This is the gap!
Xiao Feng's body was as slippery as an eel. He suddenly ducked down and slammed his toes into the ground!
"Whoosh!"
He shot off like an arrow, instantly breaking free from the encirclement of the two disciples!
The speed was so fast that it was a stark contrast to the "struggling" way he had just dealt with it!
"That kid got away!"
"Stop him!"
Someone realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise.
But would Xiao Feng give them another chance?
He moved with lightning speed, nimbly weaving through the chaotic crowd and overturned tables and chairs. His footwork was mysterious, like a butterfly flitting among flowers. Several times he seemed about to be drawn into the battle, but he always managed to narrowly avoid it by the slightest margin.
Occasionally, a sword or knife might come flying at him, but he would easily deflect it.
Hey buddy, watch where you're going!
Excuse me! I'm in a hurry!
He kept joking around, but his speed didn't slow down at all. In just a few breaths, he had rushed out of the central area of the hall where the most intense battle was taking place, and like a gust of wind, he swept towards the deep and quiet corridor behind the hall!
That corridor is the only way to the inner courtyard of the Immortal Cloud Sect and also to Qiu Mobai's study!
The corridor was dimly lit, with only a few lamps casting a faint glow, which stretched his shadow long on the mottled wall.
The clamor of the main hall behind him seemed to be shut out, leaving only the sound of his own hurried footsteps and heartbeat.
At that very moment!
"You little beast! How dare you!!!"
A roar filled with boundless rage and terror suddenly exploded like a thunderclap from the heavens!
The sound was so loud that it even drowned out the sounds of fighting throughout the main hall!
It's Qiu Mobai!
Qiu Mobai, who had been observing coldly, had a drastic change in expression the moment he saw Xiao Feng break away from the battle like a ghost and rush towards the back hall corridor without hesitation!
That originally gloomy face was now twisted with extreme anger and a hint of barely perceptible panic!
His eyes were bloodshot, the veins on his forehead bulged like writhing dragons, and his teeth were grinding together!
He never expected that this kid would have such skill and courage!
What was even more unexpected was how clear his goal was.
It's my own study!
No one should be allowed to go in there!
"court death!!!"
Qiu Mobai could no longer care about maintaining his demeanor as a sect leader, and let out a beast-like roar!
He stomped his foot hard, and the hard white jade ground beneath his feet cracked instantly!
His entire body transformed into a blurry afterimage, carrying a terrifying aura of world destruction, as he hurtled down from the high platform!
It was incredibly fast, even leaving a faint white trail in the air!
Wherever he went, several disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect who were blocking his way were unable to dodge in time and were directly knocked away by the violent energy, spitting out blood!
A chilling killing intent, like a tangible cold current, instantly locked onto the figure running wildly in the corridor ahead!
Xiao Feng felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, and an unprecedented sense of crisis instantly enveloped his entire body!
He didn't even need to turn around to feel the terrifying pressure behind him that almost tore him apart!
"This is outrageous! That old guy is getting involved himself!" Xiao Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he sprinted as fast as he could, putting all his strength into it!
He knew that if Qiu Mobai caught up with him, it would be a dead end!
Two figures moved swiftly through the dark corridor, one fleeing desperately and the other chasing frantically. The air was thick with suffocating tension and murderous intent!
Xiao Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around sharply, and created a gust of wind.
Rather than being chased to death by this old guy like a rabbit, we might as well take a gamble!
Filled with boundless rage and killing intent, Qiu Mobai rushed to within three feet of Xiao Feng in an instant. His usually refined face was now twisted into a ferocious grimace, his eyes seeming to want to skin Xiao Feng alive.
"You little beast, you're asking for death!"
Qiu Mobai's voice was hoarse and filled with violence. His withered hand reached out like an eagle's claw, aiming straight for Xiao Feng's throat!
Xiao Feng sneered inwardly: "Hmph, old codger, finally couldn't hold back? I'm a transmigrator, I know all about your dirty secrets! Today I'll make you perform a spectacular explosion in front of everyone, let's see how you pretend to be a pillar of the righteous path! You won't let me into the study? Fine, then I'll force you to prove yourself with demonic arts!"
The thought had barely formed in his mind when Xiao Feng advanced instead of retreating, his hands suddenly forming hand seals, and his immortal power, which, while not particularly powerful, was exceptionally pure, surged wildly within him!
"Water Curtain Sky Splendor!" he shouted, his voice echoing in the narrow corridor.
In an instant, a pale blue halo suddenly spread out from Xiao Feng! Countless crystal-clear aquamarine light spots appeared out of thin air, like billions of stars, instantly intertwining and condensing! A huge, radiant aquamarine light screen was generated out of thin air, as if the Milky Way had been poured down, carrying an overwhelming pressure, and crashed down on Qiu Mobai!
Above the light screen, water rippled and runes appeared and disappeared, exuding a holy and majestic aura, illuminating the entire dark corridor!
This sudden change caused Qiu Mobai's pupils to shrink sharply!
He never expected that Xiao Feng, whom he considered like an ant, could actually unleash such exquisite and powerful magic!
The Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor is a basic spell that all introductory disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect must learn, but it usually only creates a small water shield for defense. However, what Xiao Feng unleashed was far more than a water shield; it was clearly a water barrier enveloping the entire world! Its vastness and the purity of its energy far surpassed that of ordinary inner disciples!
What alarmed Qiu Mobai even more was that the pure water-based spiritual power contained in this spell had a natural restraining effect on his cultivation of yin and evil demonic arts!
"Damn it! How could this little beast..."
Qiu Mobai was filled with shock and anger, but being a seasoned veteran, he reacted swiftly. Seeing the massive water curtain about to crash down upon him, the demonic energy within him erupted instantly!
"Roar!" A low, inhuman roar came from deep within Qiu Mobai's throat. Black energy surged around him, like ink, enveloping his entire body! On his withered hands, black nails grew several inches long, gleaming with a cold, eerie light!
"Break for me!" Qiu Mobai roared, his withered claws, imbued with thick black energy, fiercely grabbing at the descending water curtain!
"Sizzle—!"
A piercing scraping sound rang out, like boiling oil being poured onto a soldering iron!
The moment the black mist came into contact with the water curtain, a violent energy conflict erupted!
The azure light and the pitch-black demonic energy clashed and annihilated each other, emitting a crackling sound!
The water curtain trembled violently, its light flickering, as if it might shatter at any moment.
But Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and desperately maintained the output of his magic, his forehead veins bulging and his face turning pale.
He knew that with his current level of cultivation, it was too difficult for him to withstand Qiu Mobai head-on. He had to finish the battle quickly and force Qiu Mobai to reveal more of his weaknesses!
