Just as the fireworks in the sky continued to explode and scatter, a bright sword light suddenly rose from the Mianlu City. Like the bright moonlight, it sprinkled into the remaining spiritual light curtain.
As for how to fight with the enemy, the Mianlu City had no requirements for the Xuan Zun like Yao Zhenjun, nor did it have a certain tactical arrangement. It just entrusted them to grasp the opportunity on their own.
Sometimes, the established strategy might not be as good as the mysterious senses of the Xuan Zun.
When Yao Zhenjun saw the spiritual light curtain open, she couldn't help but admire the methods and brilliant skills of the Hao Clan even though they were enemies. The spiritual light curtain was condensed into one, and it could be said that there was no gap between them.
At that time, it was useless for her to attack. However, now that the spiritual light curtain was damaged by the array force, the originally sturdy shield was broken layer by layer, and the enemy's heart was shaken. This was undoubtedly the best time to attack. Therefore, she made a prompt decision and slashed her sword toward the tens of thousands of enemies around her!
At this moment, in the face of the boundless and mighty enemy army, her own sword intent was also stimulated by this. Amidst the clear and melodious cry, it shot up high, and when its momentum climbed to the extreme, a sword light that was as bright as water instantly spread over a radius of over 500 kilometers, illuminating the eyes of everyone present in the battlefield!
Almost at the same time, the cultivators who exposed their auras and the Creators who were hovering outside were all slashed by this sword light!
After this light flashed for a moment, the field suddenly became quiet. A moment later, a cracking sound was heard. A crack appeared on the outer wall of one of the circular halls after the sword light slashed, and debris kept falling out. Not only this place, but the flying ship further away was also the same, and this sword mark was still spreading further away.
If one looked at it from a higher angle, they could see a sword mark extending from a flying ship hovering in the sky. It stretched for more than 3,000 miles and almost circled the entire city. All the circular halls that it passed by were all slashed by this sword light in the sky!
After Yao Zhenjun swung her sword, she felt a burst of cheers coming from her sword. She also felt unprecedentedly carefree. This was a manifestation of the improvement of her sword intent and cultivation.
However, at this moment, a series of warning signs appeared in her mind. They were frequent and numerous. She knew that once she left the city, she would be surrounded by enemies. However, she did not panic. She folded her sword and calmly returned to the high platform in the blink of an eye.
However, as soon as he landed and returned to his mind, he felt a wave of fatigue, as if he had just gone through a huge battle.
She herself didn't know that just that single sword strike from before had heavily injured two Daoist cultivators, killed six Creator cultivators, and slashed apart over seven hundred combat ships and transport-carrying airships. Moreover, countless armored soldiers had been implicated in the battle and suffered heavy casualties as well.
Furthermore, her attack was undoubtedly one disaster after another for King Xi's fleet, which had already suffered heavy losses. Originally, they were still trying to save their comrades, but they didn't expect that someone would suddenly attack them from within the city. As a result, many of them were killed by the sword light.
At this moment, she used Xuntian Dao Zhang to convey her thanks to Shi Yanxin and sat down to regulate her breathing. This was because Shi Yanxin had also acutely sensed her attack just now, and had also used the illusion to provide her with protection.
Within King Xi's army, there were many higher-ups. There were also some people who were good at defense and were ready for the enemy at any time. The moment Yao Zhenjun appeared, there were also people who had their eyes on her. If it wasn't for the influence of the illusionary realm, if some kind of magic weapon was thrown out, it would only need to trap her for a moment. Then she might be able to stay outside.
Yingxiong's side didn't make a move. Yao Zhenjun and Shi Yanxin didn't care either. This was because everyone's fighting style was different and their judgment of timing was even more different. It was up to them to decide when to make a move.
In a situation like just now, other than sword cultivators like Yao Zhenjun, who were unhindered and had high fighting spirit, most people wouldn't take the risk to make a move after careful consideration.
Now that she had retreated, the aftermath of the battle outside had yet to subside. Because they didn't know if there would be any more high-level existences in the Sleeping Foothills to stir up trouble, for a moment, no one dared to rescue their comrades. Instead, they took the initiative to retreat a little and get into position to prepare for the attack. This caused the losses of the army to increase imperceptibly.
In the main hall of the Royal Ship, King Xi stood there for a long time without saying a word. The surroundings were also deathly silent. No one dared to take the initiative to break this unusually oppressive atmosphere.
After a long time, he finally said, "Check the losses."
The commanders present all heaved a sigh of relief and acknowledged. They sent messages to all parties through the Great Sun of Creation to check the losses.
After an hour, the exact number of losses was estimated. At least 23,752 flying boats fell from the sky from the impact of the formation at the beginning and the sword slash at the end. Another 8000 flying boats were severely damaged. At present, many of them were already out of control and could fall into the category of broken ships at any time.
In other words, before the official battle had even begun, more than half of the military force brought over this time had already lost the ability to fight.
Most of the damaged flying boats were in the inner layer. Most of the flying boats in the outermost layer were spared. This was only because they were relatively far away from the city. When the impact force reached them, there were only a few aftershocks left. If it weren't for the layers of spiritual light screens arranged to protect them, the fleet of flying boats would have been wiped out this time.
After King Xi read the report, he didn't seem to be furious. He handed the battle report to the trembling Councilor Song and took a few steps forward. He stared at the Sleeping Foothills with an incomparably solemn expression.
Previously, he still regarded the Sleeping Foothills as a rebellious force that could be eradicated at any time, but now, it had risen to the level of an enemy.
It was one thing for the Sleeping Foothills to have a strong defense, but the Great City Barrier Array could actually be used for a counterattack?
And no matter how he looked at it, it looked like it had been returned after swallowing their power.
Where did the Sleeping Foothills learn this skill?
It was impossible for Lie King and the elder group to possess this kind of skill. Otherwise, they would have used it on Spirit Corner City long ago. If they had this method at that time, they wouldn't have been able to break through the pass.
And if this kind of skill could be used by others, didn't that mean that it would be very difficult for those sects on the Earth or even in the outer space to be defeated? Then perhaps the situation in the world would change again.
This kind of power that could threaten the rule of the Vast Race had to be eliminated no matter what! Moreover, he also thought that if this kind of power could be controlled by him … If he could do so, he could secure the rear while transferring more military force from the territory under his jurisdiction to complete the great task of unifying the Vast Race!
He said in a deep voice, "Pass down the order. Switch to a defensive encirclement and continue to build the city walls. Also, gather people from the rear who are good at breaking and dissolving formations here. They must come here within ten days."
Everyone also sternly acknowledged.
Actually, at this moment, King Xi wasn't the only one thinking about this problem. The spies who were watching the battle from afar and saw this scene also thought of this point.
The various forces on the Earth, whether it was the Vast Race or the various sects, were now very sensitive to the advancement of the skill because this was a matter of life and death. If they could grasp the method of setting up a formation, it also meant that they could at least resist the invasion of such a large army. This was an incomparably powerful attraction in all aspects.
They all sent messages to their own capitals or sects. At the same time, they were worried that King Xi would obtain this kind of skill. Therefore, they all suggested ways to destroy or prevent King Xi from obtaining this great formation skill.
In the main hall of the city, Zhu Zonghu looked at the spiritual light screen in the sky that was retreating into the distance. He also looked at the flying boats that were falling from time to time. He was also excited. He said, "Mister Tao, we really managed to hold on."
Zhang Yu nodded. Before they had the method to break the formation, King Xi's army probably wouldn't rashly attack again. Therefore, looking at their actions, it seemed that they were trying to encircle them.
However, if the other party thought that the formation mechanism wouldn't change after this, then they were wrong.
At this moment, his incarnation was overseeing the formation pivot, guiding and opening up more earth veins into the formation. He felt that he didn't necessarily have to fight with others to change the way of the cultivation method, but it was a good opportunity to use it on the formation first and test it out.
This method wouldn't expose his original strength, and he could also use the enemy to test and perfect it. It could be said that he was killing two birds with one stone.
After King Xi gave the order, within five days, an old Daoist came to the royal boat. However, this person wasn't his subordinate. Instead, he was an elder of the Rong You Sect, a large sect in the east. This person had volunteered to break the formation.
Beside him, Advisor Song asked, "Elder Lin, you and the Vast Race are enemies. Why are you willing to help? Moreover, those celestials are also cultivators, right? "
Elder Lin said, "Advisor Song's words are incorrect. Our sect is located in the east, and we are indeed enemies with the elders and some of the Vast Race's relatives. However, I have never had any conflicts with His Highness King Xi. For the time being, King Xi and I have the same opponent.
Moreover, those celestials have the ability to come back from the dead. In this old Daoist's opinion, although they are called celestials, they are actually celestial demons. They aren't on the same path as me, and they don't cultivate the same path as me. Why can't I break them? "
Advisor Song glanced at King Xi and said, "Then, Elder Lin came here because you have the confidence to break the formation?"
Elder Lin said confidently, "This old Daoist has studied formations for thousands of years, and I have seen most of the formations in the world. This old Daoist isn't boasting, but if this old Daoist can't break a formation in the world, then His Highness King Xi won't be able to break it either."
King Xi turned to look at Daoist Wei, who transmitted a spiritual voice, "He isn't boasting. This person does have some skills. I have heard of his abilities, and I can let him give it a try. I will handle the aftermath, so you don't have to worry."
King Xi said, "Since Daoist Lin can break the formation, then I will leave this matter to Elder Lin."
He knew very well that Elder Lin only came here to break the formation because he wanted to know the secrets of the formation. However, he didn't care about this. He could also use this person's knowledge and abilities to break the formation. After he solved the formation's secrets, he would make him hand over everything he knew, and then he would kill him.
