Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 112: Abandon
Outside Tiandu City, there was still shouting and killing.
Without the obstruction 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 ghosts in the underworld are 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 war is 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 Sanwei 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 Facing opponents ten times or even dozens of times stronger.
The siege of Zhaoluo by Xi Canhen, Wei Tianchong and others was thus broken. Endless ghosts surged up and separated them forcefully.
Although with their strong strength, they killed batch after batch, the endless tide of ghosts with no end in sight and the seemingly endless impact still made people despair.
Xi Canhen was the first to feel unbearable. His sword has killed too many resentful souls. As an assassin-type cultivator who specializes in dealing with high-level targets, such massacres are rare for him. , even difficult to imagine. But long-term battles are not his strong point after all. The two uses of the Shengsheng Sword already cost him a lot, and the battle with Zhaoluo even more exhausted 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.
Pounce!
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 besieged 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 cultivators are already in a bitter 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.
At the time of the closest attack, it was already less than a hundred feet away from the top of Tiandu City. However, that distance seemed to be a chasm. The cultivators of the human race 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 is a soul-transforming cultivator. At this moment in the battle, there are 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 continue fighting like this, we will not be able to break this formation, even we ourselves will be trapped!"
"The opportunity has been lost, sect leader, hurry up and order a 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 the current plan, we should immediately return to our human territory, not to be invaded by the ghost mist, and to defend ourselves."
"Yes, I see that the Underworld Emperor cares so much about this formation. It can be seen that this underworld invasion is probably for this matter. Maybe after he completes this, the underworld invasion will end. If we attack like this, Instead, I fell behind."
"But it may also make that guy stronger and 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. When this disaster comes, we cannot do anything against it. We can only blame them for their own misfortune."
Everyone said something to me, but in the end the idea 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 of 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?"
"In urgent matters, we must obey the authority. 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, Chui Huixiao glared and said: "Then Tang Jie entered the formation, his life and death are unknown. He might be dead now, so how long can we waste?"
"You **** 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 originally bright sky 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 will leave on my own!"
As he spoke, he actually wanted to leave by force.
Wei Tianchong glared: "Let's see who dares to leave! Don't force me to rebel now!"
There are noises everywhere and chaos has 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 of the array and shot straight into the sky.
The cultivators were puzzled, but the Underworld Emperor Zhaoluo shouted: "No!"
He actually abandoned everyone and rushed toward the formation.
The cultivators in Yanyang Realm have not yet realized what is going on, but everyone in Qixia Realm has realized what happened.
Wei Tianchong laughed loudly and said: "I knew that Tang Jie would not die. That Emperor Hades dared to lock Tang Jie into the formation. He was simply seeking death. There are few people in the world who can surpass him in the formation. ?"
The cultivators suddenly realized that this must be something Tang Jie had done 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.
In this case, 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 is absolutely impossible. We are the opponents of the Hades Emperor. 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 made everyone speechless at the same time. ~IndoMTL.com~ Yes, with the inner demon versus the transformed god, there is a whole huge gap in the realm, 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 unpredictable and easily influenced by the opinions of people around him, so he said: "In that case, why don't you wait, sect leader? If the Hades Emperor kills Tang Jie and comes out of the formation, we have no problem with you retreating. If he fails, then Tang Jie is still fighting, so what reason do we have to retreat?"
Yuantian listened again and finally nodded: "That makes sense. Let's do this. If the Hades Emperor goes out, no matter what the outcome is, we will retreat immediately. Before that, please persist 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 in this situation, the key to winning or losing the war had actually been transferred to Tang Jie. Mobile users please visit
