In a single attack, twenty thousand soldiers were annihilated, and with three such attacks, that would make sixty thousand.
Moreover, there was no rule stating that each attack could only kill twenty thousand soldiers.
Thus, their fervor for Mu Rufeng intensified, and their confidence in the journey to Mei Mountain grew.
After about ten minutes of rapid advancement, Mu Rufeng finally caught sight of Mei Mountain.
A massive peak, enveloped in black mist, rose five hundred meters into the air.
Mei Mountain, it was indeed Mei Mountain.
Mei Mountain was surrounded by mountains on three sides, so Mu Rufeng and his men only needed to guard this one side.
It was fortunate they only had to defend one side; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to hold the entire Mei Mountain with their ten thousand men.
At the base of Mei Mountain, a large number of Barbarian Soldiers were stationed.
Roughly estimated, there were fifty thousand soldiers.
Just as Mu Rufeng was preparing to deploy the Four Symbols Formation once more to wipe out these Barbarian Soldiers,
a gigantic Black Snake, a thousand feet long, emerged above the Barbarian army.
That was the Black Water Profound Snake, the Mystic Snake Formation of the Barbarian army.
Seeing this, Mu Rufeng immediately saw the Four Great Divine Beasts slowly rise above his entire army.
Although they were not as large as the Black Water Profound Snake, their presence was no less formidable.
Neither side had yet to attack, but their momentum collided in midair.
The clouds in the sky were instantly cleared,
yet the black fog enveloping Mei Mountain remained unaffected, undisturbed by any force.
Mu Rufeng, fearless, controlled the army's formation and directly launched an assault at the Barbarian army.
The moment the two sides made contact, a terrifying presence burst forth.
The space around them twisted.
After a while, things calmed down.
The two sides still stood opposed to each other, evenly matched in this collision.
The Barbarian army, too, possessed God Realm power.
Of course, this Barbarian army consisted of fifty thousand soldiers, with at least five leaders of ten thousand each, who had also obtained an Abnormality power.
Compared to the Great Xia side, which only had an army of ten thousand.
The reason the two sides were evenly matched was firstly because the Mystic Snake Formation was roughly comparable to the separate Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu formations.
But when the Four Great Divine Beasts formed the stronger Four Symbols Formation, it was far superior.
Secondly, those ten thousand men were at the least third-level Refining Meat elite Martial Artists.
Thus, it made sense for the sides to be evenly matched.
However, at this moment, Mu Rufeng could only execute one more full-strength attack.
This full-strength attack was not only Mu Rufeng's but also that of all the soldiers in the army.
In such a case, if Mu Rufeng swallowed an Elixir or Spiritual Object to restore his Qi Blood Power, it would likely be absorbed by the formation before complete recovery.
The entire army needed to ingest them together for it to be approximately sufficient.
So, without any hesitation, Mu Rufeng once again urged the formation forward, using his own strength as the core, launching another fierce attack at the Barbarian army.
The Barbarian army, naturally unwilling to show weakness, also spurred their Mystic Snake Formation to collide once again with Mu Rufeng's renewed assault.
After the attacks dissipated, both sides remained unscathed, but it was evident that their vigor had weakened.
This was divine Level 9 Divine Realm power, naturally not something that could be exerted multiple times.
"All men, quickly ingest your Elixirs! " bellowed Mu Rufeng, his command reverberating through the entire army.
The soldiers wasted no time, grabbing the Elixirs from their waists and popping them into their mouths.
Instantly, the previously weakened aura of the army formation was restored to its peak.
The Barbarian army similarly regained their strength; they had more than just Elixirs and Spiritual Objects to rejuvenate their vitality.
Just as the battle was about to be rekindled, three streaks of light shot from the distance.
It was Han Zhen and the other two, having dealt with the Barbarian Soldiers and now rushing over.
"Mu Rufeng, let's strike together."
Han Zhen revealed his figure and without any dallying, drew forth a sword.
The moment the sword appeared, an overwhelming Sword Qi emitted from it.
That was Level 9 Divine Realm power.
Clearly, this sword was Han Zhen's trump card for this mission.
"Good!" Mu Rufeng responded, ready to activate the formation once again.
Unexpectedly, before the battle resumed, the Barbarian army began to retreat.
Seeing this, Mu Rufeng immediately stopped what he was doing.
In the sky, Han Zhen who was ready to wield the divine sword also slowly withdrew.
Not just Mu Rufeng, they too were puzzled as to why the Barbarian army was retreating.
