Chapter 2855: Chapter 2855: Never Pursue a Cornered Enemy

The fall of many fellow disciples forced the tens of thousands of elite disciples from the Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion to focus all their efforts on fending off the attacks from the Divine Beasts, leaving them with no intention of further destroying the defensive formations around the Nourishing Essence Hall.

Seeing this scene, the disciples of the Nourishing Essence Sect hiding within the defensive formations couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although only less than two thousand of the more than ten thousand Nourishing Essence Sect disciples remained, these two thousand were the elite of the elite, among them, high-ranking members with the Cultivation Level of the Divine King Realm were not lacking.

Now that the Nourishing Essence Alchemist and the Great Might Divine King had returned, these two thousand elite disciples of the Nourishing Essence Sect had a pillar of support once more, their chests filled again with battle spirit and fighting intent.

Fang Bai sensed the restless emotions of the disciples of the Nourishing Essence Sect and said in a loud voice, "Hiding within the defensive formation cannot drive the enemy away, now with the help of the Divine Beasts, it is time to counterattack!"

At this moment, nearly ten thousand disciples from the Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion were being charged at by hundreds of enormous, destructive avian Divine Beasts, and their losses were gradually increasing, inevitably causing their minds to become unsettled.

If they seize this opportunity and launch a fierce counterattack, it’s possible they could turn the tide and achieve victory despite being fewer in number.

As soon as Fang Bai finished speaking, he took the initiative to remove the defensive formation and, along with nearly two thousand disciples of the Nourishing Essence Sect, each wielding a Divine Artifact, charged out to attack.

Although they were few in number, their momentum visibly overshadowed the nearly ten thousand disciples from the Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion.

Fang Bai and Rongrong teamed up, using the Beast Taming Scripture to drive several Divine Beasts of the Divine King Realm, specifically selecting the Divine King Realm experts of the enemy to attack.

Their combined strength, along with the assistance of the Divine Artifacts, could already contend with an expert at the initial stage of the Divine King Realm. With the assistance of several Divine Beasts of the Divine King Realm, even against an expert at the middle stage, they could hold a significant advantage.

Thus, every hundred breaths, a Divine King Realm expert from the Bading Sect or the Sect Leader Mansion would fall at the hands of Fang Bai, Rongrong, and the Divine Beasts controlled by Fang Bai.

Originally, the Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion held a numerical advantage, but with wave after wave of Divine Beast reinforcements, this advantage was significantly diminished.

At this moment, with Fang Bai displaying his might, one Divine King Realm expert after another from the Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion fell, and their overall advantage in strength gradually disappeared.

The loss of these two major advantages greatly weakened the fighting spirit and morale of nearly ten thousand experts from the Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion.

The number of Divine Beasts Fang Bai could control simultaneously was limited, but in the midst of the great battle, as Divine Beasts continued to fall, Fang Bai would continue to use the Beast Taming Scripture to emit a call, summoning new Divine Beasts to join.

In this way, wave after wave of Divine Beasts flocked here, forming a constant influx of fresh forces that could maintain their formidable fighting power.

On the other hand, within the Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion, more and more experts fell, shifting from an initial upper hand to a balance, and then to a disadvantage.

This process took only about a thousand breaths.

Finally, after the last Divine King Realm expert on their side fell, nearly ten thousand experts from the Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion lost their morale and began to collapse and flee.

"Kill!"

Nearly two thousand disciples of the Nourishing Essence Sect, unwilling to let go of their advantage, charged with bloodshot eyes, roaring in pursuit.

Before this, they had witnessed thousands of their fellow disciples fall, their hearts filled with grief. Now, with a chance for revenge, how could they easily let the enemy escape?

"Kill!"

Fang Bai also drove a group of Divine Beasts to pursue, while continuously shooting arrows of fire from the Houyi Bow in his hand, taking down the fleeing experts of the Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion.

At this point, aside from two leaders, all the Divine King Realm experts of the Bading Sect and the Sect Leader Mansion had fallen, and none of the remaining Divine Venerable Realm experts could withstand a single arrow from Fang Bai. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Every arrow Fang Bai shot would bloom into a cluster of blood, harvesting a life.

Meanwhile, in the stars, the Bading Alchemist and the Tianlin Divine King, who were battling against the Nourishing Essence Alchemist and the Great Might Divine King, were also being completely suppressed, falling into a disadvantage.

Seeing their disciples scatter, the Bading Alchemist and the Tianlin Divine King knew the situation was lost and couldn’t help but have thoughts of fleeing.

"Let’s go!"

The Tianlin Divine King rallied his divine might, wielding his Divine Artifact to force his opponent, the Great Might Divine King, back a hundred feet, then turned and fled with all his might.

He understood the principle of "preserving the green hills," planning to return to the Sect Leader Mansion, gather the remnants, and plan for the long term.

Although the Sect Leader Mansion had lost many elites in this battle, they still had tens of thousands stationed there.

The Nourishing Essence Sect, despite the great losses suffered in this battle, currently had no spare energy to attack the Sect Leader Mansion.

Therefore, in the future Tianlin Star System, the three major forces of the Sect Leader Mansion, Bading Sect, and Nourishing Essence Sect would still hold a stance of mutual confrontation.

However, the ranking of strength among the three forces might reverse, with the once weakest Nourishing Essence Sect likely rising to the top, and the strongest Sect Leader Mansion falling to second place.

For the Tianlin Divine King at this point, it’s not about being weak temporarily, just as long as they aren’t annihilated, there’s still the possibility of turning things around in the future.

With the Tianlin Divine King fleeing, the Bading Alchemist, unable to fight against multiple opponents, also opted to escape.

Thus, the two top-tier powers of the Tianlin Star System fled like beaten dogs from the skies above the Nourishing Essence Sect.

The bloodthirsty Nourishing Essence Alchemist wanted to pursue but was stopped by the Great Might Divine King.

"Don’t chase a cornered enemy!"

The Great Might Divine King held back the Nourishing Essence Alchemist, saying, "Our task now is to treat the wounded, recuperate, and gather strength. As for the Bading Alchemist and the Tianlin Divine King, let them live a little longer for now!"

Fang Bai added, "Master, although the enemy is defeated, their remaining forces should not be underestimated. We must avenge this, but it requires careful planning!"

With the persuasion of the Great Might Divine King and Fang Bai, the Nourishing Essence Alchemist finally gave up on pursuing, took a deep breath, and gradually dispelled his murderous aura, returning to normal soon after.

"This Divine Artifact of yours is impressive! Without its assistance, defeating that Bading Alchemist would have been unlikely!"

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist looked at the Pangu Axe in his hand, clicked his tongue in praise, then returned it to Fang Bai.

The Pangu Axe was excellent, but as it belonged to his disciple, he, as a master, couldn’t just claim it for himself.

Besides, he intended to pass on his teachings to Fang Bai someday, and the stronger Fang Bai became, the happier he was.

The Great Might Divine King also returned the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade to Fang Bai, sighing, "I’ll have to forge another suitable Divine Artifact for myself later. The one I’m using now is clearly not keeping up with my realm and cultivation level."

However, he also knew that forging a Divine Artifact, like crafting a Divine Elixir, was no easy task. Not only did it require several materials for the artifact, but also finding a reliable Artifact Refiner.

This is also why many experts in the Divine Realm never had a suitable Divine Artifact.

Fang Bai thought that once he advanced to the Divine King Realm, he would craft a Divine Artifact for each of them.

But he wondered how shocked the Nourishing Essence Alchemist would be once he revealed his identity as an Artifact Refiner.
