A rare opportunity

Chapter 787 Hell on Earth

"Let's go together!"

Namu Chengqi was naturally determined and led Hua Zirong and others to rush into the battlefield quickly.

In an instant, the enemy and us engaged in a melee. However, although Li Yu and others seemed to be desperately fleeing, they were actually staying together, somewhat close yet not quite.

Hong Shouen, who had been somewhat cautious, was in high spirits when he saw that the enemy had fully deployed all its high-end combat power and was still unable to withstand his fierce attack. He felt a sense of triumph and satisfaction! Once a person gets a little complacent, his vigilance will be lowered.

Seeing victory in sight, Li Yu and his companions couldn't make a big splash. Even if the enemy possessed terrifying spiritual cannons, they were now in a chaotic battle. As the saying goes, "a rat should be killed with a single weapon." They wouldn't even bomb their own men, would they? If they could kill Li Yu or seriously injure him, it would be worth it! After all, compared to capturing Li Yu, a few casualties were nothing.

Now he was worried that Li Yu would escape! Although he didn't think Li Yu was as formidable as Duan Kaishan and the others said, his combat power was indeed not to be underestimated! If he was determined to escape, his current arrangements might not be able to stop him! To stop him, he had to be surrounded by heavy forces, making it difficult for him to move, and even exhausting him to death!

Seeing Li Yu leading his men running around, seemingly searching for a way to escape. As for the news from the cliff, it was already insignificant! Just a few small shrimps escaped, there would be plenty of time to deal with them later! The most important thing now was to catch the big fish, Li Yu! Hong Shouen acted decisively, waved his hand, and shouted:

"Press forward on all fronts! Trap the demon Li Yu and his followers! Wipe out the demon clan that aided and abetted the evil!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators from the Xianxia Sect who were restrained by him were all ecstatic and immediately cheered loudly!

You have to know that although Hong Shouen is arrogant, he is not stupid! In the previous siege against Li Yu and others, he only sent a few masters from the Xianxia Sect to assist. The rest of the people were mostly disciples from other sects and families.

Although he didn't want to believe that Li Yu was truly that terrifying, he also didn't want his own disciples to take risks! Thus, the disciples of the aristocratic clans became his touchstones. To put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder!

Now, these touchstones, cannon fodder or not. Although they suffered heavy losses, they truly tested Li Yu's strength! Now is the time to reap the rewards, and the credit should naturally belong to our own people!

In an instant, not only did the masters in the air rush towards Li Yu and the others like a flood. The monks on the ground also shouted and screamed all the way, heading straight for the city wall!

When Li Yu saw this, he made a desperate escape gesture and quickly approached the city wall!

Seeing that most of the enemies chasing him in the air had already entered the range of the spiritual cannon, Li Yu immediately shouted:

"Come closer to me!"

Everyone was in sync. Upon hearing the sound, they all quickly moved towards Li Yu!

Seeing that all his people had gathered around him, Li Yu had no more worries and immediately used his Sun True Fire again!

Although the killing power of the Sun's True Fire was too great, he had no choice but to use it! After all, there was no point in reasoning with the Xianxia Sect now, and the only option was to stop the killing with killing!

In an instant, sparks floated like a rain of flowers towards the enemy who had surrounded Li Yu and others!

The cultivators who had witnessed Li Yu's True Sun Fire were terrified and desperately tried to avoid the sparks. However, there were too many eager to achieve merit, and the crowd was so crowded that there was no place to hide! As a result, the True Sun Fire quickly spread through the crowd!

Instantly, a wall of fire rapidly extended outward, and one by one, the onyx figures screamed and fell to the ground! At the same time, the spiritual cannons on the ground also spewed out tongues of fire, smashing shells one after another into the dense crowd in the air!

Those once-dominant heroes, those seemingly righteous senior masters, instantly fell into panic! They all fled desperately, wailing loudly, regardless of their image! Some even swung their butcher knives at their companions in order to gain more space to hide!

The entire sky was like hell on earth! Flames shot up into the sky, and cannons roared! The sky was filled with falling corpses, and the air was filled with the unpleasant smell of burning, mixed with the smell of blood!

The scene before him made Hong Shouen's eyes blaze with anger! He shouted at everyone to retreat. He shouted until his mouth was dry, but it was of little use! Because, amid the rumbling of artillery and the miserable howling, his shouts were like the buzzing of mosquitoes, and few people heard him. Even if someone did hear, the chaotic situation made retreat impossible!

The sun's true fire penetrated the human body and spread rapidly outward. The spiritual cannons on the ground didn't even need to aim, they could harvest lives one after another! Even Li Yu and the others felt sorry for the bodies falling like raindrops!

But the reality is cruel! These people are coming for them. If they don't kill, they will be in danger of being killed! In order to protect themselves, in order to avoid being killed, they can only fight violence with violence!

Seeing the tragic scene in the sky, the armies on the ground were terrified! The timid ones were so frightened that their faces turned pale, trembling, and pissing themselves in fear! Even if there was no killing on the ground, they dared not move forward! They stood there in a daze, as if they had been cast under a spell of immobilization! Their eyes were confused and they saw nothing!

How could Yin Zijuan, who was in charge of the ground operations, miss such a good opportunity? She immediately opened the city gates and led a group of monsters to charge in!

Those monks were already terrified by the carnage in the air! How could they possibly withstand the onslaught of such spirited monsters? The moment they made contact, they were completely routed! They all fled in panic, countless of them slaughtering each other!

Watching the scene before him, Hong Shouen was filled with grief and indignation! His rage was so intense that he suddenly felt a salty sensation in his throat. With a thud, a mouthful of black blood spurted out! He felt his head spin, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he finally fell headfirst! Fortunately, the guards beside him were quick to act and reached out to hold him, preventing him from falling to the ground!

The already chaotic team, now without the command of their leader, was in even greater disarray! Everyone was running around aimlessly and disorganized like headless flies! From heaven to earth, there were the howling of ghosts and wolves!

When Duan Kaishan arrived in a rage, this was the situation he faced.

When he learned that Hong Shouen had disobeyed orders and pursued without authorization, he couldn't help but want to slam the table and curse! But after all, Hong Shouen held almost half of the Xianxia Sect's elite troops in his hands. If something unexpected happened, the damage would be incalculable! This might damage the Xianxia Sect's foundation and very likely cause it to drop from the ranks of first-class sects! He immediately mobilized all his troops and went to reinforce.

Looking at the unconscious Hong Shouen in front of him, he wanted to reach out and strangle him to death! However, no matter how angry he was, this chaotic situation must be stopped!

He immediately ordered the monks who had followed him to disperse and convey his orders! Given the current situation, if no one could contain Li Yu's Sun Fire, no matter how many more people went up, it would be useless! The most urgent task was to ensure the orderly retreat of the survivors on the battlefield! Only in this way could more people escape the battlefield and survive!

An orderly retreat required organization. The battlefield was already in chaos, with most people fleeing alone like frightened birds. Only a few groups managed to organize themselves, but these were limited to small groups of three or five, based on families or sects. Even so, they were caught in a chaotic formation, constantly under attack from the fleeing monks, and in danger of being dispersed at any moment!

The people sent by Duan Kaishan all received orders from Duan Kaishan not to rush into the battlefield, but to quickly gather the defeated remnants of the army, let them settle down quickly, and retreat in an orderly manner!

Regardless, those cultivators were battle-hardened warriors. To have reached the Saint level in the brutal world of cultivation was unmatched by ordinary people! The chaos arose, firstly, due to a lack of effective organization. Secondly, it was also due to the suddenness of the situation, leaving them at a loss as to what to do. Now that they had a core group, they quickly settled down.
