System's Super Sect Chapter 1050 - 972: Broken-Winged Angel

"They are back!"

Within the All-knowing Pavilion, Chen Xie and Long Ke simultaneously rose from their seats with swift movements.

In the skies above Mitian City, numerous Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses displayed expressions of ecstatic surprise at this very moment.

"They’re back!"

"The masters have returned!"

The remaining dozen or so Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses exclaimed in astonishment, akin to individuals trapped in a perilous quagmire, witnessing a savior appear on the brink of despair.

The return of the five War Gods signifies that the Battle Division's authority, which was on the verge of collapse, can finally be stabilized.

With the five War Gods making their comeback, the Sword Demon's triumphant days are undeniably numbered.

While they might be no match for the Sword Demon individually, their combined forces with the five War Gods will ensure the Sword Demon's demise!

Regardless of how formidable the Sword Demon may be, he ultimately remains just a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted cultivator!

Even if he appears invincible.

He is not, however, an invincible entity.

"Sword Demon, your execution date has arrived!"

"With the triumphant return of my Battle Division’s five War Gods, you are utterly insignificant on your own; let's see how much longer you can remain arrogant. Prepare for your death!"

Hearing the successive enraged shouts, the Sword Demon remained completely unfazed, a faint smile playing on the corner of his mouth.

Within that smile, there was an unspoken anticipation that no one could comprehend!

The Angel’s Sword descended without delay, the Holy Light Blade Intent once again sliced through the heavens, shattering numerous Vein Technique assaults and striking down a previously injured Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted powerhouse who had been lurking in the rear.

The other Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses could only observe this unfolding scene, utterly powerless to intervene.

Even if that individual survived, their capacity to fight was irrevocably lost.

This was the Sword Demon's definitive response to the arrival of the five War Gods!

"Insolent fool!"

Immediately thereafter, a voice like rolling thunder boomed through the sky.

Accompanying this powerful voice, ripple-like azure Vein Qi surged outwards across the sky.

As these ripples expanded, they instantly enveloped the entirety of Mitian City, directly dispelling all Vein Techniques that were impacting the city during the battle.

The Sword Demon's actions were also brought to a halt.

The Sword Demon ceased his movements, his gaze sharply locked onto the five Battle Division War Gods who had stationed themselves a thousand meters away; the smile he wore widened even further.

"You have finally arrived."

The Sword Demon spoke with an evident smile.

He recognized the five individuals standing before him.

Kui Qing.

Wan Zhi.

Bu Jin.

Jing Wuxing.

Shan Tianhun!

These five renowned Battle Division War Gods were notorious figures on the battlefield, practically mythical beings even over a century ago.

Throughout those many years, You Country made numerous attempts to dispatch powerful individuals to eliminate them, but all their efforts proved futile against these five.

This was because eliminating even a single one of them required no less than two Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses who surpassed them in strength.

However, at the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted level, You Country possessed a very limited number of cultivators stronger than these five.

Consequently, no matter how much You Country detested them, they were left powerless.

Naturally, deploying Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses could easily achieve their demise.

But the Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses from the Meridian Gate would not stand idly by.

If the Celestial Unrestricted experts from You Country were to act, would the Celestial Unrestricted experts from the Meridian Gate remain indifferent?

These once infamous figures on the battlefield now stood directly before him.

The Sword Demon felt a surge of exhilaration.

Truly, he was thrilled!

Kui Qing glared fiercely at the Sword Demon, then surveyed the devastated Mitian City and the remaining dozen or so Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted individuals.

The more he observed, the greater his anger grew.

"Sword Demon, you have brought this calamity upon yourself!"

With those words, Kui Qing and the other four simultaneously opened the Meridian Gate.

Bang—

The Meridian Gate vibrated intensely.

The surging momentum shook the very heavens.

The instant the five opened the Meridian Gate, they launched forward explosively; five colossal shadows of varying colors materialized simultaneously in the sky, proceeding to launch an assault on the Sword Demon.

The sheer force emanating from the five completely overwhelmed the aura that had previously defined the unstoppable Sword Demon.

If the Sword Demon's momentum was likened to a towering mountain before, now an even mightier mountain had abruptly appeared, eclipsing it entirely.

"Invincible Holy Light!"

The Sword Demon displayed absolute fearlessness, casting the Tier Four Magic spell, Invincible Holy Light, once more.

Bathed in the resplendent Holy Light, the Sword Demon unfurled his wings, neither retreating nor yielding, but advancing to meet the combined attack of the five head-on.

Kui Qing witnessed this and exclaimed in fury, " Truly seeking death!"

However, just as these words left his lips, a warning alarm sounded.

"Be cautious, the Sword Demon's techniques are notoriously insidious; even a full barrage of our Vein Techniques might not leave a mark on him!"

As the urgent warning echoed, the five unleashed their Vein Techniques, enveloping the Sword Demon. Yet, in the very next instant, he emerged from the assault completely unharmed.

Following this, the Holy Light Blade Intent descended, aimed directly at the group of five.

"How intriguing!" Kui Qing scoffed, raising his hand. The Meridian Gate within him pulsed once more, and his four companions, in perfect synchronicity, opened their own Meridian Gates, weaving together a formidable Vein Array. A Water Shield, vast enough to obscure the sun, materialized before them.

The Holy Light Blade Intent plunged into the shield, vanishing utterly as if a clay effigy had met the sea. The formidable Holy Light Blade Intent, which had seemed unstoppable moments before, failed to even disturb the surface of the Water Shield.

Observing this, the Sword Demon’s gaze intensified, and he began to slash repeatedly.

A cascade of Holy Light Blade Intents rained down from the heavens, only to be absorbed by the Water Shield, disappearing without a trace.

Kui Qing let out a smug chuckle. "I am not like them. Sword Demon, your blade intent might appear fearsome before me, but it is ultimately nothing but an illusion."

With those words, the five immediately dismantled the Vein Array.

As the Water Escape technique dissipated, so too did the invincible Holy Light surrounding the Sword Demon.

The other four members chimed in.

"The Vortex Water Mirror possesses the ability to absorb all Vein Techniques. It is recognized as one of the ten most potent Vein Array Shields offered by Cover Heaven Tower. To believe you alone can shatter it is pure delusion!"

"Sword Demon, brace yourself for death!"

Following this pronouncement, the five surged forward, striking the Sword Demon simultaneously.

Covering a distance of hundreds of feet in an instant, the five closed in, each landing a decisive blow upon the Sword Demon, driving him forcefully into the ground.

Boom!

Boom!

The impact sent the Sword Demon crashing through multiple towering mountains before he finally came to a halt.

Witnessing this spectacle, the throngs of people still attempting to flee Mitian City, along with the members of the Battle Division, gradually slowed their hurried steps.

Then, they came to a complete stop.

Once halted, a wave of jubilant cheers erupted.

"The Battle Division triumphs!"

"The Battle Division triumphs!"

The resounding cheers grew in intensity, finally drawing smiles to the faces of the Battle Division's members.

The dozen or so powerful Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts within the Battle Division also displayed evident relief, letting out a collective sigh.

The formidable threat had finally been neutralized.

The esteemed authority of the Battle Division was, at last, secured.

The arrival of the five War Gods had swiftly and decisively subdued the Sword Demon, even shattering the ultimate killing move he habitually relied upon.

The outcome of this conflict was now indisputable!

The Sword Demon was destined to perish!

High above, Kui Qing's gaze remained fixed on the location where the Sword Demon had fallen. He spoke with solemnity, "Sword Demon, while I cannot fathom the source of your sudden surge in power over such a brief period, you are still no match for the combined might of us five. If you dare to trespass upon the territory of Cover Heaven Tower, be prepared to meet your demise!"

"Esteemed Brother Kui, dispatching him so easily would be too merciful. Consider the state of Mitian City, and observe our fallen comrades... even a thousand deaths for him would scarcely assuage the burning hatred in my heart," declared War God Wan Zhi, his voice laced with anger.

The other three voiced their concurrence.

"In this engagement, we sustained the loss of fourteen Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts. To grant him a swift death would indeed be too lenient."

"With Mitian City largely obliterated and countless lives lost, coupled with the severe blow of losing fourteen Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted members of our Battle Division, I propose we take him back to the Battle Division. We shall confine him beneath the Deep Abyss Pool and subject him to torment for millennia."

"A thousand years of torment is insufficient; it falls far short! He must suffer until his very last breath, or my men will have perished in vain! Under my command, I only had five Half-Step Celestial Void cultivators, and today, every one of them has fallen!"

The three men glared furiously towards the spot where the Sword Demon had crashed, their words echoing with righteous anger.

Hearing their sentiments, Kui Qing's brow furrowed. The thought of his own fallen comrades stirred a pang of grief in his heart. He immediately abandoned the notion of a swift execution and declared, "Then it is decided. Executing him so promptly would indeed be too lenient!"

Amidst the swirling dust and debris.

Bang ——

The rubble erupted outwards.

The Sword Demon launched himself upwards, shaking off the dust before standing poised atop the mound of shattered stones.

He reached for his broken Angel's Left Wing, his eyes reddened, and he lifted his gaze towards the heavens.

A renewed resolve to fight surged within him!

But at that precise moment, the Sword Demon suddenly faltered.

Then, he spoke to himself, a hint of a question in his tone.

"Sect Leader, might I implore you not to reveal yourself too soon? Allow me to engage them just a little longer."

Wen Ping's voice then resonated, "Attend to your own matters later. For now, settle this confrontation. This Sect Leader will not permit any invader to remain alive for a single extra moment."
