Advancing another seventy miles, the Heavenly Horses were once again attacked. However, this time, among their ranks were high-level Dark Guards coming to the rescue. Both sides fought fiercely like dragons and tigers were clashing. They were all severely wounded, but at their level of cultivation, unless they were fighting for their lives, it was unlikely for any of them to lose their lives over something trivial.
Particularly the group of Heavenly Horses, these seventeen men moved as one, sharing the damage. Even though their injuries were shared amongst the group, leaving each of them to deal with their fair portion, they managed to survive without losing any comrades.
In contrast, the newcomers this time, although stronger than the Heavenly Horses, lacked the method of sharing and spreading out damage. Furthermore, due to the sudden intervention of the Dark Guards, they were caught off guard. Though they did not lose much, they still suffered a small loss.
