The sect masters and elders of the other sects were all standing and watching a distance away from the stage. At the same time, the disciples of their respective sects were also with them. The viewing area was several kilometers wide, and there were tables filled with all kinds of spiritual fruits and spirit teas. The low-ranking cultivators stood aside respectfully, serving them respectfully.
Although the Divine Will Sect was clearly treated with great importance during this sect competition, the force from the Central Continent was clearly much stronger.
Merely by flaring out his aura, the elder from the Shangguan Clan from the Central Continent left everyone stunned.
Li Ming’s strength had already reached that of the golden core realm, and his combat power was astonishing. However, he knew that even he did not have a great chance of winning in this competition.
Due to the large number of people in the huge competition, it was expected that the battles between those at the golden core realm would only take place after about half a month.
In the beginning, the battles would mostly be between the disciples at the foundation establishment and qi refinement realms. These battles hardly interested Li Ming.
In fact, even if it was a battle between golden core cultivators, it might fail to catch his interest.
But unfortunately, those at the nascent soul realm cherished their reputation too much, so they would not fight one another, causing the entire event to now feel rather boring to Li Ming.
Although the battles were quite lively on the first day, Li Ming became rather sleepy while watching them. As such, he simply decided not to go on the second day, and rather just wait half a month when it would finally be his turn to participate in the competition.
While he was waiting, he just so happened to hear that a mineral vein of the Divine Will Sect had been forcefully occupied by demons.
The mineral vein was in the Cangnan Mountain Range.
The mineral vein was located in a large area of land, and there were more than a dozen large and small mines, each of which were practically bottomless.
Two teams from two separate sects gathered about 5 kilometers away from the mineral vein.
They were observing the situation of the mines from a distance.
Most of the low-level demons outside the mines were of the first level, and there were a few level-two demons.
A level-two demon possessed strength that was roughly equivalent to an early-stage foundation establishment cultivator.
Li Ming’s face was currently as dark as water. There were probably many more powerful demons inside the caves!
“Everyone, I’m afraid that the demons inside the mines are even more powerful. We must be extremely careful. Junior Brother Qin, how do you think we should deal with these demons?” Li Ming turned to look at Qin Siyue and said calmly.
Qin Siyue frowned, “We will naturally follow Brother Li’s lead. As you have said, I’m afraid that there are indeed likely to be many higher-level demons in hiding. ”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “If we attack them head-on, although we are not afraid of them, we will inevitably suffer casualties. Why don’t we lure them out and attack them more strategically?”
Li Ming nodded. Qin Siyue had the same idea as him.
By setting up a formation, coupled with their magical treasures and immortal techniques, their chances of eliminating the demons would naturally be much higher than if they were to rush in recklessly.
And so, they immediately started preparing.
Both sides had brought by cultivators who were proficient in array formations. The whole group sneaked their way to a location that was less than a kilometer away from the group of demons. This was their limit. If they went any further, the likelihood that they would be discovered would simply be too high.
The Mulberry Spirit Protection Formation and the Five-colored Light Formation were swiftly set up. One of these two formations was a defensive formation that could protect cultivators inside while the other was an illusion formation.
They placed spirit stones into the formation cores and activated the formations. The two formations immediately began operating.
A white light shield enveloped everyone, forming a sphere with a radius of about 40 meters.
This Mulberry Spirit Protection Formation was a tier three formation. Ordinary level one and two demons would not be able to enter the formation at all. Even high-level demons would have to pay a huge price to break through it.
Two cultivators were responsible for using spirit beasts to lure demons over.
When the demons around the mine saw the two snow-white spirit rabbits, they thought of them as nothing more than excellent delicacies and they immediately pounced over.
As soon as the Five-colored Light Formation was activated, five-colored light radiated out, causing the area to look like an immortal realm.
The five-colored light did not have any killing power, but it could confuse its targets while concealing one’s aura.
It was especially effective on the demons, who basically lost all their senses.
The demons were all shocked. They did not understand what had happened and why they were suddenly surrounded by the formations.
In the formation, Li Ming looked at the surrounding scene and the corners of his mouth curled up. ” Fellow daoists, get ready. Once those demons gather, we will immediately launch our attack!”
With his order, all the cultivators solemnly prepared themselves.
At this moment, hundreds of demons had already gathered in the formation. They were immediately trapped in the illusion formation after losing their five senses.
A few demonic beasts rushed out of the formation and saw the human cultivators not far away. They suddenly pounced over.
A furry spirit wolf took the lead and pounced toward the human cultivators.
At this moment, Li Ming shouted, “Attack!”
The immortal cultivators had already prepared all sorts of offensive magical techniques and threw them out.
For a moment, an extremely gorgeous scene emerged in the mountain range.
All kinds of powerful magical techniques, such as the Blaze Technique, Wind Blade Technique, and so on, were thrown at the demons.
The spirit wolf at the front was the first to be attacked and was instantly annihilated.
Of course, compared to the attacks of the cultivators, the Seven Gold Sword Formation, which was set up together with the two defensive formations, was even more powerful.
Blades of silver sword light flashed in the formation, piercing the demons’ bodies, leaving bloody holes in them.
The massacre had officially begun.
The deaths of the demons outside attracted the attention of those in the cave. Several huge abyssal wolves emerged and rushed over.
Level three demons! They were equivalent to late-stage foundation establishment human cultivators.
Just the strength of these few beasts alone could not be underestimated!
The rest of the demons followed closely behind, rushing toward them. It seemed that they intended to devour the teams from the two sects.
There was also a huge broodmother spider among the demons. It was a level four demon!
It suddenly shot out spider silk that covered the sky and trapped many cultivators.
Li Ming sneered and said, “That spider should be a level four demon. Everyone, be careful and end the battle as quickly as possible!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a flying sword turned into a stream of light and shot toward the spider.
The flying sword was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the spider and cut off one of its legs!
The spider screeched in pain. The others looked at Li Ming in shock. They did not expect him to be so powerful!
The remaining demons knew that they had encountered a troublesome enemy.
A demon that looked like a black bull suddenly made its way over and bit the light barrier in front of Li Ming.
The bull-like demon’s teeth were extremely sharp, and it actually bit a hole in the light barrier.
The expressions of the other cultivators changed, and they hurriedly used their A flaming spear appeared out of nowhere and shot at the bull-like demonic beast. The bull-like demonic beast opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the flaming spear.
The flaming spear exploded instantly. The bull-like demonic beast wailed and retreated.
The other cultivators took advantage of the situation to attack. For a moment, the demons fell into disarray.
Li Ming seized the opportunity and activated his flying sword, killing another demon.
The broodmother spider from before was already hiding behind, unwilling to come out.
At this moment, a few more black bull demonic beasts roared angrily and charged over without care!
These level three demons were extremely powerful, instantly creating several holes in the defensive formation.
The two formation masters immediately chanted an incantation, and a yellow light appeared in their hands.
A layer of pale yellow light enveloped the light barrier from before, and the black bull demonic beast crashed into the light barrier.
Bang!
The light screen trembled for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal.
The black bull demonic beasts did not seem to have expected this to happen. They roared in pain and crashed into the protective barrier without caring about anything else.
However, the light barrier was clearly much stronger than before.
Boom!
Li Ming’s flying sword slashed down.
A powerful wave of qi spread around him, and the few black bull demonic beasts were forced back a few steps.
He slashed the black bulls into two halves with his sword.
“Roar-
A chaotic battle began, and both sides fought fiercely.
The cultivators made good use of the formations. “Haha, this is awesome. We’ve really made a killing this time.”
“I didn’t expect these demons to be so weak.”
“I think these demons are all useless!”
The cultivators were extremely excited, completely forgetting that they were here to hunt demons under the orders of their sects.
These demons were all treasures. Even the level one demons had materials that could be exchanged for a lot of spirit stones.
But at this moment, Li Ming’s expression turned solemn..
