Chapter 275: Chapter 268 Great Victory_i
Vice City Lord Bai led his vast army in a sudden, rainbow-like assault, swiftly sweeping through the rear of the enemy forces.
Rapidly devouring those of the enemy who were too slow to escape.
All the way, the enemy fled in panic, leaving behind corpse after corpse.
Elder Jiu Yin gradually sensed that something was amiss.
Because those Taiyin Yaoyaos were his life-bound insects, even if someone had captured them, he could still sense their general location through the Insect King.
He discovered that the closer he got to Luoshui Town, the further away he was from the insects.
“Damn it, what’s going on here? My insects were placed by the riverside in Luoshui Town, how did they end up somewhere else? Nie Kun, this fool, what is he doing?”
Elder Jiu Yin was seething with rage inside, both anxious and infuriated.
He had already instructed that in case his disciples were conquered, they should withdraw directly with the eight Taiyin Yaoyaos.
With the capabilities of the eight Taiyin Yaoyaos and the cover of the mist, escaping would be a breeze.
“Run in that direction!”
Elder Jiu Yin immediately adjusted the direction of their escape.
“Elder, that way lies the heartland of the Black Tiger Gang. Without the protection of a large army, it’s very dangerous,” a guard hurriedly warned.
They held the advantage in the escape, with the Shennong Sect’s army behind them, delaying the Black Tiger Gang’s pursuit, providing a prime opportunity for escape.
“Enough nonsense!”
Elder Jiu Yin’s expression was fierce, eyes filled with murderous intent.
Even the Black Tiger he rode could feel his master’s towering rage and killing intent, not daring to disobey.
The Insect Masters and guards of the Nine Insect Gang, in turn, had to follow Elder Jiu Yin’s change of direction, taking a detour towards the territory of the Black Tiger Gang.
The Shennong Sect’s army, however, had fallen into dire straits.
When they fled to Luoshui Town, they were ambushed by Master He Shan’s Insect Master unit; swarms of poisonous insects claimed the lives of many soldiers. After a fierce struggle, they fought their way through to the riverside, by then, more than half of their forces had been lost.
The Marshal of the Shennong Sect cursed Elder Jiu Yin’s ancestors for eighteen generations N-times over.
Once they reached the riverside, they planned to immediately board ships and cross the river.
By then, they would be safe.
However, when they arrived at the riverside, they were dumbfounded.
Where were the boats?
There was not a single warship to be seen.
The river surface was too clean; not a single boat had been left behind.
“Report…”
A scout, who was blazing the trail, staggered towards the commander’s flag.
“There are numerous signs of fire at the riverside, as well as the wreckage of a few burned boats.”
“Those soldiers who can swim, strip off your armor and start swimming across immediately. Brothers who can’t swim, head straight along the river. After 1 cross, I will immediately send boats back to pick you up,” the Marshal of the Shennong Sect commanded, nearly vomiting blood from frustration.
The boats had been burned, the least they could do was to report back!
What he didn’t know was that at that time, the situation was extremely perilous. Elder Jiu Yin’s twelve disciples, some dead, others fled.
Each and every one of them had their courage shattered by Qin Niu.
The fact they had managed to successfully escape back across the river was already a blessing from their ancestors’ protective spirits.
