Chapter 125: Leading by the Nose
The Qin family's peak guarding team rushed to the edge of the battlefield, took a look from a distance, and then hurriedly retreated. It was not that they were timid, but there was a big difference in numbers.
There were more than a dozen of them here. Originally, as long as they could connect with the assault team, they would have the strength to fight, and even counterattack.
But the assault team died too quickly. When they arrived at the place, there were only a few people left in their own assault team. In this case, even if they forced their way up, there would be no good results. Choosing to retreat was the best strategy.
The more than 30 people from Qingyu Mountain did not rush to chase and kill, but dispersed and surrounded the members of the Qin family's assault team.
These people formed a circle at this moment, back to back, extremely desperate.
But no one begged for mercy, because everyone knew that begging for mercy was useless. The opposing camps and the hatred over the years would only make the enemy laugh at begging for mercy.
"Kill!" There was still a fifth-level realm who survived, but he was seriously injured. He shouted and led the remaining tribesmen to rush in one direction.
Faced with such a desperate enemy, no one would be stupid enough to fight them head-on. It would be the worst to be dragged along and buried with them.
What greeted them was a series of magic.
After reaching the fifth level, cultivators can basically determine their own faction. At the fourth level, they are already preparing for the future. Therefore, if cultivators at this level want to follow the path of magic cultivation, many have already begun to study magic.
However, because their cultivation is still low and they are not proficient in casting spells, it is difficult for them to cast a complete magic in a fierce battle. But before the Qin family members made any move, they were already preparing to cast spells, and they just cast them at this moment.
There were less than ten magics, colorful lights, and all kinds of attributes. Among them, a fat firebird was the most conspicuous.
When the magic fell, several Qin family cultivators died on the spot, leaving only the fifth level. This guy, covered in wounds, threw himself in front of a casual cultivator recruited by Qingyu Mountain. He couldn't even activate his protective spiritual power. The man laughed loudly and said, "I deserve to be rich." He stabbed the fifth-level cultivator with a gun.
Several people nearby looked at this guy with envy, mainly because this guy was only at the third level. Killing a fifth-level cultivator gave him 15 points of merit. Counting the reward from Qingyu Mountain, this shot earned him 40 spiritual stones!
For casual cultivators, 40 spiritual stones is a huge fortune. When the cultivation is not high, it is enough for two or three months of cultivation.
"Still have strength?" Xie Jin turned his head to look at Lu Ye beside him. Lu Ye wiped the blood off the knife on a corpse at his feet and nodded silently.
He looked at the other people in the hunting team again.
Song Xie coughed so hard that he felt like he was about to die. He gasped and said, "No, I still have the strength to kill people!"
Tao Tiangang naturally followed his senior brother's lead. Qiao Qiaoer snorted, "You guys can do it, and I, a woman, can do it too!"
I don't know what logic this is.
Xie Jin smiled, "Since we still have the strength, let's chase!"
The battle will naturally not end so easily. For the people of Qingyu Mountain, the battle has just begun.
The five people each called their own mounts. Xie Jin winked at a fifth-level cultivator in his family, and led Lu Ye and the other four to rush to the opposite mountain.
Immediately afterwards, the fifth-level cultivator led the members of his own assault team to catch up quickly.
The situation has changed. Just now, the Qin family attacked Qingyu Mountain, and now it is Qingyu Mountain's turn to fight back.
The monks were still very fast. Lu Ye and others chased them to the middle of the mountain before they saw the figures of Qin's disciples in front of them. When they heard the movement behind them, the Qin people looked back and were all shocked. The scene was a little chaotic.
The fifth-level realm leader immediately roared: "Don't panic, form a formation, there are only five of them, they are the hunting team of Qingyu Mountain."
It must be said that his response was not wrong. If they were scattered at this time, it would only give Lu Ye and others the opportunity to defeat them one by one. The mobility of the hunting team is undoubtedly stronger than them.
However, Xie Jin had no intention of rushing up. He reined in his mount from dozens of feet away and just looked at the fifth-level realm leader from a distance.
The four looked at each other, and the fifth-level realm felt a jolt in his heart, and he roughly understood Xie Jin's plan.
The hunting team was obviously delaying them. There was also a siege team from Qingyu Mountain behind them. If they stayed here and didn't leave, they would be unable to leave even if they wanted to when the siege team from Qingyu Mountain came over.
"Retreat slowly!"
The fifth-level realm cultivator shouted loudly at this thought.
The peak guarding team retreated in an orderly manner.
As soon as there was a move here, Xie Jin led Lu Ye and others to charge over there.
"Hold steady!" The fifth-level realm cultivator shouted loudly again, and the Qin family immediately set up a battle formation. Unexpectedly, the five people and five horses from Qingyu Mountain circled thirty feet away and disappeared in a flash.
When they were ready to retreat, the five people and five horses appeared again and watched from afar.
This happened five times, and the Qin family was tossed around. The face of the fifth-level cultivator was as black as the bottom of a pot. He cursed Xie Jin in his heart. It was not pleasant to be led by the nose by the enemy.
Luckily, just now, he had received a message that the peak guarding team left on the top of the peak also came down to support them. As long as they could join them, it would be no problem to block Qingyu Mountain's attack.
Just hold on and wait for help! He made up his mind.
However, the message that came right after made his heart sink to the bottom.
Because the assault team of Qingyu Mountain did not kill them, but bypassed them and went straight to the top of the mountain!
They were also the peak guarding team, but they received the order to support their own assault team. Unfortunately, they retreated without being able to help.
In other words, the peak guarding team of this mountain was divided into two parts, one part was them, and the other part was on the way to support them. There were more than a dozen people in each part, with a total of about thirty.
And the assault team of Qingyu Mountain went straight to that part!
The three forces all had the ninth level to monitor the shadow moon plate, so the movements of the cultivators of each family could not be hidden from others, but through the transmission of messages, there must be a little time delay.
It is precisely for this reason that the casualties of the cultivators of the three families during the Longquan meeting were under control. When the situation was not good, Tang Wu and his team would make certain adjustments and would not easily let their own cultivators die.
But the previous battle was the first time that it was beyond the control of the ninth-level cultivators. Qin Wanli, who was sitting in the Shadow Moon Plate, had never expected that four of his own hunting team would die so quickly, so when he ordered the assault team to retreat, it was too late.
One wrong move, every step is wrong.
At this moment, the assault team of Qingyu Mountain went straight to the top of the mountain. There were less than 30 people, while there were only a dozen on their side. The number difference was huge. If a confrontation occurred, the Qin family would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
"Where are those guys?" Qin's fifth-level cultivator looked around, but could no longer see the figures of Xie Jin and others.
A cousin next to him said weakly: "They haven't appeared yet."
"Oh no!" The fifth-level cultivator suddenly realized something and wondered if the five people had also gone to attack another part of the peak guard team. If so, the situation would be very bad, "Hurry up!"
At the same time, a message was sent out to inquire about the movements of the five people.
In just five breaths, he got a reply: "It's above you!"
Just after checking this information, he heard the sound of the monster galloping beside him. He looked up and saw the five people and five horses from Qingyu Mountain rushing towards this side with the momentum of rushing down!
"Raise the talisman, be sure to block it!" he roared.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, in an instant, seven or eight talismans were activated and hit upwards, and the power of the talismans bloomed one after another, with fierce power.
However, Lu Ye and others had been prepared, so they had scattered at the moment when the other party raised the talisman, and relied on the swiftness of their mounts to avoid the attacks of the talismans.
After a round of talismans, except for Song Xie who was unlucky and was blown off, the other four were safe, but Song Xie also got up immediately, and it seemed that he was not seriously injured.
"Come again!" With the shout of the fifth-level cultivator, another round of talismans was cast.
However, this attack was even less effective than before, because Lu Ye and others had already relied on trees to block it.
When the second wave of talisman attacks stopped, Lu Ye and others emerged one after another, and the fluctuations of spiritual power came from them. Each of them held a talisman in his hand.
The talisman was provided by Xie Jin. It must be said that Qingyu Mountain is very generous in terms of material supply.
Five talismans were activated, and fire snakes, wind blades, and ice spikes were thrown at the Qin cultivators. Qiao Qiaoer activated a golden wheel talisman. There was a golden disc the size of a basin in front of her, and she aimed at the Qin side and bombarded it wildly, laughing madly.
Although the Qin cultivators dodged, they had no mounts, so their mobility was naturally not as good as Lu Ye and others. After a round of talismans, more than a dozen people died on the spot, and several were injured.
The chaotic situation unfolded, and before the Qin side had time to catch their breath, the sound of the monster galloping came out again. The fifth-level realm leader looked up and saw that it was Lu Ye and others rushing down.
At this time, the originally tight formation was in disarray, and it was impossible to organize it in a hurry. Facing this charge formed by the terrain, the Qin family was really unable to resist.
When the figures passed each other, Lu Ye raised his knife and a huge head flew up. The tip of Song Xie's giant scorpion's tail stabbed a figure, screaming continuously. Qiao Qiaoer's long whip wrapped around a cultivator and dragged him to the ground, but he was quickly freed.
Xie Jin and Tao Tiangang did not make any gains, but the former blocked the opponent's fifth-level cultivator, and the latter also tied up some of the opponent's energy and attention.
Five people and five horses rushed out more than ten feet, and under the leadership of Xie Jin, they circled around and returned to the top of Qin's disciples in a moment, and the second round of charge began.
