Chapter 4065: Division of Troops
estry of red, green, black and purple. It had the head of a salamander and the tail of a python. The two tails swished powerfully beneath the sea, stirring up whirlpools that flowed behind it.Let me k...>
As expected, once Lü Xiaotian revealed his intention to flee, these demonic armies naturally refused to give up the chase. After all, they had come with much fanfare - five heavenly immortals leading a formidable force of over 30,000 demon soldiers was quite impressive. In fact, the demonic army had an even larger contingent battling against the celestial forces of Jiuyang City, but the larger the force, the slower their movement became.
Furthermore, the command aspect is relatively more challenging. These five Heavenly Immortal-ranked Beiming Demon Eyes each lead a force of around six thousand, already being among the most elite units under their command. They act swiftly and are convenient to direct.
Having assembled such a grand force and traveled so far, it would be utterly humiliating if Lu Xia Tian were to escape so easily. Failing even to show him our prowess would only make us the laughingstock of all the demons in Luo Yang prison.
This situation is obviously unacceptable to these five leading-eyed demons.
It's not that easy to just chase after Lu XiaTian. After all, the army of demons comes from five relatively independent forces. Each force within the army of demons has a relatively similar level of strength, with some being slightly weaker than others, and they are also a little slower in terms of speed.
Thus, in the pursuit of Lu Xiaoteng, the differences would naturally become apparent, and these differences would grow larger and larger. Logically speaking, ordinary celestial beings under the onslaught of a massive army's momentum would see their strength and speed significantly decline. However, Lu Xiaoteng did not seem to be much affected. He remained quite troublesome for the demons.
“Xiao Cha, this Eastern speed is too fast! Chasing like this, we fear it will be difficult to catch up in a short time.” Very quickly, Wu Yan, who ranked second in strength present, communicated with the strongest one, Shi Mu.
"If we continue to dawdle like this, the morale of our large army is bound to be inevitably affected."
“Well, what do you think” the leading demonic cultivator asked, eyes twinkling.
"The only plan we have now is to divide our forces and surround him. That Eastern fellow is too slippery, if we don't split up, at this rate, we'll probably never catch up to him." Wu Yan said.
"Well then, let's split the troops into two groups for now. You lead Wu Chi and Wu Jing with three squads, while I lead Xiao Hongwen with one squad. We'll first engage them in a siege and pursuit, and then depending on the situation, we can divide into three teams. Remember to maintain close contact between each other and watch out for that Eastern fellow. He managed to escape the pursuit of Tian Xing Gong from Hong Haotian Ting, so he definitely has some real skill."Xiao Cha quickly agreed with the suggestion, even if the other party hadn't brought it up, Xiao Cha had already planned to do so.
Seeing this horde of demonic soldiers begin to split their forces, Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Since they could divide their forces once, there would naturally be a second time. If the enemy truly gathered together, it would be like a tortoise shell for Lu Xiaoteng. Even with all his tricks, he would have no way to deal with this turtle shell.

As Lu Xiaotian had anticipated, the Demon Suppression Army's divided forces failed to intercept him. Despite several attempts at encirclement, they always came up just short of trapping him, allowing Lu Xiaotian to escape each time.

After discussing with the remaining four celestial beings, Xiao Wen and the others quickly launched a second division of troops. Five squads employed a two-two-one formation to intercept Lu Xiaitian.
In this way, the space for Lu Xiaotian to maneuver would naturally be greatly reduced as pressure from the opponent increased.
However, Lu Xia Tian wasn't in a hurry. He just kept the other party at bay until later, when Lu Xia Tian was wandering around this area, he also had a certain understanding of the terrain. Under the pursuit of three squads of different sizes, Lu Xia Tian slowed down his speed in an area where evil winds howled.
Behind them stood Xiao Wen, the most powerful among them, commanding a formidable army of nearly six thousand Bah demons. The other two detachments, while each wielding double their usual strength, remained at a considerable distance from this location.

This area where evil winds breathe is just the place for Lu Xiaitian's Wind-Stilling Orb to shine. Because the orb is somewhat damaged, its power isn't very stable and, if used improperly, it could even injure the caster. Previously, celestial officers like the old goat-beard Mo Lao had kept a safe distance from the orb for this very reason.

Even a celestial being with insufficient cultivation would be drawn into the Dingfengzhu. As for escaping, it depended on luck. Sometimes when the magic patterns on the Dingfengzhu trembled and showed cracks, one could escape with little effort. Other times, the magic patterns ran smoothly, even someone with Lu Xiaoteng's current cultivation would need to expend considerable effort to break free. In certain specific circumstances, the Dingfengzhu was more tyrannical than the Demon Sound Stone, but it was not very stable.
The demonic winds here are howling fiercely, even the formidable army of demon slayers needs to form a defensive array before advancing, otherwise they will be caught in the storm. As for the Wind-Stilling Pearl, this is indeed an excellent location.
Behind them, the army led by Xiao Wen was also aware that Lu Xia Tian might not necessarily be using this roundabout tactic to allow them to split their forces and create an opportunity for him to break through. However, the three armies of the Demon-Subduing were not far apart. Although Xiao Wen and the other five Heavenly Immortals knew that Lu Xia Tian was extremely powerful in the Heavenly Immortal realm, otherwise, he would not have caused such heavy casualties to the Hong Hao Celestial Court, they only had partial information. They lost a lot of important information on their way to intercept Lu Xia Tian, so their understanding of Lu Xia Tian was not comprehensive.
Although Xiaowen and the others knew that they couldn't match Lu Xiaoteng's individual strength, they still had a large army at their disposal. Even if they couldn't compete with him, dragging him down at some cost would be no problem. As long as they could hold Lu Xiaoteng back, the combined forces of several Demon Suppression armies could encircle him. After all, he hadn't reached the Golden Immortal realm yet, and there would be nowhere for him to escape then!
It's just my own opinion, and there will always be some deviation from reality. Moreover, Lu Xia Tian's methods are vastly different from those of ordinary celestial beings, so this deviation is naturally even greater.
By the time it was discovered that Lu Xia Tian had stopped in this wind-swept land of evil, he had already hidden his presence and approached the army of demons led by Xiao Wen. When he was hundreds of miles away from the demon army, the influence of their demonic formations caused slight fluctuations in his concealed form, which Xiao Wen soon detected.
However, this distance was no longer a problem for Lu Xia Tian. As soon as Xiao Wen's eyes met his, Lu Xia Tian launched his attack. Eighteen puppet warriors were deployed directly.

The moment eighteen puppet soldiers appeared, the normally calm heart of Xiaowen jumped into his throat. No one had ever told him that Lu Xiaottian possessed such power, and the combined might of these puppets left him feeling suffocated and helpless., and their existence itself was far beyond that of ordinary celestial immortals. One was personally trained by the Starbeam Palace Master, and even a star bead in its brow carried the breath of the S...
