Chapter 225: Slaying the Golden Core with a Single Thought! (1/2)

”No wonder I felt a little strange when I tested the earth vein here. So that's the reason.”

Xu Quan from the Heaven and Earth Hall earlier was not really unskilled. Instead, he had been disrupted by the arrangements of the Hundred Tempering Mountain and had missed a main vein. He had even misjudged the location when he was measuring the subsidiary vein branch.

Originally, it was very difficult to find the earth vein. Now that it was specially moved away, it was even harder to find.

If not for Jiang Li's presence, the battle plan would have definitely collapsed. With this major problem, who knew what this battle would end up like.

The Hundred Tempering Mountain was truly capable. Most likely, when they did those demonic deeds, they had already expected such a day to come, so they made these preparations in advance.

However, with so many arrangements, the other party definitely would not have guessed that they would be able to find the location of the earth vein so quickly.

This way, the alliance army might be able to catch them off guard!

Jiang Li brought a group of cultivators and flew around the outer area of the Hundred Tempering Mountain. The vein probing needles he brought out had just been used up, and the two main mountain veins and 173 branches were all pointed out.

After Dongfang Guangling and the other elders praised Jiang Li endlessly, they brought their disciples to start setting up arrangements at the various earth vein nodes.

As a combatant, Jiang Li returned to the ship to recuperate.

Above, the cannon fire of the 33 flying ships slowed down and continued to attack in an orderly manner.

Losing a few spirit stones was nothing, but they could not let the other party discover anything amiss. If they were prepared, then their advancement would naturally be even more difficult.

The Shu Mountain's Five Elements Sword Formation had exhausted too much spiritual qi. At this moment, it had already stopped.

However, they did not idle. On the mountaintop closest to the Hundred Tempering Mountain below, they relied on a large number of spirit stones to build a temporary Spirit Gathering Array.

Such an array formation would help the Shu Mountain sword cultivators maintain the sword array for a longer period of time.

An entire day later, the cannons of the 33 warships lit up again. The surging energy was gathered by the array formations on the ships, gathered together, ready to shoot out at any time.

Flying swords that flickered with cold lights flew into the sky in an orderly manner. An even larger Five Elements Sword Formation gathered in the sky.

This time, the scale of the flying swords was no longer just 150, but a total of 500 Shu Mountain flying swords.

The three sects' alliance army was already prepared to attack.

At a certain moment, Elder He waved the flag.

Boom!

On the ground, 175 spiritual qi bombs were detonated at the same time.

Amidst the muffled explosion, a large-scale earthquake and collapse suddenly occurred in the mountains surrounding the Hundred Tempering Mountain.

By directly destroying the earth vein, when it reacted to the outside world, there would naturally be a catastrophic reaction of mountains and rivers collapsing and the earth pits caving in.

This kind of obstruction method was not the best, and it was impossible to permanently cut off the earth vein. However, directly igniting the spiritual qi bomb was the fastest method.

The only problem was that they needed to break into the Hundred Tempering Mountain and destroy their array formation node within an hour.

Otherwise, if the earth vein flow recovered, their array formation would also recover.

After this earth vein was broken, the Hundred Tempering Mountain volcano that was still spewing out thick smoke and fire stopped abruptly.

The formation light membrane that covered the Hundred Tempering Mountain immediately dimmed. Its might was less than 50% of its original strength. Moreover, it could not be sustained for long.

On the mountaintop, 500 sword cultivators sat cross-legged on the Spirit Gathering Array. They formed hand seals in their hands, and 500 sword lights immediately surged towards the Hundred Tempering Mountain.

The 33 flying ship warships that had been waiting also fired their cannons.

The terrifying attack that could destroy a mountain immediately bombarded the array formation's light membrane.

The layer of light membrane immediately caved in and deformed violently. Due to the absence of the earth vein's support, the originally dispirited spiritual light quickly turned worse.

One second, two seconds, three seconds… Boom! With a loud bang, the huge Hundred Tempering Mountain Array suddenly shattered!

The sword array and spiritual pillars that did not lose momentum bombarded the Hundred Tempering Mountain Sect, wiping out a large number of buildings.

The pill furnaces that had been working all year round exploded when they were affected. The top sect, the Hundred Tempering Mountain, immediately turned into a sea of flames.

”The blood of our fellow disciples has yet to dry! We can't sleep in peace! Disciples of the Scripture Storage Valley! Now is the time to take revenge!”

”Exterminate the demons and defend righteousness! Our swords will slay this evil mountain! Shu Mountain disciples! Sword Kinesis!”

”We have a blood feud! This is Buddha's Wrath! Benevolent Travel Temple's monks! Purify them!”

The array formation shattered, and the three flatlands at the foot of the Hundred Tempering Mountain suddenly exploded.

More than a thousand figures immediately surged out!

This was an underground tunnel dug by the Earth Dust Scripture cultivators and other earth attribute cultivators in a short period of time.

The disciples of the three sects hid in the tunnel and launched a surprise attack while their top-notch combat strength was restricted, and Jiang Li was among them.

Moreover, because of his enormous contribution earlier, his extremely high reputation in the sect, the modesty of his fellow disciples, and Elder He's intentional push, the temporary leader of the Scripture Storage Valley's surprise attack team was him, Jiang Li!

Jiang Li was the first to leave the tunnel. His figure turned into an afterimage as he rushed towards the other party's mountain gate.

The pitch-black chains locked around his right fist, forming a giant round fist.

Terrifying spiritual qi gathered in his fist. Borrowing the momentum, he punched the stone door!

A large number of cracks began to spread out from the middle of the mountain gate carved from crimson rocks. Dark green spiritual light erupted from the cracks again, and then a large number of tree roots and vines grew out from within, directly crushing the entire stone gate.

Although the grand entrance of the Hundred Tempering Mountain had lost the enhancement of the array formation and its defense was greatly reduced, it should not be shattered so easily by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if a Golden Core cultivator attacked with his full strength, it might not be so easy.

Behind the stone door, the disciples of the Hundred Tempering Mountain looked at the suddenly broken mountain gate in confusion. Before they could react, hundreds of earth spikes suddenly pierced through the ground, turning them into bloody human skewers.

Elder Lin, who followed closely behind Jiang Li, originally wanted to help him, but he did not expect Jiang Li to suddenly erupt with such strength.

Why did he feel that the punch earlier was not inferior to his own?

Originally, Elder He had only asked Jiang Li to lead the team in name and had even arranged for Elder Lin, a Golden Core cultivator, to assist from the side. However, he did not expect that his existence seemed to be unnecessary now.

”Follow Jiang Li! Slay the demons!”

Jiang Li was the fastest, and he took the lead to open the other party's gate with a punch.

The disciples behind him were also excited as they followed him into the Hundred Tempering Mountain.

The Hundred Tempering Mountain had made so many preparations. Never in their dreams did they expect that the alliance army could break through their array so quickly.

Immediately, they were caught off guard.

When the Hundred Tempering Mountain disciples patrolling the mountain discovered them, they saw a powerful spell technique attacking them.

These people were all elites. Most of them were cultivators above the Core Formation realm. Jiang Li, the leader, had the lowest cultivation level.

However, no one would look down on him because of this, because the results of Jiang Li's slaughter were practically more exaggerated than ten Core Formation cultivators.

He used the Demon Awakening Technique continuously. Large numbers of Wood Demons of various colors twisted their wooden bodies and quickly rushed towards the enemy group.

Under Jiang Li's feet, countless thick tree roots and branches broke out of the ground, forming a living sea of trees that pushed forward. He was like a surfer, riding a green tsunami forward with unstoppable momentum.

The members of the three sects were divided into three groups.

Jiang Li led his men and directly attacked the supplies warehouse of their Hundred Tempering Mountain, destroying their logistics support.
