Chapter 2183: Where to Retreat?

Although the Virtue Angel had tried to avoid the attack, he couldn’t completely dodge it.

The robe on his body was torn, and a very deep cut was made on his body.

The Virtue Angel’s expression turned somber, growing more vigilant in his heart.

Just now, he clearly saw that Bai Ting and Ye You hadn’t made a move.

So, there were indeed others around.

Thinking of this, the Virtue Angel glanced around and asked calmly, "Who?"

"Ah!"

Answering the Virtue Angel was a cry of agony.

Upon hearing the scream, the Virtue Angel sharply turned his head towards the source, only to see a person standing in front of the Pseudo-Eighth Order Ancient Martial Artist, a girl wearing a white and green combat outfit.

The girl held a sword in her hand, its blade thrust into the heart of the Pseudo-Eighth Order.

The Pseudo-Eighth Order stared wide-eyed at the person standing before him.

Gu Zhiqi tightened her grip on the sword, then pulled the blade out from the Pseudo-Eighth Order’s heart.

As the sword was drawn out, blood began to gush forth.

The Pseudo-Eighth Order Ancient Martial Artist briefly paused in mid-air and then fell backward, quickly plummeting down.

Seeing the Pseudo-Eighth Order fall, Gu Zhiqi slowly turned around to face the Virtue Angel, "It’s your turn."

The Virtue Angel’s expression grew intense, and upon realizing he couldn’t decipher Gu Zhiqi’s cultivation level, his look became even more serious.

Being unable to discern her cultivation level meant her level was higher than his.

No matter the combat power of the girl before him, there were two Eighth Order Ancient Martial Artists nearby, so he had no chance of winning.

Thinking of this, the Virtue Angel quickly glanced around.

Surprisingly, there were far fewer of their people.

Furthermore, even the situation on the Throne Angel’s side didn’t look optimistic.

Without much thought, the Virtue Angel turned around to flee.

However, he didn’t flee the battlefield, but rather ran towards the Throne Angel.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi took her sword and chased after him, with Bai Ting and Ye You following suit.

Initially, there wasn’t much distance between the Throne Angel and the Virtue Angel, so the Virtue Angel quickly reached the Throne Angel’s side.

"Sir, the situation is dire, we should retreat."

The Throne Angel heard the Virtue Angel’s words but did not respond.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to respond; he simply had no time, being surrounded by two Ninth-order ancient martial artists and one Eighth Order Ancient Martial Artist, holding on was already quite challenging.

Seeing the Throne Angel ignoring him, the Virtue Angel spoke again, "Sir, let’s retreat."

Once again, the Virtue Angel received no reply from the Throne Angel, and instead a voice sounded beside him, "Retreat? Where to? Back to the Undersea City of Nine Stars City?"

The Virtue Angel turned his head and found Gu Zhiqi had caught up.

The sword in her hand was about to pierce him.

Seeing this, the Virtue Angel felt a tight squeeze in his heart and immediately raised a defense shield to block the sword blade.

"Boom!"

Their vital energy collided, releasing a loud sound.

At this moment, the gap between Eighth Order and Ninth Order became apparent.

Though the Virtue Angel exerted his utmost effort to resist, when the sword made contact with the defense shield, the Virtue Angel was still pushed back.

Moreover, he slid back very fast.

From a distance, it might easily be mistaken for a meteor.

But it wasn’t a meteor, it was the silhouetted retreat of the Virtue Angel.

By the time the Virtue Angel finally came to a stop, he was far from his original position.

"Pugh!"

The Virtue Angel spat out a mouthful of blood.

He managed to block it, but couldn’t completely deflect it; the Virtue Angel was still injured, and as soon as he paused, he began to spew blood violently.
