Chapter 51: Attack on Holy Water Lake
According to Qingshi's plan, Xiang An ordered Wu Zheng to lead the garrison of 8,000 people to Sunjiaping, and hoard the troops outside the main gate for a feint attack. The bigger the noise, the better.
This army is just a local armed force, most of which are composed of ordinary people. Less than one-tenth of the non-commissioned officers are monks, but almost all of these monks are in the Qi-training realm. Only Wu Zheng and a few others are in the Qi-gathering realm. , but even Wu Zheng is not qualified to enter Tianlong Academy, so with their combat power, they can only feint. There is no possibility for them to break through Sunjiaping.
Wan Jin and others followed Wu Zheng.
After the assignment was completed, Qingshi led the original class of thirteen people to leave quietly, but a large circle was left to insert between Sunjiaping and the hill from the side.
Far away, Qingshi took out thirty-six array sticks and set up a shielding array that could move with Qingshi. Everyone hid in it and quietly moved forward together.
There were many hidden sentries and alarm-triggering formations along the way, but the formation methods were very poor. It seemed to Qingshi that there were flaws everywhere. Some of the flaws seemed to have been deliberately left by the people who set up the formations. Qingshi one by one. It took more than half an hour to resolve, and everyone sneaked into the big pond at the foot of the hill without anyone noticing.
This pond is located in the middle of the hill and Sunjiaping, about two miles away from the hill and Sunjiaping. It is the energy connection hub of the two formations made of bluestone.
There is no doubt that a warning array has been set up around the pond. This array is much more advanced than the one outside, but it also has loopholes. To Qingshi, this loophole does not look like an oversight, but rather seems to be intentional on the part of the person who set up the array. . Qingshi cracked it easily.
When they came to the edge of the pond, Qingshi and others did not find anyone guarding the Sun family. However, Qingshi still warned everyone to be careful not to leave the hiding array. It is estimated that someone on the hill must be keeping an eye on them at all times.
Qingshi took out thirty-six formation sticks again, and first set up a blinding formation in the direction of Sunjiaping, and then used the remaining thirty-six formation sticks to set up a blinding formation in the direction of the hill. A blinding array.
After setting up the formation, Qingshi took back the hiding formation, explained the plan again, and everyone split up and acted according to the plan. At this time, no matter looking from the direction of the hill or Sunjiaping, they were separated by the formation barrier laid by the bluestone. The people at the edge of the pond could not be seen unless the bluestone was willing to let them see it.
Qingshi took Zheng Fanyi and dived into the pond. Qingshi dived to the bottom of the lake and carefully looked at the layout of the magic array at the bottom of the lake. He felt that its level was mediocre.
Just as he was about to greet Zheng Fanyi, he suddenly noticed waves of energy coming from him. When he turned around, he saw Zheng Fanyi fighting with a giant crocodile-shaped monster with a long sword in his hand. The monster was more than three feet long, and it looked like it should be level four or more. A fifth-level dragon-like spiritual beast.
This monster is extremely powerful and flexible in the water. It launched a ferocious attack and wanted to swallow the intruder in one bite. Unfortunately, it encountered Zheng Fangyi. After charging several times, not only did it not hurt the intruder, but he was struck by a sword. It hit home.
The monster knew he was outmatched and wanted to escape, but was injured and slowed down a lot. Zheng Fangyi rushed forward and inserted his sword into the monster's body again. As the true energy invaded, his internal organs were shattered to pieces, and he died.
Qingshi thought that it turned out that the Sun family actually used this monster to protect this place. No wonder no one was watching.
Qingshi gave Zheng Fangyi a thumbs up, and then motioned for him to swim over. When Zheng Fangyi came to his side, Qingshi gestured for Zheng Fangyi to strike with all his strength with his sword at the place indicated by him. Zheng Fanyi understood what he meant, and after a little preparation, he swung his sword with all his strength and struck down with all his strength.
Qingshi saw that Zheng Fangyi's sword attack had indeed achieved the effect, and he quickly followed to expand the results. In just a few breaths, he completely cut off the earth connection device between Xiaoshan and Sunjiaping.
Qingshi put away his sword and kept throwing out formation sticks in his hand. These were the thirty-six formation sticks that had just been retrieved from the hiding formation.
Qingshi quickly set up a magic circle at the place where the connection was severed. Under the control of Qingshi, this magic circle sent completely different messages to Sunjiaping and Xiaoshan, making Sunjiaping think that the connection was not broken, but the top of Xiaoshan thought that the connection was not broken. The connection is broken.
After Qingshi finished doing his hands and feet, he motioned to Zheng Fangyi to swim towards the water together.
...
In Sunjiaping, Sun Guoming, who was responsible for monitoring the movements of the formation, suddenly discovered that the ground connection between Sunjiaping and the Xigushan formation was broken. He was immediately shocked and ran out of the underground monitoring room to report to Elder Sun Hua.
Sun Hua did not dare to neglect and followed Sun Guoming and ran into the basement. He saw that the energy flow indicating device was operating normally and there was no sign of disconnection at all. Sun Hua looked at Sun Guoming in surprise, but Sun Guoming was dumbfounded and could not say anything. Words come.
Sun Hua cursed, turned around and rushed out of the basement, then jumped up and landed on the observation tower and looked to the west. He saw that everything was normal in Xigu Mountain. Although the pond at the foot of the mountain was not clear, there was nothing near the pond. The abnormal movement was of course blocked by the bluestone formation.
Sun Hua turned to Sun Guoming and cursed: "You bastard, what are you talking about? The enemy hasn't even attacked yet, but you are so frightened that your eyes dropped to the ground? Fuck you..." Suddenly Remembering that Sun Guoming's mother was his cousin, he had no choice but to shut up.
Sun Guoming still wanted to argue, but he heard someone shouting: Oh no, the enemy, the enemy is coming! The east gate is the imperial garrison...
Sun Hua hurriedly ran towards the east. Sun Guoming was stunned and hurriedly followed. Sun Hua shouted, "Why are you following me? Go back and stare." Sun Guoming had no choice but to go back to the underground monitoring room, but he thought to himself: I can't be dazzled. ah? No, I want to find an opportunity to report to the head of the family in person.
At the same time that Sun Guoming discovered that the connection of the magic circle was disconnected, Sun Zhongyu, who was responsible for monitoring on the top of Xigu Mountain, also discovered that the connection of the magic circle was disconnected. He yelled and ran out of the observation room and stood on a high place to look down the mountain. Others hurried over when they saw it.
There were two people in the holy lake, which was calm before the stick of incense. One of them was obviously injured, and the other one was dragging him to the shore. A trail of blood was dragged out of the water behind them. However, this was Qingshi and Zheng Fanyi. Acting.
Sun Zhongyu shouted angrily at Sun Peng and others who were in charge of guarding: "How did you guard? The enemies sneaked into the holy lake and cut off the earth's veins, and you didn't even notice?"
Sun Peng slapped his forehead and said: "How did these damn guys sneak in? We have been keeping an eye on it, but we didn't find any movement! Besides, the holy lake is guarded by a magic circle and protected by river dragons..." As he spoke, he looked to Elder Sun Mengxian aside for help.
Sun Mengxian was also confused and said quickly: "Yes, I have been paying attention just now, and there was no abnormal movement."
Sun Zhongyu was about to continue to curse. But I heard a majestic voice: "Why are you panicking? It's not surprising that the enemy will take action sooner or later, just shut up." Then, an old man with a moral integrity strode over, followed by seven or eight people. This old man is none other than Sun Shengzhi, the previous head of the family.
Sun Shengzhi jumped up to the observation platform and looked down the mountain, asking, "We are disconnected from the ground in Pingli?"
Sun Zhongyu answered yes, but his assistant Lao Song said: "It seems that it is not completely disconnected."
Sun Shengzhi thought for a while and said, "It's obvious that these two people sneaked into the Holy Lake to destroy the connection of the magic circle. However, although they destroyed the connection, they were probably discovered and bitten by the river dragon before they could completely succeed. Mengxian, you immediately lead your entire team to kill these two people."
"All the first team, follow me!" Sun Mengxian shouted, and then rushed down the mountain, followed by more than 20 people.
"Menghai," Sun Shengzhi continued to give the order, "you also immediately summon your entire team to support us. Although it is impossible for the enemy to sneak in many people, there may be more than just these two people. We must prevent them from having helpers."
"Yes!" A big man behind him responded, turned around and gathered the team.
"Zhongyu, go and ask Mr. Hu," Sun Shengzhi then said to Sun Zhongyu, "ask him to go to the Holy Lake with me to repair the connection hub of the earth veins."
"Old man, wait a minute," said a thin middle-aged man behind Sun Shengzhi. "Although the connection between the magic circles is broken, the two magic circles can still operate independently. Old man, you are the guardian of Xigu Mountain. You can't risk leaving the formation and going down the mountain."
"I don't want to go, but the connection of the magic circle must be repaired!" Sun Shengzhi sighed: "Look." He pointed to the east.
Everyone looked around quickly and saw dust flying outside the east gate of Sunjiaping. A spaceship in mid-air and a trebuchet on the ground were vaguely visible, and an unknown number of people were surrounding them.
"The enemy cut off the connection with our magic circle. They want to isolate our Pingzhai and Shanzhai first, and then attack our Sunjiaping!" Sun Shengzhi said, "However, the enemy sent a few people to secretly destroy it, which shows that they do not have enough power to deal with both of us at the same time. We are dealing with a magic circle, so our situation here should not be too bad. Now the person who caused the damage was injured by a river dragon, and we happened to be dispatched to capture him as a hostage. As for repairing the connection hub of the magic circle, it is risky and must be done. , otherwise Pingzhai will be isolated and helpless."
"In that case, let Xiao Liu and Ji Chang each lead a team to protect Grandpa and Mr. Hu." The skinny young man said.
"Ji Chang just needs to lead a team to follow us," Sun Shengzhi said. "There are two teams from Mengxian and Menghai at the bottom of the mountain. If Xiaoliu goes too, you will be the only team left on the mountain."
"Brother, you should take Ji Chang and Xiao Liu with you," five or six people came up from behind, and an old man said first, "I will personally lead Meng Fu's team to guard the mountain. We are protected by the magic circle and there will be no danger. Besides, there are two old ladies. Repairing the earth connection is very important."
Sun Shengzhi said: "Okay, third brother, guard the stronghold carefully." Then he began to call everyone to gather and prepare to go down the mountain to repair the ground connection hub.
Sun Mengxian, who was the first to take action, rushed down the mountain with more than 20 of his disciples, fully armed. This team was one of the most elite teams in the Sun family. In addition to Sun Mengxian himself, who was at the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, there were four other people in this team. He is a mid-level master of the Qi Condensation Realm, and the other team members are at least mid-level of the Qi Gathering Realm or above.
Outsiders have always thought that the Sun family has about ten Qi Condensation Realm masters, but they don’t know that in recent years, driven by the treasures of heaven and earth brought back by brothers Sun Xiong and Sun Ba, and the massive resources obtained by the Sun family from occupying other families, the Sun family has There are already more than twenty masters of the Qi Condensation Realm, which is also one of their confidences in daring to fight.
According to Sun Ba's analysis, it is impossible for the Tianlong Empire to spend too much money on a Tianlong Academy student. As long as the Sun family resists for a period of time, things will gradually fade away. If you plead for mercy, the worst possible outcome is to pay half of your family property to smooth things over.
Sun Mengxian and his team members quickly arrived at the holy lake at the foot of the mountain. However, the two enemies were missing from the lake. A person behind him wondered: "Why are they missing? It seems that they shouldn't have run away so quickly."
"It's not surprising," another person said, "He was eaten by a river dragon."
"Shut up!" Sun Mengxian shouted. Although he felt that there was a high possibility that the incoming enemy would be eaten by the fifth-level spiritual beast, the river dragon, Sun Mengxian still did not dare to take it lightly. He stepped forward and searched along the lake, and soon found it.
"There are traces of a person coming out of the lake here!" Sun Mengxian analyzed while checking the footprints on the lakeside, "Only one person came out, which means that the injured one was probably thrown down and fed to the river dragons, so he accelerated his movements and escaped. "
"He went to that forest," Deligan called Sun Xuan. "There are blood stains. This guy is also injured. He can't run away."
"Chase!" Sun Mengxian ordered.
A group of people followed the tracks deliberately made by Zheng Fangyi and Qingshi into a large forest of tall trees by the lake, and soon came to a forest meadow with sparse trees.
Sun Mengxian suddenly noticed a young man standing not far in front of him. This man was dressed in white, standing quietly like a jade tree in the wind, with a faint smile on his face.
Sun Mengxian suddenly became alert. Before he could warn him, he saw the man suddenly move. Without him bending down to prepare, the man suddenly jumped up more than ten feet high. At the same time, he waved his hands gracefully, and then there was a hidden weapon with a cold light. Flying in overwhelmingly.
There are probably hundreds or even thousands of these hidden weapons. Some fly straight, some fly in an arc, some are about half a foot long and spin with a terrifying sound of wind, and some are as thin as cow hair and can only pass through the forest. The sunlight can make it flash a fleeting cold light.
Sun Mengxian really couldn't imagine how one person could fire so many hidden weapons in an instant. There were so many hidden weapons that he couldn't resist them at all, so he immediately yelled: "Get out of the way."
At the same time, Sun Mengxian's body rose more than two feet high and almost poked out of the tree crown. A large piece of hidden weapon flew past the soles of his shoes, and a scream was heard behind him.
Sun Mengxian ignored the casualties of his children and flew towards the young man in white. With a shining spear in his hand, he stabbed the man in the chest.
The man didn't seem to see Sun Mengxian descending from the sky and attacking him. He fell to the ground, his hands still waving, and little bits of cold light kept flying out from his hands and sleeves.
Sun Mengxian's gun was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye it was less than three feet in front of the man. At this moment, a short figure suddenly flew out of the diagonal stab. This figure was actually faster than Sun Mengxian's gun. He punched away the gun that was attacking the man in white. The spear followed the figure and crashed into Sun Mengxian's arms.
Sun Mengxian's spear was missed. Seeing someone rushing towards him, he obviously had no time to retract the spear. He had experienced many battles and reacted very quickly. He immediately abandoned the spear and turned back to face the attacker. In an instant, a gun appeared in his hand. The scimitar slashed at the incoming person.
The man had already jumped in front of him. He did not avoid Sun Mengxian's scimitar with his bare hands. He punched Sun Mengxian's blade with one punch. Sun Mengxian was shocked. He felt that the scimitar seemed to have struck the fine steel. There was no feeling of cutting into the human body at all. Bounce back.
The swords and hands touched, and both of them swayed. Sun Mengxian took a step back to distance himself, but the man took two steps forward, which only brought the distance closer.
Sun Mengxian took a breath and flew up and down with the scimitar in his hand. The figure swayed and dodged in the light of the sword. Occasionally, the scimitars in his hands made the sound of metal hitting each other. Sun Mengxian had never seen such hands that were made of fine steel. Martial arts, and I have never seen such a close and life-threatening hand-to-hand fight.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had passed more than a dozen moves. The man was getting closer and closer. The more Sun Mengxian fought, the more panicked he became. Suddenly, he couldn't avoid it and received an elbow punch under his ribs. He flew more than ten feet away, and several of his ribs were broken. The internal organs were also seriously injured.
Sun Mengxian was sent flying and hit a tree trunk. Before he could hit the ground, the short figure came again and put a knee on Sun Mengxian's back. He flew up involuntarily, his spine was broken and all his strength was dissipated. The moment he fell, he saw from the corner of his eye that all the people he had brought with him were lying on the ground. Several young people stood on the ground and watched him fall from the air with pity.
Ji Yujia waited for Sun Mengxian to fall and punched out again. Sun Mengxian flew more than ten feet away and fell to the ground, which was the end of the matter.
Xiao Ji looked up and saw more than twenty monks from the Sun family who were all dead. He immediately laughed and said to Teng Shouqian: "No wonder others call you Thousand-Hand Vine. How many hits did you make with this move just now?" Hidden weapon?"
"One hundred and twenty-four kinds of hidden weapons, two thousand two hundred and thirty-three!" Teng Shouqian said expressionlessly.
"Ah!" Xiao Ji opened his mouth in surprise.
Yin Yuhuang looked at Xiao Ji's expression and couldn't help laughing: "Do you really believe it? He is just teasing you!"
Xiao Ji looked at Teng Shouqian, and Teng Shouqian also laughed and said, "Okay, okay, hurry up and clean up. Boss Zheng sent a message saying that another group has arrived." Zheng Fangyi, Qingshi and Teng Shouqian all have temporary communication devices provided by the academy. Similar to the one used by Qingshi and Master to communicate.
The one who set up an ambush here was Teng Shouqian and his five-man team. Xiao Ji and Yin Yuhuang were also temporarily under Teng Shouqian's command.
Everyone was talking while cleaning the battlefield. The so-called cleaning the battlefield naturally meant finding these people's stored spiritual weapons, but these people basically had nothing good that could catch the eye of Teng Shouqian and others.
"Old Teng, when you took action just now, at least half of the people were shot to death by you," Xiao Ji said, "You are so good, why don't you take the entrance examination for the Higher Academy? You don't even take the Inner Academy Dragon and Tiger Ranking, I I used to think that your title of the Uncrowned King of the Inner Court was fake."
"My master does not allow skipping grades. You must complete six years in the inner college before you can be admitted to the high school. I am not the only one like this. Many seniors must complete six years in the inner college." Teng Shouqian said. The tiger hides the dragon, how can I dare to be called the 'Uncrowned King of the Inner Court'. It is also my master's intention not to take the dragon and tiger list."
"Your master is really weird, no no, I mean he is so cute." Xiao Ji said, "But it doesn't matter if you don't win the Dragon Tiger List, who can resist such a rogue trick like yours?" He was shot into a hedgehog before he even made a move."
"I'm a gangster?" Teng Shouqian yelled, "You are a gangster because of your close-quarters fighting style, okay? Why don't we call you 'Little Ji who doesn't want his life'? Tell me, who is the gangster?" Teng Shouqian asked. Head asked the others.
"They are all hooligans!" Hu Jiaji said unceremoniously.
"Yes," Li Sikuan agreed, "a long-range launch can make people be shot into a sieve and they can't even get close, and a close-quarters combat can be so close that they can attack with their teeth. They are all rogue tricks!"
Yin Yuhuang, Wang Ting, Lu Xiaocheng, and Lin Ling all laughed together.
Teng Shouqian was about to retort when he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Hush~ The second wave is coming!"
