Chapter 175 Breaking the Formation
Ever since the Lingshi mine was discovered in Chaoyin Mountain, Zhang Leqian had anticipated the possibility of a war. Once a conflict breaks out between sects, the matter is not a matter for one family, but a matter of life and death for the entire Taicheng County family.
Once the power of each major family is dispersed, it will be easy for the enemy to defeat them one by one. Therefore, the Xiuxian family in Taicheng County has almost no choice but to move closer to the Wu family, which is the most powerful.
If this battle can be won, everything lost can be taken back. If the monks of the Hongshan Sect kill one of them today, they will be able to take revenge tenfold and a hundredfold after winning.
If this war failed, the Zhang family would probably have to flee as a family. Not only would they have to abandon the mortals in the family, but even the monks would suffer heavy casualties.
As the patriarch of a family, Zhang Leqian felt extremely painful when he abandoned his family members under such circumstances. But for the sake of the overall situation, he still ordered the monks in his family to abandon Lingshan, take the family’s wealth and hide it in the barren mountains, while he took Qingchan and flew directly to Yanlai Peak.
After Zhang Leqian and his two men arrived, the two foundation-building monks of the Liu family almost made the same decision, dismissed the family monks, and came to Yanlai Peak in person to rescue them.
There are five foundation-building monks in the Wu family. In addition to the patriarch Wu Xiangjie who is in Chaoyin Mountain, there are four foundation-building monks guarding the family. In addition, four foundation-building monks from the Zhang and Liu families are coming to help, and there are more than 200 low-level monks. The cooperation of the monks can be regarded as a very powerful force.
Yanlai Peak has been the mountain gate that the Wu family has operated for many years, especially after Wu Sixeng opened the Zifu. With his help, the Wu family has cultivated third-level high-grade spiritual veins on Yanlai Peak.
On top of this spiritual vein, the Wu family has also opened up more than a hundred acres of spiritual land. As long as it is defended, it will be enough for the Wu family to be self-sufficient.
As soon as the Hongshan Sect’s foundation-building monks arrived, the Wu family immediately launched a mountain-protecting formation.
The Wu family’s mountain-protecting formation is called the One Yuan Four Elephant Formation. It is a third-level high-grade formation. To fully exert its power, at least five foundation-building monks are required to activate this formation.
The foundation-building monks from the Zhang family and the Liu family almost abandoned their families and came here. At this time, there were already eight foundation-building monks on Yanlai Peak. Counting the more than 200 Qi-training monks who assisted, they were enough to exert their great power in protecting the mountain. The array is 100% powerful.
More than twenty rays of sword light arrived at Yanlai Peak in almost no particular order, and soon attacked the Wu family’s mountain gate.
All the buildings outside the Wu family’s mountain gate have been abandoned, and all mortals have been released into the mountains and forests to fend for themselves. The monks have gathered to guard the mountain gate.
Seeing that preparations were made on Yanlai Peak, the foundation-building monks of Hongshan Sect naturally would not go to waste. They sacrificed their magic weapons one after another and began to besiege the mountain gate from all directions.
Qing Chan and the patriarch Zhang Leqian guarded the east side. One of them built the sixth floor of the foundation, and the other built the second floor of the foundation. They were not weak among the monks guarding the four directions. There were thirty qi-training monks who cooperated with them to guard the formation. The remaining people.
The principle of the One Yuan Four Symbols Formation is somewhat the same as that of the Jiuding Formation. If a monk breaks in from any direction, he will be besieged by monks protecting the formation from all directions.
This time, some of the foundation-building monks who were attacking Yanlai Peak were proficient in formations. Soon, more than twenty foundation-building monks entered the formation from four directions, preventing them from responding head to tail.
There were six Foundation Establishment Stage monks who entered the formation from the east. As soon as the six Foundation Establishment Stage monks entered the formation, they sacrificed more than a dozen magical weapons and hit the people protecting the formation.
Seeing more than a dozen sword lights coming towards them, these Qi-training monks did not panic. They held the formation flags and waved them gently, and saw a thin shield of Gang Qi forming in front of them.
Although the shield seems to have only a thin layer, it is very hard. Even when the flying sword stabs it, it is blocked by the Gang Qi, as if it is fixed in the air.
Since the Hongshan Sect’s foundation-building monks dared to attack the mountain gate, they were more or less fully prepared. When they saw that the situation was unfavorable, they looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and threw out four fist-sized earth-colored beads.
The earth-colored round bead exudes a faint glow, and there seems to be a group of spiritual light flowing inside.
This kind of magic weapon is the formation-breaking bead, a third-level formation-breaking bead. Once used, it can destroy the nearby earth veins and shake the foundation of the formation.
If the formation-breaking monks outside are stronger, it will be easier to break into the formation with the help of the formation-breaking beads.
In the Battle of Xihefang that Zhang Zhixuan experienced for the first time that year, it was with the help of the formation-breaking beads that three foundation-building monks Wei Mazi were able to break through the garrison formation in Xihefang and kill Wu Xiangyuan, a foundation-building monk stationed in Fang City.
Today, the monks of the Hongshan Sect repeated their old tricks, throwing out four formation-breaking beads at once, hitting the One Yuan Four Elephant Formation from four directions.
The value of a third-level formation-breaking bead is about eight hundred spirit stones. The price of four formation-breaking beads is already more than three thousand spirit stones. This price is already more than a good fourth-level spiritual talisman.
The formation-breaking bead hit the ground, and a loud noise erupted immediately, and there was a strong shaking on Yanlai Peak.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, more than twenty monks from the Hongshan Sect’s foundation period desperately used their magic weapons to attack the Four Elephants Formation from all directions.
Although the cultivators protecting the array managed to maintain their strength, the earth veins were temporarily swaying, and their combined strength was not as good as the enemies outside. The One Yuan Four Elephant Formation suddenly showed holes, and the Gang Qi shield that protected the formation also showed traces of cracks.
Seeing that nothing could be done, the clan leader and Qing Chan looked at each other and immediately ordered the Qi-training monks below to disperse.
More than thirty monks in the Qi training period were divided into three teams, and they discarded the formation flags of the One Yuan Four Elephant Formation to form three second-level high-grade trapped dragon formations.
Compared to the one-element four-image formation that relies on mountains and rivers, the second-order high-grade trapped dragon formation is not powerful enough, but it is very convenient to set up. It only takes a dozen formation flags to set up the formation.
Although this formation cannot trap the monks in the foundation-building stage, it is still very useful for supporting each other and protecting themselves.
Zhang Leqian and Qing Chan directed everyone to close the formation, and the six foundation-building monks outside immediately seized the opportunity and rushed into the formation.
The leader was young, he looked to be in his thirties, and his cultivation level was only at the second level of foundation building. He took the lead and launched a flying sword, slashing at Zhang Leqian.
Zhang Leqian raised his hand and released a sword light, blocking this person.
At the same time, Qingchan immediately took action, seizing the opportunity to shake the soul-inducing flag, which released a black light. With lightning speed, it hit the middle-aged monk in the face.
Because he rushed too far forward, the person barely had time to react before he was hit by the black light released from the soul-guiding flag, and fell into confusion on the spot.
If you lose your focus in such a dangerous battlefield, the consequences will be self-evident.
Zhang Leqian immediately seized the opportunity, used his third-level medium-grade magic weapon Fire Thunder Bottle, and threw three fire thunders at this person.
