Chapter 259 Strategy to break the situation
Inside the camp.

After Wu Ming and Wu Zhe returned, the battle situation in the entire camp was completely stabilized.

If this situation continues, it should be fine even if it lasts for several months.

But for the people inside the camp, now that the situation had been stabilized, they naturally did not want to remain under siege indefinitely, and the next step was to consider how to break the siege.

"This attack on the camp is centered around those three eighth-tier molten fire beings. If we can kill any one of them, we will be able to resolve this crisis."

"Such a large number of molten lifeforms, from various different races, are simply forcibly brought together."

While fighting off the attacks from the molten creatures outside the camp, someone spoke in a low voice, discussing the matter with the others.

But Li Shoucheng, who was floating in the air manipulating the formation to resist the three eighth-tier molten fire lifeforms, shook his head slightly and said, "The combat power of the eighth-tier molten fire lifeforms is already the pinnacle of this world. It is basically impossible to kill them. Even with the suppression of the formation, it is still as difficult as ascending to heaven..."

In fact, the eighth-tier Molten Lifeform is not invincible. If there are two more Grandmasters in the camp, then with the suppression of the formation, a sudden concentrated attack could kill one of them.

But right now he's all alone, and he can't hold on by himself. Even if there are other peerless masters like Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan, they are still some distance from being grandmasters. Even if they join forces, it's still impossible for them to kill a true eighth-order life form.

In some situations, even a slight difference in the power of a technique can make a world of difference.

Moreover,

If there were more Grandmasters in the camp, they wouldn't be in this predicament. Even just one more would have driven away the besieging Molten Lifeforms long ago.

It's rather strange. More than four years ago, before the last time the passage opened, there were always two or three Grandmasters in the Great Jin camp. Until four years ago, another Grandmaster who was with Li Shoucheng returned to the Holy Land, and at the same time, no other Grandmasters entered the Molten Realm, leaving only one Grandmaster in the camp.

This is also the time when the Molten Realm camp has been the most sparsely populated in over a hundred years.

It was precisely at this time that the Molten Lifeforms strangely gathered together and launched a large-scale attack on the camp. It has to be said that the situation was very strange, and Li Shoucheng even sensed the flavor of a conspiracy.

But he didn't say it out loud. After all, even if it was someone deliberately plotting against them and secretly watching them fight, they didn't have any good solutions at the moment and could only continue to follow the other party's plan.

After all, the Molten Lifeforms are impossible to communicate with. It's impossible to explain any advantages or disadvantages to these Molten Lifeforms. We must find a way to repel them first before considering dealing with other possible threats.

"We can't deal with the three-headed, level-eight molten creatures, but we can force them to give up."

Wu Zhe suddenly spoke up.

He kept swinging his sword to fend off the attacks from the molten lifeforms outside the formation. At the same time, he glanced at the three eighth-tier lifeforms in the sky and said, "The Fire God Bird, the Flame Demon, and the Fiery Horned Serpent... they are not of the same race. To put it bluntly, they are just forcibly grouped together. If we target one of them and kill more, they might have conflicts and disagreements. Once one of them chooses to give up and retreat with its tribe, then this siege will naturally be broken."

Upon hearing Wu Zhe's words, many people's eyes flickered slightly, and even Li Shoucheng showed a thoughtful expression.

indeed,

With hundreds of Molten Lifeforms joining forces to attack, and three Tier 8 Molten Lifeforms controlling the overall situation, it would probably take eliminating more than half of them to completely scatter and drive them back.

Dealing with so many Molten Lifeforms would be a huge burden for the camp, and could very likely result in mutual destruction.

However, if we only target one of the clans, it will be much easier. The Firebird Clan, the Flame Demon Clan, and the Fiery Horned Serpent Clan are the three most important core clans in this siege. Among them, the Firebird Clan has the largest number, nearly thirty, while the Flame Demon Clan and the Fiery Horned Serpent Clan have much fewer. The Fiery Horned Serpent Clan has only about twenty members, and the Flame Demon Clan has only fourteen members.

As the saying goes, it's better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten. If the most ruthless individuals in the concentration camp were to suddenly attack and kill one of the tribes, reducing them to more than half their number, then the three eighth-tier molten fire beings in the sky would likely become restless. Once they disagreed with each other, the siege would naturally collapse on its own.

“Junior Brother Wu’s judgment is correct. That’s what I was thinking too. The Firebird clan is too numerous and too agile. They are not easy to kill when they are on the outer edge of the formation. Although the Flame Demon clan is the fewest in number, their defense and vitality are extremely strong. Each individual is much stronger than the Firebird, so they are not suitable.”

Li Shoucheng spoke in a deep voice.

The people communicated through telepathy within the formation, so even when battles were raging in all directions of the camp, the sounds were deafening, and they could still hear each other clearly.

After listening to Li Shoucheng's words, Wu Zhe, Chu Xuan, and the others had no objections after their eyes flickered. After all, the analysis of the situation was indeed reasonable, and the Fiery Horned Serpent Clan was indeed the most suitable clan to target at the moment.

With the plan decided, the next step is to identify the person responsible for its execution.

Although the Fiery Horned Serpent's defense and vitality are not as good as the Flame Demon's, it is still slightly stronger than the Fire God Bird. Moreover, the goal this time is not to injure it, but to kill it. It needs to briefly cross the formation's range and kill it quickly.

For the masters in the camp, even the top masters do not have the power to instantly kill a Fiery Horned Serpent in a short time. Only those who have reached the level of 'Peerless Master' can do so.

Within the camp, there are currently only three individuals who have reached the level of peerless grandmasters.

Wu Zhe, Chu Xuan, and Huo Yun.

"...The task of killing the Fiery Horned Serpent is entrusted to you two, Junior Brother Wu and Junior Brother Chu."

After pondering for a moment, Li Shoucheng spoke to Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan.

If two peerless masters joined forces, it wouldn't be difficult to kill a single Fiery Horned Serpent in a short time. However, due to the chaos of the external battlefield, the twenty Fiery Horned Serpents were gathered together. Even if there were other people nearby who could entangle them, it would be very difficult to separate one and kill it alone, making the situation much more complicated.

The main reason is that, besides the two, the third peerless master, Huo Yun, cultivates methods that are more inclined towards defense and large-scale suppression. She can withstand the pressure of a large area outside the camp by herself.

If she were also transferred there to assist Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan, the camp's defenses would be somewhat lacking, and the pressure would be too great. In addition, she is not good at one-on-one attacks. It would be better to send two other junior brothers with top-notch strength and killing skills to assist Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan instead of transferring her there.

"Okay, let me try."

Wu Zhe readily agreed, and Chu Xuan also had no objections.

Now,

The two immediately withdrew from their current posting area and headed towards the area besieged by the Fiery Horned Serpent, where they suddenly attacked.

Wu Zhe drew his sword, and Chu Xuan brandished his blade. The two peerless masters joined forces and launched a sudden attack. The power of their attack was naturally terrifying and astonishing. They targeted a Fiery Horned Serpent that was wandering on the edge of the battle and was quite far away from the other Fiery Horned Serpents. Their sudden attack caught the Fiery Horned Serpent off guard, and it appeared somewhat flustered. It tried its best to break out and resist the two men's attack.

"Hiss!!"

The other Firehorned Serpents reacted immediately and attempted to provide assistance.

However, Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan were both peerless grandmasters, and the attack was sudden. In addition, there were other people in the camp who intervened from a distance, which prevented the group of Fiery Horned Serpents from providing immediate support, delaying them for about two or three breaths.

It only takes two or three breaths.

laugh.

A section of the snake's head shot into the sky, only to be cleanly severed by Wu Zhe's blade. Immediately afterward, Chu Xuan unleashed a series of sword beams, cleaving the fiery horned serpent's body into countless fragments, completely extinguishing its life force and rendering it utterly dead.

"hiss!!!"

The death of one of their kind enraged the group of Firehorned Serpents. Their combined fury unleashed a raging inferno that seemed to concentrate all the heat of the battlefield in their wake.

Enraged, they unleashed a barrage of flames and various attacks at Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan, determined to capture them.

However, Wu Zhe and his companion had anticipated this, and they killed the serpent quickly and retreated even faster. After dealing with the Fiery Horned Serpent, they immediately withdrew and retreated back into the camp before the large group of Fiery Horned Serpents could surround them.

The enraged fire serpents coiled outside the camp's formation, hissing intermittently, but dared not rush into the camp. They could only spew various flames from the outside, splashing them towards the camp.

"Senior Brother Chu's swordsmanship is becoming more and more exquisite."

After Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan returned to their camp, Wu Zhe smiled at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan smiled, holding his sword, and said, "Not at all, it can't compare to Senior Brother Wu's swordsmanship."

Both men were modest, but in reality, as unparalleled masters in the camp, they had sparred with each other more than once, and were basically evenly matched. Now, they were both very satisfied with their joint attack on the Fiery Horned Serpent.

After a period of rest, the two made their move again.

This was another successful battle. Together, they killed another Fiery Horned Serpent. However, this time the Fiery Horned Serpent clan was on guard. During the retreat after the kill, Wu Zhe was hit by a Fire Serpent Shadow spewed by the Fiery Horned Serpent. Despite wearing a Spirit Treasure-level armor and having an extremely strong physique, blood still spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his body was injured by the shock.

Seeing that Wu Zhe was injured, Chu Xuan and others nearby all turned to look at him.

"The injury isn't serious, it's nothing to worry about. It's just that this fiery power is a bit troublesome and needs some rest."

Wu Zhe waved his hand magnanimously and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

For a Seven Blood Grandmaster's physique, internal injuries, if not severe, can heal themselves in a short time. However, the Fiery Horned Serpent's attack methods are not ordinary. They contain a fiery power that penetrates the meridians and burns the body internally, requiring the suppression of blood energy and internal breath.

"It's already quite good that you dealt with the two Fiery Horned Serpents in such a short time. Senior Brother Wu, take good care of yourself."

Chu Xuan spoke up, looking up at the sky, and said, "That guy was also a bit startled."

now,

Above the sky.

After two of its kin were killed by Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan, the eighth-tier Fiery Horned Serpent was clearly enraged. The flames surrounding its body became even more agitated, and it repeatedly attacked the formation, engaging in a battle with Li Shoucheng from a distance.

At the same time, it emitted a hissing sound, causing the Fire Horned Serpent clan below to tighten their lines somewhat.

……

at the same time.

far away.

Cao Hou and Chi Yingbo, from the Dayu side, were still observing the Great Jin camp from afar.

"Targeting a single clan for assassination is a good way to break the deadlock."

Chi Yingbo remained calm, seemingly without much worry, and said, "However, the Fiery Horned Serpent clan is not stupid. The loss of two of their own kind in a short period of time will surely make them more vigilant... It won't be so easy to launch another attack."

What they wanted was for the Molten Life and the Great Jin camp to fight to the death, and then they could reap the benefits. If the Great Jin side could kill a large number of Fiery Horned Serpents in a short period of time, forcing the eighth-tier Fiery Horned Serpent to give up the siege and lead its kin to retreat, then they could naturally get out of trouble quickly. However, in his opinion, this idea was good, but it was not so easy to implement.

as predicted.

After Wu Zhe spent nearly a day completely dispelling the fiery power within his body and fully healing his injuries, he joined forces with Chu Xuan again to launch an attack. However, this time the attack did not go as smoothly as the previous two.

The Fiery Horned Serpent clan was prepared and had tightened its defenses, no longer acting alone, but gathering in groups of two or three. Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan launched a full-scale attack, but only managed to severely injure one of them, failing to kill it, and even nearly getting themselves surrounded.

"Damn it, this Fiery Horned Serpent isn't smart, but it's not stupid either. This is getting a bit troublesome."

Chu Xuan's expression turned somewhat gloomy.

The two then attempted several more attacks, but all were unsuccessful. In their final attempt, Chu Xuan was injured again due to a mishap and had to retreat to heal.

The predicament of the battle here also caught Li Shoucheng's attention, causing him to frown. Should he send his junior sister Huoyun to assist Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan as well?

The fact that the troops of two peerless masters, Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan, were separated has already put some pressure on the garrisons of other areas. If Huo Yun is also transferred there, the pressure on other directions will be too great.

As for drawing two top masters... judging from the battle situation between Wu Zhe and Chu Xuan, having two more people assist might not have much effect.

Just when the situation was getting into trouble.

Suddenly a voice sounded.

"Senior Brother Li, let me give it a try."

Li Shoucheng paused, looking in the direction of the voice transmission, and saw a figure wearing a Taoist robe looking over from afar.

His eyes reflected a crimson light, and just a slight touch was enough to feel an indescribable murderous aura, as if suppressing a monstrous killing intent.

The figure was none other than Wu Ming.

"you……"

Li Shoucheng was not familiar with Wu Ming and was momentarily astonished, because he could vaguely sense a trace of the power of law in Wu Ming's eyes. But could this law, filled with the intent of killing, be the legendary law of killing that is the most difficult to comprehend?

Everyone else also looked over, including Wu Zhe, Zhu He, and others. After vaguely sensing the slight change in Wu Ming's aura, they were all somewhat stunned.

Could it be that Wu Ming has... broken through?
