As the distance between the two sides narrowed to just one kilometer, the thousand-zhang-long Black Water Profound Snake also rose into the air from above the Barbarian army.
At this moment, Mu Rufeng had also immediately activated the Four Symbols Formation, and his aura rapidly soared.
However, the next second, a grand voice appeared in the ears of all the soldiers.
"Rule established, Great Xia people cannot deploy the Military Formation Technique."
The moment this voice sounded, Mu Rufeng stood frozen in his spot.
Shattered, the Four Symbols Formation dissipated directly, and all the soldiers were stunned on the spot.
The Military Formation Technique they had deployed vanished into thin air without any warning.
On the other hand, the Black Water Profound Snake above the Barbarian army had already opened its abyss-like maw, ready to attack the Demon Suppression Army.
In this situation, once the attack fell, the Demon Suppression Army would be completely annihilated without any chance of survival.
Only Mu Rufeng, with his "Absolute Defense," might survive.
But what was the point? Alone, he was utterly unable to stop the massive army; thus, the second phase of the mission would naturally be a failure.
Thousands of thoughts raced through Mu Rufeng's mind when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.
Mu Rufeng immediately shouted, "Rule change, Barbarians cannot deploy the Military Formation Technique!"
The moment Mu Rufeng yelled out, the Black Water Profound Snake's body contorted, but it did not dissipate.
However, this twist disrupted the Black Water Profound Snake's attack.
"Does not comply with the modification provisions, rule change failed."
Mu Rufeng's expression darkened as he shouted again, "Rule change, neither Barbarians nor Great Xia people can deploy the Military Formation Technique!"
"Rule modification successful!"
A notification sound rang out in Mu Rufeng's mind.
With the successful rule modification, the Black Water Profound Snake also instantly vanished into nothingness.
The Barbarian army below stood stunned as well, unable to comprehend how their Military Formation Technique became unusable just because the enemy had shouted a command.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, why, why can the Great Xia army also use the Divine Power!"
The Barbarian army's Commander, holding a Seal radiating intense ghost qi, was furiously roaring.
"Establish rules, establish more rules for me!"
"Establishment failure, you can establish only once a day."
Hearing this, the Commander's face turned exceedingly ugly.
"Hmph, they have only ten thousand men, and we have a full fifty thousand. So what if we can't use the Military Formation, we still hold the advantage."
"Men, kill them, eat them!"
The Commander roared and then led the army charge towards the Demon Suppression Army.
"Brothers, we only have ten thousand, while the Barbarians have fifty thousand, are you afraid?"
Mu Rufeng somehow found himself standing at the forefront of the army, loudly calling out.
Tens of thousands of voices shouted in unison.
"Long live Great Xia!"
"Long live Great Xia!"
Now that the Military Formation Technique was useless, they could only engage in free-for-all combat.
If it were an army that had trained together for years, that would be fine, as they could still use some normal formations (those without special powers) even if they could not employ the Military Formation Technique.
But these ten thousand had been assembled from all across the country, not to mention formations, even coordination would be difficult.
Moreover, they were all at least at the Level 3 Refining Meat Realm, with many even higher ranked, allowing them to unleash the most formidable strength of the Demon Suppression Army in unbridled combat.
Mu Rufeng took the lead, knowing full well that today, the ten thousand of the Demon Suppression Army were likely to suffer heavy casualties.
But he had no other choice because that was the nature of the battlefield, and Mu Rufeng could not turn the tide of battle with one person's strength.
Oh, correction, to be precise, Mu Rufeng had already turned the tide of battle with his own strength.
Otherwise, save for Mu Rufeng himself, the Demon Suppression Army would have been completely annihilated by the Black Water Profound Snake's strike.
"Great Xia people, die!"
As the Commander of the fifty thousand strong Barbarian army, Suluer's strength had long since reached the peak of the late Soul Refining stage.
Having devoured a large amount of flesh and blood, he transformed into a Level 8 Ghost King. Although he still had not reached the threshold of a Level 9 Ghost Emperor, his strength had already peaked at Level 8 Ghost King.
Even Han Zhen, were he present, might have to evade his edge.
He could clearly feel the strength of Mu Rufeng, so the instant the two armies clashed, he sought out Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng naturally confronted him straight away.
HIs opponent swung a heavy club at Mu Rufeng with all his might.
Mu Rufeng did not overestimate himself and drew out his Qilin Magic Wand.
A jarring metallic clamor echoed in all directions.
Mu Rufeng's palms instantly split open, gushing with blood.
On the opposite side, Suluer's club, along with his hand, exploded into pieces.
In their first clash, both were injured, but Mu Rufeng had the upper hand.
Suluer was slightly stunned, not expecting Mu Rufeng to be so strong, nor did he anticipate that the short rod in Mu Rufeng's hand would be so hard.
During his moment of distraction, Suluer's exploding hand had already healed.
Mu Rufeng certainly did not give him a chance to breathe, as his Magic Wand was already swinging towards him again.
Suluer, seeing this, chose to punch back directly.
"Boom!" came a muffled sound.
The terrifying force once again caused Suluer's entire arm to explode violently.
However, to everyone's surprise, Suluer's bones managed to block Mu Rufeng's Magic Wand.
"Such formidable strength, consuming you will definitely make me stronger."
Suluer laughed hideously and yanked the bone from his right hand, immediately cloaking his wound with a shroud of black qi.
