Chapter 534 Withdrawal from the Battlefield!
Yang Lin gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anger and resentment.
But he knew that one should not be sentimental on the battlefield. The retreat had already begun, and there was no need for any accidents to happen now. It was pointless to dwell on casualties anymore.
Otherwise, the entire army would be doomed.
However, despite Yang Lin’s best efforts to inspire his soldiers to resist the rebel coalition’s offensive, the retreating army gradually descended into chaos.
Taking advantage of the situation, the anti-king coalition launched a fierce offensive, attempting to completely crush the army of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
"Damn it! We're surrounded!"
A general who was leading a small force away from the battlefield shouted in terror.
He looked up and saw that the soldiers of the anti-king coalition were surging up like a tide, surrounding his small force.
Their eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, as if they wanted to devour the army of the Great Xuan Dynasty completely.
Yang Lin gripped his spear tightly, his heart filled with anger and helplessness.
He was now powerless to reverse the situation and could only watch helplessly as his soldiers fell one by one.
A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, but he remained steadfast in his post, striving for the last chance of survival for the retreating army.
Finally, as the last rays of the setting sun fell upon the battlefield, the remaining troops of the Great Xuan Dynasty, entangled with the rebel coalition and unable to retreat in time, completely collapsed.
They scattered like a tidal wave, pursued and killed by the soldiers of the anti-king coalition.
The entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a carnage, with corpses and blood everywhere.
Yang Lin stood on the battlefield, gazing at the battlefield ahead. He knew that they had lost this battle, and lost it very badly.
"Retreat! All troops retreat!"
Yang Lin said in a deep voice, his aged voice carrying a hint of bitterness and helplessness.
At the same time, not far away, Jiang Chen was engaged in a fierce battle with Wu Tiansheng. Each strike almost exhausted all his strength, but upon hearing the retreat horn, he did not hesitate at all.
"Hmph, Wu Tiansheng, today's battle is undecided, but the affairs of the state are of paramount importance. I will let you go for now and settle this once and for all!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the two moves clashed, Jiang Chen used the opponent's force against him, retreating rapidly while shouting loudly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Tiansheng's lips curled into a cold smile, and his seven-colored chaotic energy became even more violent, as if it wanted to devour the entire world.
"Want to leave? Jiang Chen, do you think this battlefield is a place you can come and go as you please?"
"If I don't make you pay today, will you ever remember my name, Wu Tiansheng!"
After saying that, Wu Tiansheng's figure flashed like a seven-colored meteor, and he approached Jiang Chen again. The Heaven-Opening Axe, with its earth-shattering power, went straight for Jiang Chen's vitals.
Jiang Chen felt a chill run down his spine, but he remained calm. The Blood Feast Spear of Ten Thousand Corpses danced in his hand, its tip tracing black and red lines, directly countering Wu Tiansheng's attack.
"Wu Tiansheng, the contest between us will not end here."
"But today, I have a more important task. Our battle can wait until the right time!"
While fending off Wu Tiansheng's fierce attacks, Jiang Chen searched for an opportunity to retreat.
After several rounds, Jiang Chen, relying on his superb martial arts skills and rich combat experience, finally managed to launch himself into the air and retreat swiftly like a ghostly wind after a clever exchange, taking advantage of a gap in Wu Tiansheng's offensive.
At the same time, the Bloodthirsty War Steed let out a deafening neigh, as if cheering on its master.
Seeing this, Wu Tiansheng's eyes flashed with regret, but he did not give chase. He simply stood there, watching Jiang Chen's figure gradually disappear into the distance, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"Jiang Chen, I look forward to the day we clash again. I hope you will be even stronger then."
Although Jiang Chen was slightly inferior in overall strength, and even during their battle, Jiang Chen was suppressed by Wu Tiansheng from beginning to end.
However, the gap between the two sides was not too wide. Jiang Chen could not defeat Wu Tiansheng, but if he wanted to leave the battlefield, Wu Tiansheng could not possibly keep a top-level war god with a base weapon level of 109 forever by himself.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Yun Renzhi, under the combined attack of Huang Mei and Xuan Ming, was struggling, but he was, after all, a top-tier Heavenly God General with a base weapon level of 108.
Faced with the two's offensive, Yun Renzhi, due to his lack of battlefield experience, did not fully unleash his strength, which led to him being suppressed by the two for a time.
However, Yun Renzhi, a Heavenly General with a base weapon level of 108, could normally suppress Huang Mei, a base weapon level of 107, and Xuan Ming, a base weapon level of 108, if he performs well.
Therefore, if Yun Renzhi wanted to leave the battlefield now, it would be even easier than for Jiang Chen before.
After a clever exchange, Yun Renzhi spotted a flaw in their attacks and his inner energy suddenly erupted. The pale blue energy surged like a river bursting its banks.
"Hmph, Huang Mei and Xuan Ming, even if you two traitors joined forces, you're nothing special!"
Yun Renzhi snorted coldly, his spear "Flying Sky" danced, and his sword "Falling Flowers" flashed. He single-handedly withstood the attacks of the two war gods and gradually turned the tide.
"You brat, don't get too cocky! I, Yellowbrow, haven't even used my full strength yet!"
Seeing this, Huang Mei's eyes flashed with anger. He roared and swung his spiked club even more fiercely, as if he wanted to smash the whole world to pieces.
Xuanming remained as aloof as ever, a cold smile playing on her lips. She wielded the Xuanming Frostthorn Dagger with even greater ferocity, its frost-like aura seemingly capable of freezing everything in its path.
However, at this critical moment, Yun Renzhi suddenly flashed away, like wisps of green smoke, and found a chance to escape from the two men's attack.
As he retreated, he sneered, "Hmph, I, Yun Renzhi, will remember today's battle. Next time, I'll have a proper contest with you all!"
Huang Mei and Xuan Ming were both stunned when they saw this, and then they were furious.
The fact that the two of them, working together, still managed to let Yun Renzhi escape is an insult to these two top-tier war gods.
"You brat, don't even think about escaping! I, Yellow Eyebrow, will smash you into mincemeat!"
Yellow Eyebrows roared and sprang into action, ready to give chase.
"There's no need to chase him. If he wants to escape, let him escape."
"We have achieved our objective in today's battle."
"The next time we meet will be the day Yun Renzhi is buried."
Xuanming snorted coldly and stopped him.
Although the two of them currently hold the advantage, it's not significant, and Yun Renzhi is gradually adapting to their offensive.
If they continue fighting, they won't gain anything.
Upon hearing this, Huang Mei, though unwilling, had no choice but to give up. He glared at the direction Yun Renzhi had fled, then turned his gaze away and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xuan Ming, continuing to engage in the battle.
Yun Renzhi, like a streak of blue lightning, swiftly traversed the battlefield and retreated towards the Great Xuan army's defensive line.
