Chapter 1055: Chapter 977: Is This All the Battle Division of the Zhatian Tower Has?

As they stood in confusion and fear, the collapse continued, taking hundreds of breaths to finally settle.

The half-step Celestial Unrestricted strong warriors from the Battle Division observing from outside Mitian City saw everything before them covered in the thick dust raised by the Black Dragon World-Destroying Step.

Despite their curiosity.

Despite their tension.

No one dared to extend their perception to peek into the dust and see what had become of Shan Tianhun.

For fear of angering the Black Dragon!

At the same time, as individuals who had cultivated to the half-step Celestial Unrestricted Realm, they had steadfast beliefs and detested pessimism and negativity.

Yet under the Black Dragon World-Destroying Step, even though they disdained pessimism and negativity, they couldn’t help but sigh.

"The power of this strike seems to vaguely surpass the half-step Celestial Unrestricted level, it might have reached the Heaven Unrestricted Realm. Even if Lord Shan Tianhun is invincible below the Celestial Unrestricted level, he probably can’t withstand this."

One strong warrior from the Battle Division, who had lived for three to four hundred years, looked worriedly into the dust, being the first to utter a pessimistic sigh.

After he spoke, the bit of pessimism in the others’ hearts was ignited, starting to burn fiercely.

"Five War Gods against five Immortal Sect strong warriors are not even dominating, if it turns into four against five... then our Battle Division’s hope is slim indeed..."

"Is the Battle Division really about to lose to a force from Heaven and Earth Lake? When has our Battle Division ever suffered such humiliation?"

As they expressed their pessimism, Kui Qing, Wan Zhi, Bu Jin, and Jing Wuxing were all extending their perception into the dust.

After probing with their perception, the expressions of the four changed drastically.

The situation they hoped wouldn’t occur had ultimately happened.

Shan Tianhun was dead!

Though aware of the Dragon Race’s strength, they hadn’t expected Shan Tianhun to fall so swiftly under the Black Dragon’s claws.

As a result, the pressure on the four of them increased several times over.

Even a hundredfold!

Because regardless of whom the Black Dragon assists, it’s a destructive blow to their Battle Division.

"Damn it, the worst fear has come true." Kui Qing muttered miserably while dodging the pursuit of the Sword Demon, then locked eyes on the persistently chasing Sword Demon.

That damned Sword Demon!

He’s truly insane!

If he hadn’t been relentlessly harassing himself with a powerful vein technique suspected to be at the Celestial level, Kui Qing could have gone to assist Shan Tianhun.

Had he helped, Shan Tianhun might have escaped danger and not died so quickly under the Black Dragon’s feet.

Suddenly.

A black streak soared out of the dust, pausing mid-air and roaring continuously.

It was the Netherworld Black Dragon King!

After killing Shan Tianhun, it was now fired up with battle intent, issuing roars to provoke everyone.

This made the faces of the four, as well as their inner turmoil, considerably heavier.

The Black Dragon clearly sensed the fear within those below and the unease within the four War Gods, so it roared at them repeatedly.

Finally, it roared to the sky and, in the moment it looked down, spewed overwhelming Black Dragon Flame, sweeping down upon the residents of Mitian City and the Battle Division’s strong warriors.

If even Shan Tianhun couldn’t withstand the burning Black Dragon Flame, let alone those at the Mountain Suppression and Earth Unrestricted levels.

Those touched by it perished!

Contact meant death!

"Enough!"

Only until Wen Ping’s words appeared did the Black Dragon stop the slaughter of those fleeing in disarray.

Wen Ping’s gaze fell on Jing Wuxing, then he said, "First go help the Ice Dragon King kill Jing Wuxing; make it swift. There’s no need to waste time on those who are ants to you."

With that.

The Black Dragon stopped emitting Black Dragon Flame.

Jing Wuxing shuddered violently — he was terrified.

One question filled his mind.

Why him?

Isn’t Kui Qing, Wan Zhi, or Bu Jin more of a target than him?

Watching the Black Dragon roar at him and likely pounce at any moment, Jing Wuxing hastily shouted to Kui Qing, "Brother Kui, we can’t keep fighting like this. Brother Tianhun means that now we are four against five, not only is there no advantage, but it’s turning dire. If we lose any one of us, the loss to the Battle Division would be heavy."

Upon hearing Jing Wuxing’s panic-driven words of retreat, Wan Zhi, under the oppressive might of the Wood Dragon, couldn’t hold back and quickly added, "We should call for reinforcements, better to be embarrassed than to lose our lives!"

With that, the Wood Dragon’s tail drove Wan Zhi back a hundred feet, and before Wan Zhi could steady himself, it swung again to send him flying.

Wan Zhi was completely like a ball at this point.

Being toyed with by the Wood Dragon!

No way around it.

For the Wood Dragon’s Demon Ancestor dragon body, killing Wan Zhi would be all too easy.

There would be no surprises.

However, since only the dragon body reached Celestial Unrestricted, the Wood Dragon didn’t fully possess Celestial Unrestricted power, so killing Wan Zhi still required time.

"You dare be distracted and talk?" the Wood Dragon chided coldly, increasing the strength of its tail swings.

Watching this scene, Jing Wuxing’s heart grew more anxious.

If things continue like this, they all might die here altogether.

To die before even launching the campaign?

No!

He didn’t want to die!

He still had the potential to reach Heaven Unrestricted in the future, dying like this, he was deeply unwilling.

"Brother Kui, if you don’t make a decision, I’ll have to retreat from Mitian City. Brother Tianhun is dead, I don’t want to die here too!"

Jing Wuxing shouted continuously, especially as the Black Dragon joined the battlefield alongside the Ice Dragon to bully him, making his cries more urgent.

Seeing this, Kui Qing dared no longer to covet preserving face, merely hoping the situation wouldn’t deteriorate further, hurriedly calming the increasingly panicked Jing Wuxing, "Jing Wuxing... Brother Jing! Hold on, I will contact Senior Jiang at once. You just need to persist for a quarter of an hour!"

With that, Kui Qing decisively crushed the token given by Senior Jiang.

Bang—

The token shattered, and a snake-like crimson light slipped into the space barrier, vanishing without a trace in the Curved Realm Water.

After crushing the token, Kui Qing’s anxiety over Shan Tianhun’s death finally calmed.

The realm created by Senior Jiang wasn’t far from Mitian City; if Senior Jiang received the message and rushed at full speed, it would only take a quarter of an hour.

In a quarter of an hour, they would survive.

And reverse the situation!

Facing Kui Qing’s reassurance, Jing Wuxing could only flee in panic, looking back at the closely pursuing Ice Dragon King and Black Dragon King while laughing bitterly, "A quarter of an hour, how am I supposed to hold on..."

Meanwhile, upon hearing Kui Qing’s words, Wan Zhi and Bu Jin too initiated delaying tactics.

They simply ran!

Under no circumstances would they engage head-to-head with the Wood Dragon, Dark Stream Annihilation, or the Netherworld Black Dragon King and Ice Dragon King.

Including Kui Qing!

At the bow of the flying ship, Wen Ping watched this scene and shook his head regretfully, saying, "Already calling for reinforcements? I thought the War Gods of your Battle Division might have some promise, didn’t expect this?"
