Chapter 190: To War
Since their defeat three years ago, the Liu Family and Green Bamboo Mountain have been licking their wounds. Recently, the Green Bamboo Mountain's bamboo sword, after recovering from his injuries, took the initiative to sit in Date Spice Oasis to deter the increasingly rampant loose cultivators.
The news of the four sects' joint attack was not deliberately kept secret, and before the flying boats set off, the news reached the bamboo sword's ears.
According to the elder, Elder Zhuye, who is stationed here, they should evacuate in a timely manner, taking all personnel and goods with them. Anything that cannot be taken away should be destroyed immediately, and no advantages should be given to the enemy.
As the top master of Green Bamboo Mountain for many years, the bamboo sword has always had a high self-esteem.
He has not been able to accept their previous defeat until now. In his view, it was completely unjust to lose without fighting. If the enemy had not controlled the protection formation of Singing Sand City through their sinister plots and tricks, they might not have lost.
Now that the enemy is attacking again, the bamboo sword is not willing to retreat easily. If they don't fight openly and honestly, his mind will not be at ease, and his thoughts will not be clear.
Liu Fengbo, a Foundation Building period cultivator stationed here by the Liu Family, is a young cultivator of the Liu Family who has only recently reached the Foundation Building period. He agrees with the bamboo sword's opinion that it is too humiliating to escape without fighting. He is also eager to establish military exploits. If they escape like this now, when the enemy continues to attack and reaches the various mountain gates, where can they still run?
Elder Zhuye, who is alone and unable to persuade the two of them, can only agree to fight the enemy. However, not to mention the gap in Refining Qi period cultivators. Their side only has three Foundation Building period cultivators, while the enemy has five. If the numbers are not equal, they cannot win.
Fortunately, Liu Fengbo has a solution and managed to persuade two Foundation Building period loose cultivators to join them. One is Daoist Whitesand, the leader of the White Sand Pirates. The White Sand Pirates are a group of notorious river bandits who have long been active in the Flying Swan Sect's jurisdiction and have been repeatedly wanted by the Flying Swan Sect's affiliated forces. These bandits are elusive and come and go like the wind, committing crimes everywhere, and have not been caught for many years.
Of course, the most crucial factor is that these bandits know what's what and know which people to provoke and which not to.
After Twin Success Valley's demise, they immediately came from afar to plunder and wreak havoc here, leaving behind a lot of blood debts.
The other Foundation Building period loose cultivator that Liu Fengbo managed to persuade is called "Three Spears" Gu, and no one knows his real name.
"Three Spears" Gu has been a lone bandit for many years, doing evil deeds. He came here to take advantage of the opportunity after seeing Twin Success Valley's demise.
Although the Liu Family and Green Bamboo Mountain have suffered setbacks, they are still able to offer a lot of benefits and bribe these two guys.
The bamboo sword is arrogant and looks down on these bandits, but he is not stupid and knows that this is a temporary expedient. After all, the Liu Family and Green Bamboo Mountain suffered too heavy losses last time and cannot dispatch more Foundation Building period cultivators.
The bamboo sword holds his nose and tolerates his disdain for the two bandits, temporarily joining forces with them to fight the enemy.
The Second Rank Formation of Date Spice Oasis has been completely broken and has no repair value. After their defeat three years ago, the two families did not have a plan to hold out. If it were not for the bamboo sword's insistence on fighting, the cultivators of the two families would have retreated long ago.
Therefore, there is only one First Rank Formation here, which is just for show.
The First Rank Formation is basically useless against Foundation Building cultivators. After discussing their options, the five members of the Green Bamboo Mountain decide to leave Date Spice Oasis and meet the joint attack of the four sects head-on.
Ultimately, in this kind of battle, the outcome between Foundation Building cultivators is the key to determining the final victory. The small number of Refining Qi cultivators cannot influence the situation.
The four sects' flying boat fleet sees the five Foundation Building cultivators flying ahead as soon as they approach Date Spice Oasis. Without delay, the five Foundation Building cultivators leave their flying boat and actively engage the enemy.
The flying boat fleet temporarily stops advancing, waiting for the outcome of the battle between the Foundation Building cultivators. It is a fair fight, as each side has five cultivators. Everyone selects their opponent and begins fighting.
In one of the battles, Meng Zhang faces off against "Three Spears" Gu, a notorious bandit. Meng Zhang, a skilled swordsman, uses his dual sword technique to great effect against "Three Spears" Gu's set of three short guns. Despite his vast experience in battle, "Three Spears" Gu cannot match Meng Zhang's swordsmanship and is forced to defend himself without being able to fight back.
Meng Zhang is a cultivator with a strong foundation in his practice, having studied secret sword techniques passed down from his sect. He begins to gain the upper hand against "Three Spears" Gu, who has relied on his loose cultivation methods.
After fighting for a long time, Meng Zhang gradually gains the advantage, but there is still a long way to go before he can win. To try to gain the upper hand, Meng Zhang takes out the Golden Crow Lantern, a notorious magic tool.
After refining it with Solar True Qi for many years, he is able to use it to some extent. Meng Zhang holds up the lantern, and a blazing line of fire shoots out, aimed directly at "Three Spears" Gu. Recognizing the magic tool, "Three Spears" Gu exclaims in shock.
He remembers when the Taiyi Sect used the Golden Crow Lantern over a hundred years ago and the terror it caused. Despite the danger, "Three Spears" Gu still fights on.
