Chapter 36: A Pyrrhic Victory

The fierce battle lasted for three full hours. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

As a large number of recuperated demon clan monks joined the battlefield, and with the continuous bombardment of large-caliber mortars that had never appeared in the fairy world, the steel wire that was getting tighter and tighter on the battlefield finally broke in two, and the thunder even seemed to clearly hear the soft sound of "pop".

The initiative on the battlefield was finally completely in the hands of Lei Dong, and the number of birdmen, which was already less than half of the original, was finally overwhelmed by the last straw after a long battle, just as Lei Dong expected. Faced with the monks who had been completely demoralized by the impending victory, and the monks who had been bloodied by the death and injury of their relatives and friends, the birds inevitably fell into chaos.

However, this battle was by no means a one-sided massacre.

The birds, who had lost the initiative and were constantly dying and exploding in the face of the frantic and effective attacks of the monks, did not flinch, did not fear, and did not have the slightest intention of retreating. They continued to gather and launch wave after wave of sacrificial attacks against the monks. In the midst of such shocks, the monks also continued to suffer huge casualties. If it weren't for Lei Dong's proper command, the final winner of this battle would probably be undecided until the last moment.

When the last wave of nearly a million birdmen, under the attack of the monks, completely exploded into nothingness, the battlefield suddenly fell into a dead silence, everyone was silent, staring blankly at the corpses everywhere, unable to believe that what they saw was real.

So victorious?

A moment later, there were crazy roars and shouts, and they rose into the sky.

"Win! We won! A Xuan Immortal-level boss muttered to himself, the old face that was originally unmoving, tears were full of tears, and tears like spring water flowed down the corners of his eyes, dripping on the face that was crisscrossing the ravines but covered with blood, wetting his long beard and his collar, but he didn't realize it.

"Win, we win!" A monk who was only in the late stage of the True Immortal was shouting frantically, his voice was hoarse, and his body was constantly shaking, but all of this could not stop the anger, ecstasy, and sadness in his eyes. Looking around, there was not a single one out of ten cultivators like him who could survive this extremely tragic battle.

"Win, we win!" Countless monks' arms waved in the air, screaming with all their strength, crying out with joy, like madmen who had completely lost their minds, venting frantically.

Gradually, the cheers and shouts that soared into the sky turned into wanton weeping.

They won, but it was an absolute defeat! In this protracted battle, countless relatives and countless friends fell forever in the Yaochi Temple, forever on the top of Kunlun Mountain, forever on the road to break through, forever on the Motianling, forever on the side of the Shengxian Pond, and there was no way to wake up, no longer to send a friendly and cordial smile to themselves. Their blood has stained millions of miles of journey red and stained the land of the fairy world.

At the end of the battle, there were nearly 10 million disciples in the sect, and only about 1.5 million were left, and the others had been completely wiped out, and some didn't even have corpses left. The super sect that had been in the immortal realm for hundreds of millions of years had almost been completely crippled after this battle!

Even the second battalion, the sixth company and the nearly ten thousand demon clan monks of the tenth brigade, who were the last to join the battlefield, lost more than one-third.

Never in their long peaceful lives has there been such a painful and cruel experience as it is now.

It makes them feel as if they have entered a whole new world, so cruel, so real, and yet so unreal.

The cries of the monks endured.

In the center of the battlefield, there were suddenly three loud laughs of "ha, ha, ha".

But soon, the laughter became hoarse and weak like a chicken and duck with its neck broken, and the laughter was suddenly choked in the middle of the throat, making a hissing sound. The golden color was mixed with a large amount of black blood, spurting out of his mouth desperately, Mu Qing looked up to the sky and fell backwards, his face was already covered with black gas!

"Door Master!" In the exclamations of Bai Hechen and Liang Tiangeng, You Lianhua waved her hand gently, and a spiritual power void supported Mu Qingyuan's body, but her face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Even Lei Dong was taken aback, his body shook, and he flashed to Mu Qingyuan's side, and he was about to help up the body that was completely paralyzed.

From Leng Xiu'er's words, Lei Dong had already understood what Mu Qingyuan had done before. In Lei Dong's opinion, this is simply a narrow-minded, vicious, and self-righteous bastard, if it weren't for keeping him to command the millions of disciples of Kunlun Immortal Mountain more smoothly, Lei Dong would have killed this bastard who was not worthy of being a super sect master at all as soon as they met.

However, everything that happened afterwards gradually changed Lei Dong's opinion of Mu Qingyuan.

From actively cooperating with Lei Dong's command, to acting as a death squad Zhang regardless of himself, and finally setting up the Ten Directions Xuantian Cloud Formation to protect his disciples, every time, Mu Qingyuan was duty-bound, and every time, Mu Qingyuan used all his strength.

Yes, Mu Qingyuan once had selfishness, and because of this selfishness, he once brought great harm to You Lianhua and Leng Xiu'er, he once almost confined the entire sect to death, and even almost pushed the entire immortal world to the edge of the most dangerous cliff. But no one can deny that in the long and brutal battle that followed, this person was desperate for the sect wholeheartedly, and he worked hard to protect his subordinates. Not to mention anything else, if it weren't for the fact that in the final battle, he tried his best to reconnect the crucial Ten Directions Xuantian Hanging Cloud Array, and in the end, this battle would probably have a completely different ending!

Just by virtue of this, it is enough to make Lei Dong admire, and it is enough for Lei Dong to lend a helping hand when he is most dangerous, not to mention, as the sect master of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, many major directional issues in the future need to be discussed with him.

However, just as Lei Dong's hands were about to touch Mu Qingyuan's body, a gentle but irresistible spiritual power suddenly appeared under his arms and gently flicked his hands away.

Looking at it in amazement, I saw Youlianhua's face full of heaviness, and said in a deep voice: "Don't touch it, the decay water is poisonous!" ”

"Strange poison of decay water?" Bai Hechen, Hu Bicheng and Liang Tiangeng, plus a few other Xuan Immortals, had just arrived out of breath and exclaimed in unison, I don't know why. Mu Qingyuan's body, why is there such a strange poison?

Lei Dong understood in an instant, and said in a low voice: "He...... Rushing too fast, too far ahead......"

Bai Hechen and the others also understood instantly.

In the battle of Wangtian Peak, when he broke through the encirclement of the birdmen as the leader of the death squad, Mu Qingyuan almost stepped on the edge of the water god thunder and rushed into the birdman formation. That was to say, Mu Qingyuan must have been contaminated with the strange poison of decay water.

Everyone's faces became heavy and unsightly.

The people present were all well-informed, and a few of them had even experienced the battle of immortals and demons, and no one knew better than them the power of the water god thunder. This kind of king of hidden weapons handed down from ancient times, in addition to the incredible power of the explosion, the most troublesome thing is the poison of the dehydration hidden in it. This strange poison is extremely feminine and terrifying, as long as it is contaminated with a little, no matter whether you are the peak of the Golden Immortal or the power of the Xuan Immortal, you will immediately be infiltrated into the internal organs by this strange poison along the spiritual power, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, constantly encroaching and eroding the monk's body and spiritual power, and it is difficult to get rid of it throughout his life. And once this strange poison attacks violently, its strong corrosive toxicity will make the poisoned monk feel pain in his soul, and he can't wait to die at that time. Even if he can be saved, I'm afraid he will be a waste.

Immediately, these people all thought at the same time, from the poisoning of Wangtian Peak to now, several days have passed, in this process, Mu Qingyuan's battle has not stopped for a moment, how did he persist until the whole battle is completely over, in the middle, how much unimaginable pain has he endured?

Looking at Mu Qingyuan, who closed his eyes tightly and his face was getting darker and heavier, everyone was silent.

"Maybe, I still have a way," You Lianhua frowned and spoke slowly, "He is only contaminated with a little breath, and he has not yet reached the point of complete despair......

A huge lotus platform composed of spiritual power appeared under Mu Qingyuan's body, and the dense aura covered Mu Qingyuan's body silently, and the lotus platform slowly and carefully flew up, without the slightest vibration, and slowly flew towards the direction of the Ascending Immortal Pool.

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and the news spread circle by circle on the battlefield, and the battlefield slowly fell silent. Everyone stopped shouting and venting frantically, looked up at the lotus platform that was slowly flying in mid-air, and was silent. They all already knew what was going on, they already knew what their sect master had done for the victory of this battle and for the entire sect, and they knew even more that if there was no sect master, maybe they would have become a wisp of ashes between heaven and earth now.

Now, they only hope that the Great Elder, who has always been omnipotent, can drag his sect master back from the line of death......

"Wow-" A mouthful of blood spurted out, Mu Qingyuan let out a muffled snort of pain, and slowly opened his eyes.

Around, there are dilapidated houses, tattered walls, and in front of you, a huge lotus platform. The continuous spiritual power bubbled from the lotus platform into his body. A few feet away, a pair of phoenix eyes under the veil were staring at him, but there was absolutely no emotion, as if he was always so cold and so high.

The dry lips moved, but he didn't know what to say, but in his heart, he couldn't help but remember that hundreds of millions of years ago, after he was seriously injured again, it was the owner of these eyes who saved him, and twenty days ago, he was ......

Still feeling bursts of pain deep into the bone marrow in his body, Mu Qingyuan struggled violently to sit up, he knew that he was not worthy of lying here, not worthy of being treated by that person, or even worthy of facing those emotionless eyes.

A gentle spiritual power struck, tying Mu Qingyuan to the ropes one by one, and pressing him back to the lotus platform. A golden pill slowly flew to his mouth, and on the pill, the nine pill lines were like nine smart golden dragons, flashing with bursts of brilliance.

Nine turns of Jindan? Legend has it that a mortal can soar on the ground with a nine-turn golden pill? The Nine Turns Golden Pill that almost completely disappeared in the immortal world?

Mu Qingyuan completely lost his ability to think.

"Ate it. Then, be your doorman. You Lianhua said coldly, "Remember, this pill, even I was poisoned myself, I didn't want to eat it, this is what you owe me." ”

The voice was still so cold and emotionless, Mu Qingyuan closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down without arguing.

……

"What's next?" Lei Dong asked.

Mu Qingyuan in front of him, the black qi on his face had faded, and it seemed that the strange poison in his body had been completely resolved, but his cultivation had dropped directly from the middle stage of the Xuan Immortal to the early stage of the Golden Immortal. Although the Nine Turns Golden Pill was extremely powerful, it could not keep all of his cultivation while expelling the poisonous gas.

But despite this, Bai Hechen, Hu Bicheng and others still sat in Mu Qingyuan's hands, and the look on their faces was more respectful and respectful than before the war. This respect is not because of his identity as the head of the sect, but because of him as a person, because of everything he has done for the sect. Even You Lianhua sat quietly on the side, like an ordinary sect high-ranking person, not the most prestigious Great Elder.

Mu Qingyuan looked at the periphery of Shengxian Lake and let out a long sigh.

There, the disciples who survived the battle were cleaning up the battlefield, collecting the bodies of their companions one by one, cleaning them up, and tidying them up. Soon, the corpses of the monks were already piled up around the Ascending Immortal Pool. This battle is too cruel.

However, the vast majority of the monks no longer wept, their eyes were cold and hot, firm and cold. They know that in the days to come, they will suffer the same fate, maybe tomorrow, they will die in another battle, but they are not afraid, their only thought is to kill those damn birdmen, those damn demons, cleanly!

"See?" It took a long time before Mu Qingyuan withdrew his gaze and slowly spoke, but his tone was unprecedentedly firm, "The immortal realm is already destined to fall into a boundless war and chaos, but looking at their eyes, I think that next, whether it is a sect or other sects, they can only fight to the end, fight until the last moment!" ”

"As for Kunlun Immortal Mountain...... Mu Qingyuan slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Lei Dong, "Everything is under your command, but there is a life, and you will not give up!" ”

From beginning to end, Mu Qingyuan didn't say a word of thanks, there are some things that don't need to be said, but his attitude has already explained everything, from now on, Kunlun Immortal Mountain, this former super sect, will become one of the strongest teams under Lei Dong.

Lei Dong held Mu Qingyuan's hands, and was not polite, only nodded heavily: "Okay!" ”
