Chapter 254
Fire Persimmon Mountain is erupting!
The earth shook violently, red flames burned like pillars of heaven, and endless magma erupted wildly.
The scorching magma drew dazzling flame arcs in mid-air, like golden-red fire dragons soaring into the sky, and then landed suddenly.
The majestic and surging magma flowed down like a pouring force, wanting to burn everything!
And Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, located on Fire Persimmon Mountain, bore the brunt.
"We are... going to be finished!"
"Why, why is there still such a violent eruption on Fire Persimmon Mountain?!"
"Run, run quickly!!"
The entire Fire Persimmon Xiancheng fell into great shock and chaos.
The crowd was like ants, rushing in panic.
Chi Dun and Fei Si both appeared, flying high in the sky, personally sitting in command, doing their best to stabilize the situation and people's hearts.
The night retreated step by step in the firelight, and the sulfur smell in the air was unprecedentedly pungent, making people suffocate!
Facing such power of heaven and earth, even Jin Dan-level Chi Dun and Fei Si couldn't help but feel their own weakness and insignificance.
Under such circumstances, a mere Jin Dan level was of no help at all; wanting to turn the tide? It was just a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
The only thing they could rely on was Nascent Soul!
Mountain peak.
Meng Kui's face was reflected by a bright firelight; he could no longer sit quietly, his face full of severity.
At this critical moment of crisis, as the City Lord of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, he had to step forward.
"Fire Persimmon Xiancheng defensive array, open for me!"
Meng Kui gave a shout, and countless emerald green array patterns immediately appeared in the air, on the city walls, and on the ground.
These array patterns were sometimes thin, sometimes thick, crisscrossing each other, with a magnificent bearing.
This was the characteristic of the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng's defensive array being fully mobilized. The hidden array patterns could only be seen by the naked eye at this moment.
Walls formed by countless array patterns blocked the magma tide pouring down.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
The magma rolled, hitting the array pattern walls, its momentum stopped, and thick white smoke emerged.
The magma could not move forward and could only pile up in place, its height accumulating, gradually becoming a high slope.
And under the intense temperature, the emerald green array pattern walls also appeared cracks rapidly.
When countless cracks accumulated to a certain extent, these array pattern walls finally reached their limit and collapsed with a bang.
However, the walls of array patterns were one after another, endless. Even if the array pattern wall at the very front collapsed, there were still those behind to fill the gap.
In this way, relying on the defensive array to hold on hard, the impact speed of the magma was finally slowed down, winning precious time for the citizens in the Xiancheng.
"Listen to me, everyone don't panic!"
"Lord City Lord has taken action; he is a Nascent Soul-level cultivator, we are inevitably safe."
"There will be no casualties tonight."
Fei Si's voice resounded throughout the city; his face was like iron, his voice cold, doing his best to appease people's hearts.
After saying this, he immediately mobilized the City Guard Army.
The City Guard Army of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng was carefully selected, possessing a large number of Foundation Establishment-level cultivators, very good at group fighting.
It was time to test Fei Si's foundation!
He had to make a judgment quickly on how many troops to send out to be appropriate.
Fei Si thought rapidly in his mind, gritted his teeth, and sent out 60% of the City Guard Army, leaving only 40% of the people to guard Fire Persimmon Xiancheng and maintain stability in the Xiancheng.
Chi Dun ran over, wanting to command this batch of dispatched City Guard Army to go to the front line to resist the surging magma.
Fei Si cursed angrily: "Brute, what's the use of you, a mere body cultivator, running to the front of the array?"
"You have to stay and guard Fire Persimmon Xiancheng. The situation is chaotic now; once demonic cultivators take advantage of the fire to rob, making our footing unstable, finally leading to defeat, that would be the worst."
After Fei Si explained simply, he directly ordered Chi Dun to suppress the entire Fire Persimmon Xiancheng. If any bad signs appeared, he could take action directly without asking, killing any suspicious characters on the spot.
Although Chi Dun didn't get along with Fei Si on weekdays, at such a critical moment, he put down past grudges and accepted the order solemnly.
Fei Si frowned, worried, his heart feeling like a huge stone was pressing on it.
Fei Si secretly calculated: Fire Persimmon Mountain erupted, with such terrifying power, relying solely on Meng Kui and the defensive array, even if they could block it, it would be a tragic victory.
Fire Persimmon Xiancheng was bound to suffer an impact; by then, it was very likely that most of the Xiancheng would be swallowed by magma.
To avoid this situation, only by fully mobilizing the manpower in the city could they turn the tide.
Fei Si didn't hesitate and contacted Zhu Xuanji, as well as the three major cultivation families: the Zhou family, the Zheng family, and the Ning family.
All along, the City Lord's Mansion had been trying hard to maintain the relationship between their side and the three families. Even if it was just superficial work, they had put in thought and energy.
Although the rift between the two sides had increased and the contradictions had deepened due to the appearance of the Molten Immortal Palace recently.
Zhu Xuanji's appearance made the three families actively attach themselves and stand on the opposite side of the Meng family.
But at this very moment, the entire Fire Persimmon Xiancheng was in serious crisis, and the interests of the Meng family and the three major cultivation families were consistent; they needed to tide over the difficulties together.
Hearing Fei Si's request for help, whether it was Zhu Xuanji or the three major cultivation families, they all responded immediately.
Six Jin Dan cultivators soon gathered by Fei Si's side.
Fei Si said: "The situation is urgent, so I don't need to say much. Everyone, next we need to borrow your power to stop the magma from continuing to spread."
"You all take these military tokens and wear them on your bodies; you can be free from the suppression of the Xiancheng's defensive array."
Having said that, Fei Si took out five military tokens and handed them directly to the Jin Dan cultivators of the three families.
Only Zhu Xuanji was left without one, because he was born in the royal family, and the Fire Persimmon Xiancheng's array was naturally useless to him.
The three families' Jin Dan cultivators immediately flew out of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng and came to the front line.
They carried the military tokens and performed spells, free from suppression, and their power was more than ten times greater than during the chaotic battle in the city before.
Ning Jiufan was in a white robe, and with a wave of his hand, frost and cold snow poured down, sprinkling on the magma, instantly steaming up large areas of water vapor, making the surface of the magma solidify rapidly, with excellent results.
The two Jin Dan cultivators of the Zheng family, Zheng Danlian and Zheng Shuangou, both performed their skilled spells, directly manipulating the magma, making it constantly flow back and counter-impact.
As a major cultivation clan mainly engaged in refining, the Zheng family had a lot of experience in controlling fire.
The performance of the two Jin Dan ancestors of the Zhou family was not as bright as the Ning family and the Zheng family.
Mainly because they were both good at setting up arrays, but the Xiancheng defensive array was already spanning this battlefield, and there was no space at all for them to exert their strengths.
Even so, the two Jin Dan cultivators took action with all their strength, and without the suppression of the array, various spells were released, still making the trend of magma spreading quite obviously curbed.
Behind them were large batches of City Guard Army.
Many heads of the City Guard Army directly accepted Fei Si's sound transmission, accurately falling into position, occupying the array feet of the defensive array.
In these array feet, the spell-casting ability of the City Guard Army heads was greatly improved. At the same time, they were more handy when commanding their subordinates.
Fei Si commanded calmly, and seeing that the City Guard Army were all in position, he issued orders uniformly.
The first round released the Earth Wall Technique.
The second round was the Torrent Technique.
The third round performed the Mud Swamp Technique.
The order of spell release was very particular, capable of cooperating with each other to maximize the effect of the previous spells.
Countless spells poured down like a rainstorm, covering the magma, sizzling.
And in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, the vast number of citizens were also mobilized. Many cultivators, in order to defend their homes, took the initiative to contribute and exert their full strength.
Fei Si didn't arrange for them to go to the front line, but uniformly opened some array feet of the defensive array, allowing them to cast spells out of thin air here.
After these spells were released, they were immediately transferred by the defensive array and gathered to the front line.
Fei Si showed extremely strong ability, assessing the situation and commanding the whole city.
At this moment, the entire Fire Persimmon Xiancheng was united in hatred, tightly united in one place!
Although the natural disaster was terrifying, all the cultivators in the city believed that human power could overcome heaven.
Under the joint spell-casting of countless cultivators, the originally terrifying and majestic magma slowed down more and more.
People saw hope, and morale rose higher and higher.
Some cultivators' magic power was exhausted and dried up after continuous spell-casting, and they were helped out of the array feet by others.
The subsequent people had long been lined up, closely following to take over the vacant positions.
And those who were replaced immediately sat on the ground, picked up pills and poured them into their mouths, racing against time to restore their own magic power.
Such scenes fell into the eyes of those who cared, stimulating their feelings.
"Although Fire Persimmon Xiancheng is a newly built city, these citizens are generally well-trained and have basic tactical literacy."
"The previous City Lords of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, although they didn't repair the defensive array, organized military exercises for the citizens every year."
"All of this is the result of military exercises."
Such a military exercise policy was not unique to Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, but existed widely in the entire cultivation world.
The cultivation world has developed to this day, with abundant spiritual energy, countless excellent spiritual root possessors, and geniuses with talent emerging one after another.
The hundred arts of cultivation are like a hundred flowers blooming, and many skills are extremely mature, and the utilization of cultivation resources has reached the extreme.
The struggles between countless families, sects, and alliances have continuously increased in intensity, updated and optimized in methods, and finally generated countless large and small cultivation kingdoms.
The active military preparations between cultivation kingdoms have lasted for nearly a hundred years.
The content of this military preparation is of course not just the accumulation of cultivation materials and the cultivation of cultivators, but also includes the military training of the vast number of bottom-level cultivators.
It can be said that almost everyone in Fire Persimmon Xiancheng is a soldier!
Now that Fire Persimmon Xiancheng is facing a disaster, all the cultivators in the city have immediately set out, and according to the previous military exercises, everyone is active and active, contributing their own strength.
Even a group of ants can move mountains and fill the seas when gathered together!
