Chapter 1040 (1/2)

An eerie silence lingered around the battlefield now that no one was fighting The people on the ground were anxiously waiting for the cos were also anxiously waiting for the other side to le hostile

The stalemate between the two sides was broken in terms of numbers The allied schools lost two ained two s wouldn't look good for the allied schools Not even Qin Bangjie would be able to make up for the difference Four class seven soulbeasts were one thing, but these two Late-stage Soul Kings wouldn't be as easy…

The Yao clan being able to control a large army of soulbeasts was just a tejie just had to kill the soulbeasts around him and then he'd be able to clean up the rest of the battlefield and lead the troops to victory All they needed was tione The arrival of Dan Teng and Wu Dijian made sure of that Should the allied schools resume their attack, their best case scenario would most certainly be a pyrrhic victory…

Everyone's eyes naturally gravitated towards Qin Bangjie He was the strongest one there and the acting leader of the allied schools, though the Wind Lightning School and Beast Taht not see hijie wasn't
