Very soon, the Mutants led by Desir and the Soaring Cloud Sect martial artists dispersed. Both sides stopped attacking and a standoff appeared.
"Sect leader, should we ask for reinforcements?" Feng Xuanyi asked.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are the Soaring Cloud Sect, the number one sect in the martial arts world. How could you say something like that?! "Before Ma Xuantong could speak, Ye Tianshun scolded him.
As the Great Elder of the Soaring Cloud Sect, although Ye Tianshun was called away by Feng Tianqi for a period of time because of Jiang Fei's actions in the Soaring Cloud Sect, he naturally participated in the fight against the Mutants.
"But there are too many of them!" Chen Xuanming also felt that it was safer to ask for reinforcements.
"Shut up! The Soaring Cloud Sect's reputation is not as good as before because of you spineless people! Although there are many Mutants on the other side, they are just a bunch of unruly people. What is there to be afraid of? "Ye Tianshun scolded.
"You …" Chen Xuanming and Feng Xuanyi were both enraged. Ye Tianshun's words were easy to say. Just now, it wasn't you who charged into the enemy's ranks. The two of us risked our lives to give the sect a chance to breathe. Yet, you old bastard refused to ask for reinforcements for the sake of your face!
If martial artists were born with a sense of arrogance in their hearts, it was even more so for the people from the big sects. Ye Tianshun carried this arrogance to the extreme. Not only did he look down on ordinary people, but he also looked down on the other sects in the Martial Art Alliance. In his eyes, only the Soaring Cloud Sect was the orthodox martial arts. It was impossible for him to ask for help from other sects!
"Let's see how the situation goes. Let's put the matter of asking for reinforcements aside for now …" Ma Xuantong said after thinking for a while.
Others might not know, but as the Soaring Cloud Sect's Sect Leader, Ma Xuantong knew that Ye Tianshun had been accepted as Feng Tianqi's disciple while he was in confinement. With a Level 5 expert as his backing, Ye Tianshun naturally had more authority. Even Ma Xuantong, the Sect Leader, had to be courteous to him!
"Sigh!" Chen Xuanming gnashed his teeth in hatred. This wasn't the first time that Ye Tianshun, that b * stard, had caused trouble for the Soaring Cloud Sect. If he hadn't provoked Jiang Fei last time, the Soaring Cloud Sect wouldn't have been attacked. How could he let the Soaring Cloud Sect's reputation go down the drain?
Now, this old b * stard had come to make trouble again. He was practically forcing the Soaring Cloud Sect onto the path of destruction!
"Sigh! Serves the Lingyun Sect right for this calamity! "Feng Xuanyi closed his eyes and sighed to himself.
"Humph! If it weren't for the fact that the two of you contributed to the battle, I would have punished the two of you right now! " When Ye Tianshun saw that Chen Xuanming and Feng Xuanyi actually dared to talk back to him, he was enraged. However, he also knew that they were currently facing a formidable enemy. If they were to cause internal strife, they would become a laughing stock. Thus, he only kept this in his heart and decided to deal with Chen Xuanming and Feng Xuanyi after returning to China.
"Lord Desir, why did you order to stop the attack?" At the same time, a High-Tier Mutant asked Desir in confusion.
"There's no need for us to fight them to the death. The game has just begun. There's no need for us to do such a thing!" Desir laughed.
The reason he made this decision was the same as the reason he had previously let the Snow Mountain Sect go. If they continued to attack, it would definitely not be a problem to destroy the Soaring Cloud Sect's main force. However, the key was that while destroying the Soaring Cloud Sect's main force, the Mutants would definitely suffer heavy losses. In Desir's opinion, this was completely unnecessary.
Now, they only needed to find opportunities to attack the martial artists. If they could, they would eat them. There was no need to bite them when they encountered a tough opponent. After the fleet's firepower suppressed the martial artists, these martial artists would definitely be exhausted. When they were almost exhausted, the Mutants would naturally be able to harvest as much as they wanted. Why should they attack now and let themselves suffer unnecessary losses for nothing?
"Then, what do you think we should do, Lord?" A Mutant asked.
"Let's go back first! Find a place to rest! "Desir smiled slightly.
"Yes, Lord!" The Mutant leaders behind Desir responded one after another. They then began to organize their subordinates to retreat from the battlefield.
Soon, a large number of Mutants withdrew one after another, leaving the Soaring Cloud Sect's people behind.
"What do you think? I told you that these Mutants are just a bunch of unruly people, right? They didn't even wait for us to take the initiative to attack, and they already retreated on their own! " Seeing that the Mutants had left, Ye Tianshun became even more proud. It was as if those Mutants had fled because they were afraid of him.
"Sigh …" Chen Xuanming and Feng Xuanyi looked at each other, both of them silent.
"Alright! This is not a good place to stay for long. Let's go! "Ma Xuantong waved his hand and led the Soaring Cloud Sect's people away from the battlefield.
This confrontation was actually quite short. In the beginning, because Soaring Cloud Sect was ambushed, many Level 3 disciples were killed or injured. There were more than a dozen of them. However, later on, Chen Xuanming and Feng Xuanyi led the two Seven Star Sword Formations into the Mutants' formation and killed more than fifty Level 2 and Level 3 Mutants. They even killed five Level 4 Mutants, one of which was an advanced Level 4 Mutant!
Although this short battle started with Soaring Cloud Sect being ambushed, in the end, Soaring Cloud Sect actually gained a small advantage. However, this small advantage was basically negligible for thousands of Mutants!
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened. The Mutants on Jiang Fei's side were still waiting. They had no intention of attacking. On the other side, Bai Wanli and the others' reinforcements had finally arrived at the battlefield.
"Kill!" When Bai Wanli arrived at the battlefield, he did not waste any time. He directly waved his hand and the martial artists behind him immediately roared and attacked.
"Brother Bai, you are finally here …" At this time, Ganyang Zhenren was covered in blood. His robe was soaked in blood.
Ganyang Zhenren was not the only one. The other martial artists were all in the same state. All of them were in a killing frenzy. There was no way to kill all the mutants in the mountains. Ever since the collapse of the Heavenly Cycle Sword Formation, they had fallen into a chaotic battle.
At this point, these martial artists were actually already exhausted. It was not just the Level 3 martial artists. Even the Level 4 martial artists were a little weak at this time.
After a day of fierce battle, there was only one reason why the martial artists could survive — reinforcements were coming soon! If it were not for this belief that supported them, they would have all fallen at this time!
In fact, not only were the martial artists exhausted, even the Mutants were not particularly good now. After a day of chaotic battle, the Mutants had also exhausted their energy. They were completely relying on their last breath to survive. Although they had more people than the martial artists, they were not strong individually. So, it was quite tiring for them to fight.
If Desir was here to command, he would have already ordered the troops to retreat. However, the commander here was Walker, who had a national grudge against the Chinese martial artists. So, under his pressure, these Mutants all fought desperately. When Bai Wanli and the others arrived, these Mutants had little combat power left!
