Le Xi was in a terrible situation. He not only had to endure the suppression of his cultivation level by the other party, but also had to try his best to keep up with his master's pace. While struggling, he also had to worry about Wei Wenru's safety.
That's quite an achievement!
Everyone was focused on fighting and didn't notice that the magical artifact imprisoning Nian Wanzhou was expanding, the cracks were getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to burst.
Yue Lie noticed that Le Xi was distracted by Wei Wenru, and with a mischievous thought, he flashed in front of Wei Wenru and struck her with a move.
"Wenru!"
"Senior Sister!"
Three tense voices rang out at the same time, only to see Wei Wenru being knocked away, smashing several trees before rolling to the ground.
However, in the next instant, Wei Wenru stood up unharmed.
His body...was not even covered in dust.
"This...how is this possible?" This time it was Venerable Yue Lie's turn to be nervous. This move of his was something even the Grand Elder might not be able to withstand, yet it was neutralized by this little girl?
Just playing around!
"Wenru, are you injured?" The First Elder hurriedly went to block Venerable Yue Lie's next move, then turned back to check on his daughter. Seeing her robust appearance, she seemed to be alright.
"Father, I'm alright!" Wei Wenru jumped up easily. That attack was something she hadn't been able to dodge in time; although it was powerful, it was still...
It was powerful, but when it hit her, it didn't hurt or itch. Her spiritual energy only fluctuated slightly in response.
It was all over just like that.
"You don't even spare the younger generation, Yue Lie, how did you become like this!" The First Elder angrily rebuked him, recalling the past... this old friend used to care the most about the younger generation.
Venerable Yue Lie's face turned truly dark. He was the one who had suppressed the Grand Elder, yet now he couldn't even inflict any damage on a junior with a single move.
How could that be? The other party must have been hiding their strength.
But I haven't heard of any juniors breaking through to the Void Refinement stage recently, so it must be fake.
Le Xi glared fiercely at Yue Lie and charged forward at the elder's command, but her strength was no match for Yue Lie's.
"What are you glaring at me for, you brat!" Yue Lie was just looking for someone to vent his anger on, and just then the Grand Elder led his men up. He could use this kid to regain his dignity. Perfect timing!
Yue Lie held a black spherical magic artifact in his hand, and the black mist deepened again. Along with this, several moon-shaped patterns appeared on his body, covering his white clothes.
Like the bright moonlight rising slowly in the night, mysterious and sacred, it then turns evil.
"Lexi, get out of the way!" Realizing that Yue Lie was about to unleash a powerful attack, the Grand Elder roared angrily, grabbing Lexi's small horn with one hand and quickly gathering his strength with the other, preparing to counterattack.
With a deafening roar, black mist descended from the sky along with the crescent moon, instantly engulfing the man and the dragon in an eerie darkness. The oppressive atmosphere made it impossible to breathe.
The suppression was so intense that the master and disciple coughed up blood.
This move came extremely fast, giving the master and disciple no chance to escape. Not only did their cultivation level suppress them, but their opponent also wouldn't let them escape so easily.
It could be vaguely seen that the dragon's body, which had originally risen in the black mist, was now pressed almost to the ground. The dragon's body was twisted, with many scales falling off and bloodstains everywhere.
Meanwhile, the master, under immense pressure, wielded his longsword with trembling hands, still struggling to resist move after move.
But soon enough, blood seeped from his body, soaking through his long robe.
Mixed with the dragon's blood...
Wei Wenru gritted her teeth, dealing with the scarred man's entanglement while trying to break free from the black mist's control. Even if she could break through the black mist, she couldn't overcome the limitations of the spherical magic artifact.
Nan Yu was just a newbie who had just established his foundation, and he was only good at alchemy. Apart from being tough and able to harass the scarred man in close combat, he could only take beatings.
Unable to go up and help, he could only try his best to hold off the scarred man so that Wei Wenru could be distracted to help the Grand Elder. In the end, Nan Yu was also covered in wounds.
......
Yue Lie, once a genius magic artifact master, created all sorts of magic artifacts at his peak, none of which could be broken.
Then, there was another loud "bang".
The magical artifact imprisoning Nian Wanzhou burst open, and in that instant, pure white spiritual energy rushed out of the bag, flew into the sky, and entangled with, dispelled, and absorbed the black mist.
"Roar!" The familiar dragon roar resounded through the sky once again, causing all the spirit beasts and wild beasts to roar in response.
The king of beasts has escaped!
With this dragon's roar, the barrier of black mist was completely shattered, and the spell formed by the magic weapon was also torn apart by the abundant spiritual energy around it.
"Crack, crack." The barrier of the attack was completely shattered, and the master and disciple were thrown back by the backlash, rolling several miles away.
"Wanwan!" Nan Yu, who was being beaten on the ground, shouted excitedly, but his entire dragon was suppressed and unable to move, so he could no longer run over and hug the little dragon cub he had been protecting for more than a year.
"Nan Yu!" Nian Wanzhou's claws and mouth were also injured from chewing on the magic weapon, and his voice changed when he called for help.
When Nian Wanzhou saw her master, senior brother, and senior sister, all covered in wounds, she was furious. "Master! Second senior brother!"
"You bunch of bad people, how could you do this!" The naive little dragon cub trembled as he accused Yue Lie, who had also suffered a backlash.
Fortunately, reinforcements arrived from behind; it was the Fifth Elder who rushed over with his help.
The surrounding black mist rushed towards Nian Wanzhou, swirling around her, and then being diluted again. Nian Wanzhou was like a filter, constantly transforming and purifying the black mist.
All the people saw was a small white dragon soaring into the sky, its whiteness accentuated by the black mist.
It is extremely sacred.
The abundant spiritual energy in the surroundings made one feel hot all over and restless.
Yue Lie suppressed the urge to vomit blood, his eyes gleaming with greed as he stared intently at the little white dragon. If he could obtain her, he could become an immortal—his master had promised him.
Without the black mist's blessing, Yue Lie resembled an aged mortal. He laboriously produced a magical artifact, its surface covered in intricate, floating patterns, radiating white light. It was clearly no ordinary item; it was likely a demigod's artifact…
Meanwhile, Nian Wanzhou was still absorbing the black mist, struggling to fly backward. She wanted to help Nan Yu and her master.
Nan Yu was still being trampled under the scarred man's feet, taking blow after blow, blood flowing from his body and mouth, yet he still did not give up resisting.
What a joke! Nan Yu survived in the most dangerous secret realms; how could he possibly be unable to withstand the attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator?
"Let go of Nan Yu! Let go of him!" Nian Wanzhou, who had lost her mind, was now tormented by a splitting headache. The black mist blocked her way, preventing her from rushing forward.
Her remaining rationality told her to hide and not hold everyone back.
