Zhang Yu's Dao technique strike destroyed Zhi Daoren's external body. From the way the man had responded just now, he had more or less grasped his methods.
Although an external body still differed somewhat from the true body, the fundamental Dao technique would not change. The only additional aid Zhi Daoren could draw upon would be array artifacts or treasures that suppressed the Dao.
He could handle array artifacts himself. As for treasures that suppressed the Dao, the Profound Court was watching over matters from behind; if the opponent used one, it would deal with it. He had no need to worry about that.
Thus, he had no need to remain here any longer. Heartlight Seal flared around him, instantly spreading open a domain as he fled from this world.
Zhi Daoren stood within the shuttle-boat, his face revealing astonishment. In that brief exchange just now, his external body had been annihilated. The process had been far too swift for him to understand what had happened.
Yet in his senses, it seemed that not only had his fundamental Dao technique failed to suppress the opponent, it had instead been restrained by him.
This put him on guard.
Fight if you could win; leave if you could not. That was his creed in battle. But first, he had no route of retreat today; second, he had not come here alone, so defeat was not inevitable.
To contain his opponent, and also to learn what lay on the other side, he swept his sleeve and dispatched another external body. At the same time, he said to the three parasitic void cultivators beside him, "I must trouble you three fellow Daoists as well."
The true bodies of those three cultivators had not come; only their external bodies were here to heed his command.
