Chapter 635 The Tragedy of the Fire Kirin Guard!
"Thunderous Eight Desolations Formation, Heavenly Thunder Strikes!"
Nangong Tianxia's voice rang out again, deafening like thunder.
At his command, the blood energy of the Thunder Dragon Riders behind him began to surge rapidly, and the Thunder Spears in their hands began to flash with dazzling energy. Each swing was accompanied by deafening thunder, as if it could tear space apart.
The qi swirled and converged in the air, eventually enveloping the spears in their hands. Following the charge of the numerous Thunder Dragon Riders, it transformed into thick pillars of lightning, striking directly at the Fire Scale Guards' position.
The Fire Scale Guard's formation began to crumble under the fierce attack of the Thunder Dragon Riders, and the soldiers scattered in all directions, trying to avoid the rain of lightning spears.
However, the Thunder Dragon Riders, who were charging forward with heavy footsteps, locked onto them tightly. Each strike was accompanied by a deafening roar, shattering the Fire Scale Guard soldiers into pieces.
"General Wei, retreat immediately!"
Shi Fuchen, seeing this from a distance, was greatly alarmed and immediately shouted.
If the only Daoist army of Yanzhou and the Crimson Imperial Army were to perish here, how could they possibly continue fighting?
However, Wei Linchao seemed not to hear him. He gripped the Qilin Burning Heaven Halberd tightly, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Nangong Tianxia as if he wanted to devour him alive.
"Fire Scale Guards, all retreat! The vanguard will cover the rear!"
Wei Linchao suddenly shouted loudly, his roar echoing across the battlefield. As if forgetting his own pain and exhaustion, he once again wielded the Qilin Burning Sky Halberd and led the remaining Fire Qilin Guards around him in a charge against the Thunder Swamp Dragon Riders.
"Retreat! Retreat now!"
Wei Linchao's voice was already hoarse, but he still shouted with all his might, hoping that every Fire Scale Guard could hear his command and escape this land of death.
He knew that the Fire Scale Guard had been defeated, but at least... they couldn't all die here!
On the battlefield, many soldiers maintaining the "Qilin Burning Heaven Formation" Fire Qilin Guard began to retreat in panic, some on horseback, some on foot, and some supporting each other, trying to find a glimmer of hope under the iron hooves of the Thunder Dragon Riders.
However, the speed and strength of the Razer Dragon Riders were too great, like an unstoppable whirlwind, leaving devastation in their wake.
Only a few remaining Fire Scale Guards remained around Wei Linchao, gripping their weapons tightly, knowing that they were doomed.
"General, we'll cover the rear!"
A burly Fire Scale Guardian stood beside Wei Linchao, his face covered in blood, but his eyes were fixed on the Thunder Swamp Dragon Riders that were rushing towards them like a mountain and a sea.
"good!"
Wei Linchao nodded, gripping the Qilin Burning Heaven Halberd tightly in his hand, as if he wanted to concentrate all his power into this weapon.
He had already roughly figured it out; this was clearly a trap set for him, the Fire Scale Guards, and Yuan Hongbu. He estimated that he wouldn't be able to return alive from this battle.
The opposing Great Qian army had painstakingly brought in Lu Fa and Nangong Tianxia, two of the world's top war gods, as well as the few Dao soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty - the Thunder Dragon Riders.
After spending so much time and effort to meticulously plan this scheme, the Crimson Imperial Army thinks they can just retreat safely without leaving anything behind? It's not that easy!
On this battlefield now, either Yuan Hong stays, or he and the Fire Scale Guard stay!
Clearly, given the threat posed by the Fire Scale Guards, the opposing Great Qian chose to let Yuan Hong, a top-tier war god, go.
Instead, he sent Nangong Tianxia with the Thunder Dragon Riders to specifically target Wei Linchao and the Fire Lin Guard.
With a calculated move against Yuan Hong, Wei Linchao and the Fire Kirin Guard, who originally thought it was just an ordinary rescue, brilliantly shielded Yuan Hong from disaster!
The thunderous hoofbeats of the Thunder Dragon Riders grew ever closer, like a herd of wild horses galloping with destructive power.
Wei Linchao and the remaining Fire Scale Guards gripped their weapons tightly. Like a swarm of moths, they knew that raging flames lay ahead, yet they still rushed forward without hesitation.
"kill!"
Wei Linchao shouted loudly, brandishing the Qilin Burning Sky Halberd, and led the charge towards the Thunder Swamp Dragon Riders.
The remaining Fire Scale Guards followed closely behind, clad in crimson Qilin armor, wielding swords, shooting arrows, or throwing spears, attempting to halt the Thunder Dragon Riders' charge.
However, the Razer Dragon Riders were too powerful; their iron hooves were like heavy hammers, each stomp accompanied by a thunderous sound.
The soldiers of the Fire Scale Guard were trampled into a bloody pulp or pierced through the body by lightning spears. Their screams and the neighing of horses mingled together, creating a gruesome scene.
Wei Linchao brandished the Qilin Burning Heaven Halberd, charging towards Nangong Tianxia like an enraged lion.
However, as a Heavenly General with a base level of 109, Nangong Tianxia's strength was too great. To Wei Linchao, the Heaven-Splitting God-Slaying Spear in his hand was like a real heavenly punishment spear, with each swing accompanied by earth-shattering power.
"You mere ants dare to defy this general!"
Nangong Tianxia snorted coldly and swung the Heaven-Splitting God-Slaying Spear in his hand again, aiming straight for Wei Linchao's vitals.
Wei Linchao tried his best to resist, but the power of the Heaven-Splitting God-Slaying Spear was too great, and the Qilin Burning Heaven Halberd in his hand was shaken and slightly slipped out of his grasp.
"Pfft!"
With a soft sound, the Heaven-Splitting God-Slaying Spear pierced through Wei Linchao's armor, leaving a deep wound on his chest.
Blood gushed out, staining the armor and the battlefield crimson.
"General!"
Upon seeing this, the remaining Fire Scale Guards cried out in alarm and tried to rush to their aid, but were blocked by the iron hooves of the Thunder Dragon Riders.
He could only watch helplessly as Wei Linchao fell into a pool of blood, his heart filled with endless grief and anger.
Wei Linchao lay on the ground, his eyes still wide open, as if trying to see the world clearly.
He gripped the Qilin Burning Heaven Halberd tightly, as if he wanted to concentrate all his power into this weapon.
However, his life was gradually slipping away, and his strength was gradually dissipating.
"Why...why did this happen..."
Wei Linchao murmured to himself in a low voice, which was weak and hoarse, as if it could be dissipated by a gust of wind.
He knew he was powerless to change the situation, but he was still unwilling to die like this.
He also wanted to rescue the eldest prince and help him regain the throne of the Flame King; he also wanted to help the eldest prince conquer all directions, with none daring to disobey; he also wanted...
It's just a pity... there will never be another chance.
Wei Linchao's vision gradually blurred. He was dead. What would become of the eldest son, who was far away in Yanwang City?
The Yuan family are wolves and jackals!
"Your Majesty, I have done my best..."
That brat Shi Fuchen is plotting with a tiger; he'll die at the hands of the Yuan family sooner or later.
But all of this... has nothing to do with him anymore.
Nangong Tianxia rode his warhorse, Poxiao Zhuying, slowly to Wei Linchao's side. Looking down at his brother who had once fought alongside him, a complex expression flashed in his eyes.
He won this battle, but he was also about to lose a former friend forever.
As one of the few Daoist soldiers in the Great Qian Dynasty, the two of them were naturally old acquaintances and had even fought side by side more than once.
It's a pity that, as subjects of different masters, they ultimately ended up fighting each other.
