Caught between a rock and a hard place, Mo Xie did not make another move. He was caught in an extremely awkward situation. He could choose to retreat, but Mo Xie knew very well that once he gave the order to retreat, Xiao Chen would definitely lead his forces to attack. When that happened, the Night Ghost Pavilion would be at a disadvantage while the Holy Palace would be at an advantage. The Night Ghost Pavilion would be at a disadvantage while the Holy Palace would be at an advantage.
As the saying goes, a defeated army is like a landslide. Once they chose to retreat, the Night Ghost Pavilion would lose this battle. Mo Xie knew very well that Xiao Chen would not give them a chance to regroup. He would definitely use this opportunity to beat them while they were down.
On the other hand, if they did not choose to retreat and fought to the end with Xiao Chen, the result would be obvious. Fu Jin would be killed by Long Qing, and Xing Gang might be able to kill one or two of the Azure Supreme Thearch's trio. It would still be a bloody loss.
If it were Xiao Chen, Chen Yu, Chen Ling, and Long Qing's lives, Mo Xie might have considered it. However, it was exchanging the lives of the Azure Supreme Thearch's trio for Fu Jin's life. This was too much of a loss.
The Azure Supreme Thearch's trio was not strong enough to face the Night Ghost Pavilion's Holy Son. They would definitely lose in a one-on-one battle. Now that both sides were exchanging lives, it meant that they were exchanging their lives for the lives of their generals. Only an idiot would agree to such a deal.
Seeing that Mo Xie was silent and conflicted, Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to attack. Now, it was up to Mo Xie to decide. As long as Mo Xie gave the order to retreat, Xiao Chen would definitely lead his men to chase after them.
He would definitely not give Mo Xie any time to rest. He would chase Mo Xie out of the Blood Demon Continent and end this battle once and for all.
He waited for Mo Xie's answer with a mocking expression. At this moment, Mo Xie realized that he had fallen into Xiao Chen's trap again. Every time he fought with Xiao Chen, he was always the one at a disadvantage.
He was unwilling, extremely unwilling. For a moment, Mo Xie even wanted to disregard everything and fight with Xiao Chen to the end.
But very quickly, Mo Xie's last bit of rationality pulled him back. Not trustworthy, absolutely not trustworthy.
Even if they gave up on Fu Jin and fought to the end with Xiao Chen, the Night Ghost Pavilion would only have five Holy Sons if they lost Fu Jin, while the Holy Palace would have at least eight Holy Sons left. If that was the case, the Holy Palace would be at a disadvantage in the next battle. It was even possible that the Night Ghost Pavilion would lose another Holy Son.
He couldn't give up on the ambush. Once he did, the balance would completely tip towards Xiao Chen's side. However, if he didn't give up, he could only retreat. Once he retreated, Mo Xie didn't think that he could still stay on the Blood Demon Continent. The only way was to escape the Blood Demon Continent and end this battle in defeat.
If he retreated, he would definitely lose, but he would be able to preserve his strength. If he fought head-on, there might be variables, but the probability was too small. In fact, it was very likely that he would pay an even more painful price.
The Holy Palace could afford to lose their Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, but the Night Ghost Pavilion could not afford to lose them. Facing the conflicted Mo Xie, Xiao Chen finally spoke.
"Sorry to interrupt, Brother Mo Xie. I'm afraid that Fu Jin won't be able to hold on much longer."
Xiao Chen's tone was very relaxed, as if he wasn't on the battlefield at all. Hearing this, Mo Xie turned to look at Fu Jin. Indeed, Fu Jin had been injured by Chang Qing, and his injuries were even more serious.
He had to make a choice quickly. Otherwise, Fu Jin would definitely be in danger.
Mo Xie was in a dilemma, and Xiao Chen was also in a bad mood. The reason was very simple. The Qing Supreme Thearch and the other two weren't doing too well, especially Quan Lan.
Quan Lan was originally a Formation Master, and combat strength wasn't her forte. Now, Xing Gang had locked his target on Quan Lan. Even though the Qing Supreme Thearch and Bai Yi were giving it their all, Quan Lan was still under a lot of pressure.
Quan Lan wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. Therefore, Xiao Chen's heart was also sweating. To be honest, although Quan Lan's strength wasn't as good as Fu Jin's, Xiao Chen definitely didn't want to see Quan Lan exchange her life with Fu Jin. It wasn't for anything else, but because of their relationship.
Although he was anxious, Xiao Chen couldn't show it. Otherwise, he might be used by Mo Xie.
The smile on his face didn't fade as he looked at Mo Xie, and he didn't rush him.
All of this took a long time to describe, but it had only been ten or twenty breaths of time. Finally, after a moment of silence, Mo Xie made a decision. He looked at Xiao Chen and said fiercely,
"Xiao Chen, I will definitely kill you in this life. I will remember what happened today."
"Anytime." Hearing this, Xiao Chen chuckled.
Mo Xie had finally made his choice. It was the perfect ending that Xiao Chen had predicted. This way, the Sacred Palace wouldn't have to pay any price.
After saying this, Mo Xie ignored Xiao Chen and shouted, "Everyone, retreat to the starship."
The Night Ghost Pavilion's experts, who were still fighting fiercely, were all stunned when they heard Mo Xie's words. Just as Mo Xie had predicted, the Night Ghost Pavilion's morale weakened significantly.
Retreat? Why did they retreat just like that? Everyone was confused, but soon, Mo Xie's voice rang out again. "Everyone, retreat to the starship. Kill anyone who disobeys."
This was a death order. For a moment, the Night Ghost Pavilion members couldn't care less about anything else. They all turned around and fled. Hao Zong, who was fighting fiercely with Chen Yu, also retreated. Chen Yu didn't chase after him.
Standing dozens of meters away, Hao Zong finally understood what had happened. He said with an admiring smile on his face.
"Fighting the strong with the weak. The Sacred Palace has good methods. It looks like we've lost this battle."
"That's right. Once you run, we will definitely kill you. Therefore, you've lost this battle." Chen Yu didn't hide anything and said with a smile.
It was obvious that they wanted to kill you. Hao Zong smiled bitterly when he heard Chen Yu's words. "In that case, brother Chen Yu, we'll meet again if fate wills it."
"Haha, brother Hao Zong, hurry up and run. It'll be easier for me to kill you if you run." Chen Yu laughed heartily.
Chen Yu naturally didn't think that he could kill Hao Zong here. With his strength, it wouldn't be easy to kill him. In Chen Yu's opinion, if he wanted to kill Hao Zong, Xiao Chen, Chen Ling, or Long Qing would have to join forces with one of them. Only then would they have a chance of killing Hao Zong. Therefore, Chen Yu didn't want to do anything to Hao Zong.
Hao Zong didn't reply to Chen Yu's teasing words. He turned around and left. At the same time, as the Night Ghost Pavilion retreated, Xiao Chen raised his arm and shouted to Gao Shen.
"Brothers of the Sacred Palace, the Night Ghost Pavilion has been defeated. Follow me and kill them."
"Kill!"
Apart from the Chosens, Saintesses, and Sacred Sovereigns, the other disciples and elders of the Sacred Palace didn't know what had happened. They also didn't know about Xiao Chen's plan. However, now that the Night Ghost Pavilion had been defeated, everyone's morale was naturally high. When they heard Xiao Chen's words, they all charged towards the Night Ghost Pavilion with overflowing killing intent.
