Although Chi Xue and the others had made a major improvement in strength after resolving the problem of their cultivation stagnating after merging with an Ancient Divine Beast, Ling Tian and his companions had not been idle all these years. By now, twenty or thirty of them had broken through to the sixth rank of the Quasi-Sage Realm. Most had also killed Heavenly Slaves, meaning they could display their true strength without restraint. In this respect, they had a considerable advantage over Chi Xue's side.
Moreover, cultivators who practiced the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique and reversed their golden cores six times were virtually invincible among those of the same rank. That was why Ling Tian's people could kill peak sixth-rank Quasi-Sage Heavenly Slaves while only at the middle stage of the sixth rank. In other words, although their cultivation realms were somewhat lower than those of Chi Xue's people, their strength was no inferior.
Of course, most importantly, Ling Tian and his companions did not need to fight Chi Xue's group head-on. They only had to stop them from capturing an Ancient Divine Beast, which was not too difficult for them.
Indeed, Ling Tian's side had twenty or thirty exceptionally powerful experts. Their skill in archery far surpassed Chi Xue's group's. By keeping their distance and forming an Arrow Formation, they could easily hold Chi Xue's group at bay, giving the Ancient Divine Beast a chance to escape. In other words, it would be very difficult for Chi Xue's group to capture one.
