Chapter 604 Tonggui Ridge (Part 2)

Even if Li Yan and his team wanted to counterattack, they had to wait until the demon cultivators on both sides engaged the defense points in the rear.

Of course, the other side couldn't all rush to Li Yan at once, because then the cultivators on the sides and rear of Li Yan would rush out immediately, forming another encirclement around the demon cultivators.

It was hard to say who would strangle whom by then.

Obviously, the demon cultivators had fought with the cultivators of Fengliang Mountain for a long time, and they knew that to attack "Tonggui Ridge", they had to attack the defense points on both wings of the rear at the same time, which finally reduced the pressure on Li Yan and his team.

This was also the difference between the cultivators and the mortal army. It was very difficult for the mortal army to respond to the two defense points from a distance, and even a one-mile mountain road had to be run over bit by bit.

It would take a long time, and anything could happen during this time. For example, if the other side detected the opponent's intention in advance, they would set up an ambush support team on the way, make a feint to the east and attack the west to transfer troops from a defense point, and then take advantage of the opportunity to enter the ambush, etc.

These are all caused by the time difference, but it is different for cultivators. The two defense points are only a moment away, not to mention dozens of miles apart, even hundreds of miles apart.

It can be said that they came with a whistle and left with the wind.

Li Yan immediately arranged "Senior Sister Tan Tai to withdraw the patrol team and lead 20 cultivators to guard the north side, and the rest of the people were left to Senior Brother Gong to wait for an opportunity to support;

Daoist Fellow Wang Ning divided the troops into two groups, with more than a dozen people guarding the east and west sides;

Daoist Fellow Wu Ye guarded the south and prepared to meet the enemy head-on. Everyone should attack when the one-way restriction of the large formation is opened!"

Li Yan quickly assigned the personnel. In fact, he was very uneasy in his heart and complained that his master asked him to command the Qing Sixteenth Team. He would rather be a team member and just take care of himself.

He didn't know whether this allocation method was correct. He just bit the bullet. He was based on the introduction of the cultivator surnamed Fang before.

The demon cultivators came from the south, which was the main direction of defense. There were other defense points to share the east and west. Although the north side bordered Fengliang Mountain, it was the most vulnerable place to sneak attacks.

Now he has three teams of cultivators, each of which actually has more than 30 cultivators. If you remove the nine people who maintain the formation, each team basically has about 30 people.

Li Yan asked Dantai Dongyue to leave people to Gong Yuantai just to keep a fresh force that can flexibly support any direction at any time. I believe that Gong Yuantai is very familiar with all this.

Li Yan himself is more free. If there is a problem, he will fly there directly at the first time, and he must always control the entire formation with his spiritual sense to judge the timing of attack and defense.

Wei Chongran also considered using Li Yan carefully. How many times has this scale of war occurred in the Desolate Moon Continent since ancient times.

Compared with the disciplined demon army, the composition of the cultivators in the Desolate Moon Continent can only be said to be a group attack, swarming up, and the coordination is not as good as the army among mortals.

Therefore, fighting with the demon army still depends more on personal bravery to drive the overall situation. Therefore, after considering for a long time, Wei Chongran still handed over the Qing Sixteenth Team to Li Yan.

Wei Chongran found that Li Yan was very similar to Li Wuyi in dealing with things. He was the kind of person who was calmer and almost cold-blooded when faced with a dangerous situation. This can be seen from Li Yan's previous missions.

When facing a demon cultivator who was several levels stronger than him, Li Yan could even calmly plan every subsequent step.

In a critical moment, he even used himself as bait without hesitation. This is exactly the person they lack the most in their team of cultivators now.

There are certainly many fierce generals among the cultivators on the Wild Moon Continent, but people like Li Yan who can crush the fierce people of the same level and are good at scheming are rare.

As soon as the three people led by Dan Tai Dongyue flew up and were about to act separately, a "boom boom boom" explosion sounded from the sky formation.

This made many cultivators who had just flown off the platform shake, and fear appeared in their eyes. Fear of the unknown is almost human nature, especially before they came, they all inquired about the combat power of the demon cultivators.

Those veterans would not belittle their opponents, fearing that their companions would bring trouble to themselves on the battlefield by despising them. They had already told the actual combat power of the demon cultivators one by one, and even slightly exaggerated it.

Among the newly recruited cultivators, there were also many brave and bloody cultivators. They looked calm and even faintly excited, while the rest had already fully opened their spiritual shields.

On the other hand, the members of the original Qing 16th Team, in addition to their extremely serious expressions, stabilized their bodies one by one and looked at the three leaders.

Tantai Dongyue was originally a veteran of the Qing 16th Team. She looked calm and did not stop, and took the lead to roar to the north.

Wuye's face also did not change. He let the loud noise above his head fly to the edge of the southern formation with a burning gaze.

Wang Ning's situation was a little different. Her pretty face was a little pale, but after a short pause, she immediately sent a message to another fake Dan cultivator, and the two led their teams to the east and west sides.

Seeing that everyone still followed his orders, Li Yan was slightly relieved. At least they now looked organized and capable of fighting.

Looking at Gong Yuantai and his eight men left on the platform, Li Yan sent a message to Gong Yuantai, and Gong Yuantai's worried face showed a hint of surprise for the first time.

He also quickly sent a voice message back, "Oh, does this formation really have the function that Junior Brother Li said? It is much stronger than the formation of 'Mogu Mountain' at the beginning.

"

Gong Yuantai's face was obviously half-believing and half-doubting. Li Yan nodded slightly, and Gong Yuantai finally showed some relief on his face.

Li Yan's consciousness scanned everywhere, not daring to relax at all. In just a moment, Tan Tai Dongyue and the other two led the team to their position at the fastest speed.

Outside the "Tongguiling" formation, those monks who rushed over had already cast various powerful spells from afar, although they were not close. Among these monks, there were many monks from the South China Sea.

Tan Tai Dongyue and the other two were not familiar with the "Yin Yang Boundary River Formation". After arriving at the designated location, they didn't know whether to go out to meet the enemy or to defend the place.

If the "Yin Yang Boundary River Formation" did not open the ban in one direction, they would not even be able to attack, and they would even help the enemy break through the formation from the inside.

The three people had a thought at the same time: "Li Yan is still nervous." It seems that Li Yan forgot to tell them in a panic. How can they defend themselves next if they didn't tell them such an important thing?

Just when the three were about to send a message to Li Yan, Li Yan's voice rang in their minds.

"In addition to defense, the 'Yin Yang Boundary River Formation' also has a set of chain formations that can trap the enemy. This is why the second team of the 'Heavy Front Camp' has been holding on with dozens of people.

I will control the four directions of the formation to open the death gate and let some of them in later, but I can only divide them into four areas, and I can't separate all the enemies separately.

In these separate areas, the formation prohibition exists for small-shaped sword formation attacks, which is only equivalent to the power of ten sword cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. Therefore, if you want to really kill the opponent's master, you still need someone to enter that area and kill the enemy."

Tan Tai Dongyue, Wang Ning and Wu Ye were very surprised when they heard the first half of Li Yan's sentence, but they were still a little disappointed when Li Yan changed the subject.

"It turns out that this formation has certain limitations in trapping and strangling the enemy. If there are two to five cultivators below the late stage of foundation building trapped in that area, it is estimated that a rain of swords will strangle the enemy.

But if there are more than five cultivators trapped, even if the opponent is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, the result may not be satisfactory, and the cultivators will still need to face each other in the end."

But then he thought about it and felt that if it was true, the second team of "Chongfeng Camp" would not have suffered so many casualties.

The formation of such a huge mountain range is not weak to be able to achieve both offense and defense, and it is controlled by a cultivator in the foundation building stage.

Being able to control such a huge formation to trap the enemy while strangling the enemy and having defensive capabilities is comparable to a second-rate sect's protective formation. Without a cultivation base above the golden elixir, the true power of this formation cannot be exerted at all.

And

Moreover, the top leaders of the four major sects decided to use their own cultivators as bait, and they would not hesitate to sacrifice low-level cultivators to exhaust the opponent to death here. Of course, they would not come up with a better formation.

Otherwise, as long as the other party sees how powerful the formation is, they will not be stupid enough to send batches of demon soldiers and monks to die.

As Li Yan finished his voice transmission, he took out the compass given by the monk surnamed Fang. He was not very familiar with the manipulation formula, but it was similar to most formation manipulations, except that there were a few special features.

With Li Yan's understanding of the formation, he was still a little unfamiliar with the manipulation. Fortunately, he still had the compass in his hand to assist him, so it was not difficult for him.

As the ancient runes flashed on the compass in Li Yan's hand, the monks in the formation felt that the sky above their heads was instantly changed to the sun and the moon.

In an instant, the sky was full of strong winds, flying sand and rocks, and even covered the huge noise outside the formation. The cloudless sky also became dark, and waves of coldness rose from the ground under their feet.

The ground under their feet was no longer part of the mountain, but turned into dark passages. They were like standing in a maze.

In the cave at the core of the formation, there was a white beam of light rising into the sky, piercing the sky. Nine monks were sitting around the white beam of light, their faces illuminated by the white light and turned into a piece of snow-white.

After Li Yan's voice rang in the minds of the nine of them, they immediately sat cross-legged according to the nine palaces, with several storage bags beside each of them, and the white light in the center of the cave lit up.

The nine monks waved their sleeves at the same time, and a storage bag opened wide beside them. Rays of light like clouds burst out, and spiritual stones with pure spiritual energy flew out of the storage bags in large pieces.

The rays of light connected into one piece, flying towards the white light in the center like moths to a flame. The white light in the center began to condense rapidly, and soon formed a circular base in the center of the cave.

Four pairs of yin and yang fish appeared near the base, four yin and four yang, yang like the scorching sun, yin like a clear spring, gradually becoming clear, yin and yang intertwined, still rotating like a wheel, four strange forces rose from the base.

After the four forces rose into the air, they were like four dragons trying to break through the air and fly away. They entangled and climbed up, raised their heads and competed to rise. Finally, a thick white light column shot up into the sky.

In addition to investing a large amount of spiritual stones from time to time, the nine people also stretched out a finger to press on the four yin and four yang yin and yang fish on the white light column, and the spiritual power on their bodies surged in like a wave.

This light column could not be seen outside the cave at all, let alone the terrifying power that pierced the sky. Outside, there was only the howling wind and dark clouds in the formation.

Outside the formation, hundreds of light beams of various colors hit the formation, causing ripples and rebounding most of the attacks. For a moment, balls of fire and large patches of ice fog exploded in the sky above "Tonggui Ridge", shaking the sky.
