Chapter 176: The Taiqing Flying Sword Likes It Very Much

The 111th and 112th Divisions, which had lost at least one-third of their strength, retreated, and the 13th and 14th Divisions took over the task of building the magic treasure pontoon bridge next.

They took out iron blocks similar to Rubik's cubes from large space storage magic treasures, assembled them together, input magic power, and they rapidly grew larger, with one end deeply inserted into the ground.

In the blink of an eye,

A steel pontoon bridge over a hundred meters wide appeared, and with the input of Rubik's cube iron blocks, it kept extending, moving toward the opposite riverbank.

It wasn't just here; twelve steel pontoon bridges started construction at the same time, rapidly extending and taking shape.

Swish swish!

From time to time, shells flew across the sky, azure water light flickered, water-splitting spells were cast, and they smashed into the wide river; before long, large patches of blood flowers bulged on the water surface.

It was Foundation Establishment demon beasts in the water, with strong concealment abilities, having dodged the previous reconnaissance.

Over ten minutes later.

Thud!

The steel pontoon bridge that had extended five or six kilometers touched the riverbank, deeply inserted into the mud.

Pale yellow spell spiritual light flickered on the steel pontoon bridge, connecting to a certain extent with the earth vein Qi, and the sturdiness was greatly improved; Qi Condensation-level spells were difficult to cause damage.

Even Foundation Establishment-level spells were difficult to destroy instantly, and one could rely on inputting Rubik's cube iron blocks and magic power spirit stones to repair.

"13th Division to 23rd Division, cross the river in sequence."

Xu Jianian ordered.

Each division raised its alert to the highest, the spirit radar waves scanned again and again, and after confirming safety, they crossed the river in dozens of minutes, spreading out in formation in the position on the opposite side of the river.

"Cross the river!"

Xu Jianian felt slightly relieved, leading the remaining nine divisions to start crossing the river, but still had no intention of removing the Tier 2 electromagnetic fluctuation formation, leaving one division to guard it.

The roar of engines and the clattering sound of water flowing in his ears were mixed together.

Jiang Ding concealed his figure, walking silently on the steel pontoon bridge.

Boom!

Suddenly, the earth shook, and the Tier 2 electromagnetic fluctuation formation was destroyed.

A concealment formation of the Profound Martial Heaven Palace that was close to Tier 3 was also discovered at the same time; inside it, over ten Foundation Establishment cultivators and over a hundred Qi Condensation cultivators turned into fragments in the armor-piercing shells.

Amidst the overwhelming pressure, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rippled, and a golden spear full of runes, a mouth of gray-colored fine spikes shot toward the very center of the division headquarters openly.

At the same time,

In the sky, dozens to hundreds of pitch-black holes opened, countless zombies and ghosts fell from them, and dozens of Foundation Establishment auras and two exceptionally powerful Foundation Establishment auras continued simultaneously, rushing toward the army, countless spell lights appearing.

"Damn it!"

"Sure enough, there's an ambush!"

Xu Jianian's expression turned iron-blue, his whole body's magic power surged, eighteen stone steles appeared in sequence, formation patterns emerged in the void, forming a Tier 2 Diamond Stone Formation, the golden light shining brightly.

The only flaw was that ten stone steles had holes in the center, and the flaws were very obvious as the spiritual light circulated.

"Defense!"

Jiang Ding said lightly, the sound transmitted into the ears of the thirty Dao soldier squad leaders in advance, making them obey subconsciously, setting up water cloud formations, diamond formations, thick earth turtle shell formations... and so on, layer by layer, around Xu Jianian.

Compared to their encounter last time, the speed of setting up the defensive formation was one-tenth of a second faster; this was a pre-judgment made by sensing a huge threat with sword intent.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Three thousand Dao soldiers, setting up thirty layers of defense, in terms of power enough to withstand thirty attacks at the Foundation Establishment early-stage level, yet they shattered one after another under the golden spear and gray spike, like water bubbles, the spiritual light dimming by a large margin.

"Diamond!"

Xu Jianian roared, even burning part of his essence blood under the huge threat, the golden light of the eighteen stone steles becoming more brilliant.

This was a joint strike from two Profound Martial Heaven Palace core true disciples at the Foundation Establishment peak!

Boom!

Under the strike of the gray spike, the ten stone steles that had already suffered damage instantly had their spiritual light dim and fall, pierced through again, and the remaining eight also failed to block in the slightest, pierced through by the runic golden spear.

"Save me!"

Xu Jianian roared.

Swish!

Without his reminder,

A streak of azure sword light slashed in the nick of time, its speed not much inferior to the magic treasures controlled by the two Profound Martial Heaven Palace Foundation Establishment core true disciples, and it even predicted their trajectory, accurately slashing at the spear and spike, deflecting them slightly.

Xu Jianian took this opportunity to retreat crazily.

Swish swish swish!

Chief of Staff An Siyan was confident to a terrifying degree!

She actually controlled seventy-two armor-piercing shells to shoot toward Xu Jianian's position; the moment he left, the seventy-two armor-piercing shells formed a net, beating the two magic treasure embryos that had been carefully refined by the Foundation Establishment true disciples for a long time until their spiritual light was dim, and they were no longer able to pursue.

Further away,

She still had the energy, ten thousand Law-Breaking Steel shells rose into the sky, shooting simultaneously at the locations of the two Foundation Establishment core true disciples' bodies, and other classmates also reacted instantly, shooting barrages of armor-piercing shells and heavy machine gun bullets toward everyone on the sky and ground.

"Retreat!"

The big-eared youth and the dwarf true disciple's expressions changed, drilling into the water surface, fleeing crazily toward the distance.

Failing to complete the decapitation, now the dangerous ones were them!

Swish swish swish!

It was not just An Siyan; aside from maintaining the most basic defense and attack, nearly ten divisions of tanks and twenty thousand armor-piercing shells simultaneously aimed at the two of them, white streaks cutting across the sky as they locked onto their targets.

Boom!

A huge explosion occurred at the location of the two, countless spiritual lights collapsed, but in the end, nothing was left.

"Golden Core-level escape means!"

An Siyan's expression was cold.

Foundation Establishment peak, and practicing a 'Dian'-grade technique, there were no longer any talisman treasure trump cards; their attacks had already exceeded the talisman treasures with significantly reduced power.

This was the escape means they had cultivated with their own ability!

"The cost of this kind of means will not be low, and it cannot appear again in a short time."

Thinking of something, An Siyan's expression looked much better, and her gaze looked toward the twenty-plus Foundation Establishment cultivators fleeing for their lives in the sky, all of which were visible at a glance on the Tier 2 Infantry Spirit Radar.

Swish swish swish!

All nineteen divisions reacted, tens of thousands of cannons fired in unison, and under the influence and control of the Tier 2 War Strategist, they locked onto all these Foundation Establishment cultivators, beating them into countless flesh fragments in the air.

After three rounds of volleys, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators completely lost their aura.

There was one more thing.

Ding ding ding!

Amidst the sharp metal collision sounds, an azure flying sword and a spike with dim spiritual light were entangled together; the spike tried to drill into the ground to escape several times, but was repeatedly blocked.

"As expected of a Great Sun Sword Child!"

"The natal magic treasure is broken and lost; that dwarf will be seriously injured for a long time, perhaps falling from the quasi-Golden Core combat power."

An Siyan praised, hundreds of armor-piercing shells crossed and killed, the spiritual light on the gray spike completely collapsed, and it fell to the ground.

The azure flying sword rolled it up, vibrating happily, very excited.

"This thing, it likes it very much..."

Jiang Ding was surprised, closing his eyes to perceive.

"Xu Jianian, you made a mistake again."

Solving the opponent's natal magic treasure, An Siyan's face looked better, and she came to Xu Jianian's side, not looking at his pale face, frowning and questioning.

"Why didn't you use some computing power to bombard these two people while blocking? With your seventy-two Tier 2 spell shells, those two people would very likely have been left behind."

"Last time, it was also like this."

"Why didn't you attack at the same time the opponent made a move? This doesn't affect your defense, and it can also force the opponent to use more magic power to protect themselves, reducing the power of their attack on you."

"Why does this kind of low-level mistake appear again and again?"

The dissatisfied gazes of several high-level officers also looked here at the same time.

They finally understood.

Xu Jianian, for some reason, was extremely focused on his own safety, even to the point of losing his mind and affecting his judgment.

The defense of the Immortal Sect is attack, constant attack!

"What are you doing? Offending superiors!"

Xu Jianian was stunned for a moment, then roared: "As the highest commander, my safety is the greatest safety, the crucial factor affecting the final victory; as long as I am here, victory is here; there is no mistake!"

The brows of many officers furrowed even deeper, and they made a decision.
