Qin Wuyi watched Li Xian regulate his breathing. After a moment's hesitation, he finally withdrew some distance.
But he did not leave altogether. Instead, he roamed the surrounding area, clearing out the Fish Demons one by one so these creatures would not court death by disturbing Li Xian.
Of course, even a dead tiger retained its majesty.
And Li Xian was not dead yet.
Even if ordinary Fish Demons approached him, they probably could not harm him in the slightest.
But besides ordinary Fish Demons, there were also great demons comparable to Dao Foundation cultivators.
If another great demon appeared now, Li Xian might not be able to handle it in his current state.
"In theory, we're rivals. If you died, there would be no one on Zhuzhao Peak worthy of being called my opponent. For the next dozen years or so, I'd sit securely on the throne of first place, enjoying the generous resources granted to the Inner Sect's top disciple..."
Qin Wuyi murmured under his breath.
"But..."
He looked through the mist toward the figure a hundred meters away.
A prodigy of the sect who had slain an opponent in Entering the Dao from a lower realm!
As long as such a prodigy did not die prematurely and continued growing step by step, never mind becoming a core disciple-even becoming a legacy disciple...
Would certainly not be his ultimate limit!
It would be far too great a pity if a prodigy like him died.
It would also be a loss for the sect.
Of course...
A prodigy of the sect whose rise to slaying an Entering the Dao opponent I witnessed with my own eyes, an unparalleled figure far beyond my understanding and imagination... I really want to know just how far beings like you can ultimately go.
