In the vast starry sky, the master and disciple spoke softly.
A figure landed on the platform of the dragon carriage. It was Yu Luocha.
Yu Luocha didn't have the compassionate attitude of Mirror Flower Buddha. She was always cold and elegant. She pointed at Pu Lan and said, "I need to ask your disciple about something. I need to borrow him."
Mirror Flower Buddha didn't refuse. She looked back at Pu Lan as if she was waiting for Pu Lan's reaction.
Pu Lan put her palms together and walked forward. But when she saw Yu Luocha flying away, she had to follow.
Mirror Flower Buddha waited quietly, waiting for her disciple to come back and ask her about the situation. But before the disciple came back, she looked at the starry sky in front of her and saw a large group of people rushing towards them.
The two dragon carriages were immediately surrounded by a large group of guards. The vanguard quickly got ready to meet the enemy.
Qing and Fo quickly got out of the dragon carriages and looked from the platform. They roughly saw that the enemy had one billion people and recognized that the commander of the enemy was Yan Xiao.
Seeing that there were no other people around, Lord Buddha said, "There's no need to hide when facing us head-on. These few people are just trying to delay us. It seems like Niu Youde is determined to kill Lord Guang!"
Qing Zhu ordered, "Kill!"
The vanguard of both sides started fighting. Light flowed like rain as they shot at each other.
Suddenly, there was a commotion on Qing and Fo's side. Someone shouted, "They ran away!"
Qing and Fo also realized that there was something wrong with the number of people on their side. They followed the direction of the noisy crowd and found some clues. Not all of their people were deployed. There were dozens of guards who didn't deploy their people. Instead, they took advantage of the chaos to escape into the starry sky. They didn't know what was going on. When they realized that it was a defection, it immediately caused a commotion.
Not only the guards, but the situation on the side of the Buddha Realm was even worse. A group of Buddhist disciples didn't release their people. Instead, they took advantage of the chaos to escape. The key was that one of them had a very high rank.
Buddha Lord, who was always calm, twitched his mouth. His dharma eyes stared at the back of a figure in the crowd. Yu Luocha? His subordinate, Jade Face Buddha?
He couldn't believe his eyes. Even Buddha Lord's eyes were burning with anger. He said arrogantly, "Bitch!"
Yu Luocha had indeed run away. Not only had she run away, she had even brought a group of disciples with her. In her hands was a person who had an anxious expression on his face but was unable to move, Pu Lan!
Yu Luocha was also a little baffled. It was Miao Yi who had suddenly contacted her and asked her to think of a way to bring Pu Lan along with her when she escaped. At the very least, she had to think of a way to send Pu Lan away so that he wouldn't be drawn into this battle.
What Yu Luocha meant was that if it was not important, then forget it. This was not a good time to complicate matters, as it was easy for accidents to occur.
In other words, he wanted to ask Miao Yi what kind of relationship he had with Pu Lan, and whether it was worth it to take the risk at a time like this.
However, it was as if Miao Yi had taken the wrong medicine. He was extremely stubborn. He didn't explain himself and only said that he wanted to save her. His words even seemed to contain a hint of anger.
Later on, he seemed to realize that this matter was putting Yu Luocha in danger, so he replied to her, saying that he had saved Pu Lan in the past, so there was no need to kill her now and leave himself with regrets. He asked Yu Luocha to act according to the situation, and if there was really a risk, then forget it.
During their conversation, Yu Luocha could sense that Miao Yi was acting a little strange. Was he risking his life to save someone he wasn't even close to just so he wouldn't have any regrets? What kind of joke was this? What kind of situation was this? There was no room for accidents. One accident would cause many, many people to die. She really wanted to ask Miao Yi how many of the people who had already died or were about to die in this battle were people he knew, and whether or not he would save them all.
However, she didn't argue with Miao Yi, and only said that she would give it a try. In the end, it went quite smoothly, and she took Pu Lan away with her.
Yu Luocha turned around to look behind her. Not only did her own disciples run away, but there were also many Buddhist disciples she was familiar with, and some she wasn't too familiar with, running in this direction as well. At first, she thought that she had exposed herself and was being hunted down, but when she realized that something was wrong, they also ran away.
This made her secretly shocked. Niu Youde had actually infiltrated the Buddhist sects so deeply? These people who were running away were not nameless people. Just based on the fact that she knew them, it was obvious.
She had taken about two hundred million subordinates with her, and she didn't know how many people these people had taken with them.
The Green Buddha and the Green Buddha both had ruthless expressions on their faces. They could only watch helplessly as they ran away, but they didn't give chase. It wasn't that they didn't want to give chase, but that they couldn't wait to crush these traitors who ran away and turned them into ashes. It was just that they didn't dare to give chase. The vanguard army was already engaged in a fierce battle, and they didn't dare to split their forces to give chase to the two sides. First, they were worried that they would scatter their main force, and second, they were worried that they would fall into Niu Youde's trap. Although they hadn't directly clashed with Niu Youde in this series of battles, Niu Youde's tactics and battle achievements in deploying troops along the way were enough to make them feel apprehensive.
The violent sounds of battle shook the starry sky.
Marshal Mao Xiao, who was overseeing the command of the central army, had a tense expression on his face. He really didn't think that he would be the one to face the Green Buddha head-on.
The pressure on him was greater than anyone else's. Miao Yi had already told him very clearly that he was to lead an army of one billion to stall the Green Buddha's 2.5 billion troops.
When he first received the order, he thought Miao Yi was joking. Using one billion troops to stall the Green Buddha's 2.5 billion elite army? Not to mention 2.5 billion, even defeating the Green Lord's 500 million personal guards was a problem! Of course, Miao Yi didn't let him win. He only wanted him to do his best to stall for time for the Blue Moon army to take down the Duke of Guang Ling's troops.
In the beginning, he almost thought that Miao Yi wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate him. After all, he was Hao Defang's former subordinate. But after thinking about it for a while, he understood. It was precisely because Miao Yi trusted him that he gave him such a difficult task. This battle of his could possibly determine the outcome of the entire war. It was practically a gamble using him. How could Miao Yi use such a huge matter to purge him?
After understanding this, he broke out in cold sweat for Miao Yi, not for himself, but for Miao Yi. How daring!
If he could achieve the strategic goal set by Miao Yi in this battle, it would be a huge contribution. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to even be bestowed the title of King!
Although Hao Defang's shadow was still in his heart, after all, so many years had passed. He had already walked his own path, and he didn't want to disappoint Miao Yi's trust. But the possibility of completing the task before him wasn't high. He might even lose his life here.
Even though Miao Yi said he had a backup plan and would provide him with all kinds of powerful support, what kind of person was the Green Buddha? In terms of individual bravery, he was someone who could take the head of a general in an army of ten thousand. As the commander, he was very dangerous.
His Majesty seemed to have considered this point, and had sent two top-notch experts to protect him.
Yan Xiao tilted his head to look at the two women with extraordinary auras standing beside Charcoal. He knew Charcoal. He knew that Heavenly Empress Yun Zhiqiu took great care of him. As for these two women, he really didn't know who they were. He didn't know where they came from, and he had never seen them before. How could they stop the Green Buddha and the Green Buddha?
However, he could clearly see that Charcoal was trying to curry favor with these two women.
As for the other support that His Majesty had mentioned, he still didn't know what it was.
"Marshal, it seems like there's some trouble among the enemy's ranks!" A deputy suddenly pointed to the enemy's camp and said.
Yan Xiao looked over, and sure enough, he saw someone fleeing at the last moment. He quickly said, "Estimate the enemy's forces." He had to focus his attention on the changes in the battle.
Immediately, several people focused on surveying the situation. After confirming the results, they reported, "Marshal, it seems like the enemy only has two billion troops."
Yan Xiao's heart skipped a beat. It seemed like they had lost four to five hundred million troops. Could this be one of the benefits that His Majesty had mentioned?
Thinking about it, it made sense. Under such circumstances, there wouldn't be an accident for no reason. Such a huge accident must have been instigated by someone behind the scenes, and the instigator was definitely an enemy force. In that case, it must have something to do with His Majesty.
Losing so many troops was admittedly a way to reduce the pressure, but compared to the enemy's numbers and combat strength, the reduction in pressure wasn't very effective.
Standing side by side on the dragon carriage, the Green Buddha and the Green Buddha also received the exact number of troops lost. More than a hundred million of the imperial guards had been taken away in confusion, and the Buddhist Lord's side was even worse off. More than a hundred million troops had been taken away, while Yu Luocha had taken away more than two hundred million troops.
In total, this was equivalent to a reduction of close to 500 million troops.
And the consequences of Yu Luocha's betrayal weren't just that. Whether or not the 1.5 billion monk soldiers that had been gathering in the Celestial Court had been delayed, at the very least, Yu Luocha's subordinates couldn't be counted on anymore. Another two hundred million troops had been lost. This wasn't just a loss. If they were to replenish their forces on the enemy's side, it wouldn't be a good thing.
"House Xiahou!" Lord Qing uttered coldly. He didn't need to guess to know that this matter had something to do with House Xiahou.
Watching the battle, the Buddhist Lord said in a low voice, "They must be delaying. Niu Youde's main target is Lord Guang. We can't let this drag on any longer!"
Lord Qing said in a low voice, "Don't get entangled. Attack with the dragons and phoenixes, and charge over in one fell swoop!"
As the order was given, the thousands of dragons and phoenixes in the army roared in unison. Their murderous cries reverberated in the air, and the dragons and phoenixes that were circling around began to interweave and gather. The charging formation quickly took shape!
A large number of imperial guards and monk soldiers began to line up, ready to follow the dragons and phoenixes and charge under their cover.
Yan Xiao, who was overseeing the army in the center, immediately became extremely nervous. The dragons had tough armor and thick skin, and their innate defense was no small matter. If they were to charge as a group, the magic-breaking bows might not be able to stop them.
Just then, the bodies of Charcoal and the two Empyrean Maidens glowed in unison, and they charged up together, instantly transforming into a black dragon and two colorful phoenixes. They were two extremely dazzling phoenixes, far more dazzling than the phoenixes in the enemy's camp.
The ferocious Charcoal roared at the sky, and the two phoenixes circled around each other, letting out sonorous cries that resonated far into the distance.
Lord Qing, Lord Fo, and the others quickly focused on the battle. They didn't know where the dragons and phoenixes on Miao Yi's side had come from, but it seemed that the dragons and phoenixes on Miao Yi's side were slightly different from normal dragons and phoenixes. For example, the two phoenixes' colors were even more dazzling, and they had never seen them before.
As soon as the dragons and phoenixes on Miao Yi's side appeared, the dragons and phoenixes that were gathering on Miao Yi's side suddenly changed their formation, as though they were echoing the roars and cries of the dragons and phoenixes on Miao Yi's side.
'Bang!' The giant dragon that was dragging the dragon palanquin suddenly lashed out with its tail, shattering the two dragon palanquins.
