Chapter 203 Siege
After hearing what they said, the cultivators on the field also reacted. Yes, the corpse of the Shadowless Ghost Mother he used could only exert the cultivation and strength of the Qi Refining Stage. What was there to be afraid of? If he was killed, not only would he have the opportunity to obtain the Jade Spirit Marrow, but he might also get the entire fortune of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Anything he got would be enough for him to use for many years.
Everyone came here to take risks. Could it be that hundreds of cultivators couldn't even deal with a Qi Refining Stage cultivator? So most of them gave up the idea of escaping. Anyway, the so-called Demon Trapping Array had been broken, and it wouldn't be too late to escape when they really encountered danger in the future.
Of course, there were also a few timid cultivators who, after what happened just now, felt that with so many people on the field, it would be impossible for them to grab anything good if they stayed here. If they encountered any danger again, it would be hard to say, so they sneaked away from the back.
Qingyang was also a little worried. Although the Netherworld Master could only exert the strength of the Qi Refining Stage, he was a master of the Foundation Establishment Stage after all. He must have more than so many means, and he might have some unknown killer hidden, so it was very dangerous to stay here. Moreover, Qingyang's cultivation was relatively low, and he might not be able to escape as fast as others when he encountered danger.
But think about the Immortal Knocking Conference that will start in the next few days. He didn't gain anything from this trip to Yuling Mountain. Could he go back empty-handed? If he missed this Immortal Knocking Conference, he would have to wait at least another three years. How many three years can he squander in his life? Cultivating immortals is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you miss it once, you may never have a chance again.
Although if he continues to stay here, the chance of Qingyang getting treasures with his strength is also very slim, but there is always a chance, right? After thinking again and again, Qingyang felt that he should stay here and see the situation first, but for safety reasons, he should not be too forward and try to stay away from the battlefield.
There were many people who had the same idea as Qingyang. They quietly stood at the entrance of the mine and rushed up when they had the chance. Once they found that the situation was not good, they would escape. However, these were some people with relatively low cultivation. They knew that they could not help much if they went up, and it would not affect the overall situation.
The stronger cultivators, or those who felt that they had a chance to grab the treasure, surrounded them. The total number exceeded 300. This time, even Duan Rusong, Lu Dingshan, and Aunt Yun were no exception. Only Qingyang and Xiaomei Yun were left hiding behind temporarily.
Seeing that the situation could not be reversed, the Netherworld Master paused and rushed towards the crowd next to him. Before everyone could react, the figure of the Netherworld Master had disappeared. Only three consecutive screams were heard, and three Kaimai Realm cultivators died in his hands.
The Netherworld Master had already started a killing spree, and a fierce battle began. The cultivators present did not dare to neglect it. They quickly prepared for defense and then each sacrificed their magic weapons to fight back.
After all, the gap between the Kaimai Realm and the late Qi Refining Realm is still very large. The advantage of numbers sometimes cannot completely make up for the gap in strength. In the face of danger, some cultivators can still try their best to resist, but there are always some cultivators who, for one reason or another, fail to defend against the attack of the Netherworld Immortal in time and die at the hands of the opponent.
If the Netherworld Immortal does not move, it will be fine. Once he moves, his body moves very fast, and even ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators find it difficult to keep up. It is even more difficult for Kaimai Realm cultivators to attack the Netherworld Immortal. The Netherworld Immortal is already very powerful, and the body of the corpse puppet itself has amazing defense. Even if it is hit occasionally, it is difficult to cause too much damage.
In just a cup of tea, more than 20 cultivators died at the hands of the Netherworld Immortal, and he himself was hardly injured.
The good thing is that the Drop of Blood Trapped Demon Formation has been broken, so there is no need to worry about the corpses and flesh being absorbed by the formation again. Moreover, the great waves wash away the sand, and almost all of those who died are those who came to join in the fun. Either they have a relatively low cultivation level, or they are not good at fighting and have poor adaptability.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the cultivators of Yuling City can't do anything to the Netherworld Master, at least those Qi-refining cultivators can hurt him. It's just that those Qi-refining cultivators are more cautious in their actions. They know that the morale of the Netherworld Master is at its peak at this time, and it won't have much effect if they attack now. It's better to try to preserve their strength first and let those low-level cultivators consume him. When the Netherworld Master's Qi is insufficient, it's time for them to show their skills.
Sure enough, as time went by, it became more and more difficult for the Netherworld Master to kill another person. Not only because the remaining cultivators gradually adapted to the rhythm of the battle and cooperated with each other more and more closely, but also because the physical strength and Qi in the body of the Netherworld Master decreased.
A little bit adds up to a lot. The attack of a Kaimai Realm cultivator may not hurt the Netherworld Master, but eight or ten can hurt him. If dozens of cultivators attack one part at the same time, even the foundation-building cultivator can't stand it. So gradually, the injuries on the Netherworld Master became more and more serious, and the new injuries on his body gradually exceeded the old injuries.
An hour later, the casualties among the cultivators had exceeded 70 or 80, and only more than 200 people were still able to fight, which was equivalent to losing a quarter of their combat power. The casualties were heavy. However, few of the cultivators retreated, because they had seen the hope of victory, and they all felt that they were the most hopeful.
Hundreds of people fought in a chaotic scene. Although Qingyang did not participate in person, he kept an eye on the changes on the field and occasionally saw familiar figures. Among the 70 or 80 people killed by the Netherworld True Man this time, there were also people from their team, including Aunt Yun and Shen Ertong.
If we add the previous deaths of Zhong Santong and the itinerant doctor Zheng Guangming, four people have died in their team. The eleven-member team had been fine until now, but four of them died in just today. Of the three brothers of Yuan Datong, only the leader is left. This shows how cruel this battle for the Jade Spirit Marrow is.
The monks are numerous and can fight in turns. When their true energy is insufficient, they can hide behind and recover secretly. But the Netherworld Master is not like that. The continuous battle for an hour not only consumed a lot of his true energy, but also obviously couldn't keep up with his physical strength. His reaction was much slower than before, and his attack speed was getting slower and slower.
The Netherworld Master's body was already covered with scars. There was no good place on his body. Even the original injuries were almost flattened and covered with layers of new wounds. The white bones were exposed on his arms, and the horrible wounds on his abdomen almost revealed his internal organs. One of his thighs was dripping with blood for some reason, and he walked with a limp.
