Although most people understand that running away will also lead to death, when one person starts to run away out of fear, fear will spread among the crowd. A hint of madness appeared in Bai Yu's eyes, followed by a long roar, and a dragon's cry resounded through the heavens and earth, causing the spiritual energy to vibrate and send countless people flying.
At that moment, someone shouted, "It's a demonic dragon! He's a demon!"
"Impossible! Dragons are the strongest race in the world; we can't defeat them!"
"We have to fight even if we can't win! What the hell are you afraid of? So what if we all die? If this demonic dragon wreaks havoc on the world, all our relatives and friends might die!"
Although most people had the courage to fight to the death, some began to flee. This chaos disrupted the formation. Nangong Ling'er's face turned pale. She had considered many possibilities, but she never expected that Master Kuhai would shake the morale of the army at such a critical moment.
These monks, with their so-called compassion, thought of saving others through their own sacrifices, but they overlooked the most taboo thing on the battlefield: undermining the morale of the troops.
With so many people surrounding Bai Yu, if one person panics, everyone's morale collapses, and the army crumbles like a house of cards. Nangong Ling'er said helplessly, "No wonder my senior brother dislikes monks..."
After saying that, Nangong Ling'er picked up a fallen immortal sword, stood up, walked to a fleeing disciple, and beheaded him with a single stroke. "Anyone who dares to escape! Kill without mercy!"
At this time, Nangong Ling'er was just a woman with a low cultivation level, so she couldn't control these people at all. It was Qin Yuejiao who got up to help. Many people felt more at ease when they saw that all the sect leaders were still there.
Master Kuhai said, "Gentlemen, if we continue fighting like this, more people will die!"
Nangong Ling'er said angrily, "So what? If such an enemy were alive, wouldn't more people die? Monk Kuhai, don't underestimate the determination of any of us. This fight is on! Even if death is inevitable, I would rather die in battle than be hunted down to my death in a cowardly manner! What's the use of running away in front of an enemy of this strength? Fighting with all our might might give us a chance to survive! Today, I, Nangong Ling'er, will live and die with you all! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy, including you! Master Kuhai, don't think you're so great just because you say you're sacrificing yourself to block the enemy for us!"
Upon hearing this, Ku Hai fell silent. He seemed to realize that his words had shaken the morale of his troops, but he hadn't thought that far ahead. The disparity in strength was truly immense. Even if they managed to finish the fight, very few would survive, and they wouldn't even be able to inflict any effective damage on the enemy. All he wanted was for as many as possible to survive, so that they could preserve their strength and make a comeback in the future.
Nangong Ling'er wasn't really sure herself, but the fight had already started. She didn't care whether she could win or not; she just wanted to do her best. As she herself said, even if she died, she didn't want to die a pathetic death.
Bai Yu had no more interest in playing with them. Looking at everyone, he unleashed his full demonic power, and his voice, which resounded throughout the heavens and earth, rang out: "You ants, do you dare to fight me? No matter what methods you use, there will only be one result, and that is death!"
At this moment, Qin Yuejiao regained her ability to continue fighting and joined forces with Nangong Ling'er and other experts to besiege Bai Yu. None of these people held back anymore, but in reality, just as Master Kuhai had predicted, the disparity in strength was too great. The Nine Palaces Formation only gave them the qualification to fight Bai Yu.
But the battle became increasingly brutal, with countless people falling and dying without a complete corpse.
After the battle lasted for a while, Bai Yu suddenly realized that Nangong Ling'er was the mastermind behind this formation. Faced with this troublesome formation, he had no intention of continuing to fight and went straight for Nangong Ling'er. Ku Hai was chasing after him, trying to stop him.
But the young boy turned around and roared angrily, spitting out flames that instantly set several surrounding streets ablaze. The next moment, Bai Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he rushed to Nangong Ling'er's side.
Nangong Ling'er unleashed a barrage of golden needles, but dragon scales suddenly sprouted from Bai Yu's body. "Little girl, your tricks are no match for you!"
The golden needles were knocked to the ground, unable to pierce Bai Yu's body at all. Nangong Ling'er was stunned and began to think of a way to deal with it. Although she could still remain calm, she found that she seemed to have no way to resist the demonic dragon's methods.
