Chapter 474: End of Battle (1/2)
Xue Wei's original shape was overwhelmingly oppressive and impossible to overlook. Still, when he had taken on his human shape, he was capable of hiding amongst the crowd, and closing in on the cage.
Xue Wei appeared next to the cage, he did not materialize a sword out of Qi, but instead he transformed once again, the massive figure once more appearing on the battlefield.
The shape, which was much larger than before took up a lot of space in no time, and the cage which was beneath him was crushed.
The cage broke, and the vermilion bird clan's members looked in shock at the oversized Azure Dragon.
But their shock was suddenly replaced with ecstasy. They had not thought that their freedom would come so suddenly, and they hurried to escape.
Their retreat was covered by Xue Wei, and they all made it back to the main army.
Looking around, Xue Wei found that all the Diviners who had come from Chang'an were dead by now, and they had no reason to continue the battle.
The two continents had never before planned on having an all-out war, so if they continued like this, then it would be equal to winning a battle while heavily injuring themselves in the process. Neither of the armies was willing to do this.
Originally the Xiyang Continent's army had planned on eradicating the Demon Phoenix Continent with one swift move. Still, they had failed, and continuing the direct battle would not be beneficial to them.
The Demon Phoenix Continent's army was also satisfied with the outcome as their rescue mission was a success.
The two armies acted as if they had planned it beforehand. They retreated backward, and they did not continue to fight. The ground was littered with corpses, and the blood had turned the whole field into a muddy terrain, but no one paid attention to it.
If a life was lost in the war, their bodies could not be reclaimed, and thus these corpses were left on the battlefield.
Xue Wei was relaxed. The rescue mission was a success, and he had managed to try fighting against the Xiyang Prince.
A smile appeared on his lips as he thought about the storage treasure he had stolen from the prince. If the Twisting Heaven Slash was indeed within that storage treasure, then he would have benefited greatly.
The two groups of people were like ebbing tides of water which were retreating backward. Initially, Xue Wei and his friends had wanted to return to the ravine where they had been stationed before, but now people often vanished from the army.
