Chapter 4522

Behind Wuji Taoist, bursts of sword power erupted, chasing him relentlessly.
The energy exploded like fireworks, scattering countless blades across the sky.
Sword energy rained down like a storm, obscuring everything.
The figures of the Tenth Prince and Wuji Taoist disappeared into the chaos.

No one could see who held the upper hand—neither Xiao Yuanshan nor Zuo Tianzheng could guess the outcome.
Tension gripped the onlookers as faint flashes of white light streaked through the sky. The battle was too intense to follow.

For what felt like an eternity—but was only a dozen breaths—silence fell. Then, both combatants reappeared, their faces calm and unreadable.

The crowd held their breath. No one dared ask who had won.

The silence was broken suddenly.
Pfft! The Tenth Prince coughed up a mouthful of blood.
“Old fool, mark my words—I’ll have my revenge!” he spat.

Before anyone could react, the Tenth Prince vanished into a shadow, retreating into the distance.

Shock rippled through the battlefield.
Zuo Tianzheng and the Demon Sealing Alliance stared in disbelief. The mighty Tenth Prince, who had scorned retreat, had fled, leaving his allies behind.

“Isn’t running worse than retreating?” someone muttered.

Zuo Tianzheng gritted his teeth, trying to mask his frustration. Just moments ago, the Tenth Prince had vowed to stand firm. Now, he had abandoned his comrades, leaving them to face certain doom.

“What do we do now, Leader?” one of the cultivators asked anxiously.

Zuo Tianzheng cleared his throat, forcing a steady tone. “Hold your ground. Don’t panic…”

Before he could finish, his figure blurred, turning into a shadow as he bolted from the battlefield.

The rest of the Demon Sealing Alliance didn’t wait. Panic spread like wildfire, and one by one, they fled in all directions.

After all, staying behind meant only one thing—death.
