The reinforcements from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect didn't form into a ten-thousand-man formation and rushed over in haste. They gave it their all and rushed over. Only now when they saw Qin Wentian leading his troops over did they halt and form into a battle formation.
Qin Wentian had already led the experts from the thirty-nine battle formations here. Taking advantage of the fact that the reinforcements hadn't completed their formation, they directly charged in. The gigantic ox demon was like a demon god, its roars of rage shook the heavens and earth. Terrifying greater demons spat out from the ox demon's mouth, annihilating everything in their path. At the same time, the ox demon's palms slammed down as a demonic dragon roared in rage, slamming into the enemy's formation. It was unknown how many experts were killed in that instant.
The other battle formations also erupted forth with tyrannical strength at the same time. The morale of those at the back was greatly boosted when they saw this scene. Their battle intent towered up into the sky as they frenziedly killed their way into the Dongshengxian Gate's army. Before the Dongshengxian Gate could gather their strength to form a battle formation, they had already slaughtered their way into their formation.
The elite battle formations of the Dongshengxian Gate were all gathered on the other side of the battlefield. There weren't many elite battle formations here and none of them were able to resist against the powerful formation led by Qin Wentian. The Dongshengxian Gate's army followed Qin Wentian's lead and fought in all directions. The battle was actually one-sided. On the contrary, the weaker side of the Immortal Qianbian Gate had a huge advantage.
In the air, the expressions of the immortal kings from the Dongshengxian Gate grew increasingly unsightly. This time around, they were the ones who gave the order to destroy the Immortal Qianbian Gate at all costs. However, things didn't turn out as they wished. On the battlefield, the situation was changing rapidly and their Dongshengxian Gate was now the weaker side.
"Seems like the Immortal Qianbian Gate didn't send their elite disciples to the battlefield?" In the air, the immortal king of the Dongshengxian Gate coldly spoke. He naturally understood that battle formations would ultimately depend on the individual's combat prowess. It would be best if the power of these battle formations could be unleashed by a single person. The stronger the person, the greater the might of the battle formation. Be it the Dongshengxian Gate or the Immortal Qianbian Gate, there would be some elite disciples on the battlefield, forming elite battle formations.
Therefore, he organized 5,000 people from the Invincible Legion as a surprise attack and suddenly descended on the battlefield. 5,000 people from the Invincible Legion formed into 50 elite battle formations, which could be of great use on the battlefield. Their appearance even allowed Dongshengxian Gate to use half of its forces to fight against the people from Dongshengxian Gate, and even caused chaos at Dongshengxian Gate. One could imagine how rare it was to have elites.
However, the sudden appearance of the Thirty-nine Battle Formation Elite Armament disrupted everything and reversed the situation of the battle. The realms of the members of the Thirty-nine Battle Formation weren't too high, but the person controlling the formation was definitely extremely powerful.
"Everyone retreat!" The immortal king of the Dongshengxian Gate gave the order to retreat. There was no way for this battle to continue. If they continued to fight, their losses would definitely be greater than the other side.
The army of the Dongshengxian Gate began to retreat. How could the experts of the Immortal Qianbian Gate let go of such a good opportunity? They chased after them in a frenzy. The yellow sand in the sky was dyed red by blood. The setting sun hung high in the sky, yet it was still as red as blood.
After the army of the Dongshengxian Gate retreated, the army of the Immortal Qianbian Gate formed a long battle line. Soldiers of the Immortal Qianbian Gate could be seen everywhere. They drew in a deep breath, feeling completely exhausted. However, when they stared into the distance, a trace of a smile could be seen in their eyes. This was a great victory. Their Immortal Qianbian Gate was restricted in every aspect. They had never obtained such a great victory before, killing tens of thousands of enemies and causing the army of the Dongshengxian Gate to flee in a sorry state. In fact, many of their elite battle formations even lost their lives.
In the air, a group of experts soared through the air, heading back to the direction of the Immortal Qianbian Gate. They didn't truly want to take down Han City. That was merely a tactic. Now that they obtained a great victory, they naturally had to return to Yuan City.
"It's the army of Tianwen. The army of Tianwen is so terrifying, even more effective than the elite battle formations." The eyes of the experts in the army flashed with a strange light. This time, it was all thanks to the battle formations led by Tianwen. If not, they would have suffered a crushing defeat.
Many of them looked at Qin Wentian with reverence in their eyes. This was a battlefield, and they had even forgotten about Qin Wentian's cultivation base. They had forgotten that many of them had a higher cultivation base than Qin Wentian and were considered seniors. At this moment, they only revere the army that led them to victory.
"Let's return, we have to prepare a celebratory feast." Everyone returned. At the same time, there were people cleaning up the battlefield.
After this battle, Qin Wentian's reputation reached a peak in the army. Everyone knew about the Tianwen Battle Formation and the Tianwen Army. This was an undefeatable army.
After this battle, the Dongshengxian Gate didn't take the initiative to attack for a long time. On the contrary, the Immortal Qianbian Gate would often send their army to provoke them, and there were victories and defeats on both sides.
After that, the Immortal Qianbian Gate's army was reorganized. Qin Wentian's achievements allowed him to be officially appointed as the commander of the Immortal Qianbian Gate's army. He led a Tianwen Army that was composed entirely of elites. There were a total of 3,600 people under Qin Wentian's command.
More than half a year had passed since that great victory. In the past, Dongshengxian Gate would always have the upper hand against the Immortal Qianbian Gate. But now, they couldn't gain any advantage at all. In fact, they didn't even take the initiative to attack. Within the Immortal Qianbian Gate, a sense of arrogance gradually grew. They were no longer as cautious as before. Many people would often go to the Dongshengxian Gate to challenge them. Today, an army of 1,000 people went to the Dongshengxian Gate, but they never returned. Not a single one of them managed to escape alive.
In the army camp, the army supervisor gathered all the commanders for a discussion. In the main hall, Qin Wentian and the other commanders of the Immortal Qianbian Gate gathered. They were all clad in armor and looked heroic. Qin Wentian's armor shone brightly, but he still wore a mask on his face. He had always been like this in the army, mysterious and unfathomable. Many people didn't even know what this Tianwen Army commander looked like. They only knew that his cultivation wasn't high, but his combat prowess was extremely high. His army was invincible.
"In the battle at the frontline just now, all 1,000 soldiers died. The Dongshengxian Gate has formed an ace army. They should be under the direct command of the Dongshengxian Gate. They are here to assist in the battle and eliminate us. I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Dongshengxian Gate launches another round of attack. What do you all think?" the army supervisor looked at everyone and asked.
"Ace army? Are their combat prowess very strong?" Someone asked.
"Very strong, they are all at the seventh-level of immortal-foundation or above. Also, the ones controlling the battle formations have extremely powerful combat prowess. If the Dongshengxian Gate managed to form such an army, we would definitely be in danger." The army supervisor replied.
"When soldiers come, we'll deal with them. Before this, we forced them back twice and obtained a complete victory once. Now that we've reorganized the Tianwen Army, our combat prowess shouldn't be inferior to the Dongshengxian Gate, right?" Someone turned his gaze to Qin Wentian. However, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice. Qin Wentian was only at the second-level of immortal-foundation yet his prestige in the army had already reached the peak. Who didn't know that the Tianwen Army was the ace army of the Dongshengxian Gate? The credit for the two battles they fought earlier was all because of Qin Wentian, causing some people to be extremely unhappy.
"Tianwen, what do you think?" The army supervisor stared at Qin Wentian as he asked.
"Fight." Qin Wentian spoke, his words causing the eyes of the army supervisor to flash. He stared at Qin Wentian, "Tianwen, speak clearly."
"Although the Dongshengxian Gate has already recovered its strength, the army of our Immortal Qianbian Gate isn't inferior in any way. I hope that Commander can take the initiative to fight and completely crush the army of the Dongshengxian Gate stationed in Hancheng. If we can obtain such a victory, I believe we would be able to gather even more immortal-foundation experts to join the war."
Qin Wentian slowly spoke. "If not, everyone in the thirteen prefectures, including the six prefectures in the west, would think that we would definitely lose. Although we won a great victory earlier, it wasn't sufficient to raise the morale of our army. If we can occupy Hancheng, the prestige of our Immortal Qianbian Gate would surely rise to another level."
Everyone stared at Qin Wentian in shock. Was this fellow crazy? He wanted to destroy the army of the Dongshengxian Gate and occupy Hancheng in one fell swoop?
During these years, the Dongshengxian Gate had always been the one with the initiative, while the Immortal Qianbian Gate had always been in a passive state of defense. They could only hope that they wouldn't be defeated under the ferocious attacks of the Dongshengxian Gate. But now, Qin Wentian actually wanted to take over Hancheng?
"Do you really think so?" The eyes of the supervising officer flickered as he stared at Qin Wentian.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded, "The Immortal Qianbian Gate needs a great victory."
"You're right. But even if we win and occupy Hancheng, the Dongshengxian Gate would surely lead their army to launch a comeback, shocking the world. At that time, we would face even greater pressure. In fact, the Dongshengxian Gate might even launch a great expedition against our six prefectures." The army supervisor spoke to Qin Wentian.
"The Dongshengxian Gate's expedition will happen sooner or later. Senior, do you think we can avoid it? Why don't we use a great victory to announce the might of our Immortal Qianbian Gate? If the Dongshengxian Gate really sends more troops over, we can just retreat. Let's see if they dare to enter the six prefectures. Even the number of troops of the Dongshengxian Gate is limited. They are afraid of exhausting their strength." Qin Wentian casually spoke.
"Fine, I will convey your words to General Niu. If General Niu agrees, we will have to make proper arrangements." The army supervisor smiled. After that, he stood up and walked out, leaving behind Qin Wentian and the other commanders.
Those commanders turned their gazes to Qin Wentian. One of their eyes gleamed with sharpness as he spoke, "Don't you know that given our combat strength, it's impossible for us to destroy the Dongshengxian Gate's army? Even if you fight to the death, I'm afraid the casualties of the Dongshengxian Gate wouldn't be too far off from us."
"What do you think we should do?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Wait, wait for an opportunity." The other party replied.
"Opportunity? There will never be an opportunity. " Qin Wentian stood up and walked out as he slowly spoke, "The Immortal Qianbian Gate's foundation is too weak against the Dongshengxian Gate. If this continues, the Immortal Qianbian Gate won't stand a chance. We need victory, a great victory, allowing the six prefectures to rise again. We need to let the people of the six prefectures see that our Immortal Qianbian Gate can defeat the Dongshengxian Gate."
