“Fellow cultivators of Red Rock Mountain, the Alien Demons are powerful! Quickly retreat with me into the formation to defend against the enemy together!”
A shout filled with extreme anxiety suddenly rang out from the side.
Zhang Ling scanned with his divine sense and immediately recognized the source of the voice as the big bearded man stationed at Azure Moon Lake.
At the same time, he also noticed that the original three Alien Demons who were manipulating the Azure Pennant had gathered into a group of five at some point.
Each of them held a small azure pennant, constantly firing off a large number of wind blades, like a cyan whirlwind, sweeping towards the surroundings.
At this, he was also taken aback. Among them was actually an Alien Demon in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. These people's magical instruments seemed to be specially made, and when combined, their power was not comparable to ordinary magical instruments.
Hearing this voice, most of the cultivators on their side retreated and approached the white mist.
“Retreat quickly!”
At this moment, the five Alien Demons were heading towards him, Zhang Ling quickly retrieved his magical instruments, while fully urging the Flying Spirit Shield in front of him, rushing towards the white mist.
He withstood the opponent's attack and arrived at the edge of the white mist in the blink of an eye.
“Senior brother, save me!”
Suddenly, a delicate shout came from behind. It turned out to be Tian Jing, the woman, who was trapped by the Alien Demon who had originally attacked him and another enemy.
Zhang Ling expressionlessly flicked his left arm, and several black rays flashed out, turning into seven or eight thick iron thorns, sweeping towards one of them.
After releasing this attack, he flashed into the white mist without looking back. As for whether this woman could escape, he no longer cared.
His eyes were filled with white, unable to see where he was, but the surrounding white mist rolled a few times, and a passage appeared.
Zhang Ling rushed through the passage without hesitation. His eyes lit up, and he arrived in front of a stone pavilion.
This was a huge lake-center rock more than twenty zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length) in size, with a gray rock pavilion built in the center of the rock.
And there was a layer of solidified blue light cover on the stone pavilion. Inside it was a black pillar several chi(尺: chi, a unit of length) long and three zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length) high, with dense patterns flowing on it.
“Demon Sealing Stone!”
This was the Demon Sealing Stone of Azure Moon Lake.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, for saving my life.”
A figure flashed behind him, and Tian Jing also entered the formation. The woman's hair was disheveled, and her red dress was mostly broken, but she had no injuries.
“It was just a small effort.” Zhang Ling nodded to the woman and looked at the other cultivators.
Around the stone pavilion, there stood eleven or twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators. Zhang Ling glanced at them, some of whom he did not recognize, but most of them were cultivators who had come from Red Rock Mountain to provide reinforcements.
Seeing this, he turned his head to look outside the white mist.
First, he saw a person who had just run to the outside of the white mist. Then a cyan light flashed, and a wind blade cut the person in half.
“Ah, it's Senior Brother Hao Ming.”
Tian Jing's face turned pale as she exclaimed. Seeing this, Zhang Ling's face also darkened. This senior brother, whose strength was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, had fallen here.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.
Soon, the sounds of fighting outside the white mist dissipated. The cultivators who had not entered were naturally killed by the Alien Demons.
At the moment, among the cultivators in the formation, besides the seven or eight disciples who were at the Qi Refining stage, the rest were Foundation Establishment cultivators like them. Counting the numbers, there were only sixteen people left.
And although the Alien Demons outside had suffered casualties, their numbers were still three or four more than them. At this moment, they sent out two teams of five, led by two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and launched an attack on the white mist cover.
One of the five-man teams, manipulating the huge Azure Pennant, formed a large number of wind blades, constantly impacting the formation.
The other team of cultivators sat cross-legged on the water, crossed their hands, and chanted incantations. In their center floated a fist-sized red precious bead.
The precious bead spun around, and firelight condensed on it. After more than ten breaths, it formed a huge fireball with a diameter of about two zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length), which was project over.
The attack was powerful, and every strike made the white mist cover tremble for a while.
Everyone saw the situation outside, and their faces were gloomy. Zhang Ling flipped his hand and took out two pills from a jade bottle and threw them into his mouth. These were pills that quickly restored spiritual power.
Although the fight just now was not long, it had consumed 20% of the spiritual power in his body. There was a danger to his life at any time, and he had to keep his spiritual power abundant.
“Everyone, don't be nervous. The formation here is powerful. It is enough to maintain it for a period of time. As long as we persevere for half an hour, the Immortal City will definitely have reinforcements arrive.” The big bearded man said to everyone in a muffled voice. It was considered to be cheering everyone up.
“Is what you said true?” Suddenly a cold voice came. It was the rogue cultivator Zhong Ze who asked with a gloomy face. At the moment, he was sitting on the ground without any image, panting, obviously the battle just now had consumed a lot.
“What I said is true. Before this place was besieged, the stationed Uncle Wang sent several rescue messages. As long as we hold on for a moment, these Alien Demons will definitely retreat. Everyone, please take action quickly to reduce some of the pressure on the formation.”
After that, this person led the remaining cultivators to release various magical instruments and attack the Alien Demons outside. Seeing this, the cultivators who had come from Red Rock Mountain to provide reinforcements had nothing to say and joined in.
Now everyone was in the same boat, and the formation must not be broken.
The target of everyone's attack was naturally the two teams of Alien Demons that posed the greatest threat to the formation, but beside them stood late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, leading the remaining Alien Demons to intercept.
Their attack could only slightly delay the Alien Demons.
The Alien Demons outside were specially selected, not only did they have joint secret techniques, but also special magical instruments. It was clear at a glance that they were elite troops.
For a time, the two sides were deadlocked, forming a tug-of-war between attack and defense.
“A dignified Golden Core cultivator actually does this kind of sneak attack.” Suddenly a loud shout came from the sky.
“Hehe, what a joke. You can't leave today.”
It was seen that the green mist in the sky had weakened by more than half, and a large red cloud was rapidly devouring the green mist.
On the other side, countless sword lights formed into light and shadows and besieged, making a low burst sound, pressing the green mist to constantly shrink.
“Want to keep this old man, just rely on the two of you. Han Yu, your Red Rock Mountain has been breached at this moment. The number of high-level cultivators that my clan has dispatched is not just one.”
“Fellow Daoist, don't be afraid of the wind flashing your tongue. The Demon Sealing Stone here has not been broken. Even if my Red Rock Mountain is attacked, you will not be able to break the great formation in a short time. Han will kill you and then return to assist is not too late.”
“Hmph, you are still the same arrogant, underestimating my clan's cultivators. This old man wants to see who lives and who dies today.”
It was seen that the green mist in the sky suddenly sank, and then flashed a few times and disappeared.
“Old thief, stop!”
Then the red cloud also flashed and quickly chased to the west. At the same time, the sword-wielding cultivator also turned into a blue light and chased after him.
The three Golden Core powerhouses chased and fled, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye. For a time, the faces of Zhang Ling and other cultivators were naturally neither happy nor sad.
These Golden Core powerhouses didn't even think about solving the troubles here first. Just as Zhang Ling was thinking this in his heart.
Suddenly, a commotion occurred outside the white mist cover. It was seen that the lake water suddenly rolled up madly.
Forming huge water tornado that shot straight into the sky. Seeing this, the Alien Demons outside also stopped attacking, watching this scene in astonishment.
Ding Ling Ling!
Then everyone heard a crisp bell sound in their ears, and a layer of grey-black air inexplicably rose on the surface of the pool, wrapping both the Alien Demons and them.
Everyone was shocked and didn't know what was happening.
