There were simply too many beast reinforcements.
Their figures filled every corner of Li City, blotting out the sky and covering the earth like a tidal wave.
The Kongming Temple's four armies were not mentally prepared, so the sudden attack of hundreds of thousands of beasts naturally gave them quite a fright.
Even the four Temple Masters were momentarily stunned. They could not think of a good countermeasure and hurriedly reported the situation to the First Temple Master.
In fact, the First Temple Master had discovered the beast reinforcements earlier than them and had also observed their numbers. There were as many as four hundred thousand beasts.
From that moment on, the First Temple Master's expression became somewhat unsightly, and his eyes were extremely grave.
When the four Temple Masters sent him a message asking for a countermeasure, only two breaths had passed.
In these two breaths, the First Temple Master had already thought through the cause and effect and made a decisive decision.
The hundreds of thousands of beast reinforcements seemed frightening, but in reality, their average strength was not very strong.
Even if the Kongming Temple's four armies were surrounded and there was no way they could defeat the hundreds of thousands of beast reinforcements, it was not as if they had no chance of escaping.
Thus, the First Temple Master decisively ordered the four armies to immediately gather their forces and break out of the encirclement.
No matter what, no matter the price, the four armies had to break out of the encirclement.
Right now, the Kongming Temple's goal was not to break into Li City, nor was it to capture the young Flood God Emperor, nor was it to slaughter the beasts of Li City.
Instead, it was to preserve as much of their strength as possible!
After the four Temple Masters received the order, they did not hesitate and immediately led their soldiers to break out of the encirclement with all their might.
This was something that had to be done. The four armies did not have any thoughts of resistance. They all followed the four Temple Masters' orders and arranged themselves into a sharp knife formation to break out of the encirclement as quickly as possible.
Everyone was well aware that the hundreds of thousands of beast reinforcements were enough to overwhelm them and annihilate them.
And they had no way out. Behind them was Li City's defensive formation.
Once the battle began, the beast army within Li City would definitely charge out to join the battle and attack them from both inside and outside.
At that time, the three thousand elite Godkings would really be powerless to reverse the situation. They would be dead for sure.
The four Temple Masters did not need to boost morale. The elite Godkings had to do their best to save their lives.
"Shua!"
As the dazzling divine light flashed, the two sides rapidly approached each other in the sky, and then fiercely collided.
"Boom!"
"Peng peng peng!"
As soon as they met, both sides released their most powerful divine abilities and lost skills, launching a fierce collision.
Every Palace Master led an army of between eight hundred to nine hundred people.
As for the reinforcements that surrounded them, there were as many as seventy to eighty thousand beasts.
This was despite the fact that the difference in numbers between the two sides was around ninety times.
However, in the first round of battle, the four armies of the Kongming Temple did not fall into a disadvantageous position. Instead, they gained the upper hand.
Led by the four Hall Masters, they were at the very top of the sword formation and were also the first to cut into the Beast Race's reinforcements.
With their God Emperor Stage powers, they unleashed peerlessly powerful divine abilities and killed several dozen beasts in a single exchange.
At the same time, they blocked most of the attacks from the beastmen's reinforcements for their soldiers.
Many elite Divine Kings followed closely behind. They followed the four Hall Masters and charged forward. The effect was very obvious.
After two breaths of time, the first round of battle ended.
At this moment, the four armies of the Kongming Temple had advanced by several dozen kilometers. The total number of casualties was only slightly more than twenty people.
On the other hand, the Beast Race reinforcements' formation had been torn apart. The number of casualties was also close to two thousand!
The difference in numbers between the two sides was close to a hundred times, but the number of casualties was also close to a hundred times.
This was simply too shocking!
At the same time, this also directly proved how powerful the Kongming Temple was.
However … the advantage that the Kongming Temple had was quickly exhausted.
When the four armies cut into the Beast Race reinforcements' formation, they were completely surrounded by the Beast Race reinforcements. It was as if they had sunk into a swamp.
Even though the four Hall Masters were powerful and could kill many beasts, almost no one could get close to them.
However, the elite Divine Kings under their command were weak and their fighting strength had greatly decreased. They were like arrows at the end of their flight.
On average, each Divine King of the Kongming Temple was surrounded by dozens to hundreds of beasts.
No matter how powerful they were, under the siege of countless Beast Race reinforcements, they were unable to display their abilities, let alone have much effect.
Therefore, in the sky around Li City, the situation on the battlefield immediately changed.
Everyone could clearly see that the four armies had plunged headfirst into the sea of beasts. At first, they had charged very quickly and violently for more than a hundred kilometers.
However, soon after, the four armies were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Beast Race reinforcements. They were like ships submerged by raging waves, bobbing up and down in the huge waves.
The speed of the four armies' advance slowed down again and again until they had sunk into a swamp. They began to struggle and wriggle slowly.
Even though the Beast Race reinforcements' casualties were still increasing, the resistance of the four armies was getting weaker and weaker. Casualties also began to appear and gradually increased.
This was the result that everyone had expected.
When two armies fought, it was as the saying went: the first drum of energy, the second would weaken, and the third would be exhausted.
When the momentum of the four armies was exhausted and the four Hall Masters were surrounded and unable to escape, the four armies would begin to lose.
The Hall Masters were also mentally prepared. They did not hope to be able to lead their soldiers to retreat unscathed. They only hoped to preserve as much of their strength as possible.
Simply put … they wanted to preserve as much of their lives as possible.
Just as the two sides were engaged in a chaotic battle, a huge door suddenly opened in the defensive formation that enveloped Li City.
From the dazzling door of light, a handsome black-haired youth in white robes flew out first.
He stepped across the sky with a cold expression. He held a divine sword that was as black as ink in his right hand and headed straight for the battlefield in the north.
There, a hundred and twenty thousand Beast Race reinforcements were besieging the First Hall Master, Second Hall Master, and more than eight hundred elite God Kings. Both sides were engaged in an earth-shattering battle as divine light flashed.
Immediately after, two tall figures flew out from the five-colored door of light of the defensive formation.
They were Lie Tian and Yan Li. Both of them had cold expressions and their bodies were filled with killing intent that soared into the sky.
In order to wait for this day, they had suffered and endured for far too long.
At this moment, the anger, hatred, and killing intent that had been accumulating in their hearts for a long time could finally be released!
When Lie Tian and Yan Li flew across the sky, more than five thousand Beast Race God Kings flew out from the five-colored door of light.
These five thousand Beast Race God Kings were selected by Lie Tian and Yan Li from the tens of thousands of Beast Race troops.
Although they had participated in the battle to protect Li City and expended a large amount of divine power, they were still in good condition.
However, they were in relatively good condition, and their strength was preserved better. They still had the strength to fight!
These five thousand Beast Race God Kings followed Lie Tian and Yan Li closely and headed straight for the battlefield in the north.
