Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 156 First Battle at Level
Gun Shide felt a chill all over his body as he looked at the majestic flying sword hanging in front of him.

To be fair, a group of rats led by rare creatures like the second-level gold-eating rat is no longer something that an ordinary foundation-building cultivator can contend with.

When Gun Shide first discovered the situation, he mustered up the courage to go forward and fight the rats together with the seemingly unsophisticated female cultivator and the Qi-cultivating cultivators who followed them. This was considered a very responsible act.

Unfortunately, there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides. After fighting for a while, the Qi-cultivating monks gradually became food for the rats.

Until the magic weapon of the female foundation-building cultivator was completely destroyed, and the rats took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in when she turned around to escape. The scene of her companions being chewed up made Gun Shide lose the confidence to fight against the rats, so he fled for his life.

While escaping, he also knew to warn the Qigong practitioners trapped in the cave, which was a very conscientious act. So he didn't think there was anything wrong with running back to the state court alone to report after leaving the cave.

After all, in his opinion, the cultivators who had not yet rushed out of the mine, including the fat cultivator who was building his foundation, were all dead bones in a tomb, and it was difficult for them to survive.

But if a swarm of rats of this size cannot be stopped, then the mineral vein here will be lost. They will definitely rush out of the mineral vein and wreak havoc in Tanggu County.

These ugly creatures even eat broken rocks, so what else can't they eat? They will probably eat everything along the way, including mortal cities and monk markets.

Perhaps some foundation-building forces can stay in the formation and protect themselves for a longer time, but as long as there is no reinforcement to rescue them, it will be difficult to have a good result.

"A letter talisman is not as reliable as if I went back to report the news myself!" Gun Shide comforted himself with this excuse all the way. He drove the flying boat very quickly for a while until he was blocked by the flying sword of the Taoist priest with messy beard and black shoes in front of him.

Gun Shide felt bitter at the time. He naturally recognized this man. After all, in the rural area of ​​Yunjiaozhou, there were not many people who dared to challenge Fei Nan and Sima Fei on the spot.

He had no choice but to obey the other party's orders, turn the flying boat around, and fly back to the spirit stone mine.

"Don't be anxious, Fellow Daoist Hei Lu. I have no intention of deceiving you. There are definitely more than ten thousand gold-eating rats in that mine. It would be safer to inform the provincial court first and ask more people of the same rank to come here."

After hearing the threats from the Taoist Heilius, Gun Shide showed sincerity on his face and explained in a soft voice without sounding false.

At the same time, he was also muttering in his heart: "Could it be that the young sect leader is really the wild son of this Black Shoe Taoist?"

"Let's get on with our journey," the Taoist Heilius said in a stiff tone without softening his expression when facing Gun Shide.

"I didn't expect that this retreat would last so much longer than expected. If something happens to that kid, I would really fail my elder brother's trust."

-

The fat foundation-building cultivator cursed even more harshly, and then he sacrificed a second-level golden bowl, casting a Buddha's light, which killed many gold-eating rats, but still had little effect.

Under the leadership of the second-level leader and the influence of the colorless fragrance, this group of beasts have completely lost their minds. Moreover, there is no telling how many gold-eating rats are lurking in the entire mine, and they are constantly gathering from various dark pits and corridors.

The number of gold-eating rats killed by the monks led by Fatty Jianji might be a bit exaggerated to say that they were just a drop in the bucket, but it was not an exaggeration to say that they were just minor injuries.

Monsters like gold-eating rats can be stepped on by anyone at ordinary times, but they only show their power when they gather together.

The Sanskrit protective wall of Fatty's foundation-building technique was in danger, but the formation master still had a bitter look on his face. Facing the high-level formation that Fatty had taken out, he seemed to have no idea what to do.

Sect Leader Kang and Kuai En were also in danger while dealing with the second-order gold-eating rats.

Although the gold-eating rat is not known for its individual strength, it is still a second-level monster, which is theoretically equivalent to a true foundation-building cultivator. The fat foundation-building cultivator wanted a dozen Qi-training cultivators including Sect Leader Kang to fight with him, and their lives were hanging by a thread at all times.

The second-level gold-eating rat guarding the exit did not mobilize the gold-eating rats that blocked the monks' way to survival, and still planned to slaughter all the monks.

Although it could no longer mobilize a few low-level peers to help it at this moment, its relatively powerful strength still overwhelmed the group of practitioners and made them breathless.

"Here!" A shirtless monk saw that a second-level gold-eating rat was about to rush in front of him, so he immediately threw a sky thunder ball, which exploded on the back of the second-level gold-eating rat, allowing him to escape.

The Qi-cultivating monks who could survive until now must have some skills, just like Kuai En. An ordinary Qi-cultivating monk in the middle stage would have run out of strength by now, but although he was panting, he still did not hold Kang Dabao back too much.

So it is normal that someone can use his trump card to blow the second-level gold-eating rat to pieces.

Ming Yue took advantage of the opportunity to curl his fingers into a sword. A black and white flying sword wrapped in yin and yang sword energy pierced straight into the wound on the second-level gold-eating rat that had just been blown by Tianlei Zi.

"Hiss!" A sharp pain came from his back, causing the second-level gold-eating rat to scream in pain, and directly used its strength in its flesh and bones to clamp the flying sword tightly. Ming Yue's face was not good. Seven out of ten of his abilities were in this sword technique that had been passed down in his family for generations. He changed his finger gestures continuously, causing the Yin-Yang flying sword that was still locked by the second-level gold-eating rat to shake wildly for a while, but still failed to break free.

When the second-level gold-eating rat suffers a loss, someone will always be unlucky.

It targeted the shirtless monk and circled its long tail. The latter used an ancient rock square shield to block it slightly. Several magical weapons, including Kang Dabao's short blade and Kuai En's long axe, hit the smooth and hairless tail of the second-level gold-eating rat.

Unexpectedly, although this left several wounds on the tail, causing the second-level gold-eating rat to scream in pain, it still failed to force it to stop its attack on the shirtless monk.

The hairless long tail exerted force and all the monks' magic weapons were shaken back. The demonic power gathered at the tip of the tail, and the long tail instantly turned into a big spear, which knocked the ancient rock square shield to the ground and then stabbed straight at the head of the shirtless monk.

Master Kang did not think for too long, and his golden eyes shone through and hit the wound on the back of the second-level gold-eating rat.

The butt of the gun aimed at the shirtless monk was slightly off target, missing his head and hitting the center of his chest. The Master Kang's golden eyes failed to save the monk, and it could only be considered a futile effort.

"I didn't expect this second-level gold-eating rat to be able to endure this severe pain!"

All the cultivators present watched as the back of the second-order gold-eating rat was blown to pieces, but it still stabbed the shirtless cultivator to death before letting out a cry of pain.

Ming Yue looked at Kang Dabao's previous pupil technique, seeming to be thinking about something.

Given the long-standing relationship between the two families, they had naturally heard of the Golden Eyes that could break delusion, which was well-known in Yunjiaozhou by Zhang Zushi of the Chongming Sect.

"What neither the Zhang family nor the He family could learn, a member of the Kang family learned."

Being in danger, Ming Yue had no time to think about anything else. He bit the tip of his tongue and spurted out a stream of blood. The sword finger in his hand stirred up a stream of spiritual power that turned into smoke. The flying sword on the gold-eating rat's back shook violently, squeezing out a tiny gap in the flesh of the gold-eating rat. If this continued, the rat would break free.

But the second-level gold-eating rat ignored the wound on its back, and while pouncing on Kang Dabao, it also rolled its tail and squeezed the bones of a red-haired monk behind him, killing him on the spot.

Kang Dabao's eyes flashed and he fired again.

At this time, the second-level gold-eating rat will not just sit there and be beaten. The gold-eating rat is known for its agility. As a strong member of the tribe who has broken through the shackles of race, its speed should not be underestimated.

It simply dodged and leaped sideways, and easily avoided the golden eyes of Master Kang. It turned around and hit the Qingyuan Shield that Kang Dabao had already raised with its tail.

The masterpiece of the Chongming Sect's number one weapon refiner was smashed to pieces on the ground like a piece of paper.

The tail of the meat brushed past Master Kang two feet in front of his body, but the strong wind it created still tore his robes, and the flesh on his thighs was turned over, and blood oozed from the hideous wound.

Kang Dabao's monastic robes were soaked again. In the face of the danger of one tooth being cut off, the other monks did not stand idly by and immediately rushed to rescue him.

The meat tail danced wildly, sometimes hard as a steel spear, sometimes soft as a willow, and it used the same trick to knock back all the magical weapons.

Ming Yue's expression was not angry but happy. He felt that under the siege of the cultivators, the second-level gold-eating rat no longer had enough strength to lock his Yin-Yang Flying Sword.

The fingers changed, and the flying sword shook continuously, squeezing out a large amount of blood from the wound of the second-level gold-eating rat. Soon, only the tip of the sword was left in the flesh, and it was about to break free!
However, at this moment, the second-level gold-eating rat that had pounced on Kang Dabao stopped and clamped its back suddenly.

An irregular fine line appeared on the tip of the sword that Ming Yue was about to pull out, spreading from the tip of the sword to the entire body of the flying sword.

"Hua La La", Ming Yue's flying sword suddenly broke into pieces. The flying sword that was connected to his heart and blood was destroyed, and he was also seriously injured due to exhaustion.

The second-level gold-eating rat did not give up this opportunity. It changed direction and did not care about Kang Dabao behind it who was enduring the severe pain and fired another golden eye to hit itself.

It pounced on Ming Yue immediately, and its ten sharp claws scratched ten horrible scars on his body. The blood covered the claws and dyed it black.

However, no one cared about this at this time. The second-level gold-eating rat bit Ming Yue's neck with its yellow and black fangs and bit off his head.

At the same time, the Sanskrit wall on which Fatty built his foundation also collapsed. The rats behind him also pressed forward, like a black cloud destroying a city, like a surging river.
