Chen Tianye's worries were naturally not unnecessary. At this time, Qingshi was engaged in a life-and-death fight with Mu Zhenren.
No matter how against the sky, Qingshi is currently only a second-level monk at the Golden Core Realm, while Mu Zhenren is a master at the Divine Origin Realm! Naturally, it was not Qingshi's original intention to fight against Mu Zhenren, but there were too many unknown factors, and the plan was not as good as changing. The development of things to this point was not entirely beyond Qingshi's control.
Back in time, Duan, Chen, Hu and the others rushed to the entrance of the valley and began to violently break the formation, and Qingshi had just touched the southern wall of Lingmu Villa.
Qingshi was not in a hurry to start destroying, but flew dozens of feet high in the air to overlook the manor and conduct investigation. Soon, he discovered that the entire manor was not completely covered by a defensive formation. This was normal, because the entire valley was in a large formation. There was no need to cover the entire manor with a defensive formation. Mu Zhenren also It is impossible to have the ability to organize such a large array within an array.
However, Qingshi still discovered several energy fluctuations in the manor. After careful observation, Qingshi found that there were three places in the manor protected by magic arrays. One was a large area in the southeast, with seven or eight large and small shielding arrays. It is covered by a large, tall and spacious house, and there are two woodlands full of tall trees that are also covered by shielding arrays. Although these shielding arrays are next to each other, they are independent. This area is far away from other buildings in the manor, and I don't know what it is used for.
The second place protected by the magic circle is the central building complex of the manor, which is easy to understand.
The third place is located at the foot of the mountain in the northwest direction. The magic circle is covered with several ordinary stone and wood buildings, and there is nothing special about it.
While looking carefully, Qingshi suddenly noticed a trace of energy movement in the entire valley formation. Qingshi immediately realized that Duan, Chen and Hu were violently breaking the formation as planned. Qingshi quickly flew down to a relatively flat hillside in the south, gathered his mental strength and pulled out a black cannon out of thin air.
This cannon is an evil spirit cannon forged by Qingshi, Duan, Chen and Hu. There are four in total, the largest one is installed on the Xuanhu, and the other three are in a special storage container. The weight of this cannon is equivalent to five small spaceships, and its volume is less than one-third of one small spaceship. Therefore, Qingshi can teleport it out.
Just after removing the two cannons, the entire formation experienced energy changes again. This time, the energy of the formation suddenly increased, and Qingshi knew that this was Master Mu once again letting the formation operate at full power. As a result, Qingshi's third cannon cannot be removed.
Qingshi couldn't remove the cannon, so he began to remove the puppets. Since the puppet guard from the outside and all the puppets in the storage container can sense each other, there is no problem for Qingshi to remove the puppets.
After a while, Qingshi had removed a large group of puppets. Six of the special puppets were gunners. They were responsible for loading ammunition and aiming and firing the cannon in groups of three, and ten groups of ninety puppets were responsible for protecting the cannon. Each cannon is protected by ten groups of ninety puppets.
Then, Qingshi fired.
For the first shot, Qingshi aimed at the building covered by the shielding array, because this building was the closest to him. Although he didn't know what was there, since it was covered by the magic array, it was the target. With a booming sound, a conical shell hit a large tile-roofed house in the center of the building.
The shielding array is not a defensive array and cannot withstand artillery shells. In fact, ordinary defensive arrays cannot block the bombardment of the evil spirit cannon. The shell hit the big tile-roofed house and exploded violently. A corner of the big tile-tiled house collapsed immediately. With just one shot, Qingshi knew the secret under the tiled house.
Following the explosion, the area emitted appalling howls of ghosts and wolves, and a group of black beasts emerged from the collapsed tile-roofed house, running around in terror.
Black Wind Leopard! Qingshi recognized it. That day they were chased by the ghost mandrill and the bone-spurred demon wolf, but they didn't know that Mu Zhenren also raised a black wind leopard that was more powerful than the bone-spurred demon wolf.
"Haha!" Qingshi laughed and said to himself, "It turns out that this is where the old thief keeps evil beasts in captivity! No wonder they have to build some shielding arrays, because they are afraid that the evil beasts will come out and hurt people! Well! In that case , I will help you release it! Otherwise, you will be driven away to attack me again! Boom! Boom! Damn it!"
Qingshi's two cannons roared in turn, blasting more than a dozen cannons in a row, causing the animal houses to collapse and flames to shoot into the sky. Large groups of evil beasts ran around, causing death and injury in a mess. These evil beasts were mainly bone-spurred demon wolves, as well as black wind leopards, armored beasts, etc. There were hundreds of them. They were killed and wounded countless times. They all rushed out of their captivity in panic and fury. Some beast-taming disciples He and his servants tried to stop them, but they couldn't stop drinking at all. Instead, several people were attacked by the furious beasts, killing and injuring several in a row. A large number of evil beasts rushed toward the center of the villa, attacking people on sight, causing screams and curses in horror in the villa.
Qingshi found that the most powerful ghost mandrills were not among the rushing beasts, so he adjusted the muzzle of the cannon and began to bombard the two woods. Just as Qingshi guessed, it was the ghost mandrills that were raised in the forest. Each cannonball blew up the trees. , a fire was ignited, the ghost mandrill roared crazily, and rushed back and forth in the firelight and smoke.
Qingshi laughed, feeling that he was finally out of breath, but he soon realized that he had made a mistake and couldn't laugh anymore.
It turns out that these ghost mandrills are extremely powerful. They move quickly and have strong skin and thick flesh. Although the cannon is powerful, it is very effective against the bone-spurred demon wolf and black wind leopard, but not so effective against the ghost mandrill.
After firing several shots in a row, Qingshi discovered that although these ghost mandrills screamed and roared and clashed wildly, they suffered very few casualties. What's even worse is that they seemed to slowly understand what was going on, so more than thirty ghost mandrills, led by a huge leader, rushed towards the cannon.
"Holy crap!" Qingshi was shocked and cursed, "These damn beasts!"
Qingshi cursed as he began to move the puppets again. Just after he had moved five teams, the ghost mandrills came to them because the animal house was originally in the southeast corner of Zhuangzi, only two miles away from this hill.
The target of those ghost mandrills was the cannon. They wanted to rush over and destroy the cannon. Naturally, Qingshi's puppets would not let them succeed. So, a big melee started immediately, and the fight became inextricable in an instant.
Qingshi leaped over to the cannon and changed the targets of the two cannons to two other places in Zhuangzi protected by magic circles, namely the main building complex in the center of the manor and the ordinary buildings in the northwest.
Just after setting a new target, Qingshi suddenly felt a trace of murderous intent coming with a sharp wind and lightning. Qingshi had no time to dodge, so he pulled the puppet guard beside him in front of him to block the incoming attack.
There was a clang of metal hitting each other, and a thick black long arrow shot into the chest of the puppet. Although this was one of the six 'super guard' puppets transformed by Qingshi, its black silver and soft golden threads Even the alloy armor could not completely block the power of the arrow. The arrow not only penetrated the puppet guard's armor, but also penetrated a full three inches of its black iron and fine gold body. If it weren't for the armor, this arrow would have definitely penetrated the puppet. And if this arrow hits Qingshi, his Xuanyuan Armor will definitely be shot through.
Qingshi was shocked, a long arrow with such speed and strength was really terrifying. Looking up, I saw two small spaceships flying one after another from the center of the manor, with seven or eight green-clad disciples on each ship. A tall middle-aged man stood on the bow of the spaceship in front, holding a large black bow. Obviously, this arrow was shot by him.
When the puppet was hit by an arrow, some of the mechanisms and formations in its body were shattered by the true energy of the arrow, and it lost nearly half of its combat power. Qingshi was not short of such a puppet guard. He waved it back into the storage along with the black arrow. At the same time, he quietly released two flying swords, Yueying and Xiufeng.
More feather arrows came, but these arrows did not pose much threat to Qingshi, and they could not penetrate the puppet like the first black arrow. Therefore, Qingshi was not in a hurry, but kept removing more puppets. At the same time, two cannons began to fire on the target.
The second black arrow struck. Qingshi was already prepared. He did not dodge or dodge, but released the God-controlling circle on his left arm. The golden light of the God-controlling circle flashed and turned into a golden light shield. The black arrow shot The medium-light shield caused a flash of golden light, and the arrow's momentum was immediately resolved. Qingshi reached out to collect the fallen black arrow.
Swish, swish, three more black arrows struck in succession. The God Control Circle blocked them one by one, but its golden light also dimmed a lot, obviously it consumed a lot of spiritual energy. But Qingshi is not worried. The God Control Circle can be recharged repeatedly, and it can withstand at least three arrows like this.
Qingshi calmly collected the arrows one by one. These black arrows were obviously not ordinary arrows but spiritual weapons. Qingshi wished he could collect a few more, the more the better. He would like to see how many such treasured arrows the archer has and how many arrows he can shoot with his true energy.
The archer was Mu Zhenren's second disciple. After five arrows in a row, his arrows were one-fifth short and half of his energy was consumed. Seeing that his treasure was unceremoniously confiscated by the enemy, he was furious. Of course, the arrows could no longer be shot. The second disciple put away his bow and took out his sword. When the spaceship approached the hillside, he roared and rushed over.
Of course Qingshi would not fight him, so nine puppets moved over and joined forces to fight against the second disciple. Qingshi had already released forty groups, totaling 360 puppets. In his opinion, there was no problem in dealing with these dozen green-clothed disciples and more than thirty ghost mandrills.
However, Qingshi's judgment was wrong again. He underestimated the extraordinary effect of top combat power. Theoretically, these puppets can definitely resist these enemies, just like the one hundred and eighty puppets of Duan and Chen were able to hold back Mu Zhenren and nearly thirty disciples.
However, although Mu Zhenren could not kill these puppets immediately, it was impossible for these puppets to surround him. Therefore, Mu Zhenren could leave whenever he wanted, and the puppets had nothing to do with him.
Now, Qingshi is in the same situation when facing his second disciple. Although this second disciple is far inferior to Mu Zhenren, he is already an intermediate level cultivator in the Immortal Pill Realm, and his combat power is extremely high. Therefore, although he cannot defeat all these puppets, It is impossible for these puppets to surround him.
The second disciple's figure flashed a few times, and he passed through the obstacles of the puppet like a ghost. He came to Qingshi's side in an instant, and slashed at Qingshi's head with a knife. Only then did Qingshi realize that his idea was wrong, so he could only resist with his sword and start fighting with the second disciple.
Although the second disciple's zhenqi cultivation was much higher than Qingshi's, the quality of Qingshi's zhenqi was far better than his. Therefore, when the two of them fought, Qingshi was only slightly at a disadvantage, and the five puppet guards who came forward to help him could also help him.
Qingshi knew that he should leave quickly, otherwise he might not be able to leave once Mu Zhenren arrived. He can rely on puppets and wind and thunder wings to deal with the Mu Zhenren alone, but now that there is an expert like the second disciple, chasing one and blocking the other, it will be troublesome.
However, Qingshi was unwilling to leave immediately. He wanted to take a risk, because after resetting the bombardment targets just now, he immediately discovered that one of the two targets was the center of the entire formation. The large array of energy changes caused by the cannon hitting the target convinced him of this.
Qingshi believes that the formation's eyes are most likely to be those ordinary buildings in the northwest, but no matter which of the two targets it is, as long as a few more shots are fired, the entire formation may collapse, and this is what Qingshi wants. The ultimate goal to be achieved, because only when the formation collapses can he remove big killers like the Black Tiger and the Puppet Flame Dragon, or remove escape tools like the jet airship.
If you leave now, with the formation operating at full power, the cannon will no longer be able to retrieve the storage device, and it will definitely fall into the enemy's hands. It's not that Qingshi is reluctant to part with the cannon, because even if it falls into the enemy's hands, they won't be able to use it against him without long-term research. Qingshi wants to fire a few more cannons before Mu Zhenren arrives, hoping to break the formation in one fell swoop.
The second disciple also understood the consequences of the big formation's eyes being blown up, so he stepped up his attack. At the same time, a strange whistling sound suddenly came from his mouth. As this strange whistling sound sounded, all the ghost mandrills suddenly made a similar whistling sound together, and then they all rushed towards the direction of Qingshi. Fortunately, Qingshi had enough puppets to resist almost all the ghosts. Mandrill.
However, it is almost all but not all. The largest ghost mandrill leader is like the second senior brother among this group of green-clothed disciples, and it cannot be surrounded by the puppets. Just now, he had no clear goal and had been fighting with the puppets. Now, under the command of the second disciple, Qingshi has become its number one target.
The leader of the ghost mandrill screamed and pounced on Qingshi. It avoided the obstruction of the puppets. After a few ups and downs, it came to the battle circle between Qingshi and the second disciple. Without any explanation, it grabbed and swung at Qingshi.
Qingshi waved Yuehun helplessly, activated the Mingyue Sword Technique Yuan Yu Style, and caught this violent blow. With just one move, Qingshi understood that the combat power of this ghost mandrill was even better than that of his second disciple.
Qingshi screamed inwardly, and immediately used the secret technique of the Yuan Yu Domain to protect his whole body. At the same time, he activated the wings of wind and thunder to dodge past the second disciple, breaking out of the pincer attack of one person and one animal. Under the current circumstances, Qingshi had to give up his plan to continue the bombardment and could only avoid the edge for the time being.
Sure enough, Qingshi calculated well. Although the second disciple knew that Qingshi was going to escape, he still gave priority to destroying the cannon rather than stopping him. The second disciple let go of Qingshi, flew over and kicked down the cannon that was bombarding the northwest, and then pounced on the second cannon.
Qingshi naturally noticed the order in which he destroyed the cannons, and strengthened his confidence that the formation was at the foot of the northwest mountain.
Qingshi broke out of the encirclement and flew straight to the north. Before he could take a breath, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared from a hundred feet away from the east and hit his body end-to-end.
Qingshi's body froze slightly and fell towards the manor like a broken piece of wood.
