Chapter 767: Chapter 444 Battlefield Achievements (7k)_2 Chapter 767: Chapter 444 Battlefield Achievements (7k)_2 “Yes, we will follow them from behind, launching surprise attacks from time to time, making sure they can only survive by sticking together. If they choose to cut off their losses and scatter, we assure most of the Qi Practitioners will be slaughtered.”
Zhou Wangshen also shared his own battle plan, which Chen Mobai nodded in agreement to.
Mid-air, Ai Tuo stood on the Flying Boat, looking coldly at the six figures that were faintly visible in the distance.
By his side were three Foundation Establishment cultivators from Shake Mountain Peak, some looking miserable, some full of hatred.
“Senior brother, should we really do this?”
An elder from Shake Mountain Peak next to Ai Tuo asked hesitantly.
“This is a great opportunity. If we retreat now, the Divine Wood Sect’s army will push forward, possibly even laying siege to our headquarters.”
“Though the power of our sect’s Formation could block the advance of the Divine Wood Sect’s army, it would also expose our spiritual vein land to the enemy’s attacks. If the Divine Wood Sect decides to use the Bead that Breaks Meridians, our own Formation would instead become a prison trapping us.”
“That’s why the Deputy Sect Master planned to hold the Divine Wood Sect’s army at the border. Now that it’s impossible, we have to at minimum delay their forces to buy time for our reinforcements.”
“The best method is to seize this opportunity to eliminate all advancing Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Divine Wood Sect.”
After Ai Tuo coldly laid out his plan, the three Shake Mountain Peak Foundation Establishment cultivators beside him also made up their minds to follow his lead.
“But the people from the Divine Wood Sect are just following us from a distance, not being overzealous. How can we lure them in for the kill?”
Someone raised their doubts, to which Ai Tuo responded with a cold smile, indicating that he had a plan.
Zhou Wangshen suddenly noticed the rapidly flying Flying Boat in front of him fall towards the ground. To his surprise, the 300 Qi Practitioners from Shake Mountain Peak began to scatter and flee.
“Damn it, those cowards know if they keep dragging this out until our main force arrives, they’re doomed to be annihilated. So they’re cutting losses and trying to save as many as possible.”
Seeing this, Chen Zhenwu’s expression instantly changed, and he immediately set off to pursue.
“Wait, they’re fleeing too fast, let’s report this first.”
Zhou Wangshen shared Chen Zhenwu’s sentiments, but thought he had enough time to make a call. So, to be on the safe side, he picked up his phone.
“I should be able to get there in about an hour. You guys just pursue and attack the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of Shake Mountain Peak. Compared to Qi Practitioners, taking them down yields a greater reward. I’ll have Yuan Feihu and his team support you, trying to capture these elite forces from the Shake Mountain Peak in one go.”
After receiving Chen Mobai’s orders, Zhou Wangshen confidently led his five-member team to pursue Ai Tuo and the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators of Shake Mountain Peak.
“Don’t let them escape!”
Along with a shout, the ten Foundation Establishment cultivators started fighting.
Ai Tuo, who held the highest cultivation level and had a Rank-2 Taoist body, held off Zhou Wangshen’s trio with his own power. Retreating while fighting, he shielded his fellow disciples’ withdrawal.
The ten streams of spiritual light sporadically erupted in the dark night sky. The energy of the natural world was in upheaval, with thunderous roars and gusty winds from time to time, accompanied by the clashing of metal, creating a thunderous noise.
As the fight progressed, Zhou Wangshen and the others were also gradually losing face.
Unable to overwhelm him three to one, especially Zhou Wangshen who always prided himself on being a prodigy capable of challenging those levels above him, he was unable to get the upper hand against Ai Tuo, which left him feeling frustrated.
Pushing his spiritual power to the limit, he wielded a golden spear. As the spear swung, it seemed like a dazzling meteor flashing through the night sky. A single thrust was akin to the bloom of Venus.
Meanwhile, Liang Lingzhen, standing on the back of a Rank-2 Qinghong Bird, wielded a green feather fan in his hand. With a wind blade from his fan and the support of his spirit beast, it was like a thousand blades were flying in the air, accompanying Zhou Wangshen.
Ai Tuo, gripping a Bronze Hammer, directly confronted Zhou Wangshen’s golden spear. The clash of weapons caused Zhou Wangshen’s hand to bleed and his body to retreat. However, due to the mysterious power of his Taoist Body, the blood reversed flow and the wound healed quickly.
The thousands of wind blades struck Ai Tuo’s armor, leaving marks, but failed to completely penetrate his defense.
Another stream of purple flames was shot forth that seized an opportunity to directly bomb towards Ai Tuo’s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion between his eyebrows.
In the midst of a loud rumble, a splendid purplish-red flame turned into a massive fireball in the sky, enveloping Ai Tuo.
Clutching his spear, Zhou Wangshen charged again. As expected, the smoky Ai Tuo burst out of the fireball, and the two were engaged in combat once more.
The golden spear and bronze hammer clashed, casting sparks like stars, illuminating the night sky.
Under the joint attack of the three, Ai Tuo was finally unable to hold on and started to retreat while fighting.
And the rest of the combat involving the cultivators of the two sects also moved along with these four men.
Soon, they reached a deserted mountain bathed in spiritual energy.
Zhou Wangshen, who had already entered a fiery combat mode, did not give it a second thought, only to see Ai Tuo reveal a satisfied smile, loudly laughing as he once again unleashed powerful spiritual power to push back the three of them.
