Chapter 112 Abandonment
Outside Tiandu City, there was still shouting and killing.
Without the hindrance of Tang Jie, those Stygian Dead Guards have returned to the battlefield to fight with human cultivators. Although they suffered heavy casualties due to Tang Jie, less than one-third of them were dead. But even this one-third of the Stygian Deadpools still caused great trouble to everyone. Anyone who encounters such an unkillable opponent will feel a huge headache.
Relying on the immortality of the Styx Deadpool, the underworld ghost clan is taking advantage of their numerical advantage to cover them up one after another.
After the initial strength of the human cultivators, as the battle formation collapsed, personnel were lost, and mana was consumed, they were obviously not as strong as before.
The numerical advantage in the war was finally reflected at this moment, that is, sufficient stamina.
As long as there are enough soldiers, the ghost clan can continue to fight, without any need for morale, without fear of casualties, and fight to the death!
The army of various ghosts came one after another like a sea wave, and the majestic ghost mist swept across, bringing strong death pressure.
Under such circumstances, the goal of breaking through Tiandu City, destroying the formation, and rescuing the people gradually became difficult.
And with the ebb and flow of strength, the difficulties will further increase.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Tianzhong became a little anxious and shouted: "Everyone, charge with me, we will definitely break Nao Shizi's Hunluo Tianji Formation!"
As he spoke, the Sanmi Fire Dragon roared and rushed downwards.
But the black roulette of the Underworld Emperor Zhaoluo shone at the same time, and the boundless black mist rolled into a huge black dragon roaring out. This black dragon is made of ghost mist, and is no less powerful than the True Fire Heavenly Dragon which is heavier than Yuan Tian.
At the same time, more ghost kings and ghost generals rushed out and attacked each purple mansion. Almost every purple mansion was surrounded by five or six high-level ghost kings plus a group of middle and low-level ghost kings. Everyone was fighting against the previous ones. Opponents that count ten times or even dozens of times.
As a result, the siege of Zhaoluo by Xi Canhen, Wei Tianchong and others was shattered. Endless ghosts surged up and separated them forcefully.
Although they had killed batch after batch with their powerful strength, the seemingly endless onslaught of the endless tide of ghosts still made people despair.
Xi Canhen was the first to feel unbearable. His sword had killed too many resentful souls. As an assassin-type cultivator who specializes in dealing with high-level targets, such massacres were rare for him, even It’s hard to imagine. But long-term battles are not his strong point after all.
The two uses of the Shengsheng Sword were already very draining for him, and the battle with Zhao Luo was even more exhausting for him. Coupled with the fact that he is not good at group battles, even Zi Mansion would feel unbearable to face the continuous attack of ghosts in this situation.
flutter!
A claw of sinister wind has grabbed hold of him. Although it was just an inconspicuous scar, it still exposed his weak nature. Fortunately, the ghosts are ruthless. Although they don't know fear, they will not be so excited that the morale of the soldiers will soar. There will be no cheers, so that this very meaningful blow will be buried directly.
Xi Canhen had to retreat back, trying to avoid being surrounded as much as possible. Although he is powerful, facing the endless tide of ghosts, what he has to consider is not only how many enemies will be killed with this blow, but also what flaws will this blow have, how much mana should be saved, and how to avoid more enemies. Lots of damage and so on.
But such a person is definitely not just a remnant, most of the cultivators have fallen into a hard battle. The cultivators at the Zifu level were okay. No matter how powerful they were, those ghost kings were not infinitely numerous. Those cultivators with a heavenly state of mind that have transcended the mortal realm are in much greater danger. Facing the impact of massive ghosts and the presence of the dead servants of Styx, the cultivators are increasingly exhausted.
The battle formation further shrunk, and the original impact momentum was curbed, and instead was forced back step by step.
Originally, when they were closest to the attack, they were less than a hundred feet away from the top of Tiandu City. However, that distance seemed to be a chasm. The human cultivators found that they could no longer move forward and were instead beaten back.
"Ah!" A shrill scream sounded.
A cultivator fell from the sky. Before he died, he saw countless ghosts screaming and rushing towards him, wildly devouring his flesh and blood.
This was a soul-transforming cultivator. At this moment in the battle, there were soul-transforming level casualties for the first time.
But this is not the end.
Soon, the second and third soul-transforming cultivators also began to die.
More and more cultivators died in the battle, and the sky was filled with human blood.
"We can't charge any more!" Someone finally shouted: "If we keep fighting like this, we won't be able to break this formation, even we ourselves will be trapped!"
"The opportunity has been lost, sect leader, quickly order the retreat." Another elder of the Great Sun Sect shouted.
Yuan Tianzhong pondered for a moment.
While he was thinking, someone already objected: "Now that we are gone, what will happen to those people?"
An elder of the Great Sun Sect immediately said: "Now that the matter has come to this, what can be done? No matter what the underworld emperor's conspiracy is, we can't stop it. Even if we sacrifice all the lives here, we will only die in vain. For now Plan, we should return to my human territory immediately, not to be invaded by the ghost mist, and defend ourselves."
"Yes, I see that the Underworld Emperor cares so much about this formation. From this, we can know that this underworld invasion is probably for this matter. Maybe after he completes this, the underworld invasion will end. We attacked so hard, but fell behind Inferior."
"But it may also increase that guy's strength and make him unable to resist in the future." Not all of the crowd supported the retreat, there were also opponents.
"It's better than dying here and losing everything!"
"That is, no matter what, we have done our best for those people. In such a catastrophic situation, we can't do anything against it. We can only blame them for their own misfortune."
Everyone said something to each other, but in the end the opinion of retreat prevailed.
At this time, Qi Shaoming suddenly said: "What about Tang Jie? He was captured in the formation, what should he do? Don't you just ignore him?"
Everyone was speechless at the same time.
After a moment of silence, an elder from the Wuji Sect said, "I'm afraid I have no choice but to be sorry to Mr. Tang."
Wei Tianchong was furious: "My brother is trapped in enemy lines for you, but you want to ignore him?"
"We must obey the authority when the matter is urgent. The situation is critical now. How can we abandon everyone just because of the life and death of one person?" The elder who first proposed the retreat said. This person's name is Liao Chao, and he is considered a very senior person in the Great Sun Sect. At this moment, Blowing Beard glared and said: "Then Tang Jie entered the formation, his life and death are unknown. He might be dead now, so what time is wasted."
"You fucking fart!" Qixia cultivators were furious at the same time, shouting and cursing together.
At this critical moment, the two groups actually quarreled with each other. In their distraction, the ghost army rushed closer and surrounded them from all directions.
It can be seen in the sky that the sun is dimming, the dark clouds are expanding, and the bright sky that was originally dug out has shrunk into a dome.
But despite this, both sides still refused to give in.
When Liao Chao saw that the Qixia Realm cultivators refused to retreat, he became anxious and said, "You want to stay here, and I'll leave on my own!"
He said that he was about to leave forcefully.
Wei Tianchong glared: "Let's see who dares to leave! Don't force me to rebel now!"
There were noises everywhere, and chaos had emerged.
The ghost army besieged the city outside, and the situation was tense inside. At this moment, even Yuan Tianzhong's shouts were of no use.
At this moment, an astonishing light suddenly flashed out from the formation, shooting straight into the sky.
The cultivators were puzzled, but the Underworld Emperor Zhaoluo shouted: "No!"
He actually abandoned everyone and rushed towards the formation.
Before the cultivators in the Yanyang Realm could realize what was going on, everyone in the Qixia Realm had already realized what had happened.
Wei Tianchong laughed loudly and said: "I knew that Tang Jie would not die. That Emperor Hades dared to imprison Tang Jie in the formation. He was simply seeking death. How many people in the world can surpass him in the formation?"
Only then did the cultivators suddenly realize that Tang Jie must have done something to make Zhaoluo so panicked that he didn't even care about the battlefield.
Without Zhaoluo's command, the pressure on the cultivators was greatly reduced.
This is not only because the ghost clan is missing an important combat force, but also because without Zhaoluo's unified command, the ghost army will easily become a mess, and its attacks will no longer be as perfect as before.
The practitioners also got a chance to breathe.
Under this situation, Yuan Tianzhong finally made a decision: "No one is allowed to retreat and fight to the death on the spot."
"Sect Master, you are risking everyone's lives!" Liao Chao still objected: "The chance of destroying the formation has been increased. The Hades Emperor personally entered the formation to kill Tang Jie. Tang Jie can never be the Hades Emperor. Opponent. If we don’t leave now, once the Hades Emperor returns after killing Tang Jie, and then mobilizes an army to encircle and suppress us, we will definitely die!"
This statement made everyone speechless at the same time.
Yes, there is a huge gap between the inner demon and the transformed god. How can Tang Jie win?
Yuan Tianzhong couldn't help but hesitate again.
Seeing this situation, Qi Shaoming snorted secretly, knowing that Yuan Tianzhong had a soft temperament, was always scheming, and was easily influenced by the opinions of people around him, so he said: "In this case, why doesn't the sect master wait? If that Ming Ming The emperor killed Tang Jie and came out of the formation, and we have no problem with you retreating. If he fails to do it, then Tang Jie is still fighting, so what reason do we have to retreat?"
Yuan Tian listened again and finally nodded: "That makes sense. Let's do this. If the Underworld Emperor goes out, no matter what the outcome is, we will retreat immediately. Before that, please hold on a little longer."
Since he said this and did not conclude that everyone had any hope of escape, the cultivators finally accepted it.
No one realized that under such circumstances, the key to winning or losing the war had actually been transferred to Tang Jie. Mobile users please visit
