Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Pang Yun frowned when he saw that the other party was going so fast, obviously unable to catch up. After a while, Tang Ning came to him in a flash of light.

"Junior Brother Pang, are you not injured?"

Pang Yun shook his head: "It's a pity that the thief escaped."

"The opponent was seriously injured and fled, so he probably has no fighting ability. Junior Brother Pang is not injured, so let's go to support Daoist Qi and the others first."

"Okay." Pang Yun nodded. As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light shot out from the distance and landed in front of the two of them. It was Zhang Chang.

The three of them briefly chatted for a few words and then headed towards the direction where Qi Yue and others were fighting.

At this moment, the entire battlefield has been completely spread out, and the two sides are fighting fiercely and in extreme chaos.

The Spirit Transformation monks each fought in a group, and the Nascent Soul monks also had their own battle lines. At this moment, Tang Ning had actually consumed more than half of his spiritual power, leaving less than 40%. If there was a melee in the wild, he would definitely choose to retreat first and hide. Go to a safe location to recover your spiritual energy.

In his current state, if he encounters a strong enemy again, the situation will not be so good.

After this fierce battle, he had killed two enemy cultivators, including a late-stage cultivator who was at the same level as him. No one could say that he did not try his best to defend against the enemy.

However, in the independent space of this formation, there is nowhere to escape even if you want to. No one can escape unless the formation flag team opens the space channel to the outside.

Therefore, the only choice is to fight to the death, either defeat the enemy or be defeated.

The three of them were fleeing in the direction of Qi Yue and the others, when suddenly there was a loud sound of golden drums behind them.

All the warships made a loud whine, which was a signal to retreat.

The three people stopped immediately and looked at each other.

"Let's go." Without any hesitation, Tang Ning turned around and flew backwards. All the troops fled in a hurry, and for a moment, they looked like they were defeated.

The Mubei coalition took the opportunity to counterattack, shouting loudly, and the situation fell into chaos. Many coalition monks who had not had time to retreat were besieged by the rebels.

Suddenly there was a loud thunder, and countless huge thunder pillars shot down from high in the sky, instantly submerging the area dozens of miles away. Many pursuing rebels fell into the sea of ​​thunder, and were hit to pieces in the blink of an eye.

It is thought that the formation flag team launched a formation restriction attack to prevent the enemy from pursuing.

Everyone hurriedly ran away, but Tang Ning flew past everyone. After walking for a while, he saw a light door standing in front of him. He was overjoyed and plunged into the room.

Following a dizzy feeling, when the light came into view again, he had returned to the Chaoyang Valley. Looking up, he saw Zhuang Qiusheng with a pale face, messy bun, and a slightly embarrassed figure. In front of the altar.

Jiang Ming stood beside him, badly injured. His left arm had been cut off by a sharp weapon. There was only a bloody, bowl-sized hole in his chest and abdomen, which was a bit scary. His face was as thin as paper, and his forehead was covered with sweat. , panting, with fear in his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Tang Ning's heart tightened and she immediately looked at the light door in front of the formation altar, fearing that the enemy troops would chase her out from inside.

From inside the light gate, monks and warships kept pouring out, scrambling one by one.

"Senior Zhuang, the enemy has been approaching the Light Gate." After a while, a monk under the formation altar shouted anxiously.

"Quickly, close the light door." Zhuang Qiusheng said decisively.

"Yes." The man responded. He saw more than ten people forming seals and casting spells together. The light of dozens of formation flags around them immediately disappeared. The light gate suspended in front of the formation altar shook violently and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Everyone present looked at each other, and they were all secretly glad to have escaped first. At this moment, the light door connecting the internal formations was closed. The consequences for those coalition forces who did not escape can be imagined.

Tang Ning watched the light gate fluctuate violently like a water curtain and then disappear. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings. After secretly feeling happy, she felt a pity that was like a rabbit dying or a fox dying.

You must know that there are still a large number of coalition monks who have not escaped. They are locked in the inner room, and the only fate waiting for them is to be slaughtered.

The cruelty of war is vividly reflected at this moment.

Although Zhuang Qiusheng's decision was cruel, it was the reality. No matter who was in that position, he would do it.

The number of coalition forces that had escaped at this moment was less than half of its original number.

"You control the formation and use restraint attacks to kill the enemy. The rest will go to their respective units and count the casualties." Zhuang Qiusheng said expressionlessly, his words fell clearly into everyone's ears, and then he flashed, He and Jiang Ming Dunguang left one after another.

Seeing the two people walking away, everyone looked at each other and left one after another.

"Junior Brother Pang, Junior Brother Zhang, let's go back to our headquarters!" Tangning said hello to the two people beside her, then she flashed to the Wind Spirit Ship of the Ninth Regiment.

There were many monks lying on the deck who were seriously injured, with broken limbs and broken arms and legs.

"Junior Brother Chen, how are you?" Tangning spotted Chen Da lying on the left side of the deck at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

At this moment, Chen Da was completely unconscious. A blood hole the size of a fist was seen penetrating his body between his lower abdomen. The blood could not stop flowing out. His breath was extremely weak. What's more terrible, all the internal organs in his body were severely damaged.

"Come here, please carry Junior Brother Chen Da into the cabin to rest." He immediately called two monks and carried him into the cabin.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, Fellow Daoist Pang, Fellow Daoist Zhang." Qi Yue's voice came from behind him. He looked back and saw Qi Yue and Meng Chang hiding from the light and striding over: "What happened to Fellow Daoist Chen Da?"

"I don't know either. As soon as I boarded the ship, I saw him lying here, his breath weak, and he was unconscious."

Qi Yue's face looked normal, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, Meng Chang's face looked a little pale, and neither of them suffered any obvious trauma.

"All three fellow Taoists are fine, that's great."

Tangning looked behind him: "Where is Fellow Daoist Ji?"

Ji Yunfei and Meng Chang had been following him during the war with the enemy, but now they were missing.

Qi Yue shook his head with a gloomy expression and sighed slightly, his meaning was self-evident: "Apart from fellow Taoist Chen Da, are any other stewards in this department injured?"

"I don't know about this. After we dispersed, I have been moving with Junior Brother Pang and Junior Brother Zhang and haven't seen anyone else."

"I have seen it all. Fellow Taoist Tang took the lead and launched an attack on the enemy's main warship to scare it away. I wanted to join you to fight against the enemy's alliance of monks, but several of the enemy's transformed monks were defeated. The monks stopped him and had to deal with them."

While the two were talking, they saw two more escaping lights coming from them. They were deputy captain Jiang Cheng and steward Zhuo Tao.

Because the Ninth Regiment was ordered to attack the enemy from the flank, it did not confront most of the Mubei Allied Forces head-on, so it was under less pressure. The enemy only sent one regiment to intercept on the flank. The difference in strength between the two sides was not large, so the casualties were relatively small. , coupled with the relatively timely withdrawal, the casualties were minimal compared to the other two regiments.

Several people briefly told their respective experiences, and then entered the cabin together.

…

In the world shrouded in gray mist, high-level officials of the Mubei Alliance gathered together. Looking around, they saw wreckage of warships and corpses strewn all around.

"Senior Jiang, all the enemy monks trapped in the formation have been wiped out and killed." In the distance, a ray of light shot out, and Ji bowed his head and saluted.

Jiang Taixuan snorted coldly: "If you don't overestimate your ability, they can run fast."

Another steward next to him asked: "Fellow Daoist Chu, why did you stop us from rushing out just now?"

"I was just worried that I had fallen into the trap of luring the enemy in, so I spoke to stop it. If you and Daoist friend Chu follow the enemy army out of the light gate and leave here, they will close the channel connecting the formation, and our two sides will be isolated. There is a risk of being defeated by each one.”

"Fellow Daoist Chu was too cautious. The enemy general fled in a hurry and his troops were defeated. It was obviously the end of the road. With the help of Daoist friend Jiang and I, if we had followed the enemy general out of this formation, we would have been like tigers among sheep. How can the enemy's ragtag army do anything to us? It's a pity that the cooked duck flew away and we missed the great opportunity to wipe out the Chaoyang Valley defenders. "

The man surnamed Chu looked displeased when he heard his words and said he was reproachful: "Did Fellow Daoist Fang blame Chu for deliberately letting the enemy go?"

"I didn't mean that, but if my fellow Taoist hadn't stopped me just now, we might have broken the formation now. Opportunities often pass by in a blink of an eye. If we all look back, even a thousand years of opportunities will be delayed. Just now it became clear It’s an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop, but it’s a pity… Please forgive me, Brother Daoist Chu, you are good at studying formations, but you are not proficient in marching and confrontation strategies. Please don’t disturb me when you confront the enemy in the future. wait."

The man surnamed Meng did not back down in his tit-for-tat rebuttal. The two of them had always looked down upon each other. The man surnamed Meng was originally dissatisfied with the fact that he, a monk in the early stage of Void Refining, seemed to be superior because of his knowledge of formations. Now he saw that because of this Because of this, he left the enemy army and became even more resentful. He didn't care about the occasion and started sarcastically sarcastically in front of everyone.

The man surnamed Chu said coldly: "Now that we have all entered the formation, even if Fellow Daoist Meng doesn't think about his own life, he still has to consider the life and death of thousands of people here! In this formation, there is no way to advance or retreat, and no one can Decisions may have unimaginable serious consequences, and we must prepare for the worst.”

"Just now, fellow Daomen Meng and Daoyou Jiang rushed out regardless and were ambushed by the enemy. We lost two generals. If the enemy turns back and joins the battle, how can we resist? Where will these thousands of people die? ?”

"I would rather let the enemy's remnants flee in defeat than risk the lives of thousands of people. This is extremely irresponsible behavior."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I would like to ask, did you say before that after entering the formation, all actions will be subject to my command and arrangement? Does this still count?"

"If any of you feels that he has the ability to break the formation and does not need Chu, Chu is willing to obey his command."

"If someone in the formation disobeys orders and acts privately, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you should ask another expert to break the formation. Chu is not qualified for this responsibility."
