Chapter 127: Unexpected Incident
When Li Yan entered the sphere, in addition to seeing a group of monks from the Wuliang Sect, he saw more corpses everywhere. It was surprisingly quiet here, so quiet that one could hear each other's heartbeats.
The sphere was filled with corpses of strange shapes and expressions. They died in a very tragic way. Some were hunched over, some were festering, some had twisted and purple faces, some had two huge eyeballs protruding out of their eye sockets, some had long tongues that hung down to their chests, some had bloody hands holding a bloody heart, and their chests were already bloody. Some were holding a head, with red and white things on their white teeth. The head was only half pulled out, and some had strange bodies twisted into a twist, and their hands had pulled out many blue veins in their legs. They were thrown all over the ground, and there were male monks of the same sex hugging each other, their faces were flushed, their bodies were naked, their lower bodies were raised, and they died in each other's arms with satisfaction on their faces...
This was the method arranged by Gong Chenying. As early as when they rushed into the magma black hole, she had calculated in her mind that in the previous clearance, the number of deaths on the road was small, or even zero, but the number of deaths in the yellow sphere began to increase dramatically, which means that the casualties on the road to the clearance are very different from those in fighting with others, and there are more uncertain factors in fighting with others.
In this way, as long as you are familiar with the attack methods of that level on the road to the clearance, you can basically pass it. So the biggest casualties still occur in the fight inside the ball. Since casualties cannot be avoided, you must reduce your own casualties in a targeted manner. After consideration, Gong Chenying decided to reduce the time on the road to pass the customs, compress the time, and arrive at the intersection of ten miles in advance. At that time, they can use the strongest means of the Wuliang Sect to ambush the enemy with poison, which is their strongest means, but this will inevitably increase the probability of casualties on the road. She thought about it in her mind and decided to use this method. Compared with the final life-and-death fight in the ball, this method can reduce the probability of death.
After she simply transmitted a few words to the monks behind her, she did not wait for their answer, and increased her speed several times. The Qi Condensation monks behind her dared not object, and gritted their teeth and followed. They all understood that the uncle in front was just notifying them, and whether they agreed or not was the same result, but in this way, Gong Chenying would also have to bear the pressure. If her decision caused too many monks to die, if they all died here in the end, it would be fine, but if they got out by chance, then the Qi Condensation monks would of course explain the situation to their own main peak elders.
The Qi Condensation cultivators here are not dead. Some of them are the direct descendants of some foundation building or even Jindan elders. For example, the fat man Mei Bucai is the direct great-great-grandson of a Jindan elder in the late stage of Laojun Peak. This fat man also joined the Wuliang Sect with the help of this relationship. It is said that when he first came, he cried and clamored to go back to carry a bird cage and was unwilling to cultivate immortality. In the end, the Jindan elder locked him up in the Jiuyan Red Fire Cellar of Laojun Peak for a whole month, waiting for him to come out. When he came out, he was as thin as a stick, and his skin was as red as blood. Later, in Mei Bucai's words, "The old guy was too vicious. He put me in the Jiuyan Red Fire Cellar and ignored me. An egg in there will be cooked in a few breaths. He could only grit his teeth and force himself to practice. Practicing resistance, even so, he was sweating profusely. The old man didn't even give him water to drink, saying that he could get water when he practiced the Cloud and Rain Technique. He was forced to practice meditation to resist the high temperature while practicing immortal arts desperately. However, the temperature there was so high that he finally practiced the Cloud and Rain Technique. As soon as he gathered some dark clouds, they were immediately evaporated by the high temperature. He was really in pain but couldn't cry. I went from 280 kg to 101 kg in a month. Water, it's all water. If anyone says that fat is fat meat again, I will fight him to death. "
However, this fat man is really amazing. He has a strong talent. With his lazy personality, he actually reached the great perfection of the Condensation Stage in just seven or eight years, and he made a good pill, but the use of this pill was too mean. Mei Bucai didn't want to participate in the Life and Death Wheel at all, but before the Condensation Stage Competition of the big sect, the Golden Pill Elder only said to him, "If you fall to the 50th place, go to the Red Fire Cellar for two months." He was so scared that he advanced to the top 49th place with his fat body shaking. If he died here, the Jindan elder would probably just ignore him. But if it was Gong Chenying's actions that caused Mei Bucai to die here, even if Wei Chongran was there, Gong Chenying would definitely be punished before she could stop.
Gong Chenying certainly had her own ideas for doing this. In addition to the increase in casualties due to speeding up on the road, the benefits were self-evident, whether from the means she could use or the predicted results. Moreover, she had considered the feasibility several times, and there should be no problem. As for the yellow sphere, as long as both parties did not enter at the same time, it would basically remain at about 40 feet. This size would be quite terrifying no matter how the poison was applied, and it would be easier to explode. In such a small space, they could set up ambushes in a targeted manner.
In this way, when they fought desperately all the way to the end, Gong Chenying took the lead in entering to detect it. When she confirmed that the other party had not arrived, she was greatly relieved. She immediately took the monks from Laojun Peak and Sixiang Peak into it to set up an ambush. Of course, she would not let Li Yan, who was in a fragmented poisonous body, go.
After they entered, Gong Chenying and the Four Symbols Peak monks began to set up a hidden formation to cover up the smell and secretly spread poison. The Laojun Peak monks also started to set up the same. Some of them placed colorless and tasteless poisonous objects; some directly used the Four Symbols Peak formation as a guide to set up various strange poisons in the formation; others used the dust on the ground inside the ball, or even light, to make a series of poisons. As long as they touched one place, it would be released continuously like a barrel of oil. Li Yan walked casually, occasionally stopping at a certain place, occasionally patting his hands a few times, and he didn't take out any porcelain bottles, let alone release his magic. This made some people speechless, wondering if this junior uncle had set up anything. The fat man Mei Bucai was sneaking around, secretly taking out some bottles and jars from his storage bag. He occasionally took out a handful of things from the porcelain bottle with a lewd smile on his face and spread them carefully. The people around him were sweating and hurriedly moved away from him. Two female cultivators blushed when they saw the powder or gas poured out by Mei Bucai. One of them kicked Mei Bucai, who was sticking out his butt with a lewd smile on his face. Mei Bucai almost rubbed the mouth of the porcelain bottle on his nose. He was shocked and turned back to glare at the junior sister, "This is my years of hard work. You almost ruined a masterpiece for no reason."
They are all veterans in using poison. Even Li Yan has nearly five years of experience. He acted very quickly. It didn't even take half an incense stick of time to fill the sphere with death. According to a cultivator who came out, that was not enough for a radius of 40 feet. It is estimated that if it was put into a small city, it would turn the small city into a dead city in an instant. It was just that it was quite comfortable to set up at that time, so they didn't care about the severity of the attack.
The reason why the monks from Lingchong Peak and Buli Peak were not allowed to enter the ball to set up an ambush together was that these two peaks were mainly used to drive away poisonous insects and beasts. Although they also refined the liquid of poisonous insects and beasts into their bodies, this kind of poison was basically used directly on the enemy. In comparison, the pre-set ambush methods of Laojun Peak and Sixiang Peak were more concealed.
However, there is another way to allow Lingchong Peak and Buli Peak to set up an ambush in advance, that is, Gong Chenying and a group of formation masters from Sixiang Peak set up a hidden formation in the ball, which can hide those poisonous insects and beasts. When the opponent enters and triggers the formation, these poisonous insects and poisons can break out of the formation. However, Gong Chenying rejected this method after consideration, because she could not be sure that because of the existence of these poisonous insects and poisons, when another opponent enters the ball, the rules in the ball will judge that both parties are already present, and automatically expand the space in the ball, so that their originally tight deployment will have a large area of loopholes. At the same time, if the rules here block the passage into the sphere because both parties have entered, those who are waiting outside the sphere for the result may end up being trapped in their own trap and can only be killed by the black shadow in the sky. She can't take such a risk. She wants to make sure that there is no life form in the sphere, so as to ensure that the rules of the sphere judge that only one party exists and the space inside the sphere will not expand.
As for the other party, if they find something wrong and run out from the passage they came from, this is another reason why she led the monks of the Four Elephants Peak to enter. Their formation is not only to hide the breath, but also to set up a one-way formation along the edge of the sphere. This formation can only be entered from one direction. If you want to go out, you need to crack it before you can, but at the same time, the attack hidden in the formation has been activated.
Li Yan and his team hid outside the sphere until the last moment before they entered the sphere, but they were still worried that the other party had not entered yet, or had just entered not long ago. If they entered at this time, it would cause a war between the two sides. In order to prevent this from happening, Gong Chenying considered it very carefully and set up a small formation at the wall of his channel. This formation had no attack effect and was purely defensive, like an isolated fortress. When the last shadow came, they immediately entered the sphere and fell into this formation, which protected their own side and isolated the opponent's attack. However, Gong Chenying had no idea about the ultimate ability of this formation. If the opponent fought desperately, the potential he could exert was immeasurable. Maybe when they entered, the formation had been broken, and they would face a dying and overwhelming counterattack.
The result obviously made them excited. Their defensive formation was still there, while the opponents seemed to have all fallen. At least from where they were standing in the formation, there was no sign of life in the ball except for them. But when Li Yan entered, he did not see the excited expressions of the crowd. Although they saw corpses all over the ground, the smiles froze on their faces, and there was more astonishment on their faces. There was a brief silence in the ball, a terrible silence, and at the same time, their faces slowly began to change into expressions of disbelief.
There were as many as fifty corpses in front of them. What made Li Yan and his group feel cold was that the clothes on the other side showed the clothes of two sects, Shibuyuan and Taixuan Sect. What was particularly frightening was that on the ground near the center of the other side of the ball, there were two people holding blue diamond crystals seven steps apart. One person was lying on his back, with only clothes soaked in black blood clinging to a skeleton frame. The clothes were also corroded and only some fragments were left on the skeleton. However, if you look closely, you can still roughly identify that it seems to be a Taixuan Sect monk. The miserable state of his head is disgusting, and a large area of skin on his face has rotted and fallen off. There is a skeleton with dozens of blood threads still attached. There are still several pieces of uncorroded flesh on several parts. A pair of eyes are dry and shriveled, with black holes in the eye sockets. The person only has two dry and shriveled black objects without liquid. One of the hands of the skeleton, which is left with only a white skeleton, holds a blue diamond crystal. Seven steps away from him, there was another person holding a blue diamond crystal in one hand, crawling on the ground with his face facing the ground, his head facing the wall of the sphere. His face could not be seen clearly, and one hand was bent into a posture, as if he was casting a spell, but his whole body was shiny red, swollen and black, and his clothes were bulging. If it weren't for the sect's uniform and a low-grade spiritual weapon, it would have burst long ago. Judging from his clothes, he was a person from the Ten-Step Courtyard.
