Chapter 1260 The Battle at the Mountain God Temple

The clay figure in the water array sneered, “We can only delay. What are you so smug about? If you get killed later, and I'm left with only half a spirit body, I’ll really be screwed.”

The flame clay figure retorted, “Why would I get killed? You should be careful! I’m stronger than you.”

At this moment, the members of the Shangui camp were each trying to break through, attempting to escape from the Yin-Yang array. No one was attacking the two clones for the time being, only remaining on guard against them.

Buzz buzz buzz. A-Yi, three meters tall, relentlessly pounded the barrier with his bone-spiked fists, creating ripples of light.

Tianxia Jie Bai, Bai Wu Jin Ji, and others were all attacking the barrier in their own ways.

Without exception, they all failed.

Wei Wo Du Zun held the Water God Seal in his palm, raising it high and releasing a torrent of surging river water, attempting to extinguish the fire array.

"Chichi..."

Dense steam rose, and the fire array was instantly extinguished.

The cool river water washed over every teammate in the fire array, bringing them coolness and soothing the burning pain.

Without the augmentation of the flames, the aura of the flame clay figure immediately plummeted.

The water clone, however, laughed loudly, "Well done!"

He stomped his foot, reversing water and fire, and the water array received the river water that exceeded everyone’s knees, gaining real, substantial water.

The Yin-Yang robe in the air continued to spew scorching flames, once again igniting the fire array.

The flame clay figure breathed a sigh of relief and cackled strangely, "It's useful. No one will get out within ten minutes!"

Bai Wu Jin Ji's expression changed slightly. Ten minutes ago, the eight teams of the Lawful camp must have already reached the summit.

The seventy-seven enemies in the Shangui camp, after attempting without success, confirmed that they had no way to break through the cage, and accepted reality with an extremely ugly expression.

"Damn it, damn it!"

A fire master roared angrily, "How can he have so many treasures? How can he have so many annoying items!"

The Yin-Yang robe was a top-quality item among the transcendent grade, and the Qian Tu boots were even a Saint grade item. Although they couldn't truly threaten these evil professionals, they were more than enough to create trouble and delay time.

And for the evil professionals, what they were fighting for was time.

They were afraid that Yuanshi Tianzun would fight them to the death. If they fought with real weapons, they could even slaughter level 4 Saints. Although Yuanshi Tianzun had just shown the strength of a level 4 warrior, he was still nervously dealt with by A-Yi and others, without even using items.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun's tactic of using items to "guerrilla warfare" made them very uncomfortable.

*He even has this trick up his sleeve, amazing!* Zhang Yuanqing was secretly delighted, but on the surface, he looked furious, roaring, "You villain!"

"Don't be arrogant! Even if I risk my life, I will cut off your dog head!"

This roar attracted everyone's attention. They thought, *This kid has guts! He's been silent all this time, and we didn't even notice this outstanding young man.*

The fat man (Liang Chen Ze Zhu Er Shi) said in a low voice, "My boss is right. If we kill Yuanshi Tianzun, the array will naturally be broken. Why bother fighting with the items? My boss is so smart."

Zhang Yuanqing's face suddenly stiffened.

Immediately, everyone swarmed forward, and led by top experts such as Wei Wo Du Zun and A-Yi, they began a fierce confrontation with the two clay figures.

Among them, several fire masters and water ghosts were like fish in water in the Yin-Yang array, and their combat power was even stronger than that of the evil professionals.

In less than a minute, they shattered the two clay figures without paying any casualties.

*Whirr!* The clay shattered and scattered all over the ground. The water array turned into mud, and the fire array cracked into dry sand.

The faces of the Shangui camp members had just shown joy when they saw a blurry figure of a flame man standing up again in the raging fire, laughing wildly with his arms akimbo, "Fool, I'm back!"

The water clone snorted coldly at the enemies, without saying a word.

A-Yi didn't waste any words, kicking the flame man away, while on the other side, Tianxia Jie Bai, wearing knuckle dusters, punched the water clone's head to pieces.

But the next moment, the two clones recovered again.

Wei Wo Du Zun said in a deep voice, "Don't waste your energy. Physical attacks are useless against these two clones. Poison is also useless."

After a pause, he added, "I can only suppress that water clone, but I can't refine it because their source is that item inside."

Speaking of that item, a look of desire flashed in Wei Wo Du Zun's eyes.

Such a powerful item, and one that matched his professional attributes, was a treasure that water ghosts and fire masters dreamed of.

If he could control it, his combat power would increase by a level.

"Can't kill them?"

Bai Wu Jin Ji and others frowned.

The strength of the two clones was indeed very strong for ordinary transcendent beings, but it was not enough for the players present.

But they lacked targeted methods, so the situation was stuck. Were they just going to be delayed for ten minutes like this?

At this time, "Wo Ming You Wo Bu You Tian", with her hair disheveled and a charming and intelligent appearance, reached into the blazing flames and pulled out a spear emitting a scorching cold temperature, throwing it at the flame clone.

"Showing off one's axe in front of Lu Ban – Playing a great sword in front of Guan Gong!" The flame clay figure cackled strangely, casually swatting at the flame spear.

The flames did not explode, but rather bypassed and penetrated the flame man's body, causing him to groan. The flames that made up his body trembled violently, almost extinguishing.

This was a mental attack launched by "Wo Ming You Wo Bu You Tian", who claimed to be Zhao Cheng, not a real flame.

"Idiot, it's showing off one's axe." The water clone in the torrent sneered.

"Use your brain more and don't be reckless, or I might become an idiot."

*As expected.* Zhao Cheng's idea was verified, and she said in a low voice, "These two clones are both Yuanshi Tianzun. He has divided his spirit body into seven. Physical means are effective, but his spirit can be directly destroyed."

"Well, that flame man's brain doesn't seem to be very good, probably like fire masters. Let's solve him first."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up, except for two fire masters who were furious.

"Bitch, what did you mean by that just now!"

"If you want to die, we don't mind killing you first."

Being in the fire array, the two fire masters were particularly confident.

Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "Sorry, sorry, please calm down, brothers."

She was too lazy to argue with the fire masters. She could have a battle of wits with experts of all professions, but there was no need to get angry with fire masters.

After appeasing the fire masters, she opened her inventory and took out a lacquered white and round Xun, with eight holes and abstract patterns carved on the surface.

"Cover your ears!"

Zhao Cheng shouted, and then brought the round Xun, as smooth as a goose egg, to her lips and blew.

A desolate and gentle Xun sound rang out, echoing in the water and fire array.

Even though they had belatedly covered their ears, illusions still arose before everyone's eyes, and their emotions fluctuated with the Xun sound, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, and past memories came one after another.

It made people mentally disordered and their will sunk.

The water and fire clones covered their heads and roared in pain. Their will was rapidly dissipating in the Xun sound, and when they completely lost consciousness, their souls would die.

Since the clones were in an elemental state, covering their ears was useless, and they fully received the impact of the Xun.

Zhao Cheng didn't use this item in the temple, precisely because everyone was flesh and blood. If teammates covered their ears, Yuanshi Tianzun could too, killing one thousand enemies and losing two thousand of their own.

At this time, Si Lou Yu, who was unable to intervene in the battle between spirit bodies, said in a deep voice, "You'd better solve Yuanshi Tianzun quickly. Zhao Chenghuang and the others are almost at the top of the mountain."

The walkers in the Shangui camp were shocked to discover that Zhao Chenghuang's team was already very close to the top of the mountain.

According to their experience, although the distance was short, the maze was winding and they would have to walk for a few more minutes.

The little fat man's eyes contracted, becoming indifferent and empty. Immediately, a vortex that devoured souls stirred in the depths of his eyes.

He looked "indifferently" at the fire clone and saw the strange and mottled colors on its body. Each color represented an emotion.

Among them, the white color symbolizing fear was almost non-existent, while the red color symbolizing anger almost overwhelmed all other emotions.

The little fat man raised his hand, as if he was pinching out something, and clenched his fist sharply, softly saying: "Extinguish!"

At the same time, the remaining seven illusionists made the same movements and whispered one after another, "Extinguish!"

Illusionists could both amplify a target's emotions and extinguish them.

Emotions were an extension of the spirit, an extension of the will.

Extinguishing emotions was a means of severely injuring the soul.

And once all emotions were extinguished, it was equivalent to death, and only a walking corpse would be left alive.

The flame clone trembled, and the flames that made up its body shook violently, like a candle in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any time.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing clenched the seven-section whip and leaned silently towards the few illusionists. With his strength, assassinating a few physically weak illusionists was not a problem.

But once he killed the illusionists, these people in the Shangui camp would definitely not let him go.

*Just consider it repayment for their kindness,* he muttered in his heart.

At this time, the water clone took a step ahead and snapped his fingers.

Accompanied by this snap of his fingers, the rapidly rotating Taiji fish paused, and then rotated in reverse, recovering the flames and illusory water. When the power of water and fire returned to the robe, it slowly fell.

Yuan Zi's physical body appeared above, putting on the robe.

*He couldn't hold on, and took the initiative to put away the array.*

*Hiss, my head feels like it's being torn apart. I can only use the consumables from the Silent Village now!* Yuan Zi held his forehead with one hand, his temples throbbing with pain, and took out a crystal-clear jade carving doll with the other.

He stared vigilantly at the enemies inside and outside the temple.

Behind him was Guan Ya, holding a rifle.

Stroking the cold jade carving doll in his palm, a doubt suddenly flashed in Yuan Zi's heart.

*Why did I put away the Yin-Yang robe? Why didn't I use it when the array was unfolded?*

As soon as this doubt emerged, he found the answer.

*An honest man!*

*Said he would use the Yin-Yang array, and he would only use the Yin-Yang array, without using other items.*

*The price of the Qian Tu boots!*

On the other side, seeing Yuanshi Tianzun put away his items, the walkers in the Shangui camp were overjoyed.

Although it was a pity that they didn't kill the flame clone and severely injure his soul, the goal had been achieved. Once they obtained the staff, Yuanshi Tianzun would still die.

At this time, the eight Lawful camp teams, although they were very close, were obviously too late to support them.

Only the little fat man and Zhao Cheng were a little strange. Where was Yuanshi Tianzun's spiritual servant?

He hadn't appeared from beginning to end.

"You have no more tricks, right? Let's see how you stop us now!"

A witch doctor sneered.

Saying that, his actions didn't stop. A-Yi, Bai Wu Jin Ji, Tianxia Jie Bai, the fat man, Zhao Cheng, and others either rushed into the temple or rushed towards the Mountain God sculpture, trying to snatch the staff.

Yuan Zi didn't panic at all. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"My helpers have arrived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, overwhelming Yin energy surged from the temple.

A ghostly figure wearing a bright red wedding dress floated in rapidly. She had a red veil over her head and was holding a round and adorable baby in her arms.

And behind her followed a group of reinforcements.

The leaders were Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao, and others.

They had arrived.

Faster than expected.

Although he had many trump cards, especially the Yin-Yang robe, which was a compulsory imprisonment item, he still had to consider what to do if he couldn't hold on.

After all, the Yin-Yang array had weaknesses, and dividing the spirit body into seven was the biggest weakness, and there were illusionists in the enemy's camp who were good at mental control and attacks.

Therefore, Yuan Zi had made two preparations.

After the battle in the temple began, before the ghost bride's illusion successfully tricked the enemy's mobile team, he had the ghost bride take Little Doubi into the maze forest to find Zhao Chenghuang.

Little Doubi's treasure hunting skills could lead her to Zhao Chenghuang and others in the maze.

After all, whether it was a Yin corpse or an item, or even a dungeon boss, in a sense, they were all valuable things.

Following the maze step by step, the route was winding and took a lot of time, because not following the correct route could easily get lost in the maze.

So Yuan Zi exploited a bug. He used the connection between the spirit servant and the master to give Zhao Chenghuang and others a coordinate. They only needed to follow the ghost bride to take the shortest route and reach the top of the mountain as quickly as possible.

"They've arrived already? Impossible, there's still a distance..."

Looking at Zhao Chenghuang and others arriving at the top of the mountain, the faces of the Shangui camp members changed drastically.

Except for the emotionless A-Yi, even Wei Wo Du Zun, Si Lou Yu, and other top experts couldn't help but feel tired and had negative emotions.

*One effort, then weakening, and three efforts are exhausted.*

"Yuanshi Tianzun!"

Bai Wu Jin Ji gritted his teeth and decisively said, "Retreat!"

He knew that his teammates' mentality had problems. Although they were not injured and had no physical exhaustion, their morale was gone.

It had been worn away by that damn Yuanshi Tianzun.

Bai Wu Jin Ji felt that retreating now was the right choice. He didn't care about the rewards of the Mountain God Temple.

This copy wasn't just the primeval forest. There was also main quest two: find the lost city.

Their opportunity was in the lost city.

At this time, the eight Lawful camp teams, although they were very close, were obviously too late to support.

Only the little fat man and Zhao Cheng were a little strange. Where was Yuanshi Tianzun's spiritual servant?

He hadn't appeared from beginning to end.
