After the Mysterious Wasteland Demon-Breaking Army struck, the Chenglong Demon-Slaying Army, led by Feng Tianxing, also began scything down every demon-armored soldier who had failed to rejoin the battle formation in time.
For a time, after the two armies' brief clash, the battle began to turn into a rout.
But what excited Huo Xuan was that those falling now were not the Human Race Army, but the Nine Abysses Northern Emperor Army.
"Zhenyue! Retreat! Fall back!"
Seeing that this defending Nine Abysses Northern Emperor Army was about to collapse, the Demonic General Chijia suddenly shouted from the central battle formation.
In truth, his situation was little better than Zhenyue's.
The Sword Cultivator battle formation of the Zhenwu Demon-Slaying Army possessed far greater killing power than the other armies. Even the central army's elites surrounding Chijia struggled to withstand it.
"Retreat...!"
Though the Demonic General Zhenyue was deeply unwilling, the battle left him no room to hesitate.
And so this Nine Abysses Demonic Army, led by Chijia and Zhenyue, began pulling its formation back.
Boom! Boom, boom...!
The Demon-Slaying Army naturally would not let them retreat so easily. This time, however, the Demonic General Chijia charged out of the central army, bearing Nine Infants' Battle Intent, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the Demonic General Zhenyue to resist the Demon-Slaying Army's assault, which surged like a mighty river.
In the end, after losing nearly fifty thousand demon-armored soldiers, this Nine Abysses Northern Emperor Army successfully withdrew to the second position before Northern Emperor City.
This also happened to be the farthest point covered by Northern Emperor City's defensive works.
Boom...!
At almost the same moment, a barrier resembling a black curtain blocked the front of this Nine Abysses Northern Emperor Army.
Bang! Bang, bang!
No matter how ferocious Yang Hong's Blade
