As expected, the cultivators who chose to break through were soon besieged and killed on the spot, causing alarm and fear among many cultivators.
However, at this time, they had no choice but to follow the array cultivators of Crane Wings Camp, watching the surrounding siege tighten and the space for survival compress, a feeling of slowly walking towards death that chilled the heart.
Only the hundred members of Crane Wings Camp remained calm because they knew the power of the Crane Wings Array. On such a battlefield, the Crane Wings Array was unmatched at the beginner level, so their task was simple: attract as many enemies as possible to catch them off guard when the array was formed, allowing for greater gains.
The time had come.
Just as Lu Ye was ready to order the array to be formed, a shrill scream suddenly came from the distance.
This kind of scream was not uncommon on the battlefield, but the location of it made Lu Ye's heart tighten. He hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.
Only to see that the originally intense Fusion Battlefield had already concluded.
Du Feng's face was pale, blood spattered across the sky, and even one of his arms was nowhere to be seen.
Not far in front of him, the Insect Race Dao Fusion cultivator was also covered in blood, clearly not in good shape, but his expression was fierce. At this moment, he held in his hand a torn-off arm, none other than Du Feng's severed limb.
Their eyes met, Du Feng's fearful gaze facing the increasingly fierce and terrifying Insect Race Dao Fusion who then brought Du Feng's severed arm to his mouth, biting it ferociously, blood splattering as if an Asura had descended upon the world.
Du Feng's face turned blue, then white, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and turned to flee into the depths of stellar space.
He just fled like that!
This scene made Lu Ye's brow furrow as he watched.
Things were going badly.
Their own Dao Fusion was the strongest force of this stronghold. With him restraining the opponent's Dao Fusion, the beginner level cultivators had space to contend with the enemy. But now Du Feng had fled, leaving no one to restrain the Insect Race Dao Fusion. Once he attacked the crowd, it would inevitably result in a river of blood.
This Du Feng... is simply cowardly! Lu Ye gritted his teeth silently.
He was not without the strength to continue fighting; having achieved Dao Fusion, losing an arm was nothing significant. As long as the Dao force remained, there was naturally the capital to continue fighting. But he was evidently intimidated by his opponent and thus decisively fled.
If it were a simple one-on-one fight and he chose to flee to save his life, it would be understandable. But he was the strongest force in this stronghold, and now many battle alliance cultivators were trapped. His escape equaled abandoning those stronghold cultivators, leaving them with no option but to face death given the current situation!
"Kill!" Naturally, the Insect Race Dao Fusion was unwilling to let Du Feng go like that. Seeing Du Feng fleeing, he immediately shouted, tossed away Du Feng's severed arm, and flashed to chase him.
At this moment, the numerous cultivators within the stronghold looked utterly hopeless, their faces ashen.
Even those who had just supported this place and had been following behind Crane Wings Camp to slay the enemy were also at a loss.
Everyone was clearly thrown into disarray by Du Feng's actions, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Many people silently regretted it, thinking that if they had known, they would never have come to support this place, finding themselves trapped now and unable to escape.
Just then, the enemy's siege was complete, surrounding from all sides with Blood Seas sweeping in, leaving Lu Ye and the others with no room to maneuver. The chaotic swirling auras within those Blood Seas surged and swirled, carrying murderous intent.
"Form the array!" Lu Ye whispered.
The situation did not develop in the worst direction because the Insect Race Dao Fusion clearly wanted more to kill Du Feng. This was a normal choice; to him, it appeared that the human race's beginners couldn't pose any significant threat anymore. As long as he could kill Du Feng, it would be a great victory.
This gave space for the Crane Wings Camp members to play.
Blood color obscured vision, nothing else was visible, causing panic among the supporting cultivators who were not new to the battlefield and certainly knew what it meant to be surrounded by the Blood Race's Blood Sea.
Yet in this boundless blood color, a glimmer of light suddenly blossomed, accompanied by a clear crane cry, startling everyone as they didn't know what happened.
With a crash, something seemed to shatter deeply within the mind.
The blood color suddenly shattered, accompanied by dense, urgent screams and a clearing of the sky.
A cultivator staring in shock at some distance ahead saw a massive crane silhouette, covered in a layer of hazy light, wings spanning hundreds of miles, majestically spreading its wings to dissolve the surrounding Blood Seas like snow under the sun, along with the enemies' lives!
On closer inspection, it was not a crane silhouette but a big array formed by the interconnected qi of many cultivators. The so-called crane silhouette was actually the manifestation of the array cultivators' collective forces, vivid and lifelike!
"Crane Wings Array!" A knowledgeable cultivator promptly exclaimed.
Thousands of years ago, it was no secret that the Huang family of the Four Preeminent Noble Families spent vast human, financial, and effort resources to develop the Crane Wings Array. Many had heard of it, so even if they had never seen it formed before, before the Divine Crane, they could quickly recognize it.
Confusion, shock, followed by excitement, ensued. Those who thought they were doomed now felt hope again, and those many cultivators beside the Crane Wings Array became excited.
Even those trapped in the stronghold, filled with despair, brightened in their eyes.
The Divine Crane curved its neck, its proud head pecked down as if pecking at a small insect, causing a Blood Sea to crumble. The Blood Race and Insect Race hidden within were instantly decimated.
The Divine Crane flapped its wings, sending flows of light between and smashing all in its path.
The combined power above the Thirteenth Dao meant that everyone had the enhancement of their own top-grade Dao artifact, making it even stronger than the Crane Wings Array from more than half a year ago.
Such divine might, nothing can stop it!
The Blood Sea of the Blood Race, which was originally effective, became useless with the presence of Lu Ye.
Less than ten breaths after the array formation was established, a hollow area was cut through what was once an impenetrable encirclement. The Blood Sea further away writhed, as if encountering a natural enemy, retreating uncontrollably.
With continuous slaughter, Wang Xun's laughter resounded. The last Crane Wings Array already felt powerful, but this time he felt not just strong, but invincible!
Fifteen Dao power, even with a top-grade Dao artifact's augmentation, wasn't this terrifying!
He swung his Dao artifact freely, and the Insect and Blood Races in his way shattered like bubbles.
"Get inside the formation!" Lu Ye's voice suddenly sounded.
The cultivators who had been following behind the Crane Wings Camp to provide support were momentarily stunned, but they immediately reacted, moving quickly into the Crane Shadow.
The array formed by a hundred people radiated about 30 miles, with large gaps between everyone, naturally able to accommodate numerous cultivators, providing shelter.
As long as the array was unbroken, the cultivators hiding within the Crane Shadow would not be in life-threatening danger. They could freely advance and retreat with the Crane Shadow.
Finally safe, many cultivators took a long sigh of relief. What seemed like a certain death situation now had such surprising changes, which was truly unexpected.
The Divine Crane changed direction, rushing towards the stronghold. Along the way, even if enemies wanted to intercept, it was like trying to stop a chariot with their arms.
During this process, the cultivators protected by the array discovered an astonishing fact—the array was extremely sturdy, not weakened by their presence. They could even launch attacks from within the Crane Shadow, fighting alongside the Divine Crane!
This was simply unbelievable.
It's known that although arrays are powerful, the connection between those forming it can sometimes be fragile. Even if they can resist external pressure, they are easily disturbed by internal forces.
Once such a connection breaks, the formation will collapse on its own.
Yet the current situation was such that all the cultivators sheltered in the Crane Shadow were launching attacks together, with countless forces rising and falling, yet it didn't affect the formation at all.
Where did this group of people come from?
How could their connections be so solid?
No time to think further, and no one explained to them, but everyone saw through this group's intent.
It was clear they intended to rescue the cultivators trapped in the stronghold!
With this formation, they could carve a path to safety, far from this perilous place, but they didn't do that. Instead, they turned towards the stronghold.
In contrast to Du Feng's cowardly escape, the difference was clear as day.
The cultivators of the Insect and Blood Races also saw through the intention of the Crane Wings Camp, and recklessly intercepted, but in vain.
The huge gap in overall strength could not be compensated by numbers. Every enemy blocking the way perished as soon as they made contact with the Crane Shadow.
Seeing the Divine Crane approaching, the many cultivators trapped in the stronghold realized the intent of the Crane Wings Camp, their hearts filled with gratitude, they made their move, rushing out to meet the Crane Wings Camp.
A moment later, they met as one.
"Get in quickly!" Those already hiding in the Crane Shadow called loudly, welcoming their rescued companions.
Once everyone was inside the Crane Shadow, the Divine Crane suddenly flapped its wings and charged in another direction.
Breakout!
A strong aura suddenly approached rapidly from a distance, and the direction of the aura was precisely where Du Feng had fled.
At the middle position in the Crane Shadow, Lu Ye turned his head and saw the Insect Race Dao Fusion, who had originally been chasing Du Feng, returning with great fury on his face.
In just a short time, the situation here had changed so dramatically, something he never anticipated.
Moreover, his forces had suffered heavy casualties.
Glaring at the giant Crane Shadow, the Insect Race Dao Fusion felt his anger blaze, his speed increased sharply, heading straight for the Divine Crane.
The power of Dao Fusion, even before approaching, brought enormous pressure.
Within the Crane Shadow, whether the cultivators of the Crane Wings Camp or others, all looked tense. The excitement and joy of killing the enemy vanished completely; they never expected the Insect Race Dao Fusion to return so quickly!
