Chapter 3907 — T018 Double Eleven Special Chapter 5: The Mortal Realm — The Arrival of He Dantou
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
The Iron-Robed Ancestor and the others were on the verge of tears. They had been savagely suppressed by Qiu Lingshan's six before, and now at long last He Dantou had arrived—yet before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, the situation was reversed again in the blink of an eye.
That was not how the game was played! This was downright shameless!
Seeing the Iron-Robed Sect men on the brink of collapse, He Dantou spoke up at the critical moment: "So what if they have numbers? They're nothing but a pack of fake Heaven-Tier Great Perfection masters cobbled together by some trick or other. What is there to fear? Kill them all for your President!"
With that, He Dantou took the lead and charged at Chen Yuxuan and the rest. Even among Heaven-Tier Great Perfection masters, the gaps in strength could be vast—he refused to believe his eight could not take down these nine greenhorns across from them!
And indeed, things went just as He Dantou had expected. Though Qiu Lingshan's side held the advantage in numbers, once the real fighting began that advantage was far from obvious—after all, they were ahead by only one man and two spirit beasts!
He Dantou and his people were, after all, seasoned veterans. In a melee involving dozens of fighters, rich practical experience mattered as much as raw strength; thus they could at least offset their numerical disadvantage in the overall situation, and the two sides fought to a deadlock, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Neither side had anticipated this sudden fierce battle. He Dantou and the Iron-Robed Sect men had never expected Wei Zhao to have so many Heaven-Tier Great Perfection masters under him, and Qiu Lingshan's group had never expected the Iron-Robed Sect to call in He Dantou.
In tiny East Sea City, more than a dozen Heaven-Tier Great Perfection masters had suddenly gathered and were locked in furious combat. Had they not each been wary of the others and dared not unleash their grand techniques at will, the whole of East Sea would likely have been razed to the ground in an instant.
Even so, given time, being razed was only a matter of course. Fortunately, Qiu Lingshan and the others had moved the unconscious women elsewhere beforehand; otherwise, with their hands tied, this battle today would have been far harder to fight.
At first, both sides had still been wary of one another, but the longer they fought, the hotter their tempers grew, and one scruple after another was cast to the back of their minds. Fight on like this, and casualties were inevitable.
Though Qiu Lingshan's group had the numbers and did not come off the worse on the field, their individual strength was, after all, inferior. Perhaps they would not lose in the end, but if casualties did occur, the first to fall would surely be one of them.
"Hmph, these are just green chicks who've never seen blood—flashy goods with a Heaven-Tier Great Perfection realm and nothing behind it. Kill a couple of them in the chaos to strike terror into the rest, and this loose sand will crumble without a fight!" He Dantou had already spotted their weakness. He shot a look at the others, ready to unleash a killing move and take one of them out first.
That was the benefit of experience—no matter how chaotic the field, a veteran could find the breaking point. Otherwise, if the fight dragged on like this, it was not impossible that a flurry of random blows would fell the old master; even He Dantou himself could not say for certain whether he would make it out alive.
But if they first found a chance to gang up and finish one of them, the situation would be different. Once the deadlock was broken, even if the two sides were evenly matched on paper, it could well turn into a rout in the end, without exacting too grievous a price.
