Facing the siege of two legions, it was now Long Mu's legion's turn to turtle and defend.
Meanwhile, the Second Legion had already engaged the enemy's other legion.
The opponent had also learned its lesson, leaving only about two thousand men to guard their base.
However, due to previous defeats, they were slightly disadvantaged in terms of numbers.
After more than ten minutes, the enemy's third legion finally arrived.
Although Gu Dao Xian Ge only had two thousand men defending the city, this legion did not dare to attack.
The city was protected by a great defensive array, which they could not break in a short time.
During this period, their legion was likely to suffer heavy losses, so they dared not attack the city.
"It's time to withdraw," Qin Han Chu transmitted to A Xiang.
A Xiang immediately transmitted to the first and second legion commanders, and then they headed towards the city.
"Chase them and attack their city-guarding array." Seeing Qin Han Chu and the others escaping, Long Mu immediately ordered pursuit.
A Xiang's Third Legion had suffered too much, and continuing the fight would be unsustainable.
Therefore, it was necessary to withdraw and replenish their forces.
The Third Legion retreated at the fastest pace, while the First and Second Legions provided rear guard.
They now had a common goal, so they were relatively united.
As they neared the city, A Xiang immediately ordered, "Fourth and Fifth groups, return to defend the city."
When the Fourth and Fifth groups rushed back into the city, the original Fourth Legion Commander, along with two thousand men, joined the defense.
With the addition of these two thousand men, the Third Legion finally regained some combat strength.
These two thousand men had been guarding the city, and their condition was at peak.
"Kill your way back."
With the boost from these two thousand men, the Luo Tian Array was revitalized.
Seeing the Third Legion fighting back, the First and Second Legions also turned around and fought their way back.
When he saw the Third Legion returning, Long Mu was startled.
Weren't they supposed to be escaping? How had they returned?
He quickly discerned the situation and realized that the Third Legion had been replaced.
After the recent battle, Long Mu's legion had also been heavily depleted. If they continued fighting, it would be their turn to be at a disadvantage.
However, he could not order a retreat now.
If they retreated again, this battle would be another loss for them.
Although the casualties were not high, two consecutive defeats would greatly impact morale.
"Your two legions will hold off their First and Second Legions respectively."
"I will lead my men to attack their Third Legion."
"Even with the replacement, their condition is still inferior to ours."
Hearing Long Mu's command, the commanders of the two legions immediately charged towards the First and Second Legions.
Qin Han Chu's Third Legion also confronted Long Mu's legion head-on.
The battle formations of the two legions collided repeatedly, but only then did Long Mu realize that his legion was weaker than A Xiang's Third Legion.
Two thousand peak-condition cultivators were not to be trifled with.
"Assist me!"
A Xiang drew his bow and shot an arrow, fiercely shattering the enemy's formation attack.
Immediately, the arrow directly struck the defensive barrier of Long Mu's formation.
Under this arrow, the defensive barrier of Long Mu's formation was covered in cracks.
With one more such shot, their formation would not be able to hold.
At this very moment, A Xiang drew his bow and shot again, another arrow flying out with the enhancement of the High-grade Immortal Bow.
"Assist me!" Long Mu shouted, and his subordinates also channeled their power to him.
He waved his High-grade Immortal Sword, and a terrifying force collided with A Xiang's arrow.
Boom!
Boom!
"Not good, retreat quickly!"
A Xiang's legion had many elites, and these individuals, along with the uninjured cultivators, naturally possessed greater power than Long Mu's legion.
Seeing his attack shattered by the arrow, Long Mu knew he was completely at a disadvantage. He shouted for retreat.
"Break!"
Long Mu wielded his High-grade Immortal Sword and unleashed another strike.
This time, he finally managed to shatter A Xiang's arrow.
But at that moment, A Xiang's third arrow flew out.
This time, Long Mu could not block it. Wherever this arrow passed, enemies at the Immortal King realm exploded.
Even worse, their nascent souls were pulverized by the arrow's power.
This arrow had gathered the strength of six thousand men. Even if these six thousand men were not at their peak, they were still far beyond the capabilities of ordinary Immortal Kings.
This single arrow took away over fifty enemy soldiers.
"Charge forward!" A Xiang, still positioned at the formation's core, directed the power of the Luo Tian Array to transform into sword beams, attacking Long Mu's legion.
Long Mu's legion had lost its formation's protection.
They could only flee in panic when facing the Luo Tian Array.
Those who were slower were slain!
The armies of Yue Lang Xian Ge were in full collapse and fled rapidly.
At the border between the two factions, the Immortals and Gods of Yue Lang Xian Ge sat facing those of Gu Dao Xian Ge.
On their sides were two enormous light screens.
The battles of the Immortal King and Immortal Venerable realms were being displayed on these screens.
Seeing the Immortal Kings of Yue Lang Xian Ge being pursued, the Pavilion Master of Gu Dao Xian Ge burst into laughter: "Pavilion Master Yue Lang, your son's commanding ability is not great. If he happens to die by our hands, do not come to me seeking redress. After all, on the battlefield, survival is by fate."
It turned out that Long Mu was the son of the Pavilion Master of Yue Lang Xian Ge.
No wonder the legion commanders of Yue Lang Xian Ge willingly followed his command.
Long Mu's strength was indeed good, and he also possessed a High-grade Immortal Sword.
However, as the son of the Pavilion Master of Yue Lang Xian Ge, his life had been too comfortable, making him slightly lacking in commanding ability.
"What's the hurry? It's yet to be known who will have the last laugh," Pavilion Master Yue Lang snorted.
"In the Immortal Venerable realm, you don't seem to be doing too well either."
The Pavilion Master of Gu Dao Xian Ge was A Xiang's former subordinate and the enemy she intended to kill in this life.
This person had white hair and a youthful complexion, with two markings on his brow emitting light.
"Hmph..."
As these two conversed, A Xiang and the others had already pursued the enemy to the central line.
Along the way, the enemy had lost at least five hundred men, while Gu Dao Xian Ge's formation defense remained intact, thus suffering no casualties.
This was the benefit of a formation; as long as the formation was not broken, the people within would be protected.
"Let's stop. Our men are too depleted. Even if we pursue further, we won't have the strength to attack the city," a legion commander mused.
A Xiang, along with the second and fourth legion commanders, all nodded in agreement, and then they retreated to the city.
Upon returning to the city, an Immortal Saint flew towards them.
"This battle was fought well. The Pavilion Master has a reward."
With that, the Saint unleashed four storage rings.
These four storage rings flew to the hands of the four legion commanders.
Within these storage rings were a large number of spirit crystals.
Based on their positions, A Xiang distributed these spirit crystals.
Receiving the rewards of spirit crystals, everyone's morale surged even higher.
Apart from those guarding the city, everyone else began to enter closed-door cultivation to recover their strength.
This battle, combined with the previous one, had resulted in approximately one thousand enemy casualties.
Their advantage had become even greater.
