Chapter 353: Chapter 249 Temporary Ceasefire_4

A hundred tall barbarian soldiers fell to the ground, turned into charred corpses.

Seeing this scene,

Xu Yuan’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Damn it, he had slapped a Mortal Transcendence prince in the face back in the Imperial Palace.

But the next moment, Xu Yuan looked up at the Protective City Formation above the sky.

Even if Li Zhaoyuan was a Mortal Transcendence expert, he didn’t believe the man would dare to be so ostentatious in a war of this scale.

Because the next instant a high-level cultivator took action would be met with a bombardment from the military formation.

And just as Xu Yuan thought,

As soon as Li Zhaoyuan’s Dao Domain unfolded and before his moves could cease, a colossal serpent apparition suddenly burst forth from the smokescreen!

The sturdy city walls turned instantly into powder the moment they touched the serpent’s body, infiltrating Li Zhaoyuan’s widespread Thunder Domain. Thick lightning arcs struck the giant serpent apparition but couldn’t halt its advance in the slightest.

Regrettably, the Protective City Formation in the sky, which had nearly come to a halt, reappeared at this moment.

A thick shield promptly materialized around Li Zhaoyuan.

The shield collided with the serpent, and the interweaving forces of Origin Qi wrestled, the immense shock causing the entire East City to tremble slightly!

Xu Yuan steadied himself and instantly understood what the Second Prince intended to do.

He deliberately restrained the Origin Qi of the Protective City Formation, taking action at the critical moment himself, and with the protection of the great formation, would use his own strength to crush the morale of the barbarian troops in one fell swoop.

The barbarian general controlling the Military Totem below naturally wasn’t slower than Xu Yuan.

After Li Zhaoyuan had killed nearly a hundred more barbarian soldiers, a giant tortoise shell apparition coalesced and blocked in front of the lightning arc transformed by Li Zhaoyuan.

The Thunder Domain quickly retracted, and the bright lightning in the sky gradually turned into a frightening purple. Li Zhaoyuan’s speed around his body suddenly surged once more!

And at that moment, an invisible, immense pressure descended from the Protective City Formation in the sky.

The tortoise shell apparition cracked the instant it intermingled with the lightning arc and the heavy pressure, and then rapidly spread until, within a few breaths, it shattered with a thunderous collapse, dissipating into scattered starlight in the air.

Just as Xu Yuan thought Li Zhaoyuan would continue his solo show, he suddenly ceased and flew back into the gatehouse.

Xu Yuan, watching Li Zhaoyuan still flickering with flashes of lightning, asked with a smile,

"Second Highness, has the Protective City Formation completely run out of Origin Qi reserves?"

Li Zhaoyuan too responded honestly,

"Of course, this prince wouldn’t dare act recklessly in such a military formation. The barbarian morale should be breaking now, the rest will be left to Vice General Chang."

After this turn of events, the attack and defense situation on the city walls once again changed.

Shortly afterward,

Excited cries rose up from atop the city wall, reaching Xu Yuan’s ears:

"The barbarians have retreated!"

"The barbarians have retreated!"

"Long live the Second Prince!"

"Second Highness... may your martial fortune flourish!!"

"......"

Hearing these shouts, Xu Yuan turned back and greeted Li Zhaoyuan with a cupped-fist salute,

"Second Highness, a bountiful harvest indeed. Your cultivation is so profound; truly, it leaves Changtian apprehensive."

Li Zhaoyuan still wore that previous calm demeanor, his face slightly pale as he smiled faintly,

"Third Young Master needs not be polite. This time, this prince borrowed some external forces."

After a pause,

Li Zhaoyuan seemed to hear something, glanced in the direction of South City, and said with a light laugh,

"My imperial sister has already entered the city too. She... asked me to bring you, Third Young Master, over."

Xu Yuan did not move upon hearing this, but smirked and asked,

"Oh? How are you communicating?"

"The Protective City Formation. We of the Imperial Family can control the formation; naturally, we can use it to communicate within the city."

Li Zhaoyuan pointed above toward the sky and continued with a warm smile, "Of course, Third Young Master can also have Vice General Qing arrange for someone to take you there."

Xu Yuan gave the other a deep look and laughed heartily,

"Look at you, Second Highness, speaking as if we are outsiders."

With that said,

Xu Yuan turned his gaze toward Vice General Qing at his side, who was looking pale from the backlash of the military formation, and called out,

"Vice General Qing, I am going to meet Qingyan with the Second Prince now. Take care."

Dragged by Li Zhaoyuan’s Origin Qi, the two of them quickly arrived at the military camp of the Feathered Forest Army in South City.

When they approached the entrance to that enormous camp, belonging to Li Qingyan,

Before they could speak to the guards outside, Li Qingyan’s rustling voice came from within the camp,

"Second brother, wait a moment; let the Prince Consort come in first."
