The horrifying sight made the remaining half-step Peak Master Rank lose his wits.
He scrambled toward Chiler and the others in sheer panic.
Chiler, Tuth, and Insber — the three Peak Master Rank powerhouses — were equally shocked.
"If that arrow had landed on one of us, even if we survived, we'd be gravely wounded!"Tuth's voice was dry, and Insber instinctively tightened his grip on his Elder Sword.
"Don't even think about running!"
Tuth barked sharply at Insber, genuinely afraid that the old man would falter at the critical moment.
"Focus our strength and suppress their offense! Stall them!"
"The other Elders of Morningstar Order must have sensed this disturbance — reinforcements will arrive soon!"
At this point, there were only two ways to break the stalemate:either Skypeak Tower's people arrived, or the other Peak Masters of the Morningstar Order came to their aid.
