Chapter 111 Confrontation

While Cao Wanjiang was still busy settling the monks who came to support him, a monk with the unique fire cloud mark of the Cao family on his clothes hurried over to him and shouted loudly.

"Ancestor, the monsters. The monsters are coming!"

"Why are you panicking? Tell us how many monsters are coming, how far away they are from us, and whether you have seen the monster king appear?" Seeing this man panic, Cao Wanjiang couldn't help but give him a warning.

Because of their disastrous defeat in Jinshanfang last time, the morale of the Qi-refining monks below has been somewhat low in recent days, especially some monks who escaped from Jinshanfang. They saw with their own eyes the ferocious appearance of the monsters after they broke through the market. Now when they heard others say that the monsters were heading south, they were all terrified. If it weren't for the pressure from their foundation-building monks on the mountain, these people would probably flee south like those casual cultivators.

Seeing that his ancestor looked unhappy, the Cao family cultivator quickly adjusted his state, calmed down and replied to Cao Wanjiang:

"There are probably four or five hundred of them, and there are more than a dozen level two monsters in the middle. It is still more than three hundred miles away from Huoyun Mountain. It is estimated that it will take another half a day. We did not see the white lion monster king, but ancestor, we are a little far away, and we are not sure whether the monster king has followed us." After the Cao family Qi training cultivator finished speaking, his eyes turned carefully, fearing that the ancestor would not be satisfied with his words.

Fortunately, Cao Wanjiang did not say much after listening, but just waved to him and sent him down first.

After receiving the news of the monster attack, Cao Wanjiang quickly notified all the foundation-building cultivators on Huoyun Mountain and began to prepare for the monster attack.

Soon half a day later, the noisy roars of monsters came from the foot of Huoyun Mountain. Everyone soon saw hundreds of monsters rushing down the mountain, and a trace of heaviness appeared on their faces.

Song Qingming didn't expect that they had been here for less than a day and had no time to rest properly before the monster army arrived.

The scene of hundreds of monsters galloping seemed very magnificent. It was the first time that Song Qingming saw such a suffocating scene. They were high up on the mountain and could see all the monsters coming clearly. Song Qingming even had some doubts in his heart. He didn't know whether their biggest support, the mountain protection formation, could withstand the attack of so many monsters at the same time.

However, the following scene quickly dispelled his doubts.

As soon as these hundreds of monsters rushed to the foot of the mountain, a yellow shield quickly covered the entire Huoyun Mountain. Many monsters rushed too fast, and dozens of monsters in front quickly crashed into the yellow shield.

Some smaller monsters were bounced aside by the shield and trampled to death by the monsters behind them who didn't have time to stop. Some larger monsters collided with the yellow shield and turned into a pile of flesh and blood, turning the yellow shield blood red.

Only a dozen leading second-level monsters were not affected too much. Seeing that this sacred mountain was protected by a shield, they gathered together and began to attack the yellow shield.

"Everyone, the formation can only last for an hour at most. Everyone go back and prepare well. Next, it's up to you to go out and stop the monsters first."

While commanding and controlling the mountain protection formation, Cao Wanjiang said to the many foundation-building monks around him, asking them to prepare for the next counterattack first.

Although the power of the mountain protection formation on Huoyun Mountain is not as powerful as the second-level top-grade formation in Jinshanfang, it is also the best mountain protection formation in Pingyang County now.

However, if they were to fully activate the formation to cover the entire Huoyun Mountain, it would also consume a large amount of spirit stones. Facing the simultaneous attack of four or five hundred monsters, they could only activate it for more than an hour at most to weaken the strength of some monsters. There were not many ways to completely rely on the mountain protection formation to repel the monsters' attack.

An hour passed quickly, and more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators quickly flew out of the mountain protection formation and stopped the second-level monsters that were still attacking the formation. Song Qingming and other Qi-refining cultivators followed the crowd down the mountain at the order of the Huang family cultivator.

Seeing that the cultivators and monsters below had already started fighting, Cao Wanjiang on the mountain was also in a dilemma.

The monsters had already moved south again. I don't know why the cultivators sent by Xiaoyao Sect came so slowly this time. Fortunately, the white lion monster king did not come this time. Otherwise, with these foundation-building Qi-refining cultivators, even if they activated the mountain protection formation, they could only hold out for a few more hours. Once they lost this line of defense again, most of the territory in Pingyang County would be given to these ferocious monsters.

In this battle, they did not make any preparations and fought with the monsters in a muddle. However, the battle had already started, and they could not think too much. The Song family could only bite the bullet and, led by the old patriarch Song Gushan, they jumped out of the yellow shield and killed the nearby monsters.

When the monsters outside saw many cultivators running out of the shield, they immediately stopped attacking the yellow shield and rushed towards them.

Uncle Thirteen Song Changxiong, who had just jumped out of the mountain protection formation, was very unlucky. He was immediately targeted by several monsters around him. Facing the siege of many monsters, even though he was very experienced in fighting, he was suddenly forced to be a little flustered and was scratched on the arm by a green wolf.

Fortunately, Song Qingming was not far away from him. He came to him in time and used the Tianluo umbrella in his hand to help him block two monsters, which made him recover.

The Song family cultivators who came this time were all experienced and powerful cultivators. They quickly stood their ground on the battlefield, surrounded them and rushed forward while fighting, and soon killed two monsters.

Song Qingming carried a lot of high-quality talismans on him. As long as his luck was not too bad and he was targeted by a second-level monster, it would not be difficult for him to escape from this melee of first-level monsters even if he wanted to do it alone.

The foundation-building monks and the second-level monsters in the sky were also fighting happily. The two sides fought back and forth very fiercely. Some unlucky low-level monks and monsters were injured by the aftermath of their battle and reluctantly withdrew from the battlefield.

Not long after the battle began, the monks began to suffer casualties. Fortunately, the number of monsters coming this time was not too large, only a few hundred. As long as there were no third-level monsters suddenly appearing, these monks could still deal with it. They were afraid that the cunning white lion monster king would hide nearby and attack the mountain protection formation as soon as they came out, just like last time. If that happened, they would slowly lose their foothold.

When the two sides were fighting fiercely, a dazzling blue light suddenly flew over the sky of the battlefield. After shaking for a while, the blue light turned into a blue giant sword several feet long, which cut a second-level monster python in the sky into two pieces. At the same time, a strong pressure instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.
