Kuang Ziyou, Wu Daoxin, Han Shiqi, Luo Yuanliang, and Lu Xiaotian stood facing one another.
With the many Daluo Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals already locked in battle, the five alchemy saints now found themselves increasingly at odds as well.
Aside from Kuang Ziyou, who knew Lu Xiaotian extremely well, Wu Daoxin, Han Shiqi, and Luo Yuanliang had all seen their strength surge under the influence of the alchemical aura.
As their strength increased, the three alchemy saints' confidence naturally soared. They felt stronger than they ever had before.
This was especially true of Han Shiqi, who came from the Southern Dan Heavenly Court. He had already reached the Golden Immortal realm, but his foundation was relatively weak. When he sparred with other Golden Immortals of the same rank, he usually ended up at a slight disadvantage.
Now that he had the cultivation of a Golden Immortal to build on, the alchemical aura had bolstered his strength more than it had the others'.
With both his strength and confidence swelling, he naturally developed the urge to challenge Lu Xiaotian.
Han Shiqi's wide sleeves billowed, and thunder instantly ran wild through the void, transforming into a dozen or so enormous lightning swords that slashed toward Lu Xiaotian.
"Fellow Daoist Han, this man, Dongfang, is exceptionally powerful. We haven't entered the Ascending Pill Altar yet, so it's best not to fight him for now," Kuang Ziyou advised when he saw what was happening.
"No matter. The four of us have all grown stronger by leaps and bounds, while he's only one man. Even if he's also improved, how can the alchemical aura he's accumulated alone compare with what the four of us have? If we can kill him as soon as possible, we won't have to wait until later." Han Shiqi laughed
