513: Chapter 181: Three Men Form a Formation!

Ding——

Li Ping’an lay on the ground, a patch of grass crushed beneath him.

The incessant ringing in his ears enveloped him, rendering the surrounding sounds inaudible for the moment.

Several scenes flickered across his vision.

That strike, akin to the first rays of the rising sun, issued forth by the Human Emperor, seemed ever-present before his eyes;

After the Human Emperor’s appearance, the celestial soldiers of the Human Race fought valiantly to their last breath against the enemy.

The Demon Race sustained heavy casualties but, driven by the discordant droning of the “Soul-Devouring Art,” knew not to retreat and surged toward the celestial soldiers in a frenzy.

The battleground had turned into a gruesome meat grinder.

Li Ping’an could not recall exactly how long he had been fighting; the celestial soldiers around him fell one by one, and the Qi of the True Immortal Centurions waned, yet their swordplay became increasingly sharp.

Eventually, his vision cleared, and he broke through the encirclement.

Glancing back, he saw the ground littered with the corpses of monsters and heaps of severed limbs.

Only about forty percent of the original hundred-man squad remained.

They merged with another equally battered hundred-man squad to form a new one.

Taking turns as the vanguard, the Centurions led their men back into the fray against the demon soldiers.

At last, the Human Race’s celestial army gained a decisive advantage.

Before Li Ping’an could catch his breath, urgent horn blasts came from the direction of Broken Dawn City.

The tide of battle there was the opposite.

The Chiliarch of this location urgently redirected celestial soldiers for assistance.

The first wave of reinforcements composed of six hundred-man squads darted toward Broken Dawn City.

Then, a colossal wolf’s paw descended from the sky, smashing out of nowhere onto two of the hundred-man squads.

The last image that flashed before Li Ping’an’s eyes was of nearly a hundred celestial soldiers and three Centurions, all exerting their full strength to activate the Formation, colliding with the wolf’s paw before they could adjust it.

Afterward, it ended up like this.

Li Ping’an took a heavy fall and lay on the ground for quite a while, unable to move; his Primordial Spirit was in a haze.

Thankfully, the Demon Race’s master who had launched the sneak attack was blocked by a master of the Human Race.

Had there been even a slight follow-up strike, it would surely have triggered the reaction of the Xuanyuan Scabbard and exposed the whereabouts of him, a Great Enlightenment prospective immortal.

Whether a second-grade Inspector would become a target for the Demon Race, Li Ping’an was unsure.

But one thing Li Ping’an was certain of was that if he were to reveal the Xuanyuan Scabbard, the Demon Race would swarm him, treating his head as a significant achievement.

Ding——

“Master, Master?”

“Your Primordial Spirit is unharmed, and there are no enemies nearby.”

It was the Myriad Manifestation Chart and the Cangyue Bead.

“Cough!”

Li Ping’an turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The dizziness subsided considerably, and he sat up with effort, forcibly stimulating his Spiritual Sense.

There were no enemies nearby.

This place was between two battlefields.

The hundred-man squads that had previously rushed to support Broken Dawn City had already reached the other battleground.

However, the situation had not materially improved.

The Demon Race committed a heavy force there;

Well-hidden among the demon soldiers, their masters had struck successfully before being detected by the Human Race’s masters, breaching a gap in Broken Dawn City’s Formation.

Within the city were millions of mortals from a thousand miles around.

Li Ping’an swallowed two Elixir Pills and began searching for survivors nearby.

Bodies lay in front of him, at his feet, and embedded into the earth.

Most of the fallen celestial soldiers had their Primordial Spirits shattered by the immense force of the wolf’s paw at the moment their Formation broke.

He staggered to his feet, heading toward the position of a Centurion, passing a few semi-conscious celestial soldiers, to whom he flicked a few life-preserving Elixir Pills.

Although the Centurion was breathing, half his body was shriveled.

Li Ping’an, gasping for breath, knelt beside him, vigilant of his surroundings.

He took out two Elixir Pills, directly catalyzed them with mana, and transferred them into the Centurion’s body.

People began to move about in the background.

These were the surviving celestial soldiers, assisting others in the vicinity.

“Xiong Er, you certainly have plenty of immortal power.”

A deep voice came from nearby.

Li Ping’an’s Dao heart inexplicably found some peace as he looked toward the nearby pit.

There, Centurion Fu Yu emerged, staggering forward a few steps, and sat down beside a celestial soldier’s corpse, leaning against it as he caught his breath.

“Golden Immortal Demon.”

He uttered these four words in a muffled tone, then added quietly:

“Thankfully, it was just a knockoff Golden Immortal, not self-cultivated, otherwise we’d all be lying here stiff.”

Seeing that the True Immortal before him had stabilized his injury, Li Ping’an quickly approached Fu Yu.

Fu Yu frowned at him, “Why are your injuries so light…”

“I had a few treasures on me.”

Li Ping’an gave a simple explanation and wrapped the Elixir Pills in mana before offering them to Fu Yu, who opened his mouth and let the pills enter.

“Good pills…”

Fu Yu waved his hand:

“My squad will rest for a while.

Go help the other celestial soldiers, and I will report the Elixir Pills you have used when we get back.”

Li Ping’an bowed in respect and turned to sprint toward another Centurion.

— Their hundred-man squad had merged before; they had two Centurions, and when the wolf’s paw struck, there were three True Immortal Realm Centurions among the two hundred-man squads.

These three True Immortals were surely more resilient than those Celestial Immortal Realm celestial soldiers.

Streaks of light flew through the sky, marking the return of the troops from their previous engagements to Broken Dawn City for support.

A small team of ten celestial soldiers hastened down to aid the wounded in this vicinity.

Soon, they noticed Li Ping’an, who was moving confidently about.

They left behind several bottles of Elixir Pills, a heap of healing bandages, and hurriedly advanced to support Broken Dawn City.

No further words were necessary.

Moments later.

Li Ping’an shifted over a dozen survivors to sit beside Centurion Fu Yu.

Those who had survived were all Celestial Immortals of the fourth rank and above, as well as three True Immortal experts.

However, all were severely wounded, with their lives hanging by a thread, and some had damaged their Dao Foundations.

Li Ping’an fed each one an Elixir Pill, flicked out twelve triangular flags, and arranged a simple concealing Formation.
