" Jiang Lan's troops, retreat!"

Seeing that even his ancestor had fled, Jiang Kechang dared not linger in the fight. He shouted and quickly led his men to escape.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Instead of chasing after Jiang Siqian, Chen Duo flew downwards and rushed towards Jiang Kechang.

The Five Elements Army's purpose in this sneak attack was to intimidate other advanced tribes, not just to kill the people of the Jianglan Tribe.

The most effective way to intimidate other advanced tribes is to kill the current leader of the Jianglan Tribe.

Clang! Boom!

Chen Duo took out the Dharma-Breaking Staff and swung it like a tiger unleashed from its cage, unstoppable. Although Jiang Kechang had many guards around him fighting desperately, it was all in vain.

After Chen Duo rushed in front of Jiang Kechang, she swung her stick down on his head.

when...!

Jiang Kechang unleashed his Spiritual Power, raised his weapon, and used all his strength to defend himself. He felt a numbness in his hands, and his calves were actually driven into the ground by the blow.

"Again!!"

Chen Duo laughed heartily, swung her baguette, and brought it down on Chen Duo's head again.

Jiang Kechang was furious but helpless. He roared and was about to fight to the death.

Just then, a pale golden light shone from afar and arrived in front of Chen Duo in an instant.

"So fast!"

Despite her surprise, Chen Duo remained calm and instinctively went to defense.

" The Immovable Wisdom King Golden Body Shield!"

A loud bang!!

Chen Duo was thrown upwards by the blow and then fell to the ground.

"Lord Chen Duo!"

Chen Rufeng was shocked and, disregarding the pursuit of the remaining Jianglan Army, immediately led the Five Elements Army to charge towards Chen Duo.

"Five Elements, follow me!"

The Five Elements Army was well-trained and reacted extremely quickly, rushing to Chen Duo's side in no time and protecting her.

Whoosh!

Another pale golden light flew over. This time, Chen Rufeng saw it clearly: it was a golden arrow.

"Five Elements Cycle, Defensive Shield!"

This time, the Five Elements Ring pattern did not appear above the Five Elements Army, but instead concentrated in Chen Rufeng's hand. He gathered the power of the Five Elements Battle Formation together and fiercely met the golden arrow.

Boom!

After a loud bang, Chen Rufeng took a step back, his hands trembling slightly, his eyes fixed on the direction from which the arrow had come.

"Who are you, you cowardly rat? Do you dare to come out and fight my Five Elements Army?"

As soon as Chen Rufeng finished speaking, a figure soared into the sky, surrounded by surging Spiritual Power of heaven and earth, arriving at the front of the Five Elements Army formation like a god descending to earth.

"Elder Jiang Ji! Elder Jiang Ji is back!"

The people of the Jianglan Tribe were overjoyed to see the man in the sky.

Jiang Kechang quickly led his men toward Jiang Ji, while Jianglan Army had been killed or wounded by more than half, also gathered behind Jiang Kechang, led by the Jianglan Army leader.

Jiang Siqian, who had originally fled, turned back and respectfully flew to Jiang Ji's side.

"The Battle Formation Legion is indeed extraordinary!"

Jiang Ji coldly stared at the Five Elements Army before him, as if scrutinizing his prey.

"Surrender! Otherwise, die!"

As expected of a cultivator in the Mid Core Formation Realm, Jiang Ji alone caused enough fluctuations in the Spiritual Power of heaven and earth to put pressure on the nearly one thousand members of the Five Elements Army.

"If you want war, then let's fight! Come at me!"

Chen Rufeng's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected the Shadow Guards to make such a huge mistake. With Jiang Ji here, it would be very difficult for the Five Elements Army to escape this time.

However, the Five Elements Army has no weaklings. Although they suffered casualties in their recent battle with the Jianglan Army, they are still in peak condition and have the strength to fight again.

"Fine! You want to die? I'll grant your wish."

Jiang Ji raised one hand, ready to launch an attack on the Five Elements Army.

"Ouch... that hurts!"

Just then, Chen Duo suddenly flew up from the center of the Five Elements Army, letting out a discordant muttering sound.

"You're not dead yet?"

Jiang Ji's pupils contracted, and he stopped, clearly shocked that Chen Duo had survived.

The golden arrow he just used was no ordinary arrow; it was a consumable magical artifact he had consecrated using secret techniques: the Setting Sun Divine Arrow.

The Setting Sun Divine Arrow is extremely precious. It usually takes Jiang Ji more than ten days to make one, and it also consumes a lot of precious materials. He is reluctant to use it unless there are special circumstances.

With his current level of cultivation, if he were to launch a sneak attack using the Setting Sun Divine Arrow, Mid Core Formation Realm cultivator would be severely injured.

He never imagined that Chen Duo, who hadn't even reached the Core Formation Realm, could actually block his ' Setting Sun Divine Arrow '.

These people must not be allowed to live!

He now finally understood why Lord Xing Le was so certain that if they didn't intervene, Chen Village would definitely dominate the Wilderness.

Chen Village's current strength is secondary; what's important is their potential. Last time, it was one thing for Chen Mu and Mingye to be able to block his Setting Sun Divine Arrow, but now they can even block it from an unknown Chen Duo.

When did cross-border warfare become so easy?

After thinking it through, Jiang Ji no longer hesitated and reached out to slap Chen Duo.

" Great Destruction Palm!"

The Destruction Divine Art is a Martial Dao manual passed down by the founder of the Jianglan Tribe. Most people in the Jiang Ji have practiced it. It was unable to defeat Chen Duo in Jiang Siqian's hands just now, but it is now much more powerful in Jiang Ji's hands.

" Five Elements Army, listen to my command! Retreat towards the river! I will hold off Jiang Ji."

Chen Duo was indeed injured after being hit by the Setting Sun Divine Arrow, but Chen Mu had left him a protective magic artifact, so his injuries were not serious.

She also knew that Jiang Ji, and the current situation was very unfavorable for the Five Elements Army. There would be no benefit in continuing the fight, so she issued an order to retreat.

The Five Elements Army has the ability to dive underwater, which other armies do not. If they can hold off Jiang Ji, the Five Elements Army has a high probability of escaping.

" Wisdom King Possession, Undefeated Golden Body!"

Chen Duo's hands formed a mudra, her expression dignified. Behind her, a phantom image of a Buddha appeared, its eyes showing both compassion and anger.

Instead of retreating, Chen Duo advanced, throwing a punch at Jiang Ji's palm.

With a loud boom, Chen Duo, possessed by the Wisdom King Possession, greatly increased her defensive capabilities, and Jiang Ji was unable to do anything to her for the time being.

Chen Rufeng looked up at Chen Duo, a hint of resentment in his eyes.

He didn't want Chen Duo to risk her life alone, but military orders were absolute, and Chen Duo was the highest leader of this operation; he had to obey Chen Duo's orders.

"Walk!"

Having no other choice, Chen Rufeng led the Five Elements Army, transforming into an arrow, and fled swiftly.

"Chase them! Don't let them get away!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Kechang immediately dispatched his Jianglan Army, to intercept them.

"No need! Kechang, have them come back."

While enduring Chen Duo's attacks, Jiang Ji managed to stop Jiang Kechang and the others, clearly still having some strength left.

"Elder Jiang Ji, why is this?"

Jiang Kechang asked in confusion.

Don't worry, you'll understand soon.

Jiang Ji wore a smile, as if he had everything under control.

Sure enough, not long after, three well-equipped armies rushed in from three nearby directions, blocking all of the Five Elements Army's retreat routes.
