Chapter 800: Chapter 800 The Power of Weimian Chapter 800: Chapter 800 The Power of Weimian Feng Jun felt that his defense was quite easy, and over by the city walls, Ji PingAn also thought his defense was quite effortless.
Because of the existence of the Pillar of Clouds, their pressure was greatly reduced. Ji PingAn even let Xia Pingan take care of the Qi Refining Initial Stage cultivator who had been poisoned, relying on just two people to firmly block the Spirit Beasts’ assault.
However, due to the presence of Mirage Qi, they couldn’t see the battle on Feng Jun’s side very clearly and could only faintly sense that this person was handling the fight against the Spirit Beasts with ease, “He truly deserves to be at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.”
But in Ji PingAn’s heart, there was still so worry, “I wonder if he can withstand the night.”
Once the Pillar of Clouds was activated, it had to be defended even at night, otherwise, if it was taken by the Spirit Beast, it would bring about massive changes overnight.
However, before night fell, around four or five in the afternoon, the white fog began to thicken.
The Pillar of Clouds gradually beca blurry and eventually disappeared into the fog.
Ji PingAn let out a light sigh of relief. At this mont, his first feeling was actually one of relief, “Good thing that blockhead Xia Pingan is back, leaving Feng Jun there makes one feel a bit more at ease.”
Xia Pingan was not pleased to hear this, “Hey, Captain Ji, if I were left there, maybe there wouldn’t have been a problem either. Once the Mirage Qi appears… you can’t even see the Pillar of Clouds clearly, the wild beasts might not even be able to find it.”
Ji PingAn gave him a dissatisfied look, “Are you implying that you understand Mirage Qi better than I do?”
The denser Mirage Qi could indeed protect the Pillar of Clouds more effectively, but no matter what, the Pillar of Clouds was still outside the city walls. The Spirit Beasts couldn’t see it from a distance, wouldn’t they co closer to look?
Indeed, so Spirit Beasts took advantage of the thickening fog and quietly approached the city walls.
Ji PingAn took out a bow and casually used arrows to easily suppress the Spirit Beasts that were closing in.
In terms of long-range attacks, he also had spells and talismans, but those were not to be used at this point. On the battlefield, one cannot carelessly reveal their cards; they must be saved for the most critical monts.
Arrows did not do much damage to Spirit Beasts, and many tis they could not breach the defense, but this didn’t matter. If shot in places like the eyes, they could still cause harm, which would prevent the beasts from nearing brazenly.
Of course, this could also provoke the opponent. If the Spirit Beast’s vigor surged, they might rush to the city walls and start an attack—after all, beasts are generally more impulsive than humans.
But Ji PingAn didn’t care. His years of experience told him that at this mont, there might not be many Spirit Beasts that could rush up the city walls. In fact, he believed that it might be more rewarding to lead the cultivators out of the city for a charge at this ti.
However, he was not the one in charge of this defense battle, so he didn’t bother worrying about it.
But no matter what, using arrows to suppress Spirit Beasts and prevent them from wandering around freely was very necessary.
It was at this ti that he faintly heard a sound, seemingly coming from the direction of the Pillar of Clouds, but upon listening more closely, it disappeared without a trace.
He frowned slightly, “I hope Feng Jun hasn’t run into trouble.”
Actually, Feng Jun was quite pleased at the mont. Although his vision was greatly affected and his Divine Sense was sowhat suppressed by the Mirage Qi, he could still detect the approaching Spirit Beasts with his Divine Sense.
In these circumstances, he even boldly launched attacks—my perception may be bad, but yours is even worse.
At first, he only dared to take action near the Pillar of Clouds, but after slaughtering three Spirit Beasts, he gradually expanded his search range. After all, there couldn’t be any allies around here, and upon encountering an unknown presence, he’d strike first and ask questions later.
But the fog wasn’t so thick as to make it impossible to see one’s hand in front of their face. Soon, various Spirit Beasts started chittering and yamring that there was a human ambushing them, so they all descended to the ground.
The ground was not sowhere Feng Jun dared to venture easily, for if he was entangled carelessly, his only option would be to press the “exit” button.
But he didn’t want to exit under these circumstances, as that would make him feel like a failure.
During his recent hunting spree, he had collected two bodies, aning two ears had co into his possession. He thought that hunting Spirit Beasts in the fog would make it easier to obtain significant gains.
While searching, he suddenly sensed sothing amiss and his body flashed away with incredible speed. A yellow rope lasso brushed past him, and sweat imdiately broke out on his back, “Desert Dry Spider!”
The combat power of the Desert Dry Spider wasn’t too strong, but the key was the extrely adhesive nature of the webbing it sprayed—an attribute that was terrifying. Moreover, they could also secrete venom from their mouths, which even many powerful Spirit Beasts did not dare provoke.
To put it bluntly, once entangled by the webbing, Feng Jun had only one choice—to retreat back to the Earth Plane.
This close brush with danger made Feng Jun quickly adjust his battle mode—returning to the Pillar of Clouds was safer.
Back on top of the Pillar of Clouds, he began to carefully strategize how to exterminate Spirit Beasts within the vast fog.
That’s right, even after returning to the Pillar of Clouds, he was still intent on gaining a bit more rit, especially since the Spirit Beasts now had less coordination among themselves.
After pondering for a long ti, he took out an infrared telescope and looked around—hmm, it did have so effectiveness, but it was only slightly better than using the naked eye.
In fact, there were so Spirit Beasts that could be seen with the naked eye which the infrared telescope couldn’t detect; for example, Feng Jun thought he spotted a Desert Fire Turtle, but the infrared telescope showed nothing—the creature was a cold-blooded animal.
However, Feng Jun wasn’t particularly interested in the Desert Fire Turtle; killing it was extrely troubleso. A slight entanglent with it would easily drag him into the “vast ocean of the Spirit Beast war.”
But at this ti, the Falling Thunder Technique could still be of use. After careful observation, Feng Jun thought a Crumbled Gold Rock Sheep in the infrared telescope made a very good target. So, he raised his hand, and two bolts of the Falling Thunder Technique ruthlessly struck down, depleting his spiritual energy by sixty percent imdiately.
The Crumbled Gold Rock Sheep was an annoying creature; although only a Spirit Beast, it possessed imnse strength and could cause so damage to the city walls.
The damage wasn’t significant, but as the saying goes, constant dropping wears away the stone—after their impact against the walls, the Cultivators had to make repairs. If left unchecked, this creature would lead to prolonged attrition, so it was better to kill it early.
anwhile, Ji PingAn was also shooting arrows at the Crumbled Gold Rock Sheep. The rock sheep’s hide was tough and couldn’t be penetrated, but he kept tirelessly firing, not wanting it to get close to the wall.
With one shot fired, two thunderclaps exploded suddenly, and Captain Ji was utterly flabbergasted, “Ah… Did I grab the wrong arrows?”
The defending army actually had exceptionally powerful arrows; if placed in a Soul Annihilating Crossbow, they could kill a wild beast with a single shot.
Of course, this was only theoretically possible to kill in one shot. In reality, wild beasts had much stronger senses than Spirit Beasts and were incredibly fast; without careful planning, it was difficult to achieve a one-hit kill. Therefore, this was only considered a deterrent force.
But Ji PingAn thought sothing was off— even Thunderbolt Arrows would make only one thunderclap, so where did the second sound co from?
However, after taking two hits from the Falling Thunder Technique, the Crumbled Gold Rock Sheep was already struggling on the brink of death, and, unfortunately, another arrow struck, piercing through its abdon. It kicked its legs and breathed its last.
Ji PingAn hesitated for a mont because he was unprepared; he wanted to rush forward to cut off its ears but was a little too slow.
Around the body of the Crumbled Gold Rock Sheep, more than ten Iron Devouring Ants had been killed by the thunder, but a Rapid Thunder Leopard suddenly sprang and disappeared into the mist with the rock sheep in its mouth.
During the Spirit Beast siege, there was cooperation, but once one was slain, the carcass truly belonged to whoever seized it.
After releasing two bolts of the Falling Thunder Technique, Feng Jun saw through the infrared telescope that another Spirit Beast had taken the rock sheep away. Knowing he had accomplished the kill, he exited the Mobile Phone Plane without hesitation—this attack had been satisfying, but it was too draining on his spiritual energy.
After returning to the Earth Plane, he arrived just as Zhang Caixin was stabilizing her realm. Feng Jun had originally planned to take a trip out to find a place to set up an Interdiate Level Spirit Gathering Array and recover his energy, but after so thought, he decided to simply take out a Qi-Recovery Pill.
The Qi-Recovery Pills were purchased from the Tiantong Comrce Alliance. These pills were effective in restoring energy during battle, and now, even in the safe environnt of the Earth Plane, he had to use them, which made Feng Jun feel a bit pained.
But there was no helping it, who made him impulsively show off and kill a Crumbled Gold Rock Sheep?
Thinking that he hadn’t even secured the sheep’s carcass, his heart twisted even more—the cost was completely disproportionate to the gain.
Next ti, he resolved not to act so impulsively. From the perspective of the Earth Plane, war is all about strength, and the ultimate goal is for profit, so it’s best to avoid battles that result in a loss.
Half a day later, his spiritual energy had fully recovered, so he re-entered the Mobile Phone Plane.
This place was still shrouded in white fog. Feng Jun took out his mobile phone and began to search for “nearby Spirit Beasts.”
Unfortunately, Spirit Beasts are living creatures, and the search radius of his phone was only sixty ters.
This distance could reach the ground since the Pillar of Clouds was only about thirty ters tall. However, his search radius on the ground didn’t even cover fifty ters.
But he patiently held his phone, entering every few minutes, and finally, after half an hour, he successfully detected a solitary Desert Dry Spider—with no other Spirit Beast nearby.
Feng Jun didn’t think twice and charged down at an impressive speed.
The dry spider was quick to react, and its instincts were astonishing. Subconsciously, it fired a strand of web in the direction of Feng Jun’s charge.
Unfortunately for it, its luck was not great. A Cultivator at Martial Enlightennt status, in the Qi Refinent Realm, could achieve a level of flight agility comparable to a Sword Cultivator.
Feng Jun’s instincts were equally astonishing. His body swerved at an odd angle, narrowly evading the web. The next mont, his hand had already grabbed a tuft of the dry spider’s bristles, “Exit!”
The dry spider felt a trendous force dragging it toward so unknown space, terror-struck, it instinctively tried to break free.
If Feng Jun had been dragging it within the sa plane, that tuft of bristles would have been easy to break free from—if it ca down to it, let the opponent pluck them off.
But the force of plane shifting ca very abruptly and decisively. It didn’t even have the chance to express its panic before it disappeared from this plane.
