Chapter 3898: Declining State

ting from the ice sword almost caused cultivators with lower cultivation levels to struggle to stand in the air. The bone-chilling cold penetrated through them, making it feel as if they were going to...As Lü Xiaotien and the purple-robed man clashed, he was also sensing the ever-changing battle formations of the Immortal Army and the Cloud Sand Soldiers.

At this time, as the front lines clashed with the greatest intensity, both sides’ formations were twisted and constantly shattered before regrouping amidst the chaos. Groups of three or five, ten or more, even dozens of immortal soldiers could form small or medium-sized offensive and defensive formations. Once these immortal soldiers separated from the main force, they would quickly huddle together for self-defense or engage in combat with the Yunsha clay soldiers.

The clash of powerful cultivators from the Heavenly Immortal Realm caused chaos all around. Some unfortunate low-level immortals, or even Yunsha puppets, were caught in the crossfire and instantly torn to shreds by the violent energy fluctuations, without even a chance to resist.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The man in purple armor didn't make any superfluous moves. The giant beast beneath him flashed, crossing thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. When the opponent struck with his spear, it unleashed endless purple-gray clouds and sand. The cloud and sand gathered together like a giant hammer, smashing down from the void. At this time, the army of Cloud Sand Soldiers had already gained the upper hand. Both sides were locked in a brutal fight. The man in purple armor didn't have to worry about the threat from the main force of the celestial army for now.

Lu Xiaoteng refused to yield. He drew his spear forward, and instantly two completely different forces intertwined. The man in purple armor shot directly into the purple-grey dust, and Lu Xiaoteng retreated sharply, creating some distance from him to avoid being caught off guard. However, this man in purple armor was also cunning. Instead of charging at Lu Xiaoteng, he suddenly flashed out and leaped into one side of the fairy army formation. With a sweeping motion of his halberd through the void, he resembled a sweeping force across thousands of troops. A wave of purple-grey ripples surged outward, causing hundreds of fairy soldiers to be thrown around like rag dolls. Of course, there weren't that many casualties, but nearly half of them were injured. After all, with the fairy army in formation, the man in purple armor didn't have a specific attack target. He just wanted to create an accident within the fairy army formation. The attack wasn't concentrated. With the varying numbers of fairy soldiers in formation, their defensive capabilities were relatively stronger. Furthermore, since the front-line fairy soldiers suffered first, those at the back received less damage.

At this time, Du Xin was also consecutively slashing towards the Cloud Sand Soldier warriors opposite her with her sword. The angle Du Xin chose was also excellent, and she selected a part of the Cloud Sand Soldiers' formation that had already suffered some damage. Under the crisscrossing sword light, the Cloud Sand Soldier warriors fell in pieces under the sword qi.

However, Du Xin's strength was not superior to the man in purple armor. Finding such an exchange, the immortal army of Weishan Immortal Realm was not as formidable as it seemed. They were even slightly at a disadvantage. Originally, Du Xin saw that Lu Xiaoteng's strength was quite good, and even if he couldn't defeat the man in purple armor, holding him off for a while wouldn't be too much of a problem.

She took advantage of the situation to tear open the formation of the Cloud Sand Golem army, making it easier for Shaoqing's immortal army to cope. After all, Shaoqing's immortal army was not only smaller in scale than the Cloud Sand Golem army, but its elite level seemed to be even higher. Especially since the Flying Leopard Riders on both wings hadn't charged over, Yu Xuan Immortal Army here presented a few signs of decline. If the Shaoqing's Yu Xuan Immortal Army suffered losses, Du Xin, as a celestial being strongman, although not directly responsible, would still feel a lot of pressure.

To Du Xindui's surprise, the man in purple armor was extremely cunning and did not give Lu Xiaottian a chance to entangle him. If this man in purple armor continues to run rampant, it is possible that the immortal army will collapse even faster.

Upon seeing this, Du Xin could only abandon these cloud and sand warrior soldiers and rush towards the man in purple armor. Underneath a crisscrossing sword light, a sword shield was formed just in time to block the shockingly powerful halberd strike.

Lu Xiaitian's spear pierced through with a clang, the metallic sound ringing incessantly.

“If we keep going like this, we're going to be at a significant disadvantage.” A valiant woman beside Shao Qing frowned and said.

“Hmm.” Shao Qing nodded gravely. “Before the Xianjun from Weishan City arrive, we might not be able to hold out for that long.”

“What are we going to do then” The valiant woman looked at Shao Qing in astonishment. “Don’t tell me you’re planning to cover the retreat yourself.”

“Even if we personally cover the retreat, it wouldn't be very effective. The enemy's Flying Leopard and Cloud Rider cavalry are too fast, and we can't escape at all. We can only hold our ground and wait for reinforcements. It's a pity, a slight misstep results in a vast difference.”

Speaking, Shao Qing shook her head. "Saying so much now is useless, let's prepare for a hard battle."

Compared to Shao Qing's distress, the thirteen Dragon Clan members on the main battle ship were also shocked by the current situation of the battle. However, seeing Lu Xiaotian wielding his spear, moving back and forth with ease, they couldn't help but be amazed. In normal circumstances, these thirteen Dragon Clan members would have been sacrificed long ago. But now that Lu Xiaotian was here, these scattered Dragon Clan soldiers were able to stay on the main battle ship and heal their wounds with peace of mind.

Although this place is dangerous and there's a possibility of being caught in the conflict at any moment, the Dragon Clan leader Yu Jing and others from the Purple Shirt Palace don't seem to be very afraid. After all, they have already walked out of the secret realm of Buddhism within the Mystical Sect. What they are facing now is just a small scene compared to what they have experienced.

Lu Xia Tian was now once again engaged in a brutal fight with the man in purple armor alongside Du Xin. In truth, he had a clear understanding of the overall battlefield situation, even including Shao Qing's current decision.

This guy isn't planning on withdrawing now Shao Qing's words left Lu Xia Tian quite downcast. He had originally intended to retreat promptly, but he hadn't expected Shao Qing to have no intention of backing down. However, Shao Qing, the general of the immortal army, was right in his analysis. The flying leopards and Cloud Sand Cavalry posed a great threat, being both fast and powerful. At this time, forming an array for battle still offered some chance of self-preservation. Even if they were defeated, it would be enough to inflict significant casualties on the Cloud Sand Army before them.

Once they retreated, the morale of the Jade Xuan Immortal Army plummeted. During the retreat, their formations would likely become disarrayed, making them vulnerable to a counterattack. If it weren't for the presence of the Flying Leopard Cloud Riders, their chances of survival would be slim.

It's not just Lu Xiaoteng who is depressed, at this time, Miao Qianmu on the main battle ship is even more remorseful. If he had known this, he would have returned early, why would he go to provoke the Yunsha clay army In this chaotic situation, once the war collapses, Lu Xiaoteng, whose strength remains, still has some ability to lead those dozen or so dragon clan ants away.

But Miao Qianmu was heavily injured. Even if the man in purple armor wasn't targeting him, once he was caught in the chaos of battle, Miao Qianmu thought his chances of survival were extremely slim. It was just that at this moment, even if Miao Qianmu regretted it again and again, it was useless.

If it truly came to a point of no return, he could only withdraw. Lu Xia Tian hesitated for a moment in his heart, but didn't dwell on the matter any further. Worrying too much wouldn't help, so he should focus on dealing with this man in purple armor first. this moment, the crimson-winged serpent had struggled through the storm and arrived wounded, even lacking the ability to fly again. It could only temporarily take shelter on this linghua tree. Before...
