Terrifying shockwaves swept across the horizon, causing the Blood Demon Continent to crumble inch by inch. It took an entire hour before the shockwaves slowly dissipated. At the same time, Chen Yu and Hao Zong's figures once again appeared before everyone.
The land where the two of them stood no longer existed. The two of them were also heavily injured. Blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, their faces were pale, and their auras were extremely weak.
Clearly, the previous head-on collision had caused the two of them to suffer quite serious injuries. Mo Xie did not hesitate at all when he saw the current condition of the two of them. He immediately shot towards Hao Zong.
Hao Zong was very strong, and the Night Ghost Pavilion definitely could not afford to lose him. In addition to the relationship between the two of them, Mo Xie wanted to rush forward to protect Hao Zong without any hesitation.
However, although Mo Xie was fast, Xiao Chen was even faster. He also shot forward and headed straight for Chen Yu.
The two of them charged towards Hao Zong and Chen Yu one after another. As for the others, they were still in an intense battle.
The distance seemed extremely far, but with Xiao Chen and Mo Xie's speed, the two of them arrived in front of Hao Zong and Chen Yu in the blink of an eye.
Protecting the two of them behind their backs, one could tell that Chen Yu and Hao Zong's situation was extremely bad. They clearly no longer had the strength to fight.
"Senior brother Chen Yu, are you alright?" Xiao Chen worriedly looked at Chen Yu and asked.
Chen Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this. "I won't die for the time being, but I don't have any battle power left."
His life was not in danger, but his battle power had been reduced to less than a tenth. Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as his life was not in danger, he would be fine.
Hao Zong's situation was the same as Chen Yu's. Compared to Xiao Chen, Mo Xie's feelings were a little more complicated.
He originally thought that Hao Zong's strength was enough to crush the Sacred Palace. Who would have thought that both sides would suffer such heavy losses?
Originally, Xiao Chen's strength had already far exceeded Mo Xie's expectations. Now, another Chen Yu had appeared, and his strength was actually on par with Hao Zong. Now that Hao Zong had already lost his ability to fight, and Mo Xie was unable to take down Xiao Chen, this battle had already gone out of Mo Xie's control.
Xiao Chen did not say anything. He merely looked at Mo Xie in an indifferent manner. Mo Xie's expression turned gloomy when he sensed Xiao Chen's gaze. He knew what Xiao Chen was thinking. The disciples from both sects had already suffered heavy casualties since the start of the battle. Adding the injuries of Hao Zong and Chen Yu, it was obvious that they should not continue fighting. At the very least, they should rest for a while.
Gritting his teeth, Mo Xie did not hesitate for long and quickly gave the order to retreat.
Mo Xie chose to temporarily stop the battle. In response, Xiao Chen smiled coldly and did not give the order to pursue. It was already good enough that Mo Xie had retreated in the face of difficulties. The Sacred Palace also needed to rest.
Both parties parted ways and returned to their respective starships. However, in the middle of the camp, where the Blood Demon Continent used to be, there was now a hole. Chen Yu and Hao Zong had directly penetrated the continent.
After retreating and temporarily stopping the battle and returning to the starship, Xiao Chen immediately ordered people to treat Chen Yu's injuries. The others also swallowed healing pills and began to nurse their injuries.
The four of them sat cross-legged in the room with Qin Shuirou and the other two girls. The four of them closed their eyes and adjusted their breathing. The shocking battle ended just like that. In the distance, the spies of the various sects who had been secretly observing the battle were all shocked.
The most shocking thing about this battle was not the Saints from both sides, but the Chosen from both sides.
They had originally thought that the Chosen from the quasi-saint sects were only of the younger generation, but now it seemed that this was a grave mistake. None of the Chosen were simple characters, especially Xiao Chen, Mo Xie, Chen Yu and Hao Zong. All four of them had the strength to kill a Saint expert.
The battle had been temporarily stopped, but neither side retreated. It was obvious that the battle would continue. As such, the spies from the various sects did not leave either. They only used voice transmission talismans to report the situation of the battle back to their respective sects.
It was worth noting that the reports sent back by the spies all said the same thing without exception. "The Sacred Palace and the Night Ghost Pavilion are evenly matched. The Night Ghost Pavilion did not gain the slightest advantage. The Sacred Palace's estimation of strength was seriously wrong."
In the beginning, the various sects did not have high hopes for the Sacred Palace because they felt that the Sacred Palace's foundation was too shallow and that it would be difficult for them to contend against the Night Ghost Pavilion. In addition, this was only a battle between the Sacred Palace and the Night Ghost Pavilion. The other quasi-saint sects did not participate. Therefore, many forces predicted that the Sacred Palace would lose.
However, from the results of the first battle, the Sacred Palace did not have the slightest chance of losing. No matter how one looked at it, the Sacred Palace had the capital to contend with the Night Ghost Pavilion, and the Night Ghost Pavilion could not gain the slightest advantage over the Sacred Palace.
It was because of this that the spies from the various sects said that they had made a mistake in their estimation of the Sacred Palace's strength.
They did not know what the various sects were thinking. At this time, both the Sacred Palace and the Night Ghost Pavilion were doing their best to recover. After this battle, many people from both sides had been injured. Of course, there were also many people who had died. No one knew when the next battle would erupt, so everyone was doing their best to heal their own injuries.
Three days passed in a row. There were no unusual movements from either side, and the Blood Demon Continent was strangely quiet.
After three days, Xiao Chen's injuries had completely healed. At this time, Xiao Chen and a Sacred Palace elder stood on the deck. They looked in the direction of the Night Ghost Pavilion and asked, "How many people did we lose in this battle?"
"Reporting to the Chosen Saint, 2,600 people died, and 800 were seriously injured or disabled," the elder replied truthfully when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
Two thousand six hundred people had fallen in a single battle. Such a loss was truly disastrous.
Two thousand people shouldn't be underestimated. One had to know that the participants of the Sacred Palace this time weren't just any random Tom, Dick, or Harry. Every one of them could be said to be an elite of the Sacred Palace. Even the weakest disciple would at least be a personal disciple in a Sacred Sect.
Every loss of such elites was a huge blow to the Sacred Palace's strength.
The losses were too great. After that, Xiao Chen asked about the Night Ghost Pavilion's casualties. The answer he received was that it was about the same as the Sacred Palace's.
After this battle, both sides were equally matched, and their losses were extremely similar. Xiao Chen sighed softly and said, "Send the seriously injured and disabled people back to the Sacred Palace first. Do everything you can to heal them."
Xiao Chen planned to send the 800 people who were severely injured and disabled and would not be able to fight for a while back to the Holy Palace. After all, they would not be of much use if they stayed there. They might even encounter danger and die in vain.
