224: Evenly matched

Elder Zhao Da and his group also stared intently at the several Great Emperors from Blood Slaughter Hall.

Regardless of their reasons for wanting to destroy the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, they could not allow them to succeed.

After all, Night Owl and the others were still inside the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, and if they were harmed, Elder Zhao Da and his group would be unable to escape blame even if they died ten thousand times over.

"Hmph, go ask the King of Hell yourselves!"

"Kill!"

Tu Wu, ranked higher among Blood Slaughter Hall's members, snorted coldly and immediately signaled the other four to attack Elder Zhao Da and his group.

The people of Blood Slaughter Hall never wasted words; once a target was confirmed, they would resolve it quickly.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, please go down and protect our sect's Direct Disciples and inner disciples. Do not let the aftershocks reach the ground and harm them."

Seeing that the five from Blood Slaughter Hall attacked without any superfluous words.

Elder Zhao Da quickly instructed Elder Yu, who was a First Level Great Emperor.

After all, Elder Yu was only a First Level Great Emperor and could not play a significant role in a battlefield full of Peak Great Emperors.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, rest assured, I will protect them well."

Elder Yu agreed, immediately descended to the ground, and used his power to protect the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce headquarters, preventing the power of the combatants from harming Night Owl and the others inside.

Then he activated Tianbao City's city-protecting formation as a double safeguard.

"Hehehe!"

"You're about to die yourselves, yet you still want to protect others. How wishful thinking."

The five Peak Great Emperors from Blood Slaughter Hall exuded powerful blood energy and charged at Elder Zhao Da and his group with sinister smiles.

"Hmph, it's not certain who will die yet."

Elder Zhao Da sneered and immediately took out his dragon flame staff to engage in battle with one of them.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The ten individuals clashed thousands of times in an instant above Tianbao City.

Space cracked, the earth shattered, and the immense power turned the space within tens of thousands of miles into a void black hole.

"Bang bang bang!"

After clashing for a while longer, Elder Zhao Da and his group all retreated together.

They looked at the five Blood Slaughter Hall Great Emperors opposite them, who were fighting them to a draw, with some surprise.

One must know that in their sect, they had all absorbed several Immortal Crystals, making them much stronger than Great Emperors who hadn't absorbed Immortal Crystals.

Now, these individuals could fight them five to a draw, which clearly meant they had also absorbed Immortal Crystals.

Elder Zhao Da and his group were somewhat surprised.

The five from Blood Slaughter Hall were also a bit bewildered.

The Xuantian Holy Land Great Emperor Ancestor had told them that Elder Zhao Da and his group had not absorbed Immortal Crystals, but now that the five of them possessed such combat power, they must have absorbed no less than them.

"Damn those guys, how dare they lie to us!"

The expressions on the faces of the five from Blood Slaughter Hall turned ugly.

Now that Elder Zhao Da and his group were evenly matched with them, they couldn't do anything to them.

They could only retreat first, otherwise, if they fought here for too long and were discovered by powerhouses from other continents in the starry sky, they would be dead ends.

"Brothers, this is a tough nut to crack, let's retreat!"

Tu Wu shouted, signaling the other four to leave the Canglan Continent.

This was how Blood Slaughter Hall operated; if they found they couldn't take down a target, they could withdraw on their own.

"Heh, is this a place where you can come and go as you please?"

Elder Zhao Da sneered and shouted at his three brothers and Danyangzi.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Elder Danyangzi!"

"Let's block them. I've already contacted the Great Elder and asked him to send reinforcements quickly. Once the reinforcements arrive, we can capture them all in one go."

With that, Elder Zhao Da took the lead and immediately charged towards the five Blood Slaughter Hall members who were preparing to retreat.

"Yes, Big Brother!"

"Alright, Elder Zhao!"

Zhao Er and the other two, along with Danyangzi, agreed and immediately followed, intercepting the five Blood Slaughter Hall members who wanted to retreat.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"Get out of our way!"

Facing the obstruction from Elder Zhao Da and his group, the five from Blood Slaughter Hall became furious and desperately tried to break through.

After all, if they couldn't end the battle quickly, every second they stayed here meant one more minute of danger.

"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry to leave. You haven't sent us to meet the King of Hell yet, so you can't just go."

"Exactly, if you don't fulfill our wish, then don't even think about leaving Tianbao City today."

Seeing the anxious expressions of the five from Blood Slaughter Hall, Elder Zhao Da and his brothers fought while playfully taunting them.

Now, if they could just stall them like this until Li Big Saber arrived with reinforcements, they would have won.

Looking at the scene above Tianbao City.

The Xuantian Holy Land Great Emperor Ancestor, hiding tens of thousands of miles away, along with the Great Emperors of the Four Great Imperial Clans, all had shocked expressions.

At this moment, several Imperial Clan Great Emperors came back to their senses and looked at the Xuantian Holy Land Great Emperor Ancestor with angry faces.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, what exactly is going on? Didn't you say that the Blood Slaughter Hall people you invited had absorbed Immortal Crystals and could easily crush them? Why are they fighting to a standstill now?"

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Ling, your Blood Slaughter Hall people are completely unreliable. Now that this situation has arisen, what are we supposed to do?"

The Great Emperors of the Four Great Imperial Clans had anger flashing in their eyes.

They had given two-tenths of the compensation to the Xuantian Holy Land Great Emperor Ancestor to hire the Blood Slaughter Hall people.

Now that things weren't going well, they had no remaining resources to gather so many items to compensate Elder Zhao Da and the others.

If they couldn't pay the compensation after today, then all their clans would be annihilated. The Xuantian Holy Land Great Emperor Ancestor was truly setting them up for death.
