While the two were talking, a rumbling sound was heard in the distance.
The ground began to shake, and the sky began to darken. Large clouds rolled in, making it difficult to see what was going on inside, but there was definitely an army advancing.
For a time, everyone felt that a disaster was coming!
Seeing this situation, Chen Xuyang said without hesitation: "To be honest, my ancestor of the Chen family was once a member of the Lianxu family! So it has been in decline for a long time, but there is still some heritage left. The document I entrusted my Taoist friend to interpret before , in fact, it was Xuanyangzi, the first head of the Chen family, who left a secret letter before his death, in which he mentioned a legacy."
"How can I believe you if you say nothing?" Lu Zhong narrowed his eyes.
"It seems like what Mr. Chen said, Taoist friend is indeed not my Xizhou monk." Chen Xuyang looked at him with a strange look on his face, as if to confirm something, and then explained: "You must not know that my Xizhou family has a place name. At least they are all great monks who have been produced by our ancestors, either by refining the void or by combining the body."
Lu Zhong smiled indifferently, without looking at the approaching dark clouds in the distance, and said with a smile: "My ancestors were once members of the Lianxu family, which doesn't mean anything. Who knows, after all these years, whether that legacy will be Still there, instead of being taken away long ago?"
These words touched Chen Xuyang's sore spot.
To be honest, when he got the interpretation text, he was only happy for a while, and then he quickly realized that more than 30,000 years had passed since his ancestor Xuanyangzi founded the Chen family.
Such a long time is enough to make everything full of uncertainty. .
No one can guarantee that that legacy is still in place today.
Not to mention, the treasure trove is still deep in the Yaksha Wasteland, where the underworld army is now entrenched, and there is a possibility of a fight with the Immortal Sect at any time. Once the misfortune is involved, it is really impossible to survive, with almost no possibility of survival.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Xuyang is willing to sell information at a low price.
At this time, the dark clouds were approaching.
It can be seen clearly with the naked eye that this is a large-scale underworld army. Except for a group of warg knights in the center, the rest are composed of corpse wolves, iron and bronze armored corpses, wronged souls, death wing bat demons, etc. There are many ferocious ghosts, some of them covered in tattered armor, and they number in the tens of thousands at least.
Such an army.
If it had been before Huang Quan's invasion, the Chen family could have easily solved it.
But today is different from the past. Both sides were weakened to the extreme at the same time.
In the absence of items such as "Five Elements Vitality", a monk can only rely on his own strength to fight against up to ten people in the Qi Refining Stage, and a hundred people in the Foundation Building Stage. When his cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, he can only fight against ten thousand people.
But what no one expected was that the originally inconspicuous cannon fodder on Huangquan's side had the upper hand due to their numerical advantage. With its overwhelming scale, it could easily swamp the inferior immortal cultivators and annihilate all the Xizhou people. The sect was beaten until it was hard to breathe.
Faced with this situation, the Chen family would undoubtedly suffer a disastrous defeat.
Thinking of the consequences, Chen Xuyang's face turned pale.
So he gritted his teeth and handed out a jade jewel, saying: "In addition to the treasure left by our ancestors, this cinnamon jade jewel is a keepsake of the head of the Chen family. There is a Qi collection method hidden inside, which is specially designed for cultivating gods." Prepare. Fellow Taoist must know very well, how much is this method worth? If fellow Taoist is willing to trade, you can make a copy!"
"Okay." Lu Zhong was slightly surprised and agreed.
He is not trying to take advantage of the situation. As long as he gives the market price, the transaction will be successful.
Immediately afterwards, he handed over a Yang Qi spiritual talisman without looking at the contents.
At the same time, the Underworld Army had arrived a thousand feet away. The Deathwing bat monsters who were the vanguard rushed forward and were already within a hundred feet away. They took up the skeletal black bows in their hands and shot the corpses stained with corpse poison and pus. The bone arrows were placed on the strings and shot towards the chariot formation.
"Swish swish!"
The rain of arrows was sparse and twisted, but it still had an effect.
Some unlucky ones were shot by dirty arrows, and their wounds immediately began to fester.
In just a few seconds, five people fell.
"kill!"
Someone shouted something, and the family guards holding crossbows and the Chen family monks all started to fight back, either shooting arrows or casting spells.
Fortunately, the former's power has not been weakened.
But the latter's spell, due to its low level of cultivation, seemed like a trick at the moment. Even if it hit the dead wing bat monster in mid-air, it would only burn off their surface bristles.
As pus spurted out from the Deathwing bat monsters, the flames were quickly extinguished, and they continued to shoot in the air as if nothing was wrong.
The only useful thing is the magic weapon.
Aiming at the head and feet, he can knock down the Deathwing Bat Demon with one sword.
However, due to his weakened strength, the monk was unable to recover the flying sword, and the magic weapon became a disposable item. He could only watch the magic weapon fall to the ground with the bat demon.
At this time, Lu Zhong drew his bow and started shooting.
Xuan Xiu's advantage was finally revealed at this moment. Although the power blessed by the immortal spiritual energy was severely suppressed at this moment, Xuan Xiu still had a great advantage by relying on his own huge strength.
One arrow at a time, no arrow missed.
In a short time, more than thirty death-winged bat monsters died under his arrows.
There are also Xuan cultivators in the Chen family, who are also holding bows and shooting arrows at this moment. Together with a small number of foundation-building cultivators and those mortals holding bows and crossbows, they are killing the bat demon.
There were not many bat demons in the first place, and soon more than half of them were killed or injured.
"Woooo!" A horn sounded from the Huangquan Army in the distance.
The group of Deathwing bat monsters that suffered heavy casualties felt like they had been granted amnesty at this moment. They even ignored the arrows shot from behind and hurriedly broke away from the battle and flew towards the direction of the Underworld Army.
The first confrontation ended with the Chen family seemingly winning, but the exchange ratio was disastrous.
On the Chen family's side, there were more than a hundred casualties.
As for the Deathwing bat demon group, nearly a hundred of them fell to the ground and seemed to have suffered a great loss, but they were originally the cannon fodder of the Underworld Army, and exchanging them for one could be said to be a huge profit.
After this battle, many people's minds were filled with dark clouds.
Chen Xuyang held the Little True Yang Talisman in his hand, the joy in his heart disappeared, and he became pessimistic about the future.
Not long after, someone approached Lu Zhong.
They were all chocobo riders, including men and women, mortals and Qi-refining monks, and the girl Chun'er was among them. All of them are fully armored and armed with weapons, and there are more than thirty riders in total.
"The entire Chen family's scout team has met Master Lu Xian!"
Lu Zhong glanced at them and found that many of them were injured and had only been bandaged hastily, presumably as a result of the previous battle with the Warg Cavalry.
At this time, a burly middle-aged man came out of the team. It was the man in green that Lu Zhong had seen that day. He bowed first and then explained his purpose: "Master Lu, if you let the Huangquan army besiege the car formation later, I'm afraid that The consequences are unpredictable, can you please lead us to attack!"
The middle-aged man's name is Chen Tuo, an outsider with the given surname.
He currently serves as the scout captain.
Chen Tuo saw the disadvantages of sticking to one place. It is very easy to have people's hearts wander due to being cut off from the escape route. He wanted to attack to rescue the car formation, and he immediately thought of Lu Zhong, the Xuanxiu who had just shown his prowess.
Hearing the purpose of the other party's visit, Lu Zhongsi began to think.
According to his observation just now, the actual number of Huang Quan's troops who were charging toward the chariot formation was more than 13,000. The strongest breath inside, after conversion, is actually only equivalent to the early stage of pill formation. Therefore, this Huangquan army looked very powerful, but in fact it posed no threat to him.
If Lu Zhong is willing, he can use his divine energy.
Destroy this underworld army with one blow.
However, he always had a premonition in his heart.
If you do this, you may attract unnecessary attention.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong decided to continue to hide his identity, so as not to be in trouble all day long like he was targeted by the gods before.
So he looked at Chen Tuo, nodded and said: "Okay, but... I will not be responsible for your life or death. If you can accept this, then go ahead and attack."
As soon as this was said, the scouts were all delighted.
Master Lu Xian’s strength is obvious to all.
With him leading the scout team to attack, the casualties would definitely be greatly reduced.
In this case, what are they dissatisfied with?
"Thank you so much, Master Lu!" everyone said in unison.
Soon, the chocobo named "Huang Yu" was brought over. It also wore a layer of leather armor and a pair of glass goggles to protect the vital parts of its eyes.
Compared with before, he is much more heroic.
"Goooo!"
When Chocobo saw Lu Zhong, he screamed happily.
"Okay, good boy!" Lu Zhong touched it and liked the little thing.
Turning over, he thought for a while and asked Chen Tuo for a horse spear and several tubes of arrows. In this way, we can be prepared for both near and far, and avoid exposing our strength.
At the same time, Huang Quanjun also arrived within Baizhang.
The army slowly unfolded, as if they were going to encircle the car array.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong no longer hesitated and issued an order:
"Follow me and attack!"
With an order, thirty-seven riders jumped off the turtle pack car, gathered into an arrow, and before the Huang Quan army had completely encircled them, they killed the sparse group of walking corpses in front.
Lu Zhong never thought that he would have such a day.
In the world of immortality, riding a chocobo to fight on the ground sounds really ridiculous.
But now, it really happened!
Seeing that there was no way ahead, Lu Zhongma pressed down and relied on his skills to easily pick up a walking corpse blocking the road. Then he swung it hard and knocked down the other walking corpses, immediately clearing a path for the scout team.
At this time, Huang Quanjun was already fighting against the main force of the convoy.
From time to time, a powerful spell would be released, instantly blasting the underworld army into a large void.
At first glance, you can tell that this is using the five elements of vitality to restore strength.
But the vitality effect comes and goes quickly.
Just maintaining a spell is unsustainable.
Such a short-lived flash in the pan, at best, can achieve a tactical advantage, but it cannot change the situation of the war at all.
Fortunately, from time to time, one or two Evil-Breaking Talismans were used to disperse the underworld army that came out again, giving the Chen family guards a chance to breathe.
At the same time, the scout team led by Lu Zhong had successfully broken out of the siege.
But before everyone could rejoice, there was a rumble from the front, and a burst of smoke filled the sky, but it was the commander from that side who led the pack of wolves to kill them.
"Master Lu Xian, what should we do?" Chen Tuo asked anxiously.
"If it's one-on-one, the chocobo is no match for the wolf. I have tried mounted archery before. However, the wolf riders are ghost monks. They are proficient in various negative spells and can quickly exhaust the chocobo. So The first time we met, the Scouts suffered a disastrous defeat.”
With the strength of the monks weakened, the killing spells that were originally powerful became like magic. The blessing spells that were not taken seriously before suddenly revealed their uniqueness and their positive or negative effects. The blessing is especially obvious on the army, and can even affect the direction of the battle.
It was precisely because of the magic that Chen Tuo's scout team suffered a disastrous defeat.
"Don't worry, I can also do this kind of magic!" Lu Zhong said calmly.
Let alone ordinary spells.
After studying the thunder method for many years, he has mastered many related blessing methods.
The reason why I didn't use it before was that it was completely unnecessary.
Seeing the warg team rushing over, Lu Zhong didn't bother to waste any time, and simply released some power from the purple and gold extreme fire, and shot it into everyone's body with a snap of his finger.
Suddenly, the scouts were surprised to find out.
His originally weak body became full of vitality, and his whole body was full of strength.
For those who had been injured before, black energy was forced out of the wounds, and a warm feeling soon spread out. The green and gray wounds turned red, and the yellow and white pus no longer oozed out.
"What a powerful method!"
When Chen Tuo saw this scene, his face was full of surprise.
At this moment, everyone’s confidence was greatly boosted!
On the opposite side, Fang Yeyun, the commander of the Underworld Army, led his forty-nine wolf cavalry. He also noticed the changes in the scout team, and a look of surprise flashed through his green eyes. He had not been idle before, and had already secretly used underworld spells such as "Sickness Decline Technique" and "Vitality Exhaustion Technique" on the scout team.
But now, it has been expelled!
"Be careful, the immortal cultivator opposite is not normal!" Fang Yeyun reminded his men.
After speaking, he waved his hand forward.
The wolf riders heard the sound and moved, roaring towards the scout team.
"Swish swish!"
Feather arrows shot one after another.
Those who couldn't escape were immediately shot in the vital organs and fell to the ground.
"Hold the shield!" Fang Yeyun shouted.
Wargs are different from chocobos. Although their speed is only slightly faster than horses, their load-bearing capacity is extremely strong. Even if they are carrying a thousand kilograms of armor and a large shield as wide as a door panel, they can still run as fast as flying.
At the command, the wolf knights raised their shields one after another.
But even so, knights still fell to wargs from time to time.
But it was Lu Zhong who took action.
Relying on Youtian Luotong's presence, he was extremely tricky with the arrows he fired. Even if the wolf rider showed any flaw, he could still seize it firmly and deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.
"Damn it!" Fang Yeyun looked gloomy.
Seeing several wolf riders fall, he knew that if he didn't try to change the situation, he would really be shot to death with a kite. And once the Wargs are gone, his leadership will come to an end.
Thinking of this, he took out an evil ghost statue from his arms.
This thing is a creation of Huangquan, which can turn a piece of land into Yin soil.
Living in the Yin Earth, even the lowliest double-armed evil ghost statue can restore one hundred percent of the strength of the underworld monk in its unsuppressed state.
Even though he only recovered a little, it was enough to change the situation of the battle.
Without hesitation, Fang Yeyun activated the evil ghost statue.
In an instant, everything within a thousand feet was filled with yin and earth!
"Time is running out, come with me and rush!" Fang Yeyun shouted.
Then he pulled out his long knife and rushed towards the scout team.
Being in a netherworld environment, the warg has regained a lot of strength and is even faster than the chocobo. The distance between the two sides is rapidly closing.
During the process, Lu Zhong tried to delay with arrows.
But without exception, they were all ejected.
Ordinary arrows have no effect on the wargs who have recovered their strength.
