A Starving Camel Is Still Bigger Than a Horse
"Boom!"
A deafening collision resounded as Zhang Xuandao's vast and powerful Taiji Diagram clashed head-on with Shadow Demon's terrifying Shadow Kill Divine Spear, unleashing a shocking force that surged outwards like turbulent waves.
They slammed the ground into chaos once again, creating a huge crater. The entire training ground was shaken down by their attack, sinking five zhang deep and leveling it completely, forming a dangerous area. Their power was terrifying!
At this moment, thick dust and smoke appeared on the entire land, and the surrounding area was filled with lingering void ripples, which was extremely dangerous. A gust of wind blew by, and four figures slowly appeared.
Li Changfeng and Zhang Xuandao were kneeling on the ground, their clothes tattered, their sword-wielding arms trembling violently, blood flowing down their bodies, and their faces contorted in horror as they stared at the two demons in the sky!
They were in no better shape; their bodies were covered in bloody cracks, their faces were bloodless, and blood was flowing out of their bodies. Their bodies seemed to be about to disintegrate, but they were being held back by the others!
"These two brats actually fought us to this extent! The power we absorbed in this demonic array has been completely exhausted, and some of our source power has also been depleted. Damn it!"
"It's too late to say anything now. We don't even have the strength to kill them. We're so weak that any second-rate expert could easily kill us. Let's leave before they find out!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two men gave Li Changfeng and Zhang Xuandao a deep look, then flew away into the distance with resentment on their faces, disappearing without a trace...
Li Changfeng and Zhang Xuandao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. They had been extremely shocked just now. They were severely injured and powerless to fight back. If the attackers had taken the opportunity to attack, they would have been the ones to die. They could only secretly rejoice that they hadn't made a move!
"Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse! We underestimated the two of them!"
At this moment, the five people who had been cornered slowly approached them. Their injuries had been suppressed, and they looked at the two of them with worried expressions. "Brother Li! Brother Zhang! Are you... alright?"
Upon hearing this, the two slowly shook their heads. "We're fine! We won't die!"
Ouyang Duha suddenly realized the two demons were gone, and his pupils constricted sharply. "You... killed those two demons!!!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng shook his head. "No! We ended up with both of us severely injured! Then they escaped!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. They had personally experienced the strength of those two demons, and they were extremely powerful. It was quite remarkable that the five of them could protect themselves in their hands. What they did not expect was that they would end up fighting the two demons to a standstill!
"What! You two actually fought those two demons to a standstill! Have you become that strong?!"
Zhang Xuandao gave a wry smile upon hearing this, "It was only during that healing process that our strength improved by leaps and bounds, which allowed us to fight them to this extent. In fact, we were slightly outmatched in the final clash, but their bodies were already on the verge of collapse, which is why they fled!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. "I see! We really envy you for having such an opportunity!"
"No need to be envious!!"
Suddenly, a bright white light flashed in the sky, and an old man in white robes appeared. He held two half-crippled corpses in one hand and a crystal ball in the other, inside which were two remnant souls, one gray and one black, desperately banging against the crystal ball.
A faint voice could be heard emanating from the crystal ball, shouting, "Damn it! Let us out! You wretched Lake Spirit!!"
Upon seeing this, everyone's pupils contracted, and they immediately realized that the two half-crippled corpses and the contents of the crystal ball were the two demons. Six of them also recognized this person as the white-robed old man they had encountered during their training. Only Li Wuyai's talent was insufficient to allow the white-robed old man to come out.
"Senior, it's you! You actually came too!"
The old man in white smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Actually, I arrived a long time ago! I've been secretly watching your battle!"
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. "What! Senior... how could you leave us to our fate! These two demons are too powerful! We were almost wiped out!"
The old man in white smiled faintly upon hearing this, "With me here, what is there to be afraid of! This also allows me to see just how strong your potential is, especially Li Changfeng and Zhang Xuandao. I am very satisfied with your performance! The other five are also quite good!"
Then, the white-robed elder's gaze slowly fell on Li Wuyai, his expression complex. "Has the Free and Unfettered Sect really declined to this point? Not even a top genius has appeared. I'm truly disappointed!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wuyai's face filled with respect, and he immediately kowtowed, saying, "Greetings, Grandmaster of the Free and Unfettered Sect! I have disappointed you!"
The old man in white shook his head upon hearing this, "I am not your grandmaster! I am merely a gatekeeper entrusted by the grandmasters of all generations!"
Li Wuyai looked disappointed upon hearing this. He had thought it was a remnant soul left behind by some grandmaster. "In any case, senior has been guarding this place for so long, you can be considered a grandmaster of our Free and Unfettered Sect. It's not an exaggeration for me to call you that. I wonder what your plans are, grandmaster? Will you come back to the Free and Unfettered Sect with me?"
The old man in white shook his head upon hearing this. "I won't go back to the Free and Unfettered Sect. My duty is to protect this place! Don't think too much about it!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wuyai looked disappointed and cupped his hands, saying, "Since that's the case, this disciple won't force you!"
At this moment, the white-robed elder's face was solemn as he slowly pondered something. "These two demons are not weak, but their true forms have been suppressed, and only a wisp of their original souls has emerged, preventing them from unleashing their full power! Could it be that a great calamity is about to befall us?"
The white-robed elder looked at them with a solemn expression and said resolutely, "A great calamity is likely to be coming! You should go back and tell your sects to come here for training in preparation for the great battle to come!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wuyai was immediately shocked. "A great calamity? What great calamity? Should we make this public?"
The other six people looked solemn upon hearing this, as they all knew more or less about this great calamity.
The old man in white nodded upon hearing this. "Young man! Your Li Wuyai, right? I'll leave this matter to your Free and Unfettered Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wuyai's eyes gleamed, and he knelt on one knee, cupping his hands in obeisance, saying, "Disciple obeys!"
The old man in white looked intently at the six of them. "It seems you all have some understanding of this great calamity, so I won't say more. Everyone is equal before this calamity. Past grievances are wiped clean. I hope you will grow well and be prepared to face this earth-shattering calamity in the future!"
The six people solemnly replied, "We will follow the teachings of our predecessors!"
