More than a dozen Half-step Void Gods understood that this was a matter of life and death.
So, even though the pain in their divine souls was extremely intense, they still forcibly maintained a last sliver of clarity and each invoked their Holy Artifacts to launch attacks.
Jing Yan at this moment also had to resist the terrifying erosion of the deathly aura. Although his divine soul was very strong, Mr. Zhong's realm was obviously extremely high, and his mastery of the Laws was incredibly profound. If the use of Laws by the Half-step Void Gods was like children wielding large knives, then Mr. Zhong was definitely a robust adult.
So even for Jing Yan, resisting the erosion of the death aura was extremely strenuous, and he felt his divine soul already being corroded.
If he didn't kill Mr. Zhong, the ending would be just as Chen Long said—everyone would die at Mr. Zhong's hands.
