novelHeavy Loss, Shocking the World
| ← Ch.0768 | Ch.0770 → |
Immediately afterward, an even larger attack was swept out. A terrifying golden light frantically swept towards the Guardian Army, who was high in the sky.
Once the defensive boundary was instantly shattered and left open, the Guardian Army suffered heavy losses.
This wave alone was powerful enough to out 100, 000 of the Guardian Army's troops. The countless victims of the attack had exploded, turning them into downpours of blood raining all over the place.
"Let's go!" Xuanzhenzi grabbed Ximen Xingye, turned it into a hidden light, and flew away into the distance.
The remaining members of the Immemorial Path also scrambled to flee, as they had completely collapsed in the blink of an eye.
Of course, the Guardian Army of the Immemorial Path had genuinely earned their reputation; they always fought until their last breath. Therefore, people already expected them to fight without retreating.
Only this time, the difference in power between the two sides was too big. After a brief encounter, a third of the Guardian Army had been wiped out.
Nothing like this had ever happened before!
Even Xuanzhenzi made a decision to evacuate as soon as possible.
There was a unique expert hidden in the great altar of the Divine Blood Church. Being at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, this expert could deal a heavy blow to Ximen Xingye.
This feeling reminded Xuanzhenzi of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan had done similar things before. He was pretty much unbeatable, killing his way through the great altar of the Divine Blood Church by himself.
Everything that was happening now was very similar to what happened before.
This time, however, it was the Immemorial Path's turn to be wiped out!
That was when he finally realized that Lu Xuan was right all along.
If having a numbers advantage was useful, then there was no point in cultivating!
An advantage in numbers meant nothing to a truly powerful expert!
If Lu Xuan was the top expert among all experts, then Xuanyangzi was considered one of the strongest among ordinary experts.
Lu Xuan and the expert from the Divine Blood Church who had never appeared were both super strong experts, surpassing Xuanzhenzi's expectations!
Their defeat was overwhelming!
Having faced a crushing defeat, countless elite soldiers of the Divine Blood Church rushed out of the ambush to chase and kill them.
Suddenly, the entire situation fell apart!
This was undoubtedly a crushing defeat!
The news had spread all over the world within just a few hours!
Anyone who had a little bit of strength found out the result of the battle almost instantly.
The world was in an uproar!
"What? They actually failed?"
When everyone received the news, they first reacted with complete disbelief.
The Immemorial Path had done what many people speculated them to do. They had mobilized the army and taken advantage of when the Divine Blood Church was heavily injured, all to completely wipe them out in one go.
However, the result was far from what everyone expected to occur. It was a crushing defeat at the great altar for the Divine Blood Church.
The world was in an uproar!
"There is a true top expert in the Divine Blood Church. It is said that the person had seriously injured the Deputy Head Elder of the Immemorial Path, Ximen Xingye, who wasn't even given a chance to defend himself!"
Many people had seen the attack for themselves. It could be said that one blow had dealt a heavy blow to an expert in the peak Divine Transformation Realm. Such combat strength was enough to leave many people shocked.
"The Immemorial Path lost at least 200, 000 of their elites during this battle, as well as hundreds of experts who were at least in the Divine Transformation Realm!"
"Even for the Immemorial Path, such a loss was enough to make them suffer!"
"The world has returned to a state of balance. The Divine Blood Church has been hit so hard that the high-leveled members were practically dead. Now, the Immemorial Path has also suffered heavy losses!"
"When will this chaotic situation be over?"
For a time, people marveled at the situation. They did not expect the Divine Blood Church to have returned from the dead upon reaching this point. They even dealt a heavy blow to the Immemorial Path in the process.
They weren't even using their full strength!
With the two events occurring consecutively, many people finally realized that having a numbers advantage meant nothing when going against a true expert.
It did not matter to a true top expert how many people their enemies had.
The number of people may be useful for the ordinary experts, it meant absolutely nothing to the top experts.
Their strength had gone beyond the limits.
"If that's the case, then the strength of the Divine Blood Church and the unknown expert should be enough to compete with the strength of the Immemorial Path and the sacred one!"
"Between the mysterious expert of the Divine Blood Church and the sacred one, who is the stronger one?"
Many people discussed the strength of Lu Xuan and the expert from the Divine Blood Church. Everyone wanted to know who would've won in a fight against one another.
Many people wanted to know who was stronger: Lu Xuan, or the Divine Blood Church.
Meanwhile, a group of elders had gathered in the Central mountain gate of the Immemorial Path.
Their leader was none other than Xuanyangzi.
Xuanyangzi repeatedly created hand seals, then displayed them and placed them onto Ximen Xingye, who was lying in front of him.
Xuanzhenzi anxiously asked from the side, "Head Elder, how is it? Can he be cured?"
He could easily see a big hole that had been carved in Ximen Xingye's chest.
Whatever created this big hole had pierced right through his chest. Everyone could sense that Ximen Xingye's life force was leaking out of it.
After retreating from the great altar of the Divine Blood Church, Xuanzhenzi's first reaction was to bring Ximen Xingye to Xuanyangzi.
He was hoping that Xuanyangzi could save Ximen Xingye.
Xuanyangzi shook his head as he said, "There is nothing I can do. Even with my strength, I cannot save him. I can only seal him temporarily so that his injury won't get any worse!"
He also found it very difficult to heal the injury on Ximen Xingye's chest. Ximen Xingye was already very skillful to have been able to get this far. Any ordinary expert in the ninth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm would have died long ago; it would have been impossible for them to hold on until now.
It could be said that Xuanyangzi had done his best.
Xuanyangzi said, "I'll send someone to invite Mister Lu over right away. Right now, his is our only hope in saving Ximen Xingye!"
In the past, calling Lu Xuan a Taoist friend was considered praising Lu Xuan. Now, Lu Xuan was no longer called that because Xuanyangzi was not worthy of calling him that.
On the contrary, Lu Xuan was the one who was referring to him as a Taoist friend instead. That was a form of praise in itself.
Xuanzhenzi cupped his hands and said, "Head Elder, it's my fault that the Deputy Head Elder ended up seriously injured. It's my fault that hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers were killed and injured. Please punish me!" This time, the Immemorial Path had lost so much. They had never suffered such a heavy loss in the last hundreds of years.
Even without all of the heavy losses that they sustained, they weren't even able to pose a threat to the Divine Blood Church.
Xuanyangzi waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault!"
He was not the kind of Head Elder who would pass the responsibilities onto others.
"This all happened because I did not confirm the situation before letting you all leave in such a hurry!"
