C223 Struggle for
As a Martial Disciple, there was no one who did not understand the status of a formation master in the cultivation world. There was no one who did not understand that with the assistance of a formation master, their strength would increase by leaps and bounds.
After Yang Junshan's identity as an array master was revealed to everyone, except for Wang Zong, who was slapped in the face, and Xiong Xiyi, who looked indifferent, the rest of the people, including Liu Zhifei, were all pleasantly surprised.
Liu Zhifei patted Yang Junshan on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, it must have been hard for you to hide the truth from us. If I knew earlier, I would have plotted against them before the Sirius Sect set up their fifth squad."
Yang Junshan quickly said: "Brother Liu, you are too serious. Although I can set up arrays and have some practice in formations, but I have never experienced actual combat, and I do not have any confidence so I naturally do not dare to spout nonsense. If it is because of my accident that caused the third squad to suffer losses, I will die for sure!"
Generally speaking, array formations could be divided into many different types. For example, from the perspective of array formations, array formations could be divided into illusions, defensive arrays, killing arrays, poison arrays, and so on. But from the perspective of what was being used, array formations could also be divided into: defensive arrays, battle arrays, Dao-soldier arrays, and so on.
When array masters were in danger outside, they would often not have time to leisurely set up their formations, so they could only use their battle arrays to meet the enemy. However, a battle array usually didn't care about the strength of a formation, but about the speed at which it was set up!
Think about it, once you fight an enemy, their abilities and magic tools will all come at once, which will give you the time to calmly set up the array, and will only be able to respond in the shortest amount of time possible. As a result, those battle arrays are usually streamlined, as long as they can be set up successfully in the shortest amount of time possible, they will not hesitate to greatly weaken the original might of the formation.
Yang Junshan could set up a spiritual array, and could even set up a large scale village protecting spiritual array in a radius of several miles. Yang Junshan could set up a spiritual array, and could even set up a large scale village protecting spiritual array in a radius of several miles.
Liu Zhifei waved his hand and said, "Little Yang, don't worry. Although you are right about the strengths and weaknesses of the battle formation, you have forgotten that you are not the only one fighting against the enemy. If we join hands, we can give you a chance to set up the battle formation."
Zhuang Guangyu stood out and said loudly, "Brother Fei is right, once we engage in battle with the Sirius Sect, we should immediately coordinate with Little Yang to set up the array after the surprise attack. We don't need to be able to trap everyone, as long as we can keep three or four people, we will be considered a big victory."
Of the twenty squads at the border, almost every day, there are squads that clash with the members of the Heavenly Wolf Sect or the Opening Spirit Sect. However, the actual casualties are extremely small, after all, they are all Martial Disciples, and being able to kill one head is already a great achievement. This is also the reason why, a few days ago, after the battle at the three sides, there were over ten casualties among the three squads.
Liu Zhifei suddenly stood up, and said, "No matter what, we must keep the matter of Xiao Yang as an array master confidential. Liu Zhifei suddenly stood up, and said," No matter what, we must keep the matter of Xiao Yang as an array master confidential.
Three days later, Luo Bingkun returned to the team. Although his cultivation base was not damaged, he would often subconsciously walk with his shoulders hunched, just in case he was bitten by mosquitoes. However, the third squad was fully full, and with the addition of a formation master, the team's morale was boosted.
On this day, the newly formed Squad Five returned to their stronghold under the leadership of Squad Leader Ben. They nodded to the members of Squad Three, who had already been prepared, and said to Liu Zhi Fei, "Senior Brother Liu, I will be counting on you and the members of Squad Three to deal with the disgrace of Squad Five."
Liu Zhifei nodded with a serious expression and said, "Don't worry, Junior Martial Brother. We have some confidence in fighting this battle."
"It moved, it moved!" Ji Chenglin of the seventh squad ran over and said, "The warning talismans that have been laid down have already been activated. A small team from the Heavenly Wolf School is already headed towards the valley. According to the speed of their patrols, they should arrive in about two hours."
Liu Zhifei said, "Alright, let's go as well. We'll slow down our patrolling speed and rush to the valley in two hours!"
Liu Zhifei then turned to the two brothers, "Two hours later, we will rush to the valley. But before that, don't let anyone from the 5th and 7th squads escape."
Seeing the members of Squad Three slowly leaving the stronghold, Ji Chenglin asked, "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, how confident do you think Senior Apprentice Brother Liu would be this time? Why do I feel that Senior Apprentice Brother Liu's actions are a bit too hasty?"
"No matter what, he is still venting his anger for my last loss."
Ji Chenglin replied, "Senior Martial Brother, do you think that Senior Martial Brother Liu will be able to become a Successor Disciple even if he succeeds this time?"
A look of unwillingness and pain flashed across his face, but he quickly hid it and said in a low voice, "We still have to see how the battle goes. If we win, Senior Apprentice Brother Lin might be able to become a Successor Disciple, but if it's just a small victory, then I'm afraid we won't be able to attract the attention of the high-level cultivators of the sect."
He paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Although Senior Martial Brother Lin obtained the recommendation from Martial Uncle Chen, Martial Uncle Chen can only be considered a newcomer. Moreover, he is not a Successor Disciple, so his qualifications and prestige will not attract too much attention, so Senior Martial Brother Liu can only place his hopes on the border war, hoping to attract the attention of the higher echelons of the sect. Fortunately, the third squad was strong, and even if they failed the surprise attack, they would still be able to escape."
Ji Chenglin smiled bitterly and said, "No matter what, at least senior brother Liu still has a cultivator who can introduce to the sect. I pity you and me … ahem, if senior brother Lin is not injured, then I won't say anymore."
A smile crept up his face, and he said, "This is heaven's will!"
"Yes, heaven's will!"
"I heard that Junior Zhang is going to become a Successor Disciple this time?" How many years has it been since our Heaven Shaking Sect saw a disciple with a middle stage Martial Disciple cultivation? "
"Junior Zhang is the disciple of Martial Uncle Qing Shu and is also a recognized genius in the sect. Not only does he have the highest cultivation base among Spirit Opening Cultivators, his skill in alchemy is extremely profound. After he advanced to Martial Disciple, the position of the sect's Successor Disciple was probably prepared for him."
Although everyone was prepared for this battle, it was basically a gamble. Even Liu Zhifei himself did not have much confidence in winning in the end, but he knew that he did not have many chances left, if he did not make any movements within a month to attract the attention of the senior executives of the sect, then the position of true disciple would definitely not be his.
Normally, they would only recruit three to five disciples every three years. Although there were very few people, none of them were not the elite Martial Disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect, and two-thirds of the cultivators in the Heaven Shaking Sect were true disciples before they reached the Martial Cultivators Stage.
By becoming a true disciple, one would not only have a greater chance of advancing to the Dao Realm in the future, but also become a true core member of the Heaven Shaking Sect. In the future, one would also be able to directly participate in the Heaven Shaking Sect's decision-making process.0
"Brother Fei, it's about time. We are still three miles away from the valley. By this time, the Sirius Sect's patrol team should have already entered the valley!"
At this moment, even the usually laughing Zhuang Guangyu had a hint of seriousness on his face.
Liu Zhifei turned around and looked at the team members behind him, and said, "Success or failure, it all depends on you. Once you meet the enemy, remember that everyone will be given their time by Little Yang!" "Little Yang, you need to set up a formation as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the members of the Heavenly Wolf Sect discover that something is amiss and turn around to leave, the next opportunity will be lost."
Yang Junshan nodded calmly and said, "I will try my best!"
Liu Zhifei hesitated for a moment. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said to everyone, "Charge at full strength. Try your best to not leave too much time for the other party to react!"
Three miles was a very short period of time for a group of martial arts cultivators. Although a martial arts cultivator had spiritual awareness, they could only sense the area within a radius of a hundred meters. Thus, the time left for the third group to make a surprise attack was extremely short.
When the Celestial Wolf Group noticed the sudden appearance of the members of Squad Three and started to panic, Squad Three had already reached the peak of their momentum in the process of sprinting. Under Liu Zhifei's lead, they rushed over.
They could not allow the Heaven Shaking Sect to disperse their formation in a single move. Otherwise, they would be defeated one by one by the Heaven Shaking Sect!
The leader of the Sirius Sect clearly knew that Liu Zhifei's momentum was soaring, but he had no choice but to face his long-accumulated attack head on. Otherwise, the Sirius Sect would have no choice but to retreat after Liu Zhifei broke through their formation.
Liu Zhifei had already risen into the air when he was only a few hundred feet away. The round gourd copper hammer carried an unstoppable momentum as it smashed down towards the head of the Celestial Wolf Sect Leader, but was stopped midway by the magical equipment wielded by the leader.
With a loud bang, Liu Zhifei's magic tool directly smashed his opponent's magic tool into the ground, causing a pile of dirt to instantly rise seventy to eighty feet into the air.
Liu Zhifei firmly held the upper hand. However, his complexion changed. The leader of the Celestial Wolf Sect almost suffered an internal injury from this strike. However, his face was filled with joy.
