Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1771: Chapter 1771: You Still Underestimated the Advantage of This Terrain!

No matter what Ye Haochuan is up to, as long as he hasn’t managed to break through, Li Mei feels he has plenty of opportunities to kill Ye Haochuan.

However, when he excitedly led his men back to Youlang Gorge, he almost ended up bloodied and beaten. Because just after entering the gorge, a barrier towering to the sky blocked their path.

”What’s going on? Why did a barrier suddenly appear?” Li Mei looked at the barrier in front of him and felt a trace of bad premonition.

Sure enough, in the next moment, he saw the face he had been ”expecting” inside the barrier.

”Li Mei, it’s been a day since we last met, does it feel like three autumns without me?” Ye Haochuan said smiling from inside the barrier.

”Ye Haochuan, how did you end up here?” Before Li Mei could respond, the red-haired cultivator asked with a puzzled face.

In his view, this position was in the rear of the Evil Sect’s regiment in the gorge, and they had just left here not half an hour ago, not encountering Ye Haochuan all along the way. It was inconceivable for Ye Haochuan to appear here.

But as soon as he spoke, not only Ye Haochuan looked at him like he was an idiot, even Li Mei did too.

The fact that Ye Haochuan and his party were able to ambush their rear just now proved that there was a hidden path through the entire gorge nearby.

Ye Haochuan must have hidden in the secret path after defeating the ambush squad, waited for them to pass, then came out and moved in the opposite direction to ambush them here.

Failing to grasp even this point made him truly doubt whether this redhead had any brains at all.

”Just a broken barrier? You really think your temporary barrier can hold me back?” Li Mei scoffed at Ye Haochuan, holding a giant sword in hand and slashed forcefully down.

”Do you really think it’s a temporary barrier?” Ye Haochuan sneered.

Clang~

The giant sword was instantly bounced off, Li Mei himself was thrown several meters away.

”Is this... Phantom Sound Pavilion’s long-established defensive barrier?” Li Mei steadied his stance, looking at the barrier incredulously.

In the next moment, he instantly understood.

Phantom Sound Pavilion has been operating here for so long, what’s strange about setting up a defensive barrier?

Suddenly, he felt a bit stupid, having not thought of this earlier, not using the barrier has instead allowed Ye Haochuan to use it.

”It’s not good, Okao and his men are in danger!” Li Mei suddenly realized something, and his heart was filled with urgency.

Ye Haochuan’s series of actions made him shudder upon careful thought. Ye Haochuan’s initial goal was not to escape but to divide and conquer his team.

The plan has two key points, one is to achieve division, which was well solved using the barrier. The second point is how to perform the division.

If the surrounded part’s numbers are too many, there’s a risk of counter-kill, destined to defeat. However, if the surrounded numbers are too few, the superiority in numbers can’t be changed, achieving little effect.

To achieve this goal, Ye Haochuan used a diversionary tactic, employing Phantom Sound Pavilion’s main division to contain Evil Sect’s main forces, luring away Li Mei successfully using just over three hundred people, leaving Okao with five to six thousand.

Okao’s numbers seemed more than Phantom Sound Pavilion’s, but with the team supported by the Genius Seven Kills Formation, they had a significant advantage when engaging similarly numbered enemies.

Moreover, Evil Sect’s elite leaders were ”cut away” about half, even Li Mei, the strongest leader was isolated; the remaining forces naturally suffered reduced fighting capability.

”Everyone, attack this barrier with all your might, break it as quickly as possible!” Li Mei quickly ordered, realizing the crisis.

Behind him were more than two thousand people, most of whom initiated means to attack upon hearing his command.

Seeing overwhelming attacks, Ye Haochuan felt cold sweat on his palms.

Boom... Roar...

Countless attack methods hit the barrier but were like dust falling into the sea, without causing a ripple.

Ye Haochuan specially glanced at a few teams below the steep walls on both sides, this defensive barrier mainly relies on them for activation and maintenance.

To Ye Haochuan’s surprise, apart from one or two with low cultivation looking a bit pale, everyone else seemed unfazed.

”Such a strong defensive barrier!” Ye Haochuan sighed with joy, and the trace of concern in his heart instantly vanished.

Based solely on defensive ability, this barrier is not inferior to Phantom Sound Pavilion’s headquarters’ defensive formation. Here, due to terrain constraints, not everyone can launch attacks, so the defense effect is even better.

In contrast to Ye Haochuan’s delight, Li Mei’s face looked worse than someone who has lost their entire family.

”I’d advise you not to waste your efforts, just watch how we devour your team bite by bite!”

Ye Haochuan’s face was filled with pride, his plan perfectly executed; now he only needs to eliminate the encircled six thousand people, leaving Li Mei’s remaining two thousand doomed to defeat.

”Don’t be cocky, are six thousand people that easy to swallow? Be careful not to break your teeth!” Li Mei said viciously.

Then he turned to one of his subordinates and said, ”Send a message to Okao, tell him to attack the formation foundation of the barrier with all his might. I’d like to see how his few hundred can withstand thousands!”

The message was sent, and Okao’s division quickly reacted, mobilizing thousands of cultivators to attack. Even Okao himself broke free from the Old Sect Master’s entanglement and personally led the team over.

The barrier is indestructible; its only weakness is the formation foundation on both sides of the gorge. Even capturing just one foundation, this barrier would crumble without attack.

”You underestimate the terrain advantage of this gorge!” Ye Haochuan laughed and stopped engaging with Li Mei, turning to lead his men to face Okao’s team.

Ye Haochuan’s forty-four squads hadn’t suffered much in the previous assault; there are still a total of forty squads left. Excluding the six teams for activation and maintenance of the formation foundation, still thirty-four squads nearly two hundred forty people.

Compared to the several thousand Okao brought, over two hundred is indeed not many.

But this is a gorge, and the barrier’s position is the narrowest point in the gorge. Due to the terrain, Ye Haochuan’s more than two hundred can easily form three layers of defense.

On the other hand, Okao’s men, though numerous, couldn’t be arranged properly; only dozens to hundreds could engage Ye Haochuan’s team each time.

Ye Haochuan didn’t passively defend, he led his team forward to attack. With his own formidable combat strength and the elite’s combat strength enhanced by the Genius Seven Kills Formation, they advanced, claiming ten lives with each step.

The greatest combat strength from numerical advantage is encirclement, but due to terrain restrictions, Okao’s men couldn’t surround Ye Haochuan’s. Numbers engaging in direct confrontation each time were similar, immediately collapsing that advantage.

In such moments, each member’s combat ability becomes key to victory.

Now the situation is clear - on combat ability comparison, Ye Haochuan’s team absolutely overwhelms the opposition, enabling them to advance relentlessly.
