Chapter 318 The Declining Situation
At the same time, on the other side, the battle between Lin Chen and Ye Ming was extremely fierce, but it also entered a stalemate.
In front of Lin Chen, a soul-devouring demon insect that was larger than other similar insects and had a breath that vaguely reached the foundation-building level pounced on Lin Chen.
Lin Chen stared coldly at the alien soul-devouring demon insect, and suddenly a blue-white flame spurted out of his body, wrapping the demon insect alive!
Then, he used his finger as a sword and slashed it, and suddenly, an extremely sharp sword light shot out.
This sword directly penetrated the soul-devouring demon insect, and then sent it... to death!
For ordinary foundation-building cultivators, it takes a long time to fight with the foundation-building demon insect, but in Lin Chen's hands, it can't even last three seconds.
Ye Ming had to admit that such a person was a more terrifying enemy than Zhang Zhiming!
And the most important thing is...
"I am already in a half-dead state, and I don't need to consider physical fatigue and discomfort at all. But even so, after fighting for so long, I have replenished the elixir many times, but why is the opponent, a mere flesh and blood body, not tired at all until now?!"
Ye Ming, who had become a skeleton, crushed the elixir in his hand with force, absorbed the medicinal properties in it to replenish himself, and the soul fire in his head jumped violently, revealing his inner restlessness.
Because the haze raised by the Earth-shattering Star covered the sky above Lingnan, even if there were two huge figures fighting in the sky, it would not dissipate in a short time, so Ye Ming didn't know what time it was now.
But judging from the gradually dimming light, it was obviously past noon. The battle started in the morning and lasted until after noon. No matter how strong the foundation-building cultivator was, he was still a flesh and blood body. Such a long and high-intensity battle would definitely not be able to bear it.
Ye Ming had originally planned to do the same thing, using the interference of the Soul Devouring Demonic Insect and his own body, and when the opponent fell into a slump, he would find his flaws and use the third-level talisman, the treasure of the sect, to seriously injure or kill him.
But he never expected that after fighting for so long, the opponent seemed to have not consumed much, let alone showing signs of collapse.
On the contrary, the Soul Devouring Demonic Insects used to cover him and consume Lin Chen's strength suffered heavy casualties, and they might not be able to maintain such a large number of suppression.
On the other hand, Lin Chen was also a little surprised. Although he let the opponent go more seriously, if he did not use means beyond the foundation-building realm, it would not be an easy task to take down the opponent.
"It's a more difficult opponent..." Lin Chen said softly.
Then, he stretched out his right hand and clenched it fiercely.
Suddenly, a raging fire as pale as jade bones emerged from his side, covering the dense and overwhelming sea of insects in front of him!
Not long after, the seemingly endless sea of insects actually had gaps. As time passed, the pale flames burned all the soul-eating demon insects on the field!
"It seems that your demon insects are not endless?" Lin Chen took a step forward and looked at Ye Ming in front of him.
Although there were still dense demon insects flying in the distance, there were much fewer than before.
"I admit that no matter how much I overestimated you, I still underestimated you!" The cold voice came out from the soul fire in the skull, "But now the battle has lasted for so long, you can hold on, but what about others?"
"From the early morning of the general attack, it has now lasted until after noon. You can still hold on, but what about the other Qingyun Sect cultivators?!"
"You know, not everyone is as perverted as you! After all, they are human beings with flesh and blood, and they can't withstand high-intensity battles for so long! And we, the demon cultivators, are all between life and death, and we are more likely to be defeated than the continuation of the battle. Navigation ability, you are far from our opponent! "
"Even if you can kill me, so what? Can you protect these thousands of sacred mountains by yourself? Even if you can, how long can you protect them? ! "
"As long as the low-level cultivators die, the sacred mountains are broken, and the formation is destroyed, your Zhen Tian Zhenren will no longer be able to maintain this huge Dharma image! At that time, victory will still belong to us! "
After listening to this, Lin Chen couldn't help but remain silent, because the other party was right, low-level cultivators simply couldn't fight for a long time, and the seemingly stalemate situation at the moment was actually more favorable to the demon cultivators.
"Even if they rotate and repair, the mental consumption is not so easy to calm down. Most low-level cultivators can only support high-intensity combat time for one day at most. In other words, if they can't find a chance to break the situation before tomorrow morning, Qingyun Sect will definitely lose!'
After thinking about this clearly, Lin Chen couldn't help but look at the deepest and most hidden secret room in Qingyun Mountain, which was also the place where Zhen Yang Zhenren was in seclusion.
‘He is indeed right. With my current strength, I cannot break the current stalemate. The only person who can do this in Lingnan Xiuxian Land is Qingyang Zhenren, who is in seclusion to break through the Nascent Soul, but...’
In Lin Chen's opinion, the probability of his breaking through the Nascent Soul is very high, but the breakthrough of the Nascent Soul involves the change and sublimation of the essence of life, and the danger is very deep. Who can say for sure whether the other party will fall in this last step?
As the thoughts in his mind rolled, Lin Chen's eyes became deeper and deeper. He looked at Ye Ming's eyes, and suddenly a trace of cold murderous intent emerged.
‘When tomorrow morning comes, if things have not turned around, then kill this guy, remove the interference, and use the instant thousand miles talisman to leave this Lingnan land! ’
At this moment, the situation on the sacred mountains of Qingyun Sect was developing just as Lin Chen expected.
Although the appearance of the treeman army helped the cultivators stabilize the situation in one fell swoop, the illusory blood sea in the sky was still dropping blood light continuously.
Cultivators are not machines and cannot fight at a high intensity for a long time. The number of treemen is limited. If they are damaged in a short period of time, they cannot be cultivated again. Therefore, in the seemingly stalemate situation, the balance of victory is gradually tilting towards the side of the demon cultivators.
Zhang Mengyao and others who were able to partially save the situation and extend the time of persistence fell into a bitter battle again.
Zhang Hao was entangled with the strange monster cultivated by the Xuanyin Sect's demon cultivators. Although most of his body has been worn out now, it has also brought him great consumption.
He has taken the pills of Huiyuan and Yangshen many times in a row, but they are only tonics after all, and the mental fatigue cannot be relieved in a short time.
Zhang Mengyao was attacked by the blood shadow hidden in the dark, and was attacked by two true demon cultivators. Although she killed the blood shadow with her own powerful strength and repelled the attack, she still suffered some injuries.
The two true demon cultivators seized this opportunity, avoided direct combat, and constantly consumed her, causing her situation to become more and more dangerous.
Xu Mengyun, Liu Qiqiang, and several other foundation-building elders, with continuous mutual support, successfully killed the invading Xuanyin Sect demon cultivators.
But this seemed to be sensed by the illusory blood sea in the sky, and more blood demon monsters, even blood demons in the foundation-building period, fell towards it.
…
The situation began to slowly fall, and no one knew which battlefield change would be the last straw to overwhelm this situation.
At the same time, in the deepest part of Qingyun Mountain, at the center of the third-level spiritual vein, in a cave that was neither big nor small, but extremely hidden, a middle-aged cultivator wearing a green and red robe, with regular features and a noble temperament, was sitting cross-legged.
He is the most powerful person in Lingnan's cultivation world and the key figure in triggering the war - Qingyang Zhenren!
He closed his eyes and held his breath, sitting there for a long time like a dead tree, without a single sound from his mouth and nose, as if he had been dead for a long time.
But the strange thing is that if a cultivator comes here, he will be surprised to find that in the entire secret room, among the various spiritual attributes, only the fire spiritual energy has disappeared.
