Then, a mysterious incantation seemed to come from deep within the southern borders.
The once somewhat scattered army of monsters began to become orderly.
After entering the formation, they began attacking the Qingyun disciple holding the formation plate.
Li Qingan naturally noticed it as well, but he didn't care much about it at the moment.
The current war is just an appetizer.
The Beast God did not appear, nor did Taotie, one of the Thirteen Liches, nor did Blackwood, one of the Beast God's subordinates.
That incantation was most likely instigated by the Beast God to test the strength of the demonic beasts and the combat power of the righteous alliance.
And he also wanted them to get used to the battlefield, so that they wouldn't be held back later.
They don't even know who to protect if a fight breaks out.
One of the main reasons why the Righteous Alliance is able to suppress the demonic beasts is the emergence of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation.
It was only a matter of time before the Qingyun Sect disciples brought by Li Qing'an were attacked.
In addition, cultivators from all sects and schools are used to fighting alone, so if they are not taught a lesson...
They don't act as a group.
Even a slight separation could be catastrophic for a battle group composed of certain formations.
With this in mind, Li Qing'an continued to fight the evil dragon hand-to-hand, leaving the righteous cultivators to deal with it.
Anyway, he was confident that as long as the Beast God didn't intervene, it wouldn't be a problem.
Somewhere on the battlefield.
Song Daren, a robust man with an honest appearance, looked somewhat nervous as he watched the demonic beasts charging towards Tian Ling'er.
With Tian Ling'er's help, they got a little carried away with the killing and unknowingly drifted away from her.
Tian Ling'er needed to stabilize the formation and couldn't move around easily, otherwise she would fall behind their pace.
"Quick, protect our junior sister! Don't charge!"
Song Daren frantically waved to Du Bishu and the others, signaling them to get back on defense!
"Oh my god, I'm going to die!"
Du Bishu looked back, then ran away frantically, cursing angrily, his heart pounding with fear.
While running, he turned his head to look at Tian Buyi and Li Qingan.
Seeing that the two weren't paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shouted:
"Junior sister, don't panic, watch me save you!"
Chapter 282 First battle!
Outside the Demon-Slaying Pass, in the southwest corner of the battlefield.
Within a formation.
More than a dozen demonic beasts charged forward on all fours toward a woman wearing a crimson, belted long dress.
The woman remained calm and composed, holding the circular array plate with one hand and continuously channeling cloud energy into it. With her other hand, she made a hand seal, controlling the crimson silk surrounding her to repel the attacking demonic beasts.
If there are obvious flaws, then it's like shattering their heart.
Just as she was in control, she looked up and saw that all her senior brothers, aided by the formation, were having a blast, charging forward relentlessly.
Otherwise, the formation would have a limited range.
They've probably already broken out of the formation.
Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, hundreds more demonic beasts rushed in from outside the formation, their blood-red eyes constantly scanning the area from the moment they entered.
It seems they are looking for someone.
Before long, nearly a hundred demonic beasts charged madly towards Tian Ling'er.
Tian Ling'er sighed. She knew her senior brother was unreliable and she had to rely on herself.
He stopped making hand seals and took out a fiery red wooden hairpin from his bosom, with a small Vermilion Bird pendant hanging from the end of the hairpin.
With affection in her eyes, she touched it with her right hand and then inserted the wooden hairpin into her long hair.
The Vermilion Bird pendant shone brightly with red light and spewed out flames.
The flames hovered beside Tian Ling'er, transforming into a Vermilion Bird half a zhang in size, its entire body wreathed in flames.
The Flaming Vermilion Bird let out a soft cry, burning all the demonic beasts within a three-zhang radius of Tian Ling'er.
Tian Ling'er was also able to free up her hands to continue stabilizing the formation.
The array's light remained unchanged, unaffected by the sudden change.
It didn't take long.
"Junior sister, are you alright?"
Song Daren, Du Bishu, and several other disciples of Dazhu Peak arrived late, standing in front of Tian Ling'er, guarding against the attacking demonic beast.
Tian Ling'er sighed helplessly, but still said, "Senior brothers, if you slow down any further, I won't be able to stabilize this formation."
"When that happens, it will affect the entire battle situation. Just wait and see if your father scolds you!"
Tian Ling'er deliberately exaggerated to prevent the group from getting carried away by the power provided by the formation.
"No, junior sister, the formation provided by Qing'an is too powerful. I wish I could devote myself to it wholeheartedly."
Du Bishu seemed somewhat unsatisfied.
Within this formation, even with his eighth-level Jade Purity Realm cultivation, he could unleash the power of a peak ninth-level Jade Purity Realm cultivator.
It can be called against the sky.
Hearing Du Bishu's joking words, Tian Ling'er sighed and stopped paying attention to the charging monster.
Next, she would use the formation with all her might to avoid being caught off guard by the monster again.
Like Tian Ling'er, Xiao Yicai and others were also affected.
However, Xiao Yicai and his group are different from Tian Ling'er.
Tian Ling'er was assisting a Qingyun disciple, but the others were not.
Even with the blessing of the formation, some disciples still ignored it.
It's like one person can kill all the monsters in an area.
These disciples were mostly from Fenxiang Valley.
Xiao Yicai couldn't say much, so he could only use his sword skills to kill the monsters within a certain range while stabilizing the formation.
As a result, the amplification effect of the formation upgrade has been significantly reduced.
Only after some people sensed this did they frantically rush to protect Xiao Yicai.
Besides.
Even worse, some might set up an array only to find that most of the people inside were disciples of the Incense Valley.
While the increase was useful to them, the rift between the two factions was not unfounded.
With the increase in power, it charged wildly and gradually moved further away from Chu Yuhong.
Faced with a sudden attack from a demonic beast, he was no match for Xiao Yicai in strength and had no powerful magical artifacts to protect him.
They had no choice but to stop the formation and take cover.
It was fine as long as it didn't stop, but as soon as it stopped, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation immediately dissipated, and the amplification effect also disappeared instantly.
Without the boost, the disciples of Fenxiang Valley, facing a large number of demonic beasts, sweat beaded on their foreheads and anxiously asked:
"Where's the formation? Hurry up and set it up! Don't just stand there!"
Chu Yuhong looked displeased.
"Now that you know you need to set up an array, what did you do just now?"
Before Chu Yuhong could speak again, a demonic beast suddenly pounced on a disciple of the Incense Valley.
The disciple was unable to dodge in time and let out a scream.
Chu Yuhong frowned, suppressing his dissatisfaction and not daring to curse again. He adjusted his breathing and prepared to set up the formation again.
The disciples of Burning Incense Valley looked at each other, their faces grim, but they dared not go any further, protecting Chu Yuhong to prevent him from being attacked by the demonic beasts again.
What happened to Chu Yuhong is a microcosm of this battlefield.
The lack of experience and coordination among the various factions led to frequent problems.
The other elders of the Righteous Alliance were filled with unease.
Those who master the formations are among the most elite disciples of the Qingyun Sect. If their coordination fails, it could result in injury to other disciples.
After the war, these small sects had a tough time.
Furthermore, the boosts provided by these formations are indeed incredibly powerful.
The experienced elders took the initiative to make arrangements, completely abandoning the fragmented approach that had occurred before Li Qing'an's arrival.
He always had a smile on his face when facing the disciples of Qingyun Sect, as if he was afraid of mistreating them in any way.
Gradually, the battle began to get back on track.
Ordinary demonic beasts no longer pose a significant threat to cultivators from various sects.
There was even time to watch the battle in the center of the battlefield.
The sounds of fists and feet colliding, the dust constantly rising, the lightning falling from above, and the thunderous crash of the giant object falling to the ground.
This terrified them, and they didn't even have the thought of approaching the center of the battlefield.
"Senior Brother Xiao, Uncle Li also cultivated a physical body?"
The disciples of Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Sect looked at Li Qing'an, who was already shirtless, with normal skin color and long hair that had long since fallen down.
Xiao Yicai shook his head, his eyes still filled with envy as he looked at Li Qingan.
