System's Super Sect Chapter 1049 - 971: Battle Division Authority Collapses

Mitian City is left in ruins, devastated by the recent great battle.

Numerous skyscrapers have tumbled down.

Uncountable lives were lost, crushed by the erratic surge of Vein Qi unleashed from the collapsing Vein Techniques.

If the Sword Intent, capable of repelling all assaults, were to descend upon it, what a catastrophe it would bring to Mitian City and the people of the Battle Division.

Although they typically disregard the fates of the weak, this situation is different.

Now, the casualty count and the final state of Mitian City are directly linked to their honor, and the honor of the entire Battle Division.

This is a matter of sheer dignity!

"This is not good!"

"Intercept that Sword Intent!"

More than twenty individuals simultaneously showed signs of alarm, transforming into streaks of light as they pursued the Holy Light Blade Intent plummeting towards Mitian City.

However, even before the Sword Demon's Angel's Power was fully unleashed, they were already hard-pressed to contain the Holy Light Blade Intent.

It required their combined might just to block it previously.

Now, with the Sword Demon having consumed the Mirror-Breaking Pill and fully activated the Angel's Power, how could they possibly match the speed of the Holy Light Blade Intent as it was released in this amplified state?

Over twenty warriors gave chase, employing every technique at their disposal, yet could only watch with grim helplessness as the Holy Light Blade Intent continued its relentless descent towards Mitian City.

"What are we going to do? The Sword Intent is far too swift; our speed simply cannot keep pace over this limited distance!"

"Give it everything you've got! You understand the catastrophic consequences if that Sword Intent strikes Mitian City!"

"Are you still speaking?"

"Commit every ounce of your strength! If it impacts Mitian City, we will become the laughingstock of the entire Zhe Tian Tower."

The various Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted warriors from Zhe Tian Tower clenched their jaws, resolutely accelerating towards the Holy Light Blade Intent, observing the shrinking gap between themselves and the blade.

One thousand feet!

Nine hundred feet!

Yet, the Holy Light Blade Intent drew even nearer to Mitian City.

Three hundred feet!

One hundred feet!

At this critical juncture, the expressions of the numerous Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted warriors from Zhe Tian Tower were no longer etched with terror, nor were they actively pursuing the Holy Light Blade Intent.

They halted, gazing with incandescent rage and utter helplessness as the Holy Light Blade Intent finally impacted Mitian City.

Boom——

The hundred-foot Sword Intent cleaved down.

Yet it sliced through a thousand-foot swathe of Mitian City.

Subsequently, the Angel's Flame, engulfing the Holy Light Blade Intent, spread outwards like expanding ripples, transforming everything it touched into a raging inferno, consuming all.

Whether they were cultivators of the Divine Profound Realm.

Or those of the Mountain Suppression Realm.

Even the Half-Step Earth Unrestricted realm experts were not spared.

Under the voracious Angel's Flame, they weren't even afforded the chance to utter a single scream.

In merely a few breaths, once the Angel's Flame subsided, the area within three thousand feet had been reduced to scorched earth, leaving behind only the thousand-foot chasm carved by the Holy Light Blade Intent.

Witnessing this devastating spectacle, the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted warriors suspended in the air could only utter a few words of despair.

"It is finished!"

"We are utterly ruined!"

The reputation of the Battle Division was irrevocably tarnished.

Their personal reputations were similarly ruined.

However, having endured centuries of existence, these formidable warriors would not succumb to despair under such dire circumstances.

One Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted warrior promptly turned their gaze upwards towards the heavens, glaring with intense fury at the Sword Demon positioned high above, bellowing, "We must eliminate the Sword Demon! The Sword Demon must perish, or we shall never achieve prominence within the Battle Division for the remainder of our lives!"

"Precisely! If the Sword Demon remains alive, our path to prominence in the Battle Division is sealed, and we will be relegated to perpetual ridicule."

Echoing these sentiments, a multitude of Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted warriors once again charged towards the Sword Demon.

This time, all restraint was cast aside, and every fighter unleashed their concealed reserves, driven by a resolute ferocity to slay the Sword Demon.

However, the Sword Demon, empowered by the fully unleashed Angel's Power, was not an opponent to be overcome by mere fury.

How could such raw determination possibly contend against absolute madness?

Sustained by the potency of the Mirror-Breaking Pill fueling the Angel Body, the Sword Demon engaged directly in close-quarters combat with the assembled Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted warriors.

The Sword Demon consistently maintained the decisive advantage.

Thus, the fierce battle raged on without cessation, and the Sword Demon deliberately maneuvered the combat zone ever closer to Mitian City, ensuring that subsequent attacks would inflict further damage upon the city.

The warriors from Zhe Tian Tower had long since passed the point of caring; the humiliation suffered in Mitian City was already etched into the Battle Division's historical records. Now, their sole focus was on eliminating the Sword Demon to erase this shame.

Even if information regarding their Vein Techniques were to accidentally surface in Mitian City, they would pay it no mind and take no precautions.

A single, all-consuming thought dominated their minds: kill the Sword Demon!

Yet, the outcome was starkly different: the Sword Demon not only remained alive but also inflicted severe injuries upon a multitude of their own combatants.

Wave after wave of Holy Light Blade Intent shattered the assaults launched by the numerous Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted warriors of Zhe Tian Tower, striking them with devastating force.

Some individuals, after enduring two consecutive Holy Light Blade Intents, found their Spirit Bodies collapsing, rendering them incapable of even activating the power to open their Meridian Gates.

"Die!"

Seizing the critical moment, the Sword Demon unleashed a Tier Four Magic—Invincible Holy Light. Moving in an invincible state that bypassed all defenses, their sword pierced directly through the heart of an unfortunate warrior!

Pfft!

In a brutal display, the Sword Demon lifted the fallen foe high into the air, holding them aloft like a triumphant banner for all to witness.

The citizens of Mitian City observed this grim spectacle.

The members of the Battle Division bore witness.

The vast array of Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted warriors present could not avert their gaze.

Naturally, Chen Xie, Long Ke, and the others within Jin Zhi Tower also saw the unfolding events.

Upon witnessing this scene, Long Ke could not suppress an exclamation.

"The Sword Demon Elder's might could truly be considered the strongest beneath the Celestial Unrestricted realm, could it not? If this battle were to be chronicled in the Immortal Daily, even if only the residents of the Red Domain were to see it, it wouldn't be long before the entire You Country would be aware of the Sword Demon's formidable reputation!"

Long Ke let out a sigh before his gaze shifted to Chen Xie, who was seated comfortably in a nearby square chair. Chen Xie held a brightly colored melon in one hand, casually eating while erupting in cheers.

"What a magnificent slash!"

Observing this, Long Ke could only offer a wry smile.

Meanwhile, as the intense battle raged overhead, the inhabitants of Mitian City and the personnel of the Battle Division scrambled to evacuate the city. Due to the aerial nature of the conflict, they dared not flee through the sky and were forced to navigate by leaping from rooftop to rooftop to escape Mitian City.

At this critical juncture, no one dared to remain within the confines of Mitian City. Regardless of the immense wealth accumulated in their homes, their sole concern was their own survival.

During their frantic escape, shouts of desperation could be heard.

"At this rate, Mitian City is destined to become a complete wasteland. Why haven't the Battle Division's war gods made an appearance yet?"

"What are the esteemed war gods of the Battle Division occupied with? If they do not intervene swiftly, the entirety of Mitian City will be annihilated! What exactly is the Battle Division doing?"

"The Battle Division boasts of its immense power, yet they cannot even contend with a single Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted master from an Immortal Sect. What utter incompetence!"

Such critical words were previously unspoken, words they would never have dared to utter in normal circumstances.

However, amidst their current desperate flight, they found the courage to voice their complaints.

Not only did they dare to speak, but they also dared to shout their grievances towards the heavens.

The members of the Battle Division overheard these audaciously spoken words but dared not assert their usual dominance. They could only join the fleeing masses, making their way towards the outskirts of Mitian City.

At this precise moment, five furious figures could be seen rapidly descending from the distant sky.

Their speed was astonishing!

Within mere seconds, they had already arrived just outside the boundaries of Mitian City!
