Chapter 197: Escape
In mid-air, the Great Cave Master and Ouji were still fighting hard, but without the bloody battle, the Great Cave Master's pressure suddenly decreased, but he could not escape for a while under Ouji's well-planned offensive.
Under the control of the Second Cave Master, the Qingliu Huanzhuan formation on the Biluo Cave Square resisted the fierce attacks from the Dawn Breaking Alliance. At the same time, all the disciples were alert to prevent the other party from using the teleportation array to launch a sneak attack.
For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate.
The disciples of the Biluo Cave side breathed a sigh of relief. After all, such a stable situation is beneficial to their side.
Many people firmly believe that as long as the Great Elder comes out of retreat, everything in front of them will not be a problem.
Yuan Ming stayed around Wuluo, looking around, pretending to be on guard like everyone else, but actually looking for an opportunity to escape.
He didn't think that the Dawn Breaking Alliance would allow such a stalemate. The temporary calm might be brewing a stronger storm.
"You, you, and the two of you, go to the second cave master and be careful!" At this time, Wu Luo's voice sounded, and he pointed out one-third of the people guarding the formation. Yuan Ming was among them.
Yuan Ming followed the others to the center of the square, where the second elder was, and observed the surroundings. People were also sent out to the other seven formation points, and the personnel allocation was constantly adjusted.
Although the situation was unfavorable, the second cave master acted in an orderly manner and was not panicked at all.
…
Qing Liuhuan turned to the center of the formation. Nearly 150 cultivators had gathered around the second cave master, including nearly 10 foundation-building cultivators, protecting him tightly.
The second cave master also whispered a few words to the foundation-building elders from time to time. At this moment, each elder also knew that it was time to fight to the death.
While he was urging the formation, he was anxiously looking forward to the great elder coming out of retreat. He knew that the situation of Biluo Cave was now in danger.
The Great Cave Master and himself were just stopgap measures to delay the enemy's progress. He had heard a little about the style of the Dawn Breaking Alliance. They must have some backup plan to gather so many people to attack the Biluo Cave.
They should have other preparations even for the Great Elder.
At this moment, the Second Cave Master's eyes suddenly flashed slightly, and he immediately shouted to the others around him alertly: "Someone has invaded the magic circle, come quickly."
His external consciousness faintly sensed the enemy's breath.
However, the surrounding guardians were panicked, and when they patrolled left and right, they did not see the figure of the invader.
Yuan Ming stood in the corner of the crowd farthest from the Second Cave Master, looking around, and also did not see anyone invading.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly saw the shadow under the Second Cave Master, the color was obviously different from that of the others around him, and seemed to be darker than others.
Before he could speak, the shadow of the Second Cave Master suddenly twisted, and a blood-colored figure suddenly jumped out of it, attacking with lightning speed, and slammed into the Second Cave Master's chest with one palm.
The cultivators around, including Yuan Ming, would never have expected that the enemy could have the means to reach the Second Cave Master, and they had no time to react.
"Xuezhan!" someone exclaimed.
The Second Cave Master reacted very quickly, and his body was immediately covered by a layer of light. At the same time, he opened his mouth and spit out a green light, which contained a small ruler about an inch high.
The small ruler suddenly became longer and turned into a size of about ten feet. The green light was strong and smashed towards Xuezhan head-on.
At this moment, Xuezhan had a deep scar on his back that could be seen to the bone, which was shocking, but facing the huge ruler that was smashed on his head, he still did not avoid it, and even had a hint of madness in his eyes.
But in the palm of his left palm that was slapping the Second Cave Master, a miniature blood cloud condensed, and a faint group of blazing fire lit up inside.
"Boom"
Then there was a deafening explosion!
A red sun lit up from the center of the formation. The blazing flames expanded under the intense high temperature, and instantly blew everyone in the formation to pieces and scattered.
The second cave master was directly hit, and the protective light on his body was instantly broken. His chest and abdomen were burned by the flames. Not only were his clothes torn, but he also had a shocking wound on his body.
The square monument that he was protecting behind him was also blown up by the powerful impact and fell to the side.
The whole formation was in chaos.
Yuan Ming was far away from the center of the explosion. He was only slightly hit and was overturned to the ground, while the elders and disciples near the second cave master were blown up one by one, with heavy casualties.
He clearly saw every moment of the attack, and even saw that the bloody battle that launched the surprise attack was also smashed by the second cave master's green light giant ruler magic weapon and flew out. He was covered in blood and his left arm was broken. Obviously, he was also seriously injured.
But he took advantage of the situation and turned into a blood shadow and flew out of the formation.
The formation hub was breached, and the entire Qingliu Huanzhuan formation collapsed and turned into dots of green light and dissipated.
The female formation master looked at this scene, her lips curled up, revealing a smile.
All of this was arranged by her, including the suicide attacks of the second-level spirit beasts at the beginning, which were all to distract attention and pave the way for teleporting the bloody battle to the opponent's underground for a sneak attack.
"I'm done." said the female formation master.
"Go!" A Dawn leader next to her gave an order.
The clown youth who had been guarding beside her was the first to respond and rushed towards the Biluo Cave monk who had lost the protection of the formation.
"Brother, be careful." The female formation master shouted loudly, but unfortunately the monk named Xiao Yao had already rushed far away.
The other Dawn monks followed closely, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
The second cave master, who had suffered a serious injury, had a gloomy face. After swallowing several pills, he shouted to everyone: "The formation is broken! Now that things have come to this, do you want to die honorably or become a slave in the mine for life without dignity? You decide for yourself."
He shouted so hard that even Yuan Ming was moved when he heard it.
Some elders and disciples even shed tears.
Seeing that there was no way out, the monks of Biluo Cave slapped the spirit beast bags on their waists, summoned their spirit beasts, took out their own hidden magic tools and talismans, and fought together for the last battle.
On the square, the last tragic melee finally kicked off.
The big cave master in the air in the distance saw the situation here and his eyes were bloodshot. He realized that he had beaten the bloody battle back with a sword before, but the other party did not really retreat, but just took the opportunity to escape and attack the second cave master.
The big cave master was anxious and angry. Just when he was about to come over to support, several black lightnings struck him. It was Ouji's Kuishui Shenlei magic.
The big cave master had no choice but to concentrate on the battle, but was held tightly by Ouji.
After taking the elixir, the second cave master took a deep breath, stood up, and offered a red ring to fight the enemy.
However, just as he activated the ring to knock away two nearby black-clothed men, he suddenly showed a painful expression on his face, "wow" spurted out a large mouthful of black blood, and fell to the ground again. His skin was purple and blue, and his hands and feet twitched unconsciously, as if he had been poisoned by some kind of poison.
The red ring also fell to the ground with a "clang", and the spiritual light on it quickly dissipated.
Seeing that the Second Cave Master was exhausted, and the Great Cave Master was unable to split himself, and the fellow disciples around him kept falling, the morale that the Biluo Cave people had just gathered suddenly disappeared. Whether it was the ordinary disciples of Biluo Cave or the elders in the foundation-building stage, they no longer had the will to fight and fled in all directions.
Not long after, the Second Cave Master, who was lying on the ground, was also controlled by the Dawn Breaker with a magic weapon.
When the Second Cave Master was attacked, Yuan Ming immediately left the crowd, fighting and retreating, and came to the edge of the square leading to the back mountain.
The members of Dawn Breaker had already invaded Biluo Cave in large numbers, blocking all the roads in the front mountain, and only the road to the inside of Biluo Cave was empty.
Yuan Ming didn't think much about it, and his figure flashed a few times and flew there.
"Stop!"
Several members of the Dawn Breaker Alliance rushed over from the side, one of whom was the tall and thin man who had fought with him at the gate of Biluo Cave before.
Yuan Ming immediately used the Wind Speed Speed to speed up and quickly left the few people behind.
Seeing that he could not catch up, the tall and thin man took out the red crossbow that he had used to attack the sect protection formation.
A sharp whistle sounded, and a red arrow flew straight to Yuan Ming's back.
Yuan Ming hurriedly activated the jade belt on his waist, and his figure instantly became blurred, flying several feet to the side.
The red crossbow arrow hit his previous position, making a loud explosion, and a big pit exploded on the ground, with smoke and dust everywhere.
Yuan Ming did not look back, and continued to activate the jade belt, and his figure rushed forward with several afterimages.
When the tall and thin man and others caught up, there was no trace of Yuan Ming.
There were several roads ahead, and it was impossible to tell where Yuan Ming went.
Several people stopped in disappointment and turned to chase other Biluo Cave disciples.
Yuan Ming increased his speed to the extreme, and soon completely got rid of the pursuit of the Dawn Breaking Alliance.
He ran to a hidden place under the Fire Refining Peak and controlled two soul crows to explore the situation outside.
The disciples of Biluo Cave had completely collapsed. For those who chose to surrender, whether they were foundation building elders or Qi refining disciples, the Dawn Alliance did not make things difficult for them. They only confiscated their storage magic tools, put a ring magic tool on their necks, and gathered them in one place for custody.
But those few cultivators who resisted stubbornly naturally had no good end. With their numbers several times greater than theirs, they were almost either dead or seriously injured.
The Dawn Alliance had obviously made detailed preparations for the attack on Biluo Cave. Soon, people were stationed at various checkpoints in Biluo Cave, and the arrangements were watertight.
"At this time, what on earth is Xiying going to do? It's really worrying!"
Yuan Ming hid in a secret corner, restrained his breath, and dared not even breathe. He monitored every move on the battlefield through the Soul Crow, and at the same time anxiously searched for Xiying's whereabouts through the Soul Crow.
In the current chaotic situation, if he uses the Soul Crow to find the loopholes in Dawn's arrangement and then uses the remaining Earth Traveling Talisman to escape, he should have a 90% chance of escaping. However, he doesn't know whether Xiying has finished the important matter, and now he can't contact her.
