Chapter 521 Escape!

Chapter 521 Escape!

"Oh~, Fellow Daoist Zhuo, please don't get angry."

"At this time, the sect is also in difficulties, so we should be more considerate."

"Since there will be no reinforcements in a short time, we should work together to tide over the difficulties and stick to Jinge City."

Taoist Cangyun stood there blankly, his brows also furrowed.

Although he said this, it was obvious that this person also had a lot of resentment.

Understanding is one thing, accepting is another.

"snort!"

Hearing this, Zhuo Mengzhen snorted coldly and said a few more angry words.

But I finally stopped slapping the table, otherwise the table in the conference hall would be in ruins. I'm afraid it's not enough.

She looked at Liu Yu, whose eyes were lowered and silent, feeling slightly depressed.

With the other party's character of not being able to afford early benefits, shouldn't he be so calm after suffering such "unfair" treatment?

But how could this woman know that Liu Yu had already begun to show off and was ready to "retreat".

Hold on to Jinge City for five years? He has no hope at all!

It's not that it's impossible, but the probability of sticking to it for five years is too low, too low, and the risk is too high.

But even so, Liu Yu had no special opinion about the monks who persisted.

It is extremely valuable to persist to the end, but it is also wise to give up at the right time!

After venting their dissatisfaction, the four of them talked to each other and began to discuss the matter of defending the city.

The embarrassing situation in Jinge City is just a small microcosm of the full-scale outbreak of the beast tide.

There are not many gathering places for immortal cultivators that are in a better situation than Jin Ge City, but they are extremely rare. Most of them are gathering places that are in a worse situation.

Facing the beast tide, the strength of the five major sects is still too weak.

Only a few months after the beast tide broke out, countless small and medium-sized gathering places were destroyed, and the people were displaced and slaughtered by the monster beasts.

Even large fairy cities like Jin Ge City were destroyed, and entire cities of immortal cultivators died.

As for the mortals, there were tens of millions of casualties, and they were helpless against the monsters.

When the news spread throughout the Seven-Nation Alliance, the immortal cultivators in many countries were speechless. They had a more intuitive understanding of the dangers of monster beasts and the power of the monster clan.

For a time, even the agenda of jointly dispatching troops has accelerated a lot.

However, with the support of the five Nascent Soul sects, Chu State's situation is far from the worst among the countries adjacent to the Hengduan Mountains.

Some small countries that only have the power of the Golden Core have lost most of their territory in just a few months. Several small countries have even been destroyed, and the entire country has become a paradise for monsters.

Someone was heartbroken and wrote a poem: The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind flutters the catkins, and the life experience is ups and downs, and the rain hits the trees.

…

After making the decision to defend Jinge City, the four major forces actively mobilized and led the monks in the city to resist the monsters tenaciously.

Time flies, and several months have passed, reaching the eighth month when the beast tide broke out.

"Boom boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

The roars of monks, the roars of monsters, or the roar of magic weapons and spells, all mixed together with a loud killing sound that shook the sky.

All kinds of auras are shining, and even though it is night, the surrounding area of ​​Jinge City is as bright as day.

Beads of sweat appeared, gathering into a thin stream of water, winding down from his forehead to his eyes, blocking part of his vision.

However, Yan Kai didn't have time to wipe it off. He kept pinching the magic weapon with his hands, driving a golden flying sword and a high-grade spiritual weapon to attack an earth rhinoceros in the beast tide.

"ding ding ding"

The golden flying sword finally broke through the Earth Rhino's innate spell blockage and landed on its head, but it caused no effective damage and left only two shallow white marks.

This earth rhinoceros is at the peak of the second level, and it is an earth-attribute monster that is good at defense. It cannot be affected by ordinary spiritual weapons.

The second level peak, in the current beast tide, already belongs to the mid-to-high-end combat power.

Yan Kai couldn't sit idly by, otherwise he would be allowed to take the lead and lead the low-level monsters to charge, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Although the third-level top-level "Five Elements Rotation Array" is strong enough, if the number of monsters is large enough, it will still be overwhelmed and cannibalized.

At a glance, every monk on the tower had obvious fatigue on their faces.

But facing the overwhelming tide of beasts, he still dared not relax at all.

After persisting until the eighth month, the attack of the monster tide became more and more fierce. I don’t know how many low-level monsters were killed and injured, but it still seemed endless!

The spiritual stone reserves of the four major forces have reached an extremely dangerous level, and they have to reduce the use of special magic weapons such as demon hunting crossbows and divine crystal cannons again.

Only in the most critical moments will they be used to put out fires.

What is gratifying is that in such a high-intensity battle, all the monks have grown a lot, otherwise they would not be able to persist now.

Even facing the powerful power of third-level demon cultivators, most of them can display their strength stably.

"Sure enough, difficulties and tribulations are the best way for people to grow."

“We have learned as much as we have experienced.”

In his spiritual consciousness, he observed the performance of many monks, and Liu Yu secretly sighed in his heart.

In the past few months, he has witnessed many monks grow from fearful "newbies" to steadfast "old birds".

But in a battle of wits, you can't help but be distracted!

Liu Yu gathered her thoughts, activated the Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear wholeheartedly, and fought back and forth with the Snow Spirit Leopard.

From time to time, he would pull out his hand and release a third-level fire attribute spell to prevent a third-level wolf monster from destroying the formation.

That's right, eight months have passed. Not only has the beast tide become more and more fierce, but the demon beast side has also gained one more golden elixir-level combat force.

Liu Yu, Zhuo Mengzhen and other four people have to deal with six third-level monsters!

With two more golden elixirs, if they fought outside, they would have already been completely defeated.

Fortunately, there are formations to protect me, and the Five Elements Rotation Formation is strong enough, so I can persist until now.

“Bang bang bang”

The third-level green wolf's mouth flashed with aura, and several wind blades about ten feet in size were spat out in an instant, and they quickly landed on the colorful light screen, causing waves of waves.

Circles of water-like ripples spread out, and even the formation showed considerable fluctuations.

This wolf moves extremely fast, and even suddenly bursts into extreme speed. It can even dodge spells, giving Cangyun and others a headache.

Fortunately, Qing Lang is only at the early stage of the third level. Even if he uses his innate magical powers at all costs, it will be difficult to shake the formation.

Even if the rock turtle is added, it is still within the tolerance of the Five Elements Rotation Array.

Faced with this helpless situation, many monks have long been accustomed to it and can only try their best to exert their own strength.

As for the rest, it can only be left to high-level monks to deal with.

Liu Yu had a focused look on his face, but there was no disturbance in his heart. He was ready to escape at any time, and he was not worried about the future of Jinge City at all.

He knew that if there were no reinforcements, judging from the current situation in Jinge City, it would only be a matter of time before the city was defeated.

"Boom!"

The monks were fighting against the monsters, and the roar around Jinge City was endless. Even dozens of miles away, the sound could be faintly heard.

Every spell released consumes part of the mana and energy.

For most monks, every minute and every second is a kind of torture.

However, among the crowd, there were also a few militants who not only did not worry about the future, but instead enjoyed the battle with excitement on their faces.

After holding on for three days and three nights, the beast tide finally receded temporarily.

Under the setting sun, thousands of monks were sitting on the ground, and many monks were sitting on the ground breathing heavily.

While holding the spirit stone in his hand to restore his magic power, his eyes were filled with confusion.

Looking around, you can clearly see the ferocious and ugly faces of monsters and their predatory eyes.

Where is the future? !

Where is the path to immortality?

…

Time flies, and it has been two years since the beast tide broke out.

The land of Chu State, which has a long and ancient history, is already devastated and war-torn. It is several times more cruel than the battle of Yan State.

Monsters are not bound by benevolence and morality. In their eyes, humans are just living creatures, no different from other beasts, and can also be used to satisfy hunger.

But for monsters, eating meat to satisfy their hunger is just an instinct of life, and it doesn't seem to be considered cruel?

Under the increasingly fierce offensive of the beast tide, Jinge Immortal City persisted for two years, and today it is close to its limit.

Despite his desperate efforts, no reinforcements arrived.

There is no teleportation array in the city, which means that all the monks' escape route is cut off, and they can only fight to the bitter end!

But as the battle continues to this day, even with a special team responsible for ideological work, an atmosphere of despair is gradually spreading.

"ding ding"

Liu Yu stood at the highest point of the city tower, holding the magic formula with both hands quickly, and clashed with the Snow Spirit Leopard again and again.

evenly matched

By this time, the city was running out of ammunition, food, and spiritual stones. Many monks were aware of this problem, and he was naturally prepared.

Liu Yu handed the Dunfeng Zhou to Bai Hu, and gave him a talisman and several "Golden Wind Scattering Talismans", asking him to take several dead men and his maid Wen Caiyi to act accordingly.

As for whether they can escape, it all depends on their luck. He is neither a god nor a nanny, so it is difficult to guarantee their safety at this time.

Everything has been properly arranged, just waiting for the final moment to come.

Liu Yu's face was solemn, and during the fight, he still had his consciousness from time to time, quietly observing the two Han Tianying.

One is a late third-order demon cultivator who appeared at the beginning, and the other arrived just four months ago. His cultivation level is only in the middle of third-order, and his body shape is much "petite", with a wingspan of only about 14 feet.

Two years have passed, and the number of third-order demon cultivators surrounding Jin Ge City has reached eight!

"It looks like this is a female?"

Liu Yu flashed this idea.

After a long period of observation, he roughly understood the strength of all third-level demon cultivators, if they didn't hide much.

After estimation, after activating the life-saving charms issued by the sect, the only ones that could catch up with his escape speed were these two third-level flying monsters.

So as long as you don't get targeted by the two Cold Sky Eagles, you will most likely be able to escape from danger without any effort!

"So, as long as you are not targeted by two cold sky eagles, the risk is minimal."

Liu Yu thought silently, continued to retain his strength, and fought "back and forth" with the Snow Spirit Leopard, looking like he was at his best.

"boom!!!"

The five-color light curtain inspired by the Five Elements Rotation Array was trembling, and the five-color spiritual light dimmed by less than half, as if it might break at any time.

That huge roar made even the Golden Core cultivator's eyes jump when he heard it, and he was secretly worried that it would be shattered the next moment.

There were eight third-level demon cultivators on the monster side, twice as many as the cultivators defending the city. This caused Liu Yu and Zhuo Mengzhen to falter in their defense.

The advantage of the attacking side has become so great that even with the Five Elements Rotation Formation, it cannot offset it.

Most of the attacks from the demon cultivators from all directions can fall on the formation.

After the spiritual stones are exhausted, special magical weapons such as the demon-hunting crossbow and the divine crystal cannon cannot be used. With only three or four thousand monks defending the city, how can they stop the overwhelming tide of beasts?

I saw that the sky and the ground were densely filled with monsters, and they could already attack the formation.

Claws, palms, monster collision, talent spells

The attack of a single low-level monster is certainly nothing to the third-level top real person, but when the number reaches a certain level, it still triggers a qualitative change.

Looking down from the city tower, I saw countless monsters like ants, constantly gathering and clinging to the colorful light curtain, shaking the huge formation that enveloped the whole city little by little.

Under the scale of tens of thousands, even Jinge City, which is more than thirty feet tall, does not appear "tall".

The power of quantitative changes to lead to qualitative changes will move even the golden elixir monks!

Under the double blow of the third-level demon cultivators and low-level demonic beasts, the colorful light curtain became increasingly dim and crumbling, threatening to break at any time.

The strong uneasiness suddenly intensified in the hearts of all the monks!

But they have no choice but to grit their teeth and continue to persevere and make a last-ditch effort!

Red blood stains yellow sand,

Youth turns to white hair,

If you are a true hero,

How could you be afraid? !

Under the setting sun, this scene seemed to be frozen for eternity, and an indescribable tragic atmosphere spread over it!

At this moment, civilization is completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with barbarism!

But those thousands of figures are still standing here, and they may also be buried here!

Without the body wrapped in horse leather, it can be understood from the hungry eyes of countless monsters that the bones of three to four thousand monks and tens of thousands of mortals will be gone!

"."

Looking at this scene, Liu Yu's eyes were in a daze for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses, and the shocking shouts of killing entered his ears again.

He did not relent, nor did he have any intention of standing up and turning the tide.

When the general trend strikes, an individual's power becomes insignificant, unless he is an immortal cultivator at the level of transforming gods and refining emptiness.

He is not a hero, but a selfish and imperfect ordinary monk who only cares about his own safety and has difficulty empathizing with other monks.

Observing the situation of Jinge City with his spiritual consciousness, Liu Yu realized that the city would be broken today.

"After two years of persistence, can't you finally hold on?"

"That's good. You don't have to suffer so much. You'll be free from now on."

He shook his head slightly and no longer thought about the fate of the monks and mortals in the city.

The magic power in the body is secretly circulating, and a ray of spiritual consciousness is placed in the storage ring. The "Ten Thousand Soul Flags" and life-saving charms can be sacrificed with just a thought.

In the nine large acupoints, the magic power of the Lie Yang is ready to go out, and it can enter the "star true body" state at any time and exert its strongest strength.

Liu Yu was dressed in a black robe, with his hood hanging down behind his back and a broken sword hanging from his waist. He was ready to escape and was able to cope with any changes.

Even if he is surrounded by heavy siege, he still remains calm.

"ding" "bang"

He even secretly withdrew part of his mana, as if he was running out of mana due to excessive consumption, causing the Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear to move closer to the city wall.

"Ho ho"

The Snow Spirit Leopard roared happily, thinking that it had finally defeated that hateful human monk.

He had lost face at the beginning and had already regarded Liu Yu as his "prey". After the city was broken, he vowed to hunt him down to the end!

Although third-level monsters have advanced intelligence and are capable of complex thinking, they are not necessarily very smart. There are still many monster cultivators with well-developed limbs and simple minds.

Just like humans, the intelligence of the same species may vary greatly.

Obviously, Xue Lingbao didn't notice Liu Yu's little move.

…

Time passed slowly, from day to night, and the attack and defense of Jinge City was still in full swing.

Behind the shining aura, each monk behaves differently.

Some people responded positively and resolutely, wishing to drain the last bit of mana from their bodies and kill demons to protect the city.

Some people looked around with flickering eyes, secretly conserving their magic power and preparing to escape after the city was broken.

As the war progresses, the situation has become very clear, and the attitudes of all the monks are polarized.

Either positive or negative.

In Liu Yu's observation, Zhuo Mengzhen and Sima Yong also retained their strength, but their performance was obviously not as good as before, and their hearts were no longer on the battlefield.

Even the sanctimonious Taoist Cangyun was no exception. He did not dare to sacrifice the magic weapon too far, so that he could take it back at any time.

There is nothing wrong with doing this. Liu Yu had no intention of ridiculing him.

After all, everyone has tried their best. If we can't hold on, we can't be buried with this city, right?

Cultivation of immortality is for eternal life, not for temporary motivation!

However, seeing the small actions of the three people, Liu Yu's heart moved, and she suddenly had a new idea.

"Maybe this would be better"

A thought occurred to him.

In the air outside the city, looking at the crumbling "Five Elements Rotation Formation", a light flashed in the sharp eagle eyes of the late third-level Han Tianying.

"Bah~!"

Its loud and long eagle call spread to every corner outside the city, as if it was conveying some message.

Then, the two Cold Sky Eagles, one big and one small, flapped their wings, and hundreds of black feathers as sharp as daggers gathered together, shooting towards the crumbling colorful light curtain.

"Ouch~" "Roar~"

As if responding to something, several completely different beast calls sounded among the beasts one after another.

The next moment, six third-level demon cultivators responded to Han Tianying's call and launched the strongest attack at the same time.

Sparkling sharp claws, a huge beam of light one or two feet thick, and densely packed arc-shaped wind blades

Every attack contains power that would make ordinary monks despair!

But before they were too numb to react, the strongest blows from several third-level demon cultivators had already landed on the crumbling colorful light screen.

"boom!!!"

Several loud roars rang out in succession, and Yan Kai and the others ran away after hearing the sound, with a look of disbelief flashing in their eyes.

I saw the last trace of the colorful light curtain dimming in an instant, turning into dots of brilliance that continued to dissipate.

Immediately afterwards, a storm of spiritual energy swept through the city, and colorful winds blew throughout the city.

“Bang bang bang”

There were continuous explosions in hundreds of places inside and outside the city, and most of the arrays that contained spiritual veins and earth veins were implicated and destroyed.

The third-level top-level "Five Elements Rotation Formation" has been breached!

Jinge City, which is about thirty feet high and stretches for more than ten miles, is exposed to the sight of monsters, just like a beautiful woman with half-undressed clothes for you to pick.

"Roar!!!"

The next moment, the roars of various monster beasts sounded at the same time, overwhelmingly charging into the city.

There was a monster leaping tens of feet, almost as high as the city wall, excitedly scanning the city wall to select "dinner".

In the sky, there are also demonic birds swooping down, eager to participate in this feast!

Looking from a distance, countless beast shadows can be seen further, and it won't take long for Jinge City to be submerged.

But they are fast, and some monks are faster!

Less than half an instant after the Five Elements Rotation Formation was broken, Taoist Cangyun used a flying magic weapon that looked like wings, and flew away in the direction of Guangzhou, where the sect was located, with an escape speed that was even faster than that of the late Jindan.

"On weekdays he looks sanctimonious and cares about the country and the people."

"But in critical moments, he can run faster than anyone else."

"Damn you know-it-all!"

Zhuo Mengzhen cursed in his heart, but he didn't slow down much. He took out a spiritual talisman to activate it and quickly fled towards Jingzhou.

In the blink of an eye, you are already miles away!

This woman's escape speed at this time was actually much faster than that of a mid-stage golden elixir monk, and she was also well prepared.

Sima Yong's movements were also not slow. He activated the spiritual talisman to bless himself and fled in a certain direction.

Thinking of the clansmen in the city, various emotions such as hesitation, pain, and struggle flashed through his eyes, but he did not stop in the end.

In less than a moment, the three of them flew a distance of ten to several miles.

At this time, Liu Yu seemed to have recovered from the accident, and "hurriedly" used his magic power to rise into the sky, turning into a blue light and flying towards Qingzhou.

PS: Today I was chatting with some old friends I haven’t contacted for many years, and I wasted some time unknowingly. I’m sorry, fellow Taoists.

But the update time is still 5 or 6 p.m., and the author didn’t mess up!
