After taking advantage of the situation, Zheng Qingyuan took advantage of the opportunity and led the remaining six cultivators out of the encirclement. Then, Senior Martial Brother Fan, who was just barely fighting the other two, ripped open three life saving talismans one aime, and temporarily forced Liu Zhifei and Ji Chenglin to retreat, reuniting with Zheng Qingyuan and the others.
Seeing that the cultivators of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s side were not chasing after them, and the distance between them was safe enough, they finally relaxed and stopped on a hillside. The two groups looked at each other in the distance, but no one had the mood to move forward.
The two small teams that had rushed over to help the Opening Spirit School were defeated, but even though the three small teams from the Heaven-Shaken Sect were waiting with all they had, fighting with numbers, and had the advantage of being caught off guard, they still paid a price.
Yu Lang was severely injured, one of his arms was cut off by the Opening Spirit School team’s Zheng Qingyuan, if not mentioned, in the beginning, when the third team used to be the bait, they were surrounded by two other teams, four of them successively injured, two of them were severely injured, and they had temporarily lost their combat ability, and that was while Liu Zhifei was almost risking his life, if the fifth and seventh teams were one step slower, they would have been defeated by the third team.
Even so, although Liu Zhifei’s injuries were not considered serious because of his own tyrannical strength, the overdraft of the spirit energy in his body made it difficult for him to guaranteundred percent of his power for a short period of time.
In the end, the three small teams did not choose to chase after them. They knew that regardless of whether it was the Opening Spirit School or the Sirius Gate, sooner or later, there would be reinforcements coming for them, so it was better for them to spend all their energy chasing after the two defeated teams, and not to waste any more time to recuperate. As for the two defeated teams, it was expected that they would not have the guts to provoke the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s cultivators again before they had enough reinforcements.
At this time, the three groups of cultivators from Heaven-Shaken Sect could no longer be stingy with their Jade Coins s, jade crystals, spirit pills and the like. They all sat down cross-legged on the cliffs of the Sunset Ridge to recover their spirit energy.
Liu Zhifei directly swallowed a purple pill that was around the size of a grape, his pale white face instantly flushed red from the massive loss of spirit energy in his body. It could be seen that the pill he swallowed would at least be a spirit pellet.
“Little Yang, good job! Since you killed two people, when did you get another magic tool, a longbow?” Right now, you should be able to exchange your military exploits for a magic tool. Doesn’t that mean that you have three magic tools with you? ” Luo Bingkun smiled and asked Yang Junshan.
When the others heard his words, their gazes towards Yang Junshan also carried a hint of envy. It would be considered good enough if the three teams in Heaven-Shaken Sect had forty percent of the people who possessed magic tools, but Yang Junshan actually had three magic tools in his hands. This was already not as simple as admiration, it was even enough to reach the degree of jealousy.
“That’s right, we have more than six battle achievements now. It won’t broblem to trade for a low-grade magic tool.”
Yang Junshan could sense the hidden meaning in the gazes that were looking at him, but in such a life and death situation, concealing his strength was equivalent to seeking death. Sooner or later, his strength would be exposed to everyone, so he might as well just reveal it in a serious manner right now, which would cause people’s hearts to tremble.
Luo Bingkun apparently did not notice the change in atmosphere, and continued to speak excitedly: “A few days ago I heard that there were already three border guards who went to Sha Tian Village to change their low rank magical equipment. Now, Little Yang, you have also reached the standard, and are probably one of the top five people on the human head contribution list, so you should at least be in the top seven!”
“It’s the sixth!”
Ji Chenglin walked to Yang Junshan’s side and sized him up once, before he couldn’t help but say, “You brat, you’re really worthy of praise. I have the most accurate information regarding the Human Head Battle Merit Board, and now, you’re ranked sixth on the overall standings!”
“Alright, let’s not talk too much about it, being able to reach the list of meritorious service and getting enough meritorious service is Xiao Yang’s ability, although Xiao Yang’s cultivation is only at the second stage of martial arts realm, but in terms of true strength, other than the three of us, no one else present will be a match for Xiao Yang, not to mention Xiao Yang himself is also an array master!”
After refining the spirit pellet, Liu Zhifei had at least recovered about sixty to seventy percent of his strength. He had heard the conversation of the people earlier, and he had also taken note of the expressions of the people on the Sunset Ridge, especially the battle between Xiong Xiliang and Yang Junshan, who did not escape the attentions of the three late stage martial arts realm cultivators.
Liu Zhifei knew what a magic tool meant to the majority of the three squads of cultivators in front of him, and of course, Yang Junshan was about to get his third magic tool, he was also very aware that there waidden evil intent in the eyes of the people looking at Yang Junshan, so he stopped their discussion and exposed Yang Junshan’s strength, in order to scare them off.
Furthermore, “Liu Zhifei’s gaze swept across those people who had ill intentions, and those who met his gaze lowered their heads guiltily:” We will be fighting a fierce battle again soon, and this time we will be relying on Xiao Yang’s array formation. If everyone does not want to die, at that time, the only thing you all can do is to do your best to protect Xiao Yang from getting hurt, and that is the only way, he will be able to control the array formation as much as possible, and as long as it is not broken, we will not lose! ”
Liu Zhifei wanted to tell everyone that the danger had not passed yet, and they would have to rely on Yang Junshan if they did not want to die.
Yang Junshan naturally knew that Liu Zhifei was standing up for him, and was secretly warning those who harbouring malicious intentions. He could even feel that after Liu Zhifei had said those words, the hidden gazes that were hiddenly staring at him practically disappeared in an instant.
In terms of the range of his spiritual consciousness, Yang Junshan could not compare to the majority of cultivators of the same cultivation level, but in terms of perception within a radius of thirty to forty meters, Yang Junshan, who had experienced the array master’s technique of folding his spiritual consciousness, was far superior to everyone else.
After Liu Zhifei gave a subtle warning to everyone, he then asked Yang Junshan: “Xiao Yang, how is the progress of your formation?”
Yang Junshan smiled gratefully at him, “I’ve already completed most of it, but I still need around half an hour!”
Liu Zhifei looked at the two reinforcements who came from afar once again, and after they met up with the two teams who had been crippled by their own side, it was unknown what they were discussing, but it was clear that those people looked towards the Sunset Ridge with extremely fearful eyes, and did not immediately take action. Instead, they also stopped at the distant, slow slope, as if they were still waiting for reinforcements.
“Time to speed up!”
There was no need for Liu Zhifei to say anything, but Yang Junshan was already looking at the scene in the distance, his expression became much more serious, and said: “Don’t worry senior brother, although the array formation is not complete, but it does not mean that it cannot be activated, if they dare to attack, we can just enter the array, which will lower the power of the array formation by a few fold!”
Liu Zhifei nodded his head, but before he could say anything, a strange voice came out from the side, he snorted: “If it wasn’t for you grabbing the military achievements and shooting everywhere with your broken bow, I’m afraid the array formation would have already been completed right?”
The one who spoke was none other than the Xiong Xi Liang who was fighting with Yang Junshan previously for the human head contribution points.
Yang Junshan laughed and had no excuse, but it was Chestnut Ben who spoke in a deep voice, “Shut up, I saw what happened clearly and I can’t blame Little Yang. If it wasn’t for him restricting Zheng Qingyuan’s movements, the two teams would have already successfully broken out of the encirclement, and we wouldn’t have sucuge victory!”
Xiong Xiiliang’s face turned red as he understood what “see” was meant. It was true that the two of them fought over the human head battle, but Xiong Xiliang was the first to start a fight, while Liu Zhifei and Ji Chenglin were being held back by their Senior Brother Fan.
Just at this moment, two more squads, one in front and one behind, felt that the Opening Spirit School and the Sirius Gate’s cultivators team had already reached four. Adding on the half team that had broken through the encirclement, and six late stage martial arts realm cultivators, the other side’s strength had already surpassed the three squads that were protecting the Sunset Ridge’s entrance, let alone the fact that the other side’s four squads were powerful, and the three squads of the Heaven-Shaken Sect had more or less consumed the spirit energy in their bodies due to the previous battle.
However, Senior Brother Fan and Zheng Qingyuan had suffered too much at the hands of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, so even though the opponent had gathered enough strength, he still did not dare to directly charge into the Sunset Ridge. Instead, he sent a few cultivators to the two sides of the mountain range to search, to see if the Heaven-Shaken Sect side was ambushing anyone else.
After Sunset Ridge, the battle at Opening Spirit School’s stronghold at the border of the three counties was still extremely intense, the light rays that filled the sky brought about various colors, making half of the sky look extremely magnificent. However, the cultivators from both sides were able to clearly sense that the battle in the direction of the stronghold was slowly decreasing, which meant that the Opening Spirit School’s resistance was increasing in intensity, while the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s side was nearing victory.
He couldn’t wait any longer!
After sensing that there were no ambushes around, only these three squads of the Heaven-Shaken Sect were in line to block the source of the cultivators. The other party’s four and a half squads once again charged towards the Sunset Ridge Pass under the lead of six late stage martial arts realm cultivators.
When they saw their opponents pounce at them, the three teams under the lead of the three late stage martial arts realm arranged themselves into a formation and retreated. Even though they had been at a disadvantage from the start, they did not panic in the slightest as they slowly lured their opponents’ four teams over.
As long as we rush out of Sunset Ridge Pass, no one will linger on fighting. Immediately get rid of the people of Heaven-Shaken Sect and head to the stronghold to rescue them! ”
