Retreat to Yanxiang Pass
Rumble!
The hundred-meter-tall ancient city wall collapsed with a loud bang. Amidst the chaotic rubble, more than three million elite soldiers filed in. Their surging killing intent crushed the signboard of the city into pieces.
"How can they be so fast?" Wu Jing Xue's expression was stunned. His eyes stared at the figures of the elite soldiers who were constantly charging into Yanxiang City, unable to recover for a moment.
In his eyes, these elite soldiers were carrying thick shields and wearing heavy armor. Their defensive power was unparalleled, and they could easily block ten. 3.6 million people raising their shields at the same time could even block Lin Tianchong's destructive blow.
Under such circumstances, their charging speed would definitely be limited. Wu Jing Xue was prepared to take advantage of this opportunity to rely on the charging power of the three thousand Jingtian Army to kill the thirty thousand elite soldiers one by one, thus curbing the rapid momentum of the enemy.
Unexpectedly, not only did the charging speed of the enemy far exceed his expectations, but their momentum was also incomparably powerful. With a single charge, they easily shattered the walls of Yanxiang City and killed their way into the city without any hindrance.
"Ah!"
Just as Wu Jing Xue was thinking, suddenly, an incomparably mournful wail rang out, interrupting his thoughts. Then, one after another, mournful wails rang out, wantonly echoing in the sky above Yanxiang City.
Wu Jing Xue looked in the direction of the sound. In his field of vision, he saw countless elite soldiers galloping into Yanxiang City. Facing the people of Yanxiang City, they did not hesitate to raise the blood-stained sabers in their hands, either charging or slashing. Their momentum was so fierce that it was like a gust of wind blowing past.
When they left, the houses were shattered, the tall buildings collapsed, and the ground became innumerable ravines. In addition to the rubble and gravel, corpses that were still warm were lying on the ground. A pungent scarlet smell filled the air, as if this place had become a killing hell. Everywhere was filled with blood.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, several youths rushed out from a house. Their faces were filled with panic and fear as they fled madly. Behind them was a fierce elite soldier. The Spiritual Energy on his body was ferocious like a beast. With a step, he arrived in front of them.
Before those young men could cry out involuntarily, a dazzling blade glow flashed by. Immediately, a few heads that were covered in fresh blood flew into the sky and landed on the shattered ruins. Fresh blood flowed like a blooming blood colored demonic flower, and it represented the loss of numerous lives.
On the other hand, the corpses of a few tens of city guards were piled up in a pile of ruins not too far away from here. Behind the corpses was an empty space where a few elite soldiers stood. They held iron chains in their hands while a wisp of lustful and evil smiles appeared on their faces.
On the other end of the iron chain, women were tied up one after another. Their limbs were tightly bound, and they could not move at all. Their absent-minded faces were filled with despair.
Such a scene occurred all over Soaring Yancheng City.
These elite soldiers killed their way into Soaring Yancheng City. In just a short while, the huge city was in complete chaos. As long as an elite soldier flashed past, there would be bursts of sounds. Some were wails, some were roars, and some were even endless shouts of fear.
These sounds overlapped with each other like a symphony of death that was deeply imprinted in the deepest part of the hearts of the people. All of this was just the beginning!
Wu Jing Xue's expression became increasingly ugly. He looked at more and more elite soldiers rushing into Soaring Yancheng City and his heart sank. He looked back and saw Lin Yuanli, Gu Xuanfeng, and a group of Yin Yang experts standing in the void in the distance. A faint smile appeared on their faces as if they were mocking his words and actions.
At this moment, Mowang Gong's voice slowly sounded. At this moment, he was very calm and there was no fluctuation in his voice. "The enemy has already broken through the city walls. All of the fortifications are useless. Soaring Yancheng City can no longer be protected. We must immediately retreat."
"How can we retreat in the current situation?" Lin Tianchong gritted his teeth and said. The soldiers guarding the city were in a bitter battle. Soaring Yancheng City was already in chaos. It was too difficult to safely retreat from this place. It would take a long time.
Wu Jing Xue nodded and agreed with Lin Tianchong's words. However, Lin Tianchong said firmly, "The three of us will lead the Jingtian Army to retreat from Soaring Yancheng City and defend Soaring Yancheng Pass. As for the soldiers and the people guarding the city, we will abandon them."
Thump!
Lin Tianchong and Wu Jing Xue's hearts trembled. Lin Tianchong wanted to abandon the soldiers and the people guarding the city?
"The preparations made by the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Wind Palace are far beyond our expectations. At this moment, if we don't immediately retreat to defend Soaring Yancheng Pass, we will definitely be trapped. At that time, Soaring Yancheng Pass will be breached and the enemy will invade the 36 states. More people will die unnatural deaths and live in pain for the rest of their lives."
Mowang Gong's eyes shone with a deep light. He was familiar with the classics and had personally experienced the pain of the destruction of a sect. How could he not know that the current situation was dangerous and perilous?
Abandoning the soldiers and the people guarding the city was ruthless, but they had no choice.
The murderous intent of the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Wind Palace was too strong. They did not hesitate to spill blood and litter the land with corpses to invade and enslave the 36 states.
"Damn it!"
Wu Jing Xue clenched his fists and let his fingertips pierce into his palms. His eyes were burning with anger and strong unwillingness. Beside him, Lin Tianchong's expression was full of helplessness. He slowly looked away and could not bear to see the bloody scene in Soaring Yancheng City.
Whoosh!
After pondering for a moment, Wu Jing Xue opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of turbid air. Shortly after, he suddenly opened his eyes. A cold light flashed in his scarlet eyes as he said with great difficulty, "Jingtian Army, heed my order. Abandon Soaring Yancheng City and retreat to Soaring Yancheng Pass at full speed!"
While Wu Jing Xue was helplessly making this decision, the atmosphere in the Driftcloud Imperial City thousands of miles away was also extremely tense.
In the hall, Chu Xingyun, Su Hanfeng, Ye Ming, Tang Yue, and the others frowned. They did not say a word and sank into silence.
Tiger Chu stood in the middle of the hall. After taking the pill, he had already recovered, but his expression was still ugly. He said in a low voice, "According to our investigation of the 3.6 million elite soldiers, we can confirm that every single one of them has reached the Earth Spirit level. Their weapons are all Magic Treasures, and they are all of high quality."
"The enemy is so tyrannical. Just relying on the 100,000 soldiers defending the city is almost impossible. Even if the Star Protectors and the Imperial Army attack at the same time, the difference is still like a moat!"
Tiger Chu was very clear about the strength of the Star Protectors and the Imperial Army.
The Star Protectors and the Imperial Army were the elite troops of the Ancient Star Sect and the Wanjian Pavilion. Their cultivations had all reached the level of Earth Spirit. The weapons they carried were also at the level of Ritual Artifacts.
If the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Firmament Palace had sent out 360,000 elite soldiers, then it was still unknown who would win if the Star Protectors and the Imperial Army attacked at the same time.
However, the number of elite soldiers was not 360,000, but 3.6 million!
In addition, the Divine Firmament Palace and the Daluo Golden Sect had also sent out countless experts. In terms of high-end combat power, they were far superior to the Wanjian Pavilion. It could even be said that they were crushing the enemy.
The difference in these two points was too great. Any one of them could easily dominate the battle. Tiger Chu could not see a trace of hope at all.
Su Hanfeng, Ye Ming, and the others lowered their heads. Their expressions froze in an instant, while Chu Xingyun's face was gloomy. His eyes flickered with a bright light, and his aura was so strange that no one dared to approach him.
"The enemy has already launched a large-scale attack. This battle is unavoidable!"
At this moment, the light in Chu Xingyun's eyes disappeared. He turned his head to look at Su Hanfeng and Ye Ming. "The two of you, immediately send out a military order. Gather 180,000 Star Protectors and 180,000 Imperial Army soldiers. Within 15 minutes, line up at the foot of the Qitian Peak and head to Yanxiang Pass to support Wu Jing Xue and Senior Lin."
"Hmm?"
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, everyone was stunned. In this situation, directly dispatching the Star Protectors and the Imperial Army to Yanxiang Pass would not be able to turn the tide. It would only increase the number of casualties.
Chu Xingyun sensed everyone's gazes. He shifted his gaze and looked at the sky shrouded in dark clouds. He murmured, "Don't worry. I won't let you and the three hundred and sixty thousand soldiers die in vain. I won't let the three million and six hundred thousand soldiers break through Yanxiang Pass and slaughter the people of the thirty-six provinces."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xingyun's body suddenly erupted with a sharp aura.
His figure swept into the sky. With a long roar, the void cracked. The Great Void Spirit Devouring Python, which was surrounded by a purplish black light, swept out and carried him on its body. As it leaped, the space shattered even more. In an instant, a mysterious spatial passage appeared.
Whoosh!
