At the same time, squads of Xia Army shot through the air like sharp arrows, swiftly closing in on him.
Bao Bozhao immediately restrained his own blood energy, and indeed, those Xia Army squads immediately lost their target. But after a brief pause, they quickly locked onto the direction again.
Someone was commanding them from the shadows!
A cultivator on the same level, under his "No Light Ability," absolutely no one could have vision. The only explanation was that the commander was the one who set up the formation. The opponent wasn’t using their eyes for vision but was gaining intelligence through the formation’s perception.
As thoughts rapidly turned, Bao Bozhao swept through with his Heavenly Eye—
A burst of dazzling golden divine light instantly shot out, like a startled swan crossing the moon, piercing through this world without light. It traversed the street, shattering the silent array’s hub hidden behind the high wall.
Using the powerful might of the Divine Punishment Light to break a silent formation was indeed a bit extravagant. However, at this moment, all he needed was speed; he required control over his army in the first instance.
Only by mobilizing the army’s power was there a possibility of breaking out from the crisis!
After breaking into Hui Ming Fu, the governor’s front-line authority had been lost. He and Xie Baoshu had naturally been separated, each leading forces to strike and plunder the merits of Hui Ming Fu.
At this moment, there were as many as thirty thousand Qi Army troops accompanying him into Noon Sun City. Among them, ten thousand were his main force, and another ten thousand were troops regrouped after the battle at Feng Li Mansion, where their commander-in-chief had unfortunately died in action, the majority of which were Zhao Country soldiers. The governor’s prerogative on the front line made it convenient for him to gather soldiers, which he certainly fully utilized. The last ten thousand were Xia Army soldiers he had captured.
It could be said that this army played a crucial role in the entire battle situation of Hui Ming Fu. For him personally, it was the foundation for striving for merits and prosperity and establishing a foothold!
"I am Bao Bozhao! Obey my command! All soldiers, immediately rouse your blood energy; the enemy is tracking via blood energy fluctuations!"
He did not explain that the previous command was an enemy disguise.
Because, at such a critical moment, any explanation would just waste time and further confuse the soldiers. The Qi Army, thrown into chaos, needed nothing but clear and direct orders.
"Zhang Siyao, Du Zhuilong, Zheng Wugong..."
He promptly called out eight names, all Qi Army junior military officers at critical positions he had just observed: "Around you are comrades, do not panic. I command you to form the Circle Moon Formation, rally the nearby brothers with voices, hold your ground, and wait for the Soldier Slayer’s response!"
If the Annihilation Thunder Army were here, they could even start to counterattack now.
Though the allied forces of the Eastern Region countries were all elite troops from each country, they had few joint training opportunities, only once or twice a year. Even the choice of battle formation was limited, only being able to select from basic formations.
However, the Bao family from Daqi was, after all, a first-class renowned family. And Bao Bozhao had once been on the candidate list for the Yellow River Gathering of Qi Country.
The military training he received since childhood shone brilliantly in this War of Xia, demonstrating his military talents at this moment!
The Circle Moon Formation excelled in simplicity, stability, and resilience, and had strong resonance abilities. It could serve as an island in a furious sea, a lighthouse in darkness. A certain number of Circle Moon Formations, when used in conjunction with the Starlight Formation, could resonate into a "Moons Surrounded by Stars" formation.
This was the only available choice of military array under the current circumstances, which could rapidly unite the power of the grand army. Once accomplished, they could countercharge the enemy formation with their battle formation and launch a counterattack immediately!
Bao Bozhao’s command made him a target locked by the Xia Army. Various military formation Dao Techniques rained down like a storm.
"Zhao Wu, Xiong San—"
He walked calmly amidst the chaos of techniques, directing the soldiers to self-rescue with composure and clarity, every word hitting the key points.
Yet this time, he had just uttered the fifth name and hadn’t had time to declare the action.
He felt a sense of repulsive chaos! freёwebnovel.com
He sensed this realm’s rejection, encompassing space, vitality, and standards, all suppressing him, expelling him. Restricting his movement, driving away his spirit.
Heroes, thwarted by their destiny, cannot act freely!
Divine Skill [Overburdened]!
It was Tai Yin!
The one laying down silent arrays, formations of no light, and acting at this moment was Tai Yin!
Just as Bao Bozhao deduced the opponent’s identity, he saw Tai Yin himself, already appearing right in front of him, entwined with four-colored force, rushing at him directly.
At this point, the individual indeed no longer needed to maintain concealment.
He might even be deliberately attracting attention.
Because Bao Bozhao also noticed the disturbance ahead to the left.
Wei Guangyao, who had concealed his presence since the battle started, was employing some secret technique, stealthily approaching.
Bao Bozhao feigned ignorance and pushed the "No Light Ability" to its utmost, to darken Tai Yin’s "Divine Power Light." He leaped up and charged towards Tai Yin!
During the rapid charge, amidst the gaps while evading military formation Dao Techniques, he twisted his body swiftly, aligning with his Heavenly Eye! Dazzling golden Divine Punishment Light shot out, directly targeting Wei Guangyao!
A painful grunt echoed as Wei Guangyao’s figure leapt out from the darkness. This recently recognized "virtuous brother" had dodged in time, but his left arm had been broken, bleeding profusely!
Come, Tai Yin!
Bao Bozhao flew with a clear target. Capturing and killing Tai Yin was also the key to turning the tide of the battle! He had resolved to pay any price for this!
But just at the next moment, the entire Noon Sun City suddenly lit up with ten thousand lamps and ignited ten thousand fires!
Those lamps were imbued with spell enhancement.
Those fires were more than ordinary flames.
The Five Elements Fire of Dao Technique, Evil Marsh Fire, Yin Wood Fire, Ghost Coal Fire...
Almost all the fires that can be imagined and collected that can act on the level of spells were ignited in an instant.
Bao Bozhao’s No Light Ability covering Noon Sun City couldn’t possibly withstand so many Dao Technique lights in an instant!
Under the backlash of divine skills, he suffered severe injuries and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The darkness of No Light was expelled!
The darkness enveloping Noon Sun City at this moment was controlled by the array master Tai Yin!
Being targeted to such an extent isn’t the most terrifying thing.
Bao Bozhao noticed at the first moment that a terrifying force was erupting throughout Noon Sun City.
The function of the tens of thousands of lamps and fires was not just to use his No Light Ability to counter him, but also to awaken the key to Noon Sun City’s city-guarding formation! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Roaring yuan force was surging, and the rules of this world were changing. The city-guarding formation, which had already been shut down, was reactivated and was about to be launched! This city-guarding formation was tampered with, and the order seal handed over by Wei Guangyao no longer held core control authority!
Moreover, this city-guarding formation had been transformed by Tai Yin into a killing array that suppressed the city, and it was about to exert its might!
Truly divine and wondrous formation dao techniques.
Bao Bozhao’s face was as calm as water, having finally seen the ending!
With the emergence of this array, his army of thirty thousand had no hope of salvation. In a situation where the army was dispersed all over, no matter how he struggled, it was too late. Fighting desperately in the city was also useless.
There are times when manpower is exhausted!
Bao Bozhao didn’t utter a single ruthless word, decisively stopping his charge, without even looking at Tai Yin, and immediately turned and rushed to the gate!
The vertical eye on his forehead unleashed three Divine Punishment Lights in succession.
The dazzling golden divine light smashed against the city gate consecutively. The incredibly mighty force clashed madly with the solid steel city gate.
Under Tai Yin’s control, although the city-guarding formation had not been fully launched, part of its power was already leaning towards the city gate, and thus, even after taking three hits of Divine Punishment Light, it did not collapse.
But at this time, Bao Bozhao had already rushed into the gate passage and was in front of the city gate. With a tremor of his hand, he had already drawn the Mountain Driving Whip!
Crack—Snap!
The gray-white whip body whistled, bringing up endless undulating mountain illusions.
With a heavy lash, it struck the city gate.
Divine Skills! Moving Mountains!
The power of the mountain resided in this whip.
Boom!
The solid steel gate exploded with a roar, and fragments flew like butterflies.
Before the city-guarding formation could start, he had already broken the city gate!
Outside the city gate was the bright heavenly light.
Outside the city gate was the vast world.
But for Bao Bozhao, this was a retreat named humiliation.
Yet he had no choice but to tread upon it!
Hui Ming Fu was originally a feast for sharing military achievements, everyone was feasting indulgently, yet he suffered this crushing defeat, with his thirty-thousand-strong army completely overturned!
But now was not the time for painful self-reproach.
Only by escaping with his life could he avenge today’s shame and settle his grudge against Noon Sun City.
Only then could he have the chance to reclaim everything he lost today!
"Scoundrel Bao Bozhao, where do you think you’re running to!"
Within Noon Sun City, Tai Yin directly spun up an army formation of nearly three thousand soldiers, roaring as he charged out. This roar was naturally to shatter the morale of the Qi Army inside the city, to inform them their general had abandoned the army and fled. But his determination to kill Bao Bozhao was also exceedingly clear.
So-called, wounding Qi’s muscles and bones, to sap the nation of Qi’s strength...
Slaying thirty thousand Qi soldiers would be less impactful than killing Bao Bozhao alone!
How could he possibly let him go!
On the other side, Wei Guangyao quickly staunched his bleeding, wielding a knife with one arm, he turned and began to command the extermination of the Qi Army inside Noon Sun City.
Tai Yin indeed had no need to stay now...
The city-guarding killing array that he personally transformed, once launched, would be nothing but a massacre!
