Chapter 240: Seven Cities Surrounding the Village 7
"The best thing to do now is to work out a set of rules."
At this moment, the remaining monks from the major sects gathered on the tables and chairs under the tower, but they all had worried brows and anxious eyes.
The cold moonlight was as pale as their mood at the moment. There were only a few stars hanging in the sky and the occasional strange chirping of insects, which would make them look around for a while.
"Those who have no guts, leave now, those who have guts, stay."
Fu Haishan looked at this group of useless people. They had lost all their face today. He had already missed the best opportunity. Now it seemed that the bald guy was only at the third level of foundation building. If he used up all the energy of his "divine armor" buff, wouldn't those people be at his mercy?
Everyone was sighing, they were really fooled by him at that time. Now think about it, those ten people were killed by his sneak attack at the beginning. Ling Yiling from Demon Cherry Valley might have been careless because of his low cultivation level. After his death, all his fellow disciples went crazy. Such lunatics who didn't know how to hide could be killed by him with one sword.
It’s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world, those people died unjustly.
"Fight them. They dare to fight such a small group of people. Are we all cowards?"
Wan Jianshan Shang Xianming, who was already middle-aged, stood up with a red face.
"Of course we have to fight, but we can't do it with the number of people we have now."
Hehuan Zongying's Cangli spoke softly. She had just reacted. Although she was still lying in the arms of a male cultivator, repaying his life-saving grace, her expression had returned to normal and she had recovered.
"If everyone agrees, then let's call for help."
Duan Qiuchen from Yangxinyuan said with a gloomy face.
His broken bones have regenerated with the help of the elixir, but he can't use them at the moment. He will have to wait until tomorrow morning to recover.
"No wonder that charming female cultivator is so arrogant. In other secret realms, as long as you tell your name, everyone will do you a favor and meet you in the future. Now she doesn't even dare to tell her name. Naturally, she expected the outcome today and is afraid that all these things will be blamed on her."
"Now all of my fellow disciples have collapsed in the corridor, not a single one has been left behind. Even if we bring back Junior Brother Fan's belongings, I'm afraid we will still be blamed." The more Duan Qiuchen thought about it, the more melancholy he became.
"Then I'll go first, watch mine."
Wei Yangjing raised his hand and ten firework signal talismans were released, followed by another ten. This was not over yet, his hands did not stop moving, and the firework signal talismans were continuously released.
Duan Qiuchen looked at this second-generation rich kid with a twitch in his mouth. "This guy actually had the idea of setting off fireworks in this secret realm early on, otherwise he wouldn't have prepared so thoroughly. In just a short while, he might have burned a piece of spiritual stone."
Clusters of fireworks exploded in the night sky and bloomed into beautiful flowers. Even if you are far away, you can see this rare and brilliant splendor as long as you look up.
"Huh, it's actually a call to action?"
"This bunch of rubbish, can't they even take down a stone fortress?"
"No way, are we going to summon all the monks from the seven cities to attack the Stone City Stronghold?"
When everyone saw the summons, their expressions were different. Some were happy, some were disdainful.
"Amitabha, good, good, good."
Master Zhong Gen looked at the fireworks and shouted the Buddha's name.
"Brother Zhong, shall we go?"
A disciple from Lingyin Temple stuck his head out and asked.
"Don't fight, don't be quiet, don't care, don't be angry. Go and see, when it's time to take action, the Buddha will say it, and when it's not time to take action, the Buddha will also say it."
Zhong Gen withdrew his eyes from looking up at the sky, his heart was calm again, and he walked towards the Stone City Fortress.
Other Lingyin Temple disciples, hurry up and follow.
"Whoever wants to go can go. I'm only at the third level of foundation building. What does it have to do with me?" Sima Rou looked at the fireworks with disdain.
"Sister Rou, look, that firework is the biggest. It should be a fourth-level firework talisman, right?" A female cultivator nearby pointed excitedly and said.
"Which second generation Yuanying is so extravagant that he has already thrown away at least ten fourth-level talismans that cost 500 spirit stones each."
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk, poverty really limits my imagination. I work so hard, getting up early and going to bed late to dig herbs here. I feel lucky to earn 1000 spirit stones. This second-generation Nascent Soul has already burned a spirit stone, and he doesn't show any intention of stopping.” Sima Rou looked at the gorgeous fireworks with some hatred for the rich. Every explosion made her heart tremble.
"Okay, Wei Yangjing, we still have business to discuss." Shang Xianming of Wanjian Mountain stopped him and silently put his first-level fireworks signal talisman back into the storage bag.
"Oh, okay, the final curtain call performance."
Wei Yangjing grinned, took out a fifth-level fireworks signal talisman, raised his hand and shot it towards the sky.
The firework exploded in a riot of colours, filling up most of the night sky. It also dragged out long tails from the sky, each with a different colour, truly a dazzling display of colours.
"You all have seen it today. The enemy is not simple." Duan Qiuchen was eager for revenge and spoke first without waiting for the noisy fireworks to stop.
"Yes, that charming female cultivator who always wears a bamboo hat is no ordinary person. She is much more difficult to deal with than those three ferocious beasts."
Yang Xiangyan of Black Wind Village stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.
"Those people are already familiar with her fighting style. Even if they risk their lives to kill her, it will be useless."
Duo Zhixin from the Divine Weapon Pavilion said in a deep voice that five disciples from the Divine Weapon Pavilion were trapped this time, and his face did not look good either.
The others then realized that when the battle line collapsed, although the eagles and tigers were ferocious, they did not kill many monks after facing the good fighters on their side. Instead, more than 30 people died at the hands of others.
Those people have endless attack and defense magic weapons, not to mention a 30% buff. They are both offensive and defensive, with a sense of advance and retreat, and their methods and strength are quite good.
"Everyone should have realized that if we rush over in a chaotic manner like before, I'm afraid we will still be unable to do anything to those people in Shichengzhai."
Tian Zhujiao Jing Lianghai stood up and said loudly.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"We have experts in this area, don't we? I don't believe that the people in the Self-Sacrifice Academy can be worse than that female cultivator."
He Rangmei from Yihong Courtyard spoke softly.
"Yes, I have always heard that Sheshenyuan governs the family with martial arts, but I have never seen it. But I have seen Yangxinyuan, which has always cultivated qi with the heart. Their qi cultivation skills are not good enough, and they have not even walked out of the corridor."
Wei Yangjing jumped up again, shouting and yelling.
Duan Qiuchen's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out of it. His mood, which had just calmed down, began to ripple. The clown who had been suppressed by him all along was now in power and began to be unreasonable.
"Everyone in the Sheshenyuan, how long are you going to watch the fun?"
The famous general Shang Xian of Wanjian Mountain turned his gaze towards the ten monks wearing armor, carrying spears, who were sitting around a table and sipping tea leisurely.
"But if you have any instructions, everyone in the Sheshen Academy will certainly be willing to lend a hand."
Xunzi stood up and bowed to everyone present.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you tomorrow."
Fu Haishan, the Demon Blade of the Thousand Demon Hall, also saluted him.
Tomorrow will be a crucial battle between the ten heroes to decide the winner. From ancient times to now, no one has been able to defend the Stone City Fortress of the Seven City Fortresses. They couldn't do it before, they can't do it today, and they will never be able to do it in the future!
"Of course. Since you are willing to trust our Sheshenyuan, we will do our best. But Xun must make an agreement before accepting this task."
"But there's no harm in talking."
Fu Haishan spoke.
"Everyone, tomorrow, no matter whether it is my order or the orders of my fellow junior brothers and sisters, you must obey them. Only in this way can we take on this task. Otherwise, please seek help from others."
With the endorsement of Magic Knife, Xun Zi could speak out without any scruples.
"Of course. If we rush forward like a pile of loose sand, we will die. The opponent is not a small cat or dog. Relying on the advantage of the corridor buff, he can fight with me for 20 to 30 moves."
Shang Xianming of Wanjian Mountain spoke in a stern voice. He could not afford to lose face like this. If he really failed to capture Shichengzhai, he was afraid that he would not have the face to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in this life.
"Well, if any of you are unwilling to accept the orders of my Self-Sacrifice Academy, just leave now. I have also watched the entire battle today, but I watched it more carefully than you all. Even if I use all my skills now, I dare not say that I can suppress the meticulous and impeccable woman in the enchanting bamboo hat on the opposite side in terms of command."
"Xun can only say that I have done my best. At least in terms of command, I can still fight her on equal terms. We still have some advantages in numbers. Xun can use this to attack her weaknesses, but you still need to make more preparations for those three ferocious beasts."
Xun Zi didn't dare to say too much. With the support of the Self-Sacrificing Academy, the offense and defense of both sides must have been raised to the same level. Although the long-range firepower on his side would be a bit fiercer, in his opinion, the other side was fully capable of dealing with it.
If the pincer attack from the three beasts cannot be broken, no matter how many cultivators on the opposite side are lured and killed, there is no way he can break through this corridor.
"Of course, everyone. Tomorrow I will fight to the death with Sheng Jiabai. If you are willing to help me, I, Demon Blade Fu Haishan, will be grateful and will remember it in my heart."
Fu Haishan stood up and bowed to everyone present.
"We are naturally willing to help with all our strength."
Everyone stood up at the same time and saluted Fu Haishan in return.
"Morale is good." Xun Zi's heart was surging. Looking at everyone who had regained their fighting spirit, he felt relieved.
With the determination shown by the Demon Sword Fu Haishan, everyone knew clearly that tomorrow would be the final battle. If they really failed to capture it, their reputation would probably be lost in the Seven Cities for the rest of their lives, becoming the topic of conversation among the monks after dinner. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
The Ten Heroes can't afford to lose this person.
I can't afford to lose face with this person!
