The assault on Xie Tian by the six supreme geniuses of the Nine States abruptly halted.
"Shameless!"
"Despicable!"
"All you do is call for help!"
"Dare to duel!"
...
Seeing Xie's army approaching with darkened expressions, the six geniuses only hurled harsh words before hurriedly fleeing.
"Do you think this tactic will work?"
"It should, right? Didn't you use this to snap me out of it after foster father died..."
"Hard to tell, Xie Tian, this guy keeps everything to himself..."
"Ah, Xie's army is his lifeblood..."
...
Xie Tian lay on the ground, the bitter smile on his face slowly receding, replaced by calm.
The pain from the beating by the six could not ease the pain in his heart.
Hong Ren died in battle.
Zhao Chao died in battle.
Gu Sha died in battle.
...
The loss of too many familiar faces deepened the sorrow already tearing at Xie Tian's heart due to Wen Shui's passing.
