Chapter 345: The General Trend is Gone

The battle outside the heavens finally stopped when the terrifying aura of the heavenly tribulation was about to reach the critical point, and both Prisoner Cow and Zhu Zhu Yuanjin disappeared.

Wei Yuan finally waited for the Fenhai Zhenjun's secret hand, and without any reservations, his momentum suddenly changed, and a huge immortal sword appeared in his hand.

This sword looked ordinary, and in fact, it was ordinary. But when Wei Yuan held the giant sword upside down and inserted it into the void in front of him, the Xu family's Dharma Form elder felt like the heavenly tribulation was imminent, and he wanted to escape like a madman, not even caring about the thunderous blow under the lock of the two puppets.

Wei Yuan flicked the sword, and a silent sword sound rippled out, and the surrounding heaven and earth were instantly filled with a sense of desolation and sorrow, like a sad song after the collapse of a ten-thousand-year dynasty.

The Dharma Form elder's primordial spirit shook, and for a moment his mind was blank, and his next thought was inexplicably cleared, actually not knowing what he wanted to do.

Although he remembered it again immediately, he was already blooming like fireworks, and all his life-saving Dao techniques were triggered. Just this moment of stagnation had already caused him to suffer unknown heavy blows.

A strand of black-red pill fire shot out from below, hitting the elder's ankle, instantly turning the magic power of his entire lower leg green, emitting the fishy smell of a dead fish.

Sun Yu had been waiting until this moment to take action, directly crippling one of the elder's legs, and also crippling his ability to fly and escape. The two puppets took the opportunity to rush up, grabbing the Dharma Form elder's two arms respectively.

The elder gritted his teeth, and a group of strong light suddenly lit up on his Dharma Form, and then a terrifying magic power storm swept through a hundred zhang!

He was actually going to self-destruct his Dharma Form!

The magic power storm destroyed everything within a hundred zhang in the blink of an eye, and Sun Yu escaped in a somewhat disheveled state. In the blink of an eye, the storm subsided, and Wei Yuan was still standing in the original place, the giant sword blocking in front of him, actually sealing the incoming magic power storm.

And the two Dharma Form puppets were covered in holes; if they were human, they would have been blown to death.

And the Xu family elder's Dharma Form actually didn't all collapse, still leaving a little bit. His Dharma Form was originally a giant spinning turtle, but now the turtle shell had completely disappeared, turning into a slender lizard, and the lizard's tail and four limbs were also blown away; if you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a snake.

This elder's Dharma Form was special, and his ability to save his life could be called supreme. Who could have imagined that self-destructing a Dharma Form could only blow up the outer shell?

It was just that he didn't expect that the two martial artists were really puppets, actually not dodging or avoiding. If it were a normal human cultivator, they would have dodged by instinct.

Sun Yu sprayed another mouthful of pill fire from afar, burning off the elder's other foot.

Wei Yuan roared, swung the giant sword, and slashed at the Dharma Form elder's head!

This sword shattered the elder's last bit of magic power, cutting open his skull, which had been tempered to be comparable to a top-tier magic treasure, and stopped just at the edge of his brain.

Wei Yuan reached out and took a picture, and Cui Yu appeared, subconsciously grabbing the giant sword's hilt.

"Slash!" Wei Yuan shouted.

Cui Yu was startled, his face burning slightly, but he knew this was not the time to be pretentious, so he gritted his teeth, his Dao power burst out, and he pressed down with both hands, cutting the elder in two!

Wei Yuan and the two puppets and Sun Yu killed their way toward Feng Feng Tingyu's side. That Dharma Form elder had long been scared out of his wits, and after being slashed by Feng Feng Tingyu, he turned and flew out of the domain, never looking back.

Wei Yuan could actually catch up if he wanted to, but he didn't chase, but carried the two puppets and flew to a mound above the edge of the domain. The mound suddenly appeared with countless holes, and a full thirty thousand troops drilled out from underground, walking with neat and uniform steps, and under the sitting of the two Dharma Form puppets, they ran along the edge of the domain toward the northwest, wanting to cut off the retreat of the entire Xu family army!

Seeing the hundred-zhang-high military spirit from afar, Xu Xu Zhongxing also gasped!

This was Wei Yuan's killing move; he had planned to keep the entire Xu family army from the very beginning!

Xu Xu Zhongxing made a decisive decision, immediately ordered a retreat, and at the same time ordered Fan Fan Donghe to lead the rear army to intercept this suddenly appearing elite force.

It was just that the front line was fighting in a mess, so how could it be easy to retreat? The domain soldiers were all battle-hardened veterans, and seeing that the opponent had the intention to retreat, they immediately entangled them one by one, saying nothing to let the opponent escape.

Xu Xu Zhongxing's face flashed with determination, and he suddenly slashed down with one sword, killing several Dao Foundation cultivators silently!

At this moment, Zhang Sheng was already seriously injured after blocking the Fenhai Zhenjun's strike, barely slashing out a sword qi, which was easily dodged by Xu Xu Zhongxing. He tried to approach Zhang Sheng, but Zhang Sheng teleported a hundred zhang. With the blessing of the domain's power, even if he was weak, Zhang Sheng's escape speed was not inferior to Xu Xu Zhongxing.

Finding that he couldn't catch up with Zhang Sheng, Xu Xu Zhongxing immediately changed his target, slashing over a dozen Dao Foundation cultivators in a row. The black qi climbed up his neck again, but he didn't care.

The Azure Void soldiers finally wavered; facing a Dharma Form like Xu Xu Zhongxing, no matter how many people went, it was just sending them to death.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Xu Zhongxing finally withdrew his troops from the position. But there were still some bullets in the Azure Void army, and there were heavy casualties during the retreat.

Wei Yuan saw that the situation was bad, and brought a Dharma Form puppet to rush over, accompanied by Sun Yu and Feng Feng Tingyu, jointly besieging Xu Xu Zhongxing.

Wei Yuan added fortune to Sun Yu and Feng Feng Tingyu, and then used the Dharma Form puppet to carry the vast majority of the offensive, only then barely blocking Xu Xu Zhongxing, leaving him no time to kill ordinary soldiers, and the armies of both sides began to fight on their own.

The domain's main force finally left the position at this moment, and began to chase and kill them.

On the other side of the battlefield, the mysterious unit commanded by Fan Fan Donghe also intercepted the mysterious unit. This unit all wore face masks, only revealing a pair of eyes. Everyone's eyes were expressionless, making Fan Fan Donghe feel a chill in his heart.

Fan Fan Donghe's rear army was mostly archers, starting to cover with arrow rain from two hundred zhang away. But that unit raised their shields neatly and uniformly, turning into a moving steel dragon, and the marching speed actually only slowed down slightly.

Several rounds of arrow rain fell, and the opponent's casualties were less than a hundred. The quality of the heavy shields they held was truly too good; only the elite private army responsible for defending the ancestral land of the Xu family could be equipped with this quality of heavy shields.

The troops in front were about to bypass them. Fan Fan Donghe was helpless and could only order the infantry to attack. When the large group of infantry had just rushed within twenty zhang, they saw fire guns suddenly extending from the gaps in the shield wall. Amidst the roar, the thousand people rushing at the front were all shot down!

The morale of the entire infantry collapsed instantly, and they fled in a panic, while this elite force didn't hesitate at all, marching toward the preset position, and even the sound of their footsteps was neat and uniform. Fan Fan Donghe was in a dilemma, his face extremely ugly.

He had led troops for many years and knew that the troops were already on the verge of collapse, and another attack would probably lead to a rout. But if he didn't attack, the rear path would be cut off.

At this moment, the only hope was the battle of high-level cultivators, but the two fighting beyond the heavens were clearly at a disadvantage for Prisoner Cow. And the two had been fighting for so long that there was already a terrifying aura in the air that made the primordial spirit tremble.

The Dharma Form level also fell into a stalemate. At this moment, there was no possibility of them coming to protect the troops. At this moment, the army's military spirit was wavering, and collapse was right in front of them.

In desperation, Fan Fan Donghe took out a scarlet medicine bottle and resolutely swallowed the pill inside. His face suddenly flushed, as if he were drunk, and his aura rose step by step.

"Keep shooting! Don't stop!" After giving the order, Fan Fan Donghe raised his saber and flew toward the opposing army, but was entangled by the Dharma Form puppet.

At this moment, the mysterious unit suddenly pushed out several round barrels, and several people held one, aiming at the archers a hundred zhang away. The next moment, one flying sword after another shot out from the round barrels, whistling into the archer unit!

Although by the Dao Foundation standard, these flying swords were ridiculously weak, and there were only a few hundred of them, they were the last straw.

Someone in the archer team began to flee, and once someone started, the whole team began to flee! Fan Fan Donghe sighed, knowing that the general trend was gone.

At this moment, the other two Dharma Form elders and True Person Master Chuhe were fighting extremely fiercely, flying swords slashing each other, Dao techniques exploding into groups of flames, each group of fire was dozens of zhang large, looking like the end of the world. But since Cui Yu killed that Dharma Form elder, both sides had not added any more injuries.

！.

Outside the heavens, when the terrifying aura of the heavenly tribulation was about to accumulate to the critical point, Prisoner Cow gave a sigh, and the battle finally stopped, and both Prisoner Cow and Zhu Zhu Yuanjin disappeared.

Wei Yuan left behind a puppet and Sun Yu and Feng Feng Tingyu to continue dragging Xu Xu Zhongxing, while he himself broke away from the battle situation here and rushed toward Fan Fan Donghe's side.

Xu Xu Zhongxing could not be killed, and he could not be kept. In Wei Yuan's heart, trapping tens of thousands of Xu family soldiers was far more important than killing an ordinary Dharma Form. So he chose to force Fan Fan Donghe back, led the troops to seize the eastern strategic location, and cut off the retreat of the Xu family army.

At this time, whistling sounds echoed in the sky from time to time, and Yu Yu Zhizhuo's artillery fire never stopped, leaving the Xu family troops with no way to regroup.

At this time, Xu Xu Zhongxing also knew that the situation was gone. He unleashed killing moves to force back Feng Feng Tingyu and Sun Yu, then returned to the barely assembled cavalry, combined his own Dharma Form with the army's Qi to stabilize it, and immediately led the two thousand remaining cavalry to charge back and forth on the battlefield, rescuing the troops trapped in the chaotic battle. Those who could not be rescued were left to disperse and flee on their own.

Two Xu family elders saw that the situation was not good and had already fled first.

Master Master Chuhe was invigorated, and the eight immortal swords shone brightly, beginning to cover and kill the fleeing soldiers.

Xu Xu Zhongxing repelled Wei Yuan, met up with Fan Fan Donghe, and then tried to attack the strange troop led by Wei Yuan once. As a result, two thousand cavalrymen all fell in the interval between twenty and ten zhang, and not a single one was spared!

Xu Xu Zhongxing was shocked, looked deeply at that army, led the cavalry to bypass Wei Yuan, climbed over mountains and ridges, and left the domain.

In this battle, although the Xu family only lost one Dharma Form elder, sixty thousand of the three hundred thousand troops were killed in battle, sixteen thousand were captured, and more than thirty thousand fled into the wilderness, whereabouts unknown. After the battle, the remaining soldiers Xu Xu Zhongxing gathered were only forty thousand, which could be called a complete defeat.

Qingming lost more than twenty thousand soldiers in total, of which more than ten thousand were wiped out by the Fenhai Zhenjun's finger, and thousands more died under Xu Xu Zhongxing's sword. Less than ten thousand actually died in the battle formation.

However, the war was not over yet.

Xu Xu Zhongxing, who had withdrawn from the domain, had just gathered some remnants when he received news that one of the two supply camps in the rear had been raided by horse bandits. Eight thousand guards were wiped out by less than five thousand horse bandits, the supplies in the camp that could not be transported in time were all burned to the ground, and all seventy thousand laborers in the camp were taken away by the horse bandits, whereabouts unknown.

Xu Xu Zhongxing knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it; horse bandits only rob money, why would they plunder laborers?

But at this time, he could not care about these things. Fan Fan Donghe had taken a pill that overdrawn his life and was now on the verge of death. Xu Xu Zhongxing let the two Dharma Form elders send him back to the Xu family for treatment first, while he led a team of cavalry to cover the retreat and protect the remnants returning north.

However, the tens of thousands of remnants had not walked ten miles when the army's Qi suddenly soared into the sky in front. A troop bypassed from behind the mountain; although the number was only five thousand, the army's Qi was biting, clearly a battle-hardened force!

At this time, the army's Qi also rose in the rear, and thousands of iron cavalry came clanking. This team of iron cavalry wore breastplates, held fire guns, and had long spears and slashing knives hanging by their horses.

Wei Yuan, surrounded by thousands of iron cavalry, was murderous. At this time, the green colt under his crotch had changed again; its body size had increased by a circle, its long mane had turned dark blue, its four hooves were like drums, and two dancing fleshy whiskers had grown by its lips, already having a trace of dragon appearance.

The two cavalry forces, one in front and one behind, blocked the Xu family's remnants in the middle.
