Level three monsters are not easy to deal with. The Qi-training and foundation-building disciples under the city wall would definitely not be able to stop him.
All the bosses were no longer calm, and Xuan Wuxiang said anxiously: "You all go with our sect to kill the monsters, and send another disciple to urge the reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he jumped off the city wall first and rushed towards the third-level monster in the distance. The four hall masters and several elders got along closely.
Xuan Lingzi said to Cheng Ling: "Ling'er, the third-level monster has appeared. The sect is in danger. I have to go to help. You must be careful and protect yourself!"
After saying that, he rushed over with Xuan Wuxiang and the others.
Cheng Ling looked at his hunched back. Over the past year, he found that Xuan Lingzi's complexion had become worse and worse. The position of the hall leader was also entrusted to Xuan Zhenzi. Even when the beast tide came, the sect leader did not ask him to He joined the war, but he went without hesitation!
"I was born in a sect and grew up in a sect, so how could I not care?"
Xuan Lingzi's words seemed to ring in his ears. Yes, it has been almost eight hundred years. In his heart, the sect is his home and he wants to protect it! What about yourself? To be honest, Cheng Ling really had no sense of belonging to the Wuxiang Sword Sect, and the only one he was grateful to was Xuan Lingzi.
Now that he is willing to dedicate his remaining life span to the sect, then he should repay his teachings! He also jumped off the city wall and plunged into the group of monster beasts.
Under the city wall, there are not many first-level monsters left, and most of them are second-level monsters. As for the third-level monsters, they are still blocked in the innermost part of the mountain range by the elders and hall masters. Try to buy time for your disciples to kill low-level monsters.
Cheng Ling no longer had any scruples, and used all his strength to kill the monsters in large numbers. He has a low-grade sword weapon, and can use it cross-casting the Cloud-Smashing Sword and Fengjuan Canyun. The efficiency of killing enemies has been greatly improved, and his understanding of the two sword techniques has also gradually strengthened. And he also discovered that the staggered use of two sword techniques, like a combo, often produced greater destructive power.
As soon as my mind moved, I used several sword skills in rotation and kept trying to connect. Based on the Broken Cloud Sword, under the effect of instant psychedelic, the subsequent Lightning Sword Technique, Basic Sword Technique, and Qingfeng Sword Technique followed closely, killing enemies more efficiently and consuming less and less real energy.
Gradually, the sword moves in his hand began to become coherent, and there was no longer any distinction between sword skills. The rhythm of his moves is also gradually adjusted. When to go faster, when to hit harder, when to use the killing move, a set of assembly line-like swordsmanship is perfectly presented in his hands!
From being jerky at the beginning, to becoming more and more fluent later on, he also fully understood what swordsmanship was suitable for him. Moreover, with constant use, he became more proficient in Shattering Cloud Sword and Fengjuan Canyun, and his understanding became more thorough.
The Cloud-Shattering Sword finally integrated the last move of Rain and Clouds, which produced greater hallucination and delaying effects, and the monster's pause time also increased by a few breaths. Fengjuan Canyun has also been practiced to perfection, and coupled with the constant switching of other sword styles and combos, Cheng Ling's killing speed has doubled!
In less than a moment, all the monsters around him were killed. However, he still kept swinging his sword and killing the monster beasts. Now, he has completely fallen into the enlightenment of swordsmanship. As long as he sees a monster, he will go straight forward until he kills it!
Among his disciple tokens, the number of monsters killed was constantly rising, and soon surpassed Song Yingjie. Then Chen Song, Cheng Hongyi, Cheng Yanbing, and Ling Xiao were all squeezed out and stood firmly on the top. Top of the list!
Song Yingjie didn't care. He had seen Cheng Ling's strength during the newcomers' competition, and he was obviously stronger than himself. But the other four people were no longer calm, and looked at the rankings in the disciple tokens in disbelief.
Chen Song murmured: "Brother Ling kills monsters so quickly. Is he really that powerful?"
Cheng Hongyi and Ling Xiao secretly thought: They must have exploded instantly regardless of the consumption of true energy in their bodies. You idiots, when the true energy is exhausted, they will probably be killed by monsters! It depends on how long he can hold on.
The two of them didn't believe at all that Cheng Ling had equal strength. As long as they did the same, they would definitely be able to increase their killing numbers explosively in a short period of time.
Cheng Yanbing still had a cold face. She had just returned from overseas training and didn't know much about Cheng Ling's situation. However, to be in the top ten, he should have some strength. I couldn't help but feel a little curious. Could this surname be a descendant of the family? Why have I never heard of it?
Cheng Ling had no idea. He had always wanted to keep a low profile, but now that he was in the midst of an epiphany, he didn't even pay attention to the changes in the disciple's token. The endless flow of sword moves in his hand has broken the shackles of swordsmanship. Within three meters of the body, monsters will die if they touch it, forming a restricted area!
During the epiphany, the internal skills are running faster and faster, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, converting it into true energy, replenishing consumption, and forming a balance. The purity of true energy is still gradually improving!
Cheng Hongyi and Ling Xiao were still waiting for him to run out of strength, but more than an hour had passed, and they saw that Cheng Ling's kill count had been rising sharply, and the distance between those at the back was widening.
The top ten disciples all looked at his numerical value in stunned silence. Unable to bear it any longer, each one of them unleashed their strongest strength and frantically killed the monster. In an instant, led by Cheng Ling, even humans went crazy.
But they don't have as strong a technique as Cheng Ling, and they can't absorb and transform spiritual power fast enough to replenish it. It didn’t take long before I couldn’t support it anymore. You can only temporarily return to the city wall to recover your true energy, and after recovery, continue to fight.
As a result, the gap between them and Cheng Ling became even greater. One day later, the gap between Ling Xiao and Cheng Ling in second place was doubled.
At this time, the number of third-level monsters was increasing, and the disciples of the Wuxiang Sword Sect suffered even greater losses. Three days later, more than five thousand people died, and most of them were disciples in the foundation-building stage.
After getting this news, the sect bosses were not calm, which had already damaged the foundation. If we continue to fight like this, the entire sect will fall sooner or later. Taking advantage of the lull in the monster attack, all the big guys returned to the city wall to discuss countermeasures. Even several major disciples were called over, and Cheng Ling was among them.
On the city wall, Xuan Wuxiang frowned, and the four hall masters also had black lines on their heads. Although all parties have competing interests, the sect is the foundation. If it falls, there will be no fighting!
At this moment, a disciple rolled over and shouted excitedly: "Sect Master, the support has arrived!"
Everyone was overjoyed, and Xuan Wu asked hurriedly: "How many people are there? How strong are they?"
"The Cheng and Chen families each have more than 5,000 people, Luoye City also has 5,000, and the other sects and families have 10,000 people. I heard that there are more than a dozen Jindan monks, about 3,000 Foundation Establishment monks, and the rest It’s all Qi training period!”
Xuan Wuxiang stagnated. With such strength, how could he withstand the attack of a level three monster? But he had no choice but to calculate it over and over again. This was the greatest power he could gather! Several other elders also frowned and fell into deep contemplation.
Cheng Ling sighed in his heart and decided to help them. He came to Xuan Lingzi's side and said softly: "Master, we can't go on like this, we have to find the key!"
Of course, Xuan Lingzi knew that it would not work if it continued like this. Even if there were more people supporting them, without high-end combat power, they still could not resist the numerous monsters. He asked: "What are your ideas?"
Cheng Ling said: "Master, as the saying goes, to hit a snake, you have to hit it seven inches. Now we encounter a dragon king, which is almost the same as a snake!"
Xuan Lingzi said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense and talk about the important points!"
"Yes, that's what I think. These monsters are all summoned by the Dragon King. As long as we destroy them, won't all the problems be solved?"
Xuan Lingzi moved and realized that this was a good idea. If the monsters were leaderless, they would naturally disperse and the sect's crisis would be resolved. But then he thought about it and said angrily: "Do you think it's that simple? The Dragon King is a level five monster, so it's so easy to kill?"
"Besides, even if all the golden elixir stages here are gathered, what will happen to the attacks of these monsters? Without the golden elixir monks in charge, the third-level monsters cannot be resisted by the foundation-building monks alone!"
Cheng Ling said calmly: "I don't expect to kill the Dragon King. There is a natural formation in the Gourd Valley. As long as we use it a little, we can trap the Dragon King. It won't be able to give orders!"
"As for the third-level monsters here, we have to rely on the seniors to resist them. As long as we send out a capable team and use the formation to seal the Dragon King, the danger of the beast tide will naturally be lifted!"
Xuan Lingzi had a flash of inspiration, yes! If you can't kill the Dragon King now, you just have to seal it temporarily. When you become stronger in the future, you might not be able to kill it! He couldn't help but look at Cheng Ling with satisfaction, but also showed a trace of unbearability, that look was meaningful!
Cheng Ling looked at him and felt a little confused. For a moment, he couldn't understand his thoughts at all. He murmured in his heart: This old man has two-thirds of his body in the coffin, and he is still making up his mind!
Xuan Lingzi said to Xuan Wuxiang: "Sect Master, I have a plan, which may be able to solve the urgent need!"
Xuan Wuxiang asked: "What's the plan?"
"I heard that there is a natural formation where the Dragon King is. We can choose a team to enter its hiding place and seal it! Now that the Dragon King is gone, the danger of this beast tide will be eliminated!"
Xuan Wuxiang's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Yes, why didn't I expect that as long as their leader is killed, these monsters will naturally disperse! We will set off immediately to seal it. I hope my uncle can help!"
Xuan Lingzi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, if we Jindan monks are sent out, who can resist the monsters today? What I mean is that the foundation-building monks will set up a team of ten people to go to the seal. We will try our best to hold them back. The monster!"
Xuan Wuxiang looked at the densely packed monster beasts under the city, and his heart trembled. If they weren't there to support us, the sect would soon fall, and it seemed that we could only let the foundation-building disciples go.
He looked at the disciples on the list, pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "Okay, let's do it! The top ten foundation-building disciples on the list, mainly Ling Xiao and Cheng Ling, will go to the place where the Dragon King is and will Its seal!”
Cheng Ling's face turned blue and he almost jumped three feet high. Instantly I understood the strange look in the old man's eyes. Damn it, come up with a plan and get yourself involved!
