The Great Wild God - Chapter 500

Chapter 500 Routed Army
(The Spirit Heaven Army’s array had already been destroyed by the demon army, and the disciples of the Eastern Region and other sects outside were even more routed. From the looks of it, Chen Xun, True Monarch Ku An, and Patriarch Xuan Huo all knew that this path of war was over.

Without a stable sect array to rely on, even if they rushed forward, apart from falling into the demon army’s torrent of struggles, it would be useless, and it would be impossible for them to rescue tens of thousands of generals and disciples of the various sects.

And once they were entangled by the experts of the demon race, they would only end up in a miserable state of death.

Seeing this scene, no matter how sturdy Mysterious Fire Ancestor’s dao heart was, he was still covered in cold sweat.

This place was less than 900 kilometers away from Copper City, so it was absolutely unfavorable for the demons to engage in a decisive battle here. However, the reason why the demons chose to ambush the rare soldiers was because they saw that the attack from the right wing was too hesitant, too hesitant, too undetermined, and that there was an opportunity for them to take advantage of it.

The Black Fire Sect did not bear the brunt. It was very likely that the demons had seen through some of the conflicts between the sects in Cloud Continent. It was also possible that they had seen the Black Fire Sect’s will to attack become firm. Otherwise, Patriarch Black Fire would not have dared to imagine how many disciples of the Black Fire Sect would be able to break out of the encirclement.

“What should we do?” Daoist Yang Kun was also panicking.

Once the demon army annihilated the soldiers and horses of the Spirit Heaven Army as quickly as possible, the torrent would swiftly sweep east, crossing two mountains, and they would be the tens of thousands of disciples of the Black Flame Sect and the others on the right wing.

The time left for them to deploy would not exceed two hours.

Whether they entered or retreated, it would cause great chaos. In his heart, Patriarch Xuanhuo hoped that the disciples of Xuanhuo and the other sects would stay where they were and wait for reinforcements from the middle road, the left wing, and Copper City to arrive.

This is the safest way.

Even if the troops of the Spirit Heaven Army were wiped out, as long as they stood guard behind the two steep mountains, the final battle would definitely be dominated by the allied forces of the various sects.

Profound Fire Ancestor thought this in his heart, but he didn’t say it out loud.

How could he say that?

The disciples of the Black Flame Sect and the others stayed where they were. They wanted to completely abandon the Spirit Heaven Army. After Chun Lingjun escaped, they questioned him. What did he say to deal with him?

He believed that this plan was the most appropriate and beneficial to the alliance forces of the various sects and the overall situation. However, there would definitely be people who would accuse the Black Flame Sect of not saving them from death and just stand idly by.

Profound Fire Ancestor’s pupils swept towards Chen Xun, knowing that Chen Xun and Chun Lingjun had the deepest enmity, and he thought to himself that he would definitely not be willing to save the Spirit Heavenly Army one soldier at a time.

Chen Xun stared at the chaotic battlefield in the valley in front of the mountain. Many soldiers in Spirit Heaven Army armor began to retreat towards Jiang Junwen’s boat. Judging from the situation, Jiang Junwen had to bring his direct descendants out of the battlefield first. He should no longer have the courage to stay on the chaotic battlefield and cover the ordinary soldiers as much as possible, right?

Chen Xun thought to himself. Not many of the disciples of the Jiang Clan had the courage to do so.

Chen Xun felt that the Profound Fire Ancestor looked towards him. He turned around and saw that the Profound Fire Ancestor seemed to have expectations. He could understand the Profound Fire Ancestor’s steady intentions, but he did not agree.

Apart from not wanting to bear the notoriety of “not saving the dead”, Chen Xun also had other more important tradeoffs. He said seriously to True Monarch Ku An and Patriarch Black Flame,

“True Monarchs, we must defend this ridge. The Mysterious Fire Sect’s array and reinforcements can quickly gather towards the ridge to the east. Perhaps they can save some people. The two devastating disasters in the Northwest Domain were not because there was no chance of victory, but they were destroyed by indecisiveness and morale collapse!”

Chen Xun couldn’t wait for Jiang Junwen to die. The entire Spirit Heaven Army had been destroyed, but it was clear that Jiang Junwen was ready to flee with his direct descendants. Apart from the twenty thousand Spirit Heaven Army soldiers, there were twenty to thirty thousand disciples from the Eastern and Northeastern Regions who had rushed over to reinforce Zhou Wu.

Even though the sects in these regions did not attach much importance to the demonic tribulation, they had at least sent so many disciples to help. They were now sitting there watching as they were annihilated by the demon army and did not rescue them from the flanks. In the future, there would be a few more incidents in the northern and northwestern regions. Don’t expect one more person from these sects to rush over to reinforce them.

If the forty to fifty thousand soldiers of the Spirit Heaven Army were annihilated, the morale of the other sects would be greatly affected.

Right now, they were guarding this ridge, guarding the passage to the east for the twenty thousand Spirit Heaven Army generals and tens of thousands of disciples of the various sects. No matter how heavy their losses were, they could not blame the Xuandu Sect, Mountain Parasol, and Prince Qing’s Manor for it.

Chen Xun believed that Tao Jinghong would also make such a decision here. He didn’t think too much about it and immediately suggested this to True Monarch Ku An.

Hearing Chen Xun’s words, Mysterious Fire Ancestor’s face burned, and he suddenly woke up from his shock.

The reason why the demons dared to use ambushes on the right wing was because they used the seemingly safe mentality of the right wing to set a trap.

“Alright!” True Monarch Ku An said. He was also worried that Chen Xun would bear grudges against Chun Lingjun. He wanted to sit back and watch the Spirit Heaven Army being devoured by the demons. He didn’t expect that he would be able to see the overall situation better than Patriarch Black Fire. No matter what, the few of them were trying to guard a passage for the Spirit Heaven Rending Army to break out of the encirclement.

True Monarch Ku An’s words represented the will of the Xuandu Sect, and Patriarch Xuanhuo had nothing to say.

Chen Xun took out the Eight Desolate Flag and took root on the ground. A boundless and powerful Xuan Ming baleful aura surged out. Even though it had transformed into an icy plain that covered the peak of the ridge, it had swept away the Yin Fiend Devil Miasma on the left and right.

Chen Xun then planted the twelve Du Tian Jia Devil Flag on the ice plains, forming a twelve-phase Devil God Profound Evolution Formation.

Chen Xun sat cross-legged in the Twelve Phases Demon God Profound Evolution Formation and shook off his bag of holding. Nearly 200 ordinary spirit swords rushed out of his bag of holding like crucian carp crossing a river, forming a sword formation that was as dense as stars that hung on all four sides of his body.

Chen Xun raised his voice and said to True Monarch Ku An, “Please rest assured, both True Monarchs, Mountain Parasol can defend this ridge for two incense sticks of time!”

Chen Xun had only cultivated to the second level of the Lesser Thousand Sword Formation, one level weaker than Ji Lie. However, he didn’t hesitate to use his Primordial Liquid to replenish his Primordial Energy. This was his strongest attack apart from the Twelve Phases Demon God Profound Evolution Formation.

Chen Xun only had one jin of Essence Liquid in his bosom. He could fully control the Little Thousand Sword Formation to last for two incense sticks of time. Essence Liquid was exhausted. He did not have the vast amount of True Essence magic power to support the Little Thousand Sword Formation. His combat strength would be greatly reduced. Once he was swallowed up by the demon flood, they would never have a chance to escape.

Chen Xun promised True Monarch Ku An that he would stay here for two incense sticks of time. After that, no matter how many routed troops hadn’t withdrawn, he would retreat before the situation improved.

If he did what he had to do, he was not afraid that others would still criticize him.

Seeing that Chen Xun was able to use so many magic treasures at the same time as he was using the sword array, Patriarch Black Fire and Adept Yang Kun were quite surprised.

Seeing that Chen Xun still had the Firewing Monster Ape and Black Tea, these two extremely powerful Devil Attendants, he knew that he was confident that he would be able to nail this ridge for two incense sticks of time. True Monarch Ku An shouted again, “Alright!”

True Monarch Ku An opened his mouth and chanted a profound spell. Countless golden talisman images were continuously released from his body and wrapped around his body. Soon, the golden talisman images became denser and denser, forming a bottle of two hundred zhang tall golden-armored war god with a halberd that stood between heaven and earth, wrapping around True Monarch Ku An’s true body.

This was the first time Chen Xun had seen True Monarch Ku An use his strongest Dao Art divine ability. He hadn’t expected that he would be able to directly transform into a golden-armored Battle God to defend against his enemies.

Although the sixty-meter-long golden-armored war god was made up of countless talisman seals, the aura it emitted was definitely not inferior to that of the giant flood dragon.

“Brother Xuanhuo, shall we go down together?” The Golden Body Battle God wrapped around True Monarch Ku An looked at Patriarch Xuan Huo and asked in a muffled voice.

“Alright!” Patriarch Black Fire slapped 36 Poison Flame Divine Lamps out of his bag of holding and flew towards the foot of the mountain with True Monarch Ku An.

Even if the Demon Dragon Qian Yu Bone invaded the Cloud Continent, they could still last for a period of time. They were afraid that there would be no reinforcements behind them. Once they fell into the demon army’s torrent, they would be trapped by the demon race experts and unable to break out of the encirclement. In the end, they would not be able to escape the tragic end of their deaths.

Tens of thousands of disciples from the Black Flame Sect gathered at the east ridge as fast as they could. Chen Xun was nailed to this ridge again, and Mountain Parasol Ji Lie, Chang Xi, Dragon Gate Sect Tao Jing Hong, and the others could gather here as quickly as possible. If they dared to charge directly into the demon army from the flanks, they might be able to tear a hole and help more routed troops break out from this direction.

“This Sage will also go kill a few magical creatures to sacrifice their teeth!” The Fire-Winged Demonic Ape said in an urn.

In the past few days, it had been able to kill, especially when fighting side by side with experts like Ji Lie and Tao Jinghong. As its mind surged, it was actually able to comprehend some of the mysteries it had previously cultivated.

Without Chen Xun’s urging, it didn’t want to miss the opportunity to fight alongside the two Empyrean True Monarchs.

True Monarch Ku An also felt that it was strange for Mountain Parasol to protect the mountain and serve the demons after seeing the Fire-Winged Demon Ape carrying the Scarlet Flint Stone Staff and rushing over. Although the Fire-Winged Demon Ape had many shortcomings, he and Profound Fire Ancestor were able to cooperate well. The Fire-Winged Demon Ape’s combat strength was not much weaker than theirs.

Black Tea’s strength was still slightly weaker. If she was careless, she would be swallowed up by the demon army, so Chen Xun didn’t let her go down.

Daoist Yang Kun also took out a set of array flags and laid them down along the mountain. Then, he took out a huge sword sheath from his bag of holding. He opened the sword sheath and seven Heavenly Artifact Spirit Swords shot down into the sky. He stood behind him and calmly looked at the small demonic creatures that had surrounded him from both wings.

************************

True Monarch Ku An, Patriarch Xuan Huo ignored the small demonic creatures that had been surrounded by two wings and didn’t directly pounce towards the core of the chaotic battlefield. Instead, he and the Fire-Winged Demonic Ape directly pounced towards the foot of the mountain, like three bottles of Heavenly Demon Battle Gods, directly cutting into the east-wing torrent of the demon army …

After the formation was destroyed by the demon army, the Spirit Heaven Army soldiers, Eastern Region disciples, and other Earth Sect disciples had already fallen into despair. Origin Core realm and Dharma Aspect realm experts were not directly targeted by the demon race’s Heavenly Yao level demon generals. Perhaps there was still a chance of escaping from the Heavens. If a disciple with a cultivation below the Heavenly Yuan realm wanted to survive, it depended solely on luck.

They knew that the formation had been crushed by the demon army in such a short period of time. They did not expect his disciples to risk being dragged into the water and rush over to reinforce them.

Break through, where do you want to break through?

True Monarch Ku An transformed into a golden-armored Battle God. It was like a bottle of golden-flaming Heavenly Demon Battle God appearing between heaven and earth. In an instant, a light lit up in the hearts of the disciples of the various sects as they surrounded and crushed the Spirit Heaven Army generals.

The Xuandu Cult and the allied forces of the various sects did not give up on them. They should concentrate their efforts to break through the siege to the east!

Countless people shouted in their hearts!

The Spring Mausoleum Lord was not an idiot after all. Seeing that True Monarch Ku An and Patriarch Black Flame were resolutely helping him under such circumstances, he did not hesitate to direct the boat to break out of the encirclement eastward.

“Crash!” A dragon-toothed boat beside him was torn in half by the flood dragon demon.

The Dragon Fang Ark’s defensive spirit shield was so fragile in front of the Dragon Demon that it was as fragile as paper.

Apart from the two Origin Core warriors who barely managed to fly out of the sky and converge towards the Spring Mausoleum Lord’s boat, the other generals were all knocked down by the intense impact.

At this moment, the giant wings of the flood dragon demon were stretched out, like a piece of scaled skin peeling off its body, turning into a black mist that covered the Spirit Heaven Army soldiers who were shaking down in mid-air. They watched helplessly as nearly two hundred soldiers turned into a pile of bones that fell down in mid-air.

“Blood Devouring Demonic Bug!” Chen Xun knew that the black mist was actually made up of hundreds of millions of Blood Devouring Demonic Beetles. He didn’t expect that the Blood Devouring Demonic Beetles raised by Demon Marshal Crimson Flame Ming would actually be attached to the giant wings of the Dragon Demon and directly charge into the most chaotic core battlefield.
