It was struck by a thunderbolt, and Bai Song is thoroughly remembering this, so there will be no opportunity for Han Jin, and certainly not for me! This is one of the reasons why the second group of Yazi Taoists will come forward!
In an instant, another eight people surrounded the four of us, forming a large circle. Within this circle were myself and five others arrayed in formation, ready to engage in a bout of physical combat!
I couldn't spare the time to concern myself with Han Jin's battle; I had to focus on the situation right in front of me!
The eight people surrounding us suddenly came to life, moving at incredible speeds that left nothing but faint afterimages. It was as if they had formed an impenetrable human barrier, with not even the tiniest gap visible.
The other five, arrayed in formation, gave me a feeling of being pierced by a sharpened spear at any moment.
When using an eight-person formation, their attacks are numerous and dense, giving them an advantage.
When using a five-person formation, they are as one, leaving no openings, which is another advantage!
Suddenly, the five of them charged towards me. Their synchronicity was beyond words, with almost every step they took in perfect unison.
I immediately formed hand seals to once again perform the Taoist ritual!
Almost simultaneously, a large number of black darts shot out from the bodies of the five people!
The speed was fast, and the angles were deceitful. They could injure my hands and face!
At such high speeds, I wouldn't have time to chant a spell. I suddenly stepped back and dodged.
At that very moment, a chorus of shouts rang out: "Incantation: The eight household mirrors reflect good and evil! Just like flowing water, all living beings become ghosts!"
Eight long whips surged towards me once more.
This time, I had no High Heaven staff to block the whips, so I had to quickly withdraw my High Heaven Sword.
I spun my body forcefully, shielding my chest with the sword, and slashed diagonally!
I was fast, but they were faster, and there were thirteen against one.
Even the fastest reflexes can't avoid all blind spots.
I wasn't injured by the black arrows, but I couldn't avoid all the black and red long whips. I managed to block about four of them, while the other four either struck my shoulders, back, waist, or hips.
The affected areas were all right, but one whip struck my neck just above the collarbone, where there was no clothing. The pain was excruciating, as if my skin had been split open and the flesh torn.
An ant can kill an elephant, and these Yazi Taoists aren't as weak as ants. I'm not as massive as an elephant either. I don't qualify as a huge creature.
The attack didn't stop. They pulled back the whips, the human wall continued to spin at high speed, and the five men were back in front of me. They waved their long whips, slashing my chest directly!
"Using the superior number to fight the inferior number, what kind of Taoists are you!" Behind me, Wu Jinluang shouted angrily: "If you have the guts, come and face me alone!"
"You filthy and inhuman ancestors of the underworld Taoists!"
Wu Jinluang's curse seems very vile.
He wasn't mad; he was trying to relieve my pressure by fighting to the death.
However, the thirteen people surrounding me were completely indifferent. All their attention was focused on me.
In fact, there were two injured Yazi Taoists who were approaching Wu Jinluan.
I had only killed one person earlier. Two others were injured by me, and their wounds were quite severe. Given the number requirement for the Yazi Taoists' formation, once the eight-person formation was broken, it turned into a five-person formation. Therefore, they didn't join the five.
At this moment, the two of them were flanking on either side, coldly eyeing Wu Jinluan.
Wu Jinluan was pressed against the small carriage, beads of cold sweat were flowing down his back.
My heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
I couldn't spare any attention for Wu Jinluan because the attacks targeted at me showed no sign of easing up.
I once again managed to dodge the five-person coordinated attack, and a loud shout echoed: "Straight as a spear, death for the prisoners!"
Eight black and red long whips shot out from different directions!
The thrust isn't a strike, the force like a spear can pierce through a person's body!
Between moves, they had learned my fighting technique. Coupled with their knowledge of feng shui, they had an advantage. This move locked at least three of my vulnerable spots on my body! It was unavoidable and there was nowhere to retreat!
The five people in formation did not stop their movements. They charged towards me again, with even more fierce momentum, giving me no time to breathe, relentless and menacing!
The feeling was extremely anxious.
When people are in a situation where they see no way out, they become impatient, then disorganized, and finally either give up entirely or flee in disarray.
I... have no retreat.
My body moved, trying to take care of three vulnerable spots in the first instant. If I could avoid it, I would; if not, I would block it!
I use the Taoist magic of Gao Tian, and at the moment, only that one move doesn't require me to accumulate power in advance.
"The majesty of the red sky, like lightning sweeping and speeding through the wind. The great Taoist god, holding a needle and hammer. Traveling through the three realms, hiding the light of the sun and moon. In the dark of stars and dimness of the Taiyang, ghosts cry and gods are sad! The iron-rimmed writing spear, destroying mountains and hills! Haste! Haste! As fast as a Taoist command!"
In the midst of the spell, my body was constantly changing its stance.
Of the three most critical spots, I blocked two and dodged one.
Of the other five attacks, I dodged three places, and two still hit me. One stabbed my left shoulder outside, piercing through my clothes and causing a minor external injury. The other's whip head brushed past my head, leaving a warm trail of blood.
I barely managed to avoid this move.
The five people approached my face. Suddenly, their bodies stretched out, transforming from a spear to a rope that was meant to ensnare and strangle me!
And all of them, without exception, had their hands full of black darts.
This is a deadly move!
On their own, they are no match for me, even an eight-person group is not a match. But when the two groups of Taoists work together, even with some casualties, it's hard for me to cope.
As for the mountain of Jiuqu mountain, they have killed two complete sets of Taoists, and I can only imagine how fierce the situation must have been back then.
He immediately formed a hand seal, pushing forward while also releasing a spell of thunder in his palm.
The red light simultaneously burst out from the five people as I shouted "boom boom boom boom".
With a stifled groan, blood flowed from their masks, but they endured without retreating an inch.
At that very moment, a piercing bell rang out!
This crash bell is not the same as the previous one. The bell sound from Maosan first exploded in my mind, directly affecting my consciousness.
The crash bell sound belongs to Feng Huai Gu!
It was Wu Jinluan who used this move just now!
He barely managed to move between the two injured Yazi Taoists, stepping on the eight-trigram steps.
After all, he is a master who has reached a certain level. His understanding of feng shui is deeper than that of two Yazi Taoists, and he can always avoid their moves.
He still held a slightly new crash bell in his hand, constantly shaking and striking it!
That day, Feng Huai Gu's belongings were looted by us, including the inheritance and the Daoist sanctuary for ascending to the heavens. His artifacts were presented to Fan Jie by me.
I didn't expect that after learning the inheritance, Wu Jinluan would actually create his own crash bell artifact?
He mentioned that he had this ability to protect me when we went to the White Wolf Cave beforehand.
After all, Feng Huai Gu's performance was very high. When I was surrounded by many masters and he blocked my way, his reactions exceeded that of Tian Shou Dao Ren when we came into contact.
Although that was the reason for his use of the eight-trigram steps, he didn't fear the Purple Jade Palm, which itself speaks volumes. If it wasn't for the incredibly difficult situation with the geomancy ground and his encounter with a Black Empress, Master Feng and Ding Rui Pu probably wouldn't have been able to offer much help. Moreover, Ding Rui Pu... might have wanted him dead, without even offering any assistance or even striking a hidden blow?
After all, Feng Huai Gu died quite unjustly.
My thoughts settled in an instant, affecting not only me but also the five Yazi Taoists beside me and the eight Taoists surrounding us!
This, gave me an opportunity!
Everyone is under the same spell, but my realm is higher than theirs, and I have experience!
The tip of the High Heaven Sword pointed outward, and I thrust my hand out with a sudden force. My body spun sharply!
Blood, like a fountain, gushed out!
The five people had a very synchronized formation, and they hadn't anticipated this effect, so all their vulnerable spots were exposed without any defense.
Without exception, their lower abdomen, dantian area was cut open by the High Heaven Sword!
With the help of Wu Jinluan, these five people were instantly killed!
Absolutely no more chance to eat pills, died dead!
As they all fell at the same time, I suddenly put all my weight behind my legs and jumped out of their encirclement, charging towards Wu Jinluan!
At this moment, the two Taoists who were attacking Wu Jinluan were also affected and their reaction speeds were quite slow.
The eight people in the outer circle didn't stop me. I jumped out of their formation and came to Wu Jinluan's side.
"Luo Dao Zhuang!" Wu Jinluan was overjoyed and grabbed my arm with one hand!
"Mr. Wu's clever move!" I genuinely praised him in my heart. If he hadn't come to the rescue in time, the situation would have been even more dangerous.
"Too much praise, too much praise..." A smile flushed onto Wu Jinluan's pale face.
"Alas, we came out too hurriedly. If we had known, let our disciples follow. These Taoists are too bullying. They have ten or twelve against one, and they take advantage of geomancy. They should have seen how our masters can also form an array." Perhaps being with me has given him the courage, or maybe he wasn't worried about himself. Perhaps he was just concerned about me being killed earlier.
Now, standing side by side, his composure is much more composed than mine.
The two Taoists on either side of him retreated slowly.
The damage caused by the crash bell has been eliminated.
"Wu Jinluan suddenly said, "They are afraid, Luo Dao Zhuang."
The other eight people spread out again, forming a new encirclement that surrounded me.
"You've been through a lot in the past, and you've experienced Feng Huai Gu's methods. This move, you can handle it. Their reaction speed isn't as fast as yours. Then, we are just causing ourselves harm while defeating them!" Wu Jinluan spoke with certainty.
Indeed, not only did the two injured Yazi Taoists withdraw from the eight-person formation.
The eight Taoists also maintained a relatively greater distance from me, cautiously avoiding any possibility of me collaborating with Wu Jinluan to kill them in one blow.
On the other side, Han Jun and Bai Song from White Sand Mountain were fighting fiercely.
"Wu Jinluan glanced over at that side and said in a deep voice, "This old madman may be mad, but he should know everything that the Sijiushan knows. Hei Guan Zhu should say so."
I nodded slightly, agreeing with Wu Jinluan's words.
I told the Sijiushan everything about the death of Guan Liangfei and the annihilation of Jiuqu Mountain in detail.
The most unlucky point of Guan Liangfei's death was that his body, which he believed to be his trump card after death, was actually subdued by Bai Song, caught off guard.
Bai Song had previously fallen into my trap and refused to give Han Jun the chance to draw lightning.
Han Jun also understands that they cannot truly let the two get too close, so they are now in a deadlock.
"Can the old madman keep this up for ten or eight days without getting tired?" Wu Jinluan suddenly said.
"I shake my head. "They won't get tired either."
"Hmm... They have pills. We'll have to break this deadlock ourselves..." Wu Jinluan completely shifted his focus.
On our side, we also have a stalemate. The eight-house Taoists are hesitant to be the first to attack.
They are merely far away from me, keeping their guard against me approaching Bai Song and White Sand Mountain.
"Endure a little longer, it's almost noon. Master Gong has about a dozen breaths' time, he definitely needs to kill all these people." Wu Jinluan's voice became much softer.
Mr. Wu has a different way of thinking.
What I'm thinking about is how to break the deadlock by myself, and I haven't considered so many things at the moment.
Wu Jinluan is considering the overall situation, even taking into account the moment of great yin at noon.
