On the high ground outside the basin, Daoist Ji had been paying attention to the bottom of the pit for the past few days. At this moment, he suddenly felt something and looked down.
Behind him, Daoist Pan also became spirited and said, "They're here."
Not long after he finished speaking, the four flying boats slowly rose from the pit, and then turned around. It seemed that they were going to another place.
Daoist Ji said indifferently, "Let's do it."
Daoist Pan nodded and raised his hand.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a huge dao formation flickering around the pit. Then, a light flashed in the sky and a withered daoist appeared above the flying boats.
His sleeves spread outwards as if he was about to release something. However, at this moment, a sword light flashed and instantly chopped him into pieces in the air!
Seeing this, Daoist Ji's expression didn't change, but Daoist Pan showed a mocking smile.
Although the withered daoist's body exploded, a black stone box appeared behind him. This thing exploded and then dozens of blood-red beads fell from the sky. They hit the four flying boats and then exploded!
A ball of dazzling light suddenly flashed in the middle of this spacious area. Then, accompanied by an earth-shattering sound, a shock wave rushed out from all directions.
Daoist Pan took out a spell and his magic power surged, pushing the shockwave to the side.
Daoist Ji stood motionless on the high ground. His expression was calm and he didn't use any magic power. When the shockwave came, even his robe didn't sway at all. It was as if he didn't exist in this world.
The beads that exploded just now were dozens of Night Blood Lightning Beads. It was like dozens of Xuan Weapons exploding at the same time. This attack was enough to deal with most people. Even if the two cultivators didn't die, they wouldn't have much battle power left.
At this moment, his gaze was focused. In the billowing dust, there was not a single flying boat left. There wasn't even a single person. It looked like they were all destroyed in this explosion.
However, at this moment, he narrowed his eyes and saw a sword light shoot out from the billowing dust!
The sword light was as fast as lightning. It pierced through his body and went straight for Daoist Pan who was behind him.
Daoist Pan was also shocked at this moment. The treasured robe on his body instantly erupted with a ball of light, but under the impact of the sword light, the light only lasted for an instant before shattering. He flew back in a sorry state, and his hair was also scattered by this shock.
At this moment, the sword light flashed again and pierced through his body. His body slightly weakened, and at the same time, a jade pendant hanging from his waist shattered.
Seizing this opportunity, he hurriedly took out a spell and stretched out his hand. The copper talisman hanging on his chest burst out with a burst of light, and a thick golden light curtain immediately spread out around him.
However, the flying sword turned around and attacked again. When the two collided, the barrier of light shook and he couldn't help but pale. However, the power of the sword was extremely great and it was extremely fast. He had no other choice but to grit his teeth and endure.
Daoist Ji didn't care about the change behind him. He took two steps forward and looked towards the pit. His gaze focused as he said, "Are they hiding there?"
He muttered something, and light flickered around him. Then, cultivators with haggard faces appeared beside him, and they all flew toward the hole in the ground.
Below the pit, Zhang Yu and the rest of the Wei Clan's army were still there.
At this moment, everyone still had lingering fear in their hearts. The scene just now was like 100 Xuan Weapons exploding. If they were still in the flying boat at that time, perhaps not many of them would have survived.
At this moment, Daoist Zuo seemed to have sensed something. He glanced at Zhang Yu, who was sitting cross-legged there, and the latter nodded at him.
He immediately floated up and came to the edge of the pit. Then, he waved his horsetail whisk and a red light flickered on his body. As a large bird-like visualization diagram flew out, waves of water gushed out from the surroundings and instantly filled the pit. At this time, several figures rushed in from the outside.
When they charged into the water, their bodies slowed down for a moment. At this moment, Daoist Zuo waved his sleeve and countless silver threads floated out. They formed a net in the waves of water. Although the daoists still maintained the momentum of breaking through, they couldn't break through in one go.
On the high ground, Daoist Pan was finally unable to withstand the attacks of the flying swords. As the light curtain was broken, he clenched his teeth and circulated his magic power. He abandoned his body and his origin soul flew out in a ray of light.
However, the sword light didn't stop after cutting off his flesh. After a turn, it chased after him. It only took a breath for it to catch up. Then, the sword light slightly shot forward like a bolt of lightning. The origin soul image was instantly shattered and turned into countless specks of light that drifted away.
At this moment, Zhang Yu's eyes moved and starlight flashed around him. In an instant, he appeared at the edge of the pit. In another flash, he was already outside. The bodies of the haggard daoists froze for a moment and then their heads fell to the ground one by one.
When Zhang Yu's figure appeared again, he was already in front of Daoist Ji. He stood in the air with his sleeves behind his back. The Cicada Sword flew from the air and circled around him before stopping beside him.
Daoist Ji stood in place without moving. He also looked up at him with an abnormally calm expression.
Zhang Yu stared at him for a moment and then waved his sleeve. Daoist Ji's figure slowly dissipated like a cloud of smoke.
He could see that this was only a projection made by magic power. The person himself wasn't here.
He looked to the side and then flicked his finger. In an instant, the corpse of Daoist Pan lying there turned into a cloud of smoke. He looked around again and saw that there was nothing outside. He reached out and grabbed the Cicada Sword and put it back into its scabbard. Then, with a flash of light, he had already landed in the pit after a breath.
After he landed, he looked at everyone and said, "The invaders have been defeated."
Everyone's tense posture immediately relaxed.
Wei Lingying walked out and said, "Xuanxiu Zhang, what should we do now? Return to the encampment?
Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Going back isn't a good choice."
Everyone was puzzled.
Zuo Xuanxiu said, "General Wei, Squad Leaders, these people obviously came for us. We heard the news of the blizzard when we arrived at the encampment. If we stopped there and didn't move at that time, could it be that they couldn't find a way to deal with us?"
Everyone present couldn't help but look thoughtful.
Daoist Zuo continued, "If we were ambushed this time, although one of the enemy's men died, they looked very casual, as if they didn't care too much about this battle. It's very obvious that they still have a backup plan.
Under normal circumstances, if the conscripted troops were ambushed outside, they would most likely choose to return to the encampment. However, I think that might be what the enemy wants us to do. "
Jin Xiaobai exclaimed, "The encampment will be dangerous? But there are three thousand soldiers and three middle-level cultivators there. "
Daoist Zuo shook his head and said, "I don't know what these people will do. However, the more the enemy wants us to do something, the more we can't comply with their wishes."
Zhang Yu said, "I've been here for the past few days. The blizzard will come in one or two days at the earliest. Sooner or later, it will come. We don't have to return to the encampment. We can find a place to hide first. After the blizzard passes, we can make plans for the next step. "
Wei Lingying thought for a moment and said, "The pit below is not bad."
Everyone nodded. There were many tunnels below, and there was enough water. Moreover, they had already taken down the dry rations, pills, and various other items from the flying ship. It was enough to last them for a long time.
Zhang Yu had no objection to this. Although the enemy seemed to be more familiar with this area, in order to deal with them, the enemy had used all the means at their disposal. Compared to other places, this place was the safest.
There was definitely more than one blizzard on this planet. However, this pit had existed here for a long time without being covered by ice and snow. There must be something special about it.
Seeing that no one objected, Wei Lingying immediately arranged for people to move down into the pit. The place where the evil god's followers lived was their first choice.
That place had been cleaned up, and the space was big enough to accommodate many people.
Zhang Yu came near the pit and looked at the bodies of the Daoists with withered faces. Their bodies under the Daoist robes were also as thin as firewood. They looked like dried corpses.
Daoist Zuo also came over at this time. He was silent for a moment and said, "This should be the Dao soldiers."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly.
Those two should be Shangchen cultivators. When he came to the outer layer, he naturally did some research on Shangchen.
Shangchen cultivators did not differentiate between good and evil, but their cultivators were far less in number than Tianxia, especially the middle and lower level cultivators. After Tianxia's Xuanting promoted the Xuanxiu lineage, the gap between the two sides was widened.
In order to make up for this gap, they sacrificed the bodies of enemy cultivators or cultivators who had made mistakes and refined them into something called a Dao soldier.
A Dao soldier would only listen to the orders of its master. If it was a high-grade Dao soldier, it could still retain a certain level of battle awareness and Abhijina spells from when it was alive. Moreover, it was all fearless of death. If it was combined with the Thunder Pearl and various Dharma Artifacts, its combat power and destructive power were very shocking.
However, this kind of practice was actually very cruel. This was because every Dao Pawn had to be refined while they were still alive in order to succeed. These Daoist cultivators would experience all sorts of cruel tortures that even Daoist cultivators found difficult to endure.
Daoist Zuo sighed and said, "Among these Dao soldiers, there might be some of our former comrades."
As he said this, he shook his head. He had been in the outer layer for a long time and had seen too many of his comrades fall. Sometimes, he also wondered when he would meet such a fate.
Zhang Yu raised his hand and pressed lightly. In an instant, the remains of these Dao soldiers turned into a pile of dust. The ground collapsed into a pit and was then buried.
Daoist Zuo looked on silently. He did not know what kind of method was buried in the Dao soldiers. This was the best way to deal with it.
