He was well aware of the current situation.
Although the Divine King Bow was powerful, the negative impact of forcibly activating it now would far exceed expectations.
At that moment, he felt that his right hand had completely gone numb and his five fingers could not be bent. This was the damage to his meridians caused by the recoil force of the Divine King Bow.
The ancient star in his dantian dimmed again, and new cracks even appeared on its surface.
What is even more serious is the erosion of spirit and soul.
Activating the Divine King Bow required the consumption of a large amount of Daoist energy. His soul was now as weak as if it had been emptied, making it difficult for him to maintain even basic consciousness.
My vision was blurry, my ears were ringing, and I felt like I could pass out at any moment.
Meanwhile for the league the defeat was too heavy.
Earth Fire Ancestor died, True Man Xuanwei fell in battle, three Five Element Sect elders were seriously injured and two others were slightly injured, Heavenly Sword Pavilion lost two sword elders and dozens of elite disciples, more than half of the monsters in Ten Thousand Beast Valley were killed or injured, and 30% of the beast tamers died in battle
If we continue fighting, even if we manage to wipe out the remaining enemy forces, we won’t have many soldiers left on our side.
At that time, let alone launching a counterattack against the Evil Path Palace, even defending oneself would be a problem.
“Listen to fellow Daoist David’s advice, retreat!”
Jin Buhuan gritted his teeth and gave the order. The Five Element Sect leader’s eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse like a broken fire blower.
How could he not want to pursue them, wipe out the remaining enemies, and avenge his fallen comrades?
But as the sect leader, he had to be responsible for his surviving disciples.
Although Li Baichuan and Dugu Ao were reluctant, they knew that this was the only option.
Li Baichuan’s Three-headed Fiery Lion King was already on the verge of death, and he himself had lost an arm and was bleeding profusely. If he continued fighting, he would definitely die.
Dugu Ao’s iron sword was covered in cracks and could shatter completely at any time, while his own sword intent had also become unstable due to excessive consumption.
“Retreat!” said the two almost simultaneously.
The remaining disciples of the three major sects began to retreat in an orderly manner.
The seriously injured were taken away first, the lightly injured helped each other, and the dead could only be buried hastily, without even time to erect a monument.
Supported by the Red Cloud Demon Lord, David looked at the battlefield one last time.
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, severed limbs and broken arms, as well as scorched land that stretched for miles.
The blood of the Earth Fire Ancestor and the Mysterious and Refined True Man had long seeped into the earth, mixing with the blood of countless fallen warriors, turning the entire land dark red.
There was a faint sound of sobbing carried by the wind; it was the surviving students who mourned their fallen comrades.
The air was filled with the foul smell of blood and burnt flesh, mixed with the sinister aura of reincarnation and demonic energy from the Lower Realm, creating a disgusting atmosphere of death.
David gripped the Divine King’s Bow tightly in his hand. The bow was ice cold, but it felt as if hot blood was flowing within it.
That was the blood of the Earth Fire Ancestor and the Mysterious and Refined True Man, the blood of countless fallen warriors, the blood of hatred, the blood of vengeance.
“Zhan E’s Bloody Underworld”
He muttered to himself, every word seemed to squeeze out from between his teeth, carrying deep hatred and an indelible oath.
“Today’s grudge will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!”
“The day I return will be the day you all are destroyed!”
