Chapter 701 Some Died, Some Fleed

Yang Rong is the kind of person who is prescient and reacts extremely quickly.
He immediately resorted to self-harm to force Xiao Changche to retreat and thus gain a chance to escape.

In a duel between masters of innate talent, it's very difficult for one to kill the other; that applies to one-on-one situations.

When it's one against two, it's hard to say.

Especially on a battlefield like this.

The army has already begun to collapse. If you get caught up in the army, it will be wishful thinking to try to escape.

The moment Li Dachui appeared, he killed the enemy's general, which greatly boosted the morale of the three thousand iron cavalrymen from beyond the pass led by Xiao Changche. In contrast to their previous style of silently and coldly killing the enemy, they were now like they had been injected with chicken blood, roaring and waving their weapons.

Meanwhile, their opponents' voices grew softer and softer until they were almost inaudible.

What are you yelling for? Save your energy for escaping!

Xiao Changche glanced at Li Dachui, who was spreading his tail feathers like a peacock on the battlefield, and with a flick of his hair, rushed to the other side.

There, Duanmu Miaomiao was locked in a fierce battle with Li Zhengtai.

With a wave of his hand, the spear, like a dragon, traversed over a hundred meters and struck Li Zhengtai's back. Li Dachui, who followed closely behind, flicked his finger, and a blue spark with silver trim on a flower petal landed on the spear. With a whoosh, the entire spear was covered with a faint blue light.

The gun shot like lightning, piercing straight into the thick red mist.

Outside the red mist, it seemed to encounter some obstacle. The spear suddenly began to spin, and then with a boom, the blood mist burst into flames.

Duanmu Miaomiao was startled and immediately withdrew her hand and stepped back.

A layer of eerie blue light enveloped the entire red mist. As Li Dachui approached, more sparks suddenly emerged from the sky and landed on the red mist.

With a hiss, the spear finally pierced through the red mist and plunged into it. The sparks attached to the spear immediately intensified and burned fiercely from the inside out.

Li Zhengtai screamed loudly in agony.

Phoenix Fire is the natural nemesis of kung fu techniques like Blood Jade Kung Fu.

If He Qingqiu hadn't helped Duanmu Miaomiao with her Divine Travel cultivation, and instead Duanmu Miaomiao had rashly tried to cultivate the Phoenix Flame, she would have been burned to ashes.

Moreover, the Phoenix Fire now originates from the Qi of Heaven and Earth, making it not just a nemesis, but a calamity.

Li Zhengtai might have been able to withstand the pure Phoenix Flame with his profound cultivation, but the upgraded Phoenix Flame immediately turned him into a torch, igniting him from the inside out.

Moreover, within this blazing torch, the domineering true energy of Fatian was transforming into thousands upon thousands of fine needles, raging within the body.

Li Dachui rode up to Xiao Changche's side, spread his legs, and straddled the saddle. Looking at the torches ahead, he laughed and said, "Indeed, when husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can break metal. Even a master of innate realm is no match for us when we join forces!"

Xiao Changche turned to look at him, his eyes shining brightly behind the devil mask. Li Dachui chuckled dryly, "Ningyu, long time no see, you've lost weight!"

"You've made me so angry!" Xiao Changdao said. "Some things aren't as you think!" Li Dachui quickly explained.

Xiao Changche snorted, but didn't want to get into a fight with Li Dachui in front of everyone in the family, so he just turned his head and ignored him.

When Xiao Hei saw Li Dachui, it wagged its tail and walked over, rubbing its big head against Li Dachui's body and sticking out its long tongue to lick Li Dachui's big hand.

Little Black is the dragon among horses.
The warhorse beneath Li Dachui was merely one he had casually acquired from the auxiliary troops camp. Now, as Xiao Hei approached, it trembled violently, its tail tucked tightly between its legs.

After licking Li Dachui a few times, Xiao Hei finally noticed the inferior horse next to him. It was immediately enraged, opened its mouth, revealed its sharp teeth, and bit down with a slurp.

The horse let out a miserable cry, its rump buckled, and it turned to run away. Li Dachui, however, cried out in surprise at the right moment, leaping into the air. Little Black's four hooves moved slightly, just enough to move Li Dachui's body. Li Dachui landed steadily on Little Black's back, reaching out to stroke Little Black's satin-like fur, feeling smug in his heart.

It was, after all, the horse I raised myself.

Seeing Li Dachui land behind him and put his arm around his waist, Xiao Changche was furious. He grabbed Xiao Hei's bridle, turned its big head around, and gave it a hard shove.

Little Black wasn't angry at all after being hit; it just shook its head, wagged its tail, and pawed at the ground, looking quite smug.

Li Zhengtai burned very quickly, so quickly that he didn't even have time to scream before turning into a pile of ashes. The Phoenix Fire attacked him from the inside out, sending him to the Western Paradise in an instant, without him suffering any pain.

At this point, two of the three main generals of the allied forces were dead and one had fled, causing their morale to collapse to an extremely low point. At this time, any soldiers from the Wuzu and Baiyu armies who could quickly leave the battlefield rode away.

The young and strong men and auxiliary soldiers, who were running around in a chaotic manner, provided considerable cover for them, blocking the pursuing iron cavalry from beyond the Great Wall.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Li Dachui squeezed his horse's flanks slightly, and Xiao Hei immediately turned and galloped towards the battlefield.

The cavalry from beyond the Great Wall were no longer obsessed with beheading people. They split up into groups and drove those running around into the middle, as long as you didn't stubbornly run into their blades.

When those who could escape had fled, and those who couldn't escape threw away their weapons and banners, covered their heads, and squatted down on the ground, the battle finally came to an end.

Of the three thousand elite warriors and two thousand white-feathered soldiers, more than half were lost. The remaining ten thousand or so able-bodied auxiliary soldiers were mostly taken prisoner. Xiao Changche's three thousand iron cavalry from beyond the pass did not win easily either, and the casualties of more than a thousand men were the greatest losses of the elite troops beyond the pass in several years.

Seeing the list of casualties reported by Xiao Dongwei, Li Dachui felt a pang of heartache. These elite personnel were truly one less to lose.

"Fortunately, we crippled the Li Clan's elite troops and the Yang Clan's White Feather Army. If we encounter these two remnants on the battlefield again, they won't be a threat!" Xiao Dongwei explained, noticing the grim expressions on the faces of the two protectors. "Furthermore, two of their three commanders were killed and one was wounded. In the end, we won a great victory!"

"Although they are remnants, if they escape back and are recruited and reorganized by Li Guohua, they will likely become a major threat!" Xiao Changchedao said.

“Li Guohua won’t amount to anything. There should be a big show to come in Boling County!” Li Dachui said. “We’ve suffered such heavy losses this time. How can we make up for them if we don’t take over the entire Boling County?”

"What have you done now?" Xiao Changche stared at Li Dachui: "The Cui, Li, and Yang families have been severely weakened, but Li Guohua hasn't suffered much loss. He's now eager to reorganize the remaining forces of these three families!"

"Thinking about it is one thing, but whether he can actually do it is another!" Li Dachui said, "I'll make sure he ends up with nothing!"
