Chapter 632: The Battle Begins, the Soul Devouring Formation
The people who came were none other than the Golden Butterfly Fairy, the Fire Crow True Man, the Golden Bull True Man, and the Blue Butterfly Fairy.
Seeing that these four people looked hurried and each of them had a look of deep worry on his face, Chen Xuan felt something was wrong.
"Senior brothers and sisters, what exactly happened?" Chen Xuan said.
He has been practicing in seclusion during this period.
If Chen Xuan had not noticed that these four people were coming together, he would not have been able to come out for a while.
Right now, he really had no idea what was happening in the Seven Kingdoms City.
"Junior brother, during the time you were in seclusion, Master Hulan launched intermittent probing attacks."
"These small-scale battles can naturally be handled by the cultivators of our Seven Kingdoms City."
"But just now, a large number of Jindan stage Hulan mages appeared under the wall of Qiguo City."
"Moreover, they launched an attack on the Seven Kingdoms City from the four directions of southeast, northwest and northeast at the same time."
"From the looks of it, the real war is probably about to begin."
The Golden Butterfly Fairy frowned.
From her expression, Chen Xuan could tell that Master Hulan’s massive attack was most likely true.
"Master Hulan has not launched a large-scale attack since his last defeat. This attack should not be a tentative attack. If so, we should hurry up and go to support him." Chen Xuan said.
Everyone nodded, and together with Chen Xuan, they rushed towards the South City Gate guarded by the Yuling Sect and the Miaoyin Sect.
However, when Chen Xuan arrived at the top of the city and saw the situation outside the city, his expression changed drastically.
"Why are there so many Hulan Masters in the early stage of Jindan? Moreover, what these people are practicing should not be Master Hulan's skills, but magic skills!"
Chen Xuan frowned, and a bad feeling suddenly emerged from the depths of his heart.
Looking down, there were those Jindan stage mages Hulan who kept attacking.
Chen Xuan's expression became extremely solemn.
hum!
The divine thoughts spread out rapidly.
Everything within a radius of more than a thousand miles was within Chen Xuan's sight.
At this moment, Chen Xuan was surprised to find that all these Hulan magicians in the early stage of Jindan were concentrated in the direction of the South City Gate.
As for other places in the Seven Kingdoms City, although there were also Master Hulan in the Jindan stage who took action, the number was not so large.
"It seems that Master Hulan still regards the South Gate as the focus of attack."
"In this case, we cannot let these Hulan mages succeed."
Chen Xuan sneered secretly.
With a thought, he changed his appearance and aura, then blended into the crowd and started fighting.
boom!
Chen Xuan threw a punch, and the Hulan mage, who was in the early stage of Jindan, was hit directly in the vitals by his punch.
However, this Hulan mage, who is in the early stage of Jindan and exudes a strong demonic aura, has a very strong physical defense.
Even after taking Chen Xuan's attack head-on, he was still safe and sound.
"court death!"
Master Hulan, who was in the early stage of Jindan, cursed angrily and rushed towards Chen Xuan frantically.
call!
A strong demonic energy emerged from his body.
The moment the fist was swung, the extremely pure demonic energy turned into a demon dragon several meters long and pounced directly towards Chen Xuan.
"Humph!"
Chen Xuan snorted coldly, and his figure disappeared out of thin air.
When he appeared again, he was already above the head of Master Hulan, who was in the early stage of Jindan.
This time, Chen Xuan had no intention of holding back.
With a thought, the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sword was activated directly.
hum!
An ancient dragon-subduing sword shot out with incredible sharpness.
With a whoosh, it pierced into Master Hulan's head.
Master Hulan, who was in the early stage of Jindan, fell to the ground and died instantly without even a scream.
However, his body turned into a pool of blood in an instant.
"This... is not right. These people are probably not ordinary Hulan mages!"
Chen Xuan looked secretly shocked.
But he didn't have conclusive evidence.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Xuan rushed towards another Master Hulan who was in the early stage of Jindan.
hum!
An ancient dragon-subduing sword turned into a residual image and disappeared.
When it appeared again, the Ancient Dragon Subduing Sword had already pierced into the Dantian of another cultivator in the early stage of the Jindan stage.
boom!
Master Hulan, who was in the early stage of Jindan, was also killed by Chen Xuan in an instant.
However, this person's body instantly turned into a pool of blood.
This made Chen Xuan frown.
After thinking seriously for a while, Chen Xuan didn't know what he remembered, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Quick, retreat!"
Chen Xuan shouted loudly.
He activated the thirty-six ancient dragon-subduing swords and launched a fierce attack on the nearby Jindan stage mage Hulan.
Almost instantly, the powerful men from the Yuling Sect who heard Chen Xuan's voice retreated towards the Seven Kingdoms City.
However, the strong men from Miaoyin Sect still fought fiercely with these Hulan magicians who were in the early stage of Jindan.
But at this time, those Hulan masters who were in the early stage of Jindan did not join forces to besiege the Jindan stage powerhouses of Miaoyin Sect, but instead gathered together rapidly.
No one knew what these Hulan masters said, but after a moment, each of these Hulan masters who were in the early stage of Jindan had an extra formation flag in their hands.
hum!
The moment the demonic energy was rapidly injected into the formation flag, a dark formation light curtain quickly rose into the air.
Soon, the area within a radius of over a hundred miles was covered by a black light curtain.
Chen Xuan clearly felt that the moment the black formation light curtain appeared, the spiritual energy of the world around him was rapidly decreasing.
"This is……"
Chen Xuan looked surprised.
His spiritual thoughts spread out rapidly, carefully feeling the flow of spiritual energy.
After a moment, Chen Xuan was surprised to find that all the disappearing spiritual energy was actually absorbed by the dark light curtain of the formation.
"Could it be the Soul Devouring Formation?"
Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically.
The Soul Devouring Formation!
As the name suggests, this is a powerful formation that can devour spiritual energy.
Once the immortal cultivators were trapped in the Soul Devouring Array, without a constant supply of spiritual energy, they would not be able to hold out for long relying solely on the spiritual power in their dantian.
The moment they heard Chen Xuan's voice, the expressions of all the strong men changed drastically.
"It is indeed the Soul Devouring Formation. These damned Hulan mages actually secretly set up the Soul Devouring Formation. Are they planning to capture us all in one fell swoop?"
"Quick, don't just stand there, attack immediately. Killing more Hulan mages may weaken the power of the Soul Devouring Formation."
"Hey, this time the trouble is not small. I saw the strong men from the three thousand major clans rushing to support us."
Everyone smiled bitterly.
But right now, no one had a better way to solve the Soul Devouring Array.
He could only keep attacking the Hulan mages who were holding formation flags.
Each of these people is an immortal cultivator in the early stage of Jindan.
Moreover, each of them is a demon cultivator!
Looking at these guys falling one after another under the attacks of the crowd, Chen Xuan felt more and more uneasy.
"Something is wrong. These Hulan mages are at least Jindan-stage masters. But they were killed so easily by us. What on earth is the Hulan mages thinking?"
"Also, these Hulan Masters who were in the early stage of Jindan are very strange. They are at the same realm, and after being killed, they all turned into a pool of blood."
"Could it be that these people are just puppets used by Master Hulan to confuse us?"
The more Chen Xuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
As time went by, more and more Hulan Masters rushed up from the back.
Upon seeing this, Mage Hulan, who was in charge of the Soul Devouring Formation, revealed a grim smile.
Soon, the demonic energy in their bodies became extremely violent at this moment.
After a moment, a series of sharp explosions suddenly sounded from the void.
Boom!
A wizard named Hulan, who was in the early stage of Jindan, chose to self-destruct.
The terrifying shock wave directly attacked the protective formation light curtain in front of Chen Xuan and others.
"not good!"
Everyone looked shocked.
But at this time, no one chose to retreat.
Everyone spontaneously injected extremely pure spiritual power into the light curtain of the formation above their heads, trying to resist the impact of Master Hulan's self-explosion.
boom!
The terrifying attack wave hit the light curtain of the formation.
Soon, it was completely blocked by the light curtain of the formation.
However, several terrifying shock waves came one after another.
The terrifying force smashed onto the formation's light curtain like a mountain.
Chen Xuan and others worked together to inject spiritual power into the light curtain of the formation, but before they could react, they were blown away by the horrific shock wave.
"Oh no! These damn Hulan mages are actually using self-destruction to try to destroy the protective formation!"
"I understand now. Those Hulan mages in the early stage of Jindan are clearly bait. Their existence is to isolate the formation from absorbing spiritual energy, and then use self-destruction to destroy the formation."
"Fellow Daoists, be careful. Another group of Hulan Masters in the early stage of Jindan have self-destructed."
boom!
Boom boom!
……
Violent explosions continued to be heard from outside the South City Gate.
The protective formation above the South City Gate was also crumbling at this moment.
The outermost layer of protective formation even made a crisp crackling sound at this moment.
Subsequently, countless fine cracks appeared on the surface of the formation's light curtain.
Soon, the formation's light curtain was completely shattered.
Chen Xuan and others ignored their injuries and were injecting spiritual power into the light curtain of the formation that had not yet been broken.
Everyone knew that if the protective formation above Seven Kingdoms City was completely destroyed, it would be impossible for them alone to withstand the attack of Master Hulan.
"Everyone hold on. Reinforcements will be here soon."
"I've lived a long life, and I've had enough. I'm going to fight these bastards."
“Haha, I just killed three Hulan magicians in the early stage of Jindan, which is enough for me. Even if I die in battle this time, I will have no regrets.”
All the strong men took action one after another, injecting spiritual power into the light curtain of the formation while continuously attacking Master Hulan in the distance.
death!
At this moment, these strong men can no longer pose any threat to them.
While Chen Xuan injected spiritual power into the light curtain of the formation above his head, he also paid attention to the changes on the battlefield.
It was seen that among those Hulan mages in the early Jindan stage who presided over the Soul-Devouring Formation, only a few were left in the waves of self-explosion.
But Master Hulan, who arrived later, quickly activated the Soul Devouring Array, intending to continue using the method of blocking spiritual energy to weaken the power of the protective array.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan frowned immediately.
"If there is no other way, just destroy the Soul Devouring Formation. Even if we hold out until reinforcements arrive, it will be meaningless."
"In that case, I have to do something!"
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's figure flashed and disappeared rapidly on the spot. When he appeared again, he was already among a large group of Hulan magicians in the Jindan stage.
