Super Martial Era: My Little World

Chapter 340 Retreat

In a small world.

"This is incredible! I've acquired thousands of divine weapons and magical artifacts, along with various sacred cultivation medicines! If all of these divine weapons and magical artifacts were converted into the life essence of extraordinary beings, my cultivation level would increase dramatically."

"However, if all of them are manufactured into Tree Ghost Warriors, several thousand Tier 8 Tree Ghost Warriors can be obtained. Those several thousand Tier 8 Tree Ghost Warriors can form the Heavenly Wood Dragon Suppression Formation and unleash terrifying combat power comparable to that of a Great Martial God."

"What I lack most right now is combat power! As long as I have enough combat power, I can go to the monster world to hunt powerful monsters."

After thinking for a while, Yang Lie decided to transform all the thousands of divine weapons and magical artifacts into tree ghost warriors of the eighth rank or above.

To combat the various terrifying enemies in the universe, the Human Alliance developed countless secret techniques. One of these techniques is the formation, where martial artists who cultivate the same attribute of martial arts unite and resonate through a special formation to unleash terrifying combat power.

Those thousands of eighth-tier tree ghost warriors, through a special secret technique of resonance, could even unleash terrifying combat power at the level of an eleventh-tier Great Martial God.

Of course, the resonance of the formation has a weakness. After these eighth-tier tree ghost warriors resonate with their secret techniques, unless the enemy can be trapped within the wood domain, even a ninth-tier extraordinary expert can escape from the army of eighth-tier tree ghost warriors.

Inside the army camp of the Dayun Empire in Luoxia Province.

“Lord Mingshan, I have successfully completed my mission. I have dealt with Huyan Wei. This is his empty whale bag.”

Yang Lie tossed an empty whale bag, which landed directly in the hands of Mingshan Gong.

"That's right! This is Huyan Wei's Empty Whale Bag! Yang Zhenchuan, if we can repel the army of the Great Wei Empire this time, you will be the one to deserve the greatest credit!!"

Lord Mingshan glanced at the supplies inside the empty whale bag, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and said, "Could you keep this empty whale bag with me for a while? I'll return it to you after we defeat the Great Wei Empire's army. Besides that, I guarantee you'll receive a very generous reward!"

Yang Lie readily agreed, "Okay!"

Huangpu Qingfeng said with a disdainful look, "What's so great about him? If I were to go, I could also kill Huyan Wei and seize the Empty Whale Bag!"

Gongyang Yingnan said bluntly, "Huyan Wei is a protector of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect. He is proficient in one of the ten ultimate techniques of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect, the Qiankun White Bone Soul-Stealing Claw. Moreover, his cultivation is above yours. If you go to hunt down Huyan Wei, you will only be throwing your life away."

"You! Humph!"

Huangpu Qingfeng, somewhat embarrassed and angry, said, "Yang Lie, since your Immortal Pavilion is so capable, do you have any way to break the Eight Desolations Ten Demons Heavenly Annihilation Formation outside? If you can break that formation, I will admire you!"

All eyes were fixed on Yang Lie.

Yang Lie smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps my elders in the sect could break this formation, but my strength is too weak to break it!"

The Eight Desolations and Ten Demons Heavenly Absolute Formation set up by Shen Chengxian was extremely fierce. Even a Martial God would have a nine-out-of-ten chance of dying if he entered the formation. Even a powerful expert at the Great Martial God Realm could resist it to some extent.

If Yang Lie were to release all the Tree Ghost Warriors to form a great formation, he might have a chance to break through the Eight Desolations Ten Demons Heaven-Slaying Formation, but that would be of no benefit to him, so he naturally wouldn't force his way in.

Yang Lie said, "Could it be that you, Huangpu Qingfeng, have the ability to break through the Eight Desolations and Ten Demons Heavenly Annihilation Formation outside? If so, that would be truly remarkable! By the way, can you do it?"

Huangpu Qingfeng's face flushed slightly as he gritted his teeth and said, "I...can't!"

Lord Mingshan smiled slightly and said, "Alright, everyone! Shen Chengxian has lost his logistical support, so he has no choice but to retreat. This battle is a victory for our Great Yun Empire! You are all heroes in this battle, and I, on behalf of the hundreds of millions of people of the Great Yun Empire, would like to express my gratitude to you!"

Huangpu Qingfeng's expression softened slightly. He glanced coldly at Yang Lie without saying a word.

Yang Lie ignored Huangpu Qingfeng and talked with the other disciples.

The other disciples didn't have Huangfu Qingfeng's bad habits, and the group's exchange was quite pleasant. Inside the Great Wei Empire's camp.

"Young Master, our supplies have been stolen, and we can't gather enough supplies in a short time!"

One of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect's protectors, Bai Luode, respectfully addressed Shen Chengxian.

Although Bai Luode was also a powerful expert at the level of a Great Martial Saint, he knew that his limit was also the Great Martial Saint, while Shen Chengxian's future was limitless.

"withdraw!"

Shen Chengxian said calmly.

After Shen Chengxian gave the order, the massive army of the Great Wei Empire began to withdraw rapidly, leaving behind a great deal of supplies and appearing quite disheveled.

Inside the Great Yun Empire's main camp.

Huangfu Qingfeng exclaimed excitedly, "The Great Wei Empire has retreated!! Now is the time for Lord Mingshan to make his mark and establish his career. Please send a large army to pursue them immediately and annihilate the Great Wei Empire here!"

A general from the Great Yun Empire stood up excitedly and said, "Lord Mingshan, I am willing to lead my troops in pursuit!"

"Lord Mingshan, you are also willing to lead troops in pursuit!!"

"..."

The generals all shouted excitedly.

When an army retreats, it is usually at its weakest point, and if it is pursued, it will suffer heavy casualties. This is often the best time to make a name for oneself.

Lord Mingshan's face darkened as he said, "No, I order everyone to remain where they are and not to pursue. Anyone who violates this order will be punished according to military law!"

"Yes!"

The generals responded with a chill.

On the other side, Shen Chengxian led 30,000 Black Demon soldiers and used a secret technique to completely invisibly hide in a forest, waiting for the Great Yun Empire to pursue them, but they did not see anything.

Shen Chengxian frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Mingshan Gong is truly an old fox! This guy's steady and methodical approach makes him a real headache for any opponent!!"

Shen Chengxian was the young master of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect. He was exceptionally talented and intelligent. He had already mastered all ten of the sect's ultimate techniques. If Mingshan Gong were to compete with him in ingenious schemes, he would be overjoyed. However, Mingshan Gong was as steady and methodical as an old tortoise, ignoring all of Shen Chengxian's weaknesses, which gave him a great headache and left him completely at a loss.

Shen Chengxian said resentfully, "I don't believe you can stay here forever!"

Shen Chengxian used a secret technique to conceal the whereabouts of the 200,000 Black Demon soldiers, then went into hiding, while simultaneously creating the illusion that the 200,000 Black Demon soldiers had returned to the capital.

Although Yang Lie killed Hu Yanwei and seized half a year's worth of military rations from Shen Chengxian's army, Shen Chengxian was cautious by nature and had prepared a year's worth of provisions in advance, enough to allow the Great Wei Empire's army to hold out for more than another six months.

After Shen Chengxian's army withdrew, Mingshan Gong did not withdraw his troops but instead held his ground and sent out scouts to investigate.

Shen Chengxian also sent out powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect to use secret techniques to deceive the scouts' senses, but Mingshan Gong simply stayed in his camp, neither withdrawing nor advancing.

Shen Chengxian stayed for another two months before finally having no choice but to lead his army back to the Great Wei Empire.
