Chapter 930: 242. Repelling the Demigod’s Army of 100,000! (7,000 words)_4

Upon hearing Yuan Gu’s words, the Peacock Divine King was momentarily at a loss for how to respond. After a brief pause, he managed a smile and said, "Honored one, perhaps we could let Suo Luo have a try first?"

"He’s just a clone descending, much safer."

Yuan Gu, hearing this, didn’t hesitate and directly gestured towards the Demigod Suo Luo.

Though Suo Luo also didn’t want to face Old Mr. Bai, since Yuan Gu personally appointed him, he could only muster his courage and go forth.

Unfortunately, as if knowing he would act, the moment he descended on Congyun City, an elderly woman wielding a Fox Head Staff immediately flew out from within.

The Demigod Suo Luo’s true body was only a Demigod of the Ascension level. Arriving in the Real World, his strength was only restored to the peak of Yang Transformation. Lacking the positional grid of his true body, he was immediately at a disadvantage when facing the Mortality-Shedding rank Hei Po.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of several Outer Realm Demigods grew even graver.

Yuan Gu tapped his finger lightly on the armrest and then said, "The other side is well-prepared. It seems they really want to force the true body of a Demigod to take action."

"Indeed, something doesn’t feel right."

When Fang Ze was explaining earlier, the other Demigods were listening quietly from the side. Now, hearing Yuan Gu’s remark, they nodded slightly.

Even though they suspected some trickery, with the troops already at the doorstep, leaving in embarrassment didn’t sit well with them.

So, for a moment, the battlefield was at a stalemate. The defenders in Congyun City remained still, and the army of Tuoya State did not move. The entire battlefield was silent, except for the Demigod Suo Luo being chased around like a dog by Hei Po.

After over ten minutes had passed, Yuan Gu finally seemed to have made some decision. He raised his hand and then said in a deep voice, "Alright, let Suo Luo return. Since we can’t discern the reality of Congyun City, there’s no need to take this risk. Let’s just attack from another direction!"

Upon hearing Yuan Gu’s words, the Demigods present all breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly passed down the orders.

The Awakener army, being inherently less burdened, was able to swiftly pack up and begin a gradual retreat right after the orders were given, not even taking more than ten minutes.

At that moment, within Congyun City, witnessing this scene, the residents, who had been extremely tense since the battle began, burst into cheers!

The jubilant atmosphere even infected the guards on the city walls, who all stood proudly, welcoming the victory.

At this time, in the entire Congyun City, only Fang Ze was out of place with the others. Unlike the ordinary citizens who were celebrating with enthusiasm, he remained tense and extremely vigilant!

His anxiety prompted Black Bull to give him an odd look.

However, Fang Ze did not offer an explanation. Knowing Yuan Gu’s character in detail from Dahei Jialuo, he didn’t believe someone as naturally suspicious as Yuan Gu would leave just like that!

Thus, Fang Ze maintained his vigilant stance, watching as the army of Tuoya State slowly retreated.

meters, 200 meters, 300 meters.....

It seemed the army of Tuoya State was indeed retreating. It also seemed Fang Ze might have overthought things.

meters, 500 meters, 1000 meters....

When the 100,000-strong army had retreated a kilometer away from Congyun City, their figures growing smaller and smaller, even the most cautious people in Congyun City finally relaxed.

Suddenly, black flames ignited above the skies of Congyun City! Within the flames, a massive hand without Flesh and Blood, composed only of bones, descended straight towards Congyun City!

At that moment, the Power of Laws surrounding Congyun City seemed unable to withstand the enormous force, bursting apart in an explosive manner!

In that instant, the defensive structures overhead Congyun City shattered with a "crack," unable to hold for even a second!

In that instant, everyone from Black Bull and Hei Po, masters of the Mortality-Shedding rank, to the ordinary residents of Congyun City, couldn’t react in time. They could only watch in horror!

And in that very moment! Fang Ze stood tall on the city wall, eyes sharp as daggers, and suddenly snapped open his folding fan!

On the folding fan was a gorge several dozen meters deep, infused with Old Mr. Bai’s lifetime of strength and effort in one strike!

In that moment, a mysterious and profound intention gathered above Congyun City, as if a blade was slashing upwards from the city wall, aimed at cleaving the heavens!

In an instant, truly just an instant!

Feeling that aura, the massive hand in the sky abruptly disappeared as if fleeing. The all-consuming flames and skeletal hand vanished in a blink, as if everything was merely an illusion!

And Fang Ze still didn’t stop. Playing his role fully, he moved his hand slightly, and a moment later, an elderly figure dressed in white appeared behind him, standing there, hands clasped behind his back, gazing in the direction of the retreating army of Tuoya State....

At this moment, the army of Tuoya State seemed to have also seen that old man. They fled like their backsides were on fire, retreating at double the speed as before, disappearing quickly into the distance....

Just like Yuan Gu had said earlier, as the superior side, the Outer Realm Demigods had no need to risk their precious lives going head-to-head with Old Mr. Bai. They could change directions and slowly erode this world with the same result.

Old Mr. Bai could at most protect this city, but couldn’t change the entire battlefield!

.....

Meanwhile, at the same time Congyun City repelled the Demigods’ 100,000-strong army, at the Provincial Government of Xida State, within the Chairperson’s residence.

A Black Clothed member of the Special Service Department came running swiftly and shouted, "Report! Latest battle report from Congyun City!"
