Chapter 609: Battle of Tuyunling [Subscription Request]

Yuelunjiaoshanmen.

As the direct culprit that caused the death of Thunder Dragon King last time, and the force that indirectly caused the severe injury to Golden Horned Dragon King, the Moon Wheel Cult is naturally the main target of the Dragon Clan's revenge this time.

When the Golden Horned Dragon King was unable to show up, as many as six fifth-rank demon kings, led by a fifth-rank upper-grade red fire dragon, directly raided the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate. They first killed three Jindan-stage cultivators and many Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment cultivators who led the team to resist the beast tide, and then surrounded the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain gate and launched a fierce attack.

Under the fierce attack of these six fifth-level demon kings, the Moon Wheel Sect's mountain protection formation was also facing tremendous pressure. All the Moon Wheel Sect monks inside the mountain gate were trapped inside, and no one could get out.

Fortunately, the demon kings were unable to intercept all of the communication methods, so they were not completely ignorant of the situation in the outside world, nor were they unable to send messages for help.

"Have you received any reply from Fellow Daoist Kunxu? When will the alliance's reinforcements arrive in Jingguo? How many people do they plan to send?"

Inside the mountain gate, True Man Yin Yue had just presided over the formation to repel a fierce attack from six demon kings. While the other party was resting and recovering, he hurriedly asked the senior brother in charge of contacting the sect about the situation and requesting help.

When the mountain gate was besieged by six demon kings, they realized that the intensity of this beast tide might be beyond imagination. Therefore, they immediately used secret methods to ask for help from Kunxu Zhenren, a great late Nascent Soul cultivator of the Tianling Alliance, and requested the alliance to intervene to assist Jingguo.

After all, facing the pressure from the entire Jiaolong clan, the power of Jingguo alone could not resist it.

At this time, facing the inquiry of Master Yin Yue, another Master Yuanying of the Moon Religion who was in charge of the contact immediately responded in a low voice: "Daoyou Kunxu has already reported back. He has officially issued a notice to notify all countries and factions to rush to our aid. However, because the incident happened suddenly, it will take at least three to five days for the reinforcements to arrive in Jingguo. He asked us to hold the mountain gate first and wait for the reinforcements to arrive!"

Hearing this answer, Master Yin Yue couldn't help but frown and said, "The high-level cultivators of each sect may not be in the mountain gate. It takes time to gather them. I can understand this, but their Nascent Soul cultivators should all be in the mountain gate. Why don't they bring some of the Golden Core cultivators in the mountain gate to come over for help first?"

At this point, he said angrily with a look of anger on his face: "Three to five days is easy to say. Even if our sect will not encounter any problems within three to five days, I am afraid that half of Jingguo will fall within these three to five days!"

These words made the Yuanying stage master who was in charge of the communication not know how to respond.

After venting his anger, Master Yin Yue realized that being angry was useless, so he quickly cheered up and asked again, "What's the current situation at Yanyang Sect and Qinglian Temple? Is there any more specific news?"

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul Stage Immortal who was in charge of the contact immediately replied, "The Yanyang Sect has also been blocked by four fifth-level demon kings. Daoist Fellow Ziyang and his men are also unable to get out. Their situation is generally better than our sect's."

“As for Qinglian Temple, even though we have sent Tianjing to help, the siege of three fifth-level demon kings still puts a lot of pressure on them. I’m afraid the situation may not be better than our sect’s!”

This answer made Master Yin Yue look even uglier.

"Sending out thirteen fifth-rank demon kings at once, what a big move!"

Master Yin Yue muttered to himself, feeling very heavy-hearted.

The number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Jing Kingdom is less than half of these fifth-level demon kings.

Among them, there was not even a single great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Relying on the existence of the mountain protection formation, he even dared to fight with the fifth-grade top-grade red fire dragon outside.

If he were to leave the mountain protection formation, he would have no chance of being a match for the other party.

Moreover, he knew clearly in his heart that the number of these fifth-level demon kings was far beyond the limit that the Jiaolong clan could mobilize.

No one dares to say whether there are more fifth-level demon kings hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Forget it! Then let's send a message to each subordinate force and let them fight on their own first, focusing on self-preservation!"

In the end, Master Yin Yue could only sigh and make such a helpless decision.

He knew very well that once this order was issued, the prestige of the Moon Wheel Sect would drop greatly. If those vassal forces were to encounter danger in the future, no one would take the Moon Wheel Sect seriously anymore.

If we want to mobilize the monks from various vassal forces to resist the army, we will probably encounter all kinds of excuses.

But it was ultimately a decision of choosing the lesser of two evils.

As long as the Yuelun Sect can stabilize its own mountain sect foundation and continue to sit firmly on the throne of the overlord of Jingguo, even if its prestige is lost, it will not damage its own status.

After all, if those vassal forces want to make a living in Yasukuni Shrine in the future, they will still have to depend on the mood of their overlord.

On the other side, Zhou Chun, who retreated to Tuyun Ridge, soon received instructions from the Yuelun Sect to fight on his own.

This is exactly what he was looking forward to!
Zhou Chun knew clearly that in this great beast tide, only by mastering independence and autonomy could he better protect his family.

Otherwise, if they were all transferred to the front line to fight against the main force of the beast tide, and there were no strong people in the family, chaos would easily occur.

Now that he has received instructions to fight on his own, he has ample room to maneuver!

Therefore, Zhou Chun's first thing was to transfer a large number of people and assets of the tribe out of Tuyunling and move them to a deeper place further north before the main force of the beast tide arrived.

As long as they do not leave Jingguo, or escape from Jingguo without being discovered, even if someone finds out, the Zhou family cannot be blamed for anything.

It would be best if we could defend the Tuyunling mountain gate. If we really can't defend it, giving up temporarily is also acceptable!

The important thing is to protect the personnel and assets first, and wait to recover the territory later!

After evacuating some clansmen with shallow cultivation and a large amount of assets, all that remained in Tuyunling were the elite members of the Zhou family.

Including Zhou Chun, the Zhou family’s three Jindan-stage cultivators and six Zifu-stage cultivators gathered here, and there were more than thirty foundation-building cultivators!

It can be said that the elite members of the entire Zhou family have gathered here.

As for the family's other sacred mountain, Jiufengling, it is basically in a semi-abandoned state, with only two Foundation Establishment cultivators with short lifespans and some equally elderly Qi Condensation cultivators stationed there.

Obviously Zhou Chun knew very well that in the face of such a huge beast tide, it would be a very foolish act to try to divide the troops and fight in two places.

And at this time, there were not only cultivators from the Zhou family on Tuyun Ridge, but also cultivators from some nearby immortal cultivation families, and even independent cultivators.

When they learned that the beast tide was coming in full force and that fleeing to another country was difficult, many immortal cultivation families in Lingzhou chose to abandon their family gates and split their family members into several groups to seek refuge everywhere.

As one of the largest families in Jingguo, the Zhou family is naturally the first choice for these people to take refuge.

From the Zhou family's perspective, if they can accommodate more cultivators in their own mountain gate, they will naturally try their best to do so.

These will all be good helpers who will help defend our own mountain gate and spiritual land in the future.

It was precisely because he had anticipated this situation that Zhou Chun moved some of his clansmen away from Tuyunling in advance to make room for the mountain gate.

So, on the third day after the beast tide entered Jingguo, the figures of monsters appeared outside Tuyunling.

First, tens of thousands of demon birds, led by a fourth-level demon bird, came to Tuyun Ridge and circled around it, occupying all the important roads.

In the next half day, tens of thousands of monsters came rushing over and surrounded Tuyunling.

And as time goes by, more monsters continue to gather.

Judging from this situation, the fourth-level monsters in the beast tide have also received missions and are aware of the approximate strength of the Zhou family in Tuyunling, so they dare not be careless.

Before the beast tide launched the attack, Zhou Chun contacted Tianjing Villa. As he expected, Tianjing Villa was also surrounded by a large number of monsters.

"Zhengchun, can you tell how many fourth-level monsters there are outside? I see that the number of these monsters is still increasing. I'm afraid the situation is not good!"

In Tuyun Ridge, Zhou Mingde, Zhou Chun and Lin Hongyu, three Jindan stage cultivators, were standing at the highest point of the mountain, observing the beast tide surrounding the mountain outside. After observing for a while, Zhou Mingde expressed his concerns with a worried look on his face.

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I can't tell this now. Different types of monsters have different magical powers. Fourth-level monsters often have certain magical powers of escape. If they intentionally use the power of beasts to hide themselves, unless you are a cultivator who has successfully cultivated the magical power of spiritual eyes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see how many fourth-level monsters are outside at this time!"

His own five spirit pets are now all fourth-level monsters, and he knows this very well.

Even though those fourth-level monsters out there may not have the same talent as his spiritual pet, they are not all as mediocre as the Fire God Jackal.

But he quickly continued, "No matter how many fourth-level monsters there are outside, we just need to remain unchanged and defend the mountain gate."

"Hey! I hope the situation won't be too bad!"

Zhou Mingde sighed and could only accept the reality.

The herd of beasts outside did not make the Zhou family wait long. After the encirclement was completed, they officially launched the attack.

These monsters seemed to understand the rules and did not rush forward from all directions. Instead, they chose to attack from the east and west directions.

On the east and west sides of Tuyunling, huge animals such as cows, horses, bears and elephants, which are known for their thick skin and flesh, were lined up in formation and rushed towards Tuyunling, which was covered with yellow clouds, like waves.

There are many second- and third-level monsters among them!
These monsters are obviously cannon fodder to attract firepower and test the strength of the defenses inside.

Facing the probing attacks of these cannon fodder monsters, Zhou Chun and other Jindan-stage cultivators had no intention of taking action, but just let the Zhou family members and those refugee cultivators be responsible for cleaning them up. The [Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation] had already been fully deployed at this time, covering the area of ​​100 miles.

As soon as those monsters rushed into the range of the formation covered with dense yellow clouds, they would immediately lose their vision and find it difficult to form a joint force with their companions.

The immortal cultivators who were not affected by the formation were roaming in groups of three or five, accurately harvesting the lives of the monsters!

However, the number of monsters far exceeds that of the immortal cultivators in Tuyunling, not to mention that these monsters are all of thick skin and strong vitality.

Therefore, as more and more monsters poured into the formation, it became difficult for the middle and low-level cultivators to complete the harvest in time.

If they are not stopped, these monsters will inevitably rush into the depths of the formation and test the strengths and weaknesses of the formation.

So Zhang Liang, the Zhou family's Purple Mansion stage cultivator who was in charge of the formation, immediately mobilized the power of the formation and launched the formation's killing move.

Some places in the formation suddenly turned into mud and sand traps, trapping all the monsters in them. Then huge rocks fell from the sky, smashing them so hard that they could not move and causing them to bleed.

Some monsters suddenly grew sharp stone thorns on their way forward, piercing their relatively soft abdomens, leaving them hanging in place!
A third-order, medium-grade earth dragon beast, relying on its thick skin and flesh, advanced extremely quickly into the depths of the formation and was about to touch the defensive barrier of the formation in front.

However, it did not expect that the gravity in the place suddenly increased, pressing its huge body to the ground.

Then, a huge rock with a diameter of dozens of feet fell from the sky, directly smashing the khaki protective shield it was holding up, and smashing its head and half of its body into meat paste!
After all, the [Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation] is a genuine forbidden formation. Even though it is far inferior to the mountain protection formations of the three major forces in Jingguo and cannot withstand the attacks of fifth-level strongmen, it is more than enough to deal with some monsters that are less than fourth-level.

If the beast tide wants to break through this formation, it can basically only pay with the lives of the beasts, constantly consuming the spiritual energy of the Tuyunling spiritual vein, until the formation can no longer draw enough spiritual energy to operate and collapses on its own!
After continuing the attack for nearly half an hour and sacrificing the lives of two to three thousand monsters without finding anything, the beast tide temporarily stopped its offensive.

"Oh, are you going to stop testing now?"

Zhou Chun's expression changed, and as he looked at the beasts that were no longer moving forward, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He originally thought that this round of testing would last at least one or two hours and would require the dispatch of several fourth-order monsters.

Who would have thought that it would end up like this.

After staring at the beasts outside for a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Well, let's arrange for someone to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils!"

After the words fell, Zhou Xinyan, who was in charge of dispatching personnel, immediately arranged for those cultivators who had not taken action to go and collect the corpses of the monsters.

This great beast tide is both a crisis and an opportunity.

If they could successfully cross the river, the corpses of various monsters and demon pills would be enough to make the remaining forces and independent cultivators in Jingguo rich and wealthy.

But the prerequisite is to be able to survive to the end!
Zhou Chun himself actually regarded this great beast tide as his own opportunity. With his strength, as long as he did not die in the beast tide, he would definitely gain a lot of demon pills of various grades in the future, and his several spirit pets would benefit greatly from it.

However, the situation is unclear now, so he does not intend to be too high-profile, so as not to attract a dimensionality reduction attack from the fifth-level demon king!

Once the situation becomes clear and it is confirmed that the top-level beings on both sides can form a mutual restraint situation, he will truly display his strength and reap a large harvest.

Looking at the beast tide outside, after resting for about half a day, they launched a new wave of attacks at night when the full moon rose.

This time it seemed to be for real. Not only did the ground beasts launch a charge, but a large number of flying beasts also joined in the offensive.

And those fourth-level monsters also appeared one after another and led the team to launch a fierce attack.

There were eight fourth-level monsters that appeared, including one fourth-level upper-grade monster, three fourth-level middle-grade monsters, and four fourth-level lower-grade monsters.

Zhou Chun originally thought that there should be a fourth-order dragon inside, but he didn't see one.

But this is not good news, because since the dragon has not appeared yet, it means that the beast tide still has some strength left.

Therefore, Zhou Chun only released the Thunder Dragon that had been exposed long ago to fight against one of the fourth-level middle-grade monsters. He secretly let the Wood Demon and the Golden Winged Tiger fight against the other two fourth-level middle-grade monsters under the cover of Zhang Liang.

He himself stood up to face the fourth-grade top-grade monster.

In this way, he alone fought against four of the strongest monsters, and the remaining four monsters were left to Lin Hongyu, Zhou Mingde, the Fire God Jackal and the formation.

The fourth-grade top-quality monster that Zhou Chun fought was a rare alien monster [Blue-eyed Golden Ape].

This kind of monster possesses a rare supernatural power of spiritual eyes. Its pair of green eyes can not only see through illusions, but also have the effect of capturing souls.

At the same time, this beast is proficient in gold-attributed magical spells, and is very strong in both attack and defense.

Fortunately, Tu Yunling's [Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation] is not good at illusion, but is good at defense.

Otherwise, if the formation relies on illusion, it would be destroyed directly when encountering this [Blue-eyed Golden Ape].

But despite this, the beast seemed to have seen through the true and false center of the formation, and went straight to the center as soon as it entered the formation.

Even in the directions attacked by several other fourth-level monsters, there are formation bases!

If the Zhou family was weaker, they might have been defeated by this wave.

Unfortunately, they met a tough opponent this time!

Zhou Chun just swung his hands, and the [Golden Dragon and Tiger Rings] on his wrists flew out together, and in an instant they turned into a golden dragon and a silver tiger, blocking the way of the [Blue-Eyed Golden Ape].

Then he opened his mouth again, and the [Wanhua Golden Cauldron] flew out. Golden light emerged from it, and several golden sword rainbows shot towards the giant ape cave opposite.

Faced with this kind of attack, the golden giant ape, which was more than ten feet tall, roared immediately, and swung its fists, leaving golden fist marks that hit the golden dragon and silver tiger, making it difficult for the two to get close to them.

However, the golden sword rainbow that shot out from the hole was quickly blocked by a layer of golden protective spiritual light that burst out from his body, and it was difficult to hurt him at all.

After all, this beast has an advantage in cultivation and is a natural alien species. It is impossible for Zhou Chun to defeat it with just a top-grade magic weapon and his own magic weapon.

However, Zhou Chun himself had no intention of killing. He just wanted to restrain the opponent and prevent him from breaking the formation.

Therefore, he didn't even use the [Tiangang Thunder Sword], and only relied on these two magic weapons and his own magical powers to fight against the enemy, his main attack was to hide his weaknesses!
At present, the beast tide outside Tuyunling alone cannot pose a fatal threat to the Zhou family, so Zhou Chun has no intention of showing off his supernatural power to attract more beast tide forces to besiege the Zhou family.

Although the [Blue-Eyed Golden Ape] wanted to defeat Zhou Chun and break the formation, no matter how hard it tried, it could only force out Zhou Chun's other top-grade magic weapon [Two Dragons Overturning the Sea Bottle], and then it was completely unable to do anything.

In contrast, on several other battlefields, the Zhou family quickly gained an advantage!

Lei Jiao Baibai and Jin Chi Hu were fighting against a fourth-order middle-grade monster with their fourth-order lower-grade cultivation. They did not seem to be struggling at all and were even able to gain a certain advantage.

Even Mu Mei, with the help of [Tianmu Daobing], was able to firmly entangle an opponent with the fourth-order middle-grade cultivation level.

The three of them blocked the opponent, and it was easy for Lin Hongyu and Zhou Mingde to turn the situation around.

Don’t forget, the Zhou family has two fourth-level puppets!
At this moment, Lin Hongyu and Zhou Mingde were each controlling a fourth-level puppet, and with the luxurious magic weapon set given to them by Zhou Chun, they easily caused considerable damage to their respective opponents, causing the two fourth-level monsters to howl in pain.

The remaining fourth-level monster was also firmly trapped by Zhang Liang's formation, and it was impossible for it to escape in a short period of time.

Zhou Chun's consciousness spread out, taking in all the situations on the battlefield in his mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The current situation is that everything is as expected and everything is under control.

As long as we wait for Lin Hongyu and Zhou Mingde to kill or defeat their opponents, we will be able to break the deadlock.

But just when Zhou Chun thought that everything was stable, he suddenly frowned. He received a message from the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle stone hidden under Tuyun Ridge. Another fourth-level intermediate-grade monster had sneaked into Tuyun Ridge using advanced earth escape techniques, and seemed ready to directly escape into the formation and start a killing spree!
"You beast, you are courting death!"

His eyes turned cold, and he immediately gave an order to kill without mercy to Stone, the golden-armored mountain turtle. At the same time, he sent a message to Zhang Liang, who was in charge of the formation, to help cover up the movement.

Rumble!
The entire Tuyun Ridge suddenly seemed to have experienced a severe earthquake. The ground began to shake violently, knocking many monks and monsters who were caught off guard to the ground.

This sudden change surprised both parties and they didn't understand what was happening.

Only Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde and other cultivators who possessed the highest authority over the formation could see that a monster resembling an armadillo and with a body length of more than ten feet suddenly broke out of the ground, spitting blood from its mouth and desperately fleeing outside the formation.

Unfortunately, it had not escaped far when a gray-yellow beam of light suddenly hit it. In the blink of an eye, its body turned into a stone statue and stood still.

However, it is also an earth-attributed monster after all, and is naturally resistant to petrification. With the explosion of the power of the demon pill in its body, it quickly dispelled the petrification power and restored its vitality.

But at this time, the golden-armored mountain-carrying turtle Stone had appeared beside it, and without hesitation spit out a gray [Yuan magnetic divine light] to hit it.

All of a sudden, a shrill howl burst out from the monster's mouth. Its body was twisted by the powerful force of the [Yuan Magnetic Divine Light] and was instantly injured both inside and outside. Not only did its skin and scales burst and bleed, but its internal organs and bones also burst and broke, directly crippling its ability to move.

Before it could even think of destroying its demon pill to death, a ferocious giant mouth full of sharp teeth bit its head and half of its body!
