"We've finally gotten rid of these damned wolf riders. Where have we escaped to now? " Cheng Santong and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they no longer heard those heart-palpitating wolf howls. Even though they weren't injured, they couldn't help but feel their hearts palpitate when they heard those wolf howls. Even though Lu Xiaotian had used the strength of his primordial spirit to evade most of the wolf riders, it was still unrealistic for him to charge out of the wave of wolf riders' pursuit and avoid all conflict.
Along the way, they'd fought dozens of battles, big and small. With Lu Xiaotian and the lotus clone as the core, they'd killed quite a few true immortals and immortal-level wolf riders.
The lotus clone's understanding and application of sword intent was even more profound. Zhu Yan, Cheng Santong, Xiao Yu, Xiao Dingming, Lü Yiming, Zhao Qian, Wang Kun, and the other true immortals had also killed quite a few enemies. After experiencing such a great battle, the group of true immortals had undergone a great change. In the past, whenever Lu Xiaotian had encountered Zhu Yan, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Dingming, they'd all been filled with arrogance. Even those who were on good terms with Lu Xiaotian didn't reveal anything at first. However, when faced with these true immortals from ordinary immortal Sects or loose immortals, they'd all feel a sense of superiority that came from their very bones.
The Howling Moon Wolf Riders had a similar sense of superiority. However, the Howling Moon Wolf Riders' sense of superiority had been forged through the baptism of battle, through killing countless enemies with a blade and a spear. As for Xiao Yu, Xiao Dingming, and the other true immortals of the Immortal Region, although they had a considerable psychological advantage over ordinary immortal Sects or loose immortals, they still felt great fear when facing the wolf riders.
However, the Howling Moon Wolf Riders' sense of superiority was targeted at all races. When faced with the elites of any race, they dared to charge at them in a spurt of energy. They had the courage to compete with their opponents in battle formations, and they had the courage to be fearless.
This was fundamentally different from the attitude of ordinary immortal soldiers who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
At this time, Zhu Yan, Cheng Santong, Xiao Yu, and the others had been defeated time and time again by the wolf riders. Their morale had been suppressed. By then, they had gained quite a number of victories. Every one of them had killed off a good number of wolf riders. In fact, they had even killed one or two True Immortal stage wolf riders. His original fear of the wolf riders had dissipated.
For Zhu Yan and the others, this kind of psychological breakthrough was like breaking their own shackles. For example, Zhu Yan, Cheng Santong, Xiao Yu and the others, their strength had already increased by a level on the way. And this time, after returning safely, the benefits they obtained would be long-term. Even though their strength was still not as strong as the Lotus Avatar and Zhen Shuo's group, their mental states were already very tough. This state of mind had to be honed through constant victories and battles. There weren't many shortcuts.
Although Lu Xiaotian and the Lotus Avatar had been of great help in the process of killing the wolf riders, in the end, they had completed a sure-kill attack. Moreover, after fighting side by side with Lu Xiaotian and the Lotus Avatar, Zhu Yan, Cheng Santong, and the others had broadened their horizons considerably. They seemed to have touched upon a trace of an indescribable meaning in their hearts. They couldn't put their finger on the specifics. They just felt that in the process of controlling their immortal artifacts, they had inexplicably become more agile. They seemed to be even more proficient.
"That's right. Our group of nine actually escaped without losing a single one. Moreover, our strength has more or less increased. Among the immortal soldiers, we're probably the only ones. But this time, we've really offended the wolf riders. If we appear on the battlefield again and are recognized by them, the consequences will be unthinkable. "
Xiao Dingming's eyes were filled with worry. This time, he'd obtained quite a lot of benefits from his escape. After escaping from the flesh and blood mill of the Illusory Fog Swamp with great difficulty, Xiao Dingming reckoned that after returning to seclusion and meditating for a period of time, his strength would increase considerably. This time, they'd fought dozens of battles, big and small, and killed a great number of wolf riders.
However, their goal was to break out of the encirclement, not simply to kill the enemy. With Lu Xiaotian and the Lotus Avatar leading the charge, they'd defeated the main force of the wolf riders, causing them a great number of casualties. However, when the remaining wolf riders saw that the situation wasn't right and scattered, they didn't have enough energy to pursue and kill them. In this way, there were naturally a considerable number of survivors among the wolf riders who knew of their existence.
If they were recognized by the wolf riders again on the battlefield, the consequences that awaited them were self-evident.
At present, they might be fighting smoothly, but this was based on the tyrannical strength of Lu Xiaotian and the Lotus Avatar. When facing a small group of wolf riders, they were indeed able to defeat them in an extremely short period of time, but once they faced a large group of wolf riders, they were still no match for them.
Not to mention they'd killed so many wolf riders, and if a Mysterious Immortal Realm wolfman were to encounter them when they were free, such a situation would simply cause one to shudder with fear.
"Exactly. At that time, once we're recognized by the wolf riders, we'll definitely become a thorn in their side." Zhu Yan nodded with a solemn expression at this moment. Even though Xiao Dingming was rather selfish amongst their group, no one disagreed with what Xiao Dingming said at this moment.
"Isn't that simple? Brother Dongfang is quite skilled at escaping. Wouldn't it be fine if we just follow him?" Cheng Santong chuckled.
"In the current situation, we naturally have to find a place to lie low. All of you can seize this opportunity to cultivate and improve your strength. Once this storm passes, all of you can return to the Immortal Region. In any case, we've killed so many wolf riders. Even if we hide somewhere and come out, in terms of battle merits, there probably aren't many people that can compare to us. At that time, we'll be able to report to our superiors. What do you think? "
Lu Xiaotian said. Originally, he wanted to raise this question to Zhu Yan and the others. If it weren't for Yan Ji's mission, Lu Xiaotian wouldn't have returned to the Illusory Fog Swamp for no reason to cause trouble for himself.
Now that Yan Ji's mission had been completed, there was even less reason to return. Xiao Dingming, Zhu Yan and the others' original subordinates had almost all perished in the Illusory Fog Swamp. Now that they'd been beaten to the point of being a commander without an army, they no longer had to worry about their subordinates. The number of casualties in the Immortal Army was just a number to them.
Even though the wolf riders were ferocious, in the end, they were only wolf riders. The scene in front of them, compared to the chaotic battle between two clans or even several clans on the Immortal and Demon Battlefield, was just a small wave in the sea of fury. Even though they'd hurt a few Immortal Realms, no one thought that they'd be able to shake the foundation of the Heavenly Court's rule. Being extinguished was only a matter of time.
"That's naturally for the best. We'll follow Brother Dongfang and hide for a period of time. Once our strength increases, the Immortal Region will need more people. We still have a great opportunity to use them. "Lü Yiming chuckled.
