Chapter 274 - Chapter 274: Chapter 267: Teammate Like a Pig Leading to Doom_1 (2/2)

It seems Master He Shan is indeed very powerful!”

Vice City Lord Bai was overjoyed upon seeing the enemy’s formation loosen and the fog churn violently, especially after hearing Elder Jiu Yin’s roar of fury.

At last, there appeared a glimmer of hope for victory.

Not long after the enemy formation had returned to normal, the fog began to violently churn once again, even more intensely than before.

There were even signs that it might dissipate.

Suddenly, the cursing roar of Elder Jiu Yin filled the air again.

“He Shan, you old bastard, how dare you slaughter two of my Taiyin Yaoyao! I will never rest until I have skinned you alive, feasted on your flesh, drunk your blood, desecrated your ancestral grave, ground your bones to dust…”

Elder Jiu Yin cursed Master He Shan with the most venomous words.

If Master He Shan was here, he would surely protest his innocence.

If only he had the power to slaughter those eight Taiyin Yaoyao.

But he simply didn’t have the ability.

This deed was clearly done by Qin Niu, yet he bore the brunt of the blame.

Elder Jiu Yin’s stream of curses hadn’t even stopped before another laiyin Yaoyao was burnt to death by Qin Niu.

Poof!

Elder Jiu Yin’s life-bound insects were being killed off one after another, dealing him tremendous damage.

After spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, Elder Jiu Yin’s complexion turned pale, and he could no longer stand firmly.

His guards quickly came to his support.

“Elder, Elder…”

“Retreat! Retreat immediately!”

Three of Elder Jiu Yin’s Taiyin Yaoyao had already perished, leaving only five.

He was desperate to save those last five.

If things continued like this, his spirit was sure to collapse.

“Just one or two more days and we would have won, we can’t retreat now!”

The Marshal of the Shennong Sect was extremely unwilling to give up.

“We’re leaving!”

Elder Jiu Yin did not even glance at the Marshal of the Shennong Sect. He led all the Insect Masters and guards of the Nine Insect Gang away at breakneck speed toward the rear. He needed to return to Luoshui Town as quickly as possible to save his life-bound insects.

As they retreated, the fog enveloping the area began to lift.

Vice City Lord Bai, having led the army in a grueling battle for several days, was already furious. Now that the enemy was suddenly retreating due to major issues, it provided him with the opportunity to lead his army in pursuit of victory.

Defeat was like a domino effect.

An experienced Marshal leading an army would never retreat abruptly, even in defeat.

Even if retreating were necessary, it would be done in an orderly fashion, with the front line becoming the rear and the rear line taking the lead.

Because retreating so suddenly could lead to utter ruin.

Once the soldiers lose their will to fight, they become like scattered sand.

“Damn it, that old Jiu Yin has doomed us all! We must report this to the Sect Leader when we return.”

The Marshal of the Shennong Sect cursed furiously, stamping his feet.

Vice City Lord Bai was already pursuing and slaughtering the enemy with his troops. The soldiers of the Shennong Sect, who had never fought in a war since their sect had always remained neutral, found themselves at a disadvantage.

Their army had regular training but no actual battlefield experience.

Previously, with the assistance of Elder Jiu Yin, many powerful Insect Masters, and the cover of the fog, they had managed to suppress the forces of the Black Tiger Gang.

Now they had become sitting ducks.

The soldiers could only curse their parents for not giving them an extra pair of legs as they fled desperately.

Whoever fled first would survive.

In the face of such significant stakes, no one would bother with politeness.

The cold and ruthless nature of humanity was fully exposed.

The Black Tiger Gang’s army slaughtered the invading enemy mercilessly. And an even greater tragedy awaited the enemy, for the warships docked at the river had all been set ablaze by Qin Niu.

For them, crossing the river now seemed harder than reaching the heavens..
