Immortality Cultivation

Cloud Crane rode his crane and departed, charging straight towards Tiebi Pass. His Immortal Master demeanor truly brought a glimmer of hope to the oppressive battlefield.

But immediately after, the cold Nascent Soul Aura on the opposite wall exploded like a venomous snake that had its tail stepped on. A blood-red escape light shot into the sky, meeting him head-on without any hesitation!

Good heavens, two Nascent Soul Old Monsters were now facing off in the sky, hundreds of feet up!

Although they hadn’t directly started fighting, the clash of their Aura was more terrifying than thunder!

The sky "buzzed," and the clouds were shaken apart, revealing the pitch-black sky behind them.

An indescribable pressure descended from the sky, causing the Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the city wall to turn pale, their legs trembling.

The Golden Core Stage Commander Lei and General Li were slightly better off, but their expressions were still grave enough to drip water.

Fang Hao felt his heartbeat like a drum, "thump, thump, thump," loud enough for him to hear.

The confrontation at the Nascent Soul Level was so intense that just looking at it made it hard to breathe.

Just at this critical moment, Commander Lei’s roar sounded in his ears like a thunderclap: "Action starts!"

This shout jolted everyone from their shock. The time for life-and-death struggle had arrived!

"Third Squad! Follow me!" Fang Hao suppressed the palpitations in his heart, his gaze sharpened, and he waved his hand at his squad members.

Including himself, this squad had only five people.

Besides him, there were two Late Foundation Establishment Stage Guest Elders: one named Old Chen, who used a saber and didn’t talk much; and one named Little Grandson, who was agile and skilled at sneak attacks.

The other two were veteran Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivators from Luoxia City: one carried a shield as a meat shield, and the other carried a heavy crossbow for long-range support.

Five people, with a clear goal—while the big shots in the sky were facing off and attracting the enemy’s attention, they would stab the "waist" of the enemy’s Blood Fiend Formation!

It was the weak point that Steward Liu and Fang Hao had previously discovered, where there would be a brief energy backflow after the Formation launched a large-scale attack!

"Go!" Fang Hao gave a low shout, executing Divine Spirit Steps to the limit, his figure leaping off the city wall like a phantom!

Old Chen, Little Grandson, and the two veterans followed closely behind, the five of them shooting towards the scorched earth outside the city like sharp arrows!

As soon as their feet touched the ground, a strong smell of blood and burnt things rushed to their noses.

The ground was riddled with holes, scattered with broken weapons and charred corpses, showing the brutality of the previous battle.

Fang Hao dared not be careless; he opened his Divine Sense fully, activated his Clear Spring Spirit Eyes, and stared fixedly at the area under Tiebi Pass ahead.

In the sky, Cloud Crane and that blood-colored escape light had already entangled.

There was no earth-shattering collision, but every clash of their energy caused the space to twist slightly, emitting a low roar as if the sky were about to collapse.

A terrifying pressure enveloped the entire battlefield like a physical force, making people feel stifled.

"Quick! Now!" Fang Hao knew that the opportunity was fleeting and must be seized before the outcome in the sky was decided!

The five-man squad used the shell craters and ruins on the ground as cover to quickly approach the target area.

The defenders on Tiebi Pass clearly discovered these few "little mice," and arrows rained down from the wall, mixed with several flashes of Spells!

"Raise shields!" The veteran carrying the shield roared, lifting a thick spiritual shield with flickering runes on its surface, blocking most of the attacks.

The crossbowman veteran continuously counterattacked with his heavy crossbow, suppressing the enemies on the wall.

While dodging, Fang Hao flicked his hands, and several Formation Flags he had been holding flew out, precisely inserting themselves into the surrounding ground.

A small mist illusion Formation instantly took shape, and faint mist rose, interfering with the enemy’s line of sight and Divine Sense lock, greatly reducing the accuracy of their arrows and Spells.

"Good move!" Old Chen praised, waving his long saber to deflect a fireball that had slipped through.

Little Grandson moved like a civet cat, occasionally throwing out poisoned throwing daggers, specifically targeting enemies who were shooting cold arrows.

The five of them cooperated tacitly, bearing the pressure, and forcefully rushed to a depression about a hundred feet away from Tiebi Pass.

This was exactly the place Fang Hao had previously observed where the Blood Fiend Formation’s energy backflow was most abnormal!

The ground faintly glowed with an unnatural dark red, and the Evil Qi in the air was exceptionally dense.

"This is it! Prepare to break the Formation!" Fang Hao crouched down, pressed his hands on the ground, and his Divine Sense penetrated like fine threads, carefully perceiving the flow of the underground Formation’s veins.

Old Chen and Little Grandson guarded him on the left and right, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

The two veterans were on the perimeter, blocking the constant attacks.

In the sky, the Nascent Soul Level confrontation seemed to have entered a white-hot stage.

The blood-colored escape light suddenly erupted with a dazzling red glow, transforming into a giant blood-colored ghost claw, which grabbed towards Cloud Crane with a shrill screech!

Cloud Crane lightly swung his whisk, and the clear light turned into layers of lotus petals, steadily supporting the ghost claw.

The two were deadlocked, and the escaping energy shockwaves swept out like a storm, blowing sand and stones across the ground!

Fang Hao felt his blood surge from the shockwaves, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, his mind completely immersed in the Formation veins under his feet.

He felt a violent wave of blood-evil energy rushing towards Tiebi Pass deep underground, which was the backflow after the Formation’s attack!

And during the backflow process, at this node, the energy indeed showed a slight, imperceptible disorder and lag!

"Now!" A sharp light flashed in Fang Hao’s eyes!

He suddenly took out three special Formation-breaking cones from his storage ring!

These were one-time Magical Artifacts specifically for sturdy Formations that he had exchanged with contribution points before coming!

"Go!"

He exerted his full spiritual power and fiercely drove the three Formation-breaking cones into the ground at specific positions!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The Formation-breaking cones penetrated deep underground and detonated instantly!

Three sharp, destructive energies followed the earth veins and precisely pierced into the node where the Blood Fiend Formation’s backflow energy was most disordered!

Buzz—!!!

The entire ground shook violently!

In front of Tiebi Pass, the dark red Blood Fiend light barrier flickered violently, its light dimming and brightening, and even a few fine cracks appeared on its surface!

The Formation’s operation clearly experienced a momentary stagnation!

"Success!" Little Grandson shouted in surprise.

"No! Retreat quickly!" Fang Hao’s expression changed, because he felt a furious Divine Sense instantly lock onto the five of them!

The Golden Core defending general on the wall had discovered them!

At the same time, a roar of shock and anger came from the blood-colored escape light in the sky: "How dare you, juniors!"

Clearly, Fang Hao’s move not only destroyed the Formation node but also disturbed the mind of that Nascent Soul Old Monster in the sky!

"Go!" Fang Hao did not hesitate, instantly activating Shrinking the Ground to an Inch, pulling the nearest Old Chen and retreating violently!

But it was a step too late!

A fierce and unparalleled blood-colored saber beam slashed down from the wall like lightning, aiming straight at Fang Hao!

Before the saber beam arrived, the terrifying killing intent had already made Fang Hao’s scalp tingle!

It was a strike from a Golden Core Cultivator in anger!

"Brother Ning, be careful!" Old Chen roared, actually pushing Fang Hao away and waving his own saber to meet the saber beam!

"Brother Chen!" Fang Hao’s eyes were about to split!

Boom!

The saber beam collided with Old Chen’s saber light, making a loud noise!

Old Chen’s long saber shattered instantly, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spraying blood, life or death unknown!

"Old Chen!" Little Grandson and the two veterans’ eyes turned red!

"Go!" Fang Hao suppressed his grief, knowing that now was not the time for impulsiveness.

He sacrificed the empty clarity mirror, and with a flash of mirror light, it distorted some of the incoming attacks.

At the same time, he again executed Shrinking the Ground to an Inch, grabbing the injured Little Grandson and the two veterans, and fled desperately towards Luoxia City!

Behind them, shouts of killing shook the sky on the wall, and clearly, pursuers had come out!

And in the sky, because of Fang Hao’s interference, Cloud Crane seemed to have seized the opportunity; his clear light flourished, temporarily suppressing the blood-colored escape light!

Fang Hao did not look back, raising his speed to the limit, with only one thought in his mind: Fast! Fast! Return to the city quickly!

This surprise attack succeeded! But it also paid a bloody price!

The cruelty of war was presented to him so clearly for the first time.
