Chapter 921: Chapter 522: The Fall of Sword Sect Pass! Wei Jinfeng’s Scheme!
The Sword Sect Pass’s defensive formation was already struggling to withstand the Northern Barbarians’ five hundred thousand strong army’s attack, and now it suddenly faced the onslaught of the Seal of National Destiny from the ancient Golden Lotus Royal Court.
In an instant, it reached its limit.
The surrounding mountains began to shake, as if they were about to collapse.
The Beiliang Army formation, integrated with the grand array, also suffered heavy damage, with tens of thousands simultaneously injured, causing the face of the Earth Camp’s main general to become deathly pale.
“Puff…”
He felt his chest churn with turbulence, unable to calm down, and immediately spat out a mouthful of old blood.
The breach of the Sword Sect Pass’s grand array also meant that the Beiliang Army was completely defeated, incapable of organizing effective defense.
Wei Wuque’s face was extremely grim, as if he already foresaw something.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan also understood the impossibility of success, furrowing his brows as he considered leaving.
Initially, he planned to let the Asura Demon Lord enter the stage, believing that the Beiliang Army within the Sword Sect Pass could hold off the Barbarians’ advance, and if he could block one person for Wei Jinfeng,
perhaps there might be a turnaround.
But now with the formation breached, even with the possession of Senior Moluo, there was no hope of holding off the enemy.
Senior Moluo’s injuries had not yet healed, relying entirely on the Golden Lotus for recovery, and regarding his combat strength, it was probably only equivalent to Wei Jinfeng’s.
Such strength could absolutely not suppress the fifty thousand Northern Barbarian army formation.
Unless Moluo was in full strength, only the methods of a Sixth Realm Immortal could prevail.
But Chen Yuan wouldn’t risk his life on a gamble.
Immediately he had thoughts of retreating.
In the void, Wanyan Tianba withdrew the Seal of National Destiny, holding it up, his gaze calm as he looked at Wei Jinfeng and said:
“Wei Jinfeng… you have lost.”
Wei Jinfeng’s gaze was steady, somewhat gloomy, as he turned to look at the Sword Sect Pass behind him, shouting sharply:
“Abandon the pass!!!”
“Abandon the pass? Hehe… Wei Jinfeng, do you think abandoning the pass will save your life?” Wanyan Tianba sneered coldly, seemingly already envisioning the complete annexation of Liangzhou.
This wasn’t impossible; with the Youzhou border breached, if the Sword Sect Pass were also breached now, the remnants of the Central Plains could only retreat to Liangzhou City.
And the remnants…
How could they withstand five hundred thousand troops?
It could be said that once the Sword Sect Pass was breached, this invasion of the grasslands had already completed its first phase.
It was only a matter of time before the whale swallowed the You and Liang states of the Central Plains.
Wei Jinfeng took a deep breath, speaking firmly towards the generals of the Earth, Water, and Wind Camps:
“Retreat quickly, I will stay to hold back the enemy!”
“No, Prince, you leave first. We’ll lead the Beiliang Army to hold them off for a moment longer. As long as you’re here, the Beiliang Army remains!” The Earth Camp’s main general Zhou Bo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke urgently.
“That’s right, Prince, you leave first, we’ll hold them off.”
“Prince, hurry and leave!”
The generals of several camps echoed, their eyes shimmering with determination.
“Father!!”
Wei Wuque gritted his teeth, a look of concern filling his eyes.
“Prince, we’re not leaving.”
“Prince, please go.”
“Prince, your strength is limitless, you have a chance to leave, don’t worry about us, we’ll cover the rear.”
Hearing Wei Jinfeng’s words, all the soldiers at Sword Sect Pass were moved, shouting for him to leave.
Chen Yuan squinted; his figure had retreated to behind the crowd.
The Primordial Spirit powerhouse entangled with him earlier had already distanced himself from the Sword Sect Pass when the Seal broke the formation.
“This is my military order, do you intend to defy it?”
Wei Jinfeng furrowed his brows, seeming somewhat angry.
Those who had advised him earlier fell silent, indicating the powerful influence and decisive ambiance Wei Jinfeng held within the Beiliang Army, though their eyes were filled with resolve.
“Leave? Wei Jinfeng, you are overly confident, do you consider the fifty thousand Iron Cavalry behind me to be an illusion? Today… no one at Sword Sect Pass will leave,
the Great Khan will slaughter two hundred thousand, using the blood of Central Plains Martial Artists to worship the Barbarian God!”
Wanyan Tianba spoke calmly.
But there was an undeniable tone in his words.
However, this was understandable.
He, the Great Khan of the noble Golden Lotus Royal Court, above all others, now commanding fifty thousand troops, with more than ten Yang Transformation experts, indeed had the confidence to say such words.
Wei Jinfeng smiled faintly, undeterred by the current situation, and said:
“I say we can leave, and we will.”
After speaking, he looked down sharply, speaking solemnly:
“My military command, full army retreat.”
“Go!!!”
Wei Jinfeng’s low shout instantly brought tears to the eyes of many Beiliang Army soldiers present, their gazes turning to the three major camp generals in the void, as if silently communicating something.
Zhou Bo’s face twisted, he gritted his teeth and bellowed:
“Retreat!!!”
As the generals of the three major camps gave the word, the soldiers of the Beiliang Army no longer dared to linger, despite their reluctant gazes, they adhered to the military order and began a full withdrawal.
Yet retreat meant defeat.
Chen Yuan looked at the one-armed Huangfu Qi and the severely injured Feng Jiuying, instructing:
“Heavenly Patrol Bureau, retreat!”
Having said so, he moved to leave without further word.
Only Wei Wuque seemed reluctant to go, calling out ‘Father King,’ but he was forcibly taken away by the hidden Yang Transformation True Master.
“Kill, leave no one alive!”
Wanyan Tianba coldly laughed, waved his hand, and the Northern Barbarian Army began their assault on the city.
Wei Jinfeng exhaled a long breath, and the Unrivaled Dharma Form manifested earlier stood tall in the sky above Sword Sect Pass, facing everyone, attempting to hold them all back single-handedly.
