The monks in the Centurion Team were stunned, but over the past month or so, Cheng Ling had already gained their trust with practical actions. Not only are all the training indicators among the best, but also the talismans, elixirs, and the current battle formation.
After just a few breaths of delay, they took action. The martial arts cultivator in front began to retreat first. The legal cultivator cast spells more frequently to maintain attack firepower. The logistics support and exploration teams came forward, each throwing dozens of weapons. Zhang Fulu prevented the demon clan from following up.
"Boom~!"
The loud explosion of the talisman made people's ears explode, raising smoke and dust all over the sky, and the demon clan's forward momentum suddenly slowed down.
Cheng Ling was waiting for this opportunity and hurriedly led the logistics support team, exploration team, and legal cultivator team to retreat back and escape the encirclement. Then he loudly ordered: "Change direction, all team members swim around the perimeter of the monster's formation, don't get too hung up on fighting, just touch and leave!"
The centurion formation suddenly became active, like a fish constantly jumping in the water. With a slight tap on the outside of the monster formation, it immediately changed direction, just like cutting flesh with a small knife, killing hundreds or thousands of monsters here. The other side immediately shifted its attack target.
The leader of the demon clan kept mobilizing his own formations, trying to form an encirclement and capture this group of humans, but he failed to hold back, causing chaos on his side.
At the rear of the human race, Jin Muhuan and Zhou Qingxi looked at the battle ahead with gloomy expressions. The difference in numbers was too large. Most of the human race's central army was surrounded by the demon race, and there were not many left outside.
Jin Muxu sighed dejectedly: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, immediately ask for help from the base camp. There are too many of them. I am afraid that the monks we have brought here cannot withstand them."
Zhou Qingxi sighed secretly in his heart and hurriedly sent the message back to the base camp. His spiritual consciousness scanned and noticed the actions of the Centurion on Cheng Ling's side. His face lit up and he hurriedly said: "Master Jinfeng, look there is a Centurion over there. Although there are not many in number, they have disrupted the demon clan’s formation.”
Jin Muxuan followed the direction he pointed, observed for a moment, and said happily: "Yes, that group of 100 people had a very good idea, in exchange for the chaos of the demon clan with minimal damage. Hey, why is Cheng Ling here too? There?"
"Yes, that boy is also in the centurion. If he meets such a centurion, his life is not worried. Well, they carry a lot of talismans. This method is good and can greatly save the consumption of immortal energy."
"Alas~! Why didn't we think of such a method? We only knew how to confront the monsters head-on. Now that the Chinese army is trapped in it, it will be difficult to escape."
"Master Jin Peak, don't worry. There are thousands of monks outside. We might as well start swimming according to their ideas. If the demon clan's formation is disrupted, the Chinese army may escape."
"Okay, pass on the order. The monks on the periphery should not confront those monsters head-on. They should adopt a roundabout combat strategy and run away at the first touch. This will definitely open a gap in the monsters' formation!"
The order was quickly issued, and the more than a thousand monks who were still wandering around the periphery formed groups of a hundred people and began to fight. Unfortunately, they have not systematically trained this tactic, and their cooperation is very unfamiliar. In addition, they are not very fast. They only made contact with each other a few times. Because they did not retreat in time enough, they were gradually attacked by the demon clan again. They gathered around.
Jin Muhuan and Zhou Qingxi looked anxious, but they did not dare to take action easily. If the two of them moved, the Demon King from the Demon Clan would also take action, and the gain would not be worth the loss. At least in terms of quantity, the Demon King outnumbers them by several!
While Cheng Ling was commanding the hundred-man team to fight, his consciousness was spreading to the maximum, and he was always paying attention to the changes on the battlefield. At first, I was very happy when I saw the more than a thousand people outside using the same tactics as myself. I secretly praised Jin Muhuan and Zhou Qingxi for their cleverness and how to judge the situation.
But not long after, the pace of the more than a thousand monks was gradually slowed down. He quickly predicted that something went wrong. Those monks were not familiar with this kind of warfare at all. It was okay once or twice, but if they did too much, it would be easy for the demon clan to detect the clues and launch a targeted siege.
Unlike here, there is no pattern at all. It goes to the east for a while, and then returns to the west for a while, which makes people confused. However, the battle situation in front of us is extremely dangerous. The Chinese army is surrounded, and tens of thousands of monks each have to face almost three or more monsters of the same realm. If this continues, it won't take long for the number of monks to be greatly reduced.
We must break the current deadlock and rescue the Chinese army. The situation at hand is no longer a matter of command between the capital or Jin Muxuan and others, but a matter of improvising on the spot and relying on the surprise of the monks on the scene to continuously weaken the demon clan's encirclement until finally a channel is opened for the Chinese army to break through.
Thoughts flashed in his mind, and he quickly made a decision, commanding the monks of the Hundred to gather towards the more than a thousand monks who were still struggling on the outside.
After more than a month of targeted training, the monks of the Centurion Team were much faster. The transition between offense and defense was completed in an instant. Coupled with the divine walking talisman refined by Cheng Ling, as soon as they received the order, they immediately broke away from the battle circle and pulled them along. A long line of chasing monsters continued to draw an arc around the outside and came to the group of monks who were still outside.
He raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Logistics support team, distribute magical talismans immediately. Colleagues, move closer to us with all your strength."
There were more than a dozen centurions among the more than a thousand monks. Seeing the support from the Centurion here, they hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, shouted in unison, and charged towards the outside with all their strength.
Hundreds of troops were rescued one by one. Although many monks died during the breakout, about 600 people were finally rescued. The personnel of the logistics support team shuttled among the monks, distributing the magic talismans one by one.
This magical talisman is the latest eighth-grade talisman refined by Cheng Ling and can last for at least six hours. After the monks used it, their speed suddenly increased. After breaking out of the encirclement, they followed closely behind the Centurion.
But Cheng Ling was not optimistic. Among the more than 600 people, there were at least eight centurions whose military ranks were higher than his own. If the command failed, not only would these more than 600 people not be able to be of any help, they would also become A burden to one's own centurions.
While he was distressed, Jin Muhuan's voice came over: "Good boy, I have taken over the responsibility of the capital commander on my behalf. Yes, if you can rescue the Chinese army, I will remember you for your first contribution!"
Immediately afterwards, he moved his Qi Luck Dantian and said to the centurions in the camp: "You guys, follow Cheng Ling's command!"
Cheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief, Jin Muxuan was so awesome! With Shang Fang's sword, there is no need to worry. He immediately ordered: "All martial arts cultivators stop the demon clan from attacking, while the magic cultivators retreat and use long-distance attack spells!"
Everyone obeyed the order one by one. Unfortunately, the cooperation of more than 600 people was not tacit enough, and some monks were still stunned on the spot. With just a few breaths of delay, the monster clan that had just escaped rushed forward again.
Cheng Ling cursed in his heart. His martial arts cultivators and legal cultivators were already facing the demon clan. They must not retreat without authorization at this time, otherwise the more than 600 people who had just been rescued would be surrounded again.
His figure flashed sharply, and he used the Shadowless Lei Kong movement technique to instantly arrive in front of the group of monks. He opened his hands and a dazzling golden light flashed across his chest. Immediately afterwards, the golden light gradually dissipated, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and the water vapor in the void continued to compress, turning into extremely small ice needles. There were more than a thousand of them!
Pushing forward with both hands, more than a thousand steel needles shot out, hitting all the surrounding monster beasts. The next moment, hundreds of monsters had empty eyes, and the ice needles had penetrated their heads, and even their souls were annihilated together!
"Hiss~!"
More than 600 monks took a breath and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. Who is this person? He has such a powerful group attack spell.
Cheng Ling couldn't stop, and shot out the five-element-converting ice needles one after another. Until the fifth round, he killed more than 3,000 monsters. He took out a handful of pills from the ring, stuffed them all into his mouth, turned to the more than 600 monks behind him and shouted angrily: "You haven't set up your formation yet, do you want to wait here to die!"
The more than 600 monks suddenly woke up and were shocked by the power of his magic. They immediately followed Cheng Ling's request, and the martial arts cultivators and legal cultivators quickly took their positions and launched a tenacious resistance.
Cheng Ling knew that this was a critical moment. As long as he had a chance to breathe and slow down the number of demon clans that had been replenished, the more than 700 people on his side could launch flexible tactics. With a wave of his right hand, he shouted at the monks of the Centurion: "Throw out all the talismans you have on me!"
The cultivators of the Centurion team cheered up and hurriedly threw out all the talismans they were assigned. Thousands of attack talismans were thrown towards the demon clan's formation, temporarily curbing the demon clan's forward momentum.
Cheng Ling's Kung Fu was running at a high speed, refining the power of the elixir in his body, and within a few breaths, he shot out two rounds of ice needles again. By this time, his immortal energy was almost exhausted. This spell was extremely powerful, but attacking in such a large area like now consumes a huge amount of immortal energy. The medicinal power of the elixir has not yet been fully refined, and the replenished fairy power cannot keep up with the consumption.
But he didn't dare to relax easily. The ice needle could not be used, and the general outline of the thunder method was still left. The finger techniques of both hands are constantly changing at an extremely fast speed, and the frequency of execution almost separates flesh and blood. In an instant, thunder and lightning monsters appeared everywhere, and purple thunder continued to appear on the ground.
After arranging these, he retreated again and shouted loudly to the centurions: "Follow the team. If we step forward to fight, just step forward. We will withdraw, and you should withdraw quickly. If you can, Do you get it?"
"able!"
The eight centurions had solemn expressions on their faces and stood like javelins, no different from the respect they showed when facing the capital. Cheng Ling had already proven his ability with his strength, and besides, he still saved his life, so he didn't dare to complain at all.
"Okay, then follow closely! Remember, don't go too deep, stay on the periphery, and don't give the demon clan a chance to encircle them again. We want to completely disrupt their peripheral formation!"
After saying that, he waved his hand to the monks of the Centurion Team, and while the demon clan formation was unable to pursue them, he broke away from the battle circle and pounced towards the demon clan on the other side!
