Spiritual Mountain, Chen Jing Peak.
The Hidden Modesty Court disciples pounced towards the cave in a frenzy, but Zhao Xiaobao used the Zimu Lightning Sword's superior mobility to harass them all by himself.
They wanted to use spells or treasures to break through the giant boulder and rush in, but as soon as any of them moved, Zhao Xiaobao was right in front of them, fast as lightning, coming and going like the wind, without any warning.
He could appear anywhere within a two kilometer radius, his Neutron Sword darting through the forest, while the twin sword flew out to attack wildly.
As the twin and twin swords attacked separately, Zhao Xiaobao's position became unpredictable, making it difficult for the Hidden Modesty Court disciples to deal with him.
Zhao Xiaobao held a normal long sword in his hand, and as soon as he appeared, he would attack with a sword or a dart. This was almost useless against high level disciples, but against the weaker Hidden Modesty Court disciples, it was still a huge threat.
If the sword or dart hit a vital spot, the arbiters would immediately appear to take them away for treatment, and they would be completely out of the battle.
The Hidden Modesty Court disciples outside the cave were furious, someone shouted, "He's alone, don't panic, everyone gather together, gather together!"
Everyone immediately came to their senses, and gathered together, back to back, shoulder to shoulder, vigilantly forming a group, like a giant hedgehog.
This time, Zhao Xiaobao was in a difficult position. His biggest advantage was not his attack power, but his amazing mobility and movement speed.
If these disciples were scattered, Zhao Xiaobao could even kill them all by himself if he had enough time.
But when the Hidden Modesty Court disciples gathered together, Zhao Xiaobao could not attack them.
When he tried to launch an attack from the corner, as soon as he appeared, the attacks of the surrounding disciples swarmed towards him. Countless spells and magic treasures came crashing down.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiaobao was only testing the waters, and as soon as he appeared, he instantly flashed to the other side. The treasures and spells missed, or else Zhao Xiaobao would have been smashed into meat paste!
Xiaobao flashed to the other side, and instantly stabbed with his sword and shot out a dart. Two Hidden Modesty Court disciples immediately fell to the ground, and the arbiters immediately used their mana to pull them out of the battlefield.
However, Xiaobao's two attacks immediately attracted the attention of the gathered Hidden Modesty Court cultivators. Fireballs, wind blades, flying rocks, all sorts of immobilizing, paralyzing and dizzying talismans rained down on Xiaobao like a storm.
Zhao Xiaobao reappeared again, but his body was hit by a Wind Blade. A deep gash appeared on his chest, and blood oozed out.
Xiaobao reappeared not too far away. He touched the wound on his chest, still in a state of shock. The wound wasn't serious, but he broke out in cold sweat.
One of the disciples in the middle shouted, "Disciples in the middle, concentrate your firepower and open this boulder!
Those on the periphery, don't be afraid of him. When he appears, attack together! "
By the time Xiaobao's guerrilla warfare had killed nearly fifty of them, they were finally forced to huddle together and began to defend themselves.
Xiaobao was like a bird of prey that had encountered a tortoise. His opponents had all shrunk into a ball, and no matter which angle he attacked from, he couldn't achieve any good results.
Xiaobao tried to enter and attack, but found that they were all stuck to each other. There was no space for him to teleport into the battlefield.
On the other hand, his opponents were able to continuously cast spells, bombarding the boulder that was blocking the entrance bit by bit. The cracks were getting deeper and deeper!
Just as Xiaobao was at a loss of what to do, a terrifying sound of a landslide came from the direction of Qian Ning Peak. Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that the entire Qian Ning Peak was collapsing, with countless boulders tumbling down.
This scene scared the disciples out of their wits. Some of the weaker disciples screamed, "We've been ambushed, we've been tricked!"
Xiaobao knew that this was a golden opportunity, and immediately shouted, "It's too late, you're about to lose!
My Young Master will break the formation and take the flag! "
The disciple in the middle was sweating profusely, and looked panicked. However, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't be discouraged!
Don't give up!
We still have a chance! "
But at this time, the weakness of the Hidden Modesty Court disciples was exposed. Once the situation became unfavorable, many of the disciples began to waver, and even began to hold back, unwilling to expend more of their energy.
Xiaobao tried to attack again, but found that this time, the strength of his counterattack had greatly decreased. Among them, the fierce talisman attacks had decreased by eighty percent, and most of them were spells that did not require any cost.
This time, Xiaobao was reassured, and once again began to move in all directions, madly attacking the Hidden Modesty Court disciples, causing their 'casualties' to increase rapidly.
The disciple in the middle saw this, and was anxious. He shouted, "Everyone, don't hold back! Hold on, we'll win if we charge in!"
Xiaobao also shouted, "What can you do if you charge in?
There's only one flag, even if you win, it'll be the disciples who go in first. Why are you risking your lives to charge in? "
His words woke the disciples who were still fighting, and they couldn't help but think, 'That's right, why are we doing this?'
Hidden Modesty Court's second weakness was once again revealed. Without a strong leader, their selfish side was completely exposed!
Xiaobao knew very well that if these disciples charged in as well, the flag would be lost for sure, and Li Chengfeng's battle on the other side would be meaningless!
Xiaobao saw that although the disciple in the middle was shouting to boost morale, the number of disciples attacking the boulders had decreased, and their counterattacks were not as strong as before. Xiaobao had an idea, and slowed down his attacks, focusing on the disciples who were still attacking the boulders.
At this time, the Hidden Modesty Court disciples began to have ulterior motives. The outer disciples were no longer threatened, and they knew that they had slowed down their attacks. Without the protection of the outer disciples, the disciples in the middle were instantly attacked by Xiaobao's lightning-fast attacks, and one by one, they were injured.
The disciple in the middle was furious, and roared, "What the hell are you people doing outside?!"
Some of the people outside were unhappy, but they also began to fight back. However, as soon as they did so, they were immediately attacked by Xiaobao's frenzied attacks. His long sword and plum blossom darts rained down on them.
At this time, they all realised that the fiercer the counterattack, the stronger the retaliation.
At this time, the outer disciples all began to put on an act, putting on an act but not putting in the effort.
As the pressure on the inner disciples increased, the already dispirited crowd began to fall apart.
Especially the rumbling explosions and terrifying sounds of battle that came from Qianning Peak, it sent chills down their spines.
…
The battle outside the mountain turned into one of tacit understanding. Many Hidden Modesty Court disciples had a tacit understanding to conserve their strength, while the disciples who charged into the caves had no way back. Almost every cave was engulfed in an intense battle.
Ouyang Nan and the rest relied on the narrow terrain, painstakingly guarding every path.
Han Tianxing was leaning against the cave wall, struggling to support himself. The blood on his body was starting to coagulate into scabs. After he forced Li Xuanming away, two more Hidden Modesty Court disciples arrived. Fortunately, these two disciples were weak, and when they saw Han Tianxing and the Heavenly Dragon Sword in his hand, they immediately shuddered in fright and turned to run.
After all, the battle between Han Tianxing and Li Xuanming had left a deep impression on them!
Han Tianxing did not chase after them, watching them leave. He forced a smile, supporting himself with his Heavenly Dragon Sword, trying to stand up.
But at this time, he suddenly saw a burst of light coming from the ground in front of the cave. Han Tianxing then realised that it was the hourglass Li Xuanming had thrown earlier!
The hourglass grew brighter, and a smiling array pattern could be clearly seen around it. Very quickly, the array pattern rose into the air, projecting a burning array in the air.
The moment the array was projected, a figure immediately appeared in the array, crashing into the cave wall with a bang.
Han Tianxing looked to see that it was Li Xuanming!
Li Xuanming seemed to be pressed against the wall by an invisible hand, his posture strange. But he quickly gritted his teeth and conjured a seal, his body burning with flames.
The flames ignited his robe. Li Xuanming twisted his body and instantly broke free from the flames, landing in the cave!
Han Tianxing's eyes widened. He did not know why Li Xuanming did this, but he secretly regretted not destroying the hourglass Li Xuanming left behind earlier. In the end, it became the array imprint for Li Xuanming to teleport back!
Li Xuanming was sent out by Li Chengfeng. He flew too fast in the air, sometimes high and sometimes low, making it difficult for him to conjure a seal. He was also sent far away, unable to return to Qianning Peak in a short time.
Li Xuanming decided to beat him at his own game, teleporting back to Chen Jingfeng's cave.
You, Li Chengfeng, single-handedly snatched the flag, do you think I, Li Xuanming, can't?
Let's see if you're faster, me or you!
Li Xuanming stood up, glaring at Han Tianxing and hissing murderously, "Move!"
