The altar on the high platform of the Samsara Plain shone brightly. Through the dazzling light, one could faintly see a fist-sized thing floating on the altar. It was the Living Soil. The entire Samsara Plain, the high platform, and the altar were all formed because of this piece of Living Soil.
Guo Buyi squinted his eyes and looked up without saying a word. Behind him, Mangurtai stared at him like a tiger watching its prey, paying special attention to his every move. This Five Beilei had strong muscles and excellent spells, but he also knew the power of an opponent of the same level, so he didn't dare to take Guo Buyi lightly.
Behind Mangurtai stood a few old shamans from Jianzhou. They assisted the Five Beilei to keep an eye on Guo Buyi, and were also responsible for guarding the skeleton under the altar and the unconscious Guo Jiao. These two people, one dead and one alive, could be said to be the biggest bargaining chip in Mangurtai's hands.
The entire high platform was empty and silent. What needed to be said had already been said many times, so everyone was highly nervous. Guo Buyi was indeed powerful. He had already broken the first restriction of the altar and reached his hand in.
Guo Jiao had been unconscious for a long time, and there was no movement. And the tall skeleton near her glowed red from time to time, emitting waves of frightening spiritual power. While Mangurtai stared at Guo Buyi, he also paid attention to the skeleton. He had tracked the skeleton for a long time and finally controlled it, so he really didn't feel at ease to let others guard it.
Now that the trip to Onizuka was about to be successful, Mangurtai would immediately leave with the team once he got the Living Soil. After all, the Underworld was really not a place for living people. Seeing that Guo Buyi was progressing smoothly, he had the heart to snort coldly at the skeleton, "Big brother, why did you make yourself like this? In the end, didn't you still fall into father's hands? "
The skeleton was much thicker than ordinary people, and there were a few talismans on it to seal it. However, the power contained in the skeleton was too shocking. The bones kept flashing with a red light, and a rough voice came from it, "If I don't rebel, what difference is there between me and trash like you?"
Mangurtai remained unmoved and continued to mock, "At least I'm still alive, while you, Chu Ying, are only a pile of bones left. You have cultivation but can't use it. What is there to be proud of? Soon, no one will remember your name, and the entire Nuzhen tribe will know that I am the strongest. "
The two half-brothers quarreled for a while, but suddenly they heard someone rushing over. Mangurtai narrowed his eyes and shouted at the man, "If there's anything, stand five feet away and report."
The person who came was Yang Jian. He stopped in a panic and shouted from ten meters away, "Fifth Beilei, it's bad. That brat Zhou Qingfeng is charging towards our camp with more than two hundred ghosts. "
Engdrie and Saharén had previously reported about Zhou Qingfeng leading a team to attack, so Mangurtai was still very vigilant towards this Han brat. Hearing Yang Jian's report, he frowned and shouted, "What are you panicking for? That brat's cultivation isn't high, and he's only bringing some ghosts at the first layer of Muscles and Bones. You guys still have more than sixty people, and you can't hold on? "
Yang Jian had a worried expression, "Fifth Beilei doesn't know, Ice Phoenix came with Zhou Qingfeng. That little phoenix is very sly, she can't fight, but she brought a huge ice lizard to charge. Engdrie and Saharén were put in a difficult position by her strange curse. The two commanders told me to tell Fifth Beilei, so we can be prepared. "
Mangurtai angrily scolded, "What's the use of telling me? Tell Engdrie and Saharén not to take a step back. " After scolding Yang Jian away, he turned around and shouted angrily at Guo Buyi, "Cultivator Guo, you better hurry up, don't have any crooked thoughts. Otherwise, your daughter Guo Jiao will die in my hands. "
Guo Buyi had already broken the second restriction on the high platform. He only glanced at Mangurtai's threat, and continued with his work as if nothing had happened. The Living Soil stored on the altar was almost within his reach.
Below the high platform, Engdrie and Saharén, who were responsible for guarding the stairway to heaven, were secretly complaining. They had just fought with Zhou Qingfeng not long ago, and experienced the power of this brat's cavalry formation. Mangurtai couldn't do anything about the altar's restriction, so he had no choice but to pull Guo Buyi over to break it. He ordered the two of them to guard the passage to the high platform. More than 60 people formed a formation at the bottom of the stairway.
Not long after Mangultai and Guo Buyi left, Zhou Qingfeng appeared with a hundred Frost Berserk Cavalrymen. The sound of horse hooves could be heard. In order to guard the passageway, Engudeli had already arranged over 60 of his Jianzhou elites into a spear formation. The sharp spearheads swept outwards in unison, waiting for Zhou Qingfeng to crash into them with the dense cavalry.
"Steady, steady. We won't move until that brat on the wolf rides over. "Engdrie was Nurhachi's son-in-law, so leading troops to battle was as natural as eating and drinking. At the moment, there were only about 60 people in the formation, but they were under his command in an orderly manner. Zhou Qingfeng's Frost Berserkers flashed past him about 20 meters away from the formation, but he didn't care at all and guarded the passage.
"Ignore him. That brat's subordinates are all monsters, there's no need to fight them. "Engdrie wouldn't budge even if he was beaten to death. Even though he had more than 60 subordinates, and any one of them was much stronger than the Frost Berserkers, he allowed Zhou Qingfeng to provoke him back and forth in front of the formation. He only maintained the thick formation of the army, using the principle of stability to deal with the myriad of changes.
Zhou Qingfeng rode 'Dog Meat' back and forth two or three times outside the formation, the rumbling of the hooves was deafening. However, the opponent wasn't arrogant or impatient, and didn't fall for it at all. He cursed fiercely, "These Kennu are all turtles."
He Zhuo rode together with Zhou Qingfeng, hugged his waist, and said in a low voice, "Engdrie's nickname is' Iron Wall ', and he's famous for being good at defense in the infantry formation under Nurhachi. He's patient, steady, not greedy, and not impatient. The Jurchen tribes don't like to attack the camp he built, so it's hard for them to take advantage of him. His position in Jianzhou is even higher than that of Saharén. "
Hearing He Zhuo say this, Zhou Qingfeng became even more excited. After charging diagonally, he turned his horse around, waved his hand, and shouted, "Switch to bows and arrows!"
The Frost Berserkers immediately put away their ice blades and switched to ice longbows. The spiritual arrows began to glow with white light, and as the cavalry accelerated, they got closer and closer to the spear formation. Engdrie, who was on the opposite side, immediately reacted and strengthened the defense of his formation. A thick green light appeared in the direction of Zhou Qingfeng.
The white light flew out along with the signal, condensing into a huge and swift arrow. It fiercely fell from the sky and collided with the green light of the spear formation. Although the impact of the arrow wasn't small, it was shared among the 60 people in the infantry formation. Everyone in the formation felt their hands go numb, and their legs shook slightly, dispersing the powerful attack.
Seeing that the opponent didn't dare to charge at their formation directly, and that there was no way to break through their defense from a distance, the Jianzhou troops in charge of defense felt much more at ease. On the other hand, Zhou Qingfeng, who was standing outside of the formation, gave up on his erratic and swift movements. Instead, he ordered the 100 Frost Berserkers to stop 20 to 30 meters away from the enemy's formation and fire arrows continuously.
Four or five arrows were shot in a row, but they were all blocked by the green light of the infantry formation. Although their side was unharmed, being shot at like this was extremely frustrating. Saharén, who was also defending, was extremely irritated by the provocation. He walked to Engdrie's side and said, "Let me take some people out and beat him up. It's only a distance of twenty to thirty meters, and I'll be able to charge in and out quickly. I'll definitely be able to defeat that kid. "
The 60 people in charge of defense in Jianzhou were all elites, and a sudden attack from a distance of twenty to thirty meters would be able to cover that distance in a single breath. Seeing the kid standing foolishly in front of them, many people in the infantry formation asked for permission to fight. However, Engdrie wouldn't allow it. "We just need to defend before Wubei gets the Soil of Breath. Once we get the Soil of Breath, we'll go kill to our heart's content. "
In any case, Engdrie only had one trick — I know you're very fierce when you charge, so I won't give you any chance to do so. I'll defend to the death. I won't even defend and counterattack. I'll just defend until the end, and we'll win.
Outside, Zhou Qingfeng seemed very flustered and exasperated. In one breath, he gathered spiritual energy and shot over ten arrows. In order to defend against these powerful arrows, Engdrie involuntarily strengthened the defense facing Zhou Qingfeng. The green light became thicker and thicker, and the resistance became better and better.
The only problem was that every arrow was bone-chilling. As time went on, not only did everyone in the infantry formation freeze, but the ground beneath their feet started to freeze, and even their fingers became stiff. The temperature was simply too low.
After taking a dozen arrows, Engdrie felt that something was wrong. The air he exhaled turned white, as if he was in the middle of winter. The entire infantry formation was covered in a layer of ice, and the ground beneath his feet became extremely slippery. But unless he moved, there was no way to change this situation.
"Engdrie, we can't stay like this anymore. We have to chase that kid outside away. He's definitely up to something by shooting nonstop. Even if he doesn't want to freeze us to death, he's trying to make it hard for us to stand here. " Saharén came forward to persuade him again. "Give me ten men. I'll charge forward and chase that kid away. I won't run far."
Engdrie stared at Zhou Qingfeng, who was just inches away, and finally nodded. He knew that defending without fighting back was useless. He had to go out and move around. Otherwise, not only would their morale drop, he didn't know what tricks the opponent was hiding.
Saharén immediately picked some men. The elites of Jianzhou knew what their master was going to do without much mobilization. They charged out from the infantry formation as soon as they heard the order. In a few breaths' time, they covered a distance of more than 20 meters and arrived in front of the Frost Berserk Cavalry.
Saharén, who was in the lead, swung his heavy axe. A powerful spiritual aura stretched out for several meters, and with a single breath, he smashed three or four unmoving cavalrymen and their horses into pieces. It was as if he had smashed a few ice sculptures. His ten subordinates didn't show any weakness either. They raised their weapons and charged forward, taking down more than a dozen Frost Berserk Cavalry in the front with a single wave of killing moves.
According to Saharén, Zhou Qingfeng was definitely a crafty fellow. He actually agreed with Engdrie's idea. Defending was a win. He charged out because he subconsciously felt that it was too dangerous for the enemy to be so close, so he had to chase them away. He was prepared for all possibilities — the enemy escaping, the enemy charging, the enemy surrounding them, and so on.
He just didn't expect these fearless cavalrymen to be so easy to deal with!
Something was wrong!
Saharén wasn't an idiot. Not only was he unhappy, but he was also shocked. He quickly shouted, "Retreat! Retreat to the infantry formation!"
Engdrie, who was in the infantry formation, also stared at Saharén and the others. He was stunned for a moment before he realized that the archers were just a feint. The real attack wasn't in that direction.
Engdrie quickly realized that he had overlooked the other direction of the infantry formation. His first reaction was to move the protective green light of the infantry formation to another position, but this time he was half a beat too slow. Just as Saharén and his men were about to attack, there was a faint fluctuation of light approaching from the darkness in another direction.
The darkness of the Underworld perfectly concealed this anomaly. Even though the fluctuation was very close, no one noticed it. This was because the attention of most people in the infantry formation was attracted by Saharén's attack. When Engdrie realized that the situation was a trap, the layer of light suddenly shattered like thousands of glass shards. An ice lizard covered in thick ice suddenly charged out.
There was a little girl standing on the ice lizard. Her hands suddenly emitted a dazzling light, as if a sun had suddenly appeared in the darkness. The light was so blinding that even a brave general like Engdrie couldn't look at it directly, let alone react. His heart skipped a beat. He knew that the enemy he was facing was more cunning than he had imagined.
