Casualties After Two Months of Bitter Fighting, Another Summons Issued
Deep within the "Eastern Forest Great Marsh," above, projections of various "True Spirit Star" manifest, casting down various starlight; below, the "True Martial Hall" suppresses them, unleashing torrents of Black Water that engulf all directions.
Kong Wenxuan and other cultivators from the "True Spirit Lineage" held the advantage of favorable timing on this battlefield, while the invading martial arts cultivators, Demon Race, Demon Beast, and demon blood cultivators held the advantage of favorable terrain.
The two sides fought fiercely in the Great Marsh, with neither side having a way out.
Roar!
At this moment, a Third Tier giant crocodile Demon Beast pounced out of the swamp, roaring and entangled a Third Tier "Water Witch Martial Cultivator" on the opposite side.
The next moment, a five-colored sword light instantly expanded, encompassing both the giant crocodile and the Third Tier martial artist. This sword light was the manifestation of the "Great Five Elements Sword Formation" announced by Kong Wenxuan.
This giant crocodile was a Third Tier beast that he had subdued and commanded using the third- Third Tier "Azure Dragon Command," and it was now being released by him to participate in this battle.
With the help of this Third Tier "giant crocodile" beast, Kong Wenxuan became increasingly quick and easy in killing these Third Tier enemies.
He used the Third Tier "Giant Crocodile" beast to entangle his opponent, while he activated the "Great Five Elements Sword Formation" to take the opportunity to bring both the giant crocodile and the enemy into the "sword formation". Then, he launched a series of attacks: "Great Five Elements Destruction Sword Light", "Mountain and River Sword Momentum", "Sword Qi Thunderclap", "Sword Light Differentiation", and "Refining the Sword into Threads".
Whether it was the invading Third Tier martial cultivators, the Third Tier demon race who had refined various demonic artifacts and mastered Bloodline Divine Ability Demon Race, or the Third Tier Demon Beast and Third Tier demonic blood cultivators, none of them were able to completely withstand this series of attacks.
They were basically killed on the spot after only two or three sword attacks.
Behind him, the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement disciples of the Kong Household, along with the "Peacock Dao Soldiers," formed their own formations and slaughtered the First Tier and Second Tier Demon Beast, Demon Race, demon blood cultivators, martial artists, and other enemies around them.
The sounds of swords clashing, Law Technique and Spirit Technique roaring, the clear chirping of Peacock, explosions, battles, and the howls and roars of various Demon Beast and birds filled the air.
Not only them, but also the armies of the Bi Household, the Ya Household, the Jiao Household, and the Fu Household in this Great Marsh were fighting against large numbers of Demon Beast, Demon Race, demon blood cultivators, and invading martial artists.
In the sky, on the earth, and within the swamp, starlight clashed with Black Water, Law Technique clashed with sorcery, spiritual Spirit Artifact weapons, and Divine Ability Divine Ability bombarded each other!
The entire battlefield was engulfed in chaos, with rainbow lights, explosions, and countless corpses and gore everywhere.
Blood Qi, death energy, Sha Qi, and Yao Qi gathered more and more on the battlefield. In addition, the Great Marsh devoured the corpses, bones, flesh and blood of the dead and wounded, generating poisonous gas and miasma that spread in all directions.
The environment on the entire Great Marsh battlefield is getting worse and worse, making the fighting increasingly difficult.
After the battle lasted for half a month, the "Peacock Dao Soldiers" brought by Kong Wenxuan began to falter, with continuous deaths, injuries, and sacrifices.
Seeing this, Kong Wenxuan had no choice but to slow down his attack and slaughter, withdrawing some of his forces to protect his Lineage members and the "Peacock Dao Soldiers."
After all, the Kong Household had only been established for a few decades, and their fighting strength, including cultivators and Dao soldiers, was still limited. Kong Wenxuan was unwilling to let them waste their time on such a battlefield.
After a month of fighting and chaos, the Kong Household members behind Kong Wenxuan began to falter.
First, the "True Spirit Battle Formation" of the "Dharma Screen Peacock" was broken by the demon blood cultivators and martial artists who were fighting with them, and nearly ten Qi Refinement disciples of the Lineage died on the spot.
Then, in order to rescue the Qi Refinement disciples of the Lineage whose "True Spirit Battle Formation" had been breached, Kong Wenchang and Kong Wenyin immediately activated the "Five Elements Talisman Slips Formation" set up by the two of them using "Five Elements Talisman Formation" to attack the demon blood cultivators and martial artists who were slaughtering the Qi Refinement disciples of the Lineage.
As a result, a group of Second Tier Demon Race race members and martial artists who had been fighting against the two of them suddenly erupted and launched a strong attack in conjunction with the demon blood cultivators and martial artists who had broken through the "True Spirit Battle Formation". They broke through the "Five Elements Talisman Formation" set up by the two of them on the spot.
If Kong Wenxuan hadn't already withdrawn a significant amount of his forces and focused his attention on his own disciples, and hadn't immediately deployed the "Great Five Elements Sword Formation" at the crucial moment, activating the Third Tier "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" to slash at nine times the speed of sound to rescue them, killing all the First Tier- and Second Tier Demon Race, demon blood cultivators, and martial artists, Kong Wenchang and Kong Wenyin would probably have died on the spot.
In fact, after more than a month of fierce fighting,
Moreover, before this, the cultivators from various factions had just finished the great battles of "Mystic Crane Secret Realm" and "Black Crane County City", and had been chasing after the fleeing Demon Race and martial artists all the way to the depths of this Great Marsh.
It can be said that since the cultivators from various families answered the call, they have been either fighting and killing or on the road to pursue and kill for several months, and have hardly had any rest.
It's only natural that some people are starting to feel unable to persevere.
The Fu Household family, a Ninth-Grade True Spirit Lineage known as the "Pit Viper," had already been unable to hold out for half a month. Nearly half of the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement disciples and Pit Viper Dao Soldiers who came to their aid had been killed or wounded, forcing them to temporarily withdraw from the battle.
Now, even a low-level Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage like the Kong Household, with its relatively shallow foundation, is beginning to falter. Kong Wenxuan has no choice but to temporarily halt his offensive and combat efforts, leading his Lineage members to retreat a bit to allow Lineage to recuperate, recover, and rebuild their fighting strength.
At the same time, he looked at the situation on the entire Great Marsh battlefield and found that among the remaining fighting and killing teams, only the Bi Household army was still advancing bravely and gaining the upper hand on the battlefield, constantly killing and breaking through the obstruction of Demon Race, demon blood cultivators, Demon Beast, and martial cultivators, and attacking the "True Martial Hall" that stood deep in the "Great Marsh Swamp".
However, the "True Martial Hall" was guarded by the enormous figure of "Black Water True Martial." Although the Bi Household army broke through the defenses of the Demon Race and martial cultivators several times and attacked the "True Martial Hall," they still could not shake or destroy it.
As for the other two Eighth-Grade True Spirit Lineage, the Ya Household and the Jiao Household, although their Lineage foundation and the number of disciples of various levels of cultivators who responded to the call were much stronger than those of the Kong Household.
However, Kong Wenxuan could also see that the two families' sons were almost at their limits in this fierce battle.
Sure enough, after another half month of fierce fighting, the teams of the Ya Household and the Jiao Household also began to encounter problems one after another. Their "True Spirit Battle Formation" was broken by the enemy, and their Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment disciples perished as a result.
As for the "Fire Crow Dao Soldiers" and "Wildebeest Dao Soldiers" of both sides, they suffered even more casualties in such fierce battles.
Therefore, the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators leading the Ya Household and Jiao Household also began to switch from offense to defense, protecting the remaining members of Lineage Lineage as they slowly retreated, allowing them to recuperate and recover.
As the armies of the Kong Household, Ya Household, and Jiao Household ceased their attacks, the remaining Bi Household army, fighting alone, could not sustain the offensive and had to temporarily halt its advance as well.
However, their two months of fierce fighting and killing were not without results; at least they temporarily stopped the "True Martial Hall" from unleashing Black Water, flooding all directions, and plundering the "Origin Fragment".
Of course, after two months of fierce fighting, Kong Wenxuan and the others could also see the great determination of the invading martial arts cultivators, and even the Demon Race, to seize this Great Marsh and the "Origin Fragment" within it.
In the past two months of fierce fighting, not to mention others, Kong Wenxuan himself has killed no fewer than thirty third- Third Tier Demon Race, Demon Beast, demon blood cultivators, and invading martial cultivators. Even so, more and more Third Tier enemies are still coming to kill him.
These Third Tier enemies were clearly not the same enemies who had previously breached Black Crane County; otherwise, the He Household would never have been able to hold out until the Bi Household's army arrived to provide reinforcements.
Therefore, these Third Tier enemies could only have been brought in from the "Heavenly Demon Grotto-Heaven" and other martial arts teams that invaded the "True Spirit Realm" during the fierce battles of the past two months.
It wasn't just the Third Tier enemies; the number of First Tier- and Second Tier Demon Race, Demon Beast, demon blood cultivators, and invading martial artists who came to their aid would only be greater. Otherwise, the large armies of the Kong Household, the Ya Household, and the Jiao Household wouldn't have been unable to hold on after the fierce battle.
In other words, the number of Fourth Tier enemies is limited, and the two True Person of the Bi Household have been unable to break through the "Black Water True Martial" protection manifested by the "True Martial Hall," so no reinforcements have been seen for the time being.
However, the continuous reinforcements from these enemies of various ranks from first to Third Tier were enough to make it increasingly difficult for Kong Wenxuan and his men to hold on, and after two months of fierce fighting, they had no choice but to suspend their offensive.
At this moment, Bi Yanshu, the head of the Revenue Department of the Prefectural Government, summoned Kong Wenxuan, Jiao Jing'en, Ya Xingheng, and other leaders of various families, and said with a solemn expression, "The situation is rather bad. It seems that the Demon Race race and martial cultivators are determined to seize the Great Marsh Land and the ' Origin Fragment,' resulting in a continuous influx of various Demon Race, Demon Beast, demon blood cultivators, and martial cultivators to provide support!"
"At this rate, we'll never be able to completely destroy the ' True Martial Hall,' and sooner or later they'll seize the ' Origin Fragment.'"
"Therefore, I have decided to issue another 'Conscription Order.' This time, not only will each of your ' True Spirit Lineage ' need to contribute even more combat power, but your servant Lineage are also included in the conscription order!"
"This time, we will mobilize the entire prefecture to thwart the enemy's plot and destroy that ' True Martial Hall '!"
