When [Sect Devastation] became clear again, Lu Yuan did not turn his gaze outward with the crowd already beginning to retreat.
Sixth Soul Skill: Spear Domain had not fully dispersed. Within the perception covering the battlefield, most of the Soul Power was moving toward the outskirts of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Only around Sword Douluo did several forces remain stubbornly close.
He looked across the battlefield. Spirit Hall was indeed retreating.
The Tiandou Garrison's horns had already sounded outside, and Bone Douluo was steadily tightening his grip on several main escape routes. Dragging things out would only leave more people trapped inside the sect. The Soul Douluos had begun withdrawing with their remaining forces, the group that had attacked the depths of the sect was pulling back, and the Titled Douluos tasked with restraining Sword Douluo were also retreating as they fought.
But one of them was retreating too slowly.
Most of his dark-gold armor had already shattered. The Seven Kill Sword had nearly pierced his left shoulder, and a wound stretched across his chest from his collarbone to beneath his ribs. He could no longer maintain his Martial Soul Avatar. With every step, disordered Soul Power spilled from his wounds.
Sword Douluo clearly had no intention of letting him leave.
The Seven Kill Sword descended again. The gravely wounded Titled Douluo barely avoided a fatal blow, but the sword light still sheared a large chunk of flesh from his shoulder. He staggered back more than ten paces, and the defenses over his chest fell apart completely.
One more strike would leave this Titled Douluo unable to remain on the battlefield, even if he survived.
Yet at that moment, the Gray Trajectory in Lu Yuan's eyes rapidly tightened inward.
