Chapter 1463 Defense Line Broken (2/2)
Zhuan Zhu and the other eight Saints standing beside Zhou Yuan also fell silent. They had fought huge battles one after another in the past half a month and as a result their Saint powers were somewhat weakened due to the injuries they sustained.
The Sacred Race Saints had managed to wound them due to various reasons. Fortunately, they weren’t severely injured.
Zhou Yuan peered in other directions of the island. Many figures were hovering in the air on all sides of the island. They were the Cangxuan Heaven Law Domain experts who followed him here.
They were originally assigned to different subspaces to provide defense, but those subspaces had collapsed and so they all gathered together again.
It was obvious that the number of people was less than that at the beginning.
Among the crowd, Zhou Yuan saw Li Chunjun, Chu Qing, Zuoqiu Qingyu, Li Qingchan and others who he hadn’t seen in over half a year.
Their expressions were much fiercer and sharper than usual and an unconcealable murderous rage was emitted from them.
Even Luluo, who was pure and innocent, was much quieter than usual and her big and bright eyes were filled with chilling intent.
It wasn’t that they had limited battle experience, but those battles had a different atmosphere compared with this cruel and ruthless war.
Zhou Yuan retracted his gaze, and then swept a glance over everyone. All gazes, filled with respect, awe, nervousness and apprehension were also focussed on him.
“Everyone, the current situation is very unfavorable to us.” Zhou Yuan's voice resounded.
“The defense we have worked so hard to maintain for more than half a year has completely collapsed and the Sacred Race army might now be charging over in a place not far from this subspace.
“But I don't intend to retreat. I will continue to stand here and clash with the Sacred Race.
“Because not far behind this space is Cangxuan Heaven.
“If we give up on this space so easily, it won’t be long before the Sacred Race army near Cangxuan Heaven.
“And our family, sect, clan and relatives will be shrouded in the Sacred Race army’s shadow and be in constant fear.
“So I don't want to retreat, what about you all?!” His fierce voice echoed like a rumble of thunder, shaking the surrounding space.
There was utter silence, but everyone's eyes grew fierce, sharp and with a determined glint.
“Heaven Master Zhou Yuan, my uncle died in front of my eyes a few days ago, but I don't want to retreat because I know that, even if I could retreat today, I won’t have a chance next time!” A Law Domain expert suddenly said out loud with a hoarse voice. His face twisted with hatred and killing intent.
“We won’t retreat!”
“We won’t retreat!”
Roars rang one after another and everyone’s eyes were red with murderous intent.
Cangxuan Heaven was just behind them. Where else could they retreat to?! They were the elite experts in Cangxuan Heaven and they had enjoyed many opportunities and blessings in the Blessings Tower provided by Cangxuan Heaven. They had obtained its benefits but they wanted to flee when they had to make a sacrifice? If they really fled, they would be scolded and spat on by thousands of people. Wouldn’t that be more unbearable than death?
As those roars rang in Zhou Yuan’s ears, he closed his eyes slightly and drew a deep breath. He waved his hand and all voices ceased.
As several figures hovered in the air, the atmosphere of an incoming storm made the air in this subspace feel stiff.
Zhou Yuan stood with hands clasped behind his back. Then, with a slight touch, the light screen in front of him dimmed and turned into a jade stone on the ground.
The light screen had no other use now.
Time quietly passed under the heavy atmosphere.
It was unknown how long passed before the space in the distance suddenly rippled and tore apart, forming a spatial vortex.
Countless eyes filled with malice peered through the vortex.
