Ximen Yunlong has been building the foundation for many years. With the help of family resources and his own efforts, he has now reached the second level of foundation building, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
"Third uncle, I'm asking for a favor from you." Ximen Changqing said straight to the point.
"It's easy to help, but we can't let Third Uncle work in vain."
"Third uncle, don't worry. When has my nephew ever let you suffer a loss? He happened to have an extra low-grade spiritual weapon on hand and gave it to third uncle."
Ximen Changqing took out the gold tooth spear, a low-grade spiritual weapon, and gently handed it over.
This was made from the tusks of the second-level low-grade gold-toothed lion, which consumed a lot of spiritual materials. This spiritual weapon contained metallic properties and was very suitable for Ximen Yunlong.
"Metallic spiritual weapon, great. You are really a rich man."
Ximen Yunlong was overjoyed. He made a casual joke and got a low-grade spiritual weapon. This spiritual weapon was very suitable for his martial arts and would be easy to use.
"Tell me! What's the matter?"
Ximen Changqing briefly explained his plan.
"Changqing, your boy has made a century-old plan! Third uncle admires it, has he told the clan leader?"
"Not yet. I'm afraid grandpa will be worried. It should be enough for us uncle and nephew to help."
"Okay, fourth brother, I, as the older brother, naturally have to help. When will we set off?"
"Without further ado, let's set off now."
The two of them flew with their swords and headed straight towards Jinyang County.
Two days later, the uncle and nephew arrived in Jinyang County and met Ximen Yunfei, who had been waiting for a long time.
Now, all three of them have changed their appearance and used pseudonyms. The third uncle's pseudonym is Li Long, and Ximen Changqing's pseudonym is Li Qing.
"Third brother, Changqing, you are finally here. Let's go to my cave."
After entering the cave and opening the soundproofing ban, Ximen Yunfei carefully informed the two of them of the current situation.
The leader of the casual cultivator group he belongs to is Shi Tieshan, who has a foundation level of seven, followed by Shi Tieshan's younger brother Shi Yushan, who has a six-level foundation.
There is also Liu Huaiguang, who is on the fourth level of foundation building. There are more than 500 casual cultivators at the Qi training level.
As for the group of casual cultivators occupying Jibo Ridge, the three with the highest cultivation levels were also at the seventh, sixth and fourth levels of foundation building.
But they also have two second-level foundation-building monks, practicing Qi and casual cultivation, and there are almost more than five hundred of them.
Since escaping from Jibo Ridge, Shi Tieshan has been sending people to keep an eye on Jibo Ridge to confirm that the opponent has no foundation reinforcements.
"Fourth brother, including me and Changqing, our side doesn't have the advantage. How should we fight this?"
In his opinion, both sides were equal in strength. He faced a second-level foundation builder, while Yunfei and Changqing, who had just established a foundation, could work together to deal with a second-level foundation builder.
The monks who have just established the foundation are weak, and they may not be able to take advantage of two against one. In this case, the battle between the two sides will inevitably fall into a stalemate, and it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.
"Third brother has also learned to be humble, and has no confidence in defeating monks of the same level?"
"I'm worried that you won't be able to defeat me. After all, you haven't built your foundation for a long time."
Seeing the two arguing, Ximen Changqing said: "Third uncle, since we are all here, we will naturally have a fight. Let's go see fellow Taoist Shi first!"
Shi Tieshan attached great importance to the arrival of Ximen Changqing and the two men. He was eager to recapture Jibo Ridge, so it was a great blessing to have two Jiji Zhu come to help.
"Oh, Fellow Taoist Li Long, Fellow Taoist Li Qing, please come in quickly."
Shi Tieshan was very enthusiastic, and Shi Yushan and Liu Huaiguang also looked happy.
"Fellow Taoist Shi, my two brothers owe a favor to Taoist Chu, so they came here specially to help. We will not risk our lives."
Ximen Yunlong said.
Shi Tieshan's brows jumped and he said hurriedly: "Fellow Taoist Li Long is joking. The matter of risking one's life will be left to me and Yushan. The two Taoist friends only need to control one foundation builder each."
He said this, but his next arrangement made Ximen Yunlong very angry.
He asked Liu Huaiguang to contain the monks on the sixth level of foundation building, Ximen Yunlong to contain the fourth level of foundation building, Ximen Changqing and Ximen Yunfei to contain two monks on the second level of foundation building respectively, all with the weak against the strong.
He teamed up with Shi Yushan to attack the seventh-level monks, kill them as quickly as possible, and then help the other four.
On the surface, this arrangement is to concentrate the most advantageous forces to annihilate the enemy leader, but in a real fight, all four of them are at risk, and their brothers are the safest.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, by arranging this, you are putting the four of us in danger, but your brothers are very safe." Ximen Yunlong said angrily.
Shi Tieshan hurriedly explained: "Friend Li Long, please calm down. If you can't kill the opponent's leader in the late stage of foundation building, it will be a disaster sooner or later. Fellow Taoist, don't worry, we brothers will use our trump cards to kill the powerful enemy soon."
In the end, Shi Tieshan promised that as long as Jibo Ridge was successfully captured, the two would share more spoils.
After making some preparations, under the leadership of Shi Tieshan, more than 500 monks rushed to Jibo Ridge.
In order to confuse each other, Ximen Yunlong and Ximen Changqing did not show up and hid quietly behind them.
The casual cultivators in Jibo Ridge have already set up a protective formation. It would be really difficult to deal with the enemy if they were unable to come out of the formation.
"Feng Laosi, why don't you come out and die quickly?"
Shi Tieshan's sword was suspended outside the Jibo Ridge formation, and a fireball hit the light curtain of the formation.
The opponent's formation is a second-level high-grade three-talent thick earth formation, which is not easy to break, but every attack consumes the opponent's resources.
Rogue cultivators are relatively poor to begin with. If they allow the other party to attack the formation light screen, their losses will become greater and greater.
"How dare you come back to die, Lao Liu, three fellow Taoists, let's go meet them."
Watching the array room shattering into more than a dozen low-grade spirit stones, Feng Laosi had a look of pain on his face. Every broken spirit stone was equivalent to a stab in his heart.
"Brother, Shi Tieshan was obviously beaten away by us, how could he dare to come back? Is this a scam?"
Shi Yushan was worried that the other party had an ambush, so he warned cautiously, and the other three people also had some doubts.
"What are you afraid of? If we can defeat them, we will destroy them. If they have strong reinforcements, we will just withdraw."
Feng Laosi's mouth was filled with a cruel look, and he wished he could kill Shi Tieshan to relieve the hatred in his heart.
The four of them, Shi Yushan, looked at each other and felt that it made sense. We were all very poor and could not just watch the spiritual stones in the array room shatter one by one.
The five people with their swords left the formation light curtain and fiercely attacked Shi Tieshan and the four others.
"Shi Tieshan, you are looking for death."
Feng Laosi's eyes were filled with fire, and he used a spell to kill Shi Tieshan.
You can tolerate it if someone scolds him, you can tolerate it if you mock him for being ugly, but you can never tolerate it if his spiritual stone is destroyed.
In Feng Laosi's heart, spirit stones were half his life. Shi Tieshan's spell destroyed more than a dozen of his spirit stones, and he was an sworn enemy.
The nine foundation-building monks started a fierce fight, and the aura of the battle was dazzling from a distance of more than ten miles.
The four Shi Tieshan were naturally no match for the opponent's five foundation builders. They retreated while fighting, gradually moving away from the formation light curtain.
Feng Laosi and others chased after them with murderous intent. In the opinion of the five of them, it was better to stay away from the light curtain of the formation to avoid the aftermath of the battle and consume the energy of the formation.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, our brothers are here to help you."
Ximen Yunlong and Ximen Changqing suddenly rushed out of Qi training and found their opponents.
"Haha! One is building a second-level foundation, and the other is building a first-level foundation. Shi Tieshan, is this your ambush? What a surprise!"
Before breaking out of the formation, he was reminded by his younger brother that Feng Laosi also suspected that the opponent had reinforcements.
For this reason, when he was chasing, he also carefully observed the surroundings. If the opponent had strong reinforcements in the later stage of foundation building, he would immediately withdraw and stick to the formation.
But now, the opponent's ambush is just two rookies who are in the early stages of foundation building and are still on the first and second levels, so there is nothing to worry about.
"Fellow Taoist Li Long, Friend Li Qing, please."
Shi Tieshan shouted and attacked Feng Laosi together with his younger brother Shi Yushan.
The remaining four foundation builders also followed the previously discussed plan and each restrained a foundation builder with a higher cultivation level than themselves.
Because the task of the four of them is only to contain their opponents, who are more advanced than themselves, they naturally do not want to risk their lives, so long as they can delay time.
But the other party doesn't think so. They have higher cultivation and are confident that they can kill their opponents. Moreover, their leader Feng Laosi is being besieged by the Shi brothers, and something will change over time.
"Shi Tieshan, you brothers are so despicable... Lao Liu, three fellow Taoists, you kill your opponents as soon as possible, and I will hold off the Shi brothers."
Being besieged by the Shi brothers, Feng Laosi was very angry. However, as long as he persisted for a while, the opponent would lose a few foundations, and the situation would be reversed immediately.
"Hmph, you are only on the fourth level of foundation building, but you still dare to challenge me and seek death."
"Haha! When did the monks in the early stage of Foundation Establishment dare to challenge the strong ones in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment?"
"The boy who is on the first level of foundation building, has his realm been stable?"
The four foundation builders laughed at opponents whose cultivation level was lower than their own, and their attacks became more fierce.
As their opponents pressed closer and closer, Liu Huaiguang, Ximen Yunlong, and Ximen Yunfei all felt heavy pressure. They only hoped that the Shi brothers could kill Feng Laosi as soon as possible.
Ximen Changqing is quite capable here, while his opponent has a second-level cultivation base, but his strength is very average.
He easily withstood the opponent's fierce attack without exerting all his strength, which greatly surprised the second-level foundation-building monk.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, you should be faster. Why are you dawdling?"
Liu Huaiguang built the fourth floor. Facing Feng Laoliu, who built the sixth floor, he was under great pressure and had wounds on his chest and back.
The pressure on Ximen Yunlong is even greater. The opponent's foundation is four levels, which is two levels higher than him, but there is a gap between them in the early and mid-term.
Ximen Yunfei's foundation building time was too short. Although the foundation was deep, the pressure faced by the old foundation building on the second floor was equally huge.
After a while, Ximen Yunlong was smashed by the shield-shaped spiritual weapon, and his protective aura was shattered. He spit out a mouthful of old blood, and Ximen Yunfei's arm was also injured by the sword aura.
At this time, the Shi brothers still failed to capture Feng Laosi, which made the four people responsible for containment very angry.
If they continue to delay, they will be in danger. The Shi brothers are trying to trick them to death.
"Damn Shi brothers, it seems we can't continue playing Tai Chi. We must deal with our opponents as soon as possible."
Ximen Changqing felt a surge of anger in his heart.
