Chapter 1927: Retreat
Although everything was beyond Xiao Cheng's expectations, Xiao Cheng quickly understood.
The God of Nirvana was an immortal-level killing weapon in the ancient times. Although it was damaged and not as powerful as that of the past, it still had the spirit of the immortal-level killing weapon. Although the Spirit Demon Bow was a ninth-grade spiritual weapon and slightly less powerful than the Imperial-grade spiritual weapon, it was only a ninth-grade spiritual weapon. This was an absolute level suppression, just like a show of a sect. It seemed unexpected, but it was actually reasonable.
The arrow failed to work and had missed the best opportunity. In the blink of an eye, the formation returned to its original state. The formation opened from the inside blocked Xiao Cheng out. The sky smiled proudly in the formation, but Xiao Cheng couldn't do anything about it.
At this time, the other three flying ships rushed over, forming a triangular square formation, protecting the flagship in the middle. Dozens of the Fangtian Sect's lords had also arrived and formed a siege against Xiao Cheng, and Xiao Cheng was surrounded by the group of lords.
The battle continued, with the battle formations attacking each other. The formations formed by the Jiuzhou Group Master blocked countless attacks in the Fangtian Sect's battle formation, but there were still casualties. The two sides were stalemate and it was difficult to decide the winner in a short period of time.
Xiao Cheng glanced around, and knew very well that the current situation was going on. If he continued to stalemate, it would be extremely unfavorable to him and the Dao Alliance.
He has been hit by two arrows. If he is not healed in time, his injuries will definitely become more serious and his strength will be affected even more. Venerable Chengtian has the divine crossbow in his hand and may shoot and kill Venerable Jiuzhou at any time. It is hard to guard against it. He cannot keep using his body to block arrows. Using his body as an arrow or a living target is too stupid.
Once he does not block the crossbow arrows of the Nirvana God's Crossbow head-on, the Mahayana Venerable among the Jiuzhou Group of Venerables will be killed. The power of the Venerable is weakened and the defense of the formation is reduced. He cannot stop the Fang Tian Sect's attacks in turn, causing a chain reaction, and eventually resulting in the defeat of the war and heavy casualties.
What's more, he felt that Fang Tian Sect should have greater plans. If the injury is too severe and the combat power is damaged, then what will he use to deal with Fang Tian Sect's next plan? He will fall into absolute passiveness and be led by the Fang Tian Sect, and the losses will be even greater.
If he continues to fight, the losses will only become heavier and he will be unable to eliminate the Venerable Chengtian. In this case, there is no second choice... Xiao Cheng considered all kinds of things, and after he was stunned, he immediately sent a message to order: "The entire army will withdraw to the Ruins City, and all the venerables will cut off the rear..."
It took a lot of effort to break the siege of Fang Tian Sect, but now he is going to withdraw back to Ruocheng, which will inevitably put Ruocheng in siege again. Although he is extremely unwilling, he has no other way and has no choice but to act helplessly.
At Xiao Cheng's order, the people had no objection. Xiao Cheng could think of some of them. If they continued to fight, it would only cause heavy losses to their side. Xiao Cheng's decision was fine, so he quickly organized a large army to retreat.
Although the more than 700,000 troops came from various sects, they obeyed Xiao Cheng's orders and implemented them without reservation.
More than 700,000 troops retreated from the middle to the Xucheng, and the group of lords supported the formation to block the attack of the Fangtian Sect's battle formation. The army in the Xucheng responded, and a portal appeared in the formation... The retreat was orderly, and the Fangtian Sect could not stop it.
When the Emperor Chengtian saw the withdrawal of the Dao Alliance, he felt relieved and took a long breath. This was exactly the result he hoped to see.
However, he hated Xiao Cheng to the core. Xiao Cheng killed countless people in one battle, destroyed a flying ship, and scared him to the point of being invisible. How could Xiao Cheng retreat calmly? He raised the divine crossbow of the Silence and locked Xiao Cheng again.
While Xiao Cheng ordered his retreat, he also flew to the Ruins City faster. Although dozens of venerables of Fang Tian Sect had become siege, when he saw him leave, no one dared to stop him, and even took the initiative to make way for Xiao Cheng to stop him, they had not survived enough.
Xiao Cheng had just flew away from dozens of venerables and realized that he was locked by the crossbow of the Silence God. He was so angry that he could not even hide this thing once locked him. Even if his body was strong, he could not withstand such an attack.
"Mom!" Xiao Cheng swears in anger, but he is extremely helpless and has to stop and deal with it with all his strength.
A black light burst out and headed straight for Xiao Cheng's chest. It arrived in an instant. Xiao Cheng quickly rose up and avoided the position of his chest. The arrow shot hard on his thigh, and a blood hole as big as a fist appeared on his thigh. The strong pain made Xiao Cheng tense all over his body, the power of Tao entered his body, the true energy became more disordered, and a feeling of power was felt all over his body.
After Xiao Cheng endured an arrow, he did not stop and continued to fly to the ruins.
When Master Chengtian saw Xiao Cheng flying towards the Ruins without looking back, he was so happy that Xiao Cheng was forced to retreat.
"Xiao Cheng, you are the marshal of the Dao Alliance. Did you just run away in shame? It is rumored all over the world that you are invincible and never retreat. Now it seems like a joke, hahaha... you are as timid as a mouse, afraid of death, but that's it!" The Venerable Chengtian laughed at her heart, as if she wanted to get back all the fright and face she had suffered before.
Chengtian mocked Xiao Cheng in front of countless cultivators, which was indeed very hurtful to Xiao Cheng's face. Xiao Cheng was not inspired by his words and sneered coldly: "Oh? Is it a joke? It seems that your Fangtian Sect is a complete victory. Don't forget that your Fangtian Sect has more than one million troops died without a complete corpse. Don't forget that at least a dozen venerables of your Fangtian Sect have died under my sword...
You will just hide in the flying ship and shoot cold arrows, timidly shooting me a few arrows, thinking you are so capable? What qualifications do you have to laugh at others? Okay, if you don’t leave, you come out, fight with me alone, you come out!
If you don’t have the courage to come out for a battle, you will still make a big fuss. As for the young master, you are the biggest joke! Well, I know you don’t dare to come out. In this way, if you come out and bring all the venerables together, I will fight you one by one, one sword and one hand, and dare to come out for a battle?"
Venerable Chengtian was speechless and could not speak for a moment, his face turned red. Everything Xiao Cheng said was true, and he could not refute it at all. As for Xiao Cheng calling him to fight, or even fighting them one by one, he really didn't dare to fight. Xiao Cheng's lineup of venerables was stronger than his side, so he was unwilling to take risks.
The practitioners of the Fangtian Sect were quiet and felt their faces were dull. The venerables looked at Xiao Cheng and then at Venerable Chengtian. They really didn't want Venerable Chengtian to speak again, for fear that Venerable Chengtian would completely anger Xiao Cheng. If Xiao Cheng really got angry with the big monster of the living king of hell, they might have some amazing means.
The Venerable Chengtian said nothing for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Let me see how long you can be arrogant!"
"Bah!" Xiao Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood foam with contempt. He was too lazy to look at the Venerable Chengtian and said coldly: "I will remember these arrows from Master, please clean your neck. When I am in a bad mood one day, I will be happy to cut off your head!"
Xiao Cheng said, too lazy to continue to entangle, so he jumped to the Ruins City. The Venerable Chengtian was so angry that he was angry, regardless of his demeanor, and seized the opportunity to lift the divine crossbow and shoot Xiao Cheng again. This time, Xiao Cheng did not turn around, but avoided the fatal position and took a blow on his left shoulder.
He wrote down this account. As long as he had the chance, he would definitely poke this old man into a hornet's nest.
