Chapter 699 The Second Line of Defense ([-])
Yuanyou pondered: "How big is the formation?"

The man replied: "In terms of scale, it is not smaller than the outside of the city wall. It is about ten thousand miles in length and breadth, covering more than a thousand miles in front and back."

"Fellow daoists, let me go and have a look!" Yuan You said, and with a flash, they left the warship and arrived at the frontline command battalion of the Third Legion in a short while.

The army of monsters and beasts stands in front of them in a neat array.

Large and small warships and chariots were laid out according to the array, spanning more than a thousand miles, surrounding the huge lightning arc flickering around the thunder ship.

A few people came to the thunder ship commanded by the front line, and when the light fell, two men came to meet them, one with big ears and the other with a tiger's body and a wolf waist. Both of them were high-level officials of the Third Army of the Mubei Coalition Army.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanyou, you are here." The man with big ears said, "Xuanmen has set up a defensive formation here, and those monks who fled have entered the restriction. Enter."

Yuan You stands on the bow of the boat, looking at the four clouds of gray mist covering the sky and covering the ground for thousands of miles in front of him, while the sky where everyone is located is clear and sunny, which is clearly different from the area covered by the formation, which is clear at a glance.

He frowned slightly: "Fellow Chisong, can you see what formation this is?"

"I can't see it yet, let me try it first." Chisong said, with a flash, he came to the first formation.

He flipped over in his hand, took out a blue and red ring, and threw it upwards. The ring swelled in the wind and turned into a thousand feet in size. There was a flash of red light, and the ring shot out a huge crimson cylinder of light that sank into the gray. In the mist.

The place where the light of the red cylinder passed cleared away the smoke in an instant, and the gray smoke with a radius of thousands of miles surged and surged like boiling water.

The ring of light exploded and trembled slightly, and the crimson beam of light turned into a huge pillar of fire in a blink of an eye.

But the gray mist not only did not disperse, but became thicker, and together with the surrounding gray mist rushed towards the area illuminated by the red light, the gray mist seemed to be chewing and devouring the red fire pillar.

Not long after, the red pillar of fire that shot into the gray mist disappeared, as if it had been swallowed by the gray mist.

Chisong frowned slightly, and moved towards the ring, the ring rotated a circle, a cyan light flashed, and a huge cyan cylinder of light shot out from the inside into the gray smoke.

The cyan light turned into ice crystals, and the gray mist swallowed it.

With a move of Chisong's hand, the ring shot backwards, put it away, and returned to the Leizi boat in a flash.

"How is it? Can you see what formation this is?" Yuan You asked.

Chisong said: "As I expected, this is the yin and yang reversed water and moon formation, which is a large illusion formation. Xuanmen once set up such formations in Mubei's time. This formation can absorb all forms of spiritual energy. Use it for yourself, and then backfire on the monks who entered the battle."

"If the formation breaker sticks to his heart and is not deceived by illusions, he will not be attacked. All his attack methods come from the spells cast by the monk himself."

"If someone who is not familiar with this formation rushes in rashly and is deceived by the illusion, it will inevitably lead to mutual killing. The more people there are, the more chaos will be. The former is that we cannot understand this formation, so we have suffered a great loss."

Yuan You nodded and said, "Since fellow Taoist Chisong understands this formation, he must be able to break it!"

Chi Song said: "It's not difficult to break the formation, but there must be at least eight people, and they must know the formation method, otherwise the gang will become more chaotic."

Yuan You said: "This is simple, you can choose from all the monks in the entire army, and you can always find eight people who are proficient in formation."

"In addition, I hope that someone can help us and protect the Dharma for us. I expect that the Xuanmen will come to attack when we break the formation. If there are too many, there will be chaos, but it must be cultivated to a high level."

"Okay, I will trouble fellow Taoists to protect the monks who broke the formation, so as not to attack from the Taoist sect."

"Yes." Several people responded one after another.

"Fellow Chisong, do you have any other requests?"

Akamatsu shook his head.

"Give me an order to let all the monks above the column steward who are well versed in formation techniques gather here."

"Yes." A man took the order and disappeared.

Not long after, more than ten light escapes came to the Leizi boat one after another.

Chi Song casually asked everyone about the formation, which was a test, and then selected eight people out of a dozen.

Including the monks who protected the law, a total of twenty people escaped into the gray fog in a flash.

A few people escaped from the light, and suddenly there was a loud howling of ghosts and wolves, but they saw dozens of huge ghosts with struggling faces attacking everyone around them.

"Don't do it." Chi Song yelled softly, and saw a huge red round shield condensed, enveloping everyone inside.

The ghosts rushing around screamed and attacked, and when they touched the red round shield, it immediately shattered and turned into gray mist and disappeared.

"Fellow daoists, please listen to me. No matter what the situation is, don't rush to attack. If it's an emergency, just protect yourself." Chisong said, turning over his hands, and took out a glass jade bottle, Throw it up.

The jade bottle rose against the wind, emitting light blue light, spinning in mid-air, and slowly poked forward.

After traveling for about tens of miles, there was a sudden bang, but an arrow bursting with scarlet light shot towards it and hit the rotating glass jade bottle.

In an instant, the glazed bottle shattered with a click.

"Fellow Chisong, what's going on here? Didn't you say that this formation has no means of attack? Why was your glazed jade cup shattered? Where did the arrow come from? Could it be someone ambushing?" Seeing this, the man with white temples asked in confusion.

Chi Song looked a little ugly, and explained: "This formation does not have offensive means, but as I said earlier, it can absorb all forms of spiritual power and use it for its own use."

"Presumably Xuanmen has left enough attack methods in the formation before, such as the attributes of talismans and magical powers. The formation has absorbed the leftover methods and turned them into their own use. Naturally, they can be manipulated and displayed."

"If Xuanmen sends people to attack us, how should we respond? Should we fight back or just defend but not attack?"

"Naturally, we have to fight back."

"If we fight back, won't the spiritual power be absorbed by the formation? Will it still bite us back in the future?"

"The array can only absorb a part of the spiritual power, and there is an upper limit of saturation. With our cultivation base, we don't need to pay too much attention to its attack methods. Just be careful not to be confused by the illusion array and attack each other." Chisong said, turning his hands again. A blood-colored jade bead emerged, emitting crimson light, and revolving around Zhou Ce.

"I would like to ask fellow Taoists to protect the Dharma for me. With me as the center, occupy eight positions within a radius of ten miles, lest Taoist cultivators launch formations to attack and destroy my blood soul orb."

The figures of several people flashed, occupying Zhou Zhe's position, Chisong muttered something, the blood beads swelled bigger and bigger, and there was a surge inside, as if something was about to burst out of the beads.

He only heard him yell softly, and pointed at the blood bead, and a round and curled up baby inside squeezed out the blood bead, as if curiously born from the mother's womb.

The blood baby slowly stretched out its arms, opened its blood-red eyes, and saw it opened its mouth, shooting out hundreds of dense blood-colored silk threads, flying and hovering in mid-air.

The blood baby soared into the air, spewing out many blood-colored silk threads flying from its mouth, and everyone surrounded him and moved with him.

Half an hour later, the blood-colored silk threads spewed out of the blood baby's mouth suddenly stagnated, and then they all shot out towards a certain space, and there was only a crisp sound, like the sound of the ground breaking.

The bloody thread crazily drilled into that space, and a black hole the size of a pinhole appeared. The blood thread passed through the black hole and squeezed to both sides. The black hole was stretched bigger and bigger. Everyone came forward.

Chisong pulled out a formation flag in his hand and stuck it under the black hole.

"Fellow Chisong, is this black hole the channel connecting them to the altar?" asked a man with gray temples.

"That's right, but I guess this should be just a channel for one of the positions."

"Then can we reach their camp through this passage and destroy their altar?"

Chisong shook his head and said: "This kind of space channel is very unstable. As long as outsiders attack, it will collapse immediately, and then it will cause a large area of ​​space to be annihilated."

The blood baby spit out flying blood-red threads and continued to explore forward, and everyone walked slowly around its side.

………………

Above the valley, many warships and chariots are displayed in the sky. On the towering and majestic Leizi ship, Duan Zhenyu stands on the bow, looking at the surging gray fog, his brows are tightly frowned.

A ray of light shot from a distance, and a man with a swallow's jaw and a tiger beard appeared. The light fell in front of Duan Zhenyu, and he bowed and said, "Uncle, the Mubei demon already has twenty high-ranking monks." Enter the ban and break the formation."

Duan Zhenyu nodded slightly: "You go first!"

"Yes." The man responded and left.

"Mubei monsters are pressing every step of the way. We don't know how long it will take for reinforcements from other islands to arrive. Now that the entire island is occupied by monsters, we have become a trapped beast. For the current plan, we can only stand by and wait for help. Fellow Daoists, it is worthwhile." This is a survival plan, if you don't fight to the death, you and I will die here." Duan Zhenyu looked back at the people behind him and said.

"Everything is ordered by Fellow Daoist Duan."

"Since Daoist Duan is the head coach of the headquarters, there is no one who dares not to follow orders."

Several people expressed their opinions one after another.

"Fellow daoists have this determination, follow me into the formation and fight to the death with the monsters. There is no other way. Send me an order to call all the column managers here."

"Yes." A man replied, turning himself into light and leaving.

About a quarter of an hour later, dozens of figures gathered on the deck of the Leizi ship one after another.

Duan Zhenyu stood in front of everyone, pointed at the gray smoke covering the sky and said: "You have all seen that the army of demons has surrounded the entire island and wants to eat us in one go. After they broke through the city, they did not rush after us. Instead, it is advancing step by step, the purpose is to completely annihilate the army stationed on the island, leaving no one alive."

"Now the monsters have attacked the front of the formation. If the formation is broken and the stones are burned, you and I will die without a place to die. You can only fight hard to kill the enemy and fight to the death. When the reinforcements arrive, there will be a glimmer of life. .”

"The monsters have entered the battle today. At this moment of life and death, all the kings are needed to work together. If you are willing to join me in the battle, please raise your left arm."

When everyone heard this, they all raised their left arms high.

"Since everyone is willing to follow me into the battle to slay demons and demons, you must do your best to fight the enemy to the last breath. I swear on my personal reputation, no matter how high the person is. No matter how powerful the people behind him are, Duan will take his head and hang it on the flagpole of this ship as a warning to everyone else."

Duan Zhenyu made a loud voice, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone's faces.

Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at them, and said in their mouths: "I would like to follow the order of my uncle (senior).

"In this fight with the enemy, either the enemy will die or I will die. If there is no order from me, those who retreat without permission will be killed without mercy."

Everyone's heart trembled, and they said yes.

As soon as the voice fell, there was a rush of gray mist, and a huge black hole appeared in the midair.

Duan Zhenyu said: "The monster has found a channel for our formation, and it may break out of the formation at any time. It is not too late. You should return to the headquarters as soon as possible, gather all the people, and join the transfer boat with me to enter the formation and kill the monster. "

"Yes." The crowd answered, each of them turned away.

.....................

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged refining Qi to restore his depleted spiritual power, when he suddenly heard loud rumbles all around him, he opened his eyes and saw many warships and chariots soaring into the sky.

The two heavenly spirit ships of the fifth column were shining brightly and heading straight to the north. Everyone on the deck looked at each other and looked at each other without knowing why.

Tangning stood up unconsciously. Seeing the two Sky Spirit boats drifting away, she felt very puzzled.

Now that the enemy is at hand, what does it mean that these two heavenly spirit ships carrying the high-level columns suddenly dropped everyone and headed north?Do you want to escape alone?

It's not that he is suspicious. In this situation, everyone is already a trapped beast. At the time of life and death, anything can happen.

To put it bluntly, these low-level cannon fodder have now become a burden to the entire team.

If the higher-ups want to break through, it is only possible to abandon them. If they lead them to break through, they will inevitably be chased and surrounded by demons.

The movement of the spirit boat immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone was in doubt, when the door of the cabin turned open, dozens of figures came out, the leader was a man with gray temples, big ears, and dressed in Taixuanzong's costume.

"Fellow daoists, please gather here." A burly and strong man behind him said in a thunderous voice.

When everyone heard this, their figures flickered, and they gathered in front of him one after another.

Due to the chasing and killing of the Mubei monsters, the Taoist team was scattered, so it appeared chaotic.

"You don't need to worry. The reason why the top leaders of the column of the headquarters left on the spirit ship was because they received the order from the legion. This trip was to fight to the death with Mubei's demons, in order to protect the safety of our department." On the one hand, the man with big ears seemed to know everyone's doubts and explained.

"Today, the Mubei demon soldiers are outside the formation. Once the formation is broken, they will be destroyed. None of you and I will be spared. For now, we have to stick to this formation and wait for reinforcements. Only then can we have a chance of survival. At this time of life and death, everyone is the only one. Only by working together can we protect ourselves, otherwise we will die without a place to be buried, and we will die in the belly of the demon."

"Although some fellow Taoists present are not cultivators of the headquarters, how can we separate you and me at this critical time?"

"In order to facilitate the unified command and enhance the combat effectiveness of the headquarters, the team is now reorganized."

"Li Xiaoyuan, Zhang Yu, Huang Yuan."

As soon as the words fell, four men walked out of the team behind him, bowed and said: "The disciple is here."

"You each select the new monks who joined the headquarters and incorporate them into your team."

"Yes." The three replied in unison.

The man said a few more words of encouragement, and a group of people entered the cabin, leaving only Li Xiaoyuan and the other three to select the fleeing monks outside.
