Chapter 348 Two on One Fight
The situation was out of control now.
In other words, it was not controlled by Huang Jingyuan.
As for Li Ye, he never thought of controlling the situation at all.
Or, in other words, this was the uncontrollable situation he had hoped for.
After being attacked in succession, under the order of Huang Jingyuan, the Immortal Court cultivators had quickly found their own defensive and counterattack positions. They were either shrinking on the roof, hiding behind a rockery, or bowing in the woods and behind the courtyard wall. They had their crossbows at the ready and began to fight back against the demon clan cultivators.
The shooting sound of the arrows swept across the hears one after another. The arrows tore into the air, flying towards the position the opponent cultivators were guarding, hitting on the walls and trees.
On the side of the Immortal Court cultivators, Huang Jingyuan and Chen Jizhen originally had more than a dozen cultivators on each of their teams. There were more than twenty men combined, which was far more than the demon clan. However, Huang Jingyuan was assaulted by Li Ye first, which damaged most of his manpower. Chen Jizhen’s team also suffered a head-on blow. Now the Immortal Court cultivators who could fight were less than ten people altogether.
The Immortal Court and the demon clan were in a melee. The numbers on both sides were almost the same. In an instant, they were locked in a close-matched fierce battle.
However, at this point in the fight, cultivators from both sides had bunkers. If they wanted to cause casualties to the other party, it would not be so easy. In any case, cultivators from both sides were great masters before, and even now, they were still of the Warrior Mentor Realm. Ordinary sergeants could not compete with their agility and reflexes.
Seeing that the Immortal Court cultivators were furious, and fighting with the demon clan cultivators fiercely, all the Land Buddhism monks had weird looks on their faces.
Obviously, they were left aside. This was not a pleasant thing because they were being ignored. Those who were ignored usually were unimportant.
They set their sights on Feihong Bodhisattva.
Feihong Bodhisattva was not surprised.
To the Immortal Court cultivators, the demon clan was an internal problem and a challenge to the existence of the Immortal Court of the Taoist sect’s ruling order. It must be cut off first. After all in order to fix the external problems, the internal problems had to be dealt with first.
For any ruling class, suppressing internal rebellions and uprisings was more important than resisting external enemies at any time—once internal rebellions had overturned their own rule, it did not matter with them whether the country was destroyed by external enemies or not, because the state was no longer theirs.
For Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan, as Great Cultivators of the Immortal Court, they suffered continuous losses and heavy damage by a mortal that they had never taken a good look at before. This encounter was beyond their acceptable range. And their indignation had defeated reason.
Everyone had an acceptable scope for things, which was the boundary of their cognition. Once something appeared beyond this range, no matter who it was, no one could be calm and remain rational.
But Feihong Bodhisattva knew that the reason why Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan acted like so was not that they had completely lost their minds.
She knew why.
There was only one reason.
This was not difficult to guess. Because it was obvious.
The Immortal Court cultivators didn’t think much of the Land Buddhism monks.
Setting aside the numbers advantage of cultivators, Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan, as the most powerful presence of seventy-two Earth Devils, now had the cultivation of Qi-refining Level 1. Among the Land Buddhism monks, only Feihong Bodhisattva’s cultivation reached Qi-refining Level 1.
Two to one.
If Feihong Bodhisattva did not descend to the world through Kunlun and did not enter the site controlled by the Immortal Court of the Taoist sect, even if Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan joined forces, they would not be able to last a round with her.
But the situation was different now.
Feihong Bodhisattva’s strength was suppressed by the Immortal Court. It was uncertain that she would definitely win against either Chen Jizhen or Huang Jingyuan alone, much less face two of them together.
If someone else encountered the situation, the huge gap of the circumstance would be enough to make their mood unbalanced.
There was no imbalance in Feihong Bodhisattva’s mind.
She just was a bit unpleasant.
She was unpleasant anyway but even more so to be cast aside by the Immortal Court.
She glanced at the Immortal Court cultivators’ position, and her eyes were not kind.
Feihong Bodhisattva, who had always been dignified and free, had few obvious emotions in her eyes.
This showed that she was in a bad mood at the moment.
Immediately, she looked at the position of the demon clan cultivators again. She then turned her focus onto Li Ye. He was reloading his crossbow, and shot at Immortal Court cultivators. His movements were smooth and clear, and he was very skillful which showed he had demonstrated good military literacy. He looked as usual, calm and determined.
He missed the target and shot on the courtyard wall.
Feihong Bodhisattva’s eyes were slightly dimmed.
If her expression when she looked at the Immortal Court cultivators was not kind, then at this moment when she looked at Li Ye, she had a very clear murderous look in her eyes.
Her murderous look was as fierce as an ice blade.
The Land Buddhism and Immortal Court had 800 years of grudge, the Immortal Court suppressed her cultivation. Chen Jizhen and Huang Jingyuan ignored her existence as a supreme Great Power. All this just made her look unkind.
But at this moment, Li Ye, who seemed to have done nothing, gave her eyes a murderous look.
With the murderous spirit, Feihong Bodhisattva was not idle.
She naturally attacked.
Unlike the ordinary monks that were trained with strict rules and strict structure levels, which were too dull and rigid atmosphere, Feihong Bodhisattva had always been free, uninhibited and unrestrained. She did everything according to her heart’s desire.
She did whatever she wanted.
She had always had this strength.
Although her cultivation was suppressed now, her strong mentality was not damaged.
So she was still herself. Never hesitant to do what she wanted.
She reached out her hand.
The Cloth Bag Arhat bowed as he approached two steps forward and passed a long bow and arrows into her hands.
She drew her bow, and her bow was like a full moon.
The crossbow flew out with her emotions, flying straight to the target ahead.
That was her goal, and naturally it was also the Land Buddhism monks’ goal—behind her, the Land Buddhism monks had occupied various favorable positions, and they also had crossbows in their hands.
Feihong Bodhisattva’s arrow hit a person.
When the arrows flew out of her bow, it seemed that Li Ye, who was focused on fighting the Immortal Court cultivators, had already noticed it.
He wanted to dodge, but he did not.
He wanted to warn, but he did not.
Because the arrows did not come toward him.
Nor did it come toward to the cultivators of demon clan.
The arrow hit an Immortal Court cultivator!
Huang Jingyuan was stunned. Chen Jizhen was transfixed. All the Immortal Court cultivators were furious.
At least half of them turned around in a roar, their arrows hit the Land Buddhism monks fiercely.
The Land Buddhism monks were also unambiguous. When Feihong Bodhisattva attacked, the arrows in their hands shot up towards the Immortal Court cultivators. It was just that they did not have the Feihong Bodhisattva’s skill, and had not caused any casualties to the Immortal Court cultivators. When Immortal Court cultivators fought against the demon clan, naturally they would not be stupid enough to expose their bodies to the Land Buddhism monks.
The situation on the field immediately turned into the demon clan and Land Buddhism jointly battling the Immortal Court cultivators.
A two-on-one situation had taken shape.
Li Ye glanced at Feihong Bodhisattva’s location, and his eyes were full of joy. The joy was inexplicable and had a complicated meaning. One of the most obvious meanings was self-confidence.
Yes, confidence.
Li Ye knew that Feihong Bodhisattva would attack and that she would attack the Immortal Court cultivators.
This was exactly why he dared to “stir up trouble”, dared to turn around and leave, which attracted Immortal Court cultivators to chase and decisively start to fight with them.
This was the best way to break the unfavorable situation right now.
