Chapter 767 Murong Zhu Steps Forward
After Ximen Ying said this, Duanmu Fei didn't know what to do for a moment. She felt guilty about standing against Qingyang, but she was worried about going against the four major families. Qingyang would leave sooner or later, and the Duanmu family would probably have a hard time in the future.
Qingyang knew the concerns of the Duanmu family. He was an outsider, and he could not afford to offend them, but he could afford to avoid them. No matter how big the trouble was, he could just leave. But the Duanmu family couldn't do that. Their roots were here. If they offended other families, they could easily destroy the Duanmu family by uniting.
It was rare for the Duanmu family to achieve this. Seeing Duanmu Fei in trouble, Qingyang said: "Duanmu Fei, I appreciate your kindness. As long as you remain neutral, I will not blame you. It is not easy to keep me with these crooked melons and cracked dates in front of me."
It is not that Qingyang is bragging, but he is fully confident. When he just entered the third level of foundation building, he was able to fight Murong Zhu, who was at the fifth level of foundation building, and even injured the other party. Now his strength has broken through to the fourth level of foundation building. Even if he faces Ximen Ying, he is not afraid at all, not to mention that he has the help of the iron-armed monkey and the alcoholic bee.
Of course, facing the siege of nearly 20 foundation building cultivators, it is impossible for Qingyang to win, but it is not so easy for this group of Wucheng Island cultivators to defeat Qingyang. They must pay a heavy price. It depends on whether they can afford it. Besides, if you can't beat them, you can still escape. As long as you can break out of the encirclement, with the wind-controlling gourd in hand, these people will definitely not be able to catch up with you.
Qingyang had enough confidence, but in the eyes of these people, he was arrogant. A fourth-level foundation-building cultivator was surrounded by nearly 20 foundation-building cultivators, including fifth- and sixth-level cultivators. He could still say such words, which was a bit too arrogant.
The cultivators from Wucheng Island present were all furious. They were filled with righteous indignation and shouted angrily: "Wow, I'm so angry. Everyone, don't hold me. I'm going to cut him into pieces."
"How dare you say that we are ugly, kid, you're dead this time."
"Everyone, join in and cut this kid into pieces. See if he dares to be arrogant again."
...
The cultivators from Wucheng Island shouted loudly, but no one took action directly. Obviously, they all had the same plan, which was to let others rush up first. Although Qingyang on the opposite side was not very strong, he was also a fourth-level foundation-building cultivator after all. He might be able to drag a few people to the back when he counterattacked before his death. If he rushed too far forward, he might become cannon fodder.
The monks of Wucheng Island used to be independent and had never taken joint actions. They were not convinced by each other. Now they had to temporarily unite for the inheritance of the King of Pills. They lacked binding force and had no leaders. Several city lords were proud of their status, and others were not strong enough. They were worried about being cannon fodder if they rushed to the front. It was normal to have such a reaction.
Looking at the mob in front of him, Qingyang couldn't help but sneer: "Don't just talk nonsense, you guys go up, you have the heart but not the courage, I really overestimated you."
Being ridiculed by Qingyang, the monks of Wucheng Island could no longer bear it. They were all powerful people and had always been high and mighty. When had they been humiliated in person like this? There was a loud shout from the crowd, and a thin figure rushed towards Qingyang.
The person who came was none other than the old rival Murong Zhu. In the battle in Duanmu City five years ago, the two fought evenly. In the end, Qingyang relied on the Four Elements Sword Formation to injure Murong Zhu.
Murong Zhu was deeply ashamed of this. He, a fifth-level foundation-building cultivator, actually lost to a third-level foundation-building cultivator. It was really shameful. Although he admired Qingyang's strength, he did not think he was inferior to Qingyang. It was because of the environment at that time. He did not have the right time, place, and people. If there was another fair competition, he would definitely be able to defeat Qingyang.
Now he finally got the chance to avenge his previous shame. Although Qingyang's strength has improved a lot, Murong Zhu did not think he would lose, because his cultivation has also improved a lot over the years. Now the situation has reversed, and the right time, place, and people are all on his side. What's more, there are nearly 20 foundation-building cultivators watching around. As long as he can withstand the first few rounds of attacks, others will rush up when they see the advantage. By then, Qingyang will die without a burial place, and he will get his revenge.
Murong Zhu planned very well. He used all his strength from the beginning. He used his Qimei stick to smash Qingyang's head with the force of a mountain. At the same time, eighteen mother-and-child soul-breaking nails were coiled in front of his chest according to a certain pattern, protecting his whole body tightly.
Qingyang would naturally not let him succeed. Facing the siege of a large group of monks, the most important thing was to be ruthless, strong, and decisive enough to calm some of them, make them afraid of him, and make them dare not act rashly, so that they would have a chance to win. Otherwise, once he was entangled by Murong Zhu, and others attacked together, he would really be cut into pieces by the chaotic swords.
Qingyang had already made preparations here. Before Murong Zhu rushed up, five spiritual swords suddenly appeared, transforming into countless sword shadows, gathering into a huge sword formation above his head. Then Qingyang pointed forward, and the sword formation immediately covered Murong Zhu.
As the Five Elements Sword Formation appeared, the sky and the earth changed color. In the narrow space of Danwang Cave, sword shadows were everywhere, illuminating the entire cave, and the strong wind made people's faces hurt.
Murong Zhu has taken Qing Yang seriously and made sufficient psychological preparations before. He has also repeatedly calculated the sword formation that defeated him five years ago. It is not completely unstoppable. He even made plans to retreat quickly if he is defeated, so that he can always save his life. But when Qing Yang's sword formation was used, he realized that he still underestimated the opponent. The power of this sword formation is more than ten times greater than before. It turns out that this guy still has some reservations in the battle five years ago.
This guy is too insidious. He has set a trap for him long ago. I am afraid he will die this time. Murong Zhu's face changed drastically. He knew that with his current strength, he could not stop the sword formation in front of him. If he fought hard, he would only die.
The fear of death made Murong Zhu confused, and he even forgot that dodging would only make him die more miserably. He paused his legs and quickly retreated his whole body. At the moment of life and death, he didn't care who was standing next to him. He stretched out his hand and pushed forward, hoping to escape this disaster.
Unfortunately, he still underestimated the power of the Five Elements Sword Formation and thought things were too simple. When Qingyang was at the third level of foundation building, he could hurt him with the Four Elements Sword Formation. Now that Qingyang's strength has greatly improved, he is using the more powerful Five Elements Sword Formation. The result is predictable.
