Chapter 789 – Flood The City With Blood! (2/2)

Supreme Exalt He swung his palm downwards, and 2 defiant profounders were instantly slapped into pieces. The other defiant profounders immediately stopped fighting when they witnessed this scene, and they gazed at Supreme Exalt He with solemn expressions on their faces.

Yang Ye’s heart shook when he saw Supreme Exalt He and the others, and he cursed in his heart. He had no doubt that all of this would stop here. After all, even if a corpse was lying right in front of him, he wouldn’t dare touch it while Supreme Exalt He and Supreme Exalt Mu were here.

Once Supreme Exalt He’s group arrived, the 2 forces in battle had split apart and stood in confrontation with each other.

Unexpectedly, Supreme Exalt He’s group didn’t attack the defiant profounders.

Supreme Exalt He merely glanced coldly at the defiant profounders, and then his gaze swept through the Half-Saints of the Hallowed Grounds before he said, “What’s going on?”

“They broke through the formation!” said one of the Half-Saints.

“The Saber Emperor, Xu Qianye?” The expressions on the faces of Supreme Exalt He and the others changed slightly. If there was someone amongst the defiant profounders that they feared and even felt terrified about, then it was definitely the leader of the defiant profounders, the Saber Emperor, Xu Qianye. After all, he was an existence who could fight the Hallowed Lord!

That Half-Saint shook his head and said, “It wasn’t. It was a white haired defiant profounder. He broke open the formation with a single stab of his sword.”

“A white haired defiant profounder?”

Supreme Exalt He and the others frowned. Supreme Exalt He was just about to speak when someone amongst the profounders of the Hallowed Grounds shouted, “Supreme Exalt He, Supreme Exalt Mu, kill the defiant profounders and make the might of our Hallowed Grounds known! Kill the defiant profounders! Kill the defiant profounders….”

“Kill the defiant profounders!”

“Kill….”

All the experts of the Hallowed Grounds started to shout loudly as well. The defiant profounders hated them, and they hated the defiant profounders as well. During this period of time, countless people related to them had died at the hands of the defiant profounders, and it was even to the extent that their loved ones were amongst the dead. So, how could they not hate the defiant profounders?

Supreme Exalt He and Supreme Exalt Mu’s faces were unsightly. They weren’t afraid of these defiant profounders because there were no supreme experts amongst them. The Hallowed Grounds would definitely win the battle. However, they didn’t want to. Because the outcome of that would be one where both sides were heavily injured. Moreover, once they killed these defiant profounders, then it would definitely draw over even more defiant profounders!

“He’s that Supreme Exalt He who insulted all of us!” Meanwhile, someone suddenly pointed at Supreme Exalt He from amongst the group of defiant profounders. In an instant, the gazes of countless defiant profounders descended onto Supreme Exalt He, and their eyes were filled with ghastly killing intent. If they weren’t afraid of the strength possessed by Supreme Exalt He and the others, they would have attacked by now.

Supreme Exalt He frowned. He wasn’t able to figure out why they were so hostile to him. After all, every single one of them seemed as if they wished for nothing more than to drink his blood!

The defiant profounders feared Supreme Exalt He’s group, and Supreme Exalt He’s group feared the defiant profounders as well. They naturally could gain victory over this group of defiant profounders. But if they did kill these defiant profounders, it would be no different than destroying the peace that had been maintained between both sides for so long. It would spoil their plans!

“Let’s retreat for now!” Someone spoke abruptly from amidst the defiant profounders.

The other defiant profounders exchanged glances, and they nodded. Too few of them had come to attack the city this time. After all, there were only about 2,000 here. Moreover, they didn’t have any high-grade Half-Saints amongst them. All of them were ordinary and mid-grade Half-Saints.

While they were arrogant and proud, they were no fools. Fighting the Hallowed Grounds to the death with so few forces was undoubtedly a foolish action!

Supreme Exalt He instantly heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that they intended to retreat. He didn’t want to fight them as well. Because suffering heavy losses on both sides wasn’t beneficial to either side. That was exactly why they’d been hiding within the city!

At this moment, the retreat of the defiant profounders was undoubtedly the best outcome.

Right when they were about to retreat, an unexpected event suddenly occurred. A ray of light suddenly shot out from the group of experts from the Hallowed Grounds, and it instantly smashed against the chest of one of the defiant profounders. That defiant profounder wasn’t harmed, and only his s.h.i.+rt was blasted apart.

Everyone here was stunned.

After being stunned for a moment, that defiant profounder immediately flared up, “The Hallowed Grounds won’t let us leave! Kill! One is enough, two is a gain for us! Kill!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately charged forward!

As for the defiant profounders who stood around him, they charged forward as well. Obviously, they felt that the Hallowed Grounds refused to let them leave. Since it was like that, it was better to take at least one member of the Hallowed Grounds down with them!

“Who did that!?” Supreme Exalt He was furious. However, he didn’t have the time to consider that question because numerous defiant profounders had charged over to him.

Bang!

Suddenly, numerous defiant profounders flashed in from the city gates, and there were even a few high-grade Half-Saints amongst them!

“Flood the city with blood!” Someone howled amidst the battle!

Supreme Exalt He’s face instantly warped when he heard this voice, and he roared with fury, “Yang Ye! I’ll tear you into pieces!”
