Then I Won't Bother Persuading Them!
Because the formation had a soundproofing effect, the Blood Asura Gate members inside didn't perceive the formation's condition as particularly bad.
Only the disciple controlling the grand formation was sweating profusely with anxiety, because in his perception, the sect's grand formation had never consumed Spirit Stone so rapidly as it had at this moment.
Standing at the very front, Gou Wenshan noticed the strange expression on the face of the disciple in charge of the formation and quickly asked, "How is the formation?"
"Sect Master! Judging from the current state of the Spirit Stone in the great formation, it can only last for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
"What?"
Gou Wenshan looked at the disciple in disbelief. You must know that the Blood Asura Gate's sect formation can be considered their most treasured possession. The Blood Asura Gate, as Evil Dao sect, has been able to stand firm in the Southern Frontier for so many years, and this formation can be said to have played an indispensable role in that.
This sect's grand formation once withstood the attack of a Body Integration Realm cultivator for half an hour, but now, under the attack of those inexplicable puppets outside, the formation is running out of Spirit Stone in just a few breaths.
Gou Wenshan now understood how the previous Golden Core elders had died. It seemed that although the opponent's puppets were not very good in terms of defense, their attack power was extremely strong.
With a formidable enemy at hand and their situation still unclear, Gou Wenshan dared not leave the formation rashly. After all, the previous example had been trampled into mincemeat by Yi Xuan's mechanical army, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Gou Wenshan could only instruct his disciples to hurry up and add Spirit Stone to the great formation, while he and a group of elders observed the outside world through the formation.
Shi Zhenghao was completely numb at this point.
What would it look like if countless Nüwa, each carrying Gatling, launched simultaneously from across the mountains?
Shi Zhenghao had seen many grand scenes in the first half of his life, and had even had the privilege of witnessing the actions of powerful figures in the Cultivation Realm a few times. However, compared to the scene before him, the actions of those powerful figures seemed somewhat lackluster.
At this moment, none of the three people standing outside the Blood Asura Gate spoke; they just stood there watching countless Nüwa unleash a hail of bullets towards the Blood Asura Gate.
It wasn't that Yi Xuan and the other two didn't want to talk.
The roar of nearly four thousand Gatling completely drowned out all other sounds around them, and even if the three of them opened their mouths, it would have no effect whatsoever.
Fortunately, apart from Ning Yun who hadn't yet mastered the technique, Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao could both use the art of sound transmission, so the surrounding roars wouldn't affect their communication.
"Junior Brother Yi, tell your senior brother, you wouldn't happen to be some reincarnated old monster, would you?"
"Reincarnation and rebirth?"
Yi Xuan rolled his eyes.
"Have you ever seen an old monster who reincarnates and cultivates again be reborn into a Rootless Person? What's the point of cultivating again then?"
Shi Zhenghao thought about it and realized that it did seem to be true.
Looking at the shocking scene before him, Shi Zhenghao simply couldn't believe that a Rootless Person could have done this.
Have you ever seen a Rootless Person so arrogantly blocking the entrance of a second-rate sect in the Southern Frontier, with the other party not daring to come out and only able to wait behind that tortoise shell for Yi Xuan's attack to end?
Under the Gatling attack of the mechanical army, the Blood Asura Gate's defensive array flickered incessantly, and even the original illusionary spells quickly retreated under Yi Xuan's attacks.
Behind the transparent array shield, the Blood Asura Gate members were revealed, observing the situation outside.
Yi Xuan looked at the spent shell casings scattered all around him, shook his head, and ordered a halt to the attack.
It wasn't because Yi Xuan's bullets were running out. You see, Yi Xuan's personal research center had several bullet production lines, and even if it took a whole day, Yi Xuan wouldn't have any problems.
The current situation is quite clear: as long as the opponent has enough Spirit Stone, this formation can completely wear down Yi Xuan.
This kind of pure consumption is of no benefit to either Yi Xuan or the Blood Asura Gate.
Seeing that the enemy's attack had stopped, Gou Wenshan, who was behind the formation, quickly erected a protective shield of True Essence and stepped out of the formation.
The sect elders behind him followed suit and came out as well.
The vast mechanical army covering the mountains and plains was indeed dizzying, but Gou Wenshan, being Nascent Soul Cultivator, quickly spotted Yi Xuan and the other two being protected by the mechanical army with a sweep of his Divine Sense.
He was dumbfounded after scanning the area with his Divine Sense.
What the heck?
One is at the Qi Refining Realm Perfection, and the other is at the Late-stage Golden Core, yet they actually brought a mortal to provoke the Blood Asura Gate?
Have we Blood Asura Gate been too well-behaved in Southern Frontier lately? Or is the world changing too fast?
Could it be that one of the three opponents is a powerful cultivator who is deliberately concealing his cultivation level?
But what need would a powerful being of that caliber have for a puppet army?
In their eyes, the Blood Asura Gate could be wiped out with a wave of their hand.
After being scanned by Gou Wenshan's Divine Sense, Yi Xuan and Ning Yun didn't feel much, after all, their cultivation levels were indeed too low.
Shi Zhenghao, however, looked grave and reminded Yi Xuan, "Junior brother, the enemy's experts have emerged! I just sensed the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul expert sweeping past! Moreover, my Divine Sense was completely blocked by them, so I have no idea about their strength!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan nodded. Although his Divine Sense was not as strong as that of Golden Core True Person, it was still equivalent to the Late Grain Avoidance Stage. However, just now, under his perception, it seemed that the entrance to the opponent's grand formation was blocked by something, and his Divine Sense could not penetrate it at all.
However, Yi Xuan still managed to project the scene in front of the great formation onto his face through the mechanical army's perception system.
Looking at the opposing team's lineup, Shi Zhenghao pointed to the leader and introduced, "See that? That's Gou Wenshan, the sect leader of the Blood Asura Gate! He's said to be a complete and utter Old Devil. Don't be fooled by his kind and benevolent appearance; it's said that when he was in the Golden Core Realm, he once slaughtered an entire mortal city, using the souls of all its inhabitants to forge his deadly weapon!"
Yi Xuan nodded, and at the same time took out a megaphone that had been stored away for a long time from his Storage Bag.
I remember using this megaphone once when I went to Beijing with Fatty Lin, and it's been sitting in Yi Xuan's Storage Bag ever since.
"Ahem! Listen up, you guys! You're surrounded! There's no point in resisting! I advise you to lay down your weapons and surrender! I promise you'll be left with a proper burial!"
Upon hearing Yi Xuan's shout, Shi Zhenghao looked at him with a resentful expression.
He didn't even know how to begin complaining: 'Dude! If you're not going to do this, then don't shout. At this rate, the enemy won't surrender, and you might even be boosting their morale!'
Yi Xuan turned around and saw Shi Zhenghao's expression, so he said, "Senior brother! How was it? Did I do a good job calling him 'Junior brother'?"
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. If I didn't know, I would have really thought the other side was a mortal martial arts sect that you could easily manipulate!"
Puzzled, Yi Xuan turned to look at Ning Yun, only to find her also smiling.
"Senior Brother Yi! You're even willing to leave them with a complete corpse, how could they possibly surrender?"
"Oh! Then I won't try to persuade you!"
