Chapter 228: Chapter 160: Talisman Treasures_2
But at a distance of one hundred meters, even if an attack was launched, the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators had ample time to respond.
The Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators were also discussing combat methods, considering how to break through the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation.”
“We three will strike at the third one on the left!” one of the Seven Sects cultivators said in a deep voice.
“We three will strike the one holding the whisk!” another Seven Sects cultivator said.
Having clashed with the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators before, they understood that at least three Seven Sects cultivators would need to collaborate, and among them, there must be at least one powerful attack, to harm the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators.
They grouped into teams of three; one team had only two cultivators, leaving Li Shiming alone in the end.
They didn’t ask anything of Li Shiming, as his task was also arduous, requiring the movement of the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation.”
The Seven Sects cultivators began adjusting their positions and took out the methods that needed a long time to prepare.
In fact, moving the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation” was not as difficult as they imagined. IBMz15 had already analyzed the surroundings. With the data generated from these analyses, moving the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation” simply involved repositioning the extracted array flags logically.
Li Shiming mobilized his Spiritual Thought and also activated the Object Driving Skill; he needed to move eighteen array flags at once.
The “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation” trembled slightly, then the Seven Sects cultivators inside sensed the range of the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation” expand forward by several tens of meters.
After placing the eighteen array flags, Li Shiming formed two connected sub-formations of the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation.”
The prepared Seven Sects cultivators all struck together, and the sudden forward movement of the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation” caught the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators off guard.
Outnumbered, among the targeted four Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators, two fell on the spot, while the remaining two were injured before they could avoid the Seven Sects cultivators’ attack.
Seeing this, Li Shiming couldn’t help but sigh internally. Even in such circumstances, two of the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators managed to escape, indicating that their protective items were very strong in defense.
However, he wasn’t worried that the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators would have many such protective defensive items, as the defensive items that Qi Refinement Realm cultivators could use were mostly one-time use.
The defensive items of the Qi Refinement Realm, especially those that could withstand a hit from someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage, were almost always one-time use items formed by powerful cultivators channeling their own defensive spells into the items.
To continually withstand attacks beyond one’s own realm, without a cost, was impossible.
This brief encounter ended with the Seven Sects gaining the upper hand, instantly reversing the numerical advantage between the two sides.
The Seven Sects cultivators had deployed four trump cards, while the attacked Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators had used up several defensive items.
Twelve cultivators from the Seven Sects against eleven from Beishu, with two of the Beishu cultivators severely injured.
The two Xuanming Sect cultivators’ eyes were fierce. They were about to order their copper corpse to charge out of the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation” for a suicidal attack when the inactive Three-headed Six-armed Copper Corpse launched its attack.
Li Shiming chose his targets, the two heavily injured Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators.
He once again pulled out the eighteen array flags from behind and then rearranged them, approaching the retreating Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators again.
The Six Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatlings of the Three-headed Six-armed Copper Corpse fired simultaneously, each Gatling firing thirty ice crystal bullets per second, each bullet possessing the power of a strike from a Qi Refining Eighth Level Cultivator.
For any Qi Refining Cultivator present, a strike from a Qi Refining Eighth Level Cultivator could be defended against without much impact.
However, when the number of strikes increased from one to one hundred and eighty, the large number induced a qualitative change.
No matter how strong a Qi Refining Cultivator was, they were still within the Qi Refinement Realm; unless they had an abnormality like Baili Jin Yan, who used materials suitable for a Golden Core Stage to cultivate Body Refining Techniques, they simply couldn’t ignore the attacks of a Qi Refining Eighth Level Cultivator.
The moment they launched the attack, the defensives of the two injured Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators were shattered. They were about to employ methods to dodge, but the assault was too intense.
Two Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators held on for a moment before they were simultaneously killed.
The Three-headed Six-armed Copper Corpse didn’t stop its assault, and the six Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatlings turned their muzzles to target another Beishu Qi Refining Cultivator still within the attack range.
In two moments, this Beishu Qi Refining Cultivator’s High Grade Defense Magic Tool, along with several defensive talismans, was all shattered.
Having paid such a price, this Beishu Qi Refining Cultivator managed to escape the attack range of the Three-headed Six-armed Copper Corpse with injuries.
The expressions of all the cultivators from both sides changed. Before, they were surprised by the special nature of the copper corpse, but now, they were terrified by the six Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatlings.
They all realized they had underestimated the situation; the truly fearsome aspect was the six Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatlings.
The Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling was simply a divine weapon for the Qi Refinement realm, delivering continuous attacks at the Qi Refining Eighth Level. All imaginable means would falter under such dense, consecutive strikes.
The Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators discovered that the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation,” combined with the combat style of the Three-headed Six-armed Copper Corpse and the Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatling, was a perfect match.
If they wanted to attack the Three-headed Six-armed Copper Corpse, they had to break the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation,” but breaking it required them to approach the Array and attack for an extended period.
However, upon approaching the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation,” they would be subjected to the attack of the six Mid-grade Magic Weapon Gatlings wielded by the Three-headed Six-armed Copper Corpse.
This formed an inescapable vicious circle, and, with the battle area not being vast for Qi Refining Cultivators, the space for maneuver was limited; they constantly had to be cautious not to be trapped somewhere.
They could not afford to leave the battlefield, as leaving would mean surrender.
Neither the Seven Sects cultivators nor the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators had the authority to surrender on their own. This was a struggle between two major powers, either victory or death.
“Fellow cultivators, protect me!” called a cultivator among the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators in a grave voice.
The other Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators were momentarily stunned, quickly understanding that this cultivator held the highest status and was backed by a Golden Core Elder.
The other cultivators could not compare with such a cultivator, and each of the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators put forth their utmost effort, unleashing a barrage of powerful maneuvers toward the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation.”
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
The burst of activity from the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators, especially the mist techniques released by several cultivators, obscured the vision of the Seven Sects cultivators.
But Li Shiming’s Spiritual Thought penetrated the fog, discovering that the cultivator behind several Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators was taking out a Talisman Treasure and sitting cross-legged on the ground.
He recognized the power of the Talisman Treasure; the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation” absolutely couldn’t withstand a strike from it.
What was a Talisman Treasure? It was a terrifying entity, not even a Late-stage Foundation Establishing cultivator could withstand its power, and it was the strongest tool passed down by a Golden Core cultivator to their descendants.
Almost without hesitation, Li Shiming’s figure was enveloped in a beam of Sword Light, which flew out of the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation.”
Sword Escape was his currently quickest short-range movement method. In such circumstances, he solely relied on speed to protect himself; the use of defense magic tools and the like was completely impossible.
Normally, no cultivator would use it in a battle, especially in such large-scale combat.
Because if hit by a mass covering spell, one would fully suffer the enemy’s attack.
Therefore, when Li Shiming used Sword Escape to fly out of the “Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation,” it was unexpected not only by the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators but also by the Seven Sects cultivators.
“Stop him!” exclaimed a Beishu Qi Refining Cultivator.
Not only did the fog block the vision of the Seven Sects cultivators, but it also affected the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators’ sight.
They struggled to track the Sword Light transformed by Li Shiming and could only cast mass covering spells ahead in the direction of Li Shiming’s movement to intercept him.
Anxious not to injure their own cultivators, their ability to cast mass covering spells was extremely limited.
