I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 142 - 111: Fierce Battle at the Bandit Stronghold, Ingenious Tactics Unleashed!

Chapter 142: Chapter 111: Fierce Battle at the Bandit Stronghold, Ingenious Tactics Unleashed!

The sword pierced through the Purple Smoke, penetrating the main gate of the Jade Belt Stockade!

Rumble!

After the tremendous noise, the mountain gate collapsed, rocks flew sideways.

The Purple Smoke Evil Ghost swiftly dispersed, turning into streams of purple smoke and retracting back into the banner.

The Purple Smoke Ghost Banner planted in the ground also gradually dimmed, and the purple smoke dissipated...

At the same time, the backlash from forcibly activating the Treasure Artifact also arrived.

The fourth head of the Foundation Establishment Stage could no longer maintain the Purple Smoke Evil Ghost, spitting a mouthful of black blood, his breath listless.

More than twenty Qi Refining cultivators behind him fell to the ground, vomiting blood incessantly.

Seeing this, the Foundation Establishment disciples reacted quickly, unleashing sword qi one after another, easily taking the lives of these people.

"Quick, run..."

The fourth head, seeing that he could not fight back, staggered up, trying to escape back to the depths of the stockade.

Swish!

But then a sword beam flew over, pierced through the Protective True Essence, and went through his neck.

Blood gushed like a fountain, and he fell to the ground, trembled a few times and quickly fell silent.

With one strike ending this Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lin Chen felt a slight joy in his heart, withdrew his sword Magical Artifact, and at the same time, took the storage bag of that fourth head.

"Tsk tsk, Junior Brother Lin’s mastery of the Spiritual Control Technique is truly remarkable... Next time, we should spar at my Sword Peak!"

Wan Xun praised, using True Essence to take the damaged Purple Smoke Ghost Banner.

The others saw this and did not stop him, for Wan Xun had contributed the most in this battle.

Not having time to count the remaining spoils of war, Senior Brother Wan continued:

"Everyone, follow me into the depths of this stockade to take the head of the Jade Belt Scholar..."

Saying so, Wan Xun then intended to rush toward the stockade below.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, a black light suddenly surged out from the ground, a layer of black energy forming a protective barrier, firmly blocking the entrance of the mountain gate.

No matter how the people attacked with their Magical Treasures, this black energy barrier remained unmoved.

"Mountain Protection Array?!"

"How does this mere Tribulation Cultivator... have a Mountain Protection Formation?"

For a moment, all the disciples expressed surprise.

Even Lin Chen was somewhat surprised.

A Mountain Protection Array often symbolizes the deep heritage of a cultivation force.

Activating the Mountain Protection Array means that the area within dozens of miles would be protected, and it would be difficult for enemies to break through.

Much like the Changchun Sect, or the Four Great Clans, who may have such an array after hundreds of years of inheritance.

Though this Mountain Protection Array covers only ten miles.

It is still enough to block cultivators below the Core Formation Stage, far beyond what a Tribulation Cultivator force barely over a year old could possess.

"Sure enough, there’s someone behind these Tribulation Cultivator forces lending a hand... even gifting a Mountain Protection Array!"

Lin Chen frowned slightly, a decision forming in his mind.

Looking at Wan Xun again, he wanted to see how this Senior Brother Wan would make decisions in such a situation.

As a few Foundation Establishment disciples panicked and thoughts of retreat emerged in their hearts, Senior Brother Wan spoke in a deep voice:

"Fellow disciples, do not panic!"

"This Mountain Protection Array is far weaker than my Changchun Sect’s power, and a Core Formation Stage cultivator can break it!"

"Now, these Tribulation Cultivators are trapped in the stockade and cannot escape. Let’s wait for our other fellow disciples to come and assist!"

"The Earth Dragon Trapping Elephant Array we set up earlier was for this moment! Trust me... with five arrays activated simultaneously, even this Mountain Protection Array cannot withstand it!"

Wan Xun was unfazed by the crisis, and with a few words, he rallied everyone’s spirits.

The other Foundation Establishment disciples all calmed down significantly, echoing:

"Senior Brother Wan is right! With the Earth Dragon Trapping Elephant Array, breaking this Mountain Protection Formation is as easy as taking a thing out of a bag!"

"Yes! Since they’ve activated the Mountain Protection Array, they’re like turtles in a jar, how could they not be broken?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this, and his evaluation of Wan Xun increased by another three points in his heart.

In his opinion, the Earth Dragon Trapping Elephant Array is far inferior to this Mountain Protection Array.

Even if all five arrays were to explode in sequence, whether they could break it was still a matter of probability.

But as the victory was not yet decided, morale couldn’t be low.

Wan Xun clearly understood this point too, first boosting morale, then considering other matters.

"It’s no wonder that Senior Brother Wan is called a flag-bearing disciple of the younger generation of Changchun Sect..."

"No matter the cultivation aptitude, disposition, or even decision-making in the heat of battle, he is notable in every aspect, a promising talent..."

Lin Chen thought with some emotion.

Currently, Wan Xun is still in the late Foundation Establishment stage, but if he progresses to the Golden Core Stage in a few more years.

He might become a mainstay in Changchun Sect’s war against the Wild Wolf Sect.

With Senior Brother Wan encouraging morale, all the disciples then floated in the air, waiting unhurriedly.

Moments later, without waiting for their fellow disciples to arrive, the Tribulation Cultivators of Jade Belt Mountain instead struck first.

After a burst of rumbling, over a hundred Tribulation Cultivators with swords and spears, emanating a fierce aura, charged out from the caves.

"Where did these greenhorns come from, daring to cause trouble at my Jade Belt Mountain?"

"Who else could it be? It must be those from Changchun Mountain coming to meet their doom again..."

A few Foundation Establishment Tribulation Cultivators with ferocious faces spoke harshly below, and upon seeing the corpse of the fourth head on the ground, they were first stunned.

"Tsk, the fourth brother had bad luck today, such a pity for that Purple Smoke Ghost Banner..."

A Foundation Establishment cultivator searched the fourth head’s body, cursed upon not finding the Purple Smoke Ghost Banner.

Lin Chen squinted slightly, recognizing this cultivator in front of him.

The second head of Jade Belt Mountain, at the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

"These Tribulation Cultivators of Jade Belt Mountain are no different, just a group of murderous stars with a worldly demeanor..."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

His gaze swept over more than a hundred cultivators below and finally rested on a cultivator in a scholar’s robe.

This cultivator, with a sleek and elegant appearance and such a refined demeanor, looked like a scholar rushing to the capital for an exam.

Among all the Tribulation Cultivators, his aura was entirely different, yet the Tribulation Cultivators followed his lead.

"This person must be the Jade Belt Scholar..."

Lin Chen silently thought.

At the same time, all the Foundation Establishment disciples received a voice transmission from Wan Xun.
