Chapter 558: Breaking the Formation and Facing the Enemy

Just as he approached the location of the black hole, Song Qingming discovered several formation eyes below. Just as he was thinking about how to break the formation quickly, he suddenly felt a murderous aura attacking from behind.

Turning around to look, he discovered that a tiger-headed monster in mid-air had already chased after him. Song Qingming hurriedly waved his hand and immediately summoned a black figure to step forward and block the other party.

After more than a decade of accumulation and polishing, Jin Feng's combat power was now almost comparable to that of a cultivator like Xu Ziyan who had just formed a core. Facing a tiger-headed monster that was also at the early-stage Jin Dan, he naturally did not fall behind.

With Jin Feng helping to restrain the other party, Song Qingming also relaxed and began to carefully study the several formation eyes before him.

Seeing that the tiger-headed monster had failed to stop Song Qingming, the demonic cultivator was somewhat surprised. He immediately cast a spell to roll up a black mist to force back Yun Xinxue, wanting to go over personally to stop Song Qingming from destroying the formation below.

"Hmph! You still want to go over and help? You underestimate me too much!" Seeing that the other party was getting ruthless, Yun Xinxue had long since seen through the other party's intentions. Ignoring the entanglement of the black mist before him, he desperately drove the magic treasure in his hand to block the other party again.

Now that the battle had reached this point, their side had clearly fallen into a disadvantage. Whether Song Qingming could break the formation quickly had become the key to the entire battle.

This point was very clear not only to Yun Xinxue but also to the others present.

Especially Jin Ziyuan, who was facing a sixth-layer Jin Dan demonic cultivator alone. Even though the other party's strength was far greater than his own, Jin Ziyuan still fought desperately to entangle the other party, not letting this demon go over to affect Song Qingming.

After observing for a moment below, Song Qingming quickly saw some of the tricks, and a look of joy couldn't help but appear on his face.

Although the formation set up by these few demonic cultivators was somewhat powerful, because Song Qingming and the others had come up from below very quickly after picking herbs, the time they had to set it up was too rushed, leaving many flaws in this great formation.

Seeing that the situation had changed so suddenly, Zhao Menglian also immediately frowned, and a look of caution appeared on her face.

"Hmph! Seeking death."

"Fellow Daoist, if you choose to retreat now, I can give you a chance to let you go directly. If you block my path again, it will be too late for you to regret it later!"

Seeing that the situation had changed, the demonic cultivator side couldn't sit still. The Jin Dan demonic cultivator who was fighting Zhao Menglian had been fighting for a long time but still couldn't take her down. Gritting his teeth, he took out a black pill and swallowed it directly.

Following a heavy word spat out from the mouth of that Jin Dan demonic cultivator, the three black spheres in his hand also carried a monstrous momentum as they were quickly thrown out one after another, heading straight for Zhao Menglian not far away.

After an angry shout, the Jin Dan demonic cultivator, whose whole body was covered in black flames, quickly cast a spell with his hands and summoned another very thick black mist, which he then gathered into three black spheres the size of a palm.

Soon, the momentum on this Jin Dan demonic cultivator's body immediately soared by a few points, and his cultivation base also broke through from the sixth layer of Jin Dan to the seventh layer. His whole body, like the two summoned spiritual creatures, was covered in a layer of black flames.

Before the other party could even start, Zhao Menglian had already made preparations. In addition to the thick ice wall that had already been erected in front of her, she also tightly gripped a yellow spiritual talisman in her hand, which, under the urging of her spell, had already turned into a protective barrier in front of her.

After being forcibly compressed into a mass, this black sphere suddenly began to emit bursts of astonishing pressure, making Zhao Menglian, who was not far away, feel an unprecedented pressure, and a trace of fine sweat had already appeared on her brow.

Hearing the other party's advice, Zhao Menglian had a trace of hesitation on her face, but after quickly stabilizing her mind, she shook her head directly at the other party and said, "Righteous and demonic cannot coexist. Your Excellency should stop trying to intimidate me with empty words. If you have any powerful supernatural powers, just bring them on!"

A moment later, following a flash of white light below, Zhao Menglian and the others, who were in the middle of a battle, instantly felt that the yin wind restraining them had weakened significantly.

"Go!"

Seeing this, Zhao Menglian and the others immediately understood that Song Qingming must have made progress in breaking the formation below. Still being suppressed by the other party, they suddenly felt a boost in spirit, and a few more points of confidence appeared on their faces.

After finding several flaws in the formation, Song Qingming directly took out several formation flags, inserted them directly into the ground, and took out a formation disk to pour his magic power into it. A ray of spiritual light instantly shot straight toward a formation eye below.

In addition to this, Zhao Menglian now had a silver shield in her hand, which she blocked in front of her, setting up a third defense for herself. Facing this attack from the other party, she also appeared exceptionally cautious.

After the first black sphere hit the outermost ice wall, it passed through as if it were passing through a layer of tofu, and without losing momentum, it landed on the second layer of the barrier formed by the spiritual talisman.

This time, although it pressed the barrier down quite a bit, it still failed to completely break this defense and was quickly bounced to the side by the barrier. But before Zhao Menglian could relax for a moment, the second black sphere hit directly.

After this collision, a violent, heaven-shaking sound suddenly rang out in the canyon, shaking everyone fighting nearby and causing them to stop their struggle.

Seeing that the third-tier low-quality defensive spiritual talisman in front of her had turned into ashes, Zhao Menglian hadn't had time to react when the third sphere had already arrived in front of her.

With no way to avoid it, Zhao Menglian had no other choice but to bite the bullet and pour all her magic power into the silver shield in front of her, desperately driving this defensive magic treasure.

After the last black sphere hit Zhao Menglian's silver shield, it instantly knocked Zhao Menglian back several zhang from her original position and let out another heaven-shaking sound, flipping Zhao Menglian, who was too close, over and knocking her back more than ten zhang until she smashed into the mountain wall on one side of the canyon, finally coming to a stop.

This time, to take the other party's fierce blow, she hadn't expected that the defensive spiritual talisman she had saved plus a defensive magic treasure would be directly scrapped just like that. Looking at the silver shield in her hand, which was already somewhat severely damaged, Zhao Menglian shook her head with great regret and put it away directly.

Fortunately, after the other party's fierce blow just now, Zhao Menglian only suffered some minor injuries, and her overall combat power was not significantly affected.

Seeing that the Jin Dan demonic cultivator already wanted to bypass her and head straight for the formation eye location below, Zhao Menglian didn't care to adjust her state and took out her natal magic treasure to chase after him directly.

Just as she caught up behind the demonic cultivator, the "Profound Ice Red Silk" in Zhao Menglian's hand had already quickly rolled out, blocking directly in front of the demonic cultivator.

Zhao Menglian was a cultivator with the heterologous ice spiritual root, and the cultivation technique she practiced also carried a trace of ice-attribute spiritual energy. After her natal magic treasure "Profound Ice Red Silk" touched the demonic cultivator, it immediately brought an exceptionally cold chill, as if freezing the air around him and forming an invisible wall.

"Get out of my way!" Being entangled by the other party again, the Jin Dan demonic cultivator was also filled with anger and felt somewhat helpless.

Although the ice-attribute cultivation technique practiced by Zhao Menglian did not have very strong attack capabilities, its defensive capabilities were relatively outstanding. Even if the other party's cultivation strength was one level higher than hers, it would be difficult for him to shake off her entanglement for a while.

Just as the two were fighting here, the situation on Jin Ziyuan's side suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse. Facing the demonic cultivator whose strength was stronger than his own alone, after fighting for more than a hundred rounds, he finally couldn't hold on anymore.

After being blasted away by the other party's punch at close range for dozens of zhang, he immediately spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, and he couldn't even stand steadily, clearly having been severely injured this time.

Just as Jin Ziyuan was worrying about how to continue blocking the other party, the yin wind that had been rolling around the group suddenly weakened rapidly and soon disappeared without a trace.

Feeling this change, Jin Ziyuan, who had been looking worried just a moment ago, immediately let out a loud laugh and regained his spirit. With a face full of hatred, he said to the other party, "Demonic brats, this time it should be your turn to suffer!"

After destroying three or four of the other party's formation eyes in a row, the yin wind in front of Song Qingming finally stopped, and a black formation disk resembling a copper plate was immediately revealed.

After carefully putting it into his pocket, Song Qingming did not dare to delay too much and immediately flew toward the middle of the canyon, quickly returning to the middle of the battlefield.

By the time Song Qingming returned here, because there was no longer the restraint of the yin wind, the group, who had been suppressed by the other party, finally got a few chances to catch their breath and slowly stabilized their footing.

Seeing that everyone had not been defeated, Song Qingming also slightly relaxed his heart, showing a look of joy, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Jin Ziyuan, who was the only one still in a disadvantageous position on the battlefield.

With the addition of Song Qingming, Jin Ziyuan's side immediately turned from danger to safety. With the two of them joining forces, even if the other party had a higher cultivation base, they couldn't take any advantage.

Just like that, after the two sides fought for dozens of rounds, the one who first broke the balance of the battlefield was Zhang Tieyang, who had the lowest cultivation base.

The ox-headed monster he faced only barely had the level of a first-layer Jin Dan. Without the restraint of the yin wind, Zhang Tieyang quickly reversed the situation. After continuous attacks broke the other party's defense, he quickly seized the opportunity to use the golden seal magic treasure in his hand to directly scatter the soul of that ox-headed monster.

Seeing that the other party was about to have one more person, the demonic cultivator side also knew that there was no chance to take down the other party today. After sending a secret message to each other, they abandoned their opponents one after another, wanting to leave the battlefield and escape from here.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" Seeing that the other party wanted to escape, Song Qingming and the others naturally would not agree directly and immediately chased after them, wanting to keep these demonic cultivators.
