Chapter 703: Chapter 289: Crushing, Stalling for Time, Ning Yuan Hill’s Decisive Victory
"Smart, but unfortunately a bit late."
It’s over!
Hou Hu felt a blackness before his eyes, his emotions too agitated, and the injuries he had barely suppressed were showing signs of resurfacing.
"Hou Ning, Wang Peng, Lu Yan, come with me quickly, something happened to the Blood Guard Army!"
He dared not hesitate any longer, stood up directly and rushed toward the north side, not forgetting to call upon the three Cold Resistance levels present from Zhaoyang.
Hou Ning and the other two, who had just been besieging Xia Hong with the people from Long Mountain, immediately followed behind him, heading north together.
"The army we just saw was fake, it was Great Xia’s deliberate ploy to confuse us. The army setting the ambush in Changbai Gully never came over; they ambushed the Blood Guard Army halfway."
"This Xia Hong stayed here on purpose to stall us, making us think he was covering for the great army’s escape. Something definitely happened to the Blood Guard Army."
"The Blood Guard Army thought the Xia Army was fleeing south and must have been wholeheartedly pursuing them. If they were ambushed along the way, then..."
The people of Long Mountain and others now realized what was going on.
They all turned to stare at Xia Hong, their eyes full of fury.
That army that was fleeing south just now wasn’t ignoring them because they couldn’t handle them; it was simply because they never had the strength. Yet they deliberately chose to attack Xia Hong only when that army was far away.
Not only Hou Hu, but even the people from Long Mountain were played by Great Xia.
"What a Xia Hong, what a Great Xia, Great Xia..."
Li Xuanling furrowed her brows slightly, clearly angered to the extreme.
She always considered herself the number one genius of Longyou, never regarding others highly in terms of strength or cunning. Even though Xia Hong’s strength far exceeded hers at this stage, she believed that given time, she could eventually catch up to him.
However, at this moment, reality gave her a brutal slap.
Judging by tonight’s series of encounters, in terms of strength and intelligence, Xia Hong seemed to entirely outstrip her.
"The new army is gone, and the Blood Guard Army must also be severely weakened by now. In one night, Great Xia has crushed two armies in Longyou. It can’t continue like this; the ruler of Longyou can only be Long Mountain. This major threat must be eliminated!"
Li Xuanling’s gaze shifted again to her brother Li Xuantiang, seemingly making some decision, a trace of resolve flashed in her eyes.
Soon, a panicked voice came from the north side, making her expression even more determined.
"Alliance Hierarch, the Xia Army is coming, run quickly!"
That panicked voice came from Hou Hu.
From the north side, Hou Hu and the other three, who had just fled, were scrambling back in a rush. Hou Hu’s body was in an unusual state, almost being dragged by Hou Ning and the other two.
The four looked panicked, their faces full of horror, and they didn’t run towards the south, avoiding the people from Long Mountain. Instead, they headed southwest, loudly urging the people of Long Mountain to flee at once.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Even across two to three kilometers, the sound of iron arrows tearing through the air from the north was exceptionally clear, instantly changing the expressions of the people from Long Mountain.
No wonder the four of them fled so pitifully. At the end of the northern view, a rain of arrows was pouring down on them madly.
Even from such a distance, the sound of iron arrows tearing through the air was so clear that any Cold Resistance level with a bit of experience could immediately tell that these iron arrows had an impact force of at least over thirty thousand pounds, enough to threaten their physical bodies.
"Run!"
Li Xuanling dared not delay any longer. She turned back, gave Xia Hong a glance, and shouted for the group of Cold Resistance levels from Long Mountain to flee southwest.
From the scale of the arrow rain alone, there must be at least seven or eight hundred Xia Army soldiers, which proved that their ambush on the Blood Guard Army resulted in minimal casualties. If the thirteen Cold Resistance levels stayed here, being surrounded by the great army, with the terrifying Xia Hong at the side, escaping would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
"Leader, Ning Yuan Hill’s great victory, the Cloud Dragon Army killed 642 enemies, captured 142, including two Cold Resistance levels. The Zhaoyang Blood Guards are now nominally extinct, haha!"
Li Xuanling and others hadn’t run far when Liu Yuan’s cheerful laughter reached their ears.
The Blood Guard Army is gone!
In front, the four of Hou Hu’s faces suddenly turned deathly pale;
The pupils of the people from Long Mountain constricted sharply, and their expressions turned instantly blood-dark and gloomy.
