Chapter 1765 — Severing Love, Ending Hatred
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 5
" The Western Emperor White Tiger had just spoken these words when the Dragon Qilin, decisive in the moment, immediately stirred his divine arts and slew her primal spirit, shattering it into the three souls of heaven, earth, and god, lest the Dao-wounds left by Haotian's divine arts destroy her primal spirit.
The Dragon Qilin rose to his feet, cut off the Western Emperor's head, and carrying the Western Emperor's head, leaped onto the back of the Void Mother-Beast and vanished in a flash. He came among the beast-realm army, transformed into his true form of Dragon Qilin, and roared at the heavens, his voice spreading through the entire beast-realm army, ordering the beast-realm army to contract and open a corridor to let the routed Heavenly Court army pass. If they trapped the Heavenly Court army at this moment, it would surely be a case of a cornered beast; the Heavenly Court army would turn and fight back, and whether friend or foe, it would devolve into a battle to the death!
Then, the Heavenly Court's collapsed morale would rise higher and higher with the death-struggle and despair.
Whereas letting them have a path of escape would instead make the Heavenly Court's officers and soldiers' morale sink even lower! Surround on three sides, leave one open—this is the way of war. The Dragon Qilin controlled the beast-realm army, striking continuously at the Heavenly Court's flanks, encircling and annihilating those officers and soldiers who fell behind, expanding the fruits of victory.
At the same time, in the sky, the Jing Ping army led by Jiang Baigui attacked from above, first dropping a rain of swords to throw the chaotic army into greater chaos, then cutting in from the tail of the Heavenly Court's fleeing troops. The army led by Jiang Baigui was like a centipede's pincers, opening and closing, and with one snap it cut off more than a hundred thousand troops from the tail of the fleeing soldiers, encircled them, and launched a war of annihilation.
And Jiang Baigui stood in the air, gazing afar at the beast-realm army.
He saw that though the beast realm was all ancient titanic beasts, their formations were stern and orderly, like ramparts, and he could not help but praise, "Dragon Mountain Loose Cultivator has the talent of a Heavenly Master!
The deployment of formations has not the slightest flaw. " The two armies continued to nibble away, pursuing the routed Heavenly Court army with all their might. The Dragon Qilin also noticed Jiang Baigui's formation deployments, and immediately saw through Jiang Baigui's design.
"Imperial Teacher Jiang Jingping pursues from the rear, and I need only deploy the army to encircle and divide from the flanks, and I can achieve surround-on-three-leave-one-open, making the Heavenly Court bleed without cease. I need not annihilate the Heavenly Court officers and soldiers I cut off; Imperial Teacher Jiang Jingping will naturally come from the rear and destroy these men.
" Though the two did not communicate, each saw the other's design, and their coordination was seamless, forcing the Heavenly Court to abandon even more baggage in order to march swiftly; those heavy implements difficult to transport were also cast aside. After a moment, suddenly flames blazed high, and another Jing Ping army burst out from the Heavenly Court's great camp, pursuing and killing at their heels—it was the army led by the Southern Emperor Vermilion Bird and Yan'er.
After another moment, another company of gods with three heads and six arms came killing, as the Crimson Emperor and Bright Emperor arrived. Jiang Baigui, reinforced by these two forces, set his heart at ease.
The army he led had marched a long distance, trampled flat the Xuandu gods and demons, and then rushed without pause to provide support; they were truly worn out.
This pursuit, too, was staked on their own lives!
This day was destined to be the Heavenly Court's darkest day.
