The Plague Guard and the Rothschilds fought fiercely. Both sides had battle formations as support. The Plague Guard had the home field advantage, while the red-robed people had the Star Luo Mirror as support. The two sides were neck and neck for a while.
Although the number of demons on the side was relatively small, only half that of the red-robed men, their average strength exceeded the latter, so that nearly two hours had passed since the battle, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.
When Zhang Xiaoman was thinking about adding fuel to the flames and helping them, he saw Armand, the patriarch of the Rothschild family, suddenly flying into the air with a loud roar. The four-star pattern on his body lit up. The body glowed red, two fangs quickly grew out of the mouth, the skin became red, and the wings spread out on the back, like a scarlet devil.
"This is... the blood-wrathed true form of the clan leader!"
A family disciple below exclaimed, his eyes couldn't help but shine with hope and admiration.
Feeling the huge fluctuation of spiritual power, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Good guy, this is a big move!
He immediately put away the idea of taking action and continued to wait and see what happened.
As Armand activated the four-star pattern, his strength was greatly improved, especially in terms of speed, which was almost unimaginable. Even Zhang Xiaoman could not see his movements clearly.
"What a fast speed! If I fight him in this state, even if I impose speed stripping on him, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up. I can only choose to defend or temporarily retreat to delay time..."
This is the first time he has seen someone so fast. His dark speed stage may have been upgraded to the fifth level. This level is unreachable by many extraordinary levels. He cannot even catch up with light and can only rely on his spiritual power. power to feel.
Zhang Xiaoman sighed secretly, people from these families should not be underestimated. How could anyone who can stand in this environment not have two skills?
For a moment, only the blood-red stream of light was seen flashing in the field, as if it was teleporting. One moment, it might be at the front of one's own front, and the next moment, it might have flashed to the rear of the monster.
Zhang Xiaoman was secretly stunned at this speed, and turned his perception to the maximum, trying to capture the opponent's traces.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see it clearly. He could only sigh and secretly said that he still had a long way to go. Even though his strength had improved rapidly recently, he couldn't be complacent. After all, there were people outside. There is a sky beyond the sky.
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't clearly see Armand's speed, and naturally the plague guards couldn't see clearly either. Facing Armand in the four-star pattern state, all they could do was form a formation to protect him.
But Armand is not stupid. He knows that it is difficult for a single attack to be effective against these demons. Their magic circle can help them share the damage. He is not famous for his attack power. He wants to defeat them in this situation. The goal is nearly impossible.
However, he also has his own method. Since these demons can share the damage within the formation, he only needs to let them leave the range of the formation.
Therefore, I saw a blood-red shadow flickering in the field. Even if some guards were dragged out of the formation by him and then defeated one by one, Armand used this method to quickly kill more than 100 guards. More than ten plague guards.
However, using this family secret technique is also very expensive. Even a peak control level like Armand can't last long. After killing nearly twenty plague guards, he can no longer maintain his blood rage. The state of the real body fell from mid-air.
"Clan leader!"
The companions below were already prepared and hurried forward to catch him.
"Chief! Your method is very effective! Don't worry! Leave the rest to us!"
An elder showed excitement on his face, and then he also activated the Blood Fury Avatar. Following Armand's previous actions, he dragged the plague demons out of the formation one by one, and then killed them one by one.
It must be said that this method is very effective. As several elders took action one after another, the number of plague guards in front of everyone continued to decrease, and soon there was only less than half of the original number.
At this time, the number of disciples of the Rothschild family had also lost about thirty people, but compared to the losses of the Plague Guard, it was obviously much smaller.
"Very good! Now they have less than thirty people! In this case, the effectiveness of the formation will be greatly reduced. We only need to defeat them through a frontal attack! Everyone, come with me and keep your position! Use range-based skills and don’t give them a chance to breathe!”
Armand roared and launched a charge, and the red robe and the plague guard once again fought fiercely.
This time was different from before. Due to the huge numerical advantage, after an hour-long battle, the plague guards in front of them were finally killed.
"Plop!"
With the fall of the last peak-level guard captain, all the plague guards have been killed. Everyone in the Rothschild family couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. Some people even slumped down in the Star Luo Mirror. above.
Although they won, everyone was not as happy as they imagined, because in the battle just now, they also paid a heavy price. More than half of the family disciples died, and most of the remaining ones were exhausted, and More than thirty people were seriously injured. Whether they could survive in this environment was a big question.
Armand's face was very heavy. The people who brought the ruins this time were all the elites of the family. So many of them were consumed here. It would be difficult for him, the leader of the clan, to explain to the two ancestors after he returned.
But when he raised his head and glanced at the Plague Temple in the distance, the depression in his heart was somewhat relieved.
The cost of this action was indeed high, but the rewards were not small either.
The entire Plague Temple was built with soul-inducing stones, and this income alone was enough for the Rothschild family to recover its losses.
In addition, there must be secret treasures left by the God of Plague in the temple, and you may be able to find a few skills in the realm of gods. This is definitely something that the two ancestors need very much. By then, with these gods For domain skills, the ancestors should not punish themselves, and maybe they can give him some benefits.
"Clan Leader, the strength of these demons is unexpectedly strong. Their vitality is too tenacious. If they don't break up their forms, there is no way to kill them... Fortunately, we had previously obtained the weapon from the Lan family. We grabbed the Xingluo Mirror. If it weren’t for this mirror, we probably wouldn’t have been able to defeat them..."
An elder came over and said.
"Haha, yes, the people from the Lan family have helped us a lot. Speaking of which, we have to thank Lan Ji for all this. If it weren't for his rebellion, our plan this time would not have been realized so easily. .”
"By the way, Patriarch, the honorary elder of the Lan family has not been caught yet. If what happened here is told by him, then we will definitely anger the ancestor of the Lan family. I heard that his strength is extraordinary. At the beginning, Known as the 'Invincible God King' in the Dark Star Alliance, if he hadn't offended a powerful demon clan member later, he would have reached the mid-level extraordinary level long ago..."
"him……"
Armand had a solemn expression on his face, and it could be seen that he was very afraid of the person the elder was talking about.
However, he only thought for a moment, and then said with relief:
"Don't worry, Vlad. The Undefeated God King is just a title. If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly that his cultivation level would not have plummeted. Now it's hard to say whether he will live or die. Besides, I, Rose, There are two ancestors of the Childe family alive, so what if that person is alive? If the two ancestors of our family attack together, are we still afraid that we can't take him down?"
When Armand said this, he suddenly showed a cold smile and said:
"Furthermore, I have memorized the smell of the blood in that Jiexing's body. As long as he appears near me again, I will definitely be able to smell it, no matter how well he disguises himself, it will be useless. We only need to go back to the exit of the ruins He will be guarding the place until the last moment before closing. I don’t believe he won’t show up! At that time, he will have only two ways to go, either he will be locked up in the ruins and wait for death, or he will be silenced by us! "
"Hahaha! Patriarch, you are very considerate! But the environment here is so bad, and that kid doesn't have the protection of the Xingluo Mirror. I guess he would have died in that corner a long time ago! Hahaha!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, finally feeling better.
Zhang Xiaoman, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but feel speechless after hearing the conversation between the two. These two people had a good plan, but they probably never expected that if they wanted to leave this space, they didn't need to talk to them at all. Just go through the door.
He raised an arm and smelled it, feeling curious.
"The smell of my blood? Is this guy's nose so good? Why can't I smell it... Forget it, I have the blessing of the Lord of Shadows anyway, and his nose is probably just a decoration for me. …”
Zhang Xiaoman waited for a while and did not rush in immediately because he knew that the Plague Temple was not as simple as it seemed.
The reason why he didn't go in while the red robes and the plague guards were fighting was because he learned some very important information from Naifaya.
It is said that the Plague Temple is protected by a particularly powerful formation. This formation can cause great harm to those who approach rashly, and based on his explorations in the past few days, he has also found similar signs.
Zhang Xiaoman's omniscient ability allows him to talk to objects, but it is said to be a dialogue, but in fact it is a powerful perception that allows him to perceive some things that have happened to these objects.
Through this month's exploration of the Plague Temple, he vaguely sensed a terrifying energy contained in the temple. This energy always lingers on the periphery of the temple. Once something approaches, it is likely to be activated.
So he planned to let these Rothschilds go ahead and explore the way first. If possible, let them stimulate that energy. He was looking for a loophole to get in. If they couldn't stimulate it, then he would activate Xiaojin. People just go in.
At this moment, everyone in the Rothschild family recovered for a while, then gathered up their formation and once again approached the direction of the temple.
Armand also acted extremely cautious. Even at this time, he still kept the Star Luo Mirror in operation to prevent sneak attacks.
Zhang Xiaoman, on the other hand, looked at them expectantly and followed the crowd with a hidden figure.
Closer, closer.
Just when everyone crossed the swamp at their feet and arrived in front of the temple, a sudden and terrifying wave of spiritual power made Armand's eyes widen in an instant.
"Not good! There is a formation to block it!!"
Armand's face showed horror, and he reacted immediately. The spiritual power in his body was continuously injected into the Xingluo Mirror, pushing the mirror to the extreme.
Several other people were still a little unresponsive at this time. It was not until the spiritual power came with an unstoppable momentum that everyone changed their expressions.
"boom!!!"
A terrifying burst of spiritual power sounded, and the energy accumulated over countless years in the magic circle outside the Plague Temple was poured out at this moment, and it all hit the treasure mirror.
"Click~"
The sound of the mirror shattering came. Armand spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and flew backwards. Others were also blown away by the aftermath. Among the Rothschild family's children, the weaker ones were directly killed on the spot. The body was shattered, and only those above the median control level could barely survive. This wave of energy burst directly killed 70% of their personnel!
"What a terrifying power!"
Zhang Xiaoman's pupils shrank sharply, and the power erupting from the temple in front of him really shocked him.
Rothschild was hit so hard that the whole group was almost wiped out. If it weren't for the protection of the Xingluo Mirror, no one in the room would have survived.
"The Xingluo Mirror...is broken..."
Armand looked at the mirror in his hand that had completely lost its luster, as well as the companions who suffered heavy casualties around him, and felt extremely sad in his heart.
He never expected that there was such a killing move hidden outside this temple. Those spiritual power fluctuations could not be felt at a distance. He could only notice it when he got close, but by then it was already too late.
"ah!!!"
He roared angrily, wanting to rush forward and tear down the temple.
"Boom!"
At this time, the door of the temple opened again, and hundreds of black-armored guards holding spears walked out of it again.
"Why, how could this happen..."
Seeing this scene, everyone including Armand was dumbfounded. Today they had a profound understanding of what it meant to add insult to injury.
