The initiative was in Ji Tianxing's hands.
The Lian Er, Liang Jianqing, and the others were in a very passive situation. They could neither advance nor retreat.
But Ji Tianxing was still slaughtering the army, and it was only getting more and more intense.
As time passed, batch after batch of elite experts were reduced to a bloody mist by the sword lights and gales.
The Lian Er and the others could not sit by and do nothing. They had to think of a way to resolve this situation.
It was impossible to suppress or stop Ji Tianxing.
No matter how they attacked, they could not affect Ji Tianxing.
The only solution was to block the sword formation's power and protect the army around them.
The Lian Er only hesitated for a few seconds before decisively making his decision.
"Protect the army with all your strength and block the sword formation's power!"
As his voice fell, the expressions and eyes of many higher Divine Lords dimmed.
They all thought to themselves that they had known this would be the result. In the end, they still had to sacrifice themselves to protect the army.
But they all knew that this was their only choice.
They had to protect the army and work together with the army to block the sword formation's attack. The longer they could last, the greater their chances of victory.
Once the sword formation's power weakened or when Ji Tianxing could no longer maintain his transparent state, they would have a chance to turn the tide.
Swish!
The Lian Er was the first to retreat, flying toward a nearby group of elites. He brandished his two sabers and sent out saber images to block the sword formation's attack.
This group of elites had more than four hundred people. Ninety percent of them were Celestial Gods, and only thirty-some were Divine Lords.
Six mid-level Divine Lords and more than twenty low-level Divine Lords used all their strength to block the sword light and protect more than four hundred experts.
But the effect was minimal. They simply could not block the sword rain, and all of them were heavily injured.
In just one hundred seconds, more than half of the Celestial Gods had died, and ten Lower God Lords had died. Even three Middle God Lords had been killed.
This group of people was in despair. Their will to fight had completely disappeared, and they began to think of surrendering and fleeing.
Fortunately, the Lian Er rushed over and helped them block the majority of the sword lights, greatly reducing the pressure on them.
The rate at which this group of people died had clearly decreased by half.
Only then did they recover and calm down a lot.
Under the leadership of several middle-level Divine Lords, they joined forces to form a battle formation. They worked together to form a protective shield that blocked the sword rain that filled the sky.
Liang Jianqing, Ye Liang An, and the dozens of higher Divine Lords were relieved when they saw that Lian Er had taken the lead in rescuing the army and that the results were obvious.
Everyone no longer hesitated and flew in all directions to rescue the army that had fallen into a desperate situation.
Liang Jianqing, Ye Liang An, the Four Directions God Generals and the three elders Po Xing were all eighth stage realm upper level God Monarchs and their abilities were the strongest.
They could act alone and protect a team of three to five hundred people.
The other High Divine Lords did not have that kind of ability, so they formed groups of two or three and joined forces to protect a group.
Very quickly, the various High Divine Lords finished their assignments.
More than fifty High Divine Lords could only protect twenty six teams, which was around seven thousand people.
The remaining eight teams, about two thousand people, were all at the edge of the battlefield, far away.
The numerous High Divine Lords were unable to take care of these people and could only resign themselves to fate.
Very quickly, the difference became very obvious and obvious.
Those eight teams of two thousand people only lasted for half an hour in the sword formation before they were all slaughtered.
As for those twenty six teams, they had the protection of many High Divine Lords so the casualty rate was obviously much lower.
After half an hour, only a thousand people were seriously injured or dead.
The battle situation had developed to this stage and was gradually stabilizing and easing up.
Although Prince Lian's army had lost more than half and was only left with about six thousand people, they still managed to stabilize themselves.
They were no longer flustered and helpless. Their fighting spirit and confidence had recovered by quite a bit.
They all had reason to believe that as long as they continued to persevere, the first person who could not hold on would definitely be Ji Tianxing!
Whereas this army of theirs was like sand being washed away by the waves. Those who were left were all elites and true battle-hardened soldiers!
Seeing that the power of the Heaven Punishing Sword Formation had reached its peak, it was very difficult to raise it any further.
Lian Er, Liang Jianqing, Ye Liang An and the others had other thoughts.
They protected several teams and slowly brought them closer to the center of the sword formation.
Lian Er's thoughts were very clear. He wanted to gather the army to the center of the sword formation and work together to kill Ji Tianxing.
The other High Divine Lords also understood Lian Er's intentions.
Thus, they also did their best to protect the various teams and gradually rushed to the center of the sword formation.
Seeing that the twenty six teams were all slowly moving closer to Ji Tianxing, his situation gradually became more and more dangerous.
According to the speed of the various teams, they would be able to complete the encirclement in at most fifteen minutes.
At that time, the twenty six teams would work together to block the sword rain and surround Ji Tianxing, and he would be powerless to reverse the situation.
Of course, this was only what everyone was thinking.
They simply could not imagine that Ji Tianxing was invincible below the Divine King level.
He could use Infinite Sky of Chaos for long periods of time and maintain a transparent state, becoming one with the world.
Whether it was six to ten hours or a day, this army would not be able to harm him.
But he did not want to do that and stall for time with Lian Er and the others.
Even if the twenty six teams surrounded him, they would not be able to injure him.
But if the army worked together to block the sword formation's attack, the effect would be more significant, and the rate of casualties would be further reduced.
Originally, Ji Tianxing might only need two hours to end this battle and slaughter the army.
If the twenty-six teams were to surround him, it would take him four hours, six hours, or even ten hours to finish the battle.
This place was very close to the Raging Flame Royal City, and the longer the battle dragged on, the more variables there would be.
Ending the battle quickly was the right way.
Thus, Ji Tianxing ended the Infinite Sky of Chaos state and his body returned to normal.
He no longer controlled the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation and allowed it to operate on its own.
Under such circumstances, the power of the sword formation would be halved, but he did not need to divert his attention to control the sword formation and could focus on dealing with Lian Er and the others.
Whoosh!
A white light flashed.
Ji Tianxing instantly teleported eight hundred miles and appeared behind a team.
He clenched his left hand into a fist and punched out a mountain-sized Dragon-Elephant phantom, while his right hand swung the Burial Of Heaven and slashed out a giant sword that was ten thousand meters long.
There were only two hundred people left in this team, and most of them were injured and covered in blood. They looked very wretched.
Three high-level Divine Lords worked together to protect this team. They were constantly breaking through the sword light blockade and rushing toward the center of the sword formation.
They did not expect Ji Tianxing to suddenly attack.
When the Dragon-Elephant phantom arrived and the giant sword descended, it was too late for this team to dodge.
"Boom!"
There was a deafening sound as the Dragon-Elephant phantom struck the crowd and blasted a huge hole in the formation.
At least forty experts were blasted into pieces by the Dragon-Elephant Divine Fist and exploded into a bloody mist.
Then, the giant sword that was ten thousand meters long slashed down and split the team in two.
Two mid-level Divine Lords, four low-level Divine Lords, and more than fifty Divine Realm experts were also blasted into pieces by the giant sword and died on the spot.
