Chapter 317 Chaotic Battle
Seeing that the other party wanted to escape, the black-clothed woman quickly put away the flower basket in her hand and stepped into the air to chase after him.
"Since you are here, why are you in such a hurry to leave!"
The red flame cloud had just flown a distance when a huge white sword suddenly appeared in front of it and stopped it. The one holding the white sword was the old man in white who had previously stopped the foundation-building cultivator who had escaped from the mountain.
The old man in white was named Fang Ziquan, and he was the Jindan cultivator of Lingyin Sect who organized the siege of Qingniu Ridge.
After discovering the whereabouts of Wu Wenlong's group of cultivators half a month ago, the foundation-building cultivator in charge of investigating the matter in Lingyin Sect quickly reported the matter to the Jindan elder of the sect.
Seeing that so many foundation-building masters of the other party had gathered in Qingniu Ridge, Fang Ziquan also guessed that there might be Jindan cultivators behind them. After some thought, he personally went to the front line to invite another Jindan cultivator, Li Yuxia, to work together to formulate this strategy of siege and attack.
After surrounding Qingniu Ridge for a few days, the Jindan cultivator behind the other side could not wait to kill him, and the two people who had been hiding on the side also appeared and surrounded him immediately.
Seeing the two men blocking him in the middle, the red-clothed man gradually became solemn, not as relaxed as when he came before.
In the distance, the three Jindan cultivators had already started fighting, and the Tianhai League cultivators on Qingniu Ridge had also rushed down the mountain and fought with the Lingyin Sect cultivators at the foot of the mountain.
"Don't fight, retreat quickly!"
Seeing that the Lingyin Sect had a large number of people, Wu Wenlong and his people did not choose to fight them head-on. They directly concentrated their strength to break a gap in the defense line arranged by the Lingyin Sect and escaped.
This gap was exactly the passage that the red-clothed man in the Jindan stage had broken when he came. When the Jindan cultivators left, the Lingyin Sect cultivators had not yet completely filled the gap, and most of the Tianhai League cultivators rushed out from here.
"Quick! Stop them, don't let anyone go!"
Seeing that the other party broke through the encirclement that was built with great difficulty in front, Wang Liangping, the leading foundation-building cultivator of Lingyin Sect, was immediately furious. He commanded the cultivators present to quickly block the gap, and led his own foundation-building cultivators to chase after Wu Wenlong and others who had escaped.
This time, the siege strategy was set by the sect elders themselves. Unexpectedly, after being temporarily interrupted by the opponent's Jindan cultivators, many people who rushed down the mountain immediately took advantage of this opportunity to escape. As the person in charge of coordinating this action, Wang Liangping really had a hard time. If the opponent escaped, he would not be able to explain the matter to the sect elders later.
Hearing Wang Liangping's shout, Song Qingming and other foundation-building cultivators did not dare to be sneaky here, and quickly chased after Wu Wenlong and others.
The Lingyin Sect had more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators than the other side, and there were also hundreds of Qi-refining cultivators who controlled the formation to contain the other side. It was impossible to win a direct battle with the other side. However, facing Wu Wenlong and his men who wanted to escape after breaking through the defense line, Song Qingming and his men had no good solution and could only bite the bullet and chase them.
They were all foundation-building cultivators. The other side was determined to escape, and it was difficult for cultivators of the same level with similar strength to stop the other side. Except for less than ten people from the Tianhai League who were unlucky and were blocked by them in time, the remaining more than 20 people escaped. It would be difficult to catch up with them with only the foundation-building cultivators present.
Anyway, no matter whether they could catch up or not, and how many people they could stop, Song Qingming and his men would try their best to chase them. After all, they were now carrying out combat missions under the eyes of the Jindan cultivators. Once they were found out for not working hard, it would be difficult to explain when they were investigated later.
Cao Rongxue, who was eager to make achievements, had taken out a jade token that could speed up his own escape speed and directly chased a cultivator who was slower and had been left alone. With her cultivation and magical powers, this person would definitely find it difficult to escape once caught up.
Song Qingming had not practiced any special escape speed skills, nor did he have any spiritual objects such as flying boats that could speed up his escape speed. He could only randomly choose an opponent with lower cultivation to chase him.
The foundation-building cultivators below had already started a chaotic battle and pursuit, and the three Jindan cultivators in the sky had also fought for dozens of rounds. Fortunately, they were all using their skills in the sky and did not affect the people below, otherwise the cultivators on both sides would inevitably be involved in it for no reason and lose their lives.
"You two, it seems that today is really a bad day for me, Liang, but you two think it's too simple to take me down without paying a price." After a fierce collision, the red-clothed man, who had already fallen behind, looked at the two people who surrounded him again with a vicious face and said sarcastically.
The red-clothed man of the Tianhai League was only at the third level of the Golden Core. At this moment, he was facing Fang Ziquan at the fifth level of the Golden Core, and there was also Li Yuxia at the second level of the Golden Core to help him. No matter how the fight went on, it was only a matter of time before the red-clothed man was defeated. He did not want to lose his life here, and had been trying to force his way out. Unfortunately, the other party had already seen through his intentions and had been on guard and did not give him the chance to escape.
"You are right, fellow Daoist. Junior Sister Li, it seems that we should be more serious and not hide anything." After Fang Ziquan and Li Yuxia looked at each other, they put away the contempt on their faces and became very serious.
Although they had the advantage of two to one, Fang Ziquan and the other two also knew that although the opponent was alone and weak, he had some magical powers and was not an easy opponent to defeat. Since the man in red had said so much, they had to give him enough.
"That's right! This is the battle that Liang wanted. What magical powers do you two Taoist friends have?"
Seeing that the two opponents' auras had changed greatly and they became serious, the man in red also laughed wildly and put all the red flames that had been wrapped around his body into a jade bottle in his hand, revealing his true face that had been hidden all the time.
Seeing that the other party actually took the initiative to put away the flames on his body, Fang Ziquan and the other two changed their faces, and their eyes were full of murderous intent. The two of them showed their magic weapons and launched a more fierce attack on the man in red than before.
Seeing that Fang Ziquan and Li Yuxia's attacks had already reached him, the man in red, who had not yet reacted, suddenly flashed a trace of determination in his eyes, and then threw the jade bottle he had been holding tightly in his hand into the air.
The jade bottle suddenly grew several times larger in the air, and then began to emit red lightning. When the lightning came into contact with the air outside, it made a terrifying sizzling sound.
"This is not good! Junior Sister Li, get out of the way!"
