Chapter 112: Abandonment
Outside the Tiandu City, there was still a shouting at this time.
Without the hindrance of the Tang Tribulation, those Styx Deadpools have returned to the battlefield to fight against human cultivators. Although because of the Tang Tribulation, they suffered heavy casualties, and they were already dead to less than a third. But even this third of Styx Deadpool still causes great trouble for everyone. Anyone who encounters such an unkillable opponent will also feel a headache.
With the undead nature of Styx Deadpool, the ghosts of the underworld are taking advantage of their numerical superiority and continuously covering up and killing.
However, after the initial strength, the Terran cultivators were obviously not as strong as before, as the battle array collapsed, the personnel were damaged, and the mana was consumed.
The numerical superiority in the war was finally manifested at this moment, that is, the abundance of stamina.
As long as there are enough soldiers, the ghost clan can continue to fight, no need for morale, fearless casualties, and fight to the death!
The army formed by all kinds of ghosts came in waves like a tidal wave, and the majestic ghost mist swept in, bringing a strong pressure of death.
In this case, the goal of breaking through the Tiandu City, destroying the Great Array, and saving the people gradually became difficult.
And as the strength of the other increases, the difficulties will further increase.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Tianzhong also became a little anxious, and shouted: "Everyone, charge with me, you will definitely break through the Chaoluo Heavenly Machine Array of Na Laoshizi!"
As he spoke, the Three-Flavored True Fire Dragon roared and rushed downward.
But the Black Roulette of the Hades Emperor Zhaoluo shone at the same time, and the boundless black mist had been wrapped into a huge black dragon roaring out. This black dragon was made of ghost mist condensation, and it was not inferior to the True Fire Heavenly Dragon of the Source Heavenly Heavy.
At the same time, more ghost kings and ghosts will pounce and kill at each Purple Mansion, almost every Purple Mansion is surrounded by five or six high-level ghost kings plus a group of low-level ghost kings, each of whom is facing opponents who are ten times or even dozens of times larger.
As a result, the siege of Zhaoluo by Wei Tianchong and others was also disintegrated, and endless ghosts poured up and forcibly separated them.
Although with their strong strength, they killed batch after batch, but the endless tide of ghosts and things, as if the never-ending impact, still made people desperate.
The remnants of the night were the first to feel unbearable, his sword had slashed too many wraiths, and as an assassin-type cultivator who specialized in dealing with high-level targets, such a massacre was rare, even unimaginable, for him. But fighting for a long time is not his strong point after all, the use of the sword of sacrifice twice has cost him a lot, and the battle with Zhaoluo has exhausted his mental strength. Coupled with the fact that he is not good at group combat, in this case, to face the continuous ghost tide offensive, even Zifu feels unbearable.
Strike!
A wind claw had grasped him. Although it was only an inconspicuous scar, it still revealed his weak nature. Fortunately, the ghosts are ruthless, although they don't know how to be afraid, they will not be so demoralized because of this great morale, and they did not cheer, so that this meaningful blow was directly buried.
The remnants of the night had to retreat to avoid being besieged as much as possible. Although he is strong, in the face of the endless tide of ghosts, what he has to consider is not only how many enemies will be killed with this blow, but what flaws will there be in my blow, how much mana to save, how to avoid more damage, and so on.
However, this is not just a scar of the night, the vast majority of cultivators have already fallen into a bitter battle. Purple Mansion level cultivators are okay, no matter what, their strength is strong, and those ghost kings are not infinite. Those cultivators who were in an extraordinary state of mind were much more dangerous, facing the impact of a large number of ghosts, as well as the existence of Deadpool in the River Styx, which made the cultivators more and more overwhelmed.
The battle formation was further reduced, and the original momentum of impact was even more stopped, but it was forced back step by step.
Originally, when they were closest to the killing, they were already less than a hundred zhang away from the top of Tiandu City, but that little distance seemed to have become a heavenly moat, and the cultivators of all the races found that they could not take a step forward, but were beaten back by Shengsheng.
"Ahh
A cultivator fell from the sky, and before he could die, he saw countless ghosts screaming and pounced on him, frantically devouring his flesh and blood essence.
This is a Soul Transformation cultivator, and at this moment in the battle, it is the first time that there have been casualties at the Soul Transformation level.
But that's not the end.
Soon, the second and third soul cultivators also began to fall.
More and more cultivators were killed in battle, and the sky was sprinkled with human blood.
"Can't rush anymore!" Someone finally shouted: "If we continue to fight like this, don't say that we can't break this formation, and even we ourselves will have to lose!"
"The time has been lost, Sect Master, hurry up and order a retreat. Another elder of the Great Sun Sect shouted.
Gentian groaned heavily.
As he was thinking, someone objected, "Now that we're gone, what will happen to those people?"
An elder of the Great Sun Sect immediately said, "The matter has come to this point, what can we do? No matter what the conspiracy of the Hades Emperor is, we can't stop it." Even if you give up all your lives here, you will only die in vain. For the sake of today, we should immediately return to our human territory, free from the invasion of the ghost mist, and defend ourselves. ”
"That's right, I see that the Underworld Emperor cares so much about this array, so it can be seen that this invasion of the underworld is mostly for this matter. Perhaps after he finishes this, the Underworld invasion will end. We attacked so hard that we fell behind. ”
"But it may also make that guy's strength even stronger, and he will no longer be able to resist in the future. "The crowd was not all in favor of the retreat, there were also opponents.
"It's better than dying all here, and then there's nothing!"
"That is, no matter what, we have done our best for those people, and when this is a great disaster, we cannot do anything, and we can only blame them for their own bad luck. ”
Everyone said a word, and after all, it was the retreat that prevailed.
At this time, Qi Shaoming suddenly said: "What about Tang Zheng? He was taken in the middle of the battle, what should he do? Don't you just ignore him?"
Everyone was dumbfounded at the same time.
After a long silence, an Wuji Sect elder said, "I'm afraid I can only stand up to Tang Gongzi." ”
Wei Tianchong was furious: "My brother is in the enemy camp for you, but you want to ignore him?"
"Hurry up with power, now that the situation is critical, how can you abandon everyone because of the life and death of one person?" said the elder who first proposed to retreat. This person's name is Liao Chao, and he is also a very senior one in Da Ri Sect. At this moment, he blew his beard and glared: "That Tang has robbed the formation, life and death are unknown, and now he may be dead, and what time will be delayed." ”
"You fucking fart!" Qi Xia and the other cultivators were furious at the same time, shouting and scolding together.
At this critical moment, the two groups of people actually quarreled with each other, and when they were distracted, they made the ghost army rush closer and gather from all directions.
The sun was dimming, the clouds were expanding, and the bright sky that had been dug up had shrunk into a dome.
But even with this, the two sides still do not back down.
Seeing that the group cultivators of the Qixia Realm refused to retreat, Liao Chao was anxious, and said, "You have to stay for yourself, and I will wait for you to go!"
He said that he was going to leave forcibly.
Wei Tian glared: "I see who dares to leave! Don't force Lao Tzu to turn against the water now!"
There was an uproar, and chaos had emerged.
The ghost army outside is besieging the city, and the saber is tense inside, at this moment, even the shouts of Yuan Tianzhong are useless.
At this moment, suddenly an astonishing light flashed out of the burst, and it went straight into the sky.
The cultivators were puzzled, but the Hades Emperor Zhaoluo shouted: "It's not good!"
But he forsook them all, and rushed into the middle of the array.
Before the cultivators of the Burning Sun Realm could react to what was going on, everyone in the Qixia Realm had already realized what was happening.
Wei Tianchong laughed and said, "I knew that Tang Zheng couldn't die." That Emperor of the Underworld dared to detain the Tang Tribulation in the array, it was simply looking for death. How many people in the world can surpass him?"
Only then did the cultivators realize that this must have been what Tang Zheng had done to make Zhao Luo so panicked that he didn't even care about the battlefield.
Without Zhao Luo's command, the pressure on the cultivators was greatly reduced.
This is not only because the ghost clan lacks an important combat force, but also because without Zhaoluo's unified command, the ghost army will easily become a plate of scattered sand, and its attacks will no longer be as complete as before.
The cultivators also got a chance to breathe.
Under these circumstances, Gen Tianzhong finally made a decision: "Everyone must not retreat, and fight to the death on the spot." ”
"Sect Master, you are risking everyone's lives!" That Liao Chao still objected: "The opportunity to destroy the Great Array has trended, and the Emperor of the Underworld personally entered the formation to kill Tang Tribulation, and Tang Tribulation will never be the opponent of the Emperor of the Underworld." If we don't leave at this time, once we wait for the Emperor of the Underworld to return after killing the Tang Tribulation, and then mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress it, we will definitely die!"
Everyone was speechless at the same time.
Yes, with the heart demon against the god, the gap between the whole complete realm, how can Tang Zheng win?
Yuan Tianzhong couldn't help but hesitate again.
Seeing this situation, Qi Shaoming snorted secretly, knowing that this Yuan Tianzhong had a somewhat gentle temperament, and he was easy to be swayed by the opinions of the people around him, so he said: "In this case, why don't you wait? If he fails to do so, then Tang Zheng is still fighting, so what reason do we have to retreat?"
Yuan Tian listened to it again, and finally nodded: "This is reasonable. In this way, if the Emperor of Hades comes out of battle, no matter what the outcome is, we will retreat immediately. Until then, please hold on a little longer. ”
Even though he said this, he didn't conclude that everyone's hope of escaping was finally accepted.
No one realized that in this case, the key to the victory or defeat of this war had been shifted to Tang Zheng.
