Chapter 474: Fierce Battle with the White Lion Beast King

The White Lion Beast King was also a very cunning beast king. After bringing the beast army to Jin Shan Market, it did not rush to appear but kept hiding among the low-tier beasts in the rear, constantly driving these low-tier beasts to go forward to consume the mountain-guarding formation of Jin Shan Market.

After the "Thick Earth Jin Guang Formation" disappeared, the White Lion Beast King saw that the time had come and immediately appeared, rushing quickly toward the market gate of Jin Shan Market, wanting to make a contribution in one fell swoop and break through the last line of defense of the human cultivator side.

The White Lion Beast King had only traveled halfway when a group of white spiritual light gathered above its head, which soon flew directly toward the city gate below.

Seeing that the attack of this Jin Dan beast king had already come toward this side, the Qi Refining cultivators standing near the city gate immediately felt a burst of despair.

At this moment, a green light had already shot out from the market. After a loud noise, a green-clothed figure appeared in mid-air, blocking in front of the White Lion Beast King. It was Song Qingming, who had been prepared in the market for a long time.

"Everyone, do not panic. Leave this beast to me. All of you, rest assured and meet the enemy. Those who shake the morale of the army, the law enforcement team will execute them immediately!"

After seeing Song Qingming's figure appear, those cultivators who were about to retreat to avoid the White Lion Beast King suddenly showed a look of joy, as if they had found their backbone. They stopped their retreating steps one after another.

Seeing that Song Qingming above had already engaged with the third-tier beast king, Song Qingyu, holding double swords, hurriedly ordered people to open the market gate.

"Everyone, it is our turn... Kill!"

Following Song Qingyu's angry shout, more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators in Jin Shan Market, leading more than a thousand Qi Refining cultivators, all killed their way out of the market and directly met the beast army head-on.

Although Jin Shan Market had already killed nearly a hundred beasts using the "Flying Cloud Crossbows" under the obstruction of the mountain-guarding formation just now, compared to the beast army of several thousand attacking the market, this was just a drop in the bucket. The overall number of cultivators on the human side was clearly still much smaller than that of the beast side.

At the same time that the cultivators of Jin Shan Market launched their attack, in order to guard against those flying spirit beasts in the sky making sudden raids into the market from high altitude, Song Yuanli, who was still guarding the market, led the law enforcement cultivators and immediately activated the second protective formation of Jin Shan Market, which had been set up around the city walls.

However, the beasts had just run for hundreds of miles and had just been consumed by the mountain-guarding formation outside. Compared to the human cultivators who had already rested and regrouped, the beast side was worse in both momentum and physical strength. In this regard, the Jin Shan Market cultivators still had some advantages.

The human cultivators guarding Jin Shan Market, relying on the market and with the help of the "Purple Heaven Startling Thunder Formation," could retreat and use the power of the formation to attack the opponent when encountering a strong enemy they couldn't defeat. Once injured and temporarily losing combat ability, they could also temporarily hide back into the formation.

With a purple light beginning to circle around the market, the dozen or so low-tier black one-horned eagles that had just flown over the heads of the cultivators below and arrived above the market were suddenly shot down by several thunder lights that appeared in mid-air. This was precisely the power of the "Purple Heaven Startling Thunder Formation" that had been activated.

Once targeted by the law enforcement team, even if they could temporarily avoid danger and muddle through, they would still have to be held accountable after the battle ended. Everyone present was well aware of this point, so naturally, no one dared to touch this bad luck from the beginning.

The battle below was fierce, and Song Qingming and the White Lion Beast King high in the sky had also clashed for more than ten rounds, with neither side taking advantage for the time being.

This is the huge advantage of the human cultivators on the defensive side. Although the overall number of cultivators is much smaller than that of the beasts, with the help of the mountain-guarding formation, plus more than a dozen second-tier "Flying Cloud Crossbows" on the market city wall, they did not show much disadvantage for a while.

This "Purple Heaven Startling Thunder Formation" is different from the previous "Thick Earth Jin Guang Formation"; it is a great formation that combines offense and defense. After starting the formation, under the control of the cultivators below, it can simultaneously emit several second-tier thunder lights to attack beasts approaching the formation. Any beast approaching the formation will immediately suffer attacks.

Although the White Lion Beast King had broken through to the Jin Dan realm for a relatively long time and its cultivation was slightly higher, it did not have any powerful magic treasures on it, and its fighting ability was also relatively average, far inferior to the Qingluan Beast King that Song Qingming knew who was also at the early Jin Dan stage.

If Song Qingming had not refined the life-bound magic treasure "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror," I reckon he might still have been suppressed by the White Lion Beast King. But now, Song Qingming already had two third-tier low-grade magic treasures, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" and the "Green Willow Sword," in his hands. His overall fighting ability was already not a weakling among early Jin Dan cultivators.

However, although Song Qingming had already felt that the White Lion Beast King's divine abilities were not strong in the battle just now, it was also very difficult for him to defeat this beast king in a short time.

After the two fought for dozens of rounds, Song Qingming looked at the battlefield below, deliberately showed a flaw, and lured the White Lion Beast King to a depression five or six miles away from the battlefield.

After the White Lion Beast King chased over, Song Qingming suddenly turned around, cast a spell, split the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" circling in front of him into five, and the five huge bronze mirrors of different colors surrounded the White Lion Beast King, emitting five powerful spiritual lights that directly hit the White Lion Beast King.

Being suddenly turned around and ambushed by Song Qingming, the White Lion Beast King, who had suffered a dark loss, let out a roar and directly knocked open one of the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirrors" that had just blocked it, rushing straight toward Song Qingming, who was already standing below, in a rage.

The White Lion Beast King arrived in front of Song Qingming in a flash, but Song Qingming stood still and looked at it with a smile, which also made the White Lion Beast King somewhat angry, and it directly slapped Song Qingming to the ground with one claw.

However, what the White Lion Beast King did not expect was that this Song Qingming, who had been slapped into fragments by its claw, slowly turned into a white mist and disappeared before the White Lion Beast King's eyes. And not far in front of it, another Song Qingming figure appeared, also looking at it with a smile.

Seeing that Song Qingming had been mocking itself like this, the White Lion Beast King was also very angry and rushed toward Song Qingming not far away again...

Song Qingming, standing above the depression, looked at the White Lion Beast King, who was constantly waving its sharp claws at the air in a burst of white mist, and said to Huang Siyuan on the side with a smile, "Before, I thought those people in the sect were bragging in front of me. I didn't expect that this illusion formation could really deceive a third-tier beast king. It truly surprised me a bit."

Huang Siyuan, who was casting a spell to control the "Illusion Formation" below, said with a solemn face, "This formation is afraid it won't be able to trap the White Lion Beast King for long. Husband still needs to find a way to defeat it quickly!"

"Hmm! I already have a plan in my heart. After the White Lion Beast King gets out of trouble later, Siyuan, you immediately retreat to the market. Leave this place to me." Song Qingming finished speaking and nodded firmly.

This "Illusion Formation" laid down here was prepared by Song Qingming a few years ago. After borrowing this formation from the Xiaoyao Sect's Formation Hall, Song Qingming had planned to use it specifically to deal with those powerful third-tier beast kings in the beast army.

Song Qingming's cultivation was only at the first layer of Jin Dan after all. Before the beasts moved south, he had already sensed that he might encounter a third-tier beast king this time. To be on the safe side, in case the beast king he encountered was too powerful, Song Qingming still made a step further and prepared this backup plan for himself early.

In case he couldn't beat the opponent in the battle, he could still use this "Illusion Formation" to trap the opponent for a moment at the critical moment, striving for some time to escape for himself.

A few days ago, after discovering that the opponent might be the White Lion Beast King from back then, Song Qingming laid down this great formation here in advance, wanting to see if he had a chance to use this formation to unexpectedly severely injure the White Lion Beast King.

Huang Siyuan was able to avoid the beast army and hide here to control the formation because she was wearing the "Hidden Spirit Shirt" that Song Qingming gave her, which prevented the beasts nearby from discovering her aura.

The White Lion Beast King, who had been making a scene in the illusion formation for a while, gradually felt that something was wrong after finding that it couldn't catch Song Qingming's figure.

The White Lion Beast King, standing on the spot, pondered for a moment, then ignored Song Qingming, who was still laughing and mocking it on the side, and flew into the high sky, wanting to leave this strange place directly.

It didn't expect that just as it flew into mid-air, another Song Qingming figure appeared above, holding a flying sword and killing toward it. The White Lion Beast King, seeing this, instinctively sprayed a group of white light quickly. After the white light came into contact with Song Qingming's figure, it soon shattered this Song Qingming directly into a piece of white mist.

By this moment, the White Lion Beast King also slowly realized that it seemed to have fallen into an illusion. It opened its mouth wide and directly spat out a golden ball, which was the beast king inner core that the White Lion Beast King had cultivated for many years.

After this inner core was spat out of the body by the White Lion Beast King, it soon emitted a burst of very dazzling white light, directly dispersing the white mist surrounding the White Lion Beast King.

Only then did the White Lion Beast King see the scene outside the illusion formation and Huang Siyuan, who was controlling the "Illusion Formation" above the depression.

Just as the White Lion Beast King had just gotten out of trouble and wanted to kill toward Huang Siyuan, it suddenly felt that a dangerous aura was approaching from behind it. The White Lion Beast King immediately turned around instinctively and quickly saw Song Qingming, who had already killed its way in front of it.

Feeling the dangerous spiritual light gathered on the "Green Willow Sword" in Song Qingming's hand, the White Lion Beast King hurriedly propped up a golden light shield in front of itself.

However, what the White Lion Beast King did not expect was that this protective gang energy it had cultivated for many years could not help it block this blow this time and was soon pierced by the "Green Willow Sword" in one sword.

Subsequently, the power of the "Green Willow Sword" did not diminish, and it left a huge blood hole on one of the White Lion Beast King's legs.
