Chapter 437: All Daoists unite to fight Shanglu
The giant halberd broke through the wind and came towards Zhao Wuyang, smashing down heavily. In an instant, the earth shook and dust and fog rose up.
At the critical moment, Cheng Yu was about to rush over to save him, but as soon as he raised his leg, a black shadow flashed by. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s magnolia.
Zhao Wuyang's chess formation turned the whole situation around.
Cheng Yu used the power of the chess formation and a powerful thunder spell to wipe out most of the demon army, and the rest were just wounded soldiers and disabled generals.
Among them, the white-headed hyena is the worst.
The white-headed hound was closest to Cheng Yu, so logically she should have suffered the least damage. However, when she was unable to move, she was swinging the whip with her arms raised high, which attracted many lightning bolts to her body. It was an unexpected disaster.
When Cheng Xi turned his head and saw the fallen white-headed beast, he was really shocked. Its huge body and its exploded and burnt hair made him look like someone's stove had exploded.
Relatively speaking, Fei Lian was much luckier.
Fei Lian was very agile and ordinary magic could not harm him at all, but Zhao Wuyang's chess formation arrived just in time. Just when Fei Lian was trapped and screaming, the thunder magic arrived at the right time and struck him right on the forehead.
Although he didn't seem to have suffered much damage and was not as badly injured as those demon soldiers, he had resisted the thunder magic after all. At this moment, he was sitting on the ground in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
The Demon General is as powerful as a Heavenly Marshal, so it is understandable that he can resist the ordinary thunder magic. After all, the punishment from Heaven, the thirty-six layers of thunder are just a minor punishment. The reason why he was dazed is probably because Cheng Yu's thunder magic was blessed by the power of the underworld drawn from the eternal sky.
At this moment, Sang Mu was freed from the blade by the sword spirit.
The pain came suddenly at first, and it made Sang Mu's eyes go dark. Fortunately, he recovered after a while, but he was still a little uncomfortable for a while, and could only gasp for breath while leaning on the long blade.
Shang Lu, who was at the center of the battlefield, was unharmed by the thunder. When the thunder came down, he didn't even move, and was still sitting cross-legged in the air.
The moment Shang Lu realized that he could move, he controlled the bronze man without hesitation and slashed towards Zhao Wuyang.
In Shang Lu's opinion, Zhao Wuyang, who is able to perform such magic, is the most dangerous one among all people and should be eliminated as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.
Fortunately, at the moment when Chengqie's thunder method ended, Zhao Wuyang lost all his netherworld power and was unable to hold on. Wan Gu Qiong Cang took advantage of the situation and forcibly ended the chess formation.
In theory, even if Zhao Wuyang fainted, the chess game would not end until the two sides decided the winner.
But the situation has changed, and the chess formation is no longer necessary, so Wan Gu Qiong Cang stopped on his own. Otherwise, if he continued, it would consume Zhao Wuyang's lifespan.
A chess formation will not unfold out of thin air for no reason, there must always be a basis for the technique.
As for why Wan Gu Qiong Cang did not show up this time, one reason was that the elixir had overdrawn Zhao Wuyang and might not be able to withstand his strength. The other reason was that even if he possessed Zhao Wuyang, Wan Gu Qiong Cang could not do anything with Zhao Wuyang's current body.
Instead of this, it is better to wait for someone to rescue him. Even if he really dies here, it is Zhao Wuyang's fate.
Moreover, in the eyes of the ancient sky, he saved Zhao Wuyang once or twice, but there was no reason for him to save him again and again, otherwise he would not be worthy of being his home.
After rescuing Zhao Wuyang, Xinyi felt relieved, but still had lingering fears. If he hadn't glanced at Shang Lu at the right time, it would have been too late.
After settling Zhao Wuyang far away, Xinyi appeared in front of Shang Lu again.
Faced with the twelve bronze men, the Taoists, who were left empty-handed, also surrounded them, while the others continued to deal with the remnants of the demon army.
This battle was really too difficult, but fortunately, Shang Lu was the only strong enemy left now, all thanks to Xiao Wuyang.
Facing the Taoist priests who were besieging him, Shang Lu sat calmly. He hooked his finger and ten bronze men lined up in a row in front of him, with two bronze men guarding both sides behind him.
This is strange. Isn't Shanglu invulnerable to swords and spears, and indestructible to magic? Why is he in a defensive posture this time?
Could it be that the thunder magic just now worked?
Everyone understood, and those who were good at magic all started to use the thunder seal, waiting for the opportunity, while those who were not good at it had already set out to meet the bronze man. However, their cultivation levels were uneven, and due to the huge disparity in strength, many people were defeated, and some were even destroyed by the clones of the blood talisman.
The huge weapons wielded by the three bronze men created gusts of strong wind. The Taoists staggered and were nearly blown away by the strong wind.
Fortunately, Shoucheng reacted quickly. He supported himself on the ground with his hands and used the earth technique. Clay hands broke out of the ground and firmly grasped everyone's feet.
Although everyone managed to keep their balance, they all became sitting ducks.
Isn't this just giving it to Shang Lu for free?
Sure enough, just when everyone was unsteady on their feet, three bronze men took advantage of the chaos, pierced the air with spears, and stabbed fiercely.
As danger was imminent, vines broke out of the ground, entwined and bound the bronze man. Several Taoist priests of the Kunwu sect had foreseen the danger and made the "Wood" spell in the chaos.
The vines were like snakes, constantly drilling into the gaps, attempting to destroy the mechanism.
However, they still thought too simply.
Shang Lu was not in a hurry, and commanded the remaining four bronze men to charge forward. Shoucheng secretly thought that something was not good, and while he retracted his magic, he reminded everyone to retreat quickly.
The Taoists dispersed, but their magic did not stop, and the vines still tightly controlled the bronze man.
But at this moment, Shang Lu moved his fingertips lightly, and the bronze man immediately turned red, and the vines turned into ashes in an instant.
The heat wave burned everyone's cheeks, and the firelight made the entire valley seem to be on fire. It was difficult for everyone to get close for a while, and they could only dodge the falling fireballs while carefully avoiding the attacking firemen.
In the panic, some people who were not good at martial arts had their talisman magic easily broken.
This is not a solution. Not to mention breaking into the Demon City, I'm afraid we will be wiped out here.
After Shoucheng rescued a Taoist who was nearly caught by the bronze man, he frowned and thought about a solution, and Xinyi also thought of this.
And while dodging just now, Xinyi also saw Zhanli hiding in the dark.
The Lu family's martial arts are good at surprise attacks. Xinyi has been practicing this kind of martial arts since he was a child, so he knew that Zhanli was waiting for an opportunity to strike. It seemed that he had some hidden tricks up his sleeve.
But in this case, someone must attract Shanglu.
Normally, with all the chaos going on now, it should be the best time, but Shang Lu placed two bronze men to protect him at his side, leaving Zhan Li no chance of a surprise attack.
It seems that someone needs to act as bait.
Xinyi was not good at facing the enemy head-on, but what happened three years ago made him realize that the reason he became what he is now was all due to "Lin Ying", and all his downfall was also due to "Lin Ying".
The Lu family’s “Flying Shadows in the Forest” can be both a strength and a weakness.
Therefore, after the battle between Yuan and Qing, Xinyi deeply realized that if he could not overcome it, he would repeat the same mistakes in the future.
Therefore, he, who was not good at facing the enemy head-on, tried to change in the past three years, not only to adapt to the current situation of having only one arm, but also to get rid of the constraints of being unable to deal with the enemy when facing adversity.
Just like the Shang Lu we are facing today, he cannot be subdued by just the hidden killing strategy.
Xinyi flashed in front of Shanglu, pulled out the short blade made of deer antlers, held it in her mouth, put the long and short blades together, and with a slight twist, the two knives became one long knife.
When it comes to weapon crafting, the mermaids are second to none in the mortal world and no one dares to claim to be first.
The deer antler blade that Luo Li had reforged could be used as a long blade of the sun and the moon when combined, which could be used to fight the enemy head-on; or as a double blade of long and short blades when separated, which could be used to kill the enemy in secret and invisibly.
Since she lost an arm three years ago, Xinyi has practiced for a long time before she mastered the knife-wielding technique she has today.
Today is the time to practice.
