Chapter 145: with translation of chapter title
Facing the encirclement of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry, Xue Ren Gui and the others immediately fell into a predicament.
Xue Ren Gui, Jiao Mo, and Mo Peng were still fine.
But the Cangzhou Army behind them could barely hold on, their stamina and energy rapidly depleting, while the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry seemed tireless and kept launching attacks.
Each attack put the Cangzhou Army behind Xue Ren Gui in peril, and each defense made them feel immense pressure.
However, at that moment, Xue Ren Gui's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He observed that the knights of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry left a brief opening when they launched an attack.
Thus, he seized that opening and led the Cangzhou Army behind him in a deadly counterattack.
Xue Ren Gui, wielding the Coiling Dragon Fangtian Halberd, charged like lightning into the formation of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry, thrusting the halberd into a knight's chest.
Immediately afterward, the Cangzhou Army behind him also launched attacks, throwing the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry's formation into disarray.
The knights of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry were caught somewhat off guard by the counterattack of Xue Ren Gui and the others.
They never expected that, in such a disadvantageous situation, Xue Ren Gui and the others could still launch such a deadly counterattack.
For a moment, the formation of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry fell into slight chaos.
However, the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry were, after all, a well-trained elite force.
This counterattack was not enough to affect them greatly.
After a brief chaos, they quickly adjusted their tactics and formation, then launched another fierce attack on Xue Ren Gui and the others.
This time, their attacks were more fierce and more deadly.
Although Xue Ren Gui and the others fought with all their might to resist, they were ultimately driven back step by step by the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry's fierce assault.
Seeing that the rearguard Cangzhou troops left behind him were about to be completely annihilated by the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry, Xue Ren Gui's heart filled with helplessness.
This truly wasn't because he was incapable.
It was purely a gap in individual combat ability.
Even if he, Jiao Mo, and Mo Peng were desperately fighting at the front.
The Cangzhou Army behind could not withstand the rapid, fierce attacks from the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry coming from all directions.
At this moment, Xue Ren Gui had already done his utmost, but facing such an elite force as the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry.
This makeshift detachment still appeared too insignificant and weak in individual quality.
Jiao Mo and Mo Peng stood at the outermost edge of the formation, their gazes cold and fixed on the enemy before them.
"Third brother, prepare to unleash the Dharma Aspect," Jiao Mo said in a low voice.
Mo Peng ahead nodded, saying nothing.
Unleashing the Dharma Aspect meant exposing this detachment's long-hidden trump card; afterward, relying on it to secretly undermine the Qi Zhou army would be difficult.
But the current situation left no room for them to hold anything back.
The Silver Feather Flying Cavalry, as the elite of Qi Zhou, are light cavalry.
Worse still, they were caught on a plain ideal for cavalry charges.
If they still did not reveal it at this time.
Then, aside from the three of them, the rearguard Cangzhou troops left behind.
The other Cangzhou troops on the plain faced the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry.
Not a single one could hope to escape!
Jiao Mo and Mo Peng stood at the very front of the battlefield, their gazes steadfast, like two insurmountable mountains blocking the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry's advance.
"Jiao Mo, Mo Peng…" Xue Ren Gui looked at them, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes.
He knew that Jiao Mo and Mo Peng had long concealed the Dharma Aspect as their trump card.
But now they could only choose to reveal it.
"General Xue, now is not the time to hesitate."
Jiao Mo said in a deep voice, his tone conveying an unquestionable resolve: "Unleash the Dharma Aspect, cover your retreat!"
Mo Peng nodded, saying nothing, but his gaze was as firm as Jiao Mo's.
At this moment, the rearguard Cangzhou troops had no retreat left; they must exert all their strength to cover the retreat of Xue Ren Gui and the Cangzhou Army.
As their eyes narrowed, a powerful surge of gangqi suddenly burst from their bodies.
Immediately afterward, two massive Dharma Aspects formed of gangqi slowly appeared behind them.
Jiao Mo's Dharma Aspect was a flood dragon, its massive body covered in stern scales, its eyes flashing with a fierce light; Mo Peng's Dharma Aspect was a great Peng bird, its wings spread wide in high flight, its wings like blades, as if to tear apart any obstacle before them.
As soon as the flood dragon and great Peng bird appeared, they immediately drew the attention of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry.
They all halted their attacks, looking uncertainly at these two suddenly appearing Dharma Aspects.
"Dharma Aspect!"
"How is that possible!"
The several leaders at the forefront of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry looked in astonishment at the two Dharma Aspects before them.
Their heads felt a bit dizzy.
They now had two War Gods.
As for being chased by them and leaping about?
But Jiao Mo and Mo Peng would not let this opportunity pass; unleashing the Dharma Aspect consumed a huge amount of gangqi and stamina, and they immediately drove the Dharma Aspects to attack the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry.
As Jiao Mo wielded the Flood Dragon Sea-Covering Halberd, the gangqi flood dragon behind him opened its mouth and spewed a fierce gangqi like a rainbow, piercing straight into the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry's formation; the great Peng bird flapped its wings, whipping up a gangqi gale that blew the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry into disarray.
Under these two powerful attacks, the formation of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry instantly fell into great chaos.
They had to divert forces to deal with these two Dharma Aspects, which gave Xue Ren Gui and the Cangzhou Army a chance to retreat.
"Retreat!"
Xue Ren Gui seized the opportunity, shouted loudly, and then led the way running to the other side of the plain.
The soldiers of the Cangzhou Army also followed behind Xue Ren Gui, retreating to the other side of the plain.
Under the cover of Jiao Mo and Mo Peng, Xue Ren Gui and the Cangzhou Army successfully retreated to the other side of the plain.
They looked back and saw that Jiao Mo and Mo Peng's Dharma Aspects were still fiercely battling the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry.
The Flood Dragon and Great Peng Bird appeared out of nowhere, as mighty as two heavenly deities, leaving the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry helpless.
However, Jiao Mo and Mo Peng knew that maintaining their Dharma Aspects would not last long.
They simply did not have enough stamina and strong qi to waste on the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry.
It was also impossible to kill all of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry in one go.
Therefore, they had to quickly shake off the entanglement of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry.
Otherwise, once their stamina was drained and they got caught, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thus, after covering the retreat of Xue Ren Gui and the Cangzhou Army, Jiao Mo and Mo Peng immediately activated their Dharma Aspects to launch a more violent attack on the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry.
Jiao Mo and the Great Peng Bird seemed to be infused with endless power, making their attacks fiercer and more violent.
Under these two powerful attacks, the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry kept retreating and could not resist at all.
Seeing this, Jiao Mo and Mo Peng seized the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry's weak point.
Only see behind them, the Flood Demon and the Great Peng Bird simultaneously waved their wings and tails, stirring up a powerful storm.
The storm swept past, scattering the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry in disarray, making it impossible to organize an effective counterattack.
Taking this opportunity, Jiao Mo and Mo Peng quickly broke free from the entanglement of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry.
Madly channeling the remaining strong qi within their bodies, they fled far away and soon vanished into the horizon.
Seeing this, the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry, though unwilling, could do nothing about it.
They knew that, for the time being, there was no need to pursue.
The opposing side had two War Gods.
Moreover, judging from the situation, they were not ordinary War Gods.
Jiao Mo and Mo Peng's Dharma Aspects were too powerful; even if they caught up,
before their stamina ran out, they probably could not do anything to them.
In such a situation, there was no need to exchange the precious lives of the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry for the stamina of Jiao Mo and Mo Peng.
