Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 565 A Narrow Victory

Because this was a battle, the power of the city-protecting formation was a one-time use.

Now that so much had been consumed, the power of the city-protecting formation had been greatly weakened.

With a few more instances like this, the city-protecting formation would likely be broken.

"I didn't expect them to have such immortal techniques," the first army commander said angrily after the enemy retreated, "If they continue to use this method of feinting, we will be very passive."

"We also have to take risks."

"I have a spatial immortal artifact here."

"Do you want to take people to raid their city?"

Just then, the fourth army commander chose to reveal a bit of his hidden strength.

"You have a spatial immortal artifact? That's great!"

"Even if they didn't bring their entire force, there are only a little over a thousand people left."

"If we send a legion, we still have a good chance of breaking through the city."

"Even if we can't break through the city, we must force them to retreat."

Upon learning that the fourth army commander had a spatial immortal artifact, the first army commander said with a smile.

"Then I will lead the fourth legion to the raid," the fourth army commander said.

"Don't depart for now, wait until they make another move, and then you can go secretly."

"Do you have a way to avoid the scouts on the road?"

A Xiang asked.

Hearing this, the fourth army commander became somewhat embarrassed.

His law power was not adept at concealment.

"Hand over the spatial immortal artifact to me, and I will lead the third legion to the raid."

"I will return it to you after the mission is accomplished."

"But if we fall into a trap, you can only blame yourself,"

A Xiang said.

"Don't you wield the law of reincarnation?"

"The law of reincarnation shouldn't be good at concealment!"

The fourth army commander asked.

"I also have a second law, the law of light."

As soon as A Xiang finished speaking, she disappeared from everyone's sight.

At this moment, A Xiang seemed to have merged with the light, undetectable even by spiritual sense.

"Good, I can lend it to you, but we must sign a dao oath contract."

Spatial immortal artifacts were very precious, and the fourth army commander feared that A Xiang would break her word, so a dao oath contract was necessary.

A Xiang had no intention of stealing his spatial immortal artifact, so she signed the contract with him.

After signing the contract, the fourth army commander gave the spatial immortal artifact to A Xiang.

A few days later, the enemy came to provoke them again.

This time, the four legions were divided into two groups.

Although they would be at a disadvantage for a short period, it would protect the city-protecting formation.

After the enemy withdrew, Qin Han Chu and others from the third legion immediately entered the spatial immortal artifact.

A Xiang, using the law of light, became invisible and sped towards the enemy city.

During the following time, the remaining three legions came out to patrol together.

They had to give the enemy the illusion of being heavily guarded.

The interval this time was longer, a full week before they started new harassment.

After this period of research, the first army commander and others had found a way to see through the deception.

They only sent a small number of people to guard the feigned side, while the rest went to intimidate the enemy forces led by Long Mu.

This time, Long Mu and the others were still scared away.

Three days later, Long Mu looked at the city from afar.

"Something's not right. Why haven't I seen their third legion anymore?" Long Mu asked the person beside him.

"Indeed, it seems they are missing a legion."

"Could they be protecting the banner in the city?"

"The city-protecting formation hasn't been broken yet, so that shouldn't be the case!"

Just then, another legion commander exclaimed, "Could they have used a spatial immortal artifact to go to our city?"

"Immediately charge their city!"

"If they still don't appear, then they must have gone to attack our city."

Under Long Mu's command, the army directly charged towards the city.

Leaving the second legion on standby, the first army commander led the fourth legion to meet the attack.

Seeing the enemy's fierce assault, the first army commander knew they had seen through the trick.

Without the first army commander's order, the second army commander had already brought the second legion to the fight.

Although Gu Dao Xian Ge only had three legions, they were not significantly inferior in numbers.

Under the fierce assault, it was enough to hold on for a few days.

Moreover, even if they couldn't win, they could retreat temporarily and rely on the city-protecting formation to recover their strength.

Although the city-protecting formation had consumed some power, it could still last for two to three days.

A Xiang traveling alone was faster than the entire army traveling.

Half a month was enough for her to reach the enemy city.

At that time, it would depend on who broke through the enemy city first.

Long Mu knew very well that he had no other choice now.

At this moment, he could only attack fiercely and could not defend.

It was already too late to defend.

As long as he could cut down Gu Dao Xian Ge's banner before their own city was breached, they would win.

Next, the battles between the two sides became fierce.

The first army commander focused on defense.

As long as they had enough strength, they would rush out to fight the enemy.

If their strength was too depleted, the first army commander would lead everyone back to the city to rest.

With the city-protecting formation, they would have time to breathe.

And the other side couldn't keep attacking, after all, their consumption was also very large.

The first army commander and others finally endured for more than half a month.

A Xiang and the others finally arrived in front of Yue Lang Xian Ge's city.

Although Yue Lang Xian Ge had also built formations in the city, these formations were quickly destroyed under the attack of Qin Han Chu and others.

Facing the attacking 4,800 people, the cultivators of Yue Lang Xian Ge panicked!

They only had a thousand people, and the numerical disparity between the two sides was too great.

Boom boom!

A Xiang, relying on the Luo Tian Grand Array, drew her bow and shot arrows at the city-protecting formation.

Under the fierce assault of over four thousand people, the power of the city-protecting formation was rapidly consumed.

At this moment, Gu Dao Xian Ge's city-protecting formation was already on the verge of collapse.

On Gu Dao Xian Ge's side, the first army commander had led his men to launch a final counterattack.

They could no longer retreat.

The battle had entered a final stalemate, and even if soldiers were injured or killed, they had to hold on!

Through the sound transmission jade slip, they had already learned that A Xiang and the others were also close to breaching the city.

Similarly, Long Mu had also received a transmission from his subordinates.

He had to breach the city before Qin Han Chu and the others did.

If Qin Han Chu and the others breached the city first, they would be finished.

Although Long Mu's side had more people, their resistance was also greater.

And Qin Han Chu's side could focus all their efforts on attacking the city-protecting formation.

The cultivators within the city did not dare to come out and fight.

Late that night, the city-protecting formations of the two cities were broken open almost simultaneously.

Qin Han Chu and the others encountered the desperate resistance of over a thousand cultivators.

A Xiang, with more than 1,500 people, surrounded and attacked these thousand people, while Qin Han Chu led 3,000 people to attack the banner.

Although the banner was protected by a formation, under the fierce assault of 3,000 people, the formation was immediately destroyed.

As the formation disappeared, Qin Han Chu cut down the banner with a single sword.

At the same time, Long Mu had also charged to the front of the banner.

But he was still blocked by the formation.

Upon learning that their banner had been cut down, Long Mu angrily swung his sword.

"Your banner has been cut, we have won!" the first army commander shouted excitedly, having received A Xiang's transmission.
