"You can all leave." Ye Tianze gripped his spear tightly as he stared at the overwhelming Demon Race army in front of him. He did not turn back to look.
He had imagined many possibilities, and this was also one that he expected to happen. Even though he had the memories of two lives, he wasn't completely confident that he could achieve such an effect.
This time, he gave himself full marks, regardless of whether or not the people behind him chose to abandon him.
As they slaughtered, the aura around the cavalry grew thicker and thicker, constantly eroding his will. He knew that if his will collapsed, he would fall into madness and become a walking corpse that only knew how to kill.
At this moment, he was not only facing the erosion of his will, but also the erosion of the will of the cavalry behind him.
The Heartless Array had great side effects. The longer it lasted, the stronger the erosion. Blood and infernal energy was not as pure as spiritual energy to begin with.
All negative factors gathered within the blood and infernal energy. As for the will of the cavalry, it was like they were locked in a dark cage.
They couldn't last for too long. This was because humans were born to adapt to light. In a world without light, no matter how strong their will was, it would gradually be worn away.
They would struggle, resist, and try to break free from this lightless cage. Thus, Ye Tianze not only had to fight against the blood and infernal energy that was eroding him, but he also had to fight against the will of the cavalry behind him.
If he couldn't suppress the will of the cavalry, then the Heartless Array would break and the cavalry would no longer be able to reform.
If it was just a fight, he wouldn't care, but he was facing his own people, and the people he was suppressing were also his own people. He wanted to see them struggle in pain in the lightless cage, but he had to pretend that he didn't care.
He wanted to release the Heartless Array and end this battle, but he knew that he couldn't do so. He still needed to complete his final tactical objective before he could release them.
The Fey Crown Prince looked at the massive wave of infernal blood and infernal energy. It was like he had encountered a sandstorm. Wherever it went, everything was submerged.
His army had lost its morale. Even though he was blocking the retreat of the army, it was useless.
Fear spread through his army like a plague. His subordinates didn't treat these human cavalries as human beings anymore; instead, they treated these cavalries as evil spirits from hell who came to the human world to harvest lives and bring them to Acheron.
Demons also had fear, especially those small demons. Their willpower was weak. If they won, they would naturally win as well. If they were defeated, they would naturally be defeated as well.
Fear was contagious, even if the demon experts in the army knew that the cavalry behind them were not evil spirits, but living people.
However, they did not dare to turn around. The reason for that was because their clansmen were all fleeing for their lives.
"This is a battle of wills. Whoever perseveres to the end will be victorious!" The Fey Crown Prince understood a fact.
He looked at the Blood Fiendish Qi behind him and finally decided not to stop the army from retreating. Stopping them would only cause more casualties and allow Ye Tianze to kill even more Yao and create even greater fear.
He had never imagined that he would lead an army of a million to attack the human heartland. He had never imagined that this would be the result.
In the end, he had to lead his army to escape. If word of this spread, no one would believe it. But he knew that his reputation in this life would be ruined in this battle.
"As the Fey Master's student, I am ashamed to receive his teachings." The Fey Crown Prince thought to himself.
At this moment, his teacher, the Fey Master, was leading an army of four million to surround Zhu Que City. Step by step, he was strangling the human race's most elite legions.
All he needed to do was take down the Heavenly South. He didn't even need to pose any threat to the Southern Border to obtain unparalleled merits. This was a gold-plated war that the Fey Master had planned for him. Once he succeeded, his position as Crown Prince would be solidified. He would have a stable transition to become the next Fey Emperor!
But all of this had been ruined by him! What a shameful scene it was to be chased down by a thousand people. His brothers, as well as the Fey Race's opponents, would definitely use this matter to put him to death!
What was laughable was that before he set off, he had told the nine generals under him that the human race had learned all the good and bad, especially the bad.
"Weakling, in front of him, I am indeed a weakling!" The Fey Crown Prince's expression was pained.
No one wanted to be the general of a defeated army, let alone be defeated so badly.
Ye Tianze chased the Fey Race army for a full five days. During these five days, he didn't stop at all. His spiritual power had long been exhausted.
What kept him going was the terrifying Blood Fiendish Qi. He knew that once the Blood Fiendish Qi fused into his body, his Sea of Consciousness and Sea of Qi would no longer be able to hold on. That would be the moment he fell to the demonic path.
For the Spherical Heaven Combat Body, the Blood Fiendish Qi could be a supreme cultivation treasure, but it could also be a poison that could kill him.
It was just a matter of how much was used. Even Ye Tianze couldn't control the Blood Fiendish Qi that exceeded his limit. He could only fight when his will was clear.
He couldn't care less about what would happen after his death. From the moment he left the city, he had already come up with the determination to die.
After five days of fighting, Ye Tianze's consciousness gradually began to blur. In the end, he still couldn't withstand the resistance of the knights' wills.
"A thousand miles … five days … should be enough for you to leave." Ye Tianze raised his sword and chopped off the head of a Fey Race soldier.
Without hesitation, he used the Spherical Heaven Technique to absorb the soldier's Qi, blood, and resentment before his death and integrated them into the Heartless Formation of the Blood Fiend Cavalry.
At this moment, the Fey Race had completed their reorganization during their retreat. As Ye Tianze's consciousness became blurry, it was inevitable that he would make some mistakes in his judgment.
The Fey Race Crown Prince took advantage of these mistakes to regain control of the army. Although they were still retreating, they didn't look as defeated as they did before.
The Fey Race army was still afraid of the thousand-man cavalry, but they seemed to have discovered that the cavalry wasn't as sharp as before.
"Your Highness Crown Prince, now is the best time to counterattack!" The Ox Demon Tribe's Commander said.
"Wait a little longer. His Blood Fiendish Qi is too strong. If we counterattack now, even if we can eliminate the thousand-man cavalry, we'll have to pay a huge price." The Fey Race Crown Prince said, "When he enters the demonic state, we won't need to waste a single soldier to annihilate them!"
The Commanders understood what he meant. The Crown Prince was still the Crown Prince from before. He didn't care about casualties. It was just that in these five days, Ye Tianze had chased them for a thousand miles and killed nearly a hundred thousand of them.
Such casualties had far exceeded the Fey Master's evaluation of this battle. It would be difficult to explain this to the Fey Race. If there were more casualties, his position as Crown Prince would become unstable.
"Ye Tianze, you're about to enter the demonic state!" The Fey Race Crown Prince shouted.
Entering the demonic state meant losing consciousness. Human cavalry with consciousness and without consciousness were two completely different things, especially against such a terrible opponent.
"If you hadn't returned to Yuxu Sect at the beginning, perhaps you would have become the most terrible opponent of the Fey Race in the future. Unfortunately, your vision is still too narrow."
The Fey Race Crown Prince said, "Even if you can defeat my million-man army, so what? You can save Yuxu Sect, but you can't save the entire Human Race. Moreover, only those who survive are the real strong. Those who die are all ashes! "
Ye Tianze's heart moved. He knew that the Fey Race Crown Prince was attacking the mind. When one's consciousness was extremely weak, this kind of attack was very easy to succeed.
If Ye Tianze's attack on the mind was a step-by-step plan, interlocking and brewing successfully, then the Fey Race Crown Prince's attack on the mind was simple and direct, without any concealment.
And at this moment, it seemed that there was no need for any concealment.
He could save Yuxu Sect, but he couldn't save the entire Human Race. He won this battle, but he couldn't win the huge gap between the Human Race and the entire Fey Race.
The Fey Race Crown Prince simply and directly told him that everything he did wouldn't have much effect.
It was like a stone thrown into a calm lake. Even if it could set off ripples for a short time, the general trend of the world would still smooth the waves and make them invisible.
A person's strength was, after all, humble. Ye Tianze deeply felt his own inferiority at this moment.
His vision gradually blurred, and his will began to waver. Because everything he fought for would come to nothing. After the war, he would sink to the bottom of the lake like the stone thrown into the lake.
As time went by, no one would remember him.
At this moment, the will of the thousand cavalrymen he suppressed also began the fiercest struggle. Looking at those familiar faces, Ye Tianze suddenly thought of those who had fought side by side with him.
The collapse of the will was often like a tower that had lost its foundation. It was just a moment, because as long as one thought was shaken, all the thoughts would be shaken.
Therefore, persistence was often so difficult. To overcome all the wavering thoughts, he had to overcome himself. But he was too tired.
At that moment, Ye Tianze felt a wave of loneliness wash over him like a tidal wave.
"Hum!"
The thousand cavalrymen suddenly stopped, like a chariot that stopped abruptly when charging at the fiercest.
Looking at the thousand cavalrymen who were full of blood and evil spirit, the Fey Race army ran for a mile and finally stopped. They were also very matched.
These "evil spirits" finally stopped. At this moment, many Fey Race soldiers fell to the ground in groups.
The huge pressure in the past five days had made them reach their limit. When the pressure suddenly disappeared, they finally collapsed.
However, only a few Fey Race soldiers with weak will fell down. Most of the Fey Race soldiers were still standing. Facing the Human Race cavalrymen, they had complicated emotions in their eyes.
There was uneasiness, confusion, fear, but also a trace of admiration for a powerful opponent!
"Finally … it's over?" The Fey Race Crown Prince breathed a sigh of relief. The Human Race cavalrymen in the blood and evil spirit were like statues.
