Chapter 259 Retreating the Enemy
Chapter 259 Retreating from the Enemy
"Is it possible that I am already strong enough to fight against the weakest opponent in the early stage of integration?" The man was surprised.
Tan Yu on the side saw it and was shocked. They were both in the early stage of Nascent Soul, but this senior brother's sword skills were so sharp.
Although it was a sneak attack, he was able to force back a powerful fusion power, and his combat power clearly surpassed his own. But the cultivation world has never heard of this person?
Jin Ziming felt conflicted. He wanted to try to challenge the "weak chicken but the mighty one", but he was also worried that Mu Xiu would expose his identity to Lin.
While he was hesitating, Qin Yu had already swallowed the pill, returned to his position, and joined his sword and spear, blocking out the man who focused on cultivating weapons rather than fighting in the early stages of the integration.
On the outskirts of the hub, the two true kings of Lingyun Sect successfully restrained their opponents whose cultivation level was a small level higher than theirs.
Fusion and Yuanying were caught in a melee. Jin Tan barely managed to block their opponents, but unexpectedly a mid-level powerhouse suddenly broke in.
The incoming long sword was extremely domineering, with murderous intent. The two of them instantly understood that dodging would be a dead end, and the only way to survive was to fight with all their might.
Qin Yu shouted loudly, and the soft water gun turned into countless filaments, spreading and circling like the tentacles of a jellyfish, trying to deflect the enemy's sword.
The long sword trembled slightly to resolve its entanglement, and then the sword's steel erupted, breaking the gun wire. Tan Yu's mind was agitated, and his body was thrown away again, and he fainted immediately.
Jin Peng jumped down from mid-air and turned into an angry giant ape. It was Jin Ziming's "culling".
With violent sword energy, for the first time in his life, the reckless man launched a frontal attack on a mid-level fusion player.
The golden and blue spiritual energy activated ten successes, and with an indomitable momentum, it hit the long sword hard.
The powerful force entered his body, causing him to fly out like a cannonball, hit a big pillar, and then bounced back.
The sword energy rushed into his body and began to wreak havoc. Fortunately, he had already filled his body with extremely high-quality golden-blue spiritual energy, so he was able to escape.
Despite this, he also suffered severe internal injuries. Qin Yu fell next to him, and the big palm from the previous stage of integration struck again.
Jin Ziming endured the severe pain and surging blood, activated the blue bracelet, and covered the two of them.
The big palm slapped it, and there was only a slight vibration. What followed was the long sword in the middle stage of integration. The light shield was dented, and it was easily blocked.
Jin Ziming hurriedly took the elixir for Qin Yu and himself, and controlled the protective shield to block a corner of the hub. A late-stage fusion player flew over and kicked the blue shield away hard.
Immediately, he punched the center of the formation with a punch. A powerful man from the Fire Dragon Palace, covered in blood, rushed forward regardless of his own safety. His right arm and shoulder turned into blood mist in the blink of an eye, temporarily saving the center.
At the critical moment, Luo Yuan, who had superior combat power, played a key role. He forced Wang Ye back with one move and fired three cold arrows at Tan Wenyu who had just launched his ultimate move.
In the fierce battle, Tan Zhenjun avoided one arrow and knocked away one, but was pierced through the chest by the third arrow.
This man is extremely tough and unyielding, but the Guan Haichao who fights him is so experienced that he would miss such a good opportunity.
The sword energy was like a rainbow. He first cut off his sword-holding arm, and then stabbed his head with the sword, killing his body and soul.
Without any hesitation, Guan Haichao and Luo Yuan joined forces and besieged Wang Ye. The latter was at a slight disadvantage against Luo Yuan alone, how could he resist? After more than ten moves, he was killed.
Guan Haichao shouted: "People of the Casting Hall, your two true kings have been killed. Surrender immediately, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
Seeing that the situation was over, the invading combined forces and Nascent Soul looked at each other and put down their weapons one after another.
However, there are four stubborn powerful men who want to take advantage of everyone's laxity to destroy the center of the formation and let the surrounding sects attack.
As soon as they made a move, they were killed by the True Lord and the Great Power next to them. A bloody battle ended and seventy-two people from the Forging Hall were captured, but the casualties in the Fire Dragon Hall were even more heavy.
The master of the palace, Min Huaishu, quickly rearranged the arrangement and recorded the images of the enemy's dead and captured people on a photographic stone.
Outside the formation, Situ Yangming and others had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. Half a day passed, and there was no news from the people who entered, but the opponent's formation was still intact.
Although the teleportation array of the medium-sized city to which the Fire Dragon Palace belongs has been surrounded by the Forging Hall, the reinforcements from the Lingyun Sect will definitely teleport to other nearby cities and then arrive.
Situ Yangming was on pins and needles and waited for more than a long time. The scouts reported back that nearly 1,500 people from Lingyun were flying in quickly.
Not long after, the Fire Dragon Palace also learned of the news, and videos began to play on the walls of the palace formation.
The corpses of Tan Wenyu and Wang Yezhenjun, as well as the dejected images of more than seventy prisoners, were clearly displayed.
Min Huairou's voice sounded:
"Listen up to the invading enemies of the Forging Hall, the two true kings you infiltrated yesterday have been killed.
The remaining combined bodies and Nascent Soul were either killed in battle or captured; reinforcements from the Lingyun Sect could arrive in less than half a day.
At that time, our faction will open a large formation and form an encirclement with the Lingyun faction. This is your last chance to retreat, so hope you can do it yourself."
There were not many words, but they were very intimidating. The military spirit of the Forging Hall was suddenly weakened. Most people wanted to rub oil on the soles of their feet and run away immediately. It is really not worth the loss of being here after practicing for a lifetime.
Several True Lords looked at each other and showed their intention to retreat. Situ sighed: "That's it, just retreat. I will go back and plead guilty to the main hall master."
At the top of the Fire Dragon Hall, Min Huaishu, Guan Haichao and Luo Yuan stood with their hands behind their hands, watching the army of the Forging Hall leave, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said:
"Thanks to the two true monarchs and the advance team for retreating the enemy this time, thank you so much!"
"Master Min, please don't be polite. From now on, we are our own people." Guan Haichao chuckled and directly changed his name to "Peak Master".
"However, the master's intention is to let them go instead of taking the opportunity to eat them, which is beyond my expectation." Min Huaishu said.
"This merger has caused too much noise and involves the super faction and the Cultivation Alliance.
The situation is very complicated, so the sect decided to stay on the safe side and not cause too many killings to avoid giving evidence to the population." Luo Yuan explained.
Min Huaishu nodded slightly and agreed.
"Two True Lords, what should we do with these prisoners?"
"Please let Master Min decide. My personal suggestion is to exaggerate our battle losses and submit compensation to the Casting Hall. Once they pay the spiritual stones or equivalent, we will let them go." Guan Haichao said with a smile.
"This is a great plan, just do it like this."
"How about becoming the deputy palace master?" Luo Yuan asked.
"He sacrificed a lot for the sect, and he was completely destroyed. I have sent two late-stage fusions to the coast of the South China Sea to pick up his clone." Min Huaishu replied.
"For such meritorious officials, the leader will definitely reward him heavily." Luo Yuan sighed.
Half a day later, reinforcements sent by Lingyun arrived, and the leader was actually the elder Er Er. After a brief meeting between him and Min Huairou, the Fire Dragon Palace began to pack its bags.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of space magic weapons. After ten days, the packing was completed, and the two groups of people were integrated into one place and retreated to Quling City in a mighty manner.
The old site of Fire Dragon Palace has since become a branch of Longfu Peak.
Qin Yu had already woken up, and after learning about what happened next from other teammates in the special operations team, she came to see the man.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jin, for your life-saving grace. I didn't expect your fighting power to be so strong."
"How can I save you from the powerful hands? It all depends on the protective bracelet given to me by my elders. Otherwise, we will all be finished."
The two chatted for a while, and Jin Ziming realized that this woman was actually quite talkative, and was not as cold, arrogant and taciturn as she appeared.
Qin Yu was extremely interested in his origins and kept asking questions about this and that, but the rude man always downplayed it and brushed it off.
Such a terrifying skill like his was unknown in the world of cultivation, which not only surprised Tan Yu, but also had to lament the hidden dragons and crouching tigers of the Lingyun Sect.
Jin Ziming had to leave first to bid farewell to Chu Qingfan. The two brothers were now fellow disciples and would have a lot of time to get together in the future. They could just hug each other briefly and everything would be unspoken.
When he returned to the sect, he received a letter from Ranyi, saying that the mission he had entrusted had been completed.
It turns out that Rui Ying broke through to Nascent Soul not long ago, and the mangy man asked the Ye family for help to get her a special place to be promoted from the Drifting Island to the Shangzong.
A few days later, Qin Yu came to him and said excitedly with hopeful eyes:
"Senior Brother Jin, your performance in the Fire Dragon Palace was greatly appreciated by Zhenjun Luo Yuan. He asked me to invite you to leave the business, join the special forces team, and focus on training from now on."
Jin Ziming didn't even think about it and replied sincerely:
"Junior sister Qin, thank you, Zhenjun, for your invitation. Firstly, Crazy Blade Peak will not agree, and secondly, I have already figured out my own way, and business is part of my practice.
This is how I grew up. The market will not delay my practice, but it can also temper my character. I have no intention of making changes, please understand!"
Qin Yu looked at him in surprise and tried hard to convince the man.
"Senior Brother Jin, people's energy is limited. If you focus on cultivation, you will definitely become more powerful."
"Junior sister Qin, I don't know. I was once confused about this issue. But now that I have thought it through clearly, I will not waver.
Everyone’s Tao is different, and you probably need to focus on cultivation in order to keep improving. But I need the sharpening of the Tao of Business to broaden my horizons, understand life, and then feed back my practice.”
Tan Yu was thoughtful, but didn't fully understand. She was a little confused. After a while, she said:
"Senior Brother Jin, you are a martial arts prodigy. It is a pity that you do not practice in this discipline.
I respect your choice and will explain it to Zhenjun when I get back. If you change your mind one day, please let me know at any time."
Jin Ziming couldn't bear to undermine the other party's good intentions and smiled: "Okay, thank you, Junior Sister Qin."
The mangy man was busy with his business and practice again, but he was becoming increasingly unhappy, or in other words, he was not adaptable. There were too many meetings at the Kuangdao Peak headquarters, from morning to night every day, almost non-stop.
In order to avoid these boring meetings, he took the initiative to respond to various branches for help, provide support everywhere, or visit high-level officials, or analyze projects. In short, he did not stay in Quling City for a long time.
The bumps and loneliness made him enjoy it very much, and he readjusted his state of mind.
On this day, as soon as he returned to his sect from Dongwu Continent, he received a letter from Shi Yilin of Xiangshan Pavilion, which had been delivered two days ago.
Jin Ziming opened it and was shocked to see that the letter read:
"Junior Brother Jin, something big happened in our sect recently, and I think it is necessary to let you know. Three days ago, our master, Uncle Fang Min, went out and was ambushed by the Demon Wind Ridge Demon."
