Chapter 1056: Chapter 978: If You Want to Escape, Then Let You Escape!

It can be said that if even one of the five War Gods from the Battle Division had a bit of backbone and delayed calling for support, Wen Ping would be confident in having the Wood Dragon and others harvest them all.

If the five nearly invincible War Gods under the Celestial Unrestricted were to die, it would undoubtedly be a massive blow to the Battle Division of the Covering Sky Tower.

Their fall could serve as a warning to the entire Covering Sky Tower.

Those who offend the Immortal Sect, must be killed!

If you want revenge, then be prepared to pay an even greater price than today!

Moreover, their deaths could provide Wen Ping with more controllable corpses, and the top combat power of the Immortal Sect could rise significantly.

Unfortunately.

They were not that courageous.

After the token shattered, the best scenario in Wen Ping’s mind was destined to come to nothing.

Even if the talk of a quarter-hour was a smokescreen, it was impossible for the Wood Dragon and the others to kill the uncommitted and escape-minded Kui Qing and his four comrades in a short time.

"Kui Qing, since you all like to escape, then as the Sect Leader, I’ll let you escape to your heart’s content," Wen Ping focused his gaze on Jing Wuxing, who was being pursued by the Netherworld Black Dragon King and the Wintery Ice Dragon King, "Then I’ll kill you first!"

Wen Ping immediately set his heart thought in motion.

Command issued!

Wood Dragon and Dark Stream Annihilation, abandon the pursuit of Wan Zhi and Bu Jin!

Instead, encircle and annihilate Jing Wuxing, make sure to kill Jing Wuxing in the shortest time possible!

The moment the command was issued, the Wood Dragon ceased its relentless pursuit, quickly turned back, and its ghostly green dragon eyes locked onto Jing Wuxing traversing through the Sea of Clouds. Then it turned into a stream of light rushing toward the sky, heading directly for Jing Wuxing.

At this time, Wan Zhi, who was being hunted by the Wood Dragon, was completely caught off guard.

He was not aware that the Wood Dragon was no longer chasing him.

Out of sheer terror, Wan Zhi continued to dash through the sky at full speed, sometimes rushing into the clouds, sometimes darting through the woods and across the plains.

Meanwhile, Dark Stream Annihilation also stopped pursuing Bu Jin, instead wielding its giant Black Scythe and charging into the clouds to slash at Jing Wuxing, sealing off Jing Wuxing’s path downward.

Similarly, Bu Jin, who was solely thinking about escaping to buy time, also didn’t realize what had happened.

The two of them only realized that their pursuers, the Wood Dragon and Dark Stream Annihilation, had changed targets when Kui Qing shouted.

"What are you two still running for!"

"Are your eyes blind, and is your perception blind too?"

Kui Qing’s scolding caused the two to belatedly stop and, upon turning back, indeed saw no sign of the Wood Dragon and Dark Stream Annihilation, finally feeling relieved.

Finally not chasing.

Freed!

Just as the two sighed in relief, Kui Qing’s alarmed voice echoed again, "Damn, they want to focus on dealing with Brother Jing."

Wan Zhi and Bu Jin were stunned, and before they could look in Jing Wuxing’s direction, they heard a loud bang from the distant sky.

Boom——

When the two looked towards Jing Wuxing, they saw only the image of Jing Wuxing plummeting to the ground like a falling star.

"Brother Jing!"

"Brother Jing!"

The two cried out in shock, their relief instantly vanishing without a trace.

The Demon God of the Covering Sky Tower indeed was no longer pursuing the two of them, but they had encircled and trapped Jing Wuxing like a caged bird.

In a one-on-one, Jing Wuxing still couldn’t gain the upper hand.

Let alone one against four!

What kind of scene would that be?

The two knew it better than anyone!

Just as the two were showing expressions of shock, a word came drifting in.

"Help——"

The plummeting Jing Wuxing could only utter one word before a mouthful of hot blood surged up his throat, forcibly choking back the words he wanted to shout.

"What should we do?"

"Help or not help?"

The two exchanged a look, their faces showing the dilemma of being torn between two choices.

To help?

That would be like handing themselves over.

Not to help?

Jing Wuxing was doomed to die.

After a gaze exchange of two breaths between them, a resolution formed in their hearts, and their eyes locked onto Kui Qing, who was being chased and chopped by the Sword Demon.

"Kui Brother, what should we do?"

"Kui Brother?"

Their question left Kui Qing, who was being chased and chopped by the Sword Demon, dumbfounded. He glanced back at the Sword Demon, still pursuing like a madman, then looked at Jing Wuxing plummeting to the ground, feeling both furious and anxious.

"Knowing time is short, they concentrate all their power on targeting Jing Wuxing alone, determined to kill him before the Celestial Unrestricted experts of my Covering Sky Tower arrive, giving us no chance to delay. Wen Ping, you are ruthless!"

Kui Qing glanced at Wen Ping in the direction of the flying ship, finding himself at a loss for what to do, stuck in a dilemma.

While the three of Kui Qing hesitated, the Netherworld Black Dragon King unleashed the World-Ending Black Dragon Stomp again, charging towards the falling Jing Wuxing.

This familiar momentum.

This familiar scene.

Made the three of Kui Qing frantic and at a loss.

"It’s the move that killed Shan Tianhun!"

"Damn it!"

In a hurry, Kui Qing shouted, "Brother Wan, Brother Bu, quickly assist me in killing the Sword Demon. Only by killing the Sword Demon before the Immortal Sect can we have a glimmer of hope. Once the Sword Demon is dead, the three of us can help Brother Jing. Though we cannot win, we can hold out until Senior Jiang arrives!"

Wan Zhi and Bu Jin immediately understood, knowing this was the only way.

Now the two of them only hoped Jing Wuxing could hold on longer, and longer still.

Otherwise, not only would Jing Wuxing be doomed.

They too would be in danger.

After all, once Jing Wuxing died, they would become the targets of those Demon Gods of the Immortal Sect, or rather, one of them would.

At this moment, the Sword Demon heard Wan Zhi and Bu Jin coming to deal with him and instead let out a continuous sinister laugh, as if he had long anticipated this scene.

"Come on!"

"Everyone, come!"

Feeling the remaining energy of a small half of the Mirror-Breaking Pill in his body, he had enough to sustain the Angel Body for another hour, and the Sword Demon decided to act crazily one more time.

Killing one would be worth it.

Killing two would be a profit!

After retracting his crazed grin, the Sword Demon chose to go on the offensive, suddenly charging at the oncoming Wan Zhi and Bu Jin.

"Sword Demon, prepare to die."

"Die by my hand!"

Wan Zhi and Bu Jin’s Meridian Gates shook together, attacking the Sword Demon with full force, aiming to kill the Sword Demon in the shortest time possible.

Meanwhile, the Netherworld Black Dragon King’s Black Dragon World-Destroying Step had already descended, but since Jing Wuxing was only whipped by the Wood Dragon’s tail earlier, though his Spirit Body was injured, it had not reached a point where he couldn’t move, so he ultimately dodged this strike from the Black Dragon King.

Although the Netherworld Black Dragon King’s Black Dragon World-Destroying Step missed, the ensuing dark scythe of Dark Stream Annihilation did not swing wide.

The Black Scythe shot high into the air, then fell like lightning, fiercely striking Jing Wuxing, who had dodged the Black Dragon World-Destroying Step.

Swish——

The Black Scythe instantaneously sliced through Jing Wuxing’s body, raising a splatter of crimson blood.

Upon another look at Jing Wuxing, his chest had been cleaved open by this scythe from Dark Stream Annihilation, with blood gushing out like a fountain.

This slash wounded Jing Wuxing’s Spirit Body by three parts!

Adding the earlier tail lash from the Wood Dragon.

Jing Wuxing’s Spirit Body was now injured by over seven parts.

At this moment, Jing Wuxing, having lost the ability to release Upper Grade Earth Level Vein Technique, could barely use Lower Grade Earth Level Vein Technique.

In his eyes now, one could clearly see the beginning of despair.
