Chapter 290: Inside the Grand Formation
Chapter 290: Inside the Grand Formation
After making up his mind, Mu Xiaofeng said calmly: "Listen to my command later, we will charge together. The moment the formation is broken, it will be the best time for us to enter. If we miss this moment, once the formation is repaired, it will be difficult for us to enter again."
Ran Youran did not raise any objections, but simply replied: "Okay, since you know so much about the formation, I will follow your arrangements."
Mu Xiaofeng's consciousness was always locked on the formation, not daring to relax at all. He had to grasp the timing accurately to ensure that he and Ran Youran could arrive before the formation broke and rush into it at that moment. Otherwise, if the formation was repaired quickly enough in the city, they would miss the opportunity.
The monsters still pounced on the formation tirelessly. The area that Mu Xiaofeng was concerned about actually gathered dozens of third-level monsters! Under the crazy biting and pulling of these powerful monsters, cracks quickly appeared on the light curtain of the formation, but Mu Xiaofeng, who was proficient in feng shui formations, keenly realized that this formation could still hold out for a while.
When the light curtain of the formation was almost imperceptible, Mu Xiaofeng took out the Sansheng Spear and prepared. Ran Youran, who was standing by, naturally understood and took out a small sword.
"Charge!" With a sharp shout from Mu Xiaofeng, he flew across a distance of several dozen feet in an instant like an arrow from a bow, and appeared in the distance. Ran Youran was not to be outdone, and he followed closely beside Mu Xiaofeng, and his speed was not inferior to his. However, when he looked at Mu Xiaofeng, his eyes were full of disbelief. He secretly thought that Jiang Han was so fast.
It was only a few miles away, but they arrived in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Mu Xiaofeng held the Sansheng Spear tightly in his hand. Facing these low-level monsters, he didn't even need to use his spiritual skills. He only needed to inject the original spiritual energy into the spear, and with a light flick of the spear tip, countless monsters were knocked away and turned into dust in an instant. Ran Youran was not afraid either. The moment the spiritual energy was injected into the small sword in his hand, it quickly grew to more than four feet long. As he swung it, sharp sword energy whistled out, and each sword could kill a large group of monsters.
However, the number of monsters attacking the formation was too great. Although the addition of Mu Xiaofeng and Ran Youran instantly reduced the pressure on the formation, under the frantic gnawing of so many monsters, the formation was eventually overwhelmed and shattered.
"Now." Mu Xiaofeng shouted, and used the Wind and Cloud Riding Technique, and his speed increased sharply again.
Ran Youran was also shocked, but followed immediately.
Although there were many monsters, they fell in large numbers under the attacks of the two.
At the same time as a large crack appeared in the formation, the formation master inside the formation was constantly making hand gestures and arranging formation flags.
However, Mu Xiaofeng and Ran Youran were also incredibly fast. The moment they killed the third-level monster, they arrived in front of the formation.
The formation master inside also opened his eyes wide.
Without waiting for anything to be said, Mu Xiaofeng and Ran Youran had already appeared in the formation, and they killed all the monsters that came in through the gaps.
After being stunned for a moment, the formation master immediately began to repair the formation. Under the large-scale killing of the two people, the gap in the formation here was naturally shrinking without the continuous attack of the monsters. The formation master immediately dropped the formation flag and repaired the formation.
Mu Xiaofeng also instantly understood the situation of Lingfu City. Lingfu City is very large, but there are very few cultivators. Most of them are mortals. There may be only 20,000 cultivators, and there are many other mortals. The strength of these cultivators is also uneven. At first glance, they are some casual cultivators. Moreover, most of them have low cultivation. In Mu Xiaofeng's opinion, they are just Qi Refining Foundation Establishment cultivators. Qi Hai Xuan Dan cultivators are very rare, and more than 80% are Qi Refining Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The situation became stable and someone came over immediately.
"Mr. Ran, why are you here?" A man who looked like a leader came up from a distance and asked respectfully.
"What? Is it not okay for me to kill sea beasts?" Ran Youran acted very casually and replied nonchalantly.
"This...Mr. Ran is of course free to do as he pleases." the man replied.
"Are you the mayor of Lingfu City?" Ran Youran did not dwell on this issue and asked back.
"I am Rao Miaoqing, the mayor of Lingfu City." The man replied respectfully.
"City Lord Rao, what is the current situation in Lingfu City?" Ran Youran asked.
Hearing this question, Rao Miaoqing's face suddenly showed difficulty and he said: "Master Ran, this beast tide is several times stronger than before. More than half of the cultivators in the city have died. I'm afraid we can't hold out for much longer with just this seventh-level formation."
After saying this, Rao Miaoqing let out a long sigh. After all, it was the city under his management. If Lingfu City could not be defended, it would not be of any benefit to him.
However, under such circumstances, Rao Miaoqing did not abandon the city and leave, which was a bit heroic. At the same time, Mu Xiaofeng also understood why there were cultivators willing to stay and defend the city. It might have something to do with the city lord, who did not look like a sarcastic person. Maybe these casual cultivators usually regarded Lingfu City as their home, so they were willing to stay and defend the city with Rao Miaoqing.
"Didn't the Fanchen Sect send any monks here?" Ran Youran asked.
"Mr. Ran, you are joking. Although our Lingfu City is quite large, most of the people here are just low-level cultivators, and there are also a large number of mortals. Why would the Fanchen Sect send cultivators here?" Rao Miaoqing said with a self-deprecating smile.
"This...Within the territory of his Fanchen Sect, how can they just sit back and watch a beast tide happen? Aren't mortals human beings?" Ran Youran said angrily.
These words made Mu Xiaofeng look up to Ran Youran. As a talented disciple of a large sect, the city lord also called him "Young Master", which showed that they knew each other. It was not bad that a high-ranking figure could have such awareness.
"Well, there's no point in talking about this now. Let's just focus on the situation at hand."
Seeing the situation in front of him froze, Rao Miaoqing obviously didn't dare to follow Ran Youran's words, and didn't speak for a while. Mu Xiaofeng took the initiative to speak.
There was a hint of gratitude in Rao Miaoqing's eyes when he looked at Mu Xiaofeng.
"Okay." Ran Youran looked at Mu Xiaofeng and spoke along with what Mu Xiaofeng said.
At this time, a formation master suddenly came over and said, "City Lord, the formation in the west city has begun to have large cracks."
Upon hearing this, Rao Miaoqing looked at Ran Youran without saying anything.
Obviously he wanted Ran Youran to make the decision.
Ran Youran smiled awkwardly and looked at Mu Xiaofeng as if asking for help.
"Why don't we go over and take a look at the situation first?" Mu Xiaofeng understood Ran Youran's meaning and asked.
"Then let's go over there." Ran Youran quickly followed Mu Xiaofeng's words and spoke.
