After the Guo family father and son died one after another, Wang Xuanke and others had lost almost ten people in their group after they sneaked into the market.
Although they caused great chaos at one point, they did not succeed in their sneak attack as they wished, killing a large number of Xihefang garrisoned monks and breaking through the defensive formation with internal and external forces.
Although the most powerful Wu family monks had been pinned down in the formation, the garrisoned monks of the other four families also had forty or fifty people, and were still resisting fiercely.
Because of Zhang Mengquan's advance report, the garrisoned monks of the other four families also had early warnings. Although seven or eight people were killed in the sneak attack, the rest of them were still fighting hard and pinning down these black-clothed monks.
As for the majority of the scattered cultivators in the market, in addition to most of them fleeing in all directions and escaping from Xihefang Market, there were also some who wanted to fish in troubled waters and sneak into the shops in the market to obtain some immortal cultivation resources.
Another small number of local cultivators from the immortal families who participated in the Xihe meeting had become vassals of the five major families because they had been friends with them for many years. After weighing the pros and cons, they also helped the friendly families.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Wang Xuanke was suddenly shocked.
This time, the casualties were not small, even more than the previous times.
Because of the late foundation-building Wei Mazi's actions in the previous times, except for the encounter with Zhang Leqian who used the fourth-level spiritual talisman when attacking Jiuhua Mountain, their manpower was almost not greatly reduced, and only more than 20 people died in three lootings.
Today, more than ten people died before the formation of the market was broken. Seeing that Zhang Mengquan and seven or eight other enemies had freed up their hands, Wang Xuanke was immediately frightened. If the three foundation-building cultivators outside the formation could not break the formation, they, the Qi training cultivators, would be almost completely damaged.
After the bloody battle just now, Zhang Zhixuan and others have learned bloody lessons and experience. Compared with before the bloody battle, their cooperation is getting more and more tacit.
Seven or eight cultivators of the Zhang family rushed forward and all besieged an enemy.
Among the seven Zhang family cultivators, there is Zhang Mengquan, who has a high level of Qi training at the ninth level, as well as two cultivators in the late Qi training stage, two in the middle Qi training stage, and two in the early Qi training stage. Once they decide to besiege an opponent, it will be difficult for the enemy to resist and they will be defeated in an instant. Just when Wang Xuanke was flustered, two more people died.
At this time, Wang Xuanke and others were also entangled by their respective opponents, and it was difficult to mobilize three or four people to stop them.
If a large number of people cannot be mobilized, it will be difficult to stop Zhang Zhixuan and others.
At the same time, the other three garrisoned cultivators also saw the situation clearly. They all used their best means, not seeking to kill or injure the enemy, but just to contain the opponent with all their strength and prevent them from gathering.
Facing an increasingly unfavorable situation, Wang Xuanke had almost no countermeasures and could only pin his hopes on the three foundation-building cultivators.
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, every time Zhang Zhixuan and his team killed someone, they could free up some of their strength, and the defensive strength of the market town would be strengthened.
If Wang Xuanke and his team were completely wiped out, the cultivators in the market town would be able to free up their hands and rely on the power of the formation to help Wu Xiangyuan. At that time, even if He Laodao and Wei Mazi had one or two more foundation-building fellows, it would be difficult to break the formation in a short time.
When several nearby cultivators heard the news and rushed to reinforce, I'm afraid that Wei Mazi, He Laodao and others would also find it difficult to escape.
The foundation-building cultivators had already released their spiritual consciousness, especially Wei Mazi, who was in the late stage of foundation-building. His spiritual consciousness could be released seventy or eighty feet away. Even if he was blocked outside the market town, he still had a clear understanding of the situation in the market town.
Seeing the fierce resistance in the market, Wei Mazi's face darkened and he said, "Master He, if you dare to be lazy again, we will leave. Anyway, we are all alone, and the people inside have nothing to do with us."
Master He's face changed, revealing a bit of pain. He reluctantly took out a round bead magic weapon, and then threw it lightly into the middle of the formation.
This round bead magic weapon is the third-grade upper-grade disposable magic weapon, the formation-breaking bead. This kind of magic weapon is expensive. Although it can only be used once, its price has exceeded the top magic weapon of the third-grade upper grade.
Unless there is a large-scale war between cultivators, this kind of strategic magic weapon is rarely used in small conflicts on weekdays.
This kind of magic weapon, the formation-breaking bead, can vibrate the earth veins and destroy the foundation of the formation.
In addition, the power of Master He and the other three outside the formation has far exceeded that of Wu Xiangyuan and others, and the loss of the market formation is inevitable.
When Wu Xiangyuan in the formation saw the magic weapon, his face suddenly changed and he said, "It's the formation-breaking bead. It's no good. The market can't be defended. Everyone, disperse and break out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xiangyuan sacrificed his flying sword and flew rapidly towards the west of the market.
He Laodao had just used the expensive formation-breaking bead. At this moment, his face hurt. He immediately broke through the air and chased after Wu Xiangyuan, who was the most valuable.
Wei Mazi and his apprentice also attacked and killed the Wu family cultivators in the Qi training stage in the formation.
Zhang Zhixuan and others were in the midst of killing when they heard a loud noise that shook the earth and mountains.
Zhang Mengquan was stunned and immediately recalled thirty years ago.
Thirty years ago in Jiuhua Mountain, Wei Mazi and others used a formation-breaking bead to easily break the mountain protection formation of Jiuhua Mountain, and then rushed forward and killed a large number of Zhang family cultivators.
If it weren't for the clan leader Zhang Leqian who acted decisively and immediately sacrificed the fourth-level spiritual talisman to injure Wei Mazi and suppress the arrogance of Wei Mazi and others, the Zhang family would have been almost wiped out, and he himself would not have been spared.
Relying on the deterrence of the fourth-level spiritual talisman, Zhang Leqian was able to protect everyone from Jiuhua Mountain and return to the ancestral land of Lushan.
After only thirty years of recuperation, the Zhang family encountered another disaster.
Zhang Mengquan calmed down, suppressed the panic in his heart and shouted: "It's the formation-breaking bead. The formation can't be defended. Everyone, hurry up and break out of the siege. If you can leave, count as one."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Mengquan took the lead and left without any drag.
As soon as Zhang Mengquan left, the rest of the people immediately lost their backbone and ran away in all directions. In the blink of an eye, they ran away and fled from the market from all directions.
Zhang Mengquan and other Zhang family cultivators had already solved the enemy and had no opponents for the time being, so no one stopped them.
Even some black monks who had lost their friends and relatives and had grudges against them found it difficult to repel the enemy immediately and stop them.
The monks were extremely fast. Even for the monks in the Qi training stage, their short-range bursts were far beyond ordinary people. In an instant, the Zhang family had left the market and disappeared in the vast wilderness.
As soon as the Zhang family monks fled, the remaining monks stationed in the market panicked and tried to escape.
Within a cup of tea, Wei Mazi and his apprentice killed the monks stationed in the Wu family formation, and then began to slaughter the monks stationed in the market.
Whether it was a family monk or a local cultivator, it was difficult to escape Wei Mazi's murderous hands. All the cultivators who wanted to fish in troubled waters were found by Wei Mazi and his apprentices and all killed in the market.
After Wei Mazi and others came in, they immediately suppressed the resistance. Everyone was very fast and searched the shops in the market and counted the spoils.
In less than half an hour, Taoist He solved the problem of Wu Xiangyuan, who was seriously injured.
These black-clothed monks cooperated tacitly, classified various immortal cultivation resources and counted them carefully.
At the same time, the Hu family monks who had been hiding a hundred miles away also came to Xihefang City on a huge spirit boat.
