Chapter 1796: Not Enough (2/2)

Dong Zi'an reopened his eyes as a hesitant look appeared on his face.

At the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect encampment, a group of exhausted powerful beings were seated around the secondary tree of life.

They had all given everything they had to give, but were still unable to completely stop the Blood River Godslayer Array.

Thankfully, with the secondary tree of life present, they would be able to recover their lost energy far more quickly than normal.

Tang Wulin was focused on meditation, inspecting his own internal condition. In reality, if he had tried a bit harder, he would've perhaps been able to pierce through the Blood River Godslayer Array; that was most likely achievable with his Golden Dragon Spear and Sea God's Trident.

However, what would he do then? He would just be trapped in the array, and there would be no chance for him to escape again.

The Blood River Godslayer Array was like a self-regenerating rubber ball; even if he were to pierce through it, it would simply heal itself and trap him inside.

If only she were by his side.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but reminisce on the last time he had fought alongside Gu Yuena. The two of them were able to unleash the Dragon God Transformation, and with it, they had even been able to force back the Holy Lord. Both of them were definitely far more powerful than they had been back then, and if they were to join forces again, their combined impact on this battle would be much greater.

However, would she be willing to join forces with him?

With that in mind, Tang Wulin slowly opened his eyes and cast his gaze toward the Western Legion's encampment.

In this dire situation, surely even the Spirit Pagoda wouldn't stand between them. After all, the Western Legion was about to face a full-frontal assault.

Right at this moment, Tang Wulin suddenly rose to his feet in an alarmed manner.

The mountaintop they were situated on was the tallest on in this area, so the view was good, and to his surprise, he could see that the Western Legion seemed to be preparing to move. A series of mechas rose up into the air before slowly flying back, and many cars on the ground were also beginning to swivel around.

What were they doing? Were they retreating out of their encampment?

There was still quite some time before the Blood River Godslayer Array was projected to reach their encampment! How could they just abandon their encampment like this?

Tang Wulin hurriedly pulled out his soul communicator to contact the main control center.

”Commander, what's going on with the Western Legion? Why are they suddenly retreating? Did you authorize this retreat?” Tang Wulin asked in an urgent voice.

Yu Guanzhi seemed to be extremely furious as he replied, ”Of course not! How could I authorize them to abandon their encampment? Those bastards! I'm unable to get through to the Western Legion for now, and I've already sent someone to investigate. No, I have to go and see what's going on for myself. Please rest assured, Sect Master Tang; I'll head over to stop them right away.”

Yu Guanzhi was so enraged that he felt like he was about to go insane! Deserting a battlefield was a crime punishable by death! Never did he think that the Western Legion would decide to retreat at a time like this. It was clear that they had already given up on their encampment and were gathering behind it.

Thus, Yu Guanzhi and Chen Xinjie rushed out of the control center together before heading directly toward the Western Legion.

Dong Zi'an was currently in his military uniform, standing on the shoulder of an imposing red mecha. This was his divine-grade mecha, and it was renowned for its wolf-like appearance, as well as its incredible speed. The mecha had been named ”Fierce Wolf” after his martial soul, and he was currently appraising the unfolding scene with a smug smile on his face.

Yu Guanzhi and the others had definitely already noticed the situation, and he was essentially forcing them into using Eternal Heaven.

He wasn't actually planning to retreat; he was very familiar with military laws. The Blood River Godslayer Array was currently still at least six to seven hours away from reaching them, and that was sufficient time for them to reoccupy the encampment. Everything he was doing now was according to Qiangu Dongfeng's suggestion, which was to feign retreat to force the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy into using Eternal Heaven as quickly as possible.
