Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 178 Thanking Brother Long for Joining the Alliance
"Cousin!"

Wu Tianxi, who became the chief of Tuoluo Village, was not the simple-minded, physically strong but mentally challenged brute he appeared to be. He naturally understood Wu Yunzhao's meaning, but he couldn't bear to shout it out.

Those who traveled thousands of miles to follow Wu Tianxi were the men of Tuoluo Village and the people from the surrounding area who supported and admired him, and they even spared no effort to send their most precious rattan armor soldiers.

Rattan armor is a specialty of the Southern Barbarians, but its manufacturing difficulty is no less than that of fine armor, making it quite precious and rare. This is enough to prove the support and recognition of Wu Tianxi by Tuoluo Village and the Southern Barbarian tribes!
Now, Wu Tianxi really couldn't bring himself to abandon them.

"Hurry! The main target of Prince Jingwu is us brothers. Let them retreat immediately!"

Seeing that Wu Tianxi was not leaving, Wu Yunzhao shouted urgently, but he had no choice but to stop the Jade Lion of Night. His spear, like silver lightning, struck Dugu Feng to prevent Dugu Feng from using her speed to entangle Wu Tianxi!
Wu Tianxi hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xiao Ying and the others who were rushing towards him from the southwest, and gritted his teeth, shouting:
"Retreat! Full speed ahead, evacuate!"

The bandits and barbarian people of Tuoluo Village didn't say anything and obeyed the order to leave.

Fortunately, Wu Tianxi relied on his divine power to break through the door during the attack, making his escape relatively easy.

Unfortunately, the fierce battle had already reached a point where the Sui army, which was about to rest, had been alerted and had been dispatched to attack powerful enemies in all four directions.

The southern barbarian bandits and civilians attempted to retreat, but were immediately met with a barrage of arrows and crossbow bolts. The rattan armor soldiers fared relatively well, managing to withstand the powerful crossbows and bows. Those lightly armored, wearing animal hides, or without armor suffered heavy casualties, their cries of agony filling the air.

"Kill the Peerless Phoenix first, then kill the Jingwu King!"

Seeing the miserable state of his sons and the people, Wu Tianxi couldn't bear it any longer and shouted again, then smashed his mace at Dugu Feng with a force that could split mountains and shatter peaks!
Dugu Feng only "bullies" him because of his speed. In a head-on confrontation or a battle of strength, Wu Tianxi is not afraid of anyone.

With his cousin Wu Yunzhao's help, Wu Tianxi felt that it wouldn't be difficult to severely injure or kill Dugu Feng, the rising "Peerless Phoenix"!
"..."

Wu Yunzhao's face stiffened, and he was quite speechless.

He knew what his cousin meant, but was the Peerless Phoenix so easy to kill?
Prince Jingwu and the others were chasing after him. If it weren't for the Jade Lion Zhaoye running fast, he himself would have had a hard time escaping, let alone saving Wu Tianxi!

Now that things have come to this, Wu Yunzhao could abandon the bandits and Jianghuai army fighting alongside him in the south, and he could abandon the southern barbarians and Jianghuai army in the west, regardless of their lives, but he could not abandon his cousin Wu Tianxi, who had come north to help him with all his might upon hearing of his suffering.

Wu Yunzhao thrust his spear at Dugu Feng again, as swift as a flash of silver light!

We can only hope that things go as Wu Tianxi said, that we can kill Dugu Feng as soon as possible, and then the brothers can join forces and basically not be afraid of being besieged by Jingwu King and others!
"The phoenix dances for nine days!"

Dugu Feng had fought against both brothers and knew that in a head-on confrontation, he was no match for either of them.

His figure leaped up like a phoenix soaring through the sky, and the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Spear in his hand danced rapidly. Dozens or even hundreds of spear beams, like a hundred birds flying, pounced on the two of them from the air!

However, such group attacks are completely useless against extraordinary figures like Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi, and can be almost ignored.

The current advantage of this move is that it allows the user to remain airborne for an extended period, making it difficult for Wu Yunzhao and his companion to launch an effective attack.

"Tianxi..."

Wu Yunzhao called out to Wu Tianxi with some helplessness, hoping to persuade Wu Tianxi to leave alone again...

It's not that the two can't fight in mid-air, but it's difficult to gain leverage in mid-air, unlike fighting on the ground.

More importantly, their mounts were priceless famous horses and exotic beasts. In this chaotic battlefield where war was dangerous and dangerous, they could easily be killed without their protection, and they couldn't bear to part with their mounts!
"This……"

Wu Tianxi's face was grim, and he hesitated to speak. Looking back, he saw that the Sui army was pursuing the Southern Barbarians with all their might, but with him and Wu Yunzhao present, they weren't giving them a full-scale chase and were deliberately taking a detour, clearly still somewhat wary!

Death in battle is a common occurrence in war. Wu Tianxi can accept the casualties of the Southern Barbarians, but he simply cannot bring himself to abandon them!

Glancing at the numerous powerful auras rushing towards them at breakneck speed, Wu Tianxi, not being truly mindless, knew that delay would be futile and gritted his teeth, saying:

Let's leave now!

The implication is that they're no longer going to care about Du Fuwei on the north side, Xiong Kuohai on the east side, or the bandits in the Taihang Mountains!

"Alright! Let's retreat!"

Wu Yunzhao's mind raced, and he decisively agreed. He then spurred his horse and charged towards the Southern Barbarians, shielding them from a hail of arrows and crossbow bolts, and causing countless Sui soldiers to scramble to get out of their way.

Wu Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief, glanced guiltily at the east side, and followed closely behind, covering the retreat of the Southern Barbarians...

As for Du Fuwei, it was only a temporary partnership; good luck to him!

With the help of two unparalleled experts, the Sui army and Dugu Feng were wary and dared not approach. The retreat of the Southern Barbarians was much smoother, and the casualties were greatly reduced!

In a short while, the Nanman who had entered the camp had basically withdrawn from the camp. Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi stood like two gatekeepers in front of the broken camp gate, preventing the Sui army from pursuing them. They had the air of one man guarding the pass and ten thousand men could not pass!

Wu Yunzhao was alright, but Wu Tianxi was over nine feet tall, comparable to the giant spirit god Hong Lingtian. He wore a fish-tail black gold helmet and fish-scale black gold armor, held a pair of Hun Tian halberds, and rode a Crimson Cloud Beast. He was as imposing as a copper wall and an iron wall, blocking the Sui army's path!
"Rumble..."

Xiao Ying, accompanied by numerous Star Gods, sped towards them like a thunderbolt.

Unfortunately, they were still a step too late. The Southern Barbarians had already evacuated the camp, leaving only the Wu Yunzhao brothers blocking the camp gate.

"Heavenly Dance of the Wild Halberd!"

Skill breeds daring. Xiao Ying was actually no stronger than Dugu Feng, and might even be inferior to Dugu Feng in a one-on-one fight. However, relying on the Star God's assistance and his own formidable strength, he launched a fierce attack on the Wu Yunzhao brothers.

Locking onto Wu Yunzhao from the sky, the Fangtian Halberd, with the might of a heavenly thunderbolt and the force of a meteorite falling from the heavens, directly blasted towards Wu Yunzhao!
Dugu Feng, quite tacitly in sync, pounced on Wu Tianxi from mid-air, unleashing another flurry of spear thrusts like snakes, nimbly and windingly aimed straight at Wu Tianxi!
Many of the Star Gods bypassed the Wu brothers and went directly to attack the Southern Barbarians who were retreating outside the camp. This was clearly Xiao Ying's idea!
"withdraw!"

Wu Yunzhao wasn't afraid of Xiao Ying, but he knew Xiao Ying's tactics and didn't want to waste time with him. He told Wu Tianxi to fight and retreat at the same time!

Wu Tianxi had never fought Xiao Ying before, and this was their first meeting. He thought that the Prince of Jingwu was so powerful that even his cousin was wary of him and inferior to him. So he did not try to be brave and instead obeyed orders to fight and retreat!

"Go to the east side immediately and capture Xiong Kuohai as soon as possible..."

Xiao Ying unleashed a powerful halberd strike, which was parried by Wu Yunzhao. He launched another fierce attack, but secretly transmitted a message to Dugu Feng, quickly adding:

"These two brothers are exceptionally talented; they can be contained, but not defeated!"

At the same time, many powerful star gods who had originally circled around to attack the Southern Barbarians turned back and attacked Wu Tianxi!

In reality, with the current number of people, it's really impossible to take down the Wu Yunzhao brothers. Being able to scare them away would be enough to meet Xiao Ying's expectations!
