Chapter 728 - 673: The Mysterious ’That Thing
The death of a Semi-Saint dealt an undoubtedly terrifying blow to the entire Merchant Group, and in an instant, the group’s morale suffered a severe hit.
Many of the Mercenary Group’s powerhouses began to struggle, showing an increasingly severe trend of consecutive retreats.
Boom, boom, boom—
Above the Nine-layered Sky, endless fireworks exploded directly, rumbling thunderously, whistling through the heavens, dispersing layers of clouds, even the terrible black storms were obliterated and blasted apart in many places.
Only the epic battle between the two Great Saints truly pertained to the outcome of both sides, but it seemed there was no distinction between them, neither the eighteenth Great Bandit Wang Tian nor the Old Saint could determine a victor quickly, still locked in a stalemate.
Meanwhile, the battle on the ground had already begun to show a one-sided trend, with the Merchant Group completely on the retreat, and many had fallen into despair.
Even several powerful Mercenary Group leaders had been slaughtered, dealing an even heavier blow to their forces.
Ye Chen sighed faintly without any intention to rescue those people, for to venture deep into the Stealing Heaven Plain in pursuit of exorbitant trading profits signified readiness to cast life and death aside.
However, some people from the Merchant Group began to cry out in despair, hugging their wives and daughters in agony, adding a touch more misery to the scene.
"What on earth is it that Great Bandit Wang Tian covets so much, and why won’t they hand it over even now? Do they really need to wait until they’re completely cornered?" some lamented.
