Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 210

[Chapter 210: Defeat and Breakout (More Updates, Please Subscribe)]

Five Finger Peak.

Fang Xing rarely came out of seclusion, and he met Han Qingyun who came to report on his work.

At this time, Han Qingyun had already successfully established his foundation and became a foundation-building cultivator.

He was dressed in a green robe, looking quite high-spirited.

After all, he had the attention of Fang Xing and the full support of the supreme elder Lu Yi, and finally succeeded in building his foundation, extending his life by two centuries!

Now it is wartime again. As long as I get a few more opportunities, I can cultivate to the perfect state of foundation building in the future, and maybe I will have the chance to break through to the stage of forming a pill.

His spiritual roots were average, even poor, so he would be satisfied even if he could form a fake pill.

“Greetings, Lord General!”

Han Qingyun bowed respectfully. It was obvious that he knew who Fang Xing’s real backer was. Even when Fang Xing was in seclusion and not seeing guests, he would often come to see him, hoping that he might be lucky enough to meet him.

Now that I have the chance, I will definitely show off my face.

“Um…what’s going on lately?”

Fang Xing stood on the cliff, with his hands behind his back. He had an air of immortality all around him, as if he was about to fly up into the air at any moment.

“The remnants of the Wang family who had been roaming around were captured. A fierce battle took place near Sanyin Pond, and the last foundation-building cultivator was killed…”

“The foundation-building forces in the entire Five Elements Sect have been completely pacified.”

Han Qingyun reported respectfully.

He is considered as a channel of information for Fang Xing besides Lu Yi.

He who listens to both sides will be enlightened, while he who only listens to one side will be in the dark. Those in power should still keep the information channels open.

Otherwise, the enemy might come to your doorstep and you’d think you’re invincible.

“Unconsciously, so many years have passed…”

Fang Xing looked towards the direction of the Musha Sect: “It is said that the fighting over there was fierce. The Musha Sect arranged a quasi-fourth-level formation… Uncle Fu even used the fourth-level earth vein beads. But… there should be good news recently, right?”

The biggest weakness of the Musha Sect is the lack of spiritual energy in its veins. After all, it is only a Jindan force and occupies only a third-grade upper-quality spiritual vein.

To set up a quasi-fourth-level formation, a large amount of spirit stones would be consumed.

And when there are frequent battles like this and the formation needs to be kept at its peak power at all times, the consumption of spirit stones is like a mountain of sea.

After several years of continuous wars, it is said that the spiritual veins of the Musha Sect have been shrinking. After the Musha Sect is conquered, it is likely to be downgraded.

Han Qingyun felt a little chilly.

Such a brutal battle is rare in the world of immortal cultivation.

“More importantly… why?”

Fang Xing’s eyes were deep: “Why do we have to defend the Musha Sect to the death… Use the terrain of the five sects and ten countries to continuously block the attack, sacrifice the Musha Sect, Zhen Huan Dao, and Xuehe Palace one by one, block the pace of our army, and continuously consume the sharpness of the sword cultivators… Wait until our army goes deep into the enemy’s territory alone, and then wait for us to tire ourselves out in the southern Wanxiang Sect’s homeland. This is the normal way of fighting!”

After all, he was a fish that slipped through the Blue Star Federation’s compulsory education net—no, he was an elite!
He had taken the command and combat course.

Han Qingyun was completely confused.

As a cultivator, if he were asked to practice and fight, he might be very good at it, but he might be barely good at making pills and drawing talismans.

Recently, I have taken some time out of my busy schedule to study the art of refining weapons.

But he had never learned this kind of military strategy, let alone paid attention to it.

After all, in the minds of immortal cultivators, military books and the like are just games played by mortals.

“A rotten tree cannot be carved…”

Seeing Han Qingyun with a confused look on his face, Fang Xing shook his head, too lazy to explain to him.

Swish!
At this moment, a sword sound suddenly came from the sky!
This sword sound was sharp and rapid…with the meaning of golden swords and iron horses.

“A flying sword delivering a letter?”

Han Qingyun looked up in astonishment: “Is it the highest level of flying sword transmission?”

He saw Fang Xing make a seal and casually grasp the flying sword. He scanned it with his spiritual sense and his expression changed slightly. He first pondered, and then a hint of sneer emerged: “Han Qingyun!”

“Disciple is here!”

Han Qingyun bowed quickly.

“Go and ring the bell… there is going to be a catastrophe.”

Fang Xing held the flying sword in his hand and spoke calmly.

“A catastrophe that will destroy us? A calamity that will destroy us?”

Han Qingyun’s eyes widened, but he didn’t dare to delay for a moment.

Before long, the sound of bells could be heard echoing back and forth on the Five Fingers Peak.

Along with the sound of bells, one by one, the foundation-building monks rode their spiritual weapons or transformed themselves into spiritual light and flew into the hall.

“What’s going on?”

“Could it be that Master Lu Yi wants to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys again?”

The foundation-building monks looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.

Fang Xing’s words before caused Lu Yi to massacre the Hall of Rewarding the Good and Punishing the Evil with blood, and all parties restrained themselves for a short while.

But it wasn’t long before he returned to his old ways.

Although Master Lvyi turned a blind eye to these situations, who knows if they are fishing?

But this time, after True Person Luyi arrived, she did not announce anything, but just stood below.

Not long after, a sword flashed, and a young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes sat in the main seat of the hall. He looked at the many cultivators below with a gentle look and said, “Everyone… I just received news that the Wanxiang Demon Sect has sent out a surprise attack and has broken through the camp of the Wanshou Sect of Zheng State… In other words, our retreat has been cut off, and there is a risk of being outflanked.”

As soon as the words came out, the whole hall was in uproar!
Even if the cultivators didn’t understand military affairs, they knew what it meant to have their retreat cut off.

You know, even if you completely wipe out the areas originally under the jurisdiction of the Five Elements Sect, a large number of cultivators and special resources will still need to be replenished from Zheng Guoyun.

Even injuries, changes of defense… all require going through Zheng Guo.

Now that the old camp of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect has been breached, it means that the logistics have been cut off!

The most harmful thing in war is to cut off its food supply!

Of course, for immortal cultivators, the situation is not that serious, but it is also very bad.

“quiet!”

Looking at the hustle and bustle in the hall, Fang Xing lightly snapped his fingers.

The sound of a sword instantly silenced all the monks present.

After all, this general was a fierce man who could kill one fake pill with one sword. Even at this critical moment, Master Lvyi did not dare to attack at all.

“If you have any questions, ask them one by one. Lu Yi!”

Fang Xing began to call the roll.

“Excuse me, General… How did you break through the formation and the large number of cultivators in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain?”

True Person Luyi looked a little pale and asked. This was also what all the monks in the hall wanted to know most.

“It was broken by a violent attack… It is said that the attacker is suspected to be a Yuanying Zhenjun. Although there is a Jindan sword cultivator from our sect stationed in the Wanshou Mountain camp and there are formations, it was still broken… That Jindan uncle has died in the battle.”

Fang Xing didn’t hide anything and just said it directly.

“Yuan Ying Zhenjun?”

These four words carried a heavy weight, causing the originally tranquil hall to boil again.

“Okay, second one, you come.”

Fang Xing pointed at Han Qingyun.

Han Qingyun took a deep breath and asked frankly under the gazes of many mid- and late-stage foundation-building cultivators, “Did the Yuanying True Lord of the upper sect try to stop us?”

According to the rules of the world of immortal cultivation, soldiers have always been fighting against soldiers, and generals against generals.

In their opinion, since the Grand Elder of the Wanxiang Demon Sect has taken action, Chu Kuangtu should take it, and the situation can still be saved.

“About this…”

Fang Xing’s expression was a little strange: “What I can tell you is that our sect’s Grand Elder is currently holding back the Wanxiang Demon Sect’s Nascent Soul Demon. Neither side has taken action…”

“What? The Demonic Path actually has a Yuanying Zhenjun supporting it?”

“This, this, this…”

Many monks are going crazy.

In fact, faced with this situation, this group of ragtag troops who were not disciples of the Tianjian Sect were almost ready to surrender.

But… I really can’t beat Fang Xing.

“May I ask, Lord General…what should we do?”

Finally, a cultivator in the late foundation building stage stepped forward and asked.

He was originally a casual cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, but he made many military achievements and obtained a large number of elixirs to improve his cultivation. He also exchanged them for a great elixir that could break through the rank, and finally broke through to the late stage of foundation building. He could be considered a beneficiary of the war dividends.

“Finally, someone got to the point.”

Fang Xing nodded and flicked his finger. A screen of light appeared, showing a map of the five sects and ten countries. “The Wanxiang Demon Sect’s surprise attack was a long-planned one… After our retreat is cut off, we will inevitably be surrounded!”

Judging from the map, although the current Tianjian Sect occupies the original Tianpu Gate and Five Elements Sect’s spiritual veins, and still has a large army in the Musha Sect, it has no way out.

“At this moment, the most dangerous force is the Musha Sect’s army. They are in the middle of a great battle and it is difficult for them to retreat smoothly. They will inevitably encounter a fierce attack…”

“We are a small group of soldiers, so we can break out separately… First we will go to Zheng State, and then to Qi State… Of course, there are many cultivators from Zheng State among you, so if you don’t want to go to Qi State, that’s fine. You can just hide in Zheng State, or fight guerrilla warfare…”

Fang Xing spoke.

Although he knew that once the evil forces became powerful, 99% of these cultivators would surrender to the enemy.

But no matter what, they are still working hard for me now, so should I kill them because of what will happen in the future?
What’s more… these rotten fish and shrimps are useless even if they surrender to the enemy.

So just casually.

What’s more…it’s not easy to return to Zheng alive.

“Pass on my order now. Break out in separate groups!”

Fang Xing waved his hand.

This is actually equivalent to announcing dissolution on the spot.

And he didn’t even want to take the burden of the Tianjian Sect with him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a sword light, rushed into the sky, and disappeared…

“this……”

Han Qingyun looked at the hall that immediately became a mess, and the corners of his mouth twitched: “Are they trying to break out separately? Is this the commander deserting the battlefield?”

He actually wanted to follow the Lord.

Even without thinking, you know that the way back is now absolutely full of thorns, and the chances of survival are greater if you follow a high-level monk.

pity……

Fang Xing actually did not leave, he just hid in the clouds and watched the chaos below.

He fully witnessed what locust-like monks were.

The first one came was True Person Lu Yi, who simply relied on his cultivation to crush the others and swept away all the spiritual materials and elixirs in the treasury that he looked down upon, and then he quickly left with a small team of Qingxuan Sect’s elites on a flying boat.

He actually chose to abandon most of the Qingxuan Sect monks!

The remaining monks also dispersed after frantically fighting for the scraps left by the high-level monks.

In some places, even the unripe medicinal herbs in the medicinal herb garden have to be dug up by the roots!

There were even fights over this, it was truly a huge mess.

Even when the riot was halfway through, a large army of demons had already appeared in the south.

Upon seeing this scene, those immortal cultivators did not hesitate at all and scattered like birds and beasts in an instant, just like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

“Well, there are those who fly, those who hide underground, those who ride on spirit beasts, and those who control puppets…”

Fang Xing looked at them and nodded: “Although these miscellaneous monks are not very powerful in combat, they have mastered the art of escape to perfection, right?”

“Oh? There are a few more heading directly towards the enemy. Are they planning to surrender directly?”

For him, the top spiritual objects of the Five Finger Peak had long been stored in his storage ring, and these miscellaneous cultivators would not even look down on them even in the Tianjian Sect.

If it’s a loss, it’s a loss.

What’s more, this is a failure of grand strategy, not the fault of war.

“Although deserting a battlefield is nothing, it doesn’t quite match my reputation as a swordsman… I have to chop off a few heads to make this journey worthwhile.”

With this thought in mind, Fang Xing hid his sword and followed the surrendered cultivators.

Boom!
The demon army in the south consists of dozens of flying boats.

Seeing the cultivators coming, a blood cloud flew out immediately. In the blood cloud was an old man holding a magic banner, shouting: “I am the third hall master of the Blood River Hall… and now I am the vanguard of the army. Now that the Tianjian Sect has been defeated, what are you going to do?”

“We are willing to join the devil’s way, no… the holy way!”

An elderly cultivator smiled and kowtowed: “Third Palace Master, you don’t know… the Tianjian Sect’s true guard heard that the army was coming and directly abandoned the battle and fled. Now that the army has left, we can surrender without a fight…”

“What?”

The Third Hall Master of the Blood River Hall was furious: “Damn it… That True Sword Master was so famous, and I wanted to refine him into a blood corpse, but he ran away?”

For the Blood River Palace, the blood and essence of the monks are the most precious resources.

When he heard that most of the monks on the mountain had run away, the Third Hall Master was so angry that his hair stood on end: “If that’s the case, what use do I have for you?”

He opened his hand and a river of blood swept up, sucking the surrendered cultivators in. All the magic weapons and robes were instantly stained.

As a result, the monk’s body turned into a pool of pus and blood in an instant.

“Damn it… Damn it!”

The Third Palace Master roared, “Send a boat of people to occupy the Five Fingers Peak first… Then we will go to the Wood Demon Sect. With the Holy Sect’s army holding them back, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s army will definitely not be able to escape…”

At this moment, a sword sound suddenly rang out in the void!
A sword slashed through the blood river!
Before the Third Hall Master, who was in the early stage of Jindan, could react, a sword shadow pierced his sea of consciousness, and the intense pain made him lose consciousness for a moment.

“Sword Intentions Heavenly Heart!”

Fang Xing controlled the rotten iron sword, and a beam of sword light fell along the trajectory that looked like a punishment from heaven, shattering the Third Palace Master’s protective true essence.

“Ahhh!”

At the critical moment, a blood ghost suddenly jumped out from the magic banner, the life-saving magic weapon of the Third Palace Master, roared, opened its ferocious mouth, and tried to bite the flying sword.

It turned out that the life magic weapon automatically protected the master!
“A mantis trying to stop a chariot.”

Fang Xing sneered, and the sword light flashed like thunder, extremely fine and with the ultimate cutting intention.

The Great Freedom Black Gold Sword Aura tore through the blood demon and landed on the Third Palace Master who had finally come to his senses, killing him instantly.

The sword flashed and picked up a storage bag. Then, the man and the sword merged into one, transforming into a long, shocking rainbow and flew away into the sky…
