Records of the Human Emperor Chapter 1727: The Rupture Halo!

"Marshal, they're withdrawing!" a Feather Forest Army officer whispered.

Zhao Fengchen's Xuanwu Army was truly formidable. After blocking the Cutting Formation, the Feather Forest Army had been ready to counterattack and deal the Xuanwu Army a heavy blow, but Zhao Fengchen had been incredibly sharp. When he realized that his formation couldn't break the Supreme River Formation, he had changed directions and simply passed through, not even giving them a chance.

Wang Chong and Zhao Fengchen's subtle exchange had not gone unnoticed.

"I saw it!"

The First Prince clenched his fists and scowled.
