Chapter 487
In this battle, according to Li Li Mufeng's instructions, he only needed to contain the opponent for half an hour. Song Song Qingming dared not say he had a ten percent chance, but seven or eight percent was still there. Moreover, with Yao Yao Qianshu and Li Li Xianyun taking action, killing an ordinary Fire Leopard Demon King would not take half an hour.
As long as Yao Yao Qianshu, the sect master, could take action, even if he could only exert half of his strength, the chance of the Carefree Sect winning this battle had already exceeded half. On this point, Song Song Qingming had great confidence in them.
Regarding the counterattack plan against the demon beasts mentioned by Li Li Mufeng, Li Li Xianyun just nodded and did not express any opinion, sitting on the side like a bystander, watching Song Song Qingming and the two all the time.
After discussing with Song Song Qingming and Li Li Xianyun, Li Li Mufeng immediately notified the sect to issue an edict and began to quickly assemble the army to go north.
In addition to the many disciples of the Carefree Sect, the Carefree Sect also summoned many cultivation families from Mount Guyang Prefecture. Plus the cultivators from Jinshan Market who came to support, more than ten days later, an army composed of more than two thousand cultivators quickly gathered and killed toward Mount Guiyun Market with Song Song Qingming and others.
In order not to alert the two demon beast armies in Gaoyun Prefecture, the Carefree Sect side, under the command of Sect Master Yao Yao Qianshu, first went east from Mount Guyang Prefecture, crossed Jiangling Prefecture, and then turned south after bypassing the northeast of Mount Guiyun Market, reaching the main battlefield of this time, outside Zixing Market.
Zixing Market was a small market located in the northeast of Gaoyun Prefecture, situated between two mountain ranges. It was the nearest path for Mount Guiyun Market to move south into Wei Guo, connecting Mount Guiyun Market and Gaoyun Prefecture of Wei Guo, and its geographical location was very critical.
There were ten demon kings from Mount Uncle Jinyu who moved south to Mount Guiyun Market this time. Among them, the main force of the army led by six demon kings was still besieging Bai Yu and the others in Mount Guiyun Market in the north.
The remaining four demon kings, after breaking through Zixing Market, had two demon kings stay here to block the retreat of Mount Guiyun Market's southward support. The other two demon kings had already moved south to Gaoyun Prefecture to destroy it, and were temporarily blocked south of Gaoyun Prefecture by True Person Daoist Guangling cooperating with the "Golden Winged Flying Tiger" puppet beast.
In addition to the two mid-stage Golden Core demon kings, there were thousands of low-level demon beasts in Zixing Market, and the number was not less than the human cultivator side. To win quickly in this battle, it still depended on whether the three Golden Core cultivators leading the way, Song Song Qingming and others, could quickly kill the two Golden Core demon kings in the market.
Suddenly, several sword lights lit up in the river. The four or five Level 1 demon beasts on the shore had not yet reacted, but because they were unprepared, they immediately died tragically under these sword lights. The surrounding demon beasts saw this and panicked and fled in all directions.
The Fire Leopard Demon King actually just defected to the command of Mount Uncle Jinyu from the north not long ago. This time, following the order of the White Dragon Demon King outside Mount Guiyun Market, it had to guard Zixing Market with the Nine-Patterned Dragon for several months.
Even if several Golden Core cultivators came this time, as long as the demon king was always mixed in the demon beast army, once it was allowed to detect that the situation was wrong in advance, there was still a certain probability that it could escape in the chaos.
However, according to the plan formulated by Li Li Mufeng before, the Carefree Sect side chose to settle for the next best thing and win steadily, first concentrating superior forces to besiege and kill one of the demon kings. Next, as long as the luck was not too bad, Yao Yao Qianshu and Song Song Qingming and others outside Zixing Market could still have a seven or eight percent chance of achieving this goal.
The biggest goal of this battle, in addition to breaking through Zixing Market, a key market, was to try to kill a demon king first. Otherwise, if these two demon kings were allowed to escape back to Mount Guiyun Market, it would also affect the entire battle situation later, and the combat results of this battle would also be greatly reduced.
After sending several Foundation Establishment cultivators to investigate the situation around Zixing Market, the Carefree Sect side soon discovered the Fire Leopard Demon King hiding in the market.
After Yao Yao Qianshu and Song Song Qingming discussed it, they still adopted the lure-the-enemy strategy that was relatively easy to succeed, and sent a small team composed of five Foundation Establishment cultivators to attack a group of low-level demon beasts north of the market, trying to lure the Fire Leopard Demon King, who was dozing off in the market, out of the market first.
Because only Song Song Qingming and the three came to the Carefree Sect side this time, although the overall strength of the cultivator side had exceeded the demon beast army in Zixing Market, wanting to successfully kill two mid-stage Golden Core demon kings at once, the difficulty was indeed still very great.
A few miles northeast of Zixing Market, more than a dozen low-level demon beasts were drinking water and playing by a small river.
Compared to the cunning Nine-Patterned Dragon, which had been dealing with the Carefree Sect for many years, the Fire Leopard Demon King, which had a big temper and rarely dealt with human cultivators, was naturally an easier target for the Carefree Sect side.
Immediately after, five Foundation Establishment cultivators wearing Carefree Sect uniforms jumped out of the small river, raised the flying swords in their hands and killed the other demon beasts that were panicked and retreating around. Soon, a scream of hissing and screaming sounded by the small river.
Since occupying Zixing Market moving south, the demon beast side had been entrenched around the market for months and had never suffered an active attack from human cultivators, which also made the demon beasts of Zixing Market gradually lose their guard.
Until more than a dozen Level 1 demon beasts by the small river all lost their lives, the demon beasts in Zixing Market finally reacted. Soon, several Level 2 demon beasts led hundreds of Level 1 demon beasts and rushed out of the market.
After these few Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Carefree Sect fought with the demon beast army for a while, they immediately turned around and fled toward the northeast. The five Foundation Establishment cultivators who went to provoke the demon beast side had all practiced some escape secret techniques, and their speed was naturally faster than those low-level demon beasts that came to pursue.
However, just when they were pulling away from the demon beasts behind them, a red escape light lit up in Zixing Market, flew to the sky above the market and turned into a cloud leopard covered in red, which was the Fire Leopard Demon King who had been stifled in this place for months.
The Fire Leopard Demon King was also a demon king with a big temper and could not hold his temper. He had already been stifled in Zixing Market for a long time, and now that he finally saw a few human Foundation Establishment cultivators come to provoke him and want to escape, the Fire Leopard Demon King naturally could not swallow this breath.
After looking contemptuously at the five Foundation Establishment cultivators who were fleeing in panic, the Fire Leopard Demon King turned into a red escape light again, instantly came outside the market, and chased toward the northeast.
Just after the Fire Leopard Demon King appeared and left the market, Yao Yao Qianshu, who was standing on a high mountain more than ten miles away from Zixing Market, immediately discovered its figure.
Seeing that this demon king with shallow scheming had already been fooled and chased out, a smile appeared on the corner of Yao Yao Qianshu's mouth, and he said to Song Song Qingming beside him: "Junior Brother Song, the Fire Leopard Demon King has already come out. In a while, Fellow Daoist Li and I will focus on dealing with it. You will command this side first."
"Please rest assured, Sect Master Senior Brother. Within half an hour, I will never let any demon beast pass."
Yao Yao Qianshu nodded lightly, stepped forward and walked out. After avoiding the vision of Song Song Qingming and others in the rear, he quietly took out the golden brocade box that Li Li Mufeng had handed to him not long ago and calmly took the "Deer Soul Pill" inside.
Seeing the Fire Leopard Demon King chasing behind, the few Foundation Establishment cultivators responsible for luring the enemy changed their faces and hurriedly accelerated their escape speed, fleeing desperately toward the front.
Just as they were about to escape to the pre-determined position, the Fire Leopard Demon King, who had already chased to the top of their heads, suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a huge red fireball, quickly submerging toward everyone.
Suddenly feeling a strange feeling coming from above, everyone looked up and found the huge fireball attacking from the top of their heads. Facing this fierce attack from the Fire Leopard Demon King, everyone felt a burst of pressure and showed a trace of ugliness on their faces, hurriedly stopping their bodies and preparing to raise their shields to block.
"You retreat first, leave it to me here!"
With a somewhat cold voice coming, a yellow figure suddenly appeared above them and split the huge fireball that had just fallen into two halves with a sword.
From the time these few Carefree Sect started to sneak into Zixing Market to lure the enemy, Li Li Xianyun had already been lurking in a hidden array near this place. Seeing that these people were about to be caught up by the Fire Leopard Demon King, Li Li Xianyun hurriedly flashed out to block this attack for them.
After seeing Li Li Xianyun's figure in mid-air, the few people who were already sweating on their faces immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly thanked him, and turned around and retreated toward the rear without looking back.
After seeing the Li Li Xianyun who suddenly appeared below break his attack with one sword, the Fire Leopard Demon King was also slightly surprised and stopped his body, immediately realizing that the human cultivation in front of him seemed to be no weaker than himself.
After the few Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Carefree Sect who lured the enemy below were all safely away from here, Li Li Xianyun looked up at the Fire Leopard Demon King above, but he did not move first, just staring at the opponent expressionlessly.
Feeling the cold gaze of Li Li Xianyun staring at him, the still angry Fire Leopard Demon King felt a chill in his heart. After shaking his big head, he roared angrily and took the lead to spit out a more fierce fireball toward Li Li Xianyun, who had been standing in place.
After confronting Li Li Xianyun for a while, the Fire Leopard Demon King also saw that the human cultivator in front of him seemed not easy to deal with. After pretending to attack and launching this attack, the Fire Leopard Demon King immediately flashed and retreated quickly, wanting to turn around and escape back to Zixing Market to meet with the demon beast army in the market.
However, the Fire Leopard Demon King had only retreated dozens of feet, and a giant iron tower seven or eight feet high suddenly appeared in mid-air, pressing down quickly toward its front, forcing it back again.
Standing on the top of this high iron tower was a gray-robed middle-aged man with a solemn face and white temples, who was Yao Yao Qianshu, the Carefree Sect Master who had just arrived here from afar.
Yao Yao Qianshu, who blocked the front of the Fire Leopard Demon King, had a ruddy face at this moment, completely without the sickly state before, and the aura emitted from his body had also recovered to about seven or eight percent of his peak period.
