Chapter 1624 Stronger Calculation
The common detection method of spiritual consciousness is basically to cover from the air downwards. Therefore, in order to minimize exposure of himself, Li Yan kept flying close to the ground.
During Mu Guyue's exploration a few days ago, he also communicated carefully with the guards on the beacon towers on both sides, and gained a better understanding of this place.
Here, it is difficult for monks of the combined realm from both sides to appear, and in hundreds, or even thousands of years, powerful people of their level may take action only once.
Moreover, once they fight, they are afraid that it will affect their own disciples, and they will only fight deep into the ninth level and above.
Even then, every time it hits, the sky will collapse and more space cracks will appear.
The Void Refining monks here are the strongest people who appear every day. They are often the commanders or generals of the armies of both sides.
However, these people are usually noticed by the strong opponents, and it is difficult for them to be exposed outside for a long time.
As for the level of Transformation God, it is only equivalent to the level of Wei Zhongran and Elder Chi Gong during the battle with the demons in the Desolate Moon Continent. They are neither high nor low.
Here, the cultivator of the God Transformation can only hold official positions such as captain and corps leader. His main job is to lead people at the forefront and fight for a long time.
The Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators here are the real main force in this large-scale battle.
Their combat power is also pretty good. There are many Nascent Soul cultivators, even without the help of magic weapons, it is possible to fight against the cultivators in the early stage of transformation, and they may not even be at a disadvantage.
As for the number of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators, for a Sect like Moji Dao Sect, it must be second only to the huge army of Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation cultivators.
With so many Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators appearing, the God Transformation cultivators would die even if they were surrounded, while the Void Refining cultivators also did not dare to be too confident.
In a frontier place like the Beacon Tower, under normal circumstances, there would be no strong people above the Void Refining Realm. It would be like stabbing mosquitoes with a spear, not having much meat, and having to expend a lot of effort on your own, which is not worth it.
Since it is the frontline observation beacon, it is the front line of the confrontation between the two sides. If you use the Void Refining Monk, others will appear, and in the end it will become a battlefield of blood and flesh.
But now the real confrontation is in the north. The number of monks on both sides is not enough to support such a long-term war between the two sides. Therefore, the beacon tower is the beacon tower, and both sides understand it tacitly.
The appearance of the sarcoma man today made Mu Guyue and Li Yan immediately guess that behind the sarcoma man, there were also other strong men from the Mocha Palace ambushing him, and those few people were here to explore the truth.
After discussing with the four Nascent Souls, Mu Guyue and the two felt that the other party would launch an attack in the next few days, and tonight might be the best time for the other party.
But Mu Guyue did the opposite. She didn't think that Beacon Tower must be defended and passively beaten. That was not her style.
She also decided to attack the opponent immediately tonight, which would catch the opponent off guard. The opponent was a large army, and she would not have expected them to be so bold.
It was Mu Guyue's decision that made the four Nascent Soul cultivators suddenly break into a cold sweat.
They thought their vice-captain was crazy. Could it be that the demons were so warlike?
But then, Mu Guyue revealed his plan, and the four Nascent Souls understood what Mu Guyue meant, but they still felt it was too risky.
This plan is like walking on a cliff. If they make a mistake, their newly arrived team may become a joke to the other party and themselves.
Just a few days after arriving, there will be a situation where people are killed and the beacon tower is lost.
But Mu Guyue didn't discuss it with these four people, she just let them know and cooperate with this matter. This made the four Nascent Soul cultivators feel that when working under Mu Guyue, they could only obey.
Occasionally, Mu Guyue's eyes would look sideways at them, and there would be a cold chill in her eyes. It meant that if she didn't follow a word, she would immediately
He looked like he was about to kill someone.
After the matter was decided, it became a question of how to implement the plan, and the four Yuanying monks had no right to decide. With a look of worry, the four of them were invited out.
In the house, after Li Yan and Mu Guyue studied the plan, Li Yan finally decided that he would go out by himself while leaving all of them behind to focus on defense.
Li Yan is still somewhat confident about sneak attacks, but here at Fang Beacon Tower, he is also facing ghost cultivators who have been fighting for a long time, and they are also experienced.
As Li Yan's cultivation improves, his way of doing things will also be relatively direct and simple. As a result, the number of powerful people he may have to face will become more and more powerful.
Regarding his suggestion, Mu Guyue only thought about it for a moment before agreeing. She acted very decisively and did not let Li Yan explain too much.
Mu Guyue certainly knew that Li Yan's combat power was stronger than hers, but this was not the main thing. It was what Li Yan was best at, which was sneak attacks and assassinations.
At this point, she now understands more and more that her own concealment methods are not even a bit different from Li Yan's, and they are definitely not on the same level.
But she still asked Li Yan to take the four Nascent Souls out together, but she was immediately rejected by Li Yan.
Li Yan bluntly said that it would be safer if he sneaked there alone, and he didn't want to be distracted by taking care of those people.
Mu Guyue immediately stopped discussing the matter, and went over the plan carefully with Li Yan several times. She is bold, but not blindly crazy.
Until she felt that the whole plan should be correct, she gave Li Yan a few more instructions and let him leave.
Although she knew that Li Yan's trip was very dangerous, she still did not give him another instruction before he left. This was too normal for the Black Demon Clan.
As long as you are in the army, you must be prepared to fall at any time. Mu Guyue has long been accustomed to it.
Moreover, what she likes most is Li Yan's confident look, which is an attitude of calmness when facing a heavy mountain collapse.
She stayed here to play her strengths, mainly to firmly guard the beacon tower. She is also good at defensive battles.
Moreover, here, there is also a formation to help protect. This formation is to connect many beacon towers into a large formation.
After receiving the alarm, once several beacon towers are activated at the same time, even under the attack of the refining cultivators, they cannot break through to the rear for the time being.
With her presiding here, if the other side has a refining cultivator, they should be able to hold on until the rear army gets the alarm and rushes here.
However, after Li Yan left, all the pressure fell on Mu Guyue alone. Because they were too few in number, they could not achieve a certain balance...
In the Gobi Desert at night, the wind blew thick black, but it seemed to be getting thicker and thicker. For Li Yan, he had long been accustomed to this kind of stealth.
And every time at this time, Li Yan would feel like walking alone on the edge of a knife, which made him not afraid at all, but faintly excited.
During the stealth, Li Yan did not encounter any unexpected situations, but was very smooth...
This is a poplar forest in the Gobi Desert, about 7,000 miles away from the Fang Beacon Tower. If Li Yan really uses his cultivation, he can rush back in almost an instant.
This location is an area that Mu Guyue and his team explored a few days ago. It is only more than 16,000 miles away from a garrison in front of the Mosha Palace.
If the opponent wants to attack the South Fang Beacon Tower, then the fastest route must pass through here, otherwise it will have to be bypassed.
In Mu Guyue's plan, it was not to rush to the enemy's army, but to quietly approach the enemy and set up an ambush on the enemy's possible attack route.
If the time and opportunity were all right, they would sneak attack the other side's cultivators in the God Transformation Realm and cause the greatest damage to the other side as possible.
Of course, a plan is a plan. If the other side changes the route and has to go around.
Then Mu Guyue, who stayed behind, would still be attacked, and Li Yan would have to rush back as soon as possible to attack the enemy from behind.
More than 7,000 miles away, Li Yan's full-scale escape and attack was only a short time, which could also catch the enemy off guard. This was a chain of tactics.
Under the night, the poplar forest was very dense, and the leaves of the poplar trees here were dark black, more like syringes inserted on the branches.
The dense forest extended to the north and south, forming a dense forest sea. Under the night, it was like a huge and boundless shadow on a large area of ground.
In the dense forest, there was an invisible shadow standing under a tree. It was Li Yan who took off his green armor and wore a black robe.
"This is the center of the forest. We can take care of both sides and the front and back. It is also within the straight-line distance of the Mosha Palace garrison and the Fangs Beacon Tower.
If they go around, I can also sense both sides, and then I may even have a chance to rush over and ambush them again!"
Li Yan looked up at the sky, feeling the biting cold wind here, and silently estimated various possibilities in his heart.
They have been here for a few days. Li Yan calculated that it should be two hours before dawn. The dawn here is late, and the night is long and the day is short.
Li Yan's figure has long disappeared, but he is actually standing in front of a tree. The whole poplar forest is making all kinds of creepy and strange howling sounds in the cold wind.
There were whistles in the wind, some big, some small, some sharp, some rough. The branches and leaves swayed, and the trees were like ghosts dancing wildly in the dark night...
In a large camp connected to the border, although it was not bright, in a military tent made of tough monster skin, there was a cold light shining inside.
On the top of the military tent, a huge bead the size of an adult's head continued to emit light, which made the whole military tent bright.
In the military tent, eight or nine people had gathered at this time. At the top of the middle, sat a middle-aged man in a green robe.
This man was tall and thin, his face was pale, and he wore a scholar's scarf. He sat there like a terminally ill consumptive ghost.
At this time, his two palms were placed on the armrests. The protruding blue veins on the back of his hands were more like small green snakes, winding and hideous, and his long nails emitted a faint light.
He looked at the squad leaders in the God Transformation Realm below, listening to their narration. These people were just a few of his many squad leaders.
After they came back from gathering intelligence on the enemy today, they came to him despite the late hour.
The sickly man in the green robe leaned his head on the high back of the chair, slightly closed his eyes, and listened to their report quietly.
After half a cup of tea, everyone had finished speaking. After a little thought, the man asked a few more details.
Then, he tapped one of his fingers on the armrest, and when his long nails hit the armrest, a "thump thump thump..." sound was made.
All the corps commanders below were silent and stood with their hands hanging down. Among the corps commanders here was the burly man.
At this moment, he was standing there honestly, no longer as arrogant as before.
After dozens of breaths, the thumping sound suddenly stopped, and the consumptive man in green robe opened his slightly closed eyes, and glanced at everyone with a sinister gaze.
"Beacon Tower changed its defense, and after you took the initiative to provoke, the other party was still unmoved. Your numbers
Despite the scarcity, they were still not chased out.
Then the monks guarding this beacon tower are very experienced. It is very likely that they took a rest elsewhere and then changed their defenses.
Even if not, then there should be someone in this team who knows the scouts very well. If the other party is really a veteran, maybe he will..."
After drinking half a cup of tea, the consumptive man in green robe waved his hand.
"Let's set off in half a quarter of an hour!"
All the corps commanders immediately saluted the consumptive man in green robes after receiving the hit.
"Respect your Lord's order!"
After these people finished speaking, they turned around and walked out, moving very quickly.
After these people left, the sick man in green robe leaned his head on the back of the high chair again.
He is the deputy commander of a scout battalion in the army, in charge of five hundred people, and there are four scout battalions in this army.
In his scout camp, there are four people including his deputy commander, two commanders and one chief commander.
"Since there are new people here, we can see if we can take advantage of the opportunity to break through and stir up the opponent's army..."
The sick man in green robe whispered, and then let out a jeering laugh.
…………
In the blue sky and earth, over the large poplar forest, there was suddenly a burst of gray clouds, blown from the sky by a strong wind, and then blown away again.
And when this gray cloud was blown to a place in the strong wind, there was a faint light that was darker than the night, from bottom to top, and suddenly hit the gray cloud in the sky.
"Bang bang bang..."
That ray of light was extremely fast, but when it hit the gray cloud, it did not pass through it. Instead, it made a series of dull sounds, as if it continued to penetrate something.
Then, several muffled sounds came from the dark clouds!
At the same time, a black shadow flew out from the forest below, and Li Yan, dressed in black robe, turned into an afterimage and rose into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, a flying sword about a foot long appeared in his hand. With a flash of golden light, the flying sword pierced towards the spot where Li Yan had just sensed the strongest aura in the gray cloud.
With his other hand, he also waved his long sleeve, and a talisman with a sizzling sound turned into a snake-shaped lightning. With a swing of its tail, it struck the gray cloud in an instant.
"Stab it!"
As soon as the electric arc penetrated, the gray cloud was suddenly blasted into a wild flow, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling came from inside. The Mosha Temple practices the art of cold and cold ghost cultivation, and is most afraid of things that are extremely yang.
Li Yan's first strike determined the position of the strong man in the gray cloud. He didn't give the opponent any time to breathe, and successive attacks came like a shadow.
"snort!"
Just when Li Yan attacked with both hands and struck instantly, the gray cloud suddenly surged and dispersed.
Then, more than twenty people appeared inside, and each of these people exuded a cold aura.
At this time, the leader was a middle-aged man, wearing a green robe and looking like a sick man. It was this man who made the cold snort just now.
However, in his hand at this moment, he was holding a struggling snake-shaped lightning bolt, and the power of the lightning talisman's attack was contained by rolling up his other sleeve.
The other flying sword that Li Yan offered was also blocked by the protective light shield outside the green-robed man. Amidst the dazzling golden light, the sword was hanging in the air, still trying desperately to penetrate.
Those dazzling swaths of golden light dyed the surrounding gray clouds into layers of gold, but it was impossible to move forward at all.
Once the two sides started to take action, their cultivation levels were no longer concealed. At this moment, Li Yan finally sensed the powerful aura erupting from the sickly man in green robe, and his expression suddenly changed.
