Chapter 422 Battle of the White Rock Mine
"Release the mysterious blood attractant to detonate the blood beast outside in advance."
"All the warriors who are guarding the area and the disciples who want to earn Wanxiang's contribution should return to their positions. Your main responsibility is to prevent the blood beasts from entering the Baishi mining area."
"As for the main task of killing the blood beast, leave it to me."
……
Orders were issued one after another in an orderly manner, and the entire Baishi mining area began to get busy. The Five Metals Mutual Generation Formation had been activated, but only the basic defense function was activated to prevent the blood beasts from entering.
As for other attacks and auxiliary effects, they have not been enabled yet, otherwise the consumption would be too great.
After all preparations were made and confirmed, Lu Changjing ordered the release of the Xuan-level blood-attracting agent.
Blood attractant, as the name suggests, can lure the arrival of blood beasts. It is divided into different levels. The Xuan-level blood attractant can attract blood beasts of up to level 40.
After all, the battle had just begun, and Lu Changjing had not shown too much intensity, so he needed to adapt. Moreover, there were too many blood beasts outside. If a large number of Xuan-level blood beasts really came, it would not be so easy to deal with them.
With the release of the blood attractant, the blood beasts, which were already quite restless, quickly followed the smell of the blood attractant and rushed towards the Baishi mining area.
These blood beasts in the sea were not cleared out. The reason was that the strength of the blood beasts in the sea could be greatly increased, but the strength of the warriors who entered the sea would be greatly weakened.
With these ups and downs, the strength of the warriors was reduced by more than 30%. Even if a warrior was good at water, his combat ability in water was not as good as that of the blood beasts that stayed in the water all year round.
Therefore, it is better to fight on the shore. The strength of the warriors will not be weakened much, but the blood beasts will be weakened.
After reaching the shore, the fighting power of most blood beasts is far inferior to that in the water, with only a few exceptions.
However, in Lu Changjing's opinion, he only released a Xuan-level blood-attracting agent, but it had already amazed many of the defending warriors.
"Your Highness is really bold. He used a mysterious blood attractant right from the start. He is trying to lure all the blood beasts around the Baishi Mine Area here."
"Once all the blood beasts of Xuan level and below are attracted here, how can the blood beasts of Earth level around them sit still? By then, I'm afraid those blood beasts of Earth level will also come to kill us."
"The area around the Baishi Mine is basically full of blood beasts below level 40. This makes our area very busy. I originally thought that His Royal Highness would start with the spirit-level and god-level blood attractants."
……
In just a few minutes, countless blood beasts, lured by blood attractants, swept towards the Baishi mining area.
Looking at the frenzy of more than one million blood beasts that gathered in a short period of time, Lu Changjing had a calm expression. With a casual move of his hand, the Yi Zhong Sword instantly split into one hundred small swords and swept towards the more than one million blood beasts.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
"Chi chi chi chi chi..."
……
Without using any combat skills or secret arts, and relying solely on the power of the Yi Zhong Sword, more than a million blood beasts were pierced through their vitals wherever it passed, and fell motionless on the shore, becoming the trophies of the Bai Shi Mine.
Immediately, a large number of logistical warriors responsible for collecting spoils swarmed over and dragged back the corpses of these blood beasts. This round allowed the Baishi mining area to earn a considerable amount of blood beast resources.
The usefulness of Yi Zhong Sword was beyond Lu Changjing's expectations.
A good start ignited the enthusiasm of all the defending warriors, especially when they saw the corpses of blood beasts being brought back, each of which was worth quite a lot.
This made many defending warriors eager to take out their weapons and prepare to face the oncoming tide of blood beasts.
The war has begun!
Lu Changjing sat in the core of the Five Metals Mutual Generation Array. The power of the Mysterious Soul easily covered hundreds of millions of square kilometers of territory around him, and the entire Baishi mining area was under his control.
Under his control, the Yi Zhong Sword was like a living thing, wreaking havoc around the Bai Shi mining area, killing one blood beast after another.
The Yi Zhong Sword can be divided into 100 million parts, and each part can easily kill a Xuan-level blood beast, but there are not so many Xuan-level blood beasts rushing towards the Bai Shi mining area.
Therefore, Lu Changjing could easily control the situation and kill many blood beasts outside the Baishi mining area, turning them into his trophies.
Even a blood beast above level 40 would be killed when faced with the billions of swords gathered together and Lu Changjing's formation offensive.
The Five Metals Mutual Generation Formation further increases the power of the Yi Zhong Sword, and this low-level ground formation group also has an auxiliary effect.
Moreover, the blood beasts killed by Yi Zhongjian can basically leave intact corpses, thus ensuring their maximum value.
This sword is indeed a natural weapon for group attacks. Even without the coordination of combat skills and secret arts, it is a magical weapon for group attacks. Not to mention the coordination of combat skills, secret arts and formations, it is even more invincible.
The sword was swung out and instantly turned into 100 million pieces, directly clearing out all the blood beasts within a thousand miles, just like a cleaning machine.
“Buzz buzz buzz buzz…”
Gradually, these sharp swords have turned into imperceptible killing machines, wreaking havoc around the Baishi mining area, killing large numbers of blood beasts that were lured by the blood-attracting agents.
Lu Changjing alone could have cleared the situation up, but it was obviously not a good idea to do it alone, as he couldn't just let so many guarding warriors just sit there and watch.
So the situation on Laiyun Island was repeated. Lu Changjing directly released some of the blood beasts with medium strength to the guarding warriors. As for those more powerful blood beasts, they were basically killed by him alone with his sword.
Wanxiang's contribution is constantly increasing like a leap, and its ranking on the contribution list is also climbing up little by little.
As expected, the sect adjusted the Wanxiang Contribution obtained from killing blood beasts. It was much more than before and definitely exceeded the Wanxiang Contribution gained from completing other tasks.
The killing lasted for a whole day and night, and Lu Changjing's ranking on the Vientiane Contribution List also moved up several places.
Such brutal killing and bloody atmosphere finally attracted blood beasts above level 40. A level 42 blood dragon whale swayed and knocked away the blood beasts around it. Its 20,000-meter-long body, wrapped in bloody sea water, swept towards the Baishi mining area.
"The Myriad Swordsmanship!"
"Man and sword unite!"
Facing this level 42 Blood Dragon Whale, Lu Changjing didn't waste any words. He used the Five Metals Mutual Generation Formation to strengthen himself, held the sword in both hands, and rushed straight towards the Blood Dragon Whale like a stream of light.
"laugh!"
Before the blood dragon whale could react to what was happening, Lu Changjing pierced through it from head to tail. Its huge body trembled for a moment and then fell down. With just one strike, the level 42 blood dragon whale, a hegemon-level blood beast comparable to a two-star earth master, was killed directly by Lu Changjing.
He threw its body into the Baishi mining area and asked the warriors in charge of collecting the spoils to deal with the blood dragon whale. Lu Changjing continued killing with a calm expression.
This scene has left many of the defending warriors dumbfounded. Even though they already knew that their own prince had the combat power of an Earth Venerable level, many of them had never seen it with their own eyes.
Some people even thought it was a rumor, but now that they have seen it with their own eyes, they are shocked to find that it is not a rumor but the real thing.
"Your Highness is too powerful. That is a level 42 Blood Dragon Whale, but it couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from Your Highness. This is too scary. Could we have seen it wrong?"
"Millions of people saw it with their own eyes, how could they be wrong? By killing a blood dragon whale, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ranking on the contribution list will rise a lot. I wonder if he can get into the top 300 after this battle."
"It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's most powerful ability is the Big and Small Ruyi Magical Ability. It seems that he didn't use it just now. How can he be so powerful?"
"With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in charge, we can earn the Wanxiang Contribution this time. I wonder if we can exchange it for a place as an Outer Xiang disciple."
……
In the Wanxiang Sect, if the menial disciples earn enough Wanxiang contributions, they can use them to exchange for places for external disciples, that is, places for formal disciples.
Since they can become menial disciples, Wanxiang Sect will also give them certain opportunities to earn Wanxiang Contributions in exchange for resources and treasures, and gain some of the authority of formal disciples. However, they will be exploited a lot, and the Wanxiang Contributions they gain will be far less than those of formal disciples.
Therefore, many menial disciples will try every means to earn Wanxiang Contribution in order to obtain a place as a formal disciple, but only a part of them can succeed.
After killing a blood dragon whale, Lu Changjing climbed dozens of places on the Wanxiang Contribution List, and the Wanxiang Contribution he obtained far exceeded the Wanxiang Contribution he obtained from killing a large number of blood beasts below level 40.
Still, high-level blood beasts can obtain more universal contributions, and low-level ones need a lot to catch up with high-level blood beasts.
The effect of spreading the Xuan-level blood-attracting agent once can last for more than a day. Although Lu Changjing can continue killing without resting, the warriors guarding the Baishi mining area cannot do so.
Therefore, after this wave of Xuan-level blood-attracting agent lost its effect, the next wave of blood-attracting agent was not spread immediately. Instead, a certain amount of rest time was left. After the blood was almost recovered, the second wave of blood-attracting agent was spread.
However, Lu Changjing was not idle either. He controlled the Yi Zhong Sword and entered the deep sea. Under the protection of Xuanwu and Kunpeng, he searched for the blood beasts above level 40 around him and killed them.
He directly used his powers of size in the sea, transforming into a giant over 700 meters tall, possessing a force of hundreds of billions of kilograms with every move he made.
The Yi Zhong Sword was also combined into a double-edged heavy sword. Wherever he passed, blood beasts above level 40 were easily killed by him and became Lu Changjing's trophies.
"laugh……"
"Chichi..."
"Chichichi..."
……
Wielding a sword alone, he moved freely and in just a few hours, more than a dozen low-level blood beasts were killed by Lu Changjing. His ranking on the Wanxiang Contribution List also soared, directly jumping into the top 300.
At this time, the warriors guarding the Baishi mining area had almost rested. Another wave of blood-attracting agents was sprinkled down, luring large numbers of blood beasts to swarm in, and a new round of killing began.
Xuanwu and Kunpeng continued to search for traces of blood beasts above level 40 in the deep sea. They originally wanted to find out if there were any intermediate or above blood beasts, but they were basically low-level blood beasts that were not worthy of being enslaved by Lu Changjing at all.
Above the Baishi mining area, billions of swords formed a sword formation called "Heavenly Flower Scattering". Rays of sword light were like flowers scattered by the goddess, floating around the Baishi mining area.
Each flower looks beautiful, but it contains unprecedented murderous intent and can easily kill the mysterious-level blood beast.
This Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Sword Formation is a top-level celestial formation, composed of countless small formations. Lu Changjing can currently only exert a very small part of its power, less than one ten-thousandth.
Therefore, the celestial maiden that was conjured up could be said to be quite illusory. She was swaying among the flowers in the sky, and seemed to be constantly scattering sword flowers. Only by careful observation could one discover her existence.
At this moment, in Lu Changjing's hands, its power can only reach the level of top-level Xuanzhen, but even a ground-level blood beast can be killed by Lu Changjing.
The Baishi mining area has been covered with flowers, making countless guarding warriors intoxicated. Their relatives and friends are also dumbfounded and obsessed.
"Is this the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Sword Formation, which is ranked among the top three sword formations in the sect? It is said that even a Grandmaster can practice this sword formation, and can practice it to the level of Heavenly Venerable Supreme in one breath. It is one of the most complete, applicable, and powerful sword formations. I didn't expect that Prince Lu could practice it to this level."
"Without the attainments of a top-level Xuanzhen Master, it is absolutely impossible to exert such power. Prince Lu is indeed a reincarnated person. His cultivation in the art of formation in his previous life must have been extraordinary. He has already stepped half a foot into the level of a ground formation master."
"No wonder Prince Lu chose this sword formation to practice. It is so beautiful that one can fall into it unconsciously and not know where one is. Even a blood beast cannot resist its charm."
……
It is precisely because of the many advantages of the Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers Sword Formation that Lu Changjing chose this sword formation among the countless sword formation inheritances. It can be practiced for a long time and has amazing inclusiveness, and can absorb the advantages and essence of other sword formations.
Otherwise, why would Lu Changjing choose this? After several years of practice, he has mastered this sword formation very well and can unleash the full power of a top-level profound formation.
Once it was put into use at this moment, it indeed produced good results.
Looking at the blood beasts falling down in overwhelming numbers, Lu Changjing had a calm expression. He methodically manipulated the Yi Zhong Sword and the Five Metals Mutual Generation Formation to launch the next wave of killing.
After spending more than half a month and spraying dozens of waves of blood-attracting agents, the blood beasts around the Baishi mining area were finally almost cleared. There were dozens of blood beasts above level 40 that were killed alone.
It's just a Baishi mining area, but there are so many blood beasts above level 40 around it. It seems that a blood disaster is inevitable. It just depends on when it will break out.
Just when Lu Changjing was about to return to Jiuyang Elephant, he received a call for help from Dragon Blood Island, hoping that he could go and lend a helping hand to help Dragon Blood Island survive the disaster.
Dragon Blood Island is not far from the Baishi Mining Area, and this call for help is also directed to all the disciples of Jiulongxiang, not just to Lu Changjing.
The person who sent out the call for help was Lu Changjing's third senior sister He Yingyan, who had already cultivated to the level of Nine-Star Earth Master and was very close to becoming Ten-Star Extreme Earth Master.
At this moment, her Earth Lord clone was still sitting somewhere else, unable to leave. As for her real body, it was hiding deep in the Nine Dragon Elephant, not daring to move out easily.
After all, if something happens to his main body, he will be doomed, so he sent out a distress signal, hoping that the surrounding Nine Dragon Elephant disciples can come to support him.
If the blood beast is killed by then, in addition to the Wanxiang contribution given by the sect, she is willing to personally give out another 20% as a reward.
