An Ambush
Ye Zichen licked his lips and slowly took a few steps forward.
Retreating was inevitable, but he needed to delay Gu Li and Black Dragon.
Whoosh.
He flapped his wings and landed in the sky.
Black Dragon and Gu Li simply stood in the sky, as if waiting for him to return.
At that moment, Gu Li's gaze fell upon Ye Zichen's right arm. It was twisted and hung limply by his side.
"Emperor Ye, you're injured?"
Ye Zichen smiled calmly.
"Emperor Ye, are you envious of my self-healing abilities now?" Gu Li pursed his lips and laughed teasingly. "At our level of physical strength, it'll take at least three to five days for your arm to heal. Even when you weren't injured, Emperor Ye struggled so much. So …. Are you thinking of running now? "
Gu Li's fingers trembled. When he saw this, he pursed his lips into a smile.
"It seems I hit the nail on the head. But perhaps it wasn't very nice of me to say 'running'. How could Emperor Ye possibly run? You're probably making a strategic retreat, right? You're thinking of the bigger picture, right? "
"Do you remember what I told you a long time ago?" Ye Zichen, who'd been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
"What did you say?" laughed Gu Li.
"Die from talking too much," sneered Ye Zichen. "That's exactly what I'm talking about."
"Hah ….."
Gu Li's expression froze, but before long, he returned to his habitual playful expression.
Die from talking too much?
Ye Zichen loved mocking his enemies when they were in despair. He was willing to give his enemies hope, then make them despair.
Perhaps this really was a bad habit, but he loved it.
"But I've never died before."
Black Dragon glanced at him coolly. To tell the truth, he was rather annoyed by Gu Li's attitude. When he was about to die, he was as cowardly as a coward. Now that he had the upper hand, he was smug. Black Dragon truly wondered how someone like him could live for so long.
Ye Zichen didn't pay much attention to Gu Li's response. He simply smiled calmly.
"Just remember what I said," Ye Zichen said.
"Oh? Emperor Ye, do you have a backup plan? I'm really scared! But now that your arm is crippled, what can you do to me? "
Ye Zichen couldn't be bothered with him. He rolled his eyes, then spread out his spiritual awareness.
"City Lord Luo."
Ye Zichen's transmission rang out in Luo Wei's sea of consciousness as he treated the injured Beast Region elder. He subconsciously glanced in Ye Zichen's direction, only to hear Ye Zichen transmit back.
"Don't look at me."
Upon receiving such a response, Luo Wei's expression turned cold.
"Emperor Ye, what's wrong? I saw you just now … Are you hurt? "
"You don't have to worry about my situation here. I can handle it myself. What's the situation on your side? "transmitted Ye Zichen.
"The situation is not optimistic." Luo Wei frowned as he looked at the injured people around him, as well as the ones who could still fight but had suffered quite a few light injuries. "The Demons and Zombies are too strong. Even though we've made preparations, we've still underestimated them. Moreover, we were only prepared to fight against the devils at that time. Now that there are so many zombies, we're somewhat unprepared. "
Even though Luo Wei's voice transmission hadn't mentioned how severely injured they were, it was clear from his words that they couldn't hold on much longer.
"Withdraw all our men. Later, I will create an opening in the northwest. You will break out from there."
"Alright."
Luo Wei said no more. He was keenly aware of how dire the situation was and how precious time was. Since Emperor Ye had chosen to have them retreat, there was no need for him to know the reason. All he had to do was do as he was told.
"Emperor Ye, you've explained everything clearly, right?"
At that moment, the talkative Gu Li spoke up once more. "Let me think. Where will you have them retreat from? The Valley of Death is to the east. Going there will only lead to certain death. The south is my main base of operations. If we go there, we'll just have to go back. The demons are to the west. It's unlikely that they'll retreat directly to the north. The northwest, then! "
He'd actually seen through them!
Although Ye Zichen's heart was filled with astonishment, his expression didn't change in the slightest.
He just smiled faintly, spread his hands, and chuckled.
"Who knows?"
However, the moment he finished speaking, tens of thousands of sword lights suddenly appeared behind him and shot out in the northwest direction.
"Now!"
Luo Wei had been waiting for Ye Zichen's signal. When he saw the tens of thousands of illusory swords, he roared at his soldiers.
"Now is the time! Retreat!"
The soldiers of the Beast Region and the Immortal Region fled northwest. The demon elites tried to stop them, but Ye Zichen's tens of thousands of swords killed them all.
There were no obstacles along the way, but it was only temporary …..
Ye Zichen had said that he could only open a small opening. Before long, the demons would fill in the gap. Whether or not Luo Wei and the others could break through would depend on themselves.
"You hit the nail on the head."
Just as Ye Zichen's sword descended, Gu Li's lips curved into a smile.
"Hmph, so what if I hit the nail on the head?"
Ye Zichen laughed coldly, then unleashed his majestic aura. His eyes locked onto Gu Li and Black Dragon.
"With me here, don't even think of leaving. Especially Your Excellency, Black Dragon. I killed so many of your demons, so don't blame me. "
To his surprise …..
Ye Zichen thought Black Dragon would glare at him in fury, but to his surprise, his expression didn't change in the slightest. When he looked at Gu Li, he smiled playfully and crossed his arms, looking completely unafraid.
Ye Zichen looked northwest.
No one was guarding it.
After his swords slaughtered the demons, no one had gone to guard that area.
Did they want to let Luo Wei and the others leave?
Absolutely not!
Something was definitely wrong. That place …..
It was a trap!
"Emperor Ye, oh Emperor Ye, I really don't know what you're thinking. I already pointed it out to you. You're going to break through to the northwest. Since I figured that out, did you really think I wouldn't set up a trap there? "
At that moment, Gu Li sighed and shook his head.
"Thank you. You told them to run northwest and caught them all in one fell swoop. I just don't know how much they'll hate you. You're the one who pushed them into the bottomless abyss! "
"What?"
Ye Zichen's expression shook. He looked to the northwest, where no one was guarding. Suddenly, a horde of twisted zombies appeared. Standing in front of them were the four Zombie Progenitors, as well as the two Zhao brothers, who held command medallions.
