Chapter 694: People have their own destiny, Two-Yi Heavenly Star Bead (seeking monthly votes)
Witnessing this somewhat astonishing scene, Song Qingming and the others not far away cast looks of praise toward Li Xuanyi, who had just displayed her great power.
Unexpectedly, in the unfavorable situation where their side was weak and the demon beast side was strong, Li Xuanyi was able to find an opportunity to kill a Jin Dan Demon King on the opposite side, taking the lead in establishing military merit for the human cultivators on their side.
This move truly added quite a bit of morale to the people who were still struggling with the demon beasts.
After Li Xuanyi killed the "Black Buffalo Demon King," she quickly took out the life-bound inner core from the demon king's corpse, and then intensified the siege on another Jin Dan mid-stage Demon King who was entangled with her "Corpse Puppet."
This Jin Dan mid-stage "Fire Fox Demon King," its strength was not much different from the "White Wolf Demon King" that Li Xuanyi fought with at "Jin Shan Market" at the beginning, and it was not a formidable Jin Dan mid-stage Demon King either.
At this moment, the "Black Buffalo Demon King" had already fallen, and the "Fire Fox Demon King" was besieged by Li Xuanyi and a Jin Dan mid-stage "Corpse Puppet" alone, instantly falling into a disadvantage, being beaten and retreating steadily, hurriedly calling for help from other Demon Kings on the side.
Seeing this situation, the demon beast side immediately separated another powerful "Flame Tiger Demon King" to come to support, which curbed Li Xuanyi's momentum of attack.
However, in this way, the pressure on the human cultivators who were at a disadvantage in several other places was reduced a bit, and both sides stabilized the situation on the battlefield again.
This great battle between tens of thousands of human cultivators and demon beasts lasted from the afternoon until dusk. The killing sounds on the entire battlefield had not stopped, and it was not until both sides saw that the sky was late and sounded the retreat that the battlefield gradually became quiet.
Outside "Guiyun Market," at this time, thousands of corpses had been left behind, and the blood had dyed the entire land red. The cultivators standing above the market city wall were already calm and accustomed to such bloody scenes at this moment.
The sky was getting late. Song Qingming, who returned to the cave dwelling, handed a high-tier healing elixir he had just received from the market treasury to Huang Siyuan, and then walked out of the cave dwelling to the side where Song Qingyu was.
"Qingyu, how is Yuanhao's injury? Have you obtained healing items for him?"
Hearing Song Qingming's slightly anxious question, Song Qingyu, who had just returned to the cave dwelling, hurriedly nodded and responded: "Seventh Brother, rest assured! I have already checked his injuries. Only the flesh was injured, and the meridians in his body were not damaged. I have also taken him to receive healing elixirs. After recuperating for a period of time, there should be no major problems!"
Hearing Song Qingyu's answer, Song Qingming felt relieved in his heart and nodded slightly.
"That's good. Go back and tell Yuanhao to let him stay in the cave dwelling to seclude himself first. He doesn't need to fight tomorrow. I will go to greet Junior Sister Xu on his behalf later.
Today has already suffered heavy losses. Tomorrow's battle will probably be even more dangerous. Xuanting and the others should also be exhorted. Everyone must pay more attention to their own safety tomorrow. They are all people with excellent cultivation talent among the younger generation of the family. Don't let them all be lost here."
In this support operation for "Guiyun Market," the Song family sent many cultivators, and several family Foundation Establishment elders such as Song Yuanhao also came here.
In the battle that just passed during the day, the Song family had more than a dozen casualties, and even Huang Siyuan and Song Yuanhao were injured in the battle.
Huang Siyuan's situation was slightly better. With Song Qingming taking care of her, she only suffered damage to her vitality. Song Yuanhao's injury was heavier. He was pierced through the abdomen by a Foundation Establishment peak demon beast, and he almost had his intestines exposed on the spot.
Fortunately, his head was still flexible, and he retreated to the market formation in time to heal his wounds, which prevented his injuries from continuing to worsen.
Although the damage to the flesh of Foundation Establishment cultivators is not a very serious injury, and they can recover quickly after taking healing elixirs, for the sake of stability, Song Qingming still decided not to let Song Yuanhao continue to participate in tomorrow's battle.
Song Yuanhao was already gifted, and now his cultivation has approached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He has a good chance of forming a core in the future. If he rashly participates in the battle and causes his injuries to worsen, it might affect his future cultivation path. Once that happens, the gain will not be worth the loss.
Previously, Song Yuanli was seriously injured in the battle of "Jin Shan Market," and it is not known when he will be able to recover. Song Qingming is now very worried about Song Yuanhao's safety.
Once these talented juniors are delayed by the war, I am afraid that the family will have a situation of talent disconnection in the future, which is extremely unfavorable for the future development of the Song family.
Seeing Song Qingming so worried about Song Yuanhao's injuries, Song Qingyu recalled the clansmen who were injured and killed in "Jin Shan Market" before, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Seventh Brother, it's all my fault for not taking good care of Yuanli and Changlin and the others. Many clansmen died tragically at the hands of the demon beasts, but I could only watch helplessly. If I could be stronger and repel the demon beast's attack earlier, perhaps they would have a chance to survive."
"Qingyu, people have their own destiny. Some things have long been destined by heaven. Although you and I are cultivators, we cannot change the destiny of everyone around us. Don't blame yourself for this.
I have been the patriarch for many years, watching Sixth Uncle, Thirteenth Uncle, Big Brother, Second Sister and the others leave me one after another. How could I not want them to succeed in Foundation Establishment and Core Formation and move forward with us.
But on the road of cultivation, how can everything go as planned? Many things are not what we can change if we want to. Perhaps many clansmen will leave us in the future, but these will not stop you and me from protecting the family's footsteps forward."
"Seventh Brother! I know what you said is reasonable, but every time I think of Changlin and the others, I always feel bad in my heart. This once-in-a-century demon beast turmoil is becoming more and more dangerous, and I don't know if the family can pass it safely in the future."
Song Qingyu said this, and couldn't help but shed a few tears that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.
Even if she was strong enough in front of others, facing Song Qingming, this elder brother, Song Qingyu always couldn't fully control her emotions.
Seeing this, Song Qingming took the initiative to step forward and gently held her shoulders, and comforted: "Don't worry! I'm still here, these bad things will always pass!"
They were born in the turbulent Floating Yunshan Range cultivation world. The Song family could not avoid the demon beast turmoil after all. Both Song Qingyu and Song Qingming knew this very well in their hearts.
The once-in-a-century demon beast turmoil in the Floating Yunshan Range cultivation world, since Song Qingming has been cultivating for more than two hundred years, counting this turmoil, it is already the third demon beast turmoil he has encountered.
In the previous two demon beast turmoils, although the process had some twists and turns and sacrificed many clansmen, they eventually passed through without any danger, leading the family through this once-in-a-century disaster.
However, this demon beast turmoil is obviously more dangerous than the previous two. The great battle with the demon beasts has been fought for more than half a year. To be honest, Song Qingming has never had full certainty about whether the family can successfully pass through this disaster, and he is often worried about this matter.
Although because of Li Xuanyi's unexpected appearance, helping Song Qingyu and the others relieve the siege of "Jin Shan Market," the northeast of Wei Guo controlled by the Song family is currently safe and has not encountered other dangers.
But on the entire northern battlefield of Wei Guo, the demon beast army still occupies a great advantage. "Camel Yunshan" and "Mount Tiexian Fortress" have both fallen.
If the sect cannot hold "Guiyun Market," this most important defense line in the north of Wei Guo, then the demon beast army will drive straight in, and soon will sweep the entire north of Wei Guo, and the Qinghe County where the Song family is located will definitely be difficult to be spared.
By then, the entire Funiu Mountain ancestral vein will fall into the hands of the demon beast army. Even if the Song family can evacuate the cultivators on the mountain, it will be difficult to take all the mortals down the mountain.
If the family mortals are lost in the turmoil, the future development of the Song family will inevitably be deeply affected, and I am afraid it will be difficult to recover its vitality within a hundred years.
In addition, the family's third-grade spiritual mountains and the many industries operated for many years, such as mineral veins and markets, will all be lost.
Once these many industries that the Song family relies on for survival are lost, where will the Song family go in the future and how to maintain the livelihood of many clansmen will be a huge problem for the family.
"By the way! Seventh Brother, how is Sister-in-law's situation?" After being sad for a while, Song Qingyu remembered Huang Siyuan's injuries and hurriedly asked Song Qingming.
Song Qingming heard this and nodded directly: "Siyuan just suffered some damage to her vitality, it is of no major consequence. She has taken healing elixirs and will be able to recover tomorrow!
Qingyu, the demon beast army didn't take much advantage today. Tomorrow's war situation will probably be even more dangerous. You must also be careful and try not to be too far away from me."
In the battle during the day, although they, the Jin Dan cultivators, fought fiercely, neither side took much advantage, and there were no excessive casualties.
The demon beast side lost a "Black Buffalo Demon King." On the human cultivator side, in addition to Huang Siyuan suffering minor injuries, several people including Chu Fengping and Hu Qingyun also suffered injuries of varying severity.
Among them, Hu Qingyun's injury was the heaviest. One arm was torn off by a Demon King, and he barely escaped back to the mountain-protecting formation to save his life. He could no longer play in the next great battle.
It was Li Xuanyi's performance that made the "Xiaoyao Sect" people feel quite surprised. After the battle, Sect Master Bai Yuxian personally came to congratulate her and gave Li Xuanyi many spiritual objects as a reward.
After resting for a night, early the next morning, just as the sky was getting bright, fierce roaring sounds rang out outside again, and the demon beast army attacked the market formation again.
The human side wanted to hold on for reinforcements, and the demon race side also knew this situation. Once the war was delayed for too long, the "Xiaoyao Sect" might invite more reinforcements, which would only be more and more unfavorable to them.
Therefore, the "Brother Molong Demon Emperor" and the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" knew very well in their hearts that now is the best time to capture "Guiyun Market."
"Fellow Daoists, the reinforcements of the Tianji Sect are on the way. We only need to hold on for at most two more days to counterattack the demon beast army and relieve the current predicament of Guiyun Market. I hope everyone will work together to help our sect block the attack of the demon beast army."
After simply boosting morale before the battle, just like yesterday, Li Mu and Bai Yuxian and others took the lead to contain the two Nascent Soul Demon Emperors, Brother Molong and Brother Chiyun, in the demon beast army.
Song Qingming and other Jin Dan cultivators rushed out of the formation and fought with the Demon King army on the other side. The low-tier Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation cultivators below also soon clashed with the demon beast army. The opponents of both sides were roughly the same as yesterday. Only this time, the demon beast side obviously paid more attention to Li Xuanyi, a Jin Dan mid-stage cultivator with somewhat strong strength, and sent a Jin Dan late-stage great demon king with extraordinary strength to specifically deal with her, who only had the cultivation of the fifth layer of Jin Dan.
Although Li Xuanyi's fighting ability was strong, her cultivation was only at the fifth layer of Jin Dan after all. Compared with the opponent, the gap was very obvious.
At this time, facing a Jin Dan late-stage great demon king, even with the assistance of a Jin Dan mid-stage "Corpse Puppet," she was also a bit strenuous and could only barely deal with it. In the battle, she gradually fell into a disadvantage and did not fight as easily as yesterday.
Song Qingming was the same as before, while desperately dealing with the "Giant Elephant Demon King," while taking care of Huang Siyuan, who was dealing with a Jin Dan mid-stage Demon King alone not far away.
Only Song Qingyu fought relatively easily here. Facing a Jin Dan mid-stage Demon King whose cultivation was obviously higher than her own, Song Qingyu was not suppressed by that Demon King, but because of the restraint of the cultivation technique, she occupied quite a bit of the upper hand after a fierce battle.
Although the opponents of these Jin Dan cultivators were not much different from yesterday, after the battle started this time, the many Demon Kings on the demon beast side obviously fought much more desperately than before.
After fighting for only half an hour, Zhao Menglian, who was responsible for containing a Jin Dan late-stage great demon king on the other side, was slapped away by the opponent, vomiting blood on the spot and retreating to the market formation with injuries.
Zhao Menglian was injured when she retreated from "Mount Tiexian Fortress" before, and her old injuries had not fully healed. This time, she added new injuries, and her situation was really not optimistic.
However, at present, it is a critical battle for the sect. These sect elders definitely cannot withdraw from the battle at will and transfer the pressure on the battlefield to others.
Even if Zhao Menglian had some injuries, after a little rest, she could only bite the bullet and fly out of the mountain-protecting formation to continue to contain her opponent.
Other "Xiaoyao Sect" elders were also the same. Chu Fengping and Daoist Guangling also had many injuries on their bodies in the formation yesterday. Although they were firmly suppressed by their opponents as soon as they entered the field, they still gritted their teeth and insisted on staying on the battlefield.
Even if they could no longer contend with their opponents head-on, they had to find ways to contain their opponents as much as possible, so that these Demon Kings would not have too many opportunities to besiege other teammates and attack the mountain-protecting formation behind them.
The battle between Jin Dan cultivators below became more and more intense, and the Nascent Soul cultivators fighting above were also the same.
The "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor," who was contained by Bai Yuxian and the others for a day yesterday, had already held a breath in his heart when he fought again today, and had long lost the arrogance and contempt of yesterday.
As soon as they fought, the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" exerted his magical powers with all his might, giving the "Xiaoyao Sect" people quite a bit of pressure from the beginning.
Bai Yuxian and others saw this and also cast spells with all their might, urging the "Diamond Sky Net Great Formation" to transform into a Diamond phantom to resist the fierce attack of the other party.
The "Diamond Sky Net Formation" is a treasure of the sect left by the first generation of predecessors of the "Xiaoyao Sect." Under the urging of four Jin Dan late-stage cultivators, it can contend with an ordinary Nascent Soul-stage cultivator.
Since the establishment of the sect thousands of years ago, the "Xiaoyao Sect" has relied on this formation to pass through several sect crises. This time, facing such a dangerous demon beast turmoil, Bai Yuxian and the others also knew the importance of their containment of the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" in this battle.
The many low-tier demon beasts or Jin Dan Demon Kings fighting below, even if the human cultivator side is at a disadvantage, even if some demon beasts attack the mountain-protecting formation, it is difficult to break the formation in a short time and will not have a great impact on the entire war situation.
But if they cannot contain the opponent "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor," and let this Nascent Soul Demon Emperor free up his hands, the impact on the battlefield below will be unimaginable, and it is possible for the demon beast side to win the entire battle in a short time.
Once "Guiyun Market" falls into the hands of the enemy, the huge price and sacrifice paid by the sect in the past half year will all be wasted and turned into nothing.
Therefore, facing the fierce attack of the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor," Bai Yuxian and the others were under great pressure at this moment, and could only try their best to contain the other party, not letting the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" have a chance to leave the battlefield.
After the two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour, seeing that they still couldn't take down the opponent and couldn't get rid of the entanglement of the "Diamond Sky Net Formation," the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" also became a bit anxious in his heart.
Before the battle, the "Brother Molong Demon Emperor" had already told him that the demon race army is now powerful, and it is the best time to capture "Guiyun Market." He must find a way to open the situation from his side as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once the time is delayed for too long, and the "Xiaoyao Sect" waits for reinforcements from other places, the power between the two sides will soon be leveled. By then, if they want to capture "Guiyun Market" again, it will not be as easy as it is now.
Seeing the Diamond phantom that had just been forced back by him, under the control of Bai Yuxian and the others, stop its figure again and attack him quickly, a trace of annoyance flashed in the eyes of the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor."
"Hmph! I don't have time to continue entangling here, you guys just stay here properly!"
Facing the desperate entanglement of Bai Yuxian and the others, the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" muttered to himself, and a trace of decisiveness appeared on his face at this time.
After the Diamond phantom approached, the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" suddenly raised his hand and sacrificed two black and white spheres magic treasures. Under his control, this magic treasure rotated rapidly, attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around it.
The Diamond phantom controlled by Bai Yuxian and the others had just arrived beside the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" when it was tightly adsorbed by this magic treasure, and even the figures of the few of them were tightly adsorbed by the huge suction force formed by the black and white sphere magic treasure.
"Hehe! This Two-Yi Heavenly Star Bead, I borrowed it from Brother Brother Molong today specifically for you. Everyone, just stay here for a while."
Seeing Bai Yuxian and the others desperately urging the "Diamond Sky Net Great Formation," but unable to get rid of the huge suction force of the "Two-Yi Heavenly Star Bead" for a while, the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" revealed a few traces of proud light laughter.
Fighting with them yesterday, although he occupied some advantages, the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" still found it difficult to get rid of the entanglement of Bai Yuxian and the others.
Therefore, after going back, he discussed with the "Brother Molong Demon Emperor" and borrowed the "Two-Yi Heavenly Star Bead," this heavy treasure, from his hand to deal with the "Diamond Sky Net Great Formation" of Bai Yuxian and the others.
When Bai Yuxian and others fought with the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" yesterday, he did not show this magic treasure, so they were a bit careless when they fought just now, which is why they were trapped in place by the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" using the "Two-Yi Heavenly Star Bead."
"Not good! Hurry and find a way to get out of trouble, otherwise once the Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor attacks the mountain-protecting formation, the mountain-protecting formation will not be able to hold on for long."
Seeing the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" laugh proudly, turn around and go down, Bai Yuxian and the others were extremely anxious in their hearts.
It's just that this "Two-Yi Heavenly Star Bead" magic treasure is a proud heavy treasure of the "Brother Molong Demon Emperor."
Once an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator is trapped by this treasure, it is difficult to break free in a short time. Bai Yuxian and the others, even if they desperately urge the "Diamond Sky Net Great Formation," cannot move a bit at this moment, and can only watch the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" leave proudly.
After arriving above the battlefield below, the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" did not pay attention to the people fighting, and came directly above the mountain-protecting formation of "Guiyun Market."
The "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" with a serious face stretched out his hands to gather a large group of magic power, and slammed it down toward the mountain-protecting formation below with all his might, soon making this mountain-protecting formation that was already a bit fragile tremble violently.
"Boom!"
The violent roaring sound from the mountain-protecting formation behind soon alarmed the many cultivators and demon beast armies fighting. Everyone's eyes looked at the sky above the mountain-protecting formation involuntarily.
"It's the Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor, terrible, the mountain-protecting formation is about to be unable to hold on!"
Seeing the figure of the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" in the distance, Song Qingming and the others all changed their faces, revealing a few traces of shock. Unexpectedly, this Nascent Soul Demon Emperor had already gotten rid of the entanglement of the "Diamond Sky Net Formation" and came to attack the market mountain-protecting formation.
The mountain-protecting formation of "Guiyun Market," after the continuous attacks of the demon beast army for days, was already very fragile, and its power only remained at three or four percent.
Just now, the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" only hit it once, and the spiritual light of the market formation had dimmed a lot. If the other party was allowed to attack like this unscrupulously, I am afraid that in at most a quarter of an hour, the formation would face collapse.
Once the mountain-protecting formation is broken by the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor," the "Xiaoyao Sect" side will have no danger to defend. Next, "Guiyun Market" will inevitably fall into the hands of the demon beasts quickly.
Relying on the mountain-protecting formation of "Guiyun Market," the human cultivator side fought so hard. If they were to fight with the powerful demon beast army in the wild, the result of this war can be imagined, and the human cultivator side has no chance of winning.
Seeing the figure of the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" suddenly appear in the sky above, attacking the mountain-protecting formation, the many cultivators in the market who controlled the city-defending magic tools hurriedly turned the direction of the attack, launching attacks toward the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" in the sky, trying to stop the other party from attacking the mountain-protecting formation.
However, these second-tier and third-tier "Flying Cloud Crossbows" and "Spiritual Light Giant Cannons" had some effect on ordinary demon beasts and Demon Kings, but in front of the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor," this powerful Nascent Soul Demon Emperor, they seemed to be dwarfed.
The "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" standing in place faced these swarming attacks, just raised his hand to release a protective spiritual light, and easily resisted them, and gathered a group of powerful magic power spheres in his hands again.
"Demon Emperor, don't be so rampant!"
Just when the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor" was preparing to attack the mountain-protecting formation below again, a figure suddenly killed out from the mountain-protecting formation below, and under the cover of the attacks around, came before the "Brother Chiyun Demon Emperor."
This person was Daoist Guangling, who had just fought with the Demon King, was not the opponent, and had retreated to the mountain-protecting formation to rest in a somewhat embarrassed manner. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 695 =====
This person was none other than True Person Guangling, who had just been battling the Demon King, proved no match for his opponent, and had retreated in a somewhat disheveled state back into the mountain-protecting formation to recover. (End of chapter)
