Not to mention he had already been grievously wounded twice before by the Divine Martial King.
As he was now, he was no longer at his peak.
He was likely no match for this Yue Pengwu whose qi devoured Wan Li.
He stayed here, to block Yue Pengwu.
There would be only one ending—fall in battle.
Yet his death in battle would be enough to trade for a vast opportunity: to swap out Gao Xiang, who could originally hold off Yue Pengwu, and send him away, to obtain a formation where Military God Jiang Su cooperated with Divine Shooter Gao Xiang, seizing the chance to intercept and slay the Emperor Qin!
If the Emperor Qin died, the enemy's three armies would be headless.
Even if he did not die, but was merely severely wounded, it could still prolong ten more years of Golden Age for Daying Kingdom; by then, Qin Yulong would definitely have already broken through to the Nine Heavens.
