Chapter 75: Can't Stop at All!

"Clan Chief, let's flee! We can't win this fight!"

Beside the Centaur Clan Chief, the Centaur Clan's High Priest spoke.

This High Priest was no weakling, but his strength had its limits. He had just rescued the Centaur Clan Chief from Meng Ying's divine-technique attack, and the expenditure had already been considerable.

His face had also turned an especially deathly pale.

Flee!

Should they flee?

The Centaur Clan Chief looked at the Centaur warriors being beaten with no power to fight back, and his heart was filled with utter despair!

The Centaur Clan, in the internal wars of the Beastman tribes, had always been invincible.

Even when they suffered setbacks, it was against powerful races like the Lion Tribe or the Xiong Zu.

Yet now they had actually been beaten into such a state by the weak Fox Tribe!

The Centaur Clan Chief was unwilling to accept it!

But no matter how unwilling, it was useless now!

"Retreat!"

The Centaur Clan Chief bellowed, and took the lead, charging out of the canyon.

The moment his order went out, the remaining Centaur warriors in the canyon stopped charging one after another, and turned to flee back the way they had come!

"They're trying to escape!"

At the top of the canyon, the fox-woman Sister Qing Ling looked at the fleeing Centaur warriors and said.

Centaurs' speed was extraordinary; once they started fleeing, the fox-folk had no hope of catching them at all.

So, the moment the Centaur warriors began to flee, quite a few fox-folk grew anxious and rushed down to pursue.

But the fox-folk simply could not catch up!

Seeing these centaurs about to escape the canyon, Meng Ying said: "Pray, Holy Maiden!"

The fox-woman Sister Qing Ling nodded, her ten fingers tightly interlocked and placed before her chest, and began to pray softly.

Just three seconds later.

"Boom—!"

Ahead of the fleeing Centaur warriors, flames suddenly surged up.

These flames spread with extraordinary speed, and in the blink of an eye they formed a wall of fire ahead of the Centaur warriors!

Some of the faster Centaur warriors simply could not stop, charging straight into the flames—and were instantly turned into roast whole centaur!

Some Centaur warriors forced themselves to a halt, but were immediately rammed by the centaurs charging from behind, crashing headlong into the flames, shrieking as they burned.

"Don't come anymore, there's fire ahead!"

"Stop quickly, don't charge forward!"

The centaurs up front shouted loudly.

Behind them, those centaurs also wore bitter expressions.

They wanted to stop too, but behind them were nothing but centaurs driven by slaughter to think of nothing but flight—how could they possibly stop!

And so, in that moment, no one knew how many centaurs were rammed by those behind them into the flames, burned to death alive!

"The great Lord of Flames has intervened!"

Unlike the Centaur warriors' dire straits, atop the canyon, all the fox-folk warriors were leaping for joy!

In this battle, these fox-folk had already performed quite well.

Archers handled the main assault, coordinating with large numbers of spear-throwers, while an even greater number in the front lines were responsible for protecting the archers and stopping the Centaur warriors' charge.

Over eight thousand Centaur warriors had fought until now, with less than half remaining.

But the centaurs' speed was too great; relying on these fox-folk warriors alone to annihilate them entirely was still a very tough task.

Fortunately, the great Lord of Flames had finally sent down his power, cutting off the Centaur warriors' retreat!

The fox-folk, having witnessed the Lord of Flames' power, were all immensely thrilled, and their fighting spirit surged even higher!

"Damn it, the retreat route is sealed!"

The Centaur Clan Chief, in the middle of the formation, saw that scene and his face grew extremely ugly.

"Charge through the canyon, break out from the other end!"

The Centaur Clan Chief decided on the spot, leading the Centaur warriors to turn back once more, accelerating to charge through the canyon!

Atop the canyon, the fox-folk had long since rained every kind of attack down upon them.

Although these centaurs were very fast, charging through this stretch of canyon cost them several hundred more centaurs.

Just as they were about to burst out of the canyon.

"Boom—!"

At the other end of the canyon, flames blazed up once more—raging and fierce!
