Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

Chapter 1055: Retreat Quickly


The flames outside remained fiercely strong, attracting an ever-growing crowd. This wasn't necessarily good for the Alliance; a single mishandled detail could easily trigger another conflict. Though opposing forces were enemies, they weren't at the stage of fighting upon sight. Especially since some factions still feared the Alliance's later retaliation. This was no small issue; mishandle it, and an entire group could be wiped out. The Alliance dared not provoke public anger at this moment. Even though they could outright conquer many nations and factions, all they hoped for now was that the spectators wouldn't turn on them.

The ten Superpower Users that ambushed the Alliance initially banded together to advance and retreat as one. But when the Alliance rolled out heavy weaponry, they scattered, charging towards the Alliance members individually. These guys were astute, giving the Alliance no chance whatsoever, and each moved with deadly speed. Trying to encircle and annihilate these ten was nearly impossible for the Alliance.

In the enemy's core base, spreading out like this would typically be a foolish way to weaken one's attack power. However, these ten were exceptionally skilled, and at first, the Alliance's Superpower Users dared not all come down to encircle them, granting them a golden opportunity. Once dispersed, each person rushed into the crowd. Some clever individuals even seized weapons from the Alliance soldiers and wildly fired at those encircling them, knowing the weapons posed a threat to Power Users.

It really felt like a wolf entering a sheep's pen, throwing the Alliance troops into chaos. Despite their power, the elite members who had pursued Yi Tian brought about little change.

Yi Tian cared nothing for the battle's progress; he cautiously observed the shifting surroundings, swiftly moving toward the perimeter. Though the camp was small, navigating it became difficult amidst the chaos. As he went, Yi Tian narrowly avoided detection several times, cleverly concealing himself. However, upon reaching the central area, he encountered some minor trouble, forcing him to stop and hide to avoid exposure.

The battle group hadn't expanded, but wounded soldiers withdrew, gathering around to watch, weapons in hand, ready to charge back in at any moment. Yi Tian paid them no mind, but he had to be cautious of the watchful, vigilant Superpower Users around. A single slip could get him instantly killed. Not only from the Alliance members; even the onlookers might seize the chance to use him as an excuse to act.

Seeing the considerable number of Superpower Users, Yi Tian felt a nervous prickling in his scalp. It was far from a pleasant feeling. He laid hidden in the shadows, concealing himself while intermittently glancing around. The sensation of being watched from behind hadn't faded; someone had followed, yet for some inexplicable reason, hadn't made a move.

A thousand thoughts raced through Yi Tian's mind, none of them useful. He could either wait or retreat, but after making it this far, backing down seemed pointless.

The child shadowing Yi Tian kept watching him, puzzled as to why Yi Tian had suddenly halted. Was he truly planning to assault the camp? They'd gone far enough; Yi Tian had the capability to attack, and if he set fire and ran, no one could catch him. What was he really up to? While probing Yi Tian's intent, the child surveyed the camp and noticed the gradually hiding, eager spectators.

If the Alliance couldn't end this camp assault promptly, these people might soon take action.

Xiao Ruo and Long Feiyun, who had previously caused a ruckus with Bai Xinyu in the camp, also appeared near the Alliance Camp at great speed. They watched the struggle with cold eyes, their hands twitching restlessly. If not for their conspicuous identities, they might have attacked already. Almost all factions around the edges had gathered here; only the outermost people were absent.

Those on the periphery were here for refuge and wouldn't involve themselves in this trouble.

The camp attackers were smart, gradually expanding the battleground and dispersing the Alliance forces. They also began trying to provoke the spectators into action, knowing that once the outsiders joined and muddied the waters, the Alliance would face significant consequences.

The Alliance wasn't foolish; they realized the attackers' intentions. Seeing the battlefront widen, they knew these people planned something aggravating. Oliver, coordinating reinforcements from the periphery, shouted fiercely and began deploying forces against the attackers.

"Prepare the beams," Oliver's voice resonated in the darkness.

This prompted a response to Oliver's order, targeting those advancing towards the outer defenses. Fine beams of light began to appear with a subtle hum. Even just the energy fluctuation felt when the cannons charged was terrifying; if a beam truly hit, the consequences would be dire. Those wishing to cause trouble quickly withdrew, not wanting to be caught up and understanding the Alliance's warning.

Evidently, these people hadn't risked their lives yet, so they naturally retreated.

Outsiders could withdraw, but Yi Tian, trapped within the camp, couldn't retreat. With no way back, he could only watch the charging barrels with growing frustration. He wasn't afraid of these beams; he'd survived far more powerful ones. What concerned him was exposure, possibly endangering Yi Yun. Yet, the current situation was out of his hands.

Damn, cursing inwardly, Yi Tian would only retreat to the side, loathe to let anyone approach or drag him into the fray. As the cannon preparations commenced, the Alliance members swiftly withdrew.

Seeing this from above, the child grew tense; he couldn't let Yi Tian get caught or everything would spiral into chaos. However, with everyone's focus on the camp, he couldn't reveal himself to assist Yi Tian. As various thoughts crossed the child's mind, a sudden intense light exploded within the camp.

This light completely overshadowed the flames, matched with a menacing surge of energy, carrying a destructive aura. The brisk wind arose, causing the surrounding landscape to sway and flutter. Wherever the beam passed, nothing remained. People were swept up, wounded, rising into the brilliance.
