Chapter 426: Trump card vs trump card, fortunately retreat in time
"Come again!"
"Fantian Yin, smash it for me!"
After a round of hard fighting with the military killing formation of the Zheng family army, Wan'er had already figured out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses. She was eager to fight, and with a thought, she threw her life artifact, the Fantian Seal, backwards, drawing an arc, and once again gathered strength to bombard the twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls above the enemy formation in front of her!
Before the attack, she and Li Dingguo had already assigned their opponents.
There is no doubt that the strongest combat power of the Zheng family army came from the 90,000 black slave soldiers led by Zheng Zhilong himself.
If one wants to suppress such a powerful enemy, it would be safer for Li Dingguo to deal with it personally.
As for the two military killing formations led by Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao, there were actually not many elite soldiers in them, less than 100,000, and the rest were just a mob.
Although these rabble dared to fight and kill, they were completely incomparable to the soldiers of the Restoration Army.
Now the military killing formation led by Wan'er is facing off against the military formation led by the brothers Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao. Even if it is a one against two situation, she is not afraid at all.
"Am I afraid of you? Dinghai Shenzhu, go!"
"Second brother, let's kill this big white tiger first, and then we can help eldest brother kill Li Dingguo!"
Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao had just fought the enemy head-on, but were slightly inferior. They were very dissatisfied. When they saw the big white tiger transformed from the enemy's military killing formation coming straight towards them, they became furious and shouted.
With the brothers working together, the two of them turned their minds and manipulated their six respective innate artifacts, the Dinghai Divine Pearl, to face the Da Yin artifact that was falling on their heads. The huge tail of the silver dragon transformed by the killing array magic was raised high and suddenly lashed towards the attacking white tiger!
"boom!"
The twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls that were locked by the power of the Fantian Seal collided with each other again, making a deafening explosion, and then were thrown backwards without any suspense.
In this battle of innate divine weapons, both sides were still evenly matched.
Although Wan'er's cultivation level surpassed the two Zheng brothers by one major realm, and the power of her innate magic weapon was no less than that of the twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls, the number of soldiers and level five generals forming the enemy's army far exceeded her own, so she could not gain an advantage.
“Bang!”…
Two six hundred zhang long silver dragons fought with the seven hundred zhang long white tiger. The white tiger's sharp claws flashed with golden light as they collided head-on with the two attacking dragon tails. Both sides were blown away by the other's enormous power.
The duel between the three huge mythical beasts caused a huge shock wave, which caused huge waves on the sea surface in the battlefield area, which were hundreds of feet high!
Countless water splashes spread out, and the scene was like a heavy rainstorm. The scene was very shocking!
The three divine beasts here were fighting evenly, but the 90,000 black slave Taoist soldiers led by Zheng Zhilong nearby were at an absolute disadvantage when facing the military killing formation led by Li Dingguo.
All I saw was that under the continuous bombardment of the seven-hundred-foot-tall dark yellow bell, Zheng Zhilong's army formation turned into a giant silver dragon and was constantly blown away!
It was knocked into the air and then smashed into the sea. The scene was extremely touching!
If it weren't for the protection of the innate sea-covering formation composed of twelve Dinghai Shenzhu, Zheng Zhilong would not only have been defeated, but would most likely have died on the spot!
"How can this be?"
"The innate magical power formation that comes with my life artifact, which can confine time and space, is actually ineffective against Li Dingguo's big bell artifact?"
Zheng Zhilong was so angry and unbelievable when he was bombarded and crushed by the opponent.
His natal artifact is the Dinghai Divine Pearl, and its killer weapon is its own magical formation: the Innate Covering Sea Formation.
This formation can not only trap and kill powerful enemies across levels, but also block the time and space within the formation space, leaving enemies trapped in the formation with no escape.
Ever since he obtained this set of innate divine artifacts, he has killed countless enemies with the help of this magical method.
In the past, whether it was against the white Hu people or the pirate groups on the southeast coast, they were always successful.
But today, when facing Li Dingguo's natal artifact, the big bell, the innate sea-covering formation was completely ineffective!
Not to mention trapping the opponent, now he doesn’t even have the strength to fight back!
Whenever the innate sea-covering formation was activated, the legendary Xuanhuang Chaos Bell would emit a magical sound wave, which would directly imprison the innate formation for a moment, making its power completely ineffective for a moment, and then it would directly crash into and blow away the big silver dragon protected by the twelve Dinghai Divine Pearls!
If the soldiers led by Zheng Zhilong were not black slave Taoist soldiers comparable to the dead soldiers of the Sauron tribe, and the blood and energy that maintained the killing formation were not very strong, the army formation would have been broken up by Li Dingguo's series of critical strikes.
"Humph!"
"My natal divine weapon Dinghai Divine Pearl?"
"Innate Sea Covering Formation?"
While maintaining a strong offensive, Li Dingguo sneered in his heart, "Although this set of innate artifacts is very good, it is far inferior to my Xuanhuang Chaos Bell!"
"In order to win this naval battle, I spent 260 points of luck three days ago to successively remove the fifth and sixth seals of the Xuanhuang Primal Chaos Bell and the Human Emperor Cauldron. This is no joke!"
As a veteran of many battles, how could he not be aware of the importance of this naval battle with Zheng's army?
Since the beginning of spring today, he and Wan'er went south and personally led the soldiers to launch an attack on Shandong. Now they have almost occupied the entire Qi and Lu lands. By conquering cities and territories, they have gained hundreds of luck points and pushed their own luck to a height of nearly a thousand points.
In order to ensure that he could surpass Huang Taiji in terms of luck, he had to retain enough luck and not consume it easily.
But in order to completely defeat Zheng's army, the dominant maritime force on the southeast coast, he would not be so rigid and inflexible.
There is no need to think too much. The Zheng family army, which was able to dominate the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, was definitely not as simple as it seemed. It was not surprising that they had some hidden cards.
To be on the safe side, Li Dingguo, after repeated consideration, decided to spend 260 points of luck value to successively unlock the double seals of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell and the Human Emperor Cauldron to prevent any unexpected situations from happening and ensure victory.
Now that the seven seals of the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell have been released, its power has greatly increased, especially its inherent magical power: suppressing time and space. Its power has been more than ten times higher than before.
Not to mention that Zheng Zhilong's set of Dinghai Divine Pearls only has twelve of them. Even if all thirty-six of them were gathered together, as long as he did not have the cultivation level of the middle sixth level, he would not be able to exert any power of the innate formation of his own natal artifact if he faced Li Dingguo head-on.
The reason why he has not been killed and is still resisting is because of the powerful fighting capacity of the 90,000 black slave Taoist soldiers, which has enabled him to hold out for so long.
"I don't know how the Zheng brothers trained these black slave soldiers who are comparable to humanoid spirit soldiers. How come they are so tough?"
Li Dingguo once again activated his own divine weapon, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, and bombarded the protective shield formed by the Dinghai Divine Pearl, blowing the giant silver dragon covered by the formation away for several miles.
However, he still failed to cause much damage to them and failed to break up the enemy's army formation. He was very curious and thought to himself.
This military killing formation formed by 90,000 black slave soldiers was too tough. You know, with Li Dingguo's current cultivation level, personally leading a military killing formation composed of 200,000 elite soldiers, it was enough to crush most enemies that were several times larger than himself.
In addition, with the help of his innate magical weapon, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell, whose power has increased more than tenfold, even if Zheng's army's 500,000 soldiers formed a formation to attack, it would be impossible to stop them under normal circumstances.
But now, he was greatly surprised that an army consisting of only 90,000 black men had blocked his serial attacks of killing array and magical powers one after another.
Even though the other side had no power to fight back and could only be beaten, it was enough to show the complexity of this black army.
"ah!"……
Zheng Zhilong was almost driven crazy!
Being beaten up and down by Li Dingguo like a ball was unbearable because it was so humiliating that one could not understand it unless one experienced it personally.
After all, Zheng Zhilong was the leader of a dominant force on the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty. The battle that seemed like a child's play in front of everyone would be a huge blow to his prestige in the army in the eyes of the soldiers on both sides.
"If they continue to attack for ten rounds, the military killing formation I am in charge of will surely collapse!"
His powerful spiritual sense saw that the black slave Taoist soldiers in his formation began to bleed at the corners of their mouths, and they had obviously suffered internal injuries.
These humanoid war weapons, which were refined through special means, have very strong bodies, but they are still flesh and blood after all.
It is impossible to be completely immune to damage under constant attacks that exceed their endurance limit.
Every attack launched by Li Dingguo almost exceeded this limit. It was very normal for these black slave soldiers to suffer internal injuries.
If this continues, within a quarter of an hour, our army will collapse. Not only will these black slave soldiers die, but we will also be unable to escape.
What else can I do?
Since we have tested that we cannot withstand the enemy's frontal attack, we have no choice but to keep running.
As for whether he could escape from the relentless pursuit of the Fuxing Army, Zheng Zhilong did not consider it. He just had to get through this hurdle first.
"Whoosh!"
When he was once again blasted into the air by the dark yellow bell, Zheng Zhilong used all his strength to drive the military killing array to transform into a large silver dragon. The huge dragon tail swung, turned in the air, and flashed to the vicinity of the two silver dragons that were fighting with Wan'er. He hurriedly shouted, "Ah Hu, Ah Bao, this is impossible. We must return to the fleet immediately! Quick!"
While transmitting telepathic messages to his two younger brothers, he controlled the silver dragon's huge tail and swung it violently, forcing back the big white tiger that was attacking again, then turned around and leaped towards his own fleet.
"Big brother!"
"Abao, hurry up and follow me!"
When Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao were fighting with the army led by Wan'er, they had already seen how powerful Li Dingguo was and had already begun to think of retreating. After seeing their eldest brother escape, the dark yellow bell came flying towards them again and they were immediately frightened. They quickly controlled the military killing formation to transform into a silver dragon, following Zheng Zhilong and flying towards their own fleet!
"Where to go!"
Wan'er, who was in the middle of a killing spree, became furious when she saw the enemy fleeing without a fight. She activated the Fantian Seal, which had been enlarged to a size of over two hundred feet, and fiercely smashed it down at the three giant silver dragons fleeing in front of her!
"Dong dong..."
At the same time, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell rang, and a sound wave containing special power instantly enveloped the three silver dragons in front and imprisoned this space and time for a moment.
"Oh!"
Influenced by the sound of the bell, the three fleeing six-hundred-foot silver dragons stopped running for a moment and were hit directly by the attacking seal!
"puff!"……
The three silver dragons simultaneously spat out a blood mist, and with the momentum of being blown away, they fled even faster, and in the blink of an eye they returned to the large fleet thirty miles away.
The twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls that were tightly guarding the bodies of the three silver dragons combined together under the flashing light, and the innate sea-covering formation with its own magical power expanded instantly, covering the entire Zheng family fleet, replacing the protective formation of the Zheng family treasure ship, and continuing to withstand the concentrated fire attacks of the psychic artillery of the Renaissance Army fleet.
"puff!"……
The Zheng family soldiers returned to their own fleet. After Zheng Zhilong and his three remaining brothers disbanded the army, they raised their heads and spat out blood, then fell to the ground.
When they just suffered a critical hit from Wan'er's seal artifact, they all suffered serious internal injuries, including the three brothers of the Zheng family.
The fundamental reason was that when the Fantian Seal attacked, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell suddenly imprisoned time and space for a moment, making the Xiantian Fuhai Formation ineffective for a moment, and all the Zheng family army soldiers in the formation inevitably suffered critical damage.
"Brother, we can't defeat them now, and the Restoration Army's fleet is chasing us. What should we do next?"
"Yes! We have already lost nearly 200 mid-level treasure ships and nearly 100,000 soldiers. Now, each of our generals has suffered serious internal injuries. What should we do?"
A moment later, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao, who had each taken a precious medicine and recovered from their injuries, said to Zheng Zhilong with a dejected look on their faces.
They are now trying to maintain the magical innate formation that comes with their own divine weapon and continue to resist the concentrated fire attacks of the Renaissance Army, while feeling anxious and uneasy in their hearts.
The confidence and arrogance before the war were shattered by the enemy in one battle. The current situation shows that it will be difficult to even escape unscathed this time.
"Zheng Xing, Zheng Cai, you must immediately command the fleet and retreat directly to Fuzhou Yuegang in the south!"
"We won't go to the Haizhou East Sea Base, lest we get caught by the Fuxing Army after we enter the harbor."
Although Zheng Zhilong had been hit so hard by the enemy that he began to doubt his life, he still managed to remain calm and give orders.
He knew that as the leader of an army, he must not panic now.
Otherwise, Zheng’s army would undoubtedly be in danger of being wiped out.
He immediately overturned the original plan to withdraw and reorganize.
The most urgent task is to lead the Zheng family’s fleet to evacuate back to their base in Yuegang, Fuzhou as soon as possible, so that they can truly feel at ease.
