Chapter 1227 - Chapter 1227 Chapter 520 Escaping to Survive

Chapter 1227: Chapter 520: Escaping to Survive Chapter 1227: Chapter 520: Escaping to Survive His Spiritual Power was not only purer but was also many levels stronger; when it came into contact with the ethereal and vague clouds, it was a stark contrast–like heaven and earth.

Moreover, the equipment sheathed under the loose Star Robe, though unremarkable in appearance, was incredibly durable beyond imagination.

Compared to the current Dragon Soul Armor, the resistance of this Spirit Armor against Spirit Arts was downright terrifying, coupled with the fierce Divine Artifacts; it was unknown how wealthy the opponent was.

Each one possessed a weapon that could be considered a Divine Artifact, making our Spirit Armor seem as fragile as paper mache, scraping it would cause damage, touching it would break it.

With the same level of Spirit Arts, without their Spirit Armor, the Xiang Family Martial Ancestors could only try to dodge the attacks or brace against them using protective techniques, which greatly drained their Spiritual Power.

On the other hand, when facing the Spirit Arts of the Xiang Family Martial Ancestors, the opponents, with their divine weapons, could smash the spirit forms and the residual shockwave from the shattered Spirit Art could even be braced against with their bodies and Spirit Armor.

How the hell were they supposed to fight this? Even ordinary sects weren’t this extravagant, were they? To equip a Fierce Realm warrior to such levels?

Three men chased ten, and the three masked ones even had leisure to add troubles for the Xiang Family’s four top-notch experts. In contrast, on our side, Xiang Lin, who had cast the Blood Fiend escape technique twice before the fight, was forced into desperation shortly after the fight began and, with his teammates’ strategy, narrowly and perilously handed over the Xuanji Jade, extricating himself from the battlefield.

As the battle dragged on, the light of the Xuanji Jade kept flashing within the Xiang Family’s camp, and in less than half an hour, only six remained from the original ten.

In a three-against-one scenario they were already losing, two-against-one was even less manageable, but fortunately, even the strong ones wearing Constellation Masks were human and needed time to regain their breath.

This gave a few of the Xiang Family Martial Ancestors a chance to catch their breath, but the situation did not look like it would last long, as the masked warriors regained their energy surprisingly quickly, clearly having practiced some top-level breathing techniques, and would recover in no time.

Once the Xiang Family Martial Ancestors were wiped out, it would pose a fatal threat to our battle situation since the Xiang Family’s four top experts were already engaged.

Once these three joined back into the battle to provide reinforcement, it would pose a tremendous threat to the Xiang Family’s four top experts.

Everyone could see this, but no one could stop it because the four Xiang Family members couldn’t escape the entanglement of their foes, and the remaining Xiang Family Martial Ancestors couldn’t overcome the three opponents.

Just as the Xiang Family was at a loss, reinforcements finally arrived; those elite commanders converging from South City were all Fierce Realm warriors.

Although a single one couldn’t make much of an impact, but in numbers, there was a hope–just the addition of seven or eight Fierce Realm warriors changed the whole situation.

With a group of strong assistants, the Xiang Family’s Martial Ancestors finally stemmed the tide of defeat, and just when they thought they could signal a counterattack, the group of masked strong ones apparently didn’t plan to continue the fight.

They weren’t here to fight to the death; their mission was merely to rescue the Devil Lord Chenhou, and now that he was saved, no one wanted to continue wasting their energy against the Xiang Family’s experts.

And with such warriors wanting to leave, did the Xiang Family have a way to intercept them? Perhaps they did, like reigniting the Cold Moon Spirit Concealment Array or having the two Grandmasters of the Xiang Family pursue them.

You ask why the two peak Fierce Realm experts didn’t pursue?

Chase with injuries, are you kidding?

As the distance opened up, those under Kuixu planned their retreat, but the Yanyun Grandmaster didn’t seem to want to let them go.

If there was any moment during the great battle where the Xiang Family had the upper hand, it could only have been Xiang Yan, especially since the Grandmaster had a half-piece Divine Artifact in his possession, and Kuixu had no special means tailored against spirit-qualified flesh bodies, the Yanyun Grandmaster clearly did not intend to just drop matters.

But sometimes, whether it’s war or peace, isn’t just up to one person to decide.

Even if a powerful person can establish dominance in their own domain, ultimately, they have to bow to the greater momentum of the situation.

Looking back at a scene where everyone was injured, Xiang Yan could only grit his teeth and swallow back the decision to continue the chase.

The humiliating feeling he could hardly suppress made him send a message to Ancestor Xiang Qian, “The Devil Lord killed Xiaozhuang, are we really going to let this go!?”

“The Family Head is dead.” Xiang Qian said coldly to Xiang Yan, without any intention of avoiding the topic, “Ah Nan is also dead. You saw the reinforcements of the Devil Lord yourself. Tell me, how many more of our clan members’ lives do we need to sacrifice to settle this?”

If the Qiuxi seven hadn’t come, Xiang Qian would never have let go of the Devil Lord Gou Chen and Jiao Su; however, there are no “ifs” in this world.

“But!” Xiang Yan still found it hard to swallow, “Are we just allowing them to leave Chaochang?”

“They won’t leave.” Xiang Qian said coldly, “Gou Chen took the city lord away, surely plotting something.”

After saying this, Xiang Qian secretly transmitted another message, “Besides, you still have half of the Immortal Cloud Whisk Soul. Where can they run? First, return to the clan to recuperate.”

Looking over the almost completely ruined and injured South City, Xiang Qian sighed, “The current Xiang Family can’t afford more turmoil.”

…

Not long after walking away from the South City battlefield with the hostage, Gou Chen tore open an underground passage and brought Du Sha and the hostage into it.

As soon as they entered the passage, the two collapsed to the ground and sat back heavily against the crystal wall, gasping for breath.

This battle was truly exhausting. The accumulated pain suddenly burst forth, leaving Tang Luo without even the strength to stand, his entire body’s muscles aching as if torn apart.

The unpredictable Divine Power, Blood Fiend invasion, combined attack aftermath, and the balanced body art–even with his formidable physique there were limits to what he could endure. Managing to hold on until now was already a miracle.

Compared to Tang Luo’s injuries, Du Sha was merely drained, his Spiritual Power nearly depleted, and even his spirit felt lethargic, probably due to severe damage suffered during the combined assault on the Xuan Ding.

Being able to hold out until he appeared while facing a grandmaster in such a state was really an incredible achievement, relying almost entirely on willpower.

The two leaning against the wall remained silent after exhausting their body’s potential, as spacing out had become the most blissful activity in the world.

In such an atmosphere, having some food to mechanically stuff into their mouths and chew would have been wonderful.

Tang Luo pursed his lips, just about to say something, when he noticed that the hostage inside the Xuan Ding had awakened.

The two watched as the woman flipped out of the Ding, then extended two cloud-like hands, pressing their necks against the crystal wall.

“Bet you didn’t expect this, I’m awake!”

The pretty woman gritted her teeth and proudly said to the two men fixed against the crystal wall by the cloud hands, like a fisherman who reaps the benefits of a fight between snipe and clam.

Trapped at opposite sides of the crystal wall, Tang Luo looked down at the cloud hand clutching his neck and blinked towards Du Sha on the other side of the crystal wall.

“I’m very tired, don’t want to move, how about you go?”

“I’m out of Spiritual Power.”

“The person came out of the Ding!”

“Alright.”

With a helpless nod, Du Sha flicked his toe, sending the heavy Xuan Ding flying out to entrap the smug City Lord Yun Xiu inside.
