Chapter 372 -223: The Revolving Heavens and Earth, Blood Splatters the Long River!
Ao Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Finally, it’s done.”
“Now that we have the Ten Thousand Dragon Tide Formation, we finally have a chance to win!”
Ao Huanxiu heaved a slight sigh of relief as he saw the Ten Thousand Dragon Tide Formation was finally set up successfully. At least it wasn’t too disastrous.
Ao Huanxiu repelled Xuan Mang with his spear and shouted, “Fall back to formation!”
Over a hundred Heavenly Dragon Army soldiers retreated behind the flying Dragon Shadows, following Ao Huanxiu’s lead. Glancing over, he wondered how there could only be a bit more than a hundred Heavenly Dragon Army soldiers.
“Where are the others? Are you deaf?”
“Don’t engage, quickly fall back into formation!”
“With the help of the great formation, we will surely be able to obliterate the enemy forces!”
As he said this, he finally saw a few Heavenly Dragon Army soldiers disengage from the enemy and return to the formation.
There were hardly a few people.
Could it be the rest were all killed by the Dragon Cavalry?
Ao Huanxiu looked down at the White Bone River below, seeing one after another Heavenly Dragon Army corpses scattered in it.
Setting up the formation truly took nearly an hour, but it’s only been an hour!
In just a short hour, had the Heavenly Dragon Army been decimated by the Dragon Cavalry, completely routed?
Perhaps the Dragon Cavalry hadn’t killed all five hundred Heavenly Dragon soldiers, but at least three hundred had surely perished, and the others were scattered.
Ao Huanxiu looked back at his meager force of Heavenly Dragon Army soldiers; almost every one of them was injured, not a single one unscathed.
On the other hand, the Dragon Cavalry appeared brimming with might, currently converging towards Chen Qing.
Originally, Ao Huanxiu had planned, once the Ten Thousand Dragon Tide Formation was established, to lead the Heavenly Dragon Army through the formation from all sides, hunting down the Dragon Cavalry.
However, at this moment, his Heavenly Dragon Army soldiers were in trouble even protecting themselves, let alone hunting the Dragon Cavalry.
The Ten Thousand Dragon Tide Formation was not weak in defense and could indeed trap the enemy.
But now, he no longer had a blade to slay the enemy forces.
He leapt onto the Hanhai Dragon Boat where Ao Feng was, but before he could speak, he heard Ao Feng say, “General, we have completed the great formation, now we can start hunting the enemy forces!”
Ao Huanxiu retorted angrily, “Hunt what? Fall back slowly, retreat to the city!”
Ao Feng protested, “But General, we’ve lost hundreds of men to the Demon Clan while setting up the formation!”
Ao Huanxiu pointed at the barely more than a hundred remaining Heavenly Dragon Army soldiers, “With so few Heavenly Dragon soldiers, how do you propose we hunt?”
Ao Feng exclaimed in surprise, “General, has the Heavenly Dragon Army been reduced to this in just an hour?”
Ao Huanxiu replied, “The valour of the Dragon Cavalry is unrivalled in this world, it’s better not to engage them directly in the future.”
It was said before that the Dragon Cavalry were brave, but who would have thought they could be this formidable?
Ao Huanxiu glanced at the Dragon Cavalry trapped at the edge of the formation and smiled, “Thankfully, we have set up the formation. Now we just need to retreat slowly, and we will have followed Ji Dang’s orders.”
“Retreat!”
“We were simply luring the enemy, buying time. Now that we’ve fought a great battle, we’ve fulfilled our objective.”
Ao Feng argued, “The Heavenly Dragon Army is nearly decimated, and we’ve suffered hundreds of casualties, are we just going to retreat like this?”

Ao Huanxiu gave Ao Feng a sideways glance, “What else? Are you going to confront Qingxu?”
“Shen Changye’s strength is equal to mine, what’s his current situation?”
“He was swallowed by Qingxu in one bite, now alive or dead unknown!”
“With one charge, the Dragon Cavalry scattered the Heavenly Dragon Army. Such ferocity, even Ji Dang would have to be careful.”
“We will fight on only if Qingxu has water in his brain and charges into the formation himself!”
As he said this, he saw Ao Feng gesturing towards the distant Dragon Cavalry, “General, it seems they are really preparing to assault the formation.”
Ao Huanxiu turned around and saw Chen Qing and Xuan Mang galloping near the Dragon Cavalry, now adjusting their formation as if preparing to charge.
“Does he really dare?”
“Quickly reorganize the troops, ready for battle according to the previously practiced tactics!”
Chen Qing, riding the Green Bull, inspected the aftermath. The Dragon Cavalry had also suffered losses: dozens killed, hundreds seriously wounded. The results were due to Lu Shen and the other Undying Dragon Cavalry blocking a significant amount of attack and conquest skills.
After this battle, it’s likely that the Dragon Cavalry will have to be reduced in size.
This was something difficult for Chen Qing to accept.
The Dragon Cavalry was his capital for dominating the Death Realm, and now that it had been damaged, it angered Chen Qing.
Chen Qing returned to the forefront of the Dragon Cavalry, merging with Xuan Mang, “How many still have the strength to fight?”
Xuan Mang replied, “Those with serious injuries have gone to the ships to recuperate; those with light injuries or unharmed are all here, six hundred and eighteen in total.”
Chen Qing, riding atop the Green Bull at the front of the formation, bellowed, “The Dragon Palace has wronged us, killed our brothers. Now, they are scared, they know they can’t match us, they want to flee.”
“Loudly tell me, can we let them escape?”
At this point, with eyes bloodshot from killing, the entire Dragon Cavalry roared in unison, “No!”
Chen Qing, moving in front of the formation and pointing towards the Ten Thousand Dragon Tide Formation, continued, “Ahead is the Dragon Clan’s prized Ten Thousand Dragon Tide Formation, said to be unbreachable in three thousand years.”
The formation teemed with Dragon Shadows, a dance of ten thousand dragons, as if it was a dragon lair.
“Even if that formation is a dragon lair, I ask you, have the fierce tigers of Nanli ever been afraid?”
Asking about other matters, the Dragon Cavalry might hesitate, but when it comes to valor, they are unequaled in Nanli and naturally fearless.
The entire army roared in unison, “Not afraid!”
Chen Qing raised his sword, the Great River Sword in hand, “Brothers, follow me, let’s crush them!”
