Chapter 280 Hard Fight

As the leader, Song Qingyu has been standing at the highest point in the center of the market, observing the changes in the situation of the entire battlefield. The reason why she stood in such a conspicuous position was to let all the cultivators participating in guarding the market see her and know that she, a foundation-building cultivator, has been here all the time, which can also strengthen everyone's confidence.

"Senior Song, except for a few bandits who have been killed on the spot, the rest have been controlled."

After a battle, Hu Maocai, the third disciple of Lu Yuanfeng, led three frightened bandits to Song Qingyu and asked her how to deal with them.

Hu Maocheng was used by the Gao family cultivators because of his greed, and was once sued to Lu Yuanfeng by Song Qingming. In fact, he has always had some grudges against the Song family cultivators over the years.

Fortunately, except for some small problems of greed, this person is still very reliable. After Song Qingyu's order was passed down, he led the law enforcement team below after a bloody battle, and soon solved all the bandits who took the opportunity to create chaos in the market.

"Don't kill them first, just waste their cultivation and let two people watch. The others, come with me to the small gate in the south to see if we can find an opportunity to break through their blockade from there."

After hearing Song Qingyu's arrangement, Hu Maocheng was a little puzzled, but he nodded immediately and ordered the monks to quickly follow Song Qingming to the south of the market.

To the east of the market, dozens of monks in various clothes were desperately injecting their mana into the formation to block those positions that were about to be damaged.

Song Changxiong, who was standing in front, looked at these monks who had gathered temporarily, and then looked at the ferocious bandits outside the formation with ferocious faces. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart that it would not last long if the monks used mana to maintain the formation. If no one came to support them, it would be a matter of time before their formation was broken.

Once the formation was broken, the mana of these people in front of them would be too much because of the consumption of maintaining the formation, and they would not be the opponents of those outside. But at this moment, facing this crisis, this was also a helpless choice.

After arriving at the south of the market, Song Qingyu led Hu Maocai and 20 other law enforcement team monks through the small gate on the side of the city wall and found that there were not many people arranged by the bandit cultivators to besiege, only seven or eight people. Most of them should have been transferred to the east to attack the formation.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu did not hesitate and rushed over there with everyone, and directly cleaned up these unlucky guys who were alone here.

"Boss, someone ran out from the south, and it seems that there is a female who is a foundation-building cultivator. The brothers over there can't stand it anymore."

Song Qingyu had just killed a few people, and soon the bandit cultivators in other positions discovered the movement here, and quickly reported the matter to the leader Cheng Yilong.

Cheng Yilong, who was attacking with all his strength, saw that it would take some more effort to break the formation head-on, and suddenly heard the news that Song Qingyu ran out on his own initiative, and felt a little strange.

Another foundation-building cultivator who was working with him was named Wu Xiang. After hearing the news, he stopped attacking and came to Cheng Yilong and said, "Brother! That woman is the only foundation-building cultivator in this market. She is taking people to escape now. It is estimated that she wants to take away most of the valuable spiritual objects in the market. We must not let them escape."

Cheng Yilong looked at his partner in front of him and felt that what he said seemed to make sense, but he was a little worried about letting him go alone to chase Song Qingyu and others. He could only call another foundation-building cultivator, Chen Zicong, and let the two of them go to chase together.

The opponent was only a second-level foundation-building cultivator. With the two of them together, they could definitely stop Song Qingyu and his men, but in this way, there would be less two foundation-building cultivators and dozens of Qi-refining cultivators to help on the front battlefield, and the time to break the formation would be delayed.

After Song Qingyu led Hu Maocai and others to kill several bandit cultivators who blocked the road, the rest saw that it was a foundation-building cultivator who came out and immediately fled.

"Each of you will receive two of these talismans for self-defense. It will probably be a tough fight later. I don't ask you to fight to the death. Just attract the other party's attention and hold on for an incense stick of time. Whether you return to the market or escape, I will not blame you in the future. Do you understand?"

After killing these people, just when Hu Maocai thought that Song Qingyu was going to choose to escape immediately, she didn't seem to have this plan, but wanted to lead them directly to the east gate.

Seeing that Song Qingyu, as the commander, was not afraid and wanted to take the initiative to attack and contain the bandits in the east, Hu Maocai and his people naturally didn't want to be looked down upon by the people around them, and all nodded firmly.

Anyway, they were not going to die. If they couldn't win later, they would just hide in the market formation first. Song Qingyu's purpose was just to help Song Changxiong in the east share some pressure. As long as the mountain protection formation held up and waited for reinforcements, they would naturally be saved.

In contrast, if Song Qingyu directly chose to lead the escape, they would be in trouble. If they followed him, the chances of them, the Qi Refining cultivators, escaping would not be high under the pursuit of the enemy. If they hid back in the market formation, they would not be able to hold out for long without Song Qingyu, the backbone, and would be in great danger once the formation was breached.

In this way, Song Qingyu led everyone and ran into Wu Xiang and Chen Zicong who came to chase him.

"You are so brave, you dare to come here."

Seeing that Song Qingyu did not choose to escape directly, Wu Xiang and Chen Zicong were also surprised. I wonder what she wants to do with just a few people?

Song Qingyu did not say much nonsense after meeting them. He gathered his magic power and fired a rain of arrows at them.

Seeing that the other party had already started, Wu Xiang immediately released a barrier to block the attack. Chen Zicong also had a short blade in his hand and stabbed Song Qingyu directly.

Compared with Song Qingyu's second-level foundation building, Wu Xiang's fourth-level foundation building and Chen Zicong's second-level foundation building, the two of them must have no problem dealing with Song Qingyu together.

The battle started here, and the Qi Refining cultivators below did not rest either. The two sides soon fought together.

Although Hu Maocai's side had fewer people than the other side, they were also elite monks selected from the market to join the law enforcement team. In addition, Song Qingyu temporarily gave them a batch of spiritual talismans to help improve their combat effectiveness. The two sides actually maintained a close match for a while.

Although Song Qingyu was courageous, it was actually the first time for her to fight against monks of the same level. Facing the siege of Wu Xiang and the other two, she fell behind in just a moment. If she hadn't used a second-level spiritual talisman to temporarily force the two back, she would probably have been unable to hold on.
