Chapter 4120 Crisis
Originally, the forces of all parties fought in formation, and the monks could still cover and take care of each other, and the casualties were very limited, basically in the single digit.
But once the melee began, the situation could not be controlled, the number of casualties rose sharply, and all parties suffered greater casualties.
This situation is actually very unfavorable to the Taoist side.
The number of Taoist Golden Immortals is at an absolute disadvantage, and the overall strength is not superior.
In the melee, the scene of Taoist Golden Immortals being besieged often appeared.
Although Qiongqi Demon Saint and the Ancient Great Light Buddha had already besieged Meng Zhang, there were many strong men who were slightly weaker than them in the demon team and the Buddha team.
Even a strong man who was in the perfect Golden Immortal realm like Ziji Immortal Emperor could hardly gain a clear advantage in the melee.
Because Golden Immortals like him were the focus of the enemy's attention, they were besieged by many powerful enemies early on.
This is not over yet.
Soon after the melee began, another team of demon saints and Buddhas rushed to the battlefield from the direction of Langya Pavilion.
Originally, the invaders left enough strong men to keep an eye on Langya Pavilion and set up an ambush outside Langya Pavilion.
If the Golden Immortals stationed in Langya Pavilion found that reinforcements had arrived, they would take advantage of the situation to rush out and join forces with the reinforcements. The invaders ambushed outside would just take advantage of the situation and surround them all.
As long as the Golden Immortals stationed in Langya Pavilion were eliminated, Langya Pavilion would no longer be able to stop the invaders' attacks.
The Golden Immortals stationed in Langya Pavilion were not fooled. No matter how the enemy tempted them, they always held their ground.
Langya Pavilion could always communicate with the outside world.
The news that Meng Zhang led the Golden Immortal team to counterattack and fight against the invaders had long been passed to Langya Pavilion.
But the Golden Immortals stationed in Langya Pavilion remained unmoved and had no intention of leaving Langya Pavilion.
It was this extremely cautious and extremely conservative attitude that allowed the Golden Immortals stationed in Langya Pavilion to avoid many traps and persist until now.
Of course, this also made it impossible for them to cooperate with the Golden Immortals who came to reinforce from outside, and they were powerless to the battle situation outside.
Since the Golden Immortals stationed in Langya Pavilion did not fall for it and continued to defend it, there was no need for the invaders to continue wasting their energy waiting here.
Especially the battle in front was not very smooth.
Since the war began, the invaders did not gain much advantage, but the casualties were increasing.
Not long after, in addition to leaving a few strong men to continue to monitor the movements of Langya Pavilion, the invaders pulled out all the strong men used for ambush and asked them to rush to reinforce the front line as quickly as possible.
The number of this team of new forces was less than 30, but after they joined the battlefield, they added extremely strong pressure to the Taoist side, almost becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The number of casualties on the Taoist side rose sharply, and Golden Immortals fell from time to time.
No matter how high the level of the Golden Immortals was, no matter how many means of survival they had, they were really powerless in the face of so many powerful enemies.
Fortunately, the Golden Immortals were also inspired to be bloody, and even in the face of extremely unfavorable situations, they did not escape from the battlefield.
The continuous death of their companions aroused their anger and madness.
Even the Golden Immortals who had a casual relationship with each other or even did not get along with each other on weekdays became the best comrades-in-arms at this time, desperately killing the enemy.
In this battle that concerns the life and death of the Taoist sect, no Golden Immortal will retreat, but will fight to the death and move forward desperately.
Maybe some Golden Immortals were indeed stunned by the death of their companions, but they knew in their hearts that if they escaped from the battlefield at this moment, they would never be able to raise their heads in the future inside and outside the Taoist sect.
Beings like Golden Immortals may not care about worldly reputations or other people's opinions, but they must never go against their own hearts.
Which cultivator who can achieve Golden Immortal is not a person with a firm heart and unyielding spirit?
They must agree with the philosophy of Taoism in order to study the classics of Taoism in depth and gain enough insights from them for their own practice.
It is the duty of almost every Golden Immortal to protect the interests of Taoism and defend Taoism.
In the melee, when the result of the fall cannot be reversed, the Golden Immortals will fight to the death and try to drag others down with them.
Almost every Golden Immortal who falls will be buried with the same number or even more enemies.
Again, the number of Golden Immortals is much less than that of the enemy.
The Taoist Golden Immortals cannot afford to lose money, unlike the enemy who can withstand consumption.
The battle has long entered a white-hot stage, and the cultivators of the warring parties have almost become extremely fanatical, with the idea of crazy killing in their hearts.
In the shadows, several Dharma Lords of the Last Law are looming.
These Lords of the Last Law secretly cooperated with the invaders and used various means to plot against the Taoist Golden Immortal.
The Lords of the Last Law are the public enemies of the void.
Logically speaking, when these Lords of the Last Law appear, the Void cultivators present should work together to encircle and suppress them.
But the invaders seemed to be blind and turned a blind eye to these Lords of the Last Law.
Although the Taoist Golden Immortal had long been at a disadvantage, their resistance was extremely resolute, causing them huge losses.
These Lords of the Last Law targeted the Taoist Golden Immortal, but in fact they were helping them.
With these Lords of the Last Law, their casualties can be effectively reduced and the defeat of the Taoist Golden Immortal can be accelerated.
The current behavior of these invaders is equivalent to passively joining forces with the Lords of the Last Law.
In order to win the final victory, they no longer care about the opinions of others.
Once the news spreads, not to mention the cultivators of other cultivation systems, it is estimated that there will be many cultivators in their own cultivation system who will criticize and blame them.
In fact, before this war started, there were many hidden peepers around.
These peepers did not belong to the warring parties. They came here to pay attention to the war situation, obtain the latest situation, and evaluate what the cultivation system behind them should do next...
They had already seen that the invaders were helped by the Lord of the Last Law.
Some people with hot tempers would have run over to attack those Lords of the Last Law if they were not stopped by their companions.
The Lord of the Last Law has attracted too much hatred in the void and is too hated.
Many spectators wanted to fly over and kill these Lords of the Last Law immediately.
However, they were not blinded by anger.
They knew in their hearts that if they ran over to attack the Lord of the Last Law at this time, they would definitely be involved in this war.
If things go wrong, those demon saints and Buddhas will attack them.
Considering the standpoint of the cultivation system behind them, they had no choice but to suppress their hatred.
The main gods who participated in the battle were a bit bullying at first, and they didn't dare to fight the Golden Immortals head-on.
After the melee began, they were affected by the surrounding atmosphere and became crazy and bloodthirsty, with fewer scruples.
Especially after the invaders gained an absolute advantage, these main gods even put on a look of wanting to kill all the Golden Immortals.
Meng Zhang, who was fighting with Qiongqi Demon Saint and others in the distance, had been paying attention to the battle here.
He saw the situation of the Taoist Golden Immortals.
He sighed in his heart, the worst situation still happened.
After this battle, regardless of the victory or defeat, the Taoist Golden Immortals will suffer heavy casualties and great damage to their vitality.
Judging from the current situation in the field, if there is no accident, the Taoist Golden Immortals will inevitably end up defeated.
Meng Zhang is the only one among the Golden Immortals who has the ability to change this outcome.
As the leader elected by these Golden Immortals, he led them here to participate in the war, so he had the responsibility to lead them to victory and try to save their lives.
For this, he paid a huge price.
The death of a large number of Taoist Golden Immortals, Demon Saints, Buddhist Buddhas and Shinto Lords not only made the surrounding environment worse, but also an unspeakable change occurred in secret.
Meng Zhang, who had been tested by the power of the Taoist Lord, was extremely sensitive and had a vague sense of this secret change.
This was also one of the main reasons why he did not explode immediately.
He wanted to retain more power to deal with some unexpected changes.
However, the war situation in the distance deteriorated rapidly, and the speed of deterioration even exceeded his expectations.
He had no time to wait any longer.
When he saw a Golden Immortal dragging a Dharma Lord to his back before his death and perishing with him, Meng Zhang knew that he had to take action.
Qiongqi Demon Saint and the Ancient Great Light Buddha turned a blind eye to the huge losses on their side.
For them, as long as they can defeat the Golden Immortal team in front of them, they can win against the Taoist sect.
For the final victory, these casualties are bearable.
After fighting with Meng Zhang for so long, they have to admit that Meng Zhang is the most difficult enemy they have ever seen.
They are all top masters in their respective cultivation systems, but there is still a big gap when facing Meng Zhang.
If they were fighting alone, they might have been defeated long ago.
Fortunately, this is a battle between two armies. In order to win, they will do everything they can. It is nothing to use the majority to defeat the minority.
Qiongqi Demon Saint and the Ancient Great Light Buddha bear the main attack power of Meng Zhang head-on and fight him head-on.
The main god of war cooperates from the side, and from time to time he gives Meng Zhang a hard blow, which plays a great role in restraining him.
The three of them joined forces, not to say that they cooperated seamlessly, but they had at least tacit understanding, and they could give full play to their respective combat effectiveness.
Meng Zhang and the three of them fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell.
Judging from the situation on the field, Meng Zhang seemed to have no chance of winning.
Before fighting with Meng Zhang, Qiongqi Demon Saint and Ancient Great Light Buddha thought they could suppress or even kill Meng Zhang.
After the real fight, they personally experienced Meng Zhang's powerful strength and gave up some unrealistic ideas.
They didn't need to be able to defeat Meng Zhang, they just needed to entangle him tightly so that he couldn't interfere with the war over there.
After the coalition of the three forces completely defeated the Taoist team, there were enough demon saints, Buddhas and main gods to come and besiege Meng Zhang together.
At that time, no matter how strong Meng Zhang was, he couldn't withstand the siege of so many strong men of the same level, and he could only end up in regret and defeat.
Meng Zhang had long seen through their thoughts and naturally would not let them succeed.
He echoed the deep source of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and borrowed the incomparably strong power of the Great Dao.
Qiongqi Demon Saint and the Ancient Great Light Buddha suddenly felt that their movements seemed to slow down unconsciously, and Meng Zhang in front of them turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
They wanted to stop Meng Zhang, but they were a beat slower.
In fact, it was not that their movements slowed down, but that Meng Zhang mobilized the power of the Avenue of Time to speed up the flow of time around his body.
When strong men of their level fight, everyone is very cautious and dare not be careless.
Perhaps a moment of negligence will allow the opponent to take advantage of the opportunity to show his power and decide the outcome.
Meng Zhang used the power of the Great Dao of Time to temporarily escape from the entanglement of the Qiongqi Demon Saint and the Ancient Great Light Buddha.
When his figure appeared again, he was not far in front of the War Mad Lord God.
Meng Zhang's light fell from the sky, urging the power of the Great Dao of Tai Chi to blast towards the War Mad Lord God.
In the previous battle, Meng Zhang showed his profound attainments in the Great Dao of Time and killed the enemy's main god.
Qiongqi Demon Saint and the Ancient Great Light Buddha were on guard against such methods of Meng Zhang.
However, they always remembered that Meng Zhang's main cultivation path was the Great Dao of Tai Chi as recorded in the intelligence.
It is generally impossible for a Golden Immortal of Meng Zhang's level to change the main cultivation path.
Therefore, they believed that Meng Zhang's attainments in the Great Dao of Time were limited, and they were mainly on guard against Meng Zhang's methods in the Great Dao of Tai Chi.
In the subsequent battles, Meng Zhang constantly used and transformed the power of various great ways of heaven and earth.
It seemed that he had great magical powers and amazing power, but for the two of them, the threat was actually very limited.
This made them further feel that the various powers of the great ways of heaven and earth used by Meng Zhang were flashy and fancy means.
Such means may not be a big problem when used against other people, and will make people dazzled and panic involuntarily.
However, when used against Qiongqi Demon Saint and the Ancient Great Light Buddha, it would at most add a little trouble to them and make them tired of dealing with it, but it would definitely not have a decisive effect.
The Great Way of Time is a rare and profound great way. There are very few people who practice it, and even fewer who can achieve something in it.
Meng Zhang's opponents underestimated his attainments in the Great Way of Time, and also underestimated the role of this great way in actual combat.
Meng Zhang used the power of the Great Way of Time to temporarily get rid of the entanglement of Qiongqi Demon Saint and the Ancient Great Light Buddha, and was able to deal with the War Mad Lord God with all his strength.
He knew that his time was extremely limited, and he even had only one chance to attack.
Originally, Meng Zhang used the immortal magic power Liangyi Tongtian Sword, relying on his superb sword skills, to temporarily resist the main god Zhan Kuang.
The main god Zhan Kuang was intimidated by the lethality shown by Meng Zhang, and was unwilling to fight him head-on, so he had been holding back, mainly fighting from the side to contain the opponent.
Now, he suddenly faced Meng Zhang directly, which caught him off guard.
The scene of Meng Zhang wantonly killing the main gods in his team appeared in his mind involuntarily.
It was not easy for him to contain Meng Zhang from the side, let alone fight Meng Zhang head-on.
He instinctively felt that the situation was not good and reacted immediately.
