Chapter 862: 375. Divine soldiers descend from the heavens, forcing out Shi Tian_3
Rescuing someone is within reach, but the problem is Hou Yucheng's strike is simply too fast, so fast that even if he goes to save, it surely still requires someone to bear the brunt.
For Qian Cheng to bear it alone, certain death.
If two people bear it, both can survive, but they will surely suffer heavy injuries.
In this way, the defeat of the army below will become even faster.
With the urgency of the situation, the Southern Medicine Master couldn't think much more.
It's just a pity that he suddenly found his body unable to move.
"Fahai, and your Shitian Buddha, even under such circumstances, you all don't come out to save people. Then why do you risk your life to save this Qian Cheng? Just continue to stay put!"
Hearing the voice next to his ear, a drop of cold sweat suddenly fell from the brow of the Southern Medicine Master.
This voice, he knew immediately whose it was.
Hou Yuxiao had also arrived!
In an instant, the Southern Medicine Master was somewhat dazed.
If calculated strictly, he had seen Hou Yuxiao a long time ago, during the Tongling demons' chaos year, which was the time when Xuzhou's army marched to Yongzhou. He projected onto the body of Zen Master Yuan Kong, and at that time, he only heard the name Hou Yuxiao but paid it no mind at all.
Just a junior from the martial world.
In the Battle of Longxiang Ferry, Hou Yuxiao officially entered his sight.
If, during the Battle of Wanglong Mountain five years ago, when hearing of Hou Yuxiao's duel with Fahai World-Honored One, he felt endless melancholy, then five days ago in Pengkang County, when he, together with Qian Cheng, Pagoda, Yu Liuli, Wu Zui, and Ping Yuan, a total of six shattered realm great powers, joined forces against Hou Yuxiao and still had three people slain, the Southern Medicine Master's heart was left with only a sense of helplessness.
In the battle of Pengkang County, he could be certain, even if the two World-Honored Ones, Nu Yuan and Jin Guang, joined forces against Hou Yuxiao, they would probably only be equally matched at best. To beat Hou Yuxiao one-on-one, unless the Buddha and the Fahai World-Honored One personally intervened, nothing else would work.
All these magical changes in the situation, the Southern Medicine Master thought carefully, from the Tongling chaos in 1322 until now, it has been just about ten years in total. In just ten short years, Hou Yuxiao grew to be a martial sub-saint strong enough to threaten Leiyin Temple.
This...
During the Southern Medicine Master's gap in thoughts, on the other end, Qian Cheng had already become a soul under the blade of Hou Yucheng. Slaying a shattered realm great power, Hou Yucheng had no hint of pride, his expression remained the same, and seeing Jianye Prefecture City still showed no reaction, his face even showed a slight trace of disappointment.
"Big brother?"
Hou Yuxiao, controlling the spiritually dazed Southern Medicine Master, turned back to glance at Jianye Prefecture City. He clearly sensed that inside the city there were still two unfathomable auras. They were definitely Fahai and Shitian.
At this critical juncture, the two hadn't... yet shown themselves!
"Fahai and Shitian not coming out to save the Southern Medicine Master and Qian Cheng might be one thing, but isn't there still a million Earthshade Monastic Soldiers of the Leiyin Temple within the Prefectural City? They aren't planning to come out and save these tens of thousands of defeated Huang Chan soldiers either?"
Hearing Hou Yucheng's words, Hou Yuxiao's pupils slightly chilled.
"Whether they come out or not, today this Jianye Prefecture City is bound to fall. Lead the army to continue pursuing the Huang Chan Army and seize the chance to attack into the city. I want to see what exactly Shitian and Fahai's plans are."
"Yes, big brother!"
Hou Yucheng cupped his hands in a salute, flew to the ground, and with his involvement, the already unstoppable Red Flame Army became even more fierce. The collapse of the Huang Chan Army intensified, and in almost just a hundred breaths or so, they were pushed across to the city gates.
Further ahead, and they'll enter the city!
Once the Red Flame Army enters the city, then this Jianye Prefecture...
"Master of Hou Family, would you consider retreating your troops?"
A voice entered his mind, and standing in mid-air, upon hearing the compromising tone in this voice, Hou Yuxiao's face immediately showed a hint of a smile.
Pleading with him, Shitian was actually pleading with him to withdraw the troops.
Shitian, finally couldn't sit still anymore!
