Chapter 2254
Everyone from Rooster Crow Mountain had seen the brief battle between the Seven Skills Sect disciples and the sword cultivators. When Han Bing and the rest returned, no one asked.
When Han Bing flew in front of Zhan Xin, she glanced at Cui Hongshen and ignored him. She asked Zhan Xin in a low voice, "Valley Master Zhan, the sword cultivators are very aggressive today. How's your Rooster Crow Mountain's defensive array?
Can it withstand their attacks? "
"Yes, it shouldn't be a problem!"
Zhan Xin smiled apologetically. "I can't say for sure, but the array was meticulously set up by your sect's elders. It should be able to withstand the sword cultivators' attacks!"
"Alright!"
Han Bing raised her hand and said, "We'll rest for now. When the sword cultivators are tired from their attacks, we'll go out and fight again!"
"Yes, that's what I think too!"
Zhan Xin smiled. "As long as we can hold on for a few days and nights, the sword cultivators will retreat when they see that their attacks are hopeless!"
Then, Zhan Xin ordered many of his reliable disciples to guard different parts of the array.
Looking outside the array, thousands of sword cultivators had already surrounded Rooster Crow Mountain. It was only then that the scale of the thousands of people could be seen. They were so densely packed that they blocked the sky!
"Attack!"
A loud and clear voice sounded. The thousands of sword cultivators activated the flying swords under their feet at the same time. Each of them revealed their flying swords' original appearance. Without transforming, they stabbed at the Rooster Crow Mountain's defenses!
At that moment, a layer of faint brilliance flickered on Rooster Crow Mountain. It was like a light barrier that covered the entire mountain. When the thousands of flying swords stabbed the light barrier, they emitted sparks. The entire Rooster Crow Mountain was like fireworks at night, abnormally brilliant!
"It's a little strange!"
Although Xiao Hua was sitting in the guest hall, he had been releasing his Buddhist perception the entire time. He could see everything clearly. When he saw that Rooster Crow Mountain's defenses were so tight, he could not help but be surprised. "The scale of this Rooster Crow Mountain doesn't seem to be comparable to Zhong Ling Villa. Even Misty Mountain is slightly stronger than it, but why is the defensive array so powerful?
Could it be that there's something unusual in this Rooster Crow Mountain? "
When he thought of that, Xiao Hua's heart stirred. He thought to himself, "Could it be … that thing?"
Seeing the sword cultivators' flying swords attack, Cui Hongshen's face turned pale. Han Bing's cultivation in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment was forced back by two sword cultivators. Their Thunder Sect's disciples were at most in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. how could they be their opponents?
There were over a thousand of them!
It wasn't a few hundred people, nor was it a few dozen. There were only ten people in the Thunder Controlling Sect's first team. If they were spat on, they would drown!
"Rumble." There were a few faint loud noises. It was the flying swords of the two swordsmen at the sixth level of the Drawing Sword Realm piercing the light shield. The brilliance of the light shield was somewhat dim.
Fortunately, the two swordsmen seemed to be tired after stabbing a few times. They stopped and the brilliance of the light shield gradually recovered!
Zhan Xin didn't panic too much. He only released his Divine Sense and observed the state of the entire defense. After waiting for four hours, Zhan Xin waved his hand again and a small silver flag appeared in his hand. He waved it from time to time, and rays of light flew out as if he was repairing the array!
The cultivators of Rooster Crow Mountain and the disciples of Seven Possibilities Sect and Imperial Thunder Sect were also waiting for Zhan Xin's orders.
This was especially so for Cui Hongshen. It was his first time being the leader of a small team. He didn't understand how to command the disciples in battle, so he wanted to see how Zhan Xin would take charge.
Seeing that night had arrived, what was originally a lively scene of birds returning to their nests had now become the clamor of sword cultivators baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. A dozen sword cultivators dressed in the same attire stopped their attacks and formed a straight line. Under the command of an older swordsman, they urged their flying swords to continuously attack a point at the top of Rooster Crow Mountain!
The sword flowers kept appearing at the same point!
"Quick!"
Cui Hongshen was a little anxious. He pointed his hand and said, "Valley Master Zhan, there are a dozen swordsmen attacking the same place. Don't let them break the array!"
"Hehe." Zhan Xin glanced and laughed. "There's no need to be afraid!
If a normal array is attacked at the same place, it will break the restriction.
This is also a normal method to break an array. However, my Rooster Crow Mountain's array isn't afraid. After the attack, the restriction will automatically heal. It won't break because of continuous attacks at the same place! "
Indeed, after the sword flowers appeared, the brilliance of the array did not weaken because of it. Instead, the Dharmic power fluctuations on it became more vigorous.
Seeing such a situation, the dozen sword cultivators also gave up. After resting for a while, they formed a formation again and attacked the light barrier together. The light barrier glowed again.
"These sword cultivators are really persistent!
They know that they can't break it, yet they are still so respectful! "Cui Hongshen frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's a little strange!"
Zhan Xin nodded as well. "If it were a normal record, these sword cultivators would know that this place is very difficult to deal with. They would have left long ago!"
This was the second time Zhan Xin had said that. Clearly, he did not understand either.
"How long can Rooster Crow Mountain's array last?" Han Bing muttered to herself for a moment and asked softly.
"Let me tell you, Fellow Han. If these sword cultivators attack without rest, it can last for ten days!"
Zhan Xin looked at the night sky and explained, "Of course, as long as they rest for a while, this array will naturally absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and repair itself. It can also buy time!"
"Only ten days?" Han Bing's expression changed slightly. She asked anxiously, "Is Rooster Crow Mountain's Spirit Stones insufficient?"
Zhan Xin smiled bitterly. He looked to his left and said softly, "My Rooster Crow Mountain is not above the spirit vein. It's only because of that thing here that we established our foundation here. This array cannot rely on that thing and can only be supported by Spirit Stones.
Take a look, Fellow Han. This array protects the entire Rooster Crow Mountain. The amount of Spirit Stones it consumes is extremely shocking. Although my Rooster Crow Mountain is rich, it can't withstand the attacks of thousands of sword cultivators for ten days and ten nights! "
"Sigh, thousands of sword cultivators … This is indeed something that I did not expect!" Han Bing sighed. "Could it be that those sword cultivators have received some news?"
"If we look at the current situation, it is indeed a little strange!"
Zhan Xin smiled bitterly. "However, my Rooster Crow Mountain is not well-known in the Country of Xi. It seems that those sword cultivators can't possibly know anything about it, right?"
"I hope so!" Han Bing pondered. After a moment, she asked, "When should we attack?"
"Tomorrow at noon!"
Zhan Xin waved the small flag and used his Divine Thought to check for a moment before answering, "At that time, the array will have consumed thirty percent of its energy. We will go out to meet the sword cultivators and let the array absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recover some!"
"Alright!" Han Bing waved her hand and said, "We will go back and rest for now. Valley Master Zhan, inform me tomorrow at noon!"
After Han Bing left, Cui Hongshen stood for a while and asked, "I don't understand. Why don't we go out to meet the enemy now? Why wait until noon tomorrow?
Please tell me, Valley Master Zhan! "
"Hehe, it's actually very simple!"
Zhan Xin did not want to answer, but seeing that Cui Hongshen was also a helper of the Imperial Thunder Sect, he smiled and said, "These sword cultivators have just arrived today. They are like tigers in a spurt of energy. If we fight with them today, the ones who will suffer losses will naturally be us cultivators!"
"Of course I know this!" Cui Hongshen smiled and said, "I think there might be other reasons?"
"Hahaha ~" Zhan Xin laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Cui is really considerate!
I won't hide it from Fellow Daoist Cui. At noon tomorrow, my Chicken Crow Mountain's array will only have seventy percent of its usual power. It can no longer withstand a full blow from a Nascent Soul cultivator, so we need to let it recover! "
"Ah???" Cui Hongshen was shocked. "The Chicken Crow Mountain's array is so sturdy?
It can actually withstand a Nascent Soul cultivator? "
"Hehe, it's nothing much!" Zhan Xin smiled and said, "Isn't the Imperial Thunder Sect's array something that even a Nascent Soul cultivator in the late stage can't break?
Back then, the seniors of my Chicken Crow Mountain had great foresight and spent a lot of effort to set up this array because they were afraid of being harassed by sword cultivators!
Moreover, the sword cultivators in the past all retreated because they couldn't break the array! "
"Mm!"
Cui Hongshen was really shocked by the foundation of the Chicken Crow Mountain. At the same time, he thought of the words that Han Bing and Zhan Xin had just said.
"Fellow Daoist Cui, you all should go and rest too. I will have my disciples arrange a quiet room for you all!"
Zhan Xin urged. "The Seven Skills Sect's disciples have already fought once. Shouldn't your Imperial Thunder Sect also fight with us tomorrow?"
"Hehe, of course!" Cui Hongshen cupped his hands and flew down the foothills with the Chicken Crow Mountain disciples.
When the Chicken Crow Mountain disciples arranged a quiet room for Cui Hongshen and the others, who would be able to calm down?
After all, they were really going to fight with sword cultivators tomorrow. Especially … after seeing the attacks of thousands of sword cultivators and the defeat of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like Han Bing, the Imperial Thunder Sect disciples felt even more uneasy.
"Captain Cui ~ There will definitely be a battle tomorrow!"
Zhen Minghui looked at everyone and said softly, "In this subordinate's opinion, since we have already obtained the token of the Chicken Crow Mountain, we don't really need to fight to the death tomorrow. As long as we find an opportunity, we can escape early. What do you think, captain?"
Cui Hongshen glanced at Zhen Minghui and said with a bitter smile, "Senior Brother Minghui, do you think that I don't want to escape with my junior brothers?
Didn't you see the sword cultivators' stance?
They didn't plan on letting the Chicken Crow Mountain disciples escape at all!
Besides, we don't have any flying magic tools. Even if we escape … it won't be our turn!
I'm afraid that the Seven Skills Sect disciples are much faster than us! "
"That Seven Skills Sect seems to be in some kind of shady business with the Chicken Crow Mountain!"
Zhen Huo said softly, "Look at how they're sending flirtatious glances at each other. There must be some unspeakable filth!"
"Hahaha ~ Senior Brother Zhen Huo, that's not how you use flirtatious glances!"
Dui Ling laughed loudly and pointed at Zhen Huo, "How could Senior Han Bing flirtatious glances at Senior Zhan Xin?"
"Hahaha ~" Everyone laughed when they heard this. The tension in the quiet room was reduced by half.
"Yes, the Seven Skills Sect is a tool refining sect. I'm afraid that the Chicken Crow Mountain is a cultivation sect affiliated with the Seven Skills Sect!
This isn't considered strange in the Dawn Rain Continent! "
Cui Hongshen nodded and said, "This is a matter between them. It has nothing to do with my Imperial Thunder Sect. Tomorrow, we will …"
"Actually, there's no need to be so nervous." A lazy voice sounded.
