C875 He Really Wanted to Retreat from the Enemy

Du Qi waved his palm and knocked down an enemy warrior who was about to reach the top of the wall, then he secretly used the Profound Arts. He condensed the True Samadhi Fire into tiny fire beads and continuously shot them at the giant trees in the moat, the scaling ladders and the giant trees on the city wall.

The Samadhi True Fire was refined by a cultivator with their own essence, Qi, and spirit. As long as one reached the realm of pill completion, they would have this ability. It was just that ordinary cultivators did not know about this method. Du Qi only knew about this technique when he met that person in Nine Palace Mountain. True Samadhi Fire was not only used to forge weapons. It could also be used to attack enemies, but it consumed a large amount of true essence. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would use this skill to attack enemies. At this time, Du Qi saw that the enemy's attacks were fierce and dangerous. He was on top of the city wall, so he did not have to worry about his own safety. That was why he did not hesitate to use his true essence to use this skill.

The Samadhi True Fire wasn't an ordinary fire. When it landed on the tree branches, it immediately began to burn, not extinguishing for a long time.

Although those tree branches had just been cut down, under the burning of the true fire, in just a few moments, they were roasted dry and burned on their own. True fire and the ordinary fire burning on the tree branches interdependent and suddenly increased in power. Immediately, thick smoke billowed from the valley outside the wall. Raging flames burned. Those who did not have time to escape the sea of fire and could not stop their footsteps but still charged forward were burned until their skin and flesh were lacerated. The people who were climbing up the wall were burned and fell down after falling down, resulting in countless casualties. What was even more tragic was that those who were in a panic or squeezed into the moat were poisoned to death before they could drown.

As most of the giant trees in the moat were burned down, ordinary people could not fly over the moat. In addition, the water in the moat contained a huge poison, so experts with high martial arts would not dare to easily fly over it. At this moment, there were very few people who could reach the bottom of the wall, but they did not dare to climb up the wall anymore. Some of them even retreated when they saw that the situation was not good.

When the people of Happy Valley saw this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. They cheered to their heart's content and instantly swept away their dejected aura. Their spirit and confidence had increased by a lot, and they were extremely confident in Du Qi. They were even more impressed by him as they prostrated themselves on the ground. They were secretly glad that if Du Qi hadn't appeared out of nowhere, they wouldn't have been able to obtain such a victory. Not to mention retreating to the south of the city.

However, everyone did not know that even though Du Qi had only shot out a few dozen True Samadhi Fire fire beads, he already felt that his true essence consumption was severe, and he was worried about the upcoming fierce battle and what was about to happen. He didn't dare to do such a thing again. Looking at the raging flames outside the wall, Du Qi suddenly felt something in his heart. While everyone was cheering and not paying attention to him, he quietly took out a Essence Increasing Pill from his Illusion Heaven Bracelet and swallowed it. He immediately sat down cross-legged on the ground. He circulated his energy to recover the consumed true essence while simultaneously refining the Seven Desolations Divine Fire.

After Du Qi had successfully formed his Nascent Soul, he had once cultivated his Divine Sense and refined the True Fire. The improvement of his Divine Sense was obvious, but the True Flame had stopped at the Six Desolation Immortal Flame and had no further progress. Regarding this, although Du Qi was deeply dissatisfied, he could only give up for the time being. Just now, he saw that the True Flame and the Fire of Nature complemented each other, making use of each other's momentum to suddenly increase its power. Thus, he had a feeling in his heart, and finally comprehended the method to refine the divine flame.

In just a moment, Du Qi had completely absorbed the medicinal strength of the Essence Increasing Pill. Moreover, he had smoothly grasped the ability of the Seven Concealed Divine Flame. Thus, he withdrew his cultivation in satisfaction. Looking around, he saw that there was still thick smoke billowing outside the wall, and the raging flames were still bear. Waves of heatwaves assaulted his face, and no human or snake dared to approach the wall.

Suddenly, a series of explosive cries sounded out, and the excited people from the Happy Valley couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard it. A leader called Mei Hong cried out in terror, "The enemy is about to attack again, and none of us dare to approach the wall. How can we defend against the enemy?"

Xu Kai shouted, "What are you afraid of? Could it be that the enemy can still climb out of the sea of fire? " Although his tone was stern, it caused a burst of laughter, causing the tense atmosphere to relax.

Although Du Qi felt that Xu Kai's words were reasonable, there was an exception to everything. Thus, he ordered, "Elders and powerful martial arts brothers, spread out and face the enemy. The rest of you, and the Divine Dragon, stay at the back for the time being. Be careful to prevent the enemy experts from seizing the opportunity to climb up the city wall. "

The people of Happy Valley usually did not even have the chance to fight with others. It was already very difficult for them to fight against the enemy for the past few days. If it wasn't for the fact that they had the courage of a poisonous snake to back them up and eliminate the enemy who had climbed up the city wall... No one could imagine what the consequences would be. At this moment, although everyone moved after hearing the order, they were still busy for a long time before they could arrange the formation. They nervously looked forward, afraid that the enemy would appear in front of them.

Fortunately, the situation Du Qi was worried about did not appear. In front of the raging flames, the enemy actually chose to retreat temporarily. In the long wait for defense, Mei Yuanlong had already sent people to deliver the 72 longbows and 12 short crossbows left behind by the Heaven Connecting Sect, as well as the 100 plus weapons they had collected and the 360 newly made arrows. After Du Qi instructed them to continue making the arrows, he started using True Samadhi Fire. He melted the weapons into arrowheads, and then put them on the arrowheads. Only now did Xu Kai and the others understand why Du Qi ordered them to make the arrows and collect the iron weapons.

Seeing that Du Qi's speed of refining arrowheads was extremely fast, everyone could not help but be delighted. They worked even harder and moved even faster. With bows and arrows in hand, everyone's enthusiasm to resist the enemy became even more intense.

It was only at dawn the next day that the flames outside the wall gradually extinguished. Looking at the mottled traces of being burned by the smoke and the charred, charcoon-like corpses, sniffing the strange scent that filled the air. It caused one to involuntarily feel a bleak and desolate feeling.

Mei Mite was an ordinary black clothed disciple in Happy Valley. He and four other black clothed disciples were on guard duty. Although he didn't want to take another look at those places that were burned, due to his duty, he had to open his eyes wide and stare outside the valley, but his gaze would often inadvertently fall on those areas that caused one's heart to palpitate. Suddenly, his gaze focused, and it practically instinctively reacted as he cried out. "There's an enemy attack!"

Over a hundred people who were preparing to meet the enemy on the city wall hurriedly looked towards the valley entrance. They saw the enemy surge out of the forest in the distance like a dark cloud. They rolled towards the wall and hurriedly drove the poisonous snakes to the edge of the wall. At the same time, they drew their bows and arrows, waiting for the enemy to enter the shooting range. They released arrows to block the enemy.

Who knew that this time, the enemy was not like before, as long as they entered the valley... They would rush towards the city wall as if they were running for their lives. When the enemies entered the valley, they were able to hold their ground where the arrows could not reach. They were divided into twelve groups and lined up outside the city wall. Obviously, the enemies were all the leaders and experts of the big sects. From the looks of it, it seemed like they were going to fight the people of Happy Valley one by one.

As soon as the formation of the enemies stabilized, a man standing in front of the formation in the middle shouted arrogantly, "Dugu Wendao is here. The Valley Lord of Happy Valley has come to reply!"

Du Qi had been refining arrowheads on the city wall all along, circulating his energy to recover the true essence that he had consumed. He had already sensed the movements of the enemies long before the Plum Cane had called out to him. After hearing Dugu Wendao's roar, only then did he slowly walk to the edge of the city wall. He looked at Dugu Wendao and said with a smile, "Little Dugu, what do you want to see me for?"
