Chapter 1089: Preparations (III)
“It’s not just a matter of Saints,” said Vice Head Qi. He knew why Li Hao was worried. “But also that there are a lot of defensive systems within the main cities. They can even be activated when the situation is critical.”
He was levying more pressure on Li Hao, but also found his own words humorous after saying them. “Of course, there’s not much threat from a newly awakened main city, even if there’s Saints to be found within them. You should be able to handle them. At the same time, it’s been twenty-one years since the first awakening. I would be skeptical of any claim that a main city has just revitalized...”
“Why must the senior create unlimited pressure for me?” Li Hao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“I’m simply speaking the truth,” asserted the vice head. “I do not recommend you to attack any main city before you reach thirty-six meridians! Not even thirty-six are enough! If we are to consider the worst case scenarios before we fight, then the most extreme situation we can encounter is a completely recovered Saint. It’s fine if they’re an initial Saint, but if they’re a peak Saint like Dean Zhang... you’ll need one hundred meridians to take him!”
Li Hao took a deep breath. The most extreme situation...
But just considering all this was of no use whatsoever. He could only bow his head to fate if that was the case.
Most of the Silver Moon martial masters erupted with strength as they spoke, eliciting roars of outrage from the darkspirit tree. Its primary body was on the battlefield and numerous cracks scored its trunk, but it remained formidable.
It relied on the strength of its primary body to force the invaders back. Li Hao’s contingent could not overwhelm it with force despite their numbers. This was just a newly awakened peak Immortal! The tree had very little strength to call upon and was even weaker than the redwood tree.
Li Hao simply watched on the sidelines, wondering what he would do if he met a Saint?
That was almost an inevitable outcome!
He could force thirty-six meridians open, would he be able to open forty-six if he added his nine elements and the body dao meridian? Were forty-six meridians enough to triumph over a Saint? How long could his physical body last after they were all opened? Ten seconds, or thirty?
