Chapter 632 Perilous Situation
"Thunderous Annihilation - Slash!"
Lu Fa roared and swung out the Thunder Annihilation Sword in his hand. The sword light was as fast as lightning and collided with Yuan Hong's One Qi Water Fire Staff. Instantly, a dazzling light was released, as if two stars were colliding in the night sky, releasing destructive energy.
"Flying Immortal - Clouds Concealing Moonlight!"
Not to be outdone, Gong Xiaochuan flashed and transformed into a streak of pure white light. The Flying Immortal Spear drew a graceful arc in the air, and wherever the spear tip passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, leaving faint cracks.
The spears and clubs clashed again, and the shockwaves generated by the collision of their qi swept across the entire battlefield like a storm, making it difficult for the soldiers with lower cultivation levels to even stand.
Yuan Hong, Lu Fa, and Gong Xiaochuan, three top experts, engaged in an unprecedented fierce battle in the middle of the battlefield. Every attack seemed to contain the power to change the world, and every roar shook the heavens and earth.
Black and gold qi, pure white qi, and white-gray qi mixed with gold intertwined, forming a scene full of danger.
At this moment, Yuan Hong, relying on the powerful force of fighting against fate, actually managed to withstand the joint attack of Lu Fa and Gong Xiaochuan for a short time, and even had a chance to counterattack them.
However, in this state, his already limited physical strength and internal energy were rapidly depleting. Every time he swung the Qi Water Fire Staff, he could feel the loss of power within him.
He knew he couldn't continue like this; he had to find a way out.
Otherwise, even if one has the power to defy fate, it will be difficult to sustain the fight.
Therefore, Yuan Hong's offensive suddenly became fierce, and he attacked the two of them frantically, even exchanging blows with Gong Xiaochuan, who was already injured.
Her posture, as if she wanted to take Gong Xiaochuan with her, caused the two of them to suddenly loosen their previously intense offensive.
Even Lu Fa, who had been relentlessly attacking Yuan Hong, had to divert some of his attention to help Gong Xiaochuan fend off Yuan Hong's reckless offensive.
Therefore, under these circumstances, Yuan Hong quickly spotted a tiny flaw in Lu Fa and Gong Xiaochuan's attack, which was a manifestation of their incomplete coordination.
This secretly pleased Yuan Hong, who knew his chance had come. He took a deep breath and pushed the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts within his body to its limit once again. The One Qi Water-Fire Staff in his hand seemed to transform into a tornado, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, and rushed toward that opening.
"One Qi of Water and Fire - Breaking Army!"
Yuan Hong shouted loudly, and his staff flashed like a rainbow, piercing through the combined defense of Lu Fa and Gong Xiaochuan, and heading straight for their vital points.
This strike concentrated all of Yuan Hong's power in a short period of time, and it was also his most crucial strike in this battle.
Lu Fa and Gong Xiaochuan on the opposite side were also greatly surprised by this attack. They did not expect that Yuan Hong could find their weakness in such a short time and launch such a fierce attack.
The two hurriedly adjusted their positions and used their special skills to defend themselves, but even so, in front of Yuan Hong, whose martial arts level had now soared to 142, they were still shaken by this attack and were forced to retreat repeatedly, their breathing disordered.
On the battlefield, the situation is ever-changing, and victory or defeat often hinges on a single moment.
Although Yuan Hong's attack failed to defeat Lu Fa and Gong Xiaochuan in one fell swoop, it successfully broke the balance between the three and bought himself a precious breathing space.
Just as Yuan Hong was being besieged by Lu Fa and Gong Xiaochuan, facing imminent danger and seemingly teetering on the brink of life and death every moment.
In the rear, within the Red Imperial Army formation, the hearts of Yan Wang, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu were also taut to the extreme.
They were extremely anxious, fixated on the heart of the chaotic battle, but were helpless because they had no capable generals at their disposal.
Within the Crimson Imperial Army formation, banners fluttered in the wind, and although the soldiers were on high alert, they could not conceal the underlying restlessness and unease.
At this critical moment, the three men's gazes fell simultaneously on a general standing beside them, clad in fiery red armor with a stern face—Wei Linchao, and the renowned Daoist soldiers behind him—the Fire Kirin Guard!
Although Wei Linchao himself was no match for any of the three, if he led the Fire Scale Guards into battle, they would certainly be more capable of rescuing Yuan Hong.
There might even be a chance to completely keep the already injured Gong Xiaochuan.
The military formation mastered by the Fire Kirin Guard is called the "Kirin Burning Heaven Formation".
Once activated, the Fire Kirin Guards will stand in specific positions, guiding the blood energy of many Fire Kirin Guards and the baleful energy on the battlefield to converge, eventually transforming into a giant fire kirin at the center of the formation.
This fiery Qilin Dharma form not only possesses earth-shattering power, but can also flexibly launch attacks or defenses against enemies according to the battlefield situation.
At this moment, faced with Yuan Hong's perilous situation, Yan Wang, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, though each harboring their own schemes, had no choice but to temporarily set aside their differences and work together to find a solution.
"General Wei, Yuan Hong is a general of our army. He is currently surrounded. If we do not rescue him in time, his life may be in danger."
"Now, the only ones who can save General Yuan Hong are you and the Fire Scale Guards. They are our army's only hope at this moment."
Shi Fuchen, Wei Linchao's nominal lord, looked at Wei Linchao with a complicated expression, his tone carrying a hint of imperceptible pleading.
However, Wei Linchao remained expressionless. Although he and Shi Fuchen were nominally ruler and subject, they were actually at odds and wished for the other to step down immediately.
"General Wei should know that if Yuan Hong is lost, it will be a huge blow to the morale of our army."
"I hope that the general will prioritize the overall situation, lead the Fire Scale Guards to attack, and rescue Yuan Hong from this perilous situation."
Yuan Shao, standing to the side, appeared more composed, his gaze never leaving the center of the battlefield, as he slowly spoke, his words earnest.
"Wei Linchao, are you really going to just stand by and watch me die?"
"If anything happens to Yuan Hong, how can we possibly withstand Gong Xiaochuan and Lu Fa on the other side? Let's act quickly!"
In contrast, Yuan Shu appeared much more impatient; he was practically roaring.
Despite the three's urgent requests, Wei Linchao's expression remained cold and stern, a barely perceptible sneer flashing in his eyes.
He wasn't on the same page as Yuan Shao and his group; in fact, he secretly hoped that Yuan Hong would die here forever.
In the long run, Wei Linchao felt that if Yuan Hong really died, he would be left to face two formidable enemies, Lu Fa and Gong Xiaochuan, alone, and would be helpless.
Moreover, although the Fire Scale Guards are strong, it is nothing short of a pipe dream to say that they can influence this battle right under the noses of two top war gods, Gong Xiaochuan and Lu Fa.
Therefore, this attack may well be an excellent opportunity.
"Hmph, of course I understand that the bigger picture is more important."
"But in order to save Yuan Hong, the Fire Scale Guards will inevitably pay a heavy price. Have you considered this?"
"What if another Daoist army from the Great Qian invades, and the Fire Kirin Guard can't hold them off?"
Wei Linchao snorted coldly, his tone tinged with annoyance.
