Even though the successor of the ancient witchcraft was trapped in the formation and could not escape, the battle situation in front of them was completely different from what the Gate of Dao's Venerable Ones had expected.
According to the two Gate of Dao's true disciples, Li Xiangzhou and Duan Lianbao, who had been defeated by the ancient witchcraft's successor, the enemy could command thousands of terrifying giant bugs while he would hide among the bugs and launch a fatal attack from time to time like an assassin. What was important was to hit the target in one hit and escape if it did not hit the target.
According to the Gate of Dao's Supreme Elders, this strange tactic that had never been heard of before was in line with the example of the ancient witchcraft's outstanding people who liked to create their own battle tactics. For this reason, the four old Taoists who came to the foreign world to ambush laid down the Four Image Formation that was a fierce group attack that was good at trapping the enemy and winning.
In the end, after the formation was activated, the Yin Yang Two Forms Displacement Formation that was originally thought to be a great weapon to subdue the enemy that could move the hiding body of the enemy to the formation's eye to withstand the piercing attack and could also help the person who laid the formation shift position to engage in guerilla warfare did not have a chance to use it at all since the ferocious giant eyes transformed by the successor of the ancient witchcraft did not move at all.
Due to the reason that there was only one target that covered the sky and the ground, the spells would often cancel each other out and waste their magic power. This powerless feeling of 'punching cotton with a heavy punch' inevitably made the people burn with anger.
The leopard-eyed Taoist priest, who had the most irritable temper among the people who laid the formation, was the first to lose his patience. His left hand formed a seal to activate the formation while his right hand shook the compass as he shouted, "Senior Brother Lu, this scoundrel is really a tortoise! If we continue to fight like this, when will we be able to determine the winner?
Why don't I get close to him and break his tortoise shell? What do you think? "
"Since the little scoundrel has already fallen into the formation, we'll be able to end him sooner or later. Junior Brother Song, why do you need to rush for success?
This matter is of great importance, so we must seek victory in a stable manner, "The aloof old Taoist stood on the Azure Dragon's position and controlled the overall situation as he replied without hesitation.
When the big-eyed Taoist heard this, he did not say a word. Instead, he fiercely attacked the enemy. After fighting for a while, he felt that his magic power was gradually depleted. Hastily, he hung the useless compass on his waist. He took out a peach bottle the size of a thumb from his bosom. It was carved from white jade. He bit into the bottle and poured a stream of fragrant dew into his mouth.
As soon as the immortal dew entered his mouth, his transcendence energy was replenished. The big-eyed Daoist priest let out a sigh of relief and shouted again, "Senior Martial Brother Lu, my transcendence energy is not enough, so I used a bottle of 'Peach Dew'. If we continue to fight like this, I won't be able to win.
Who would have thought that this little thief would actually be good at two 'battle techniques', one offensive and one defensive? Not to mention, he's also so cunning that he's able to see through the mysteries of the 'Four Image Fiend Formation' and blindly defend, causing a lot of our magic power to be wasted.
If we continue like this, our magic power will be slightly insufficient, and the formation will slacken, allowing him to release the swarm of insects. If we fight to the death, we might be able to escape. It's better for me to break his' turtle shell '. "
"Junior Brother Song, this time, we've brought quite a lot of magic power recovery pills and dew. Let's just play safe." The aloof-looking old Taoist, who had also begun to consume the magic power recovery pills, pondered for a while and shook his head. However, even though he still rejected the big-eyed Taoist's suggestion, his tone was no longer as decisive as before.
After all, even though the Taoist priests had prepared quite a lot of magic power recovery pills, the enemy's backup plan had not been revealed yet. More importantly, they were fighting in an 'away' game. The reason they could firmly occupy the upper hand was because they had lured the successor of the ancient witchcraft into an ambush. If the time dragged on for too long and they could not eliminate the enemy, many variables would very likely appear.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a good idea to continue this stalemate. Gradually, the aloof-looking old Taoist began to become impatient.
After pondering for a while, he drew a talisman in the air with both of his hands to activate the formation without letting up. Tactfully, he asked his Gate's fellow disciple who had always been resourceful, "Junior Brother Li, what do you think of the current situation?"
"Senior Brother, if we have the geographical advantage, no, no, even if we have the geographical advantage, it would still be a great victory for us. As long as we patiently grind on, we'll definitely be able to kill this scoundrel." The refined Taoist priest who was standing on the Vermilion Bird's position understood the meaning of the zither. Sighing softly, he told the truth, "However, it's a rotten situation now. It's not a big problem for a while, but if it drags on, then … Sigh.
By right, we've already prepared to use all of our strength even when a lion fights a rabbit, but I can't believe that we've still underestimated the heroes of the world … "
"Junior Brother Li, don't boost the morale of others and belittle our own. How can this scoundrel be considered as a hero? If it wasn't for the omniscient power that allows me to travel through the void, I'm afraid I'd be able to pinch him to death by myself. What formation would I even need?" The leopard-eyed Taoist priest shouted, "Senior Brother Lu, just let me give it a try! My Sky Shattering Technique is not for nothing!"
"Hmm …" The aloof-looking old Taoist became silent for a while and calculated the time. Then, he carefully looked at the successor of the ancient witchcraft who was surrounded by countless spells and Taoist soldiers but was not affected by any attacks at all and nodded his head solemnly. "Since Junior Brother Song wants to make a contribution in defeating the enemy, I'll fulfill your wish.
But there's one thing you must remember, be careful in everything. Don't ask for merit, just don't ask for mistakes. "
"Don't worry, Senior Brother …" Upon hearing that the old Taoist had finally agreed to his request, the big-eyed Taoist priest grinned. Mountain patterns began to appear on the palm and head of his body that was exposed outside. His body gradually grew bigger as though it was being blown, and his voice also became ancient and loud.
After he replied, he suddenly shone the copper compass in his palm that had become the size of a basket at the enemy trapped in the formation's eye. In an instant, his figure flashed and appeared next to Zhang Lisheng in just a blink of an eye.
"Break, break, break …" After the Transfiguration Transposition, the big-eyed Taoist could feel the invisible pressure around him that seemed to want to tear him apart. His warlike blood began to boil uncontrollably as he waved his fists and stomped his feet in the midst of the thunder and lightning. In a moment of excitement, he roared and sang, "A Taoist cultivates on the green mountain, hoeing the fields for half a day and idling for the other half. One day, I'll achieve the truth and break the Sky Beyond Heaven with just a wave of my fist …"
This word was extremely vulgar, but it resonated between heaven and earth like a thunderclap, yet it was indescribably vigorous and imposing.
"This song is quite straightforward. Looks like Junior Brother Song still hasn't been able to vent the anger in his heart when he was farming in the outer gate, and it still hasn't dissipated even now." Upon hearing the big-eyed Taoist priest's song, the aloof old Taoist looked at his god-like figure waving his fists and roaring in the formation's eye and suddenly shook his head with a smile. "However, even though there's resentment, he's still a true man!"
"Senior Brother Lu, you're right. As the saying goes, 'Only a true man can show his true colors, and a true hero will naturally be distinguished'. Senior Brother Song can indeed be called as a distinguished person who carries on the past and the future of our Gate of Dao." The refined Taoist nodded and praised.
The Taoist priests in the Gate of Dao in the formation had made such an evaluation of the big-eyed Taoist priest. Outside the formation, the Gate of Dao's elite disciples, who were watching the movement inside the Four Image Baleful Formation with a mercury mirror engraved with seal script on its back and seeing that they could not break through after attacking for a long time, naturally became even more excited. One by one, they exclaimed in admiration, "I can't believe that Senior Uncle Song, who usually doesn't show his talents, would actually be such a hero when he sees his true colors …"
"You said that Senior Uncle Song doesn't show his talents because you haven't seen the time when he showed his brilliance. How glorious was it for a mere outer court disciple to become a true elder? Back then, he was not called the Mountain Throwing Taoist for nothing …"
"Good song! Good lyrics! Good spirit! If there's wine, we should really drink it …" When they were talking, the big-eyed Taoist priest in the formation suddenly let out a loud howl and broke through the invisible force around him. With just one step, he appeared in front of the ferocious giant eye that was transformed by the successor of the ancient witchcraft. Waving his fist, the seven to eight meters tall figure raised his iron fist and roared, "Come to die! Come to die!" His punches landed on the giant eye.
Under the hammering of the big-eyed Taoist priest, the cracks that had already appeared on the giant red eye began to connect with each other as it continued to retreat. In a sorry state, the invisible repulsive force that it cast seemed to have disappeared without a trace. The ground was surrounded by thousands of Dao soldiers while the air was repeatedly hit by the Dao spell, causing it to fall into the dazzling fire and lightning.
It had never crossed his mind that the situation would suddenly become so good. Of course, the big-eyed Taoist would seize the opportunity to attack. The other Gate of Dao's people were also overjoyed, feeling that the victory was already in sight. Only the refined Taoist and Yu Longyu, who was watching outside the formation, faintly sensed that something was wrong.
However, both of them knew very well how powerful the Sky Shattering Technique of the Venerable Lord of Origin, one of the three saints of the ancient Gate of Dao, was. They felt that this technique was invincible in close combat, so they could not ruin the good situation just because of their little doubt.
As for the other, his words carried little weight and he did not even have the right to speak. He could only press down on his pounding heart and stretch his head to stare at the mercury mirror, silently praying that there would be no accident.
The moment Yu Longyu stretched his head out, he had somewhat blocked other people's line of sight. Originally, according to his position in the Gate, other than Lu Shangyou, Li Xiangzhou, and a few others, nobody would fuss over such a small matter with him.
However, at this moment, the battle in the Four Image Malevolence Formation was in full swing, causing the people who were watching to be mesmerized. Unable to hold back his impatience, the monkey-faced young man who was blocked hesitated for a moment before saying, "Senior Brother Longyu, c-can you move your head a little?"
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry, Junior Brother …" Yu Longyu had always been kind to others, so when he heard this, he replied without turning his head back. When he was about to move his head, he suddenly saw that the blazing flames and lightning surrounding the successor of the ancient witchcraft on the mercury mirror had suddenly dispersed.
Only a giant golden-haired ape with three heads and six arms, with a mouth full of fangs and a pair of round, emotionless eyes that were filled with coldness appeared on the formation's eye.
That ape appeared to be about the same height as the big-eyed Taoist priest who had transformed into a giant. However, in comparison, its monstrous ferocity was as though it was going to swallow the Taoist priest who was in front of it alive. Among its six thick arms, two of them grabbed the big-eyed Taoist priest's fists, two of them pinched the Taoist priest's shoulders tightly, and the last two of them locked the Taoist priest's waist.
Upon seeing this, the others were dumbfounded. The refined Taoist priest, on the other hand, already had a horrified expression on his face. Losing his composure, he shouted loudly, "Senior Brother, dodge!" Yu Longyu, on the other hand, blurted out in a low voice with a pale face, "Retreat first and then advance later, just for the sake of a thunderous strike. If it explodes, I'm afraid … I'm afraid …"
