Chapter 24: The Battle of the Market (II)

Because Zhang Mengquan, a survivor of the battle of Jiuhua Mountain thirty years ago, was in the market, Wu Xiangyuan, a foundation-building cultivator in Xihe Market, discovered these looting cultivators in advance and was not caught off guard.

Wu Xiangyuan immediately activated the defense formation of Xihe Market and sent a communication talisman to inform the cultivators of his family.

At the same time, Zhang Mengquan also notified several other friendly families to let them make plans early.

A blue spiritual light was emitted from the market, and layers of spiritual patterns protected Xihe Market. Soon, the lone cultivators who set up stalls in the market discovered something unusual. They looked at each other, left the market quickly without saying a word, and began to flee in all directions.

Wang Xuanke, Guo Tongshan and others who had already lurked in the market also immediately noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Guo Tongshan quickly released the third-level communication talisman in his hand and immediately said: "The situation is not right, take action immediately." The third-level communication talisman is expensive, each one costs two or three hundred spirit stones. This kind of talisman is extremely fast and can emit a bright red light to quickly transmit information. A red light flew rapidly into the sky. He Laodao, Wei Mazi and the other two who had already been hiding outside the market soon received the communication talisman. They immediately appeared ten miles away from the market and rushed towards Xihe Market. Three foundation-building cultivators broke through the air and arrived in front of Xihe Market in the blink of an eye. They sacrificed the magic weapons in their hands and slashed fiercely on the defensive formation of Xihe Market. Among the three, Wei Mazi was in the late stage of foundation building, He Laodao was in the middle stage of foundation building, and Wei Mazi's apprentice also had the cultivation of the early stage of foundation building. Fortunately, Wei Mazi's injury has not healed, otherwise the three people's joint attack just now might have broken the formation and killed Wu Xiangyuan.

After successfully blocking the attack of the three people, Wu Xiangyuan's face showed no joy.

Wu Xiangyuan has not been in foundation building for a long time, but he is only a second-level cultivator, which is similar to Wei Mazi's apprentice. Compared with Wei Mazi and the other two, Wu Xiangyuan may not be able to win against any opponent.

Fortunately, he had prepared in advance. Wu Xiangyuan had gathered eight Qi training cultivators holding formation flags to assist him, otherwise the joint attack just now might have caused him to lose a lot of mana and hurt his vitality.

The three people of He Laodao used magic tools to continuously attack the formation, and restrained Wu Xiangyuan, the most powerful person in the market.

Among the three people, although Wei Mazi had the highest cultivation, he could not use his full strength because of his serious injuries. Instead, He Laodao posed the greatest threat. He Laodao was experienced and his cultivation level was much higher than Wu Xiangyuan. Every attack he made made Wu Xiangyuan very uncomfortable and barely held on.

Just when Wu Xiangyuan pinned down three foundation-building cultivators, the cultivators who had sneaked into the market also took action immediately, intending to create chaos, break through the defense of the market from inside and outside, and attack the center of the market at the lowest cost.

Zhang Zhixuan and other family cultivators had just packed up the spirit stones and spirit pills, and immediately opened the door, rushed out and killed Wang Xuanke and others.

Zhang Mengquan was deeply impressed by these people, so the Zhang family cultivators had a clear goal.

In the entire Baicaoxuan, there were thirteen Zhang family cultivators, including three cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, four cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training, and the remaining six were in the early stage of Qi training.

"Attack together, first hit the one in front of Lingcao Pavilion."

Zhang Mengquan did not hesitate, first sacrificed a green flying knife, and then sacrificed a second black flying sword.

More than a dozen Zhang family monks released their magic weapons in an instant, and seven or eight magic weapons all slashed towards the scattered cultivator who was about to create chaos.

The six low-level cultivators who were practicing Qi were not strong enough, so they also released several magic talismans. Fireball, ice arrow, earth prison, wood thorn and other magic spells were ready to be used, and they came in the blink of an eye.

The monk who was about to create chaos stared with his eyes wide open, and was immediately panicked. He hurriedly released the shield spell, added a layer of shield to himself, and then sacrificed a yellow jade gourd.

The gourd sprayed out black smoke, completely covering himself in it.

This monk was old and had a high level of cultivation. He had already reached the eighth level of Qi training, and the effect of the shield spell was quite extraordinary.

However, facing the siege of more than a dozen Zhang family monks, the shield was pierced in the blink of an eye. Even the yellow smoke released by the yellow gourd was blown away by more than a dozen magic talismans.

Before he could escape, he was chopped into pieces by Zhang Mengquan and others.

More than a dozen cultivators of the Zhang family had organized themselves. Under the guidance of Zhang Mengquan, they often rushed forward and killed an opponent with one blow.

With such tactics, they quickly killed three enemies, seized a second-level medium-grade gourd, a second-level top-grade storage jade box, a second-level top-grade flying knife, and looted more than a dozen talismans. Unfortunately, these talismans were of low grade, most of which were only second-level low-grade.

Most of the cultivators who robbed Xihefang were over 40 or 50 years old, had practiced for a long time, and generally had reached the late stage of Qi training.

Because they had successfully robbed three times, the magic weapons on them were generally good, even better than the Zhang family cultivators in the foundation-building stage.

After killing three opponents in the late stage of Qi training, none of the more than a dozen cultivators of the Zhang family were injured, just when Zhang Zhixuan was secretly proud.

Wang Xuanke and several other leading cultivators who created chaos, killing and looting in the market have already noticed something unusual.

Without much discussion, they cooperated tacitly and sent four or five cultivators to offer their magic weapons and attack Zhang Mengquan and others.

Among these people, Zhang Mengquan also knew the leader, Guo Tongshan, who had been rooted in the local area for thirty years.

The Guo family is a small family that moved to Taicheng County in recent decades. There are only six or seven cultivators in the family, but the cultivators in his family are older and have higher cultivation.

Guo Tongshan is over seventy years old, older than Zhang Mengquan. Because the family's power is weak and there is no spiritual vein for cultivation, they can only use spiritual stones for cultivation.

Even the core disciples of the big sects cannot continuously refine spiritual stones to improve their cultivation, not to mention Guo Tongshan and other humble casual cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

In the past ten years in Taicheng County, although they had robbed three times, Guo Tongshan and his men had good magic weapons, but unfortunately their cultivation was not as good as Zhang Mengquan, who was not as old as him and whose spiritual roots were not as good as his.

Four sword lights came towards the crowd, Zhang Mengquan took the lead and used magic weapons to block two of them, and the remaining two Zhang family cultivators in the late stage of Qi training also blocked one each.

Just when everyone was slightly relieved, a black light instantly shot towards Zhang Zhixuan.

Although Zhang Zhixuan had reached the sixth level of Qi training, unfortunately most of the magic spells he learned were auxiliary magic spells. He successively learned the Qi Condensation Technique, the Body Fixation Technique, the Light Body Technique, the Soul Gathering Rain Technique, the Golden Needle Technique and the Object Control Technique, but did not learn defensive magic spells.

Although he inherited some of his father's inheritance, plus some resources provided by the family, he only had a limited number of magic weapons, and no defensive magic weapon.

Faced with this sudden sneak attack, Zhang Zhixuan panicked and had no time to dodge.
