Chapter 1617 Composed
âLord Holy God, should we head out and help Jiuyang and the rest?â The Saints knelt on one knee and asked Holy God.
âThe teleportation nexus has already been destroyed. How are you going to help them?â Holy God said indifferently.
âWellâŠâ The Saints were rendered speechless.
âIs there nothing you can do, Lord Holy God?â a Saint asked.
âThereâs naturally a way, but itâs not that easy to leave. Itâs too late now. Besides, even if you are sent out, what can you do with your strength?â Holy God said expressionlessly.
The Saints fell silent. Jiuyang and company were already the cream of the crop among the Saints. They were still unable to defeat Zhou Wen despite being augmented by the Holy Artifacts. Even if they could leave, they wouldnât be of much use in such a battle. It would even be difficult for them to participate in the battle.
âYou think too little of yourself. How can the Saints of the Holy Land only have this little ability? Watch carefully. The show has just begun,â Holy God said with a deep gaze.
Just as Holy God had said, for Jiuyang and company to stand out in the cruel environment of the Holy Land and become the controllers of the Holy Artifact meant that they were no pushovers. Old K used the scepter to block Bamboo Blade and shouted at Jiuyang and Xiao in a deep voice, âAt this stage, thereâs no need to hold back. If we canât kill him here today, how can we face Lord Holy God?â His words were fervent, but there was another underlying meaning. In fact, he wanted to tell Jiuyang and Xiao that if they couldnât kill Zhou Wen, Holy God probably wouldnât let them off easily even if they returned to the Holy Land.
The punishment ranged from having the Holy Artifact confiscated to a life-threatening situation.
Xiao and Jiuyang also knew that the Holy Land was definitely not holy. There was too much cruel competition there. Once they failed, once they made a huge mistake, countless Saints would crawl over their corpses to take their place.
To the six Holy Temples, they werenât completely irreplaceable. At the very least, not yet.
Xiao and Jiuyang exchanged looks as the Sun God Bead in Jiuyangâs arms lit up. His entire body seemed to turn into light as he charged at Zhou Wen with terrifyingly high temperatures.
Previously, although Jiuyang had also emitted the Sun God Light, he had only used powerful destructive power. He didnât have such terrifyingly high temperatures that could melt
things.
On the other side, the ring on Xiaoâs finger emitted a strange glow, causing his body to distort strangely. Even his figure was almost indiscernible.
When he attacked Zhou Wen, his figure seemed to distort strangely in space. He clearly looked like he was going one direction, but he would appear in another.
Zhou Wenâs saber that slashed at Xiao failed to touch him.
Old K tried his best to channel his scepter, but he only managed to make it a little stronger. It didnât produce any stronger effects.
Even so, it placed Zhou Wen in danger.
Bang!
When Bamboo Blade met Jiuyangâs fist, although Bamboo Blade was extremely hard and was only at the Terror grade, it wasnât inferior to a Calamity-grade weapon. However, it bent under Jiuyangâs fist. Even Zhou Wenâs body was sent retreating. However, once the force dissipated, Bamboo Bladeâs blade bounced back.
Xiaoâs figure was like a wandering soul as he dodged the scabbard slash that Zhou Wen delivered with his left hand. He stuck close to Zhou Wen, his sharp nails slashing at his neck. Zhou Wen had already tried his best to dodge, but he was still a little slow. The armor around his neck had a deep mark that almost reached Zhou Wenâs skin.
Zhou Wen immediately felt the pressure increase. Xiao and Jiuyang gave him immense trouble.
âIs it still too much? He should be summoning his Companion Beasts, right?â Xia Liuchuan said after some thought.
âXiao and Jiuyang will probably become our archenemies in the future. I wonder how many Saints like them there are in the Holy Land,â Zhang Chunqiu said after some thought.
âWho knows? Those Saints all have terrifying talent. I wonder where the Holy Land found so many children to nurture.â Xia Liuchuan thought for a moment and said, âThankfully, even if they have talent and resources, they might not be able to become true experts. It depends on their beliefs and comprehension. There probably arenât many Saints like Xiao and Jiuyang in the Holy Land.â
âEven if there arenât many, there are six temples,â Zhang Chunqiu said. âOld K is clearly inferior. If the other Holy Artifacts wielders are like Old K, it will be much easier for us to deal with them,â Xia Liuchuan said.
However, Zhang Chunqiu shook his head and said, âDonât underestimate Old K. Although his combat strength and talent are inferior to Xiao and Jiuyang, strength may not be all that matters. The strength he possesses isnât primary. His ability to control the overall situation is what heâs good at.â
âDidnât you realize that Old K has been making up for the flaws caused by Xiao and Jiuyangâs attacks?â Zhang Chunqiu glared at Xia Liuchuan.
âNaturally. However, I still think that Xiao and Jiuyang are more terrifying,â Xia Liuchuan said with a smile.
Zhang Chunqiu didnât wish to harp on this problem. As he looked at the satelliteâs screen, he muttered to himself, âLetâs see how Zhou Wen plans on dealing with it. Even if he summons a Companion Beast, he might not be able to control it well in such a fast-paced battle.â
Everyone felt that Zhou Wen would summon a Companion Beast at any moment, but after waiting for a while, Zhou Wen still had no intention of summoning one.
And his current situation was deteriorating. Under the crazy siege of the three Saints, wounds constantly appeared on his body.
âThatâs more like a Saint.â Holy God was very satisfied with the trioâs performance, especially Xiao and Jiuyangâs. It even surprised him.
The two of them grew unimaginably fast. Every Saint in the Holy Land was a genius, but in comparison, the other Saints appeared too mediocre.
Holy God had already begun thinking that he should raise the standard when searching for the wielders of the Holy Artifacts for the other three temples. He should search for people using Xiao and Jiuyang as the benchmark. A Saint like Godsfall definitely didnât deserve being a Holy Son.
Itâs about time he summons a Companion Beast, right? Holy God was also guessing when Zhou Wen would summon a Companion Beast. Zhou Wen had no intention of summoning a Companion Beast. He constantly brandished the Bamboo Blade as his body moved with the saberâs force. Although he was in a predicament, his actions remained composed.
To put it simply, even if his face was beaten until it swelled like a pigâs head, his hair never turned messy.
