Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 373 The way out
"Brother Guan, why are you so anxious? We can wait for only half a month."

The beautiful woman in blue skirt frowned and said in confusion.

The big man in black armor shook his head. "We can wait, but the Wanfamen leader can't. He sent me another message today, ordering us to take down the Ning family in three days, otherwise all the conditions he promised will be void, and he will even hold us accountable."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

The Taoist in yellow robes immediately said anxiously: "How could that person go back on his word! Didn't he say he would give us two months? And now not even a month has passed!"

The others immediately echoed, looking indignant.

After all, if they wanted to take down the Ning family within three days, they would inevitably suffer huge casualties.

The big man in black armor sighed and said, "Don't say anything more, everyone. We have no room for bargaining on this matter. We can only do it as ordered."

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Fairy Lan Meng, Fellow Daoist Qiu, the two of you stay here, and the rest of you go out and prepare first."

The rest of the people looked at each other, but because the big man in black armor had always had a high prestige, they left without saying anything.

Only the beautiful woman in blue skirt and the Taoist in yellow robe were left.

The black-armored man casually released a soundproof magic shield, and then said in a deep voice: "It seems that the lightning and fire nails have to be used. Late tonight, I will launch a general attack as a cover. The two Taoist friends will carry this treasure and launch an attack from the back of the black tortoise formation. With the power of the lightning and fire nails and the current state of the black tortoise formation, there should be a good chance of breaking it in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman in blue skirt and the Taoist in yellow robe were suddenly shocked.

"Brother Guan, this is not good. Although the treasure is powerful, you need to wait three years after using it once before you can use it again. That place in the thunderstorm sea..."

The beautiful woman in the blue dress said anxiously, but when she got to the latter part, she hesitated and stopped abruptly.

The Taoist in yellow robe continued in a hurry, "If we use the lightning and fire nails now, we won't be able to enter the thunderstorm sea! It's not even possible to enter after three years when the lightning and fire nails recover their power, because the thunderstorm sea will soon enter a calm period. We don't know when the next calm period will come, even more than ten years later. You and I can't wait that long!"

The beautiful woman in the blue dress also nodded vigorously.

The black-armored man couldn't help but show hesitation. He pondered for a moment and sighed, "How about this? I will release my golden-armored giant lizard tonight and stimulate its potential to temporarily increase its strength to the late second stage. Then we will make another general attack attempt. If it still doesn't work, you can leave as planned and use the lightning and fire nails to break the formation."

"Alas, if this happens, not only will the life span of my golden-armored giant lizard be reduced by half, but its realm will also fall to the early second stage forever."

The beautiful woman in the blue skirt and the Taoist in the yellow robe were both overjoyed.

"Brother Guan is wise. The harvest from the Thunderstorm Sea can definitely make up for his losses. We can even obtain spiritual objects that can help him form a pill." The beautiful woman in blue skirt said hurriedly.

The big man in black armor couldn't help but smile on his dark face.

……

In a huge square on Gray Sand Island.

Many disciples of the Ning family and other vassal families were either lying or sitting, their faces were pale and their breath was seriously weakened.

Those who were still able to sit took the time to regulate their breathing in an effort to recover some magic power to deal with the next round of attacks.

Wounded people were seen everywhere, with broken arms and legs everywhere. They were lying on the ground in various postures, groaning in agony, and the blood almost dyed the square red.

Several female cultivators hurriedly moved among them, casting spells one after another, using water- and wood-based healing spells such as the Spring Rain Spell and the Wood Growth Spell to heal the injured disciples.

But it was just a drop in the bucket and could only slightly alleviate their pain. After all, their realm was not high.

To truly heal, you still need healing and recovery pills.

However, the Ning family is now in serious shortage of this type of elixir, and it can only be used on the core fighters, and ordinary disciples cannot get it. In a corner of the square, five foundation-building cultivators from the Ning and Qian families gathered together.

All five of them had dim eyes, unstable spiritual pressure, and looked as if their vitality had been greatly depleted.

Especially Ning Fa’s third uncle Ning Hongye, who had already lost an arm and his strength was greatly reduced.

In these successive battles, he was severely injured. His face was as pale as gold paper and his breath was barely detectable.

"Hongye, take good care of your breathing first, and don't go up again today."

Ning Zhongyuan said to Ning Hongye.

His face looked a little pale. He was originally tall and fat, but now his cheeks have become thin, his eye sockets are sunken, and he looks obviously old, but his expression remains calm.

Ning Shaohong, who was wearing a red dress, looked at Ning Hongye worriedly. She flipped her hand, took out a pill that exuded a pure medicinal fragrance and handed it to him.

"Take this [Qi-inducing Pill] first, or you might damage your foundation."

Ning Hongye pushed it away, shook his head and said, "I can't play a big role now, it's a waste of this pill for me."

Ning Shaohong sighed lightly, and without further persuasion, put the pill away again.

Ning Zhongjiu had his eyes closed tightly, with a faint red light flickering on his body. He was trying to heal his wounds as quickly as possible. The blood on his body had already formed into scabs, and it was impossible to tell whether it was his own or the enemy's.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

Ning Zhongyuan looked solemn, and suddenly said: "The Black Turtle Sky Water Formation may only last for ten days."

"What! Didn't the previous check say it could last more than a month?"

Another middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and with a square face said in shock.

This person is also the only foundation-building cultivator in the Qian family now.

"It's probably because the loss of spiritual energy in the spiritual veins of Gray Sand Island has exceeded a certain limit, causing the loss of spiritual energy to intensify. If the opponent continues to attack like today, they may not be able to hold out for even ten days."

Ning Zhongyuan said with a long sigh.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's faces changed.

Ning Zhongjiu also opened his eyes and frowned.

Ning Zhongyuan glanced at them and suddenly said, "It seems that we have to start the backup plan in advance. Tomorrow night, Zhong Jiu and Shao Hong, you two will take the family's selected children and evacuate from the rear. Brother Qian, you should also take the flame of your family with you. I have sent a message to let Hua Rong meet you, and Hong Ye and I will guard you for the last leg of your journey. After you leave, I will detonate this formation to cause more casualties to the enemy."

"After you leave, head to Hei Ze Xian City immediately. If Xiao Fa can really find a place to live as he said, that would be great. If not, don't force it. Just find a way to go to the neighboring Feng Kingdom and Changping County to find our Ning family's main branch. Even if we have to live under someone else's roof, it's better than our branch being completely wiped out."

The air was deathly still.

Ning Hongye's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed to have no objection to his fate of staying and sacrificing himself.

The Qian family's foundation-building cultivator's face changed several times, but in the end he just sighed and stopped talking.

Ning Shaohong covered her mouth tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Ning Zhongjiu's body trembled, a look of pain flashed in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes again.
