Once their identities were confirmed, there was no need for either side to say more.
The next moment, both sides moved at once.
He Xu swiftly threw a punch, flinging out steel needles transformed from his body hair. They carried sharp bursts of force, enough to pierce through a one-centimeter-thick steel plate.
Lotus Heart Hermit formed Hand Seals with both hands, channeling Internal Energy and summoning a shield engraved with a white lotus before him.
The shield was exceptionally tough, effortlessly blocking the hairs He Xu had launched.
Seeing this, Jia Gui silently retreated behind the others, his rat-like eyes darting around.
He appeared to be guarding against someone suddenly leaping out to ambush them, but he was actually searching for an escape route.
Han Wu paid no attention to what Jia Gui did.
He was determined to get some clues from Lotus Heart Hermit.
He and Qin Shuang launched a fierce attack, striking at Lotus Heart Hermit from opposite sides.
Golden Silver Twin Axes appeared in Han Wu's hands. He swung them in a cross, releasing one golden and one silver burst of force that crashed into Lotus Heart Hermit's white lotus shield.
They did not cause the slightest damage.
Qin Shuang gathered lightning arts in her hand, forming a palm thunder that slammed into the white lotus shield.
This strike was immensely powerful, cracking the white lotus shield all over.
Yet in the blink of an eye, the white lotus shield was whole again.
Lotus Heart Hermit released his True Qi, creating an explosive blast that sent Han Wu and Qin Shuang flying.
After that brief exchange with the four of them, Lotus Heart Hermit had more or less grasped Han Wu's group's strength.
Compared with a First-rate Master like him, the gap was truly rather vast.
