No. 258: On the Brink of Battle
Xuanli City, Earth Fire Chamber.
Cheng Buzheng sat cross-legged on the futon, his hands occasionally forming a hand Method Formula. As the Method Formula changed, the temperature of the Earth Fire underwent extremely subtle changes.
Suddenly, he frowned, making a hand seal with one hand while reaching into his robes to take out Jade Talisman Method Formula.
Making hand seals with one hand Method Formula only highly experienced Alchemist can do; ordinary Alchemist don't have this ability, nor would they dare to perform such a feat.
Immediately, Cheng Buzheng separated a wisp of his Divine Sense and probed into the Jade Talisman.
He glanced regretfully at the Pill Furnace on the stone pier and murmured:
"Sigh, another batch of pills wasted!"
With the safety of the entire city at stake, he had no choice but to stop refining elixirs.
According to the warning, the number of Demon Beast attacking this time is enormous, with quite a few even being second-tier Demon Beast. This is definitely not something a puppet without any Treasure Tool or the ability to instantly unleash Treasure Art can withstand.
Cheng Buzheng hesitation, Cheng Buzheng stood up, waved his hand to put away the Pill Furnace, and walked outside.
A short while later.
A beam of light rose up in front of the Earth Fire Chamber and flew towards the forbidden area.
After entering the Great Array, the No. 3 Puppet immediately revoked its Treasure Art, its Divine Form Transformation, and its face returned to that of a cold and aloof young man.
Then, he cast a hand Method Formula, and the Spirit Pressure around him plummeted until it stopped at the Late Qi Refining Stage.
At the same time.
Earth Fire Chamber, the Treasure-Class No. 1 Puppet and No. 2 Puppet also stopped refining pills. After leaving the city gate, they transformed into streaks of light and flew off to the east and north, respectively.
Having prepared in advance, the main body then transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the due south.
After the main body leaves.
The stern-faced youth also transformed into a ray of light and flew towards the west of the island.
······
Jade Tray hangs high above the Star River, bathed in moonlight!
The Endless Sea at night is not only as deep as the darkest night sky, but it is also more dangerous than during the day!
At this moment, one can witness spectacular scenes one after another on the Endless Sea!
The moonlight, like a bolt of silk, gathered above the Endless Sea.
Some were large, others small, ranging from pillars of light to thin threads. Numerous Demon Beast swirled beneath the sea's surface, now inhaling and exhaling the moonlight.
Cheng Buzheng gazed at the shimmering sea in the distance. The sea breeze made his robes flutter, but he remained motionless, staring into the distance!
The seawater, as black as ink, surged and rolled up, whipping up huge waves that crashed against the Qiao Rock at the edge of the island, accompanied by the roar of the sea wind!
He held two Willow Leaf Blades upside down in his right hand, quietly waiting for the Demon Beast to arrive.
The three puppets took their positions, standing in the east, west, and north directions respectively!
At this moment, all the cultivators on Xuanli Island entered Xuanli Immortal City, leaving the wilderness deserted.
Ten breaths later.
Under the moonlight, a golden glint appeared on the distant sea.
His Divine Sense could clearly perceive the fluctuations of spiritual energy. The stronger fluctuations were roughly equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage, while the weaker Demon Beast were roughly equivalent to the Qi Refining Stage stage.
Among them were two Second-order High-grade Demon Beast, and according to their Spirit Power fluctuations, their strength was at the peak of the Second-order High-grade, just one step away from advancing to the third-tier Demon Beast.
There are also seven second-tier Demon Beast, but they are all of medium and low grade, with the majority being low grade!
As for first-tier Demon Beast, Cheng Buzheng clearly sensed no fewer than a thousand.
Upon seeing this familiar scene, he knew it must be a group of Demon Beast beasts.
In the past, Cheng Buzheng had encountered many similar groups of Demon Beast, but none of them were as large as the one before him, nor were they as strong.
Second-tier Demon Beast are the main Spirit Material for the Bipolar Pill, and he couldn't bear to miss this golden opportunity.
If Cheng Buzheng confident he could kill these Demon Beast, he would have already sought help from Huanqiu Island. It was only because he had the Teleportation Array Disk in hand that he remained so calm and composed.
There were still no signs of Demon Beast in the other three directions, but Cheng Buzheng still had puppets guard those three directions.
Most second-tier Demon Beast possess intelligence comparable to that of a mischievous human child, but there are also some special Demon Beast intelligence grows extremely rapidly and who understand some strategies, such as:
--A feint to the east while attacking in the west, a secret maneuver!
Judging from the current situation and scale, it's likely that only the southernmost part of this group of Demon Beast Demon Beast affected, and the possibility of them attacking from the other three directions is slim.
However, just in case, Cheng Buzheng decided to remain unchanged and wait for confirmation before sending the three puppets to provide assistance.
If even a second-tier Demon Beast were to be missed, it would be a disaster for the cultivators of Xuanli City.
Many Qi Refining Stage cultivators were simply no match for second-tier Demon Beast. Even the city's protective Great Array could not hold out for long before being forcibly broken by the Demon Beast!
Therefore, Cheng Buzheng dared not be careless in the slightest, because the attacking group was too large, and it was the first time he had ever encountered one.
Three breaths later.
Under the bright moonlight, the sea surface shimmered with golden light, drawing ever closer to the edge of the island.
suddenly.
Golden streaks of light burst forth from the sea!
Each of the serpents was as if crafted from Red Gold, gleaming with golden light!
Like a tide, they spread towards the island, with the two spirit snakes being the largest and emitting the strongest spiritual energy fluctuations!
These two enormous serpents stood out conspicuously among the snakes, their golden scales gleaming even more brilliantly under the moonlight!
Behind these two spirit snakes followed seven spirit snakes, each slightly smaller, but still second-tier Demon Beast. The spirit snakes on both sides parted to make way, as if a king had descended, and nobles, ministers, and commoners had to give way!
Behind them, golden serpents continuously burst forth from the water, shooting towards the island, like soldiers clad in Golden Armor, following their king as he conquers the world, traversing the heavens and earth.
Cheng Buzheng saw the spirit snake in front of him and it looked somewhat familiar. He immediately recalled the scene, and images flashed through his mind.
In the blink of an eye.
Cheng Buzheng finally learned the origin of this spirit snake; it was something he had glimpsed in the Jade Slip when the Supervision Academy reported the intelligence.
This is the culprit that destroyed Manxing Island ~
--Hui Gold Snake.
"Based on the nature and habits of this snake, they should have moved far away from this area by now!"
They shouldn't be here, let alone attack the main island.
He then noticed the two exceptionally large and Hui Gold Snake.
The aura emanating from these two Hui Gold Snake was not only exceptionally solid, but their Spirit Power fluctuations were also at the peak of the Second-order High-grade.
"It seems he's eager to advance his rank, which explains his unusual behavior!"
Cheng Buzheng thought to himself.
Cultivators are not only the greatest enemies of Demon Beast, but also one of the best resources for Demon Beast to advance their ranks!
This explains the unusual nature of the Hui Gold Snake.
Two Hui Gold Snake, like great generals, led their army toward Cheng Buzheng.
Although it's described as roaming, its speed is lightning fast, definitely not slow.
The two sides are getting closer and closer, and a great battle is about to break out!
