Killing the attackers of the city naturally meant that the city was defended.
And winning this sword discussion naturally follows.
Especially Mo Hua...
A fierce glint flashed in Shen Cangfeng's eyes.
The Shen family and Mo Hua also harbored significant grievances; if possible, he certainly wanted to cut down Mo Hua at the foot of his sword.
Therefore, others defend the city genuinely to defend it.
But Shen Cangfeng's intent was to kill.
He wanted to reinforce the city gate, using it as "bait" to exhaust Taixu Gate's strength.
Taixu Gate posed two threats.
One was Linghu Xiao's swordsmanship, and the other was Mo Hua's formation. The city gate was already sturdy, enhanced by five second-grade middle-level formations. To forcibly break it, either Linghu Xiao had to use a superior killing move...
Or Mo Hua would have to employ all his formations.
Or both.
And once Linghu Xiao uses a killing move, he won't be a threat for a short while as he won't be able to recover his breath.
Once Mo Hua exhausts his formations, he would essentially be worthless.
Then, Shen Cangfeng could save his killing moves, conserving strength and striking heavily when Taixu Gate breaches the gate.
Thus, when Taixu Gate breaks the gate, it would also be the moment for their annihilation.
Shen Cangfeng's gaze was cold.
Outside the city gate, Mo Hua looked at the formation before him, sensed the killing intent behind the gate, and his mind stirred as he roughly guessed Shen Cangfeng's intention, sighing softly.
He estimated that in a direct confrontation, the few of them couldn't defeat this Shen Cangfeng.
Though Shen Linsu of the Qian Taoist Sect was strong,
This Shen Cangfeng was no weaker.
The Four Great Sects of the Qianxue State Boundary were really bothersome in this regard.
Prodigies were like grasshoppers, numerous and resilient.
Moreover, under the current circumstances, Shen Cangfeng's plan was actually quite good.
To break the city gate, significant effort was required.
Either Xiaoxiao unleashes great moves, or I deplete my formations.
In this way, even if the gate is breached, dealing with the sword Qi slashes of the Qian Taoist Sect would be impossible.
It would be feasible to wear them down slowly without using big moves and formations.
But the issue was that the sword discussion had a time limit. The city must be captured quickly or they would automatically be judged as the losers once time ran out. "This Shen Cangfeng has a rather deep mind..."
Mo Hua mused silently.
Unfortunately, these people still didn't know the depth of his formation learning.
Second-grade nineteen patterns were not the limit of second-grade formations.
Above the nineteen patterns, there were still many profound formation principles. "Cover me for a moment,"
Mo Hua instructed Cheng Mo and the others.
Cheng Mo and the others nodded in agreement.
Then Linghu Xiao started generating sword Qi, bombarding the city gate to apply pressure on the Qian Taoist Sect disciples.
Ouyang Xuan assisted with the attack from the side.
Situ Jian kept a watchful eye, guarding against the stealth attacks from Qian
Taoist Sect disciples.
Cheng Mo, wielding a large axe, stood guard beside Mo Hua.
With the cooperation of his fellow sect members, Mo Hua began setting formations on the city walls.
The first formation was the Earth Stone Formation.
This formation was not intended for a siege but for "sealing the city," trapping all Qian Taoist Sect disciples inside the city, preventing them from coming out. After that, Mo Hua laid out three sequences of second-grade nineteen-pattern high-rank killing formations.
One was a golden-series Golden Light Killing Formation, one was a wood-series Wood Burial Killing Formation, and one was a fire-series Earth Fire Killing Formation.
These three killing formations subtly integrated the Five Elements Generation and Restraint, complementing each other to enhance their power of killing to a new level.
Moreover, these killing formations were targeted.
But they weren't targeting the formations laid by the Qian Taoist Sect disciples.
Not even the city gate itself.
Rather, they targeted the high-grade second-grade formations drawn within the "city walls" by the elders of Mount of Tao before the siege.
The siege addressed the city gate.
