Chapter 1050: Chapter 972: Broken-Winged Angel

"They are back!"

Within the All-knowing Pavilion, Chen Xie and Long Ke simultaneously rose from their chairs in a swift motion.

In the skies above Mitian City, many of the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted strong individuals displayed expressions of ecstatic surprise at this moment.

"They’re back!"

"The masters are back!"

The remaining dozen or so Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted strong individuals exclaimed in astonishment, like people trapped in a quagmire on the brink of despair seeing a savior.

The return of the five War Gods means the authority of the Battle Division can finally stop collapsing.

With the return of the five War Gods, the Sword Demon’s good days are numbered.

They are no match for the Sword Demon, but with the five War Gods joining forces, the Sword Demon is bound to die!

No matter how strong the Sword Demon is, he is ultimately just a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted!

Even with an invincible posture.

But ultimately not an invincible entity.

"Sword Demon, your death date has arrived!"

"With the return of my Battle Division’s five War Gods, you are insignificant alone, let’s see how arrogant you remain. Just wait for your death!"

Listening to the angry shouts one after another, the Sword Demon remained unmoved, only maintaining a trace of smile at the corner of his mouth.

Within the smile lay an anticipation that none could perceive!

The Angel’s Sword fell immediately, the Holy Light Blade Intent once again streaked across the sky, breaking through many Vein Technique attacks, striking down an already injured Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted strong individual from the sky who was hiding at the back.

And the other Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted strong individuals could only watch this scene unfold with no means to remedy it.

Even if that person does not die, he no longer has the strength to fight.

This was the Sword Demon’s response to the return of the five War Gods!

"Presumptuous!"

Immediately following, a voice akin to thunder erupted in the sky.

Accompanying the appearance of this voice, ripple-like blue Vein Qi spread out in the sky.

As the ripples spread, they instantly covered the entire Mitian City, directly scattering all Vein Techniques that affected Mitian City on the battlefield.

Also halting the Sword Demon’s actions.

The Sword Demon stopped, his eyes sharply fixed on the five Battle Division War Gods who had stopped a thousand meters away, the smile he maintained grew even more pronounced.

"You are finally here."

The Sword Demon spoke with a smile.

He recognized the five before him.

Kui Qing.

Wan Zhi.

Bu Jin.

Jing Wuxing.

Shan Tianhun!

These five Battle Division War Gods were notorious on the battlefield, already taboo-like figures over a hundred years ago.

Throughout the years, You Country tried many times to send strong individuals to kill them, but ultimately, they were helpless against them.

Because to kill even one of them required at least two stronger than them Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted strong individuals.

But at the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted level, You Country had very few stronger than them.

So, no matter how much You Country loathed them, they were helpless.

Of course, dispatching Celestial Unrestricted strong individuals could kill them, and quite easily.

But Celestial Unrestricted strong individuals from the Meridian Gate don’t sit idly by.

If the Celestial Unrestricted strong individuals from You Country acted, would the Celestial Unrestricted strong individuals from the Meridian Gate stand idly by?

These once notorious figures on the battlefield were now standing before him.

The Sword Demon was thrilled.

Truly thrilled!

Kui Qing glared fiercely at the Sword Demon, then scanned the ravaged Mitian City and the remaining dozen or so Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted strong individuals.

The more he looked, the angrier he became.

"Sword Demon, you’ve brought this on yourself!"

With that, Kui Qing and the four simultaneously opened the Meridian Gate.

Bang—

The Meridian Gate shook violently.

The momentum shook the heavens.

The instant the five opened the Meridian Gate, they shot forth explosively, five gigantic shadows of various colors simultaneously coalescing in the sky, then moved to attack the Sword Demon.

The force of the five thoroughly suppressed what was once the unstoppable Sword Demon’s aura.

If the momentum of the Sword Demon was a high mountain before, now a higher mountain has suddenly appeared in front of it.

"Invincible Holy Light!"

The Sword Demon was fearless, casting the Tier Four Magic Invincible Holy Light once again.

Under the illumination of the Holy Light, the Sword Demon flapped its wings, not retreating but advancing, meeting the attack of the five head-on.

Kui Qing saw this and angrily said, "Really courting death!"

However, just as the words fell, a warning sounded.

"Be careful, the Sword Demon’s move is very sinister, even if all our Vein Techniques hit him, he can emerge unscathed!"

As the warning sound fell, the five’s Vein Techniques engulfed the Sword Demon, but in the next second, he emerged from them without a scratch.

The Holy Light Blade Intent followed, striking toward the five.

"Interesting!" Kui Qing coldly spat out, then raised his hand as the Meridian Gate trembled again, and the four beside him promptly opened their Meridian Gates in perfect harmony, forming a Vein Array, and a sun-blocking Water Shield stood before the five.

The Holy Light Blade Intent fell into it, like a clay ox entering the sea, swallowed by the Water Shield, the originally unmatched Holy Light Blade Intent couldn’t stir a single ripple.

The Sword Demon saw this, his gaze hardened, and then he slashed repeatedly.

The sky filled with Holy Light Blade Intents fell, only to be swallowed by the Water Shield, disappearing without a trace.

Kui Qing chuckled, proudly saying, "I am not them, Sword Demon, your blade intent may be strong in front of me, but it’s ultimately just a facade."

With that, the five immediately dissolved the Vein Array.

With the disappearance of Water Escape, the Invincible Holy Light on the Sword Demon also dissipated.

The other four also spoke.

"The Vortex Water Mirror can swallow all Vein Techniques, it’s one of the top ten Vein Array Shields of the Cover Heaven Tower, thinking you alone can break it is wishful thinking!"

"Sword Demon, prepare to die!"

With those words, the five pounced on the Sword Demon instantly.

A distance of hundreds of feet, the five arrived in an instant, each landing a move directly on the Sword Demon, pounding him into the ground.

Boom!

Boom!

The pounded Sword Demon crashed into several high mountains consecutively before stopping.

Seeing this scene, the people still fleeing in Mitian City, along with the members of the Battle Division, slowed their steps at that moment.

Then they slowly came to a stop.

Once stopped, they began to cheer.

"Battle Division will win!"

"Battle Division will win!"

The cheers grew louder, causing smiles finally to break out on the faces of the Battle Division members.

Those dozen strong Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted of the Battle Division also showed delight, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

The trouble was finally solved.

The Battle Division’s authority was finally preserved.

The five War Gods came and immediately suppressed the Sword Demon unilaterally, even directly breaking the kill move the Sword Demon always relied on.

The outcome is settled!

The Sword Demon will surely die!

In the sky, Kui Qing coldly watched the direction where the Sword Demon fell, then said solemnly, "Sword Demon, although I don’t know why you can suddenly become so strong in such a short time, you’re still no match for the five of us. If you dare to invade our territory of Cover Heaven Tower, be prepared to die!"

"Kui brother, killing him so easily is too lenient. Look at Mitian City, and look at our men... Even if he died a thousand times, it couldn’t vent the hatred in my heart." War God Wan Zhi angrily spoke.

Following closely, the other three spoke as well.

"In this battle, we’ve lost fourteen Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted. Letting him just die like that is too lenient."

"Mitian City mostly destroyed, countless casualties. Our Battle Division’s Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted lost fourteen, a severe blow. I propose taking him back to the Battle Division, imprisoning him under the Deep Abyss Pool, tormenting him for thousands of years."

"Tormenting for a thousand years is not enough, far from enough! He must be tormented until his dying day, or my men died for nothing! Under me, I only had five Half-Step Celestial Void, and today they all perished!"

The trio glared angrily at the place where the Sword Demon fell, angrily speaking.

Kui Qing heard, his brows trembled, thinking of his fallen men made his heart ache, immediately abandoning the idea of killing the Sword Demon directly, saying, "Then it’s decided. Killing him so quickly really is too lenient!"

Amidst the smoke.

Bang ——

The rubble exploded.

The Sword Demon leaped up, dispersing the dust before standing atop the pile of shattered stones.

He touched the already broken Angel’s Left Wing, then red-eyed, raising his gaze skyward.

Intending to fight again!

But just then, the Sword Demon suddenly paused.

Then, he muttered to himself.

"Sect Leader, could you not come out so soon? Let me fight them a bit longer."

Wen Ping’s voice sounded, "Do as you wish later, but today settle them first. The enemy who invades, this Sect Leader will not allow him to live a moment longer."
