League respected the practice of cultivation by all people. Even if the five spiritual roots can only be cultivated in the middle stage of Qi refining in a lifetime, they still have to practice.

Although a monk with this level of cultivation does not know Taoist magic and magical powers, and has almost no possibility of fighting in battle, the human flesh spirit stone is still very useful as a dry battery.

It can be said that many cities, and even planets, relied on these mortal monks to supply spiritual power one after another, so that the city defense formation could last for dozens of years, and finally rescue came.

Otherwise, it would be wishful thinking to just rely on these few hundred foreign monks to defend Liujia Village.

Of course, the greater role of mortal practice is to provide a solid foundation for the popularization of the use of mortal tools, making a qualitative leap in productivity. The improvement of productivity will bring richer materials and a happier life. And a more prosperous human race.

The increase in the number of human races means that more monks with four spiritual roots and above will be born, and these monks can obtain more resources and cultivate to a higher level.

It can be said that these countless, ant-like mortals are the human race and the foundation of the Tao Alliance.

In the previous life, the Dao Alliance relied on these to survive one crisis after another.

Therefore, let alone these two foundation-building monsters in front of him, even if there is a stalemate, if the Hidden Demon King sends one or two more foundation-building monsters, Zhang Jingyuan feels that he can hold on.

But unexpectedly, he was able to hold on, but Xincheng, who was stronger and better prepared, could not hold on, and all his plans came to nothing in the blink of an eye.

"I agree. If we run away and live our lives, a group of people can still survive. If we sit here and wait for death, once we wait for the Kirigakure Demon King, no, just a few foundation-building monsters to notice us, then the tragic situation in the new city will be , is the future of Liujiacun."

Zhuo Kai took one look at the tragic situation in the new city and said in great pain.

"This God is cruel. He gives us hope, but then gives us despair in an instant. Run away as much as you can."

Li Shanfu's eyes were still firmly attracted to Xincheng, and he murmured to himself.

He Zhize also nodded silently.

Since these three Qi Refining Dzogchen had no objections, it was decided like this. Although other Qi Refining monks, especially the villagers of Liujia Village, had other ideas, they also knew that this was the best way.

Zhang Jingyuan said thoughtfully: "After thirty breaths, I will detonate the light shield and cause huge damage to the surrounding monsters. Then everyone should run away from the road behind the village. I will stop these monsters for ten breaths." , after ten breaths, whether you live or die depends entirely on your luck."

In fact, the best way is to leave a group of capable monks to stop these monsters in Liujia Village, so that more people can escape. But foreign monks like Li Shanfu, not to mention not related to the people of Liujiacun, had no friendship with each other. Who could he let stay and die?

So we can only run away. Whether we live or die depends on our luck.

"I'm here to stop these monsters for ten breaths of time. Fellow Daoist Zhang, please leave first."

After pondering for a moment, Zhuo Kai suddenly said.

Zhang Jingyuan's eyes suddenly showed a hint of surprise. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by He Zhi.

"I agree with Lao Kai's opinion. I will stay with him to snipe the monsters together. At this critical moment of life and death, the overall situation is the most important, and who is the overall situation? Zhang Daoyou, you are the overall situation. As long as you can survive, that is the greatest victory. You are worth a hundred times more than we are.”

"A talented monk like you who is proficient in formations and has amazing swordsmanship, a student of Longxiang Taoist Academy, your life is much more important than ours. Promise me that you will go back alive, practice to the golden elixir, and then kill the entire Canglang Demon The mountain will avenge us."

"It's worth it to have the entire Canglang Demonic Mountain buried with us! And if it hadn't been for your timely rescue just now, Fellow Daoist Zhang, we would have died!"

He Zhi looked at Zhang Jingyuan and said emotionally.

Zhang Jingyuan's shocking sword strike just now was still lingering in his mind, letting him know that there could still be such swordsmanship in this world.

He also knew that he would never be able to practice such swordsmanship in his lifetime, but this was Zhang Jingyuan's starting point. He could no longer imagine how high Zhang Jingyuan would achieve in the future.

"I won't leave either. I have lived for more than eighty years and there is no hope of building a foundation. This life has been enough. It would be an honor to die here. When the time comes, maybe people will come to pay my respects to me every year."

Li Shanfu also said suddenly.

Looking at these sincere faces, Zhang Jingyuan suddenly didn't know what to say. Although this scene was not uncommon in his memory in his previous life, he felt like he couldn't help crying every time.

If He Zhi and the others were placed in the entire Dao Alliance, or even in a mere Yunhua Star, their strength would only be considered weak, but their performance at this time can be called the backbone and heroes of the human race.

The human race was born from a remote planet, and despite being outnumbered and talented, it became the overlord of the universe. It is because of these endless heroes and backbones!
"Okay, stop being pretentious. If you say I have ten breaths, I mean ten breaths..."

What else did He Zhi and the others want to say? Zhang Jingyuan lowered his hand and continued: "I can guarantee you that I will never die within ten breaths. As for you, if you are willing, you can each lead a team Powerful monks fight and run in three different directions. This way, the chance of survival will be greater, and more people will survive."

Seeing what the three of them wanted to say, Zhang Jingyuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said sternly: "Now I am in command here. What I say is an order. You just need to execute it. Be prepared and break out in thirty breaths!" "

After saying this, Zhang Jingyuan turned around and walked towards the formation control room. He still had to prepare for the self-destruction of the mask.

If this continues to be pretentious for a few dozen more breaths, who knows what will happen, and the monsters over there in the new city will be eyeing this place. When the time comes, let’s die together, no one will be able to escape!
Looking at Zhang Jingyuan who was full of murderous intent, Zhuo Kai swallowed subconsciously and murmured to himself: "Are the students of Longxiang Taoist Academy so powerful? With such powerful power, I thought the person in front of me was a foundation-building monk. Woolen cloth."

"It stands to reason that we should have seen more scenes like this than Daoyou Zhang, but his behavior is much more rational and decisive than ours!"

Li Shanfu couldn't help but say.

Even now, when he thinks of Zhang Jingyuan controlling the flying sword in the formation control room just now, and the cool feeling on his neck, he still feels lingering fear and uneasiness.

"Okay, get ready. If we fail to live up to Fellow Daoist Zhang's good intentions, we will never redeem ourselves."

He Zhi patted the two of them on the shoulders and comforted them.

The three of them nodded, and then each looked for some monks they were familiar with to convey Zhang Jingyuan's order.

For a time, the entire Liujia Village suddenly became tense, and everyone was hesitant, not knowing what their future fate would be.

Zhang Jingyuan was currently busy in the formation control room nervously.

The self-explosion of the mask is the last resort of this kind of protective formation. Liujia Village naturally has this one, and what he is doing now is to add some materials to it to make it more powerful.

Painfully, Zhang Jingyuan placed twenty spiritual stones in the energy supply warehouse of the village protection formation. Zhang Jingyuan's hatred for Duan Bai and others became even stronger.

Well, that's right, it's the hatred towards Duan Bai and others.

If Duan Bai, the unlucky boy, had not insisted on killing him, could he have happened to be in Liujia Village today?
Setting up a restrictive formation to prevent Duan Bai and the others from going out cost him twenty spiritual stones, and now this village-protecting formation will cost him another twenty spiritual stones.

Now he only hopes to get some compensation from Duan Bai's inheritance.

After everything was ready, Zhang Jingyuan walked out of the formation control room and saw everyone watching him nervously.

Zhang Jingyuan bowed to everyone and gave a salute: "Everyone understands the current situation. Thanks to everyone's cooperation, we can survive at this time. After five breaths, the mask will self-destruct. I will hold on for everyone for ten breaths. I hope Let’s all survive.”

"Thank you Daoist Fellow Zhang for your kindness. If Fellow Daoist hadn't been here, we would have fallen into the mouth of the monster."

As he spoke, the entire village, hundreds of monks, bowed and bowed towards Zhang Jingyuan.

Zhang Jingyuan wanted to avoid it, but in the end he didn't move and accepted everyone's bow.

"five!"

"Four!"

……

"one!"

As Zhang Jingyuan's countdown ended, the mask suddenly erupted with a burst of dazzling white light, shining brightly and illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime!
"Ow! Ow!"

Feeling the powerful power contained in the light shield and the huge sense of crisis, the giant rock bear roared loudly in panic.

But it's too late!
