Chapter 942: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand
Then the two secretly left the others and took a shortcut to the entrance of the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave. Then they ambushed at this most commonly used entrance of the Yinfeng Extreme Fire Cave. They were lucky enough that the entrance chosen by Qingyang and others happened to be here.
These two people did not have the Wind and Fire Order. They relied entirely on their own defense to resist the Yinfeng and Extreme Fire. They suffered a lot for this. Fortunately, they were all Jindan cultivators, and their endurance was much stronger than that of foundation-building cultivators, so they could persist until now. However, the Yinfeng and Extreme Fire that kept blowing out of the cave were not so easy to bear. The two people also suffered a lot here, and they were a little bit unable to hold on. If Qingyang and others came a little later, they would have given up.
After Qingyang and his party came in, the two Jindan cultivators took the initiative and decisively used a large number of spiritual talismans to attack Qingyang and others, catching them off guard. The effect of the surprise attack was still very obvious. Qingyang and his party were more or less injured. Fu Chang and Xiao Yuhan, who were more seriously injured, even lost most of their combat power and could only barely protect themselves.
Seeing that the surprise attack had achieved results, the two Jindan cultivators rushed out at the same time, one rushed towards Liehuo Zhenren, and the other rushed towards Qingyang and others, intending to kill these people in one go.
The one who rushed towards Qingyang and others was the Jindan Level 2 cultivator. According to the normal strength comparison, a Jindan Level 1 cultivator can block the attacks of four or five Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators, and a Jindan Level 2 cultivator can at least deal with seven or eight Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators. Therefore, using the strength of this cultivator to deal with a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators can be described as a wolf entering a flock of sheep and killing all around.
In fact, the two of them also thought so, and even divided the scope. The horizontal-faced cultivator dealt with Liehuo Zhenren and five Foundation Establishment cultivators, and this person dealt with the remaining five Foundation Establishment cultivators. The strength comparison between the two sides was very different, and it was not very difficult to kill Qingyang's team.
They thought very well, and it was indeed the case under normal circumstances, but now there happened to be an abnormal Qingyang, and the situation was unpredictable. Seeing that Jindan cultivator rushing towards him, Qingyang did not dare to neglect it. He summoned five spirit swords at the same time and instantly formed a sword formation to meet him.
Qingyang's strength has been improving all the way over the years. Now he has reached the level of perfect foundation building. The true essence in his body has increased many times compared to before, and the strength of his soul has also been greatly improved. In addition, he has been practicing the Concentration Technique of the One-horned Ghost King. His mind is much stronger than that of cultivators of the same level, and even compared with ordinary Jindan cultivators, it is not much worse.
Because of this, Qingyang is getting easier and easier to perform the sword formation. After all, his five spirit swords are only low-grade spirit tools, and the true essence and mind consumed when driving are less than other spirit tools. Now Qingyang has already reached the level of instant when performing the Five Elements Sword Formation.
As soon as the mind moved here, the sword formation over there has gradually taken shape. The Five Elements Sword Formation is already amazingly lethal. After Qingyang's strength increased, the power of the sword formation was even more enhanced to the extreme. The huge sword formation, with sword shadows all over the sky, head-on covered the Jindan second-level cultivator opposite.
There is also a gap in strength between cultivators of the same level. Generally, the shorter the breakthrough time, the weaker the strength, and the longer the breakthrough time, the higher the strength. Those who have accumulated strength for a long time can even kill enemies of higher levels. The reason why the second-level Jindan cultivator rushed to Qingyang was to pick up the weak persimmon, because among the ten perfect foundation-building cultivators on the opposite side, Qingyang was the youngest, and it was obvious that he had just broken through. This way, he could kill with one blow and shock the rest of the people.
However, he never expected that Qingyang was not the weakest among these people, but the strongest among them. His real combat power was even higher than that of Liehuo Zhenren. When he found that the power of the sword formation that Qingyang casually sacrificed could even hurt Jindan cultivators, it was too late to change his tactics. He could only bite the bullet and use the original attack to face the five-element sword formation.
The fight between masters was a matter of seconds. Everything happened in a flash. In a blink of an eye, the second-level Jindan cultivator was submerged by the Five Elements Sword Formation. Then there was a loud bang, and the sword formation collapsed. Qingyang was hit back, and his blood and qi in his body were rolling. He took several steps back before he stood firm, and then he quickly circulated his true qi to suppress the boiling blood and qi in his body.
The cultivator on the opposite side screamed, and the magic weapon was blown away to an unknown place. His body also flew back four or five feet, and then fell to the ground with a bang. Looking at him again at this time, he had become a bloody man, with wounds cut all over his body by the spirit sword, and there was no intact one.
After all, that person was a Jindan cultivator, and he was a second-level Jindan cultivator who had practiced for many years. Although Qingyang's Five Elements Sword Formation was powerful, his own strength was slightly worse. Although the injuries of the man on the opposite side looked serious, they were actually some superficial injuries, and did not hurt the root.
After catching his breath, the man got up from the ground and looked at Qingyang with fear in his eyes. A perfect foundation cultivator actually beat him, a second-level Jindan cultivator, so badly. In his past experience and cognition, this was something he had never experienced before. In this way, the plan of their brothers before had changed, and it was hard to say whether they could finally win the Wind and Fire Order.
However, it was impossible to turn back now. Not to mention that they had spent so much effort and suffered so much. They finally blocked these people. How could they be willing to give up halfway? Moreover, at this point, the two sides had already started fighting. Even if they wanted to retreat at this time, the people on the other side would probably not agree easily. They always had to decide the winner first.
He knew very well that because of the variable Qingyang, he might not have a chance of winning, but he could try to delay time and create opportunities for the other Jindan cultivator. Whether he could win in the end depended on the situation of his elder brother. His elder brother was a fourth-level Jindan cultivator, and it was easy for him to deal with Liehuo Zhenren and a group of foundation-building cultivators. Once he was free, Qingyang, no matter how powerful he was, would not be able to make much trouble.
Thinking of this, the cultivator gritted his teeth, and his mind moved. The magic weapon that was previously knocked away by the Five Elements Sword Formation flew back to his side. Then he gathered the true essence in his body, stimulated the power of the magic weapon to the maximum, and attacked Qingyang again with light and shadow all over the sky.
At the same time, Xiying, Xiao Yuhan, Jiang Dahai, and Jiang Dayang, who were closer to Qingyang, also gathered towards Qingyang, each offering a spiritual weapon to deal with the Jindan cultivator together.
The situation is critical now. If we are not careful, the whole team will be wiped out, so no one dares to be lazy. Most of the hope for victory in the end lies on Qingyang. They must share some of the pressure and cannot let Qingyang fight the strong enemy alone.
