Chapter 1173: Formation Slays Nalan Wuchang
Yet at this moment, being evenly matched with an ordinary member of the Shadow Team, how could this not be shocking?
“After a prolonged battle, the Fifth Master’s stamina must be waning, and his spirit is flagging.”
“Indeed, the elderly aren’t as strong as they once were, this is no empty statement. As people age, their overall functions decline. In contrast, that fellow on the opposite side is full of vigor and Blood Qi. Besides, they’re fresh to the battle, waiting for the right moment. Achieving such results isn’t surprising.”
“What you’re saying makes us worry. We’ve been fighting for a long time, while the Ning Family has come with fresh troops. When are our reinforcements arriving?”
“Kill! Killing one is nothing, killing two is a gain.”
“Damn, that sounds like something cannon fodder would say.”
“What do you think? Not just us, even the Fifth Master is merely cannon fodder in this skirmish.”
Although the Nalan Clan members are still fighting, they’ve lost their edge. Coupled with Nalan Wuchang’s ineffectiveness, it forces the entire Nalan Clan to retreat step by step, leading to a total collapse.
And at this moment, a troop appeared at the rear of the Nalan Clan. They numbered in the dozens, seemingly from a direction where prolonged battle failed. Responding to Nalan Wuchang’s call, they arrived hastily.
However, that troop was still quite a distance away.
The Shadow Team members exchanged glances and made up their minds.
“Brothers, let’s seize the opportunity and counterattack, turning Nalan Wuchang’s troops into a rout, then scatter the newly arrived reinforcements. We might even take another wave.”
“Yes, let’s do this.”
“Quickly inform Leader Ouyang, tell him that in close combat, we’ve already driven back the Nalan Clan’s troops and launched a counterattack. The Nalans are so scared they’ve wet their pants, unable to withstand even a single round.”
“Damn it, we haven’t even fought yet, isn’t this too unreliable to say?”
“Absolutely reliable, trust me.”
Thus, the Shadow Team led the re-energized Ning Family members in a counterattack, sweeping forward with soaring momentum and taking advantage of the terrain.
Crackling…
Bang bang thud…
Nalan Wuchang heard their conversation, and with a swift decision said, “Brothers, let’s confront them strongly so we won’t be defeated. Otherwise, our reinforcements will become a fleeing mob, a complete failure.”
“Kill…”
This time, the Nalan Clan members’ battle cries were much subdued, having been terrified by the Shadow Team members.
In this clash with such profound Realm differences, they were harboring thoughts of fleeing.
The two forces clashed again, but the Nalan Clan members were exhausted and collapsed at the slightest impact.
Nalan Wuchang was furious, standing there yelling, “What are you all doing? Get in there, retreat means death.”
With a splutter.
He beheaded a fleeing clan member.
However, this only slowed the defeat, not changing the overall battle situation.
The battlefield was chaotic like a stormy sea, drowning out his angry shouts.
“Old man, what are you shouting for? I’ll kill you now. Without a leader, your Nalan Clan will be like scattered sand, rushing downstream into a true rout.”
“Is that so? Although I’m not your match, you’re not mine either.”
Nalan Wuchang said, bravado masking his weakness, bravely engaging with the Shadow Team member.
Another Shadow Team member came to assist, laughing heartily, “One person certainly isn’t your match, but what about two?”
As they spoke, the two Shadow Team members coordinated, surrounding and cornering Nalan Wuchang.
Nalan Wuchang was livid, gritting his teeth, “You are truly shameless, the epitome of shamelessness!”
“So what? Whether it’s a white cat or a black cat, the one that catches mice is a good cat. We only look at the results, not the process,” a Shadow Team member retorted immediately.
Another Shadow Team member coldly chuckled, “Unaware of impending doom, then let you become a wrongful ghost.”
Swish…
No sooner had the words ended, one Shadow Team member attacked, the other defended. As Nalan Wuchang tried to strike, one member blocked his sword while the other leaped swiftly, and the War Saber harshly slashed down.
Whoosh…
“What?”
Nalan Wuchang was drenched in sweat, attempting to dodge but failing.
If he dodged, the Shadow Team member confronting him would immediately kill him.
Now caught in a dilemma, regardless of whether he dodged or didn’t, he was doomed, and time was running out.
With a swish.
The airborne Shadow Team member slashed down, the saber’s edge sliced across Nalan Wuchang’s body, striking the ground and creating a trench while dust flew up.
“Ugh…”
Nalan Wuchang’s sword fell to the ground. His form, from top to bottom, bore a bloody line and gradually burst forth with fresh blood.
Then with a crash, he split into two halves on the ground, blood and entrails spilled everywhere.
He had been cleaved in two by the Shadow Team member, and symmetrically at that. The sight was shocking and chilling.
“Ah… Fifth Master is dead, run!”
“These guys are demons, we’re no match…”
Seeing Nalan Wuchang cleaved in half, the Nalan Clan members no longer retained any courage to fight, fleeing in panic, some even leaving their weapons behind.
“What’s happening?”
The troop that came to support was dumbfounded seeing the clan members fleeing.
But upon seeing the Shadow Team and Ning Family members following close behind, they comprehended everything.
“Damn it, what’s Nalan Wuchang doing?”
“Such an old waste, did he call us for reinforcement because he’s securing defeat?”
“With troops collapsing like this, what do we do?”
“Indeed, if these fleeing troops disrupt our ranks, we’ll only be slaughtered.”
“Let’s run, whoever runs fastest can save their lives.”
“True, on such a narrow path, if our formation is disrupted, consequences are unimaginable. Among thirty-six strategies, running is paramount, preserving our lives is key.”
Whoosh whoosh…
The fleeing Nalan Clan members thought the reinforcements would aid them.
Unexpectedly, the underling troops ran faster than them, practically skating on oil.
Thus, before the Shadow Team and Ning Family members, there was no one left to resist.
They seized the opportunity to slaughter another wave, claiming dozens of lives before withdrawing.
