Chapter 660 Calculation
"These third-level ghosts are all in the middle stage. Is it just a coincidence or is it due to other reasons?" Li Chengsheng looked at the arrogant and wanton ghosts and had a strange idea in his mind.
Despite the help of the formation, the monks in the city were struggling to resist. If he didn't take action, ghosts would definitely rush in.
What awaits the mortals in the city will be a bloody massacre!
boom--
Li Chengsheng killed a group of low-level ghosts near the city wall with a casual blow. The sea of fire was fierce and the scorching temperature made the surrounding low-level ghosts retreat.
And his actions also attracted the attention of those third-order ghosts.
"Ho! Golden elixir monk! You are looking for death!"
The third-level ghosts roared in unison and rushed towards Li Chengsheng. They held magic weapons made of condensed Yin Qi and smashed at him with the force of breaking through the air.
Li Chengsheng looked solemn. If their attacks were allowed to fall, the formations on the city wall would probably be shattered. The monks, who were already weak in strength, would not be able to stop the ghost tide at all.
Even when Qing Fan and Qing Rong took action, the city would be devastated and a large number of people would die.
"well!"
In order to avoid such a tragedy, Li Chengsheng could only cast spells to resist their attack. He shot out spells one after another quickly, pouring out magic power and flowing light. A little fire appeared from his fingertips, drifted away, and grew into the wind. Make huge fire lotuses to block those Yin Qi magic weapons.
Chi!
The solar spiritual fire of the solstice and the rich yin energy of the extreme yin collided together, canceling each other out, and a thick smoke sprayed out in all directions.
When the smoke dissipated, not far in front of the city wall, there was a strange scene of a sea of fire on one side and snow on the other.
"This man is so powerful! He can actually fight against several third-level ghosts by himself." Qingrong, who witnessed all this with Shui Jing, couldn't help but sigh.
Although there is a gap in strength between the two sides, the ghost side has a numerical advantage, and with the blessing of the Yin Tide Moon, the two major advantages are superimposed, which can almost make up for the gap.
"It seems that he is really the direct disciple of a certain big force. His strength is far superior to mine. We cannot be enemies with him, we can only make friends with him." A trace of regret flashed in Qingfan's eyes.
After all, how can a good relationship be compared with getting all his wealth? But if you still want to take action when you know that your own strength is far inferior, what is the difference between that and seeking death?
But if he is injured...
Thinking of this, Qing Fan's eyes flashed, and the thoughts that had gradually dispersed gathered together again.
"Senior brother, isn't now a good time? He is at a stalemate with the ghosts. Our joining will help him break this deadlock."
But Qing Fan shook his head and said, "If I help now, I'm afraid I won't gain his favor."
After all, the situation was unfavorable just now and they didn't take action. What's the point of taking action now?
As for the excuse of saying that he is practicing cultivation and is not aware of the external situation, do he really think that he is a fool? I would even believe this.
"Why don't we help him." A dark look appeared in Qingfan's eyes, and his tone was light, but every word penetrated into Qingrong's heart.
"But if this happens, Sanhe County may not be able to defend it." Qingrong was also a little moved, but hesitant.
Because according to Qing Fan's plan, the formation was shut down at the most critical moment. Without the protection of the formation, Li Chengsheng had to concentrate on using defensive spells and was unable to attack with all his strength.
It would be great if you could be injured by a ghost.
But in this case, all the mortals in the county may become the blood food of the ghosts!
If they are more cruel and ruthless, in order to prevent the news from leaking, even if someone is lucky enough to survive, they will die in their hands!
However, if they are stationed here, their mission of protecting mortals will be considered a failure and they will be punished by the sect.
"And the sect's punishment is not light."
This is the most important point. Those mortals will die when they die. Qingrong will not care no matter how many people die.
But for a force, mortals are the basis and foundation for their continuation and growth. If there are hundreds of thousands of mortals in a county and hundreds of thousands of mortals in the entire county, if they all die at the mouth of ghosts, then it is very likely that the number of disciples they recruit every year will be Hundreds less people!
"If you and I can break through the Nascent Soul, how can the sect punish us? It will be too late to reward us by then."
Qing Fan said bewilderedly: "After the breakthrough, not only can you become a sect elder with a respected status, and you will no longer be sent to such a place with thin spiritual energy, but more importantly, your lifespan will increase greatly!"
"Junior brother, you and I only have one or two hundred years to live. If we can't break through during this period, we will have no choice but to wait for death. And opportunities like this are rare!"
Qingrong was moved! There was a faint red light in his eyes, and he said sadly: "Senior brother is absolutely right! But that method is not safe."
"Oh? What do you think, junior brother?"
A hint of cruelty appeared on the corner of Qingrong's mouth, and said: "Since I have decided to take action, I can't show mercy. Senior brother is stronger. When I find the right time, I will close the formation, and senior brother will attack with all his strength. Coupled with the attacks of the ghosts, He will definitely die!"
"Okay, okay!" Qing Fan cheered repeatedly, then changed the subject and said, "But it's safer for you and me to take action together."
Do you really think he can't see his little thoughts? I just want him to be the leader. If something happens, he will be the first to suffer!
"Brothers are still smarter." Qingrong praised with a smile, without the slightest embarrassment of having his intentions seen through.
But Li Chengsheng didn't know that the two brothers were plotting against him.
At this time, he was concentrating on dealing with ghosts.
He used the yang-contaminated flames in the sea of fire to cast spells to reduce his own mana consumption. Moreover, Li Chengsheng's target this time was not the few third-level ghosts, but the largest number of low-level ghosts!
As soon as he thought, countless flames flew out of the sea of fire. With the blessing of magic power, they turned into huge fireballs and smashed towards the ghost tide.
The purpose of his doing this was to reduce the strength of the ghosts and reduce the pressure on the monks in the city, and also to allow him to concentrate on dealing with these third-order ghosts!
After all, Li Chengsheng also needs the formation to help defend. With the formation, he can launch attacks as much as he wants without distracting himself from defense.
The formation requires people to maintain it. If Qingfan and Qingrong don't take action, these monks are the best candidates.
But speaking of it, are those two really not planning to take action?
Li Chengsheng felt a little strange in his heart, but he knew that the monks guarding the city also had a mission!
If the city is destroyed, they will be punished by their respective forces!
But now that he was in the middle of a fierce battle, he couldn't afford to think too much.
