Chapter 280: Let One Hand Overpower the Great Monk
The famous ancient formation "Shangyuan Extinguishing Light Formation" of Tiantian City has been activated long ago, and a layer of hazy light is guarding the huge city.
Ye Changsheng and Wei Wuya came to the south city wall and looked out at a line of people gradually appearing on the horizon ahead.
That was the main force of the Mulan people , which seemed to have about 20,000 to 30,000 people. The lowest level of cultivators were at the Foundation Establishment stage, while high-level cultivators at the Jindan and Yuanying stages, which were rarely seen in normal times, could be seen everywhere.
These Mulan people were obviously well-trained. Although they were a coalition of many tribes, they had been fighting their arch-enemy the Tuwu people for years, so it was common for the mages from their various tribes to form a coalition, so their coordination was extremely skilled.
The most eye-catching thing was the dozen or so huge wild beasts in the army of mages. They were as big as hills. Many cultivators in the Nine-Nation Alliance had seen the horror of these wild beasts, so when they saw the appearance of these beasts, there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
Wei Wuya couldn't help but frown as he looked at the aggressive lineup from the opposite side.
Judging from the current situation, the difference in strength between the two sides is quite huge. For a moment, he lost confidence in whether he could defend Tiantian City this time.
Behind the two of them stood dozens of Nascent Souls from the Nine Nations Alliance and other forces in Tiannan.
Everyone had a worried look on their face and frowned. No one felt that they could win this battle.
There are only fifty or sixty Tiannan Yuanying people on this side, while there are at least a hundred Yuanying-level great mages on the opposite side. How can they defeat them?
Moreover, according to intelligence, the Mulan people have three great monks, and even if Ye Changsheng is included in the Tiantian City, there are only two great monks.
There is a complete disparity in strength. Even with the help of the ancient formation of Tiantian City, it may not be able to stop it.
At the very least, if the opponent's great monk-level combat power were to take action, this Shangyuan Extinguishing Light Formation would most likely be broken.
As soon as the Mulan army appeared, the morale of the Nine-Nation Alliance immediately became unsettled, and even Wei Wuya's face darkened.
He sighed softly and said to Ye Changsheng, "Perhaps I should consider withdrawing some of my forces first!"
"Thinking about failure before the fight even starts will only cause morale to collapse!" Ye Changsheng responded.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the group of monks gathered in Tiantian City are a group of scattered sand. Now seeing the huge momentum of the Mulan people, I wonder how many of them are considering escaping.
Leaving aside the cultivators of the Nine-Nation Alliance, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the other forces certainly had no intention of fighting to the death with the Nine-Nation Alliance.
As long as Wei Wuya starts to arrange the retreat, this group of people will immediately lose their fighting spirit, and the subsequent fight will only be perfunctory.
Ye Changsheng understood the thoughts of these Yuanying monsters very well. This group of people could only fight a favorable battle or a war with equal strength. If they were caught in an unfavorable situation, they would run faster than anyone else.
Don't ever count on this group of people to fight hard.
Wei Wuya frowned when he heard this. How could he not understand what the people behind him were thinking?
He knew what the consequences of arranging a retreat would be. The Nine- Nation Alliance would inevitably fail in this battle, and Tiantian City would also be occupied by others.
However, he had to make such a decision because he believed that the limited force in Tiantian City alone was not enough to stop the enemy.
Once the enemy attacks, retreating at that time will inevitably increase the losses of the Nine-Nation Alliance.
Wei Wuya’s idea was to abandon Tiantian City, preserve the manpower, and wait for reinforcements from other forces in Tiannan to arrive before engaging in a decisive battle.
However, Ye Changsheng believed that the current situation was not such that he could not fight. With the help of the Shangyuan Extinguishing Light Array, Tiantian City should be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
Both of them made their judgments based on each other's strength, but they had different perceptions of their own strength.
Wei Wuya thought that Ye Changsheng could at most block one of the great cultivators on the opposite side. In this way, one of the great cultivators on the opposite side would be free and could attack at will.
A great monk who can freely roam the battlefield is extremely dangerous and is a huge threat to the Nascent Soul monks of the Nine-Nation Alliance.
Once the enemy seizes the opportunity and kills one or two Nascent Souls on our side, the morale of Tiantian City will immediately collapse.
Therefore, he planned to retreat and not engage in direct combat with the opponent, but to use the Shangyuan Mieguang Formation to resist the opponent.
Even though the Mulan people are so powerful, it will take at least a month to break through the Shangyuan Extinguishing Light Array.
Such a long time is enough for the Nine-Nation Alliance to withdraw calmly.
Wei Wuya was about to say something when suddenly, three rays of light flew out from the opposite camp and rushed towards this side.
A skinny old man, a dwarf, and a middle-aged Confucian scholar, these three are the three great masters of the Mulan people.
"Let's go and meet these three people!" Wei Wuya took back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and said with a cold face.
The two men transformed into two shocking rainbows and flew out of the range covered by the Shangyuan Light-Destroying Array, stopping more than a hundred feet away from the three people opposite.
"Wei Wuya, have you guys in Tiannan become so weak that you need a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator to hold the fort? Hehe, where are Zhiyang and the old demon Hehuan?"
Among the three people opposite, the short man took a look at Ye Changsheng, then laughed and said sarcastically.
"Master Bi, you will know whether Tiannan is strong or weak later. Now is not the time for you to speak nonsense!" Wei Wuya said with a sneer.
"This must be Fellow Daoist Ye Changsheng. I heard that this person is someone that even the three great cultivators of Tiannan cannot defeat together. Today we will kill him to prove that you three great cultivators of Tiannan are just in name only!" said the middle-aged Confucian scholar.
Wei Wuya sneered when he heard this, but Ye Changsheng said calmly:
"This must be Mulan's Master Zhong, right? I heard that you couldn't even defeat my junior brother who is in the early stage of Yuanying. I wonder how Master Zhong has the nerve to come here and speak nonsense?"
“You…” Upon hearing this, Master Zhong’s expression changed and suddenly became gloomy.
It was a shame for him that Han Li, who was in the early Nascent Soul stage, escaped from his hands. Now that his scars had been exposed by Ye Changsheng, he naturally felt extremely bad.
"So that man is your junior fellow apprentice. Very good. I will kill you first today, and then I will kill that man after I conquer Tiannan!" said the divine master surnamed Zhong coldly.
"You don't have much ability, but you have a big mouth!" Ye Changsheng said coldly.
At this time, the skinny old man Ye, one of the three great divine masters on the opposite side, spoke up: "Wei Wuya, if you Tiannan can accept our conditions and give up half of the territory, then we don't have to fight this war anymore!"
"It's a fool's dream!" Wei Wuya said coldly.
Taking away half of Tiannan's territory, not to mention the impact on the other three major forces, at least the Nine-Nation Alliance will no longer exist.
Wei Wuya was too lazy to bargain with the other party for such a ridiculous condition and directly refused.
"It seems that there is no point in saying more, so we can only fight a life-and-death battle! However, before we start the battle, let us try our hand first and see if one of you, Tiannan, who is in the late Nascent Soul stage and the other in the middle Nascent Soul stage, can stop the three great divine masters of our Mulan!" The skinny old man said bluntly.
"After all, we have to fight to see the truth!" Wei Wuya said indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark green poisonous cloud emerged from his body, wrapped him up, and rushed towards the most powerful master Mulan on the opposite side.
Seeing this, the skinny old man sneered, then rushed out and faced Wei Wuya.
The dwarf named Bi also followed, intending to team up against Wei Wuya alone.
Ye Changsheng, who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, was naturally handed over to the Confucian scholar named Zhong to deal with.
In the opinion of the three great divine masters of Mulan, with the strength of the Confucian scholar named Zhong, it should not be difficult to deal with him even if that mid-stage cultivator has a great reputation in Tiannan.
The skinny old man and the dwarf named Bi faced off against Wei Wuya, and it was an overwhelming victory. The Confucian scholar named Zhong faced off against Ye Changsheng, and it was also an overwhelming victory.
In short, it can be summed up in one sentence: the advantage is mine!
In both camps, the Mulan people had confident smiles on their faces, while the Tiannan monks in Tiantian City had gray and dejected looks.
Obviously, facing such a situation, the Tiannan people could not win, and the city of Tiantian could not be defended.
Those who are quick-witted are already thinking about how to find a way out for themselves.
The expressions of the monks from both camps were naturally seen by these people in the sky.
The scholar surnamed Zhong showed a hint of sarcasm on his face and said lightly: "It seems that none of the people behind you have any hope for you!"
"I heard that you relied on your speed to fight against the great monk. I can beat a man like you with just one hand!"
The Confucian scholar named Zhong spoke words that were extremely arrogant.
At the same time, he was not arrogant at all.
His figure flickered and a ball of silver light rose from his body, making his entire body blurry. The next moment, two identical figures separated from him.
Opposite Ye Changsheng, three middle-aged Confucian scholars suddenly appeared. All three of them exuded the aura of late-stage great monks.
"The art of incarnation? Haha, I heard that the spiritual arts of you Mulan people are varied. Today I finally got to see it!" Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile.
The methods used by the Confucian scholar named Zhong opposite him reminded him of the first secret technique of Taoism, the Three Pure Ones.
It is said that it is also an extremely advanced technique of incarnation, but unfortunately, it has long been lost.
Now, the method used by the divine master Mulan named Zhong is obviously a similar magical technique.
"Mulan's spiritual arts are profound and extensive. How can you people from Tiannan guess it!" Three figures said at the same time, each stretching out a large hand shining with silver light and grabbing towards Ye Changsheng.
Seeing this giant hand that seemed to be made of pure silver, Ye Changsheng had no doubt that even an early Nascent Soul cultivator with defensive magic weapons would not be able to withstand such an attack.
This is obviously another kind of Mulan spiritual art. Even if these Mulan monks do not have any magic weapons, these spiritual arts alone are enough to make them the best in the world.
A green round shield flew up from Ye Changsheng's body. The shield was extremely exquisite, with a transparent crystal inlaid in the center, emitting brilliant light.
The shield rotated, and green light burst out , stopping above Ye Changsheng's head, firmly holding up the three huge silver palms.
At the same time, a green light suddenly flashed on Ye Changsheng's body and he disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the Confucian scholar named Zhong immediately became alert. He also had some understanding of the Tiannan monk in front of him.
It is said that the other party possesses a magical power similar to teleportation and is extremely fast.
He immediately focused his mind and looked around, trying to prevent the other party from suddenly appearing and attacking him.
"boom!"
Just as this thought flashed through the mind of the Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong, Ye Changsheng suddenly appeared in front of one of his incarnations, his body bursting with golden light, and punched him.
After a loud earth-shattering noise, the incarnation of the Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong had no power to resist at all. It exploded and turned into streams of light and dissipated.
"What?"
"This is impossible!"
…
As soon as the two men fought, the Confucian scholar named Zhong suffered a great loss and one of his incarnations was blown up.
Seeing this scene, not only did the Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong feel incredible, but the other cultivators who were paying attention to the battle between the two sides were even more shocked.
“Whoosh!”
Ye Changsheng flashed again and instantly appeared in front of the Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong. A trace of shock flashed in the eyes of the Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong.
At the same time, he and his incarnation simultaneously cast a defensive spiritual spell. In an instant, layers of silver light flew out, like petals, wrapping him up.
Ye Changsheng threw out a shocking punch, hitting the silver flower with a shocking loud noise, and the defensive magic was blasted apart.
At the same time, a mirror appeared above Ye Changsheng's head. The mirror rotated, and a purple light shone on the body of the Confucian scholar named Zhong.
Purple flames appeared out of nowhere and burned fiercely. In an instant, they spread to the whole body of the scholar named Zhong, turning him into a purple fire man.
A scream came from the Confucian scholar named Zhong, and his incarnation flew out at an extremely fast speed, retreating hundreds of feet. At the same time, his real body was instantly burned to ashes by the purple flames.
A hundred feet away, the silver incarnation's light surged and its aura suddenly became much stronger.
The silver light faded away, revealing the pale face of the scholar surnamed Zhong. At the critical moment, he switched his original body and incarnation and used the incarnation to face the disaster.
The fight lasted only three moves and he was nearly killed by the man in front of him!
“Whoosh!”
As soon as the Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong's original body and incarnation were transformed, he heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of a mocking smile on Ye Changsheng's mouth.
"not good!"
The Confucian scholar surnamed Zhong shouted in his heart, his figure suddenly flashed, and he quickly hid to the side.
A beam of red light passed through his body at lightning speed, easily breaking through the shield he had formed with an extremely powerful Mulan spiritual technique, and crashed into his body.
The scholar surnamed Zhong groaned, one of his arms flew up, streaks of blood scattered into the sky, and his figure flashed and appeared dozens of feet away.
At the critical moment, the great monk still avoided Ye Changsheng's fatal blow. The broken arrow failed to pierce his forehead and shatter his Nascent Soul, but broke one of his arms.
This really means giving up one hand!
