I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life - Chapter 234 - 134: First Battle
Chapter 234: Chapter 134: First Battle
Situ Yan brought nearly two hundred cultivators from the merchant alliance, including four at the Late Stage of Core Formation, five at the Middle Stage of Core Formation, ten at the Early Stage of Core Formation, and the rest were all at the Middle and Late Stages of Foundation Establishment.
On the surface, their overall strength seemed to be double that of Qingyin Valley.
However, facing the Quasi-Fourth Tier Mountain Protection Array, only the attacks of Late and Middle Stage Core Formation cultivators had any effect,
but they had too few of such cultivators, even if they continuously attacked without stopping, they wouldn’t be able to break it for several months.
Yu Ziyu’s group could even ignore them with no concern.
Yet, to quickly make the first strike and send a signal to the various sects and factions, Yu Ziyu chose to take the initiative and attack.
“Servants of the Demon Sect, prepare to die!” Yu Ziyu withdrew the array and first launched a Magnetic Ray towards Situ Yan.
“Hmph, opening the array proactively, overestimating oneself!” Situ Yan sneered, put away the Array-Breaking Talisman, and looked disdainful at the incoming Magnetic Ray, casually sending a Fire Dragon to meet it.
Boom~
With a thunderous explosion, the first shot against the merchant alliance was fired.
“Kill!”
“Eradicate the spies of the Evil Cult, reward one hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones for each kill!”
“Slay the dogs of the Demon Sect, our duty is unwavering, kill!”
The battle erupted instantly,
the Protector of the Wuxiang Sect confronted two of the merchant alliance’s Late Stage Core Formation cultivators, his momentum seemed unstoppable, powerfully suppressing them.
Between the Golden Core and True Core, besides the difference in cultivation speed, the Golden Core is pure and untainted, and the magical power it contains is more than fifty percent greater than that of the True Core, and the magical power nurtured by the Golden Core is much more refined than that of the True Core.
Especially when reaching the Late Stage of Core Formation, as the core accumulates magical power and becomes full, the gap becomes increasingly apparent.
A Late Stage Golden Core cultivator facing two Late Stage True Core cultivators is basically unafraid.
Not to mention a Golden Core Peak Protector of the Wuxiang Sect!
Meanwhile, two of Wuxiang Sect’s lower command stood against one merchant alliance Late Stage Core Formation cultivator each, with strength closely matched, going back and forth, unable to determine a winner in a short period.
Yu Ziyu charged first towards Situ Yan,
With her at the Early Stage of Golden Core against Situ Yan, who had been at the Middle Stage for nearly twenty years, it was slightly challenging.
Yet, she still had cards up her sleeve, so she was not afraid.
Ye Jingyu, although at the Middle Stage of Core Formation, had enhanced his magical power to be solid and sharp through years in the Fire Domain with the “True Flame Hundred Forgings,” combined with the soul-refining through the “Carefree Skill,” his Divine Sense at the Peak of Core Formation was enough to match the Late Stage Core Formation.
Additionally, with the Spiritual Treasure obtained in the Fire Domain, when man and sword became one, he could reverse-slash a Late Stage Core Formation cultivator; however, once his ultimate technique was used, his magical power and Divine Soul would be consumed greatly, making him unsuitable for prolonged battles, and best not used unless absolutely necessary.
At this moment, he had already boldly intercepted two merchant alliance Middle Stage Core Formation cultivators.
Besides that, the merchant alliance still had two Middle Stage Core Formation high-end combatants remaining,
while on Yu Ziyu’s side, there were no more combatants above the Middle Stage of Core Formation.
As for the lower combatants, the merchant alliance doubled that of Qingyin Valley.
“Ah!” Seeing two of the merchant alliance’s Middle Stage Core Formation cultivators about to break into Qingyin Valley to slaughter the Foundation Establishment clansmen, Zhou Cang threw off his Early Stage Core Formation opponent and resolutely swallowed a Tier Three Blood Burst Pill.
The Blood Burst Pill could instantly exploit potential, increasing combat capability several times over, but one could not remain in this state for long, or it would certainly damage the foundation and harm the Dantian.
Zhou Cang’s Fake Pill aura instantly surged, pushing towards the Middle Stage of Core Formation, then rushed towards one merchant alliance Middle Stage Core Formation cultivator without hesitation.
“Swish Swish Swish~” originally standing alongside Qingyin Valley’s Foundation Establishment cultivators, Master Han was supposed to face only the merchant alliance’s Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, as he was merely an avatar puppet, at most exerting ten percent of Li Jizhou’s power, but at that moment, three imposing Tier Three Early Stage puppets suddenly sprang out.
As soon as they appeared, the three puppets immediately lunged at the merchant alliance’s final Middle Stage Core Formation cultivator.
Though all three puppets were only at the Tier Three Early Stage, each had fused with Tier Three Demon Pills, possessing unique abilities.
One fused with a hardened resistance of an earth-attribute Demon Beast could withstand a Middle Stage Core Formation’s attack without retreating.
Another had incorporated the deadly venom talent of a Tier Three Scorpion, such that even a Middle Stage Core Formation would be paralyzed for a moment if the venom entered their body.
The last one, infused with the armor-piercing talent of a Tier Three Early Stage Eagle, could break a Middle Stage Core Formation’s defensive shield with a few strikes.
As such, the three puppets surrounding one Middle Stage Core Formation cultivator fully held the upper hand, and a moment’s carelessness could mean demise.
The high-tier forces on both sides swiftly came to a balance.
Situ Yan and several Immortal City defenders frowned slightly.
This was unexpected for them.
They thought gathering over two hundred experts to attack would surely break through smoothly.
After all, they had previously assembled only a hundred and had flattened the Golden Heap Mountain alliance, which was stronger than Qingyin Valley, overnight.
“Hmph, those three Late Stage Core Formation cultivators, especially that Golden Core Peak expert, must have been sent by the Wuxiang Sect!
But even with support from the Evil Cult, what difference does it make?
My merchant alliance has two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators against your Qingyin Valley’s less than a hundred, like slaughtering chickens and dogs!” Situ Yan snorted coldly.
Yu Ziyu’s lips curled into a cold smile: “Oh? So confident?”
“The disparity in strength is clear!” Situ Yan sneered, his magical power surging once again, enveloping Yu Ziyu in a wall of fire.
Yet, at that moment, strange noises suddenly erupted from the Foundation Establishment cultivators below.
Suddenly, cries of agony echoed.
Situ Yan’s Divine Sense swept around, his expression changed dramatically.
The merchant alliance’s Foundation Establishment cultivators, initially overwhelming their opponents, suddenly were wailing everywhere.
Each Qingyin Valley Foundation Establishment cultivator wielded dozens of Talismans, all at Tier Two Advanced level.
In an instant, the sound of Talismans being activated was incessant; the merchant alliance cultivators, who seemed to have absolute advantage, suffered heavy casualties, even beginning to retreat in large numbers!
