The moment Ouyang Yong appeared, Tai Yin knew that every strategic objective he had set at Ford Mountain could be declared a failure!
Defeating Xie Baoshu was, of course, utterly impossible now.
He was confident he could keep the army under control, fighting and retreating beneath Xie Baoshu's pursuit, preserving his forces as he withdrew to Wuyang City. When it came to clashes between military formations, he could certainly teach Xie Baoshu a proper lesson.
But with a Divine Presence Realm Ouyang Yong added to the other side...
Forget withdrawing to Wuyang City—even if he abandoned everything and fled with his troops at once, giving up all their arrangements in Huiming Prefecture, he might not be able to take many men away!
Military formations naturally possessed power that could cross the boundaries of cultivation realms. But when the formation's strength was already at a disadvantage, a freely moving Divine Presence powerhouse could easily tear the battle lines apart.
The situation could not possibly have been worse!
Of course, no matter how the battle developed, unless a Current Era True Lord appeared, he had the Azure Underworld Teleportation Disk and could guarantee his own survival.
But the problem was...
If he left, it would be tantamount to handing over all their arrangements in Huiming Prefecture.
The army before them would surely have time to reinforce the Min West Corridor.
Chongxuan Sheng and Jiang Wang, in whom they had placed such heavy stakes and whom they had sought to kill, would very likely escape alive because of this!
Tai Yin had experienced Jiang Wang's tenacity firsthand. He could not forget the scene on Volcano Island in the Mountain and Sea Realm, when Jiang Wang had charged at him with the World-Covering Halberd piercing through his body, savage beyond measure.
