Chapter 726: Chapter 671: Battle Begins

Boom—

The earth shook violently.

As the black storm swept through, the pitch-black flagpoles officially waved dull, hazy lights, propping up rings of light that enveloped the Merchant Group behind, making it impossible to harm them.

Yet, no one felt relieved because at this moment, within the black storm, agile figures leapt out, having entered the gloomy light emanating from the flagpoles, charging right into it.

They were all bandits, fierce and terrifying in appearance, with ferocious faces, and even riding Storm Beasts resembling creatures from Stealing Heaven Plain, booming as they swept over like a terrifying black torrent.

Although the Merchant Group was aware of the bandits hiding within the black storm, it was altogether too sudden and they couldn’t fully prepare, immediately throwing them off guard.

Upon clashing, numerous mercenaries and members of the merchant caravan were struck down and dismounted, blood splattering, resulting in many injuries and deaths.

But being a battle-scarred mercenary group, they quickly recovered and launched into fierce combat, with vast arrays of Divine Power Laws fully erupting, booming as they exploded in spectacular and terrifying brilliance.

Both the mercenaries and the bandits were extraordinary individuals, not ordinary people, all above the Divinity Transformation Realm; now their powerful Divine Skills directly clashed, fiercely resplendent, brilliantly shining and thunderously resounding.

It was a spectacle of ferocity and intensity unlike any before.

In the sky, figures fell, and many others were directly blown apart, disintegrating into nothingness, both body and spirit annihilated.

It could be said that this battle was extremely brutal.

Boom, boom, boom—

At this moment, three Semi-Saints from the merchant group suddenly appeared, releasing their most powerful Divine Might mixed with strands of Saintly Might that surged forward, shielded the strong of the Merchant Group, and even directly blew away many of the bandits, exploding in mid-air.

As expected of Semi-Saints, truly powerful.

Such individuals could only belong to truly top-tier mercenary groups, and upon appearing, they immediately gained the upper hand, stabilizing the situation for the merchant caravan.

"How dare mere common bandits attack? Seeking death!"

One of the Semi-Saints spoke with cold disdain, standing dominantly in this realm, far stronger than the Divinity Transformation Peak, with every gesture releasing surging Divine Power accompanied by Divine Ability Rules that exploded through the heavens, roaring and boiling, blowing many of the bandits apart, shattered to pieces.

This was the might of a Semi-Saint, commanding respect across the vast Stealing Heaven Plain unless they were in its deepest regions, where Semi-Saints could dominate.

However, it was clear the bandits had come prepared, also manifesting strong auras boiling over, with several exceptionally powerful figures emerging, all true Semi-Saints, with as many as five great Semi-Saints rising up, fearless even in the black storm.

Since this wasn’t the most terrifying tier of black storm, they were strong enough to withstand it all.

"What, five great Semi-Saints!?"

The merchant faction immediately turned pale, and so did their three Semi-Saints, the bandits concealing as many as five Semi-Saint powerhouses among them, absolutely terrifying indeed.

Ye Chen understood that this time, the bandit gang had clearly come prepared, suspecting perhaps even more terrifying figures were among them.

For this merchant caravan to overcome this calamity, it would be difficult!

Boom—

Five Great Bandit Half-Saints charged directly forward, their bodies radiating terrifying Saintly Might and Divine Light all night, with Principles stirring violently as they clashed with the three Half-Saints from the Merchant Group, unleashing the most dreadful battle.

Brilliant lights burst forth with fierce intensity in the black storm, causing massive waves of turbulence that sent many flying backwards.

The scattered might even directly killed a considerable number of people from both sides who were too close, shattering them mid-air and resulting in their death.

However, anyone could see that the Merchant Group was at an absolute disadvantage. How could three Half-Saints contend against five Half-Saints? It was a completely one-sided affair.

Yet, the five Great Bandit Half-Saints were still unable to instantly kill the three Half-Saints of the Merchant Group.

But there was indeed a true Saint Realm Super Expert seated amongst the Merchant Group, a truly formidable individual who sat in meditation at the center of the group on the Dao Platform. As an old Saint, he was very powerful, providing a sense of security to the entire group, calming their fears.

Generally speaking, with the Saint personally overseeing, even the Great Bandits deep within Stealing Heaven Plain had no need nor desire to make a move.

"Please, Lord Saint, take action and repel the bandits!"

After dealing with the bandits nearby, the leader of the Mercenary Group respectfully spoke to the old Saint.

Other mercenaries also pleaded similarly.

Currently, the situation in the battle was at a deadlock, especially at the top where the three Half-Saints were utterly at a disadvantage, left only with the posture of resistance.

Moreover, one of the Bandit Half-Saints was preparing to leave the battle and attack the Merchant Group, creating an extremely critical situation.

At this time, only the old Saint’s intervention could turn the tide.

Boom—

On the Dao Platform, the old Saint’s white hair unraveled as his eyes opened and closed, emitting terrifying brilliances. At this moment, a supremely majestic Saintly Might swept forth, like a True Dragon reviving, sweeping across the vast Heavenly Universe mightily and temporarily dispersing the terrifying black storm, preventing it from approaching.

He even struck at the Bandit Half-Saint charging towards the Merchant Group, flicking out a brilliantly fierce Divine Light that instantly engulfed that area of the sky and forcibly blasted that powerful Bandit Half-Saint back, sending him horizontally through the air with his body cracking open and coughing up large amounts of blood in a very miserable state.

This was the might of the Saint Realm. Although there was only a fine line separating a Half-Saint from the Saintly Treasure Realm, the difference between them was like that between heaven and earth.

The current state of the Half-Saint being struck down mid-air was the perfect example.

"Alright, it’s also time to deal with these bandits to avoid affecting the progress of the Merchant Group."

The old Saint rose up from the Dao Platform, his robust figure clothed in a long robe, commanding respect, his eyes emitting a cold light as he swept a gaze towards the other four Great Bandit Half-Saints, filled with chilliness.

He strode forward, bursting out from the black storm, regardless of how violently the black storm raged; only a faint light constantly enveloped him, immune to all techniques.

Swish—

With a single step, he traversed the skies and arrived at the battlefield of the Half-Saints. The four Great Bandit Half-Saints were immediately shocked and scrambled backward as fast as lightning, but the old Saint coldly snorted, "Did you really think you could escape from me?"

With a flick of his sleeve, he blasted the black storm apart. Immense might swept through, the skies collapsing, charging towards the four Great Bandit Half-Saints. The space between heaven and earth thundered ominously, terrifying many people who marvelled at the unmatched might of the Saint.

But as the immense turbulence neared the four Half-Saints, an equally terrifying aura rippled out from within the black storm, roaring and sweeping forth, colliding and mutually annihilating each other.

"Saint!" The old Saint’s pupils constricted.
