The reason why he said that was not without reason.
The main reason was that the shockwave of that battle was really too powerful.
It had already forced the few Celestial Sovereigns to retreat.
Moreover, the reason why Ye Xiao was able to successfully kill their companion previously was mainly because of the results obtained from the sneak attack.
He was essentially the same as them and was also a cultivator at the Celestial Sovereign realm. He was not the legendary Supreme Sovereign.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, it was impossible for him to easily withstand that move.
He should have been more or less injured by then.
Although he did not know whether it was heavy or light, as long as he was injured, it would be easy to deal with.
That was because the few of them could continue to gang up on him in the future.
