Chapter 196: Between offense and defense
Chapter 196: Between offense and defense
Thousand Poisons was not far away, tilting his head to watch the scene. He saw clearly that Yin Jin's attack was about to hit Radix Notoginseng. He even cracked a smile, showing no intention of intervening.
Oni was a bit further away. Seeing the attack approaching, her eyes turned red. She shouted and suddenly swung out a purple rainbow light. She didn't try to block Yin Jin's sword, knowing it was too late. Instead, she attacked Yin Jin himself, trying to distract him.
"Senior brother, watch out for the sneak attack!"
Big Head Zheng also didn't make a move. He just glanced from a distance. He knew both Brahman Sa and Yin Jin. Although they weren't close, he knew that this couple was not to be trifled with. He didn't want to make enemies with them.
Brahman Sa had already sat on the red cloud, looking like a mountain of flesh. She raised a chubby white hand and gently pressed it on the red cloud, causing it to suddenly sink.
Radix Notoginseng knew he was in trouble. He had already sensed Yin Jin's sword. Before he could react, he felt the red cloud above his head suddenly sink. The heavy pressure was terrifying.
Xu Zhongqing sighed and made his move.
A sword as clear and fluid as water suddenly appeared beside Radix Notoginseng.
Yin Jin sighed quietly. He didn't want to clash with Xu Zhongqing. There was a small gap in their cultivation levels, and he would definitely be at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation.
He cast a magical technique, and the sword shadow suddenly turned around, striking the purple rainbow light fiercely. Just one hit put Oni at a great disadvantage.
Thud!
A dull sound followed by an explosion: Boom!
Yin Jin didn't dare to clash with Xu Zhongqing, but he took the opportunity to strike Oni hard. His strength was far superior to Oni's. Just one hit injured her.
Oni kept retreating, her face turning pale instantly.
Injuring two people, this couple's combat experience was rich. Unfortunately, Xu Zhongqing intervened. Although Radix Notoginseng was also at a disadvantage, he managed to escape a disaster.
Seeing that they couldn't achieve their goal, Brahman Sa and Yin Jin decisively retreated, directly falling into the main peak's defense array. As they left, Brahman Sa clashed with Xu Zhongqing once, then calmly retreated.
Brahman Sa laughed loudly, "That's all you've got! Haha!"
Yin Jin didn't say a word, following Brahman Sa back into the defense array. Their sneak attack didn't achieve its initial goal, but they managed to injure two people, which was a pretty good result.
From their appearance to their retreat, it only took a few moments. They moved as fast as lightning, catching the Vast Gold Sect off guard.
Radix Notoginseng's face turned ashen. He was furious. This sneak attack had injured two of his own, and neither Thousand Poisons nor Big Head Zheng had intervened, which was infuriating.
The sneak attack disrupted Radix Notoginseng's rhythm, especially with Oni and the others injured, making them more passive.
Yu Hong laughed and came forward, saying, "When senior brother and sister make a move, it's extraordinary. Haha, injuring two people, impressive!"
Brahman Sa laughed so hard that her teeth were showing. The red cloak under her turned into a small red cloud, carrying her as she flew over. "Haha, it's nothing. If they weren't so many, we could have seriously injured Radix Notoginseng. But now, I'm afraid we won't have the chance."
Yin Jin said, "Xu Zhongqing is very strong, very strong! Be careful later."
Brahman Sa also said, "This old guy is indeed strong, but he may not be able to beat me!"
Yin Jin said, "Hmm, let's rest for a while. I guess we'll have a fight later."
They didn't leave, but started cultivating right there, each holding a top-grade spirit stone. These were provided by the Heart Sect to help them recover their strength quickly.
The Elemental Infant elders of the sect were all gathered at the main peak. They knew that once the main peak fell, everything would be over. As for the other peaks being captured, it wouldn't affect the sect for the time being.
The Vast Gold Sect had the same idea, focusing their attack on the main peak.
Countless attacks fell. Once the enemy attacked, someone would resist, preventing the attack from hitting the defense array.
The Vast Gold Sect's attack focused on one point, and the Heart Sect naturally defended at this point. After several hours of fighting, the Vast Gold Sect's attack was completely blocked due to the injuries caused by Brahman Sa's sneak attack.
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Radix Notoginseng decisively ordered to stop the attack and started to change tactics, looking for the weak point of the main peak's defense array.
Yu Hong and the others were not at ease. They didn't plan to go out and fight yet. Relying on the protection of the defense array, they had a basis for advancing and retreating.
This kind of fighting was despised by Wang Weijun. He kept muttering on the Heart Tower, "I've never seen such idiots. Defense is always more passive than attack. Attack! These fools and idiots are really stupid!"
Mi Xiaojing, who was not involved, was full of curiosity and asked, "Isn't this good? Using the defense array to slowly wear down the opponent's momentum, and then counterattack."
"Wear down the opponent's momentum? Do you think your own momentum can always be maintained? The one who is passively beaten is the one whose momentum is being worn down. Only by attacking can you boost morale. If the sect's idiots don't attack soon, hum, I think, this sect can't hold on!"
Mi Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh, "Old man, you're too arbitrary. Maybe they have some secret weapon? This is their sect that they've been operating for many years. If they don't have any secret weapons, that would be strange."
"Hmm, I hadn't considered that. The Heart Sect has such a long history, the predecessors should have left something behind. If they really didn't, this sect is quite foolish."
Mi Xiaojing was sitting at the entrance of the main hall, his hands propping up his chin. He had been looking up at the sky just now, but now he was staring into the distance. However, his Divine Sense was constantly conversing with Wang Weijun.
Mo Yuer sat huffily to one side. Even if she was slow, she had figured it out by now. Mi Xiaojing didn't like to interact with her. She had been talking for a long time, but all he had responded with were noncommittal sounds, never a complete sentence.
The young girl's eyes were spitting fire, but she couldn't curse at him. This was the first time she felt so dejected.
At this time, Wanbao and Yong Ji returned. Both of them looked somewhat tired. After returning, they didn't speak, but sat down cross-legged directly and began to recuperate and cultivate.
In fact, the battles of Foundation Establishment cultivators were also very intense. It's just that everyone's attention was focused on the Elemental Infant cultivators, so they didn't notice.
The battles of Elemental Infant cultivators were extremely exciting and dangerous, naturally attracting attention. As for those Foundation Establishment cultivators, although their battles were also dangerous, they were somewhat lacking compared to the Elemental Infant cultivators. Naturally, they didn't attract as much attention.
