CHAPTER 428: Who on Earth Did That to Me?
The battlefield was more chaotic than ever!
As Yu Han's army rushed in, a portion of them were immediately knocked out by the poisonous smoke. These soldiers were already filled with rage and sorrow, and this only made them more violent…
In the midst of the battle, it seemed as if millions had lost their sanity, charging and killing with wild abandon!
At first, Tie Butian also charged in with the shadows and her troops, but when she sensed something was wrong and the poisonous smoke began to rise, she suddenly felt a wave of unease. Two shadows fought desperately to save Tie Butian.
As the thick smoke rolled in, more and more people lost their senses and rushed into the battlefield, yet Tie Butian and the two shadows remained unharmed.
Every time the poisonous smoke swept by, a faint glow would shimmer in front of Tie Butian's chest, shrouding her in light, and the shadows experienced the same. The three were puzzled, only later realizing that it was the Mysterious Sun Jade sent by Chu Yang that had taken effect.
This Mysterious Sun Jade actually had such a function.
Once they retreated, there was basically nothing wrong. However, the overwhelming stench of blood still made Tie Butian feel uncomfortable; her face turned pale as nausea rose in her chest. After dry heaving several times and moving farther away, she finally calmed down.
The shadows looked at Tie Butian with a mix of strangeness and concern.
Now, only tens of thousands were left to guard Tie Butian; the battlefield was not far away, and it wouldn't take long for the cavalry to charge over. Yet, the crucial figure of Tie Butian was right here, and shockingly, none of the millions of Great Zhao Army soldiers even glanced this way.
Tie Butian steadied her mind, focused on the battlefield, and observed the terrain around her. Suddenly, she realized with great alarm and pity: "So it turns out… Diwu Qingrou has combined her camp with the towering mountains behind to set up a seven killing formation! Diwu Qingrou is truly ruthless!"
"Seven Killing Formation?" the shadow asked in confusion.
"The Seven Killing Formation, as the name implies, is a formation of extreme slaughter, requiring the power of living beings to activate. In this formation, the more people that die, the stronger the formation becomes; and Diwu Qingrou has set up so many confounding drugs within it, making it even harder for people to retreat… In the end, it would only lead to total annihilation…"
As Tie Butian spoke, her face suddenly changed: "Shadow, you must enter the formation immediately and tell Uncle Wang to withdraw! Other soldiers, retreat as many as possible; this formation is already set, and staying inside means death!"
The shadow responded and leapt into action, turning into a streak of light as they dashed into the military formation.
Tie Butian watched with concern, suddenly sighing heavily: "Eight hundred thousand lives… Diwu Qingrou, what on earth do you want? Why make such a mad decision?"
At this moment, Tie Butian naturally did not know that Diwu Qingrou had already left this place, that once stunning blue robe that had shaken the entire Lower Three Days was now drifting far away…
After a long while, the shadow burst forth, completely covered in blood, carrying someone out at lightning speed. It was Cheng Ziang, this decisive general who had been knocked unconscious.
"What happened?" Tie Butian exclaimed in shock.
"I knocked him out…" the shadow chuckled dryly, "He was also affected by the drugs…"
"That's good." Tie Butian let out a sigh of relief. Her gaze shifted to another direction: "Why haven't we seen Chu Imperial Seat's forces yet?"
"Chu Imperial Seat is exceptionally clever and has long-term strategies; he likely anticipated the situation here and chose to hold back. However, the most elite forces we have in Iron Cloud… are probably only the three hundred thousand troops under Chu Imperial Seat now…"
The shadow sighed.
A hint of comfort and pride flashed in Tie Butian's eyes as she said softly, "Chu Imperial Seat always makes people feel at ease."
