Lu Li's expression turned completely serious.
His eyes were filled with deep astonishment.
He never expected to hear the words "Nether Toad Blessed Land" from these visiting cultivators.
This means that these people all know that the Azure Pool Three Commanderies are the lair of the Nether Toad Demon Patriarch!
" Senior Brother Lu! These five are all at the Foundation Establishment stage!"
"One is in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, two are in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and two are in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage..."
"They're probably not easy to deal with."
Xu Xiong's voice interrupted Lu Li's thoughts.
His voice sounded slightly tense; he had been unable to attend the Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly during his secluded Foundation Establishment.
Therefore, they had never seen Lu Li's valiant display of fighting against a hundred men single-handedly within the secret realm.
All these years, Lu Li has never been seen to make a move in public.
All that is known is that Lu Li possesses some very powerful Law Artifact.
But right now, there are five Foundation Establishment, one of whom is even in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage!
With such a lineup, it would be difficult for either of them to escape, let alone win.
Xu Xiong hadn't expected to encounter such a lineup so soon after leaving the sect.
Just how many outside cultivators have come to the Azure Pool Three Commanderies?
With an embarrassed expression, he transmitted his voice to Lu Li.
" Senior Brother Lu, these people are not easy to deal with. Why don't you and I hold them off for now?"
"Let's find a way to get those two junior disciples away first. Once they're off, you and I can shake off these guys."
"I wonder if I can shake them off in the end. Oh well! Whatever, this is the only way right now. Senior Brother Lu... Hey? Senior Brother Lu! Where are you going?!"
Xu Xiong was still rambling on and Lu Li via telepathy, trying to come up with a solution.
At the very least, we should try to get two people to escape first, so that we don't all perish here and end up without anyone to carry on the legacy.
If they could survive the Changming Changye bright light, then their deaths wouldn't have been in vain.
But before he could finish speaking, Lu Li forward and stood in front of everyone.
Only a silhouette remained, its back to them.
" Changming, Changye, you two step back for now."
"Be careful and watch out... how your master fights."
Lu Li's indifferent voice reached their ears.
Lu Changming and Lu Changye were obedient and didn't say much, carefully retreating to the back.
The two looked at Lu Li with serious expressions.
It seemed they also wanted to see the divine power of their master.
" Senior Brother Lu, you..."
"Junior Brother Xu, please don't worry. Please take good care of my beloved disciple for me."
As Lu Li spoke, he activated his Storage Bag and released a second-tier flying sword.
The reason he didn't immediately unleash his full power, summoning the third-tier Law Artifact, nor release his combat armor and Spirit Machinery Mech was...
I just wanted to give Changming and Changye a lesson.
Changming Changye joined him, they have rarely fought with others.
Unaware of the dangers and perils of cultivation, and with zero experience in combat.
While Daoist cultivators prioritize stability, this is predicated on the ability to both fight and conceal their true intentions.
Instead of being weak and only knowing how to hide, that's not called being cowardly... that's called being weak.
This opportunity is invaluable to both of them, and it is also a rare opportunity for them to learn through practical experience.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Li calmed himself down and closed his eyes slightly.
This scene caught the attention of the five visiting cultivators, causing them to pause slightly in surprise.
I'm a bit confused.
For some reason, the leader, Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, suddenly felt slightly uneasy.
Their steps faltered in mid-air.
"Senior brother? What's wrong?"
"Why did you stop moving? Do you suspect something's fishy about that person?"
"There shouldn't be anything wrong... Judging from their auras, the other one is only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, while the other is only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage."
"Could it be that those two can turn the world upside down?!"
"..."
A jumble of words echoed in the ears of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
His fellow disciples' words did not make him relax; on the contrary, they made him even more vigilant.
He then spoke in a deep voice.
"Shut up! How dare we be careless in the Demon Ancestor's Blessed Land right here?"
"This person may have some tricks up his sleeve. Don't hesitate! Quickly summon your swords and begin your magic! Don't hold back, kill him first!"
It has to be said, this Foundation Establishment Late Stage is quite intelligent.
They were vigilant enough, but when they got serious, they completely lost their earlier arrogance.
After giving a series of instructions, he first summoned a high-level second-tier flying sword.
"Go!"
He pressed his index fingers together and pushed forward, sending the flying sword hurtling through the air towards Lu Li.
Upon seeing this, the other four quickly stopped joking, Hand Seals, and summoned their flying swords.
Charge towards Lu Li!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
In an instant, five flying swords pierced through the air.
A sharp aura swept through the surroundings.
Lu Li remained motionless; during the last Immortal Ascension Grand Assembly, he fought against a hundred opponents single-handedly.
Relying on his experience with the tools and his superior skills, he managed to hold out for a short while.
However, their actual fighting skills were anything but sophisticated; it was all about brute force and throwing bricks.
From then on, Lu Li realized his shortcomings.
They specifically asked the country to use quantum computers to optimize and summarize their combat techniques.
Through repeated practice, even without actual combat experience, I have already gained many insights.
Faced with this fierce killing move, all five swords attacked simultaneously.
Lu Li's eyes suddenly snapped open!
A chilling murderous intent flashed across his face.
"Kill!"
With a low shout, the flying sword shot out like a dragon, Lu Li moved like the wind, his voice steady as a bell.
While charging into the enemy ranks, he provided real-time, clear instruction to Changming Changye.
"Disciple, watch closely. At the beginning of the duel, you can use Movement Method to avoid the opponent's strengths and attack their weaknesses, seizing the initiative."
Lu Li pointed his fingers like a sword, his body moving swiftly.
"This method is called positioning and maneuvering; you must carefully understand the nuances of advancing and retreating within it."
"To advance or retreat, to attack or withdraw, to combine feints and real attacks—only then can one move freely."
The benefits of hands-on teaching are immediate.
Not only Changming and Changye watch it intently, but Lu Li also became increasingly familiar with it.
The movements, which were initially somewhat hesitant, became increasingly smooth.
He raised his hand and several streams of fire magic shot out.
Precisely blocking the opponent's space to move left or right.
"The application of magic is not limited to killing; it can also be surprisingly effective in breaking stalemates and controlling the field!"
"This method relies on prediction and calculation; with sufficient experience, victory is assured."
Lu Li maintained his Spiritual Power output at a moderate level throughout.
With only exquisite control and combat skills, he completely suppressed the five people.
In the flash of sword light, anticipating the enemy's moves, finding weaknesses, avoiding attacks and dangers, skillfully neutralizing force.
One person beat five people until they were covered in dust and dirt.
Anyone could see that Lu Li wasn't using his full strength.
Xu Xiong was deeply moved; he had never imagined that a battle of magic could be so... exquisite!
The five men grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.
He felt as if he were trapped in a quagmire, unable to use his cultivation skills and instead being led by the nose by his opponent, resulting in a huge depletion of his Spiritual Power.
He couldn't even touch the hem of Lu Li's clothes.
"Senior brother! This person is strange; we cannot defeat him by force!"
A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator finally couldn't help but send a horrified telepathic message.
The leader's face turned ashen; he was already considering retreating.
Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Lu Li's eyes suddenly turn fierce.
A sudden chill ran through him, and he hissed, "The wind's getting strong! Get out of here!"
Seeing this, Lu Li Taoism time was up and it was time to end the class.
He needs to thoroughly investigate these outside cultivators... how did they know about the Nether Toad Blessed Land!
