Chapter 681: Bends down to kill
After being enveloped by the golden giant net, the Third Rank flying boat, called Third Rank, lost its mobility as if struck by lightning. The cultivators on the flying boat, including seven Gold Core Daoist Masters on the deck and a group of Foundation Building cultivators waiting in the cabin, also suffered greatly.
Various strange forces continuously impacted their bodies, constantly reducing their combat effectiveness. Several days ago, Wen Qiansun and Deep Earth Spirit General worked together, using many materials brought from Taiyi Sect to set up a Third Rank great formation here, perfectly concealing it. Although there was no Third Rank spirit vein on the ground to utilize, they managed to ensure the great formation could exert most of its power by directly consuming a large number of spirit stones.
On the sides of the valley, the Gold Core Daoist Masters who had concealed their presence with the power of the great formation began to reveal themselves one by one. Extreme Sword Spirit General, Delicate Water Spirit General, Deep Earth Spirit General, Shocking Thunder Spirit General, Yang Xueyi, Niu Dawei, Zheng Chao, Wen Qiansun, Hu Jing, and others appeared before the crowd.
Seeing so many Gold Core Daoist Masters appear, not only Daoist Master Mountain Garden and others trapped within the great formation changed their expressions drastically, but even Xu Mengying, who was supposed to be an ally, was also greatly shocked. She could never have imagined that Meng Zhang had laid such a powerful ambush here. Even she, Xu Mengying, was kept in the dark; he hadn't revealed his full strength beforehand, clearly plotting for a long time. His claim that he only intended to use the great formation to trap Daoist Master Mountain Garden and the others was undoubtedly a lie.
Setting up such a large formation, he was prepared to wipe out all the enemies present. Although Xu Mengying and Daoist Master Mountain Garden were enemies, they both came from Yellow Lotus Sect. Xu Mengying's true enmity was with True Monarch Mountain Peak and a few of its subordinates, not truly wishing to put so many fellow sect members to death.
As the Holy Maiden of Yellow Lotus Sect, most of the time, Xu Mengying prioritized the interests of the sect. If Daoist Master Mountain Garden and the others were all lost here, it would be a blow to True Monarch Mountain Peak and a significant loss for Yellow Lotus Sect. Even though Yellow Lotus Sect was large and influential, losing so many Gold Core Daoist Masters at once would still be a substantial setback.
Xu Mengying hesitated a bit; she was not very willing to take action. Seeing that the Taiyi Sect members had already used the power of the great formation to launch a fierce attack on the enemies trapped within, and Meng Zhang, holding the Spiritsnake Spear, was showing a blatant killing intent with faint Divine Sense lingering around him, Xu Mengying knew that Meng Zhang was guarding against her. By trapping Daoist Master Mountain Garden and the others within the great formation, Meng Zhang had already fulfilled the requirements of their ghost oath.
If Xu Mengying dared to retreat at this critical moment, Meng Zhang would have a reason to kill her. After all, the ghost oath between the two of them demanded mutual cooperation and forbade fleeing from the battle.Daoist Master Mountain Garden and the others were doomed from the moment they fell into the trap set by Meng Zhang. Xu Mengying had no intention of sacrificing herself for these people. With a helpless sigh, she reluctantly began to attack Daoist Master Mountain Garden and the others, who were trapped by the great formation.
Though Xu Mengying's attacks lacked power and were feeble, as long as she showed her determination, Meng Zhang would be satisfied. He stopped watching and joined the battle with his Spiritsnake Spear in hand.
On Daoist Master Mountain Garden's side, there were seven Gold Core Daoist Masters, a team of Foundation Building cultivators, each with their unique strengths, and a Third Rank flying boat. In a fair fight or direct confrontation, even if they couldn't withstand the Taiyi Sect's forces, they could at least fight and retreat, preserving most of their strength. However, in a battle between two forces, nobody would be foolish enough to give the other side a chance; instead, they would aim to weaken the opponent and strengthen themselves.The impromptu Third Rank great formation not only firmly trapped the enemies but also limited their power, preventing them from fighting at their full potential. Despite having the Mother - Child Transmission Disc for instant teleportation, Meng Zhang took a great risk by drawing away most of the elite combat force from Taiyi Sect. He was determined to annihilate Daoist Master Mountain Garden and the others, not just to vent his anger.
Firstly, it served as a means to silence them. As long as Daoist Master Mountain Garden and the others remained here, news of Meng Zhang's collusion with Xu Mengying wouldn't reach True Monarch Mountain Peak.
Secondly, if the team sent by True Monarch Mountain Peak to track Xu Mengying was wiped out and all communication was lost, True Monarch Mountain Peak would undoubtedly be infuriated. This would deepen the conflict between them and Xu Mengying and might even lead to a direct confrontation.
As for weakening True Monarch Mountain Peak's forces, that was just a side benefit. Xu Mengying saw through Meng Zhang's intentions and calculations clearly. Nevertheless, she lost the advantage because she didn't expect Meng Zhang to be so resolute and mobilize such a powerful force.
Being in a disadvantaged position, she had to reluctantly take action to preserve the alliance with Meng Zhang. Xu Mengying was not the kind of girl who harbored unrealistic fantasies; she could make decisive and timely choices.
Since the outcome of Daoist Master Mountain Garden and the others being wiped out was inevitable, Xu Mengying would naturally prioritize her own safety and firmly stand with the victor. She wouldn't be foolish enough to sacrifice herself for the sake of so-called sect loyalty, burying herself along with them.
After Meng Zhang's reinforcements went all out, Daoist Master Mountain Garden's side couldn't hold on any longer. They also realized the enemy's sinister intentions, clearly intending to leave them all trapped here to die.
Daoist Master Mountain Garden and his companions fought with all their might and actively sought opportunities to break free, but Meng Zhang had planned for this for a long time and left them no chance.
The Gold Core Daoist Masters from Taiyi Sect, aided by the power of the great formation, fully unleashed their formidable combat abilities. Especially the four Guardian Spirit Generals, who had experienced countless Gold Core-level battles, not only had an array of divine abilities and secret techniques but also had abundant experience, consistently outmaneuvering the enemy and leaving them with no room to counterattack.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Meng Zhang, wielding the Spiritsnake Spear, was like a reborn god of death, fierce and unstoppable. This was an extremely brutal battle, and after a long and bitter struggle, not a single member of Daoist Master Mountain Garden's group survived; they all perished within the confines of the great formation.
