Meanwhile, Yamazaki Hikariho, who had been sent flying by Zhao Xuanqi, immediately turned and fled without a word. The remaining Neon masters who had formed the encirclement followed close behind.
This battle hinged on the Harmony masters. Once they were defeated, the others were powerless to turn the tide. Only in a scenario of mutual destruction would they have been qualified to intervene.
All at once, the enemy retreated like a receding tide, and silence returned to the jungle.
Absolute silence.
The members of the Phoenix Army were utterly quiet, barely able to process what had just happened.
'Three masters on the level of the Sixteen Generals... repelled just like that?!'
'The terrible crisis that nearly wiped us all out... averted, just like that.'
'And it was all because Zhao Xuanqi showed up.'
All eyes fell upon that figure. Under the moonlight, he seemed impossibly tall, like an insurmountable mountain.
