Chapter 154: Ambush

Rumble!

As the Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members gradually approached, the roaring sounds outside the city became even more intense.

Under Ye Qingxuan's secret manipulation, the fluctuations of the defensive barrier of the city's formation became increasingly obvious, giving one a sense of imminent collapse.

Facing the approach of the Green Demon tribe's Nascent Soul stage powerhouses, Ye Qingxuan was not doing nothing.

He took out several Fourth Order nuclear explosion pills and threw them in the direction from which the Green Demon tribe was attacking.

The power of a Fourth Order nuclear explosion pill is comparable to a full-strength strike from an early Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

It could bring a certain degree of danger to those Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members, but it would not scare them away.

Instead, it would make these Green Demon tribe members relax their vigilance and feel more at ease in attacking the city.

Sure enough, after easily dodging the several Fourth Order nuclear explosion pills thrown by Ye Qingxuan.

A sneer of disdain appeared on the faces of the several early Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members at the very front, and their speed in approaching Ye Qingxuan's city increased by a fraction.

Soon, the several Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members at the front had arrived not far from Ye Qingxuan's city.

They began to attack the seemingly crumbling formation shield outside the city with all their might.

The dense demonic Qi, under the traction of the Green Demon tribe, began to envelop the energy shield in the area not far in front of Ye Qingxuan.

Subjected to the erosion of the demonic Qi, the shield began to emit a harsh sizzling sound.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan chuckled and began to operate the purification formation set up with the Fifth Order Spirit-Cleansing Tree at full power.

He guided the demonic Qi drawn in by these early Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members into the purification formation, converting it into pure spiritual energy to be infused into his own city.

At the same time, Ye Qingxuan threw out several more Fourth Order nuclear explosion pills, pretending to be counterattacking.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The explosion sounds of several Fourth Order nuclear explosion pills rang out again.

Not beyond Ye Qingxuan's expectations, the Fourth Order nuclear explosion pills were easily dodged by the several early Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members outside the city, causing them no effective damage.

After one of the Green Demon tribe members dodged Ye Qingxuan's Fourth Order nuclear explosion pills, he frowned and looked at the energy barrier outside the city that was still not broken, then turned his head to look behind him and roared:

"What are you all doing? A human city at its wit's end, what is there to be afraid of with your cowering?"

Hearing this, a late Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe member twenty or thirty miles away from Ye Qingxuan's city snorted coldly: "Hmph!"

A majestic spiritual sense pressure pressed down on the early Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe cultivator who had spoken out to rebuke them.

Even Xie Yin and Xie Wu's expressions changed, and they glanced at him coldly.

Feeling the powerful spiritual sense pressure, that early Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe cultivator groaned, and finally remained silent with a livid face.

He began to vent his anger on Ye Qingxuan's city bit by bit.

In the rear, Xie Yin and Xie Wu looked at each other, nodded in unison, and decided not to delay any longer.

The two of them arrived in front of Ye Qingxuan's city in an instant at an extremely fast speed, and the Sixth Order early-stage talismans they had already prepared in their hands were quickly activated.

Having probed for so long, the two of them did not want to waste any more time.

For a Sixth Order defensive formation, one must use Sixth Order talismans to speed up the breaking of the formation.

A quick battle to force a quick decision; they were still preparing to deal with the hidden human Nascent Soul stage cultivators behind, and had no time to delay too long at this city.

After the two Sixth Order talismans were activated, two energy fluctuations far exceeding the Nascent Soul stage perfection appeared, drawing the demonic Qi within a hundred-mile radius at an extremely fast speed, and bombarded Ye Qingxuan's city.

At the same time, Ye Qingxuan quickly raised the power of the Sixth Order Jiugong Eight Trigrams Formation to the extreme.

The collision between the two Sixth Order talismans and the Sixth Order formation was accompanied by a crackling roar.

The energy fluctuations directly repelled the several early Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members outside the city, and it was not until they retreated several miles away that they barely managed to stop their figures.

The shield outside Ye Qingxuan's city began to crumble, and cracks had already appeared.

This time, it was truly crumbling.

However, a formation is a formation after all, and it was a special Jiugong Eight Trigrams Formation set up by Ye Qingxuan, so it naturally could not be crushed by mere two talismans of the same order.

Without needing Ye Qingxuan to urge it, the shield of the Sixth Order Jiugong Eight Trigrams Formation, which had been violently fluctuating, had already begun to slowly stabilize.

The cracks on the shield had also begun to gradually heal.

"Is that it?"

Looking at the two Nascent Soul stage perfection Green Demon tribe members, Xie Yin and Xie Wu, outside the city, Ye Qingxuan, who had been standing in the air with his hands behind his back, tilted his mouth and could not help but mock.

At the same time, Ye Qingxuan was also very expectant in his heart.

If he could hunt down these two Nascent Soul stage perfection Green Demon tribe members, he would have made a huge profit this time.

For a moment, Ye Qingxuan hesitated whether to take this opportunity to directly activate the Sixth Order killing formation to hunt down the two Nascent Soul stage perfection Green Demon tribe members not far away.

"Hmph!"

While Ye Qingxuan was hesitating.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's mockery, Xie Yin and Xie Wu both snorted coldly.

However, after seeing the changes in the formation outside Ye Qingxuan's city, their pupils shrank slightly.

Xie Wu looked back at the other Nascent Soul stage tribesmen and said coldly:

"What are you all still waiting for? Attack together to break the formation barrier, and do not give the formation barrier time to heal."

Things had reached this point, and with two Nascent Soul stage perfection tribesmen taking the lead.

These Green Demon tribe members, who had been maintaining vigilance, looked at each other one after another, and then began to approach Ye Qingxuan's city at an extremely fast speed, attacking in unison.

However, there were still some Nascent Soul mid- and late-stage Green Demon tribe members who, although they moved forward a certain distance, did not fully approach the city where Ye Qingxuan was located.

To put it bluntly, although breaking a human city would yield quite a lot of merit.

But there were too many people this time, and the merit divided up was not enough for them to risk going all out.

Compared to attacking the city, this part of the Green Demon tribe cultivators, who were cunning in their hearts, were more willing to preserve their strength and hunt down those human Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the mountains behind after the city was broken.

At the same time, in the mountains on both sides of the plain.

Many human cultivators had been silently watching this battle in secret.

Upon seeing that the cultivators of the Green Demon Clan had been attacking for a long time, and had even used a sixth-order talisman in the end, yet the human city newly established on the plains remained as steady as a mountain.

The human cultivators lurking on the edge of the mountains had their eyes light up.

If a human city could truly gain a foothold in this area, it would be of great help to them.

Whether it was entering the city for supplies or returning to Xuancheng through the city, it would be much more convenient.

And even if the city were broken, given the current performance of this city, it might be able to cause heavy damage to these Green Demon tribe members attacking the city before it was broken.

At that time, it would be the best time for them to hunt down the Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members.

Before this, these human Nascent Soul stage powerhouses did not act as heroes and rashly come forward to clash head-on with these Green Demon tribe powerhouses.

Now the enemy is many and we are few, and the people in the city have a teleportation array as a retreat.

And once they are entangled by the Green Demon tribe powerhouses, it will not be so easy to withdraw.

This is also the reason why these human cultivators have been watching and have not rashly made a move.

Regardless of which tribe's cultivators.

After stepping onto the path of cultivation, those brainless cultivators who only had a burst of hot blood and could not maintain their rationality had mostly been screened out and eliminated.

Outside Ye Qingxuan's city.

After most of the Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members approached the city.

Ye Qingxuan no longer hesitated and decisively activated the Sixth Order killing formation engraved on the city wall.

Suddenly, a strong murderous intent spread from Ye Qingxuan's city and enveloped the Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members outside the city.

"Not good!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Xie Yin and Xie Wu were the first to sense the crisis and immediately spoke out to remind them.

While speaking, the two of them prepared to flee the place quickly.

But it was too late; they were simply too close to Ye Qingxuan's city.

The suppression power inherent in the Sixth Order formation made their movements sluggish, unable to escape the place quickly.

And the seven or eight Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe powerhouses who had been behind and had not approached, after noticing the change.

Immediately scattered and fled with lingering fear, not even taking a look, and directly fled the place.

However, the direction they fled was not the mountains on both sides of the plain. Obviously, they had also guessed a thing or two about the plans of the human Nascent Soul stage powerhouses in the mountains.

In the plains on both sides, many human cultivators were dumbfounded as they watched this scene happening on the plain.

One of the cultivators exclaimed:

"This fellow Daoist is awesome, with both a Sixth Order defensive formation and a Sixth Order killing formation; perhaps this city can really stand tall in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm."

There were also many human Nascent Soul stage powerhouses who were eager to move as they watched the fleeing Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members.

However, seeing the direction they were fleeing, they sighed with regret one after another:

"What a pity! Why didn't they flee towards the mountains?"

This batch of fleeing Green Demon tribe cultivators was not injured, and the success rate of pursuing them was obviously too low, so the human Nascent Soul stage cultivators did not act rashly.

Subsequently, they once again cast their eyes on the battle in the plain that had not yet ended.

In the plain.

"No!"

The early Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe cultivators at the very front were the first to be attacked by the formation and fell on the spot.

After killing the Green Demon tribe members at the front, the attack of the Sixth Order killing formation did not stop.

Under Ye Qingxuan's manipulation, the blade lights, sword shadows, and spear glows condensed by the Sixth Order killing formation began to converge and rotate, forming a tornado filled with destructive power.

This tornado expanded rapidly and swept towards Xie Yin and Xie Wu.

Seeing this, Xie Yin and Xie Wu's pupils shrank.

The two of them looked at each other and instantly understood each other's meaning. Xie Yin shouted to the other Nascent Soul stage tribesmen around him: "Those with trump cards, if not now, when?"

After speaking, he and Xie Wu took out a Sixth Order mid-grade talisman in unison and activated the Sixth Order mid-grade talisman in their hands with a pained expression.

At the same time, the other Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe powerhouses also activated their trump cards one after another.

Various mid-grade magic treasure shields, Fifth Order defensive talismans, or Fifth Order attack talismans were activated one by one on the field.

Some late Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe cultivators even directly used Sixth Order low-grade space shuttle talismans to flee the scene.

For a time, energy light clusters of various colors lit up outside Ye Qingxuan's city.

The two Sixth Order mid-grade talismans activated by Xie Yin and Xie Wu.

One went towards the energy tornado formed by the Sixth Order killing formation manipulated by Ye Qingxuan.

One went towards the formation barrier of Ye Qingxuan's city.

The moment the two Sixth Order mid-grade talismans were activated, they instantly broke the suppression power of the Sixth Order killing formation in this area.

Several very vigilant late Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe cultivators noticed the change, their faces filled with joy, and they directly fled the place without hesitation, disappearing without a trace.

Other Green Demon tribe members saw this, their faces showing excitement, and they were preparing to flee the place.

But the next second, a suppression power even stronger than that of the Sixth Order formation reappeared, instantly enveloping the entire field.

"Impossible? Sixth Order supreme talisman?"

"Sixth Order supreme talisman?"

That's right, the moment Xie Yin and Xie Wu activated the Sixth Order mid-grade talismans, Ye Qingxuan had already noticed.

Almost the instant after Xie Yin and Xie Wu activated the Sixth Order mid-grade talismans, Ye Qingxuan also activated his Sixth Order supreme talisman.

The appearance of the Sixth Order supreme talisman caused the Green Demon tribe and the watching human cultivators to exclaim in unison.

The higher the realm of the product, not only is it harder to obtain, but the gap between small grades of the item will also be greater.

A Sixth Order supreme talisman is already comparable to a full-strength strike from a Deity Transformation stage perfection cultivator.

Don't look at Ye Qingxuan not taking Sixth Order talismans seriously.

That is because he has the treasure bowl of the Tianfu shop within the Profound Yi Tianzong and is not short of spirit stones.

And he has the backing of the Profound Yi Tianzong, so he can easily obtain Sixth Order resources, which is why he can use Sixth Order talismans at will.

But ordinary cultivators in the cultivation world, whether human or Green Demon tribe.

Being able to obtain cultivation resources one order higher than their own cultivation is a stroke of great luck; who doesn't hide them away as their strongest trump card?

Unlike Ye Qingxuan, who used Fifth and Sixth Order resources casually when he was still in the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, the moment they saw the Sixth Order supreme talisman appear, both human cultivators and Green Demon tribe cultivators were extremely shocked.

In the situation where Seventh Order items do not appear, the Sixth Order supreme talisman is already the most powerful grade in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm at present.

As for Seventh Order resources?

Even Ye Qingxuan, with the backing of the Profound Yi Tianzong, cannot easily obtain Seventh Order resources.

Let alone these Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm?

Perhaps there are Nascent Soul stage cultivators who have come down to the lower realm for training who have Seventh Order treasures to protect them, but they are definitely a very small existence.

As long as Ye Qingxuan does not encounter these few existences, building a city in the Ancestor Xuanmu Realm is still an easy task.

"Damn it!"

The arrival of the Sixth Order supreme talisman caused these Green Demon tribe members besieging Ye Qingxuan's city to re-enter a suppressed state.

Although the Sixth Order supreme talisman is only a one-time strike, it cannot compare to the persistence of the Sixth Order formation.

But a strike from a Sixth Order supreme talisman is already a devastating blow to Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Sensing the dense death crisis, Xie Wu could no longer care about anything else and screamed:

"Profound Demon Shield!"

A pitch-black profound shield instantly appeared in front of Xie Wu, firmly protecting him.

Xie Yin, who was beside him, also hurriedly performed a secret technique:

"Earth Demon Protection!"

In an instant, a majestic demonic Qi surged continuously from the earth, wrapping Xie Yin tightly and forming a demon cocoon.

Other Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members also showed their magical powers and took out their best life-saving means one after another.

Boom! Rumble! Violent energy roaring sounds rang out one after another, deafening, setting off waves of energy tides sweeping in all directions.

First, the Sixth Order mid-grade talisman activated by Xie Yin collided with the tornado formed by the Sixth Order killing formation.

While the tornado was crushed by the energy of the Sixth Order mid-grade talisman, various energy blades scattered, forming an indiscriminate attack.

Several early and mid-stage Nascent Soul Green Demon tribe members who could not dodge in time under the suppression instantly fell under these incoming energy blades.

Then it was the collision between the Sixth Order supreme talisman activated by Ye Qingxuan and the Sixth Order mid-grade talisman activated by Xie Wu.

Wuxie's Sixth Order mid-grade talisman attack only supported for a moment before being instantly crushed.

However, after crushing Wuxie's Sixth Order mid-grade talisman, the Sixth Order supreme talisman attack activated by Ye Qingxuan was also affected by the explosion of the Sixth Order talisman energy and instantly burst open.

For a time, the energy of three Sixth Order talismans and one Sixth Order formation instantly swept the entire field, and almost all the early Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members on the field fell.

Fortunately, the moment the Sixth Order talisman attack burst, the suppression power received by the Green Demon tribe Nascent Soul stage powerhouses was also lifted.

After withstanding the energy tide set off by the first wave of Sixth Order energy collision, many Green Demon tribe Nascent Soul stage mid- and late-stage powerhouses spat blood one after another and fled to the distance.

Even Xie Yin and Xie Wu, who were at the Nascent Soul stage perfection level, were no exception.

It was just that compared to others, the injuries of Xie Yin and Xie Wu were lighter.

But most of the early Nascent Soul stage and a small number of mid-stage Nascent Soul Green Demon tribe members who entered within ten miles of Ye Qingxuan's city fell under Ye Qingxuan's counterattack.

At the same time, the human cultivators in the mountains on both sides of the plain.

Although they were still shocked that the city lord of this newly established human city actually had a Sixth Order supreme talisman, their actions did not stop.

As these injured Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members fled, the human Nascent Soul stage cultivators did not hesitate at all and instantly chose their respective targets to pursue.

Among them, the human Nascent Soul stage perfection cultivator holding a long saber fled towards the direction Xie Wu was fleeing with an expressionless face.

Ye Qingxuan, who was in the city, also noticed the movements of the human cultivators in the mountains.

Seeing that Xie Wu was already being pursued by a human Nascent Soul stage perfection cultivator, Ye Qingxuan cast his gaze towards Xie Yin, a strange smile appearing on his face.
