Chapter 525: Chapter 120: “Old Monster in Stone” Takes Action!_2
Ma Feitui’s anger was overwhelmed by astonishment.
He kept retreating, easily widening the gap, and despite employing various methods in quick succession, he still couldn’t stop the bleeding.
Liu Er sighed deeply, watching helplessly as the opportunity for battle arose, but his side was unable to seize it.
“Even though we have chosen the Triangle Arrow Formation, which is very fast, we are still at a disadvantage in terms of speed.”
“It seems, this will be a war of attrition!”
Guan Hong, after an all-out attack, had his energy drastically drop, and he retreated back into the formation for urgent breathing control.
Liu Er, having caught his breath, grasped the Xuanhuang Sword again and stepped up to block the onslaught of the Heavenly Steed.
As he was repelled, Zhang Hei stepped up.
Ning Zhuo kept making moves, employing various Five Elements Magic spells to try to restrain Ma Feitui.
With Liu Er primarily on defense, Zhang Hei supporting, and Guan Hong on the offense, and the Military Advisor Ning Zhuo containing, their coordination became more skilled and implicit agreements quickly improved amidst the intense battle.
Even though Ma Feitui was a Nascent Soul Level Demon Cultivator, he suffered multiple injuries and found it difficult to gain an advantage in direct confrontation.
The more he fought, the more amazed he became, looking at the Three Generals Camp with newfound respect: “These people are not simple! All three generals are elites among Golden Core Cultivators, and the cultivation techniques they practice are suited for the battlefield. As for that Foundation Establishment Cultivator, his mastery of the Five Elements Realm is profound! Given time, these people will become very powerful.”
Ma Feitui started having the idea to retreat.
He had joined the Thousand Peak Forest side mainly for revenge on the Red Flower Camp.
His aggressive attack earlier was merely exploitation of the perceived weakness of the Three Generals Camp, intending to kill in anger.
However, after a direct confrontation, the battle turned out evenly matched, and he found it hard to gain any advantage.
At this moment, it would have been nice if Chen Lingfeng, Wu Hen, and others could coordinate.
But the Three Generals Camp had just abandoned the Red Flower Dharma Image, and taken the initiative to attack Chen, Wu, and other Golden Core Cultivators, killing several, causing them fright and forcing them to flee in disarray, thus eliminating this threat early on.
“Forget it, why should I clash head-on against the Three Generals Camp?”
“My real enemies are the Red Flower Camp!”
Thinking this, Ma Feitui turned around and soared into the sky.
“Don’t run!” Zhang Hei became anxious, flew out of the formation, and waved the Black Snake Spear to chase.
“Third brother, do not pursue!” Liu Er was utterly alarmed.
This was because he was still catching his breath, and Guan Hong’s previous attack left the military power in a depressed state.
Zhang Hei, engaging in battle this time, received very little support from the battle formation and military power.
“Huh?!” Ma Feitui saw this, suddenly filled with joy.
He hadn’t expected that just as he was about to withdraw, the enemy, which had been well-coordinated, would reveal such a huge vulnerability.
Ma Feitui suddenly twisted his body and spewed out a breath of metallic energy.
Qi Soldier—Cold Light Intense Shadow Spear!
Martial Arts—Return Horse Spear!
The metallic energy instantly condensed into a long spear and shot out with electrical speed.
Under the amplification of the martial arts Return Horse Spear, it reached extreme speed and ferocity.
Even Zhang Hei couldn’t react in time, watching helplessly as the Qi Soldier long spear shot towards him… and passed by.
“Third brother!” Liu Er yelled furiously, but saw that Ma Feitui had missed.
Zhang Hei, forehead sweating coldly and terrified, heard Guan Hong shout: “Not good!”
Liu Er reacted, turned his head hastily: “Military Advisor, be careful!!”
As it turned out, Ma Feitui had not missed but had aimed at Ning Zhuo, not Zhang Hei.
During the battle, the person he hated the most wasn’t anyone else, but the pesky little Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Ning Zhuo.
This man was too annoying, occupying much of his attention and energy, making the battle arduous, restrictive, and extremely stifling.
Compared to that, the straightforward and fierce battle with the Golden Core Three Generals seemed rather endearing.
Quickly!
It was as fast as lightning.
The Qi Soldier, being non-corporeal, and with Ma Feitui’s full-force shot enhanced by the Return Horse Spear, caused the Qi Soldier’s divine spear to shoot through the battle formation, reaching Ning Zhuo before he could react!
With a whoosh, the Qi Soldier shot through the formation, killing more than a dozen cultivators along the way, and grazed the ground.
The next moment, the Qi Soldier dispersed, transforming into a bundle of cold light carrying intense shadows, flying back into the mouth of the Heavenly Steed.
“Military Advisor!!!” Zhang Hei then turned his head and saw a trail of emptiness left by the Qi Soldier’s long spear passing through the dense formation.
In a moment, Zhang Hei was extremely furious, his murderous intent surging.
“Third brother, calm down! The Military Advisor isn’t dead; he triggered his talisman before the attack hit him, and he has escaped through the void.” Liu Er quickly consoled.
Zhang Hei’s anger paused, and he looked back at the Heavenly Steed: “You plague-horse, sinister and nearly took my Military Advisor’s life, come and pay with your life!”
Zhang Hei charged again.
Liu Er quickly directed the soldiers, chasing all the way.
Fortunately, having just regained his breath, the military power had recovered quite a bit, no longer as weak as before, providing Zhang Hei with more support now.
Seeing that he hadn’t killed Ning Zhuo, Ma Feitui felt regret and annoyance upon seeing Zhang Hei attack.
“Without that annoying wizard, I can give my full effort!”
“You mere Golden Core Cultivators are too arrogant!”
Ma Feitui changed his mind again, deciding to stay and continue fighting, to teach the Three Generals a severe lesson.
Targeted Teleportation Talisman!
Ning Zhuo suddenly appeared amidst the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon.
After the sudden teleportation, his body staggered, nearly falling.
“That was close, that was so close!”
Ning Zhuo looked down, just seeing the Targeted Teleportation Talisman in his embrace just burned out, turned to ashes.
This sort of Targeted Teleportation Talisman, he had gotten from the hands of Ning Jiufan in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City.
Once encountering a crisis, the cultivator can activate it voluntarily, allowing the target to escape through the void, a classic and common escape method.
