Chapter 142 Great Battle! Black Cloud Taoist Makes His Move
The outermost array of the crowd was activated, and the cultivators, urged on by more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators, left the array.
After everyone left the formation, the rear formation immediately closed, completely blocking everyone outside.
Naturally, Daoist Heiyun himself had also left the formation. If he had stayed inside the formation, these cultivators would have likely gone berserk in an instant.
At this moment, five or six cultivators appeared to the left and right of Daoist Heiyun. These cultivators were all at least at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and judging from their attire, they should be the true high-ranking members of Guiyun Sect.
Dozens of flying boats also appeared in the sky.
The cultivators below also displayed their various skills, some taking flight, others retrieving magical artifacts or spirit beasts…
Looking at the densely packed cultivators around him, Xia Yuhui felt a little relieved. In fact, if no cultivators above the Golden Core stage had intervened in this battle, they would have undoubtedly won, since the beast horde had already lost most of its members, and the balance of power between the two sides had been disrupted.
Although victory is certain, it is unknown how many lives will be lost to achieve it, and everyone fears that they themselves will be among those who cannot return.
Before the battle even began, the battlefield was already bustling with activity. There were the sounds of cultivators praying, the humming of magic swords and the uneasy cries of spirit beasts, as well as various spells cast by the third-tier grand formation...
"Prepare!"
With this sound, the great formation that had trapped the beast tide for two days was finally opened.
The demonic beasts surged forward like a tidal wave, only to be met with thousands upon thousands of sharp spells and attacks from the flying boats. Within moments, the initial horde was wiped out.
However, the beasts behind them did not back down. They bypassed the corpses of their companions and continued to attack. Some of the extremely fast demonic beasts had already reached the human cultivators.
Soon, the two sides were locked in a chaotic battle. Due to the overwhelming advantage of the human cultivators, the battle quickly became one-sided. Of course, due to the sheer scale of the conflict, many human cultivators also suffered casualties.
When Xia Yuhui spotted an extremely fast monster appearing in the rear, he was overjoyed and immediately went to meet it in battle.
At this moment, Xia Yuhui was overjoyed. Although his opponent was incredibly fast, he was only a mid-tier second-level Shadow Explosion Cat. He could defeat him in a dozen rounds.
However, he was prepared to fight it for two days and two nights.
The supervisory team not far behind him could only watch helplessly as they witnessed this scene.
Even if Xia Yuhui is strong, he is still only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. It is perfectly normal for a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator to fight against a mid-second-tier demon beast, and they have no right to interfere.
Those top-tier combatants also joined the battle. Their mission was to eliminate the demonic beasts that posed the greatest threat to human cultivators. Of course, if they could unleash a few powerful spells during the battle, that would be the icing on the cake.
Xia Yuhui was secretly delighted to see this, knowing that as long as the battle continued, he would remain safe. However, the battlefield is ever-changing, and an unexpected event soon occurred.
Five or six flying demonic beasts swooped down from the sky like lightning and launched a fierce attack on Xia Yuhui.
Xia Yuhui was immediately panicked, because the demonic beast with the strongest demonic aura above was actually a late-stage second-tier demon.
And not far from him, near the formation, more than fifty second-tier demonic beasts had already appeared.
Without hesitation, Xia Yuhui immediately used his lightning escape technique to flee to the center of the crowd. These demonic beasts were clearly planning something; the situation was complex and unpredictable, beyond his control, so he had no choice but to retreat.
While fleeing, he had already decided that since the rear was impassable, he would have no choice but to head to the center.
Now, the danger at the rear is actually greater than at the front, so the center is the safest place.
Thinking of this, Xia Yuhui immediately fled.
The late-stage second-tier demon that had been targeting him stopped its pursuit after Xia Yuhui wisely fled, and instead continued to attack the surrounding cultivators.
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred. A group of cultivators still inside the formation suddenly died without warning and collapsed to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, two old men suddenly appeared within the formation. Upon witnessing this scene, the two old men were utterly horrified, for in their sight appeared three demonic beasts, all of which were late-stage second-tier demons.
Clearly, they must have infiltrated the market through some means. But why were most of the cultivators in the market absent, yet these demonic beasts still managed to break in?
There is only one possibility, and that is to destroy the great formation.
Sure enough, not long after, the protective light barrier over the entire market disappeared without a trace, and within Xia Yuhui's spiritual sense, a great battle between the three great demons and the two old men appeared.
Furthermore, according to Xia Yuhui's observation, these three demonic beasts were clearly no ordinary beings, because he could tell at a glance that their bloodlines were extraordinary.
After the great formation was broken, all the spells in the sky also dissipated. Now, this war can only rely on the human cultivators themselves, as the formation they depended on has vanished.
"court death!"
Just then, the Black Cloud Taoist, his face contorted with rage, sped back from the front lines of the battlefield, his target being none other than these three demonic beasts.
When Xia Yu saw the arrival of the Black Cloud Taoist, he did not choose to continue fleeing, but instead sought out a nearby demon beast to confront it.
"Fellow cultivators, you must not let these three beasts escape. Anyone who performs meritorious service will be richly rewarded!"
After speaking, Daoist Heiyun took out a palm-leaf fan and attacked the three demonic beasts. Daoist Heiyun's combat strength was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. Before long, the three demonic beasts, which had extraordinary bloodlines and could even speak human language, were defeated and forced to retreat repeatedly.
Xia Yuhui, who was watching from afar, was also astonished after witnessing the Black Cloud Taoist's methods. Although he knew the Black Cloud Taoist's strength, he did not know that this person was so powerful.
It's likely that Daoist Heiyun's cultivation level is already nearing that critical point. If he were given a Golden Core, he might be able to immediately begin breaking through to the Golden Core realm.
At this moment, fierce battles have broken out both in front and behind, so the center of the human race is the safest place right now. However, Xia Yuhui is eager to go there because he wants to obtain the two indestructible lightning bolts in the hands of the Black Cloud Taoist.
These two undying bolts of lightning were the main materials for him to refine his natal spiritual weapon, so he could not give them up.
Xia Yuhui then began to exert his power, directly annihilating all the second-tier demonic beasts around him.
However, he had no intention of helping Black Cloud Taoist. With his current strength, going to help would only be a pointless death.
The higher one's cultivation level, the faster the battle can be decided. After some time, the three demonic beasts were defeated by Black Cloud Daoist, with one dead and the other fleeing.
Xia Yuhui seized the opportunity and immediately stopped the most seriously injured python. However, when Xia Yuhui got closer, he discovered that there were two small dots on the top of the python's head.
This immediately reminded Xia Yuhui of the third-tier python, but regret was useless at this point, so he had no choice but to face it head-on.
He chose this monster because it was covered in blood, and judging from its condition, even if Xia Yuhui didn't attack it, it would be difficult for it to escape the encirclement of the surrounding crowd.
