Chapter 301: Tangled Warfare
After Guang RuiDaoist's angry reaction, he quickly activated the formation map and exerted all his efforts to take control of the formation. Although Deep EarthSpirit General and Wen Qiansun had taken the initiative, the formation was ultimately dependent on the existence of the formation map, which had been refined by Guang RuiDaoist for many years. Once Guang RuiDaoist reacted, he immediately began to slowly regain control of the formation.
Deep EarthSpirit General and Wen Qiansun worked together and were caught in a stalemate with Guang RuiDaoist. After Meng Zhang and Shocking ThunderSpirit General left the formation, they immediately joined forces with Aunt Jin.
Seeing Meng Zhang and the others escape, Guang HuiDaoist regretted his decision. If he had known that Guang RuiDaoist's control over the formation was so weak, he should have brought the formation map himself to lure Meng Zhang and the others. If he had the formation map in his hands, it would not have been so easy for others to take control of the formation.
Of course, Guang HuiDaoist would never admit that his nature was to overthink and be too cautious. Boldly charging forward and taking risks was not his style. Seeing Guang RuiDaoist and his team caught in a struggle with the enemy in the formation, Guang HuiDaoist shouted, "Follow me!" He personally led the team to fly towards Meng Zhang and the others.
With six against four and a numerical advantage, although the situation was not favorable, it was not bad either. Meng Zhang and the others were not afraid and took the initiative to meet Guang HuiDaoist and his team. Yang Xueyi and Jin Qigu, who had been secretly following Guang HuiDaoist and his team, immediately appeared and flew over to join the battle. Now the number of people was six against six, evenly matched.
Aunt Jin took the initiative to find Guang HuiDaoist. She had dealt with him many times before and was familiar with his methods. Guang HuiDaoist was probably the opponent's number one expert, and Aunt Jin believed that her deep cultivation base made her the most suitable candidate to stop him.
Guang HuiDaoist was approached by Aunt Jin, and Shocking ThunderSpirit General snorted unwillingly and flew towards the bamboo sword. Among the opponent's Foundation Building cultivators, only the mid-level Foundation Building bamboo sword was left, which could barely be a match for Shocking ThunderSpirit General.
Jin Wengbo faced Azure Bamboo, Jin Qigu and Yang Xueyi faced Guang QuanDaoist and Guang DeDaoist respectively. Meng Zhang only had to find his old friend Guang HongDaoist.
In the sky, several battle circles were formed, each caught in fierce fighting. Everyone fought in pairs, making it difficult to distinguish who was winning.And on the ground, Guang RuiDaoist regained control of the majority of the formation, teaming up with Xu Yishan and Lin Shenpo to temporarily suppress Deep EarthSpirit General and Wen Qiansun. However, although they seemed to be at a temporary disadvantage, Deep EarthSpirit General and Wen Qiansun still had some control over the formation, making Guang RuiDaoist and his team unable to relax.
Twelve Foundation Building cultivators flew back and forth in the sky, creating a battlefield spanning tens of miles. The spiritual energy surged violently, and the aura spread in all directions. Strong gusts of wind blew in all directions, stirring up countless dust on the ground.
Among these six pairs of opponents, the power gap between Meng Zhang and Guang HongDaoist was the greatest. Guang HongDaoist had been in the Foundation Building stage for nearly a hundred years, with senior qualifications and a high status in Forest Spring Watch. Moreover, due to his flexible approach and decisive decision-making, he had served as the elder in charge of foreign affairs for Forest Spring Watch for many years. He used to be responsible for dealing with Twin Success Valley and other sects, and now he specifically managed subordinate sects like Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang and Guang HongDaoist had known each other for many years and had a deep relationship. But now, for the sake of their respective sects, they were caught in a life-and-death battle.
Guang HongDaoist had entered the Dao much earlier than Meng Zhang and had become a Foundation Building cultivator before Meng Zhang's age. However, his cultivation base had always remained in the early stage of Foundation Building. Cultivators like Meng Zhang, with excellent aptitude and extraordinary comprehension, could never understand the pain of cultivators like Guang HongDaoist, who had been stuck at the Foundation Building stage for many years and struggled to make progress.
Guang HongDaoist's cultivation base was not as high as Meng Zhang's, and he did not possess any particularly powerful secret techniques. After fighting against Meng Zhang, his fate was already sealed. After a long battle, Meng Zhang took advantage of the opportunity when Guang HongDaoist was entangled by the Tangling Silk Soft Sword. Meng Zhang flew over and displayed his recently refined small Divine Ability, Twin Forms Towards Heaven Sword. A mixture of black and white sword energy, exuding a captivating aura, shot out from Meng Zhang's fingertips, cleverly avoiding Guang HongDaoist's protective magic tool and directly slashing through his body.
Guang HongDaoist's protective spell melted away like snow under the sun, and his physical body was cut into two without any resistance. After killing Guang HongDaoist, Meng Zhang also expended a considerable amount of energy and temporarily stopped to recover his true qi.
Guang HuiDaoist had a stronger combat power than Aunt Jin and had been pressing her in the fight. However, Aunt Jin not only had strong resilience but also was extremely slippery, not giving Guang HuiDaoist a chance to inflict a serious blow on her.
While Guang HuiDaoist was fighting Aunt Jin, he still had the ability to pay attention to the other battlefields. The other pairs were holding up well, except for Guang HongDaoist against Meng Zhang, which was clearly struggling.
When Guang HongDaoist was killed by Meng Zhang, Guang HuiDaoist had already noticed. He was preparing to go over and support, but he was firmly entangled by Aunt Jin and couldn't break free. He hesitated for a moment, considering whether to pay a certain price to seriously injure Aunt Jin. But this hesitation prevented Guang HongDaoist from receiving timely assistance and led to his death.
With Guang HongDaoist's death, Guang HuiDaoist knew that things were going downhill. When one part of the plan went wrong, the entire battle situation would collapse.
At this moment, Guang HuiDaoist deeply regretted his decisions. Because of excessive caution and concern that Meng Zhang and the others might attack the mountain gate of Forest Spring Watch, he had left two Foundation Building cultivators to guard Forest Spring Watch and did not join the battle. If they had two more Foundation Building cultivators participating in the fight, the situation would not be like this. His regrets were not limited to just this. If he hadn't wanted to outsmart Meng Zhang and had divided his forces, handing over the formation map to Guang RuiDaoist, things would be different. If he had the formation map in his hands and joined forces with several Foundation Building cultivators on their side, relying on the power of the formation map, they would not have easily fallen into a disadvantageous position. Too many "ifs," too many mistakes.
Unfortunately, no regrets could be bought in this world. Once a wrong decision was made, one had to bear the corresponding consequences. After Meng Zhang recovered a bit, he joined the battle again. It was a critical moment now, and there was no room for the slightest relaxation. He didn't go to besiege Guang HuiDaoist, who was in the mid-level Foundation Building stage, and the bamboo sword. Instead, he flew towards the battle between Yang Xueyi and Guang DeDaoist. Meng Zhang's plan was simple: gradually weaken the enemy, starting with the weakest opponent. This way, they could steadily expand their advantage step by step, like a snowball rolling.
