In that instant, Lu Fan and the others stepped forward, attacking Bai Sha with a sharp aura.
Bai Sha's lips curved upwards. In a flash, he had injured the entire wave of attackers, appearing incredibly powerful, his aura no weaker than Hei Sha's.
For a moment, Lu Fan and the others dared not act rashly. The strength of a Heavenly Lord seventh-realm expert was truly inconceivable; they hesitated to approach, fearing for their lives.
"I truly didn't expect Bai Sha to be so strong!"
The City Lord of Wushuang frowned. "What should we do now? With our current strength, I fear we cannot do anything to Bai Sha."
"Don't speak too soon, or you'll be boosting the enemy's morale and dampening our own!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly. "Even if Bai Sha's power reaches the heavens, he will be buried here today!"
As soon as the words fell, the Haotian Pagoda floated above Lu Fan's head, his aura reaching its peak, appearing boundless and instilling a sense of dread.
"A divine artifact!"
Seeing this, Bai Sha's brow furrowed. "Who are you, kid? How can you possess a divine artifact and control it!"
"Just an ordinary kid!" Lu Fan shrugged. "But no matter how ordinary I am, I can make you deeply realize the might of a divine artifact!"
With that, Lu Fan furiously channeled spiritual energy, his inner aura surging like a tumultuous tide.
Witnessing this, everyone was stunned and disbelieving. They had never expected Lu Fan to possess such capabilities, which was truly awe-inspiring.
"What's going on? I've never seen this kid's aura become so strong!"
The City Lord of Wushuang frowned. "Has he completely awakened the divine artifact? Otherwise, how could this be..."
"To fully awaken a divine artifact would unleash world-ending energy, but would also cause a backlash to the user!" Elder Feng said with a frown. "If that's truly the case, it would be troublesome!"
At these words, everyone's brows furrowed. If something happened to Lu Fan, it would greatly impact them.
After all, among those present, only Lu Fan held a divine artifact. Without its power, how could they contend with a Heavenly Lord seventh-realm expert?
Bai Sha frowned, daring not to be careless in the face of such a terrifying divine artifact.
He wouldn't have paid attention to an ordinary person, but Lu Fan did not appear ordinary. Although he had not yet reached the Heavenly Lord realm, his overall aura was already terrifyingly potent.
"Half-step Heavenly Lord!"
Zhao Xiaotian stood not far away, gazing at Lu Fan, murmuring to himself.
He could tell that Lu Fan had reached the strength of a half-step Heavenly Lord. Coupled with the divine artifact's full awakening, he was actually facing a Heavenly Lord seventh-realm expert without any hesitation.
At the same time, Zhao Xiaotian also felt a terrifying aura sweep over him, leaving him no choice but to submit.
Rumble...
A booming sound echoed as Bai Sha and Lu Fan clashed, neither daring to be negligent.
In an instant, a powerful aura pressed down, carrying an unparalleled momentum.
The two figures were thrown back violently, blood trickling from their lips. Clearly, they hadn't expected their opponent to be so strong.
Puff...
Lu Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, appearing mentally shaken, his brow furrowed.
Concurrently, Lu Fan quickly looked towards the others. "You're still waiting! Why aren't you making your move!"
The many experts, who had been standing by, finally reacted and attacked Bai Sha one after another.
Lu Fan, having sustained serious injuries, had managed to wound Bai Sha. This was their best opportunity.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Bai Sha directly fled towards the outside of Wuyou Valley. Having been injured by the divine artifact, continuing to fight would not be beneficial for him.
The others also sensed Bai Sha's distress and, without any hesitation, surged towards him, exuding a powerful aura.
Bai Sha dared not engage in a head-on fight. Although he was a Heavenly Lord seventh-realm expert, after being injured, his aura had become somewhat depleted, catching everyone off guard.
Witnessing this, Hei Sha's face turned ashen. "It seems you were well-prepared. No wonder you are so confident!"
"You've hit the nail on the head. If we weren't sufficiently prepared, we wouldn't dare come to Wuyou Valley!" City Lord Xue Luo smiled. "Our strengths are comparable, and it would be difficult to determine a victor. However, Bai Sha is different. He was injured by a divine artifact and will likely perish soon!"
"What exactly do you want!"
Hei Sha's expression changed, his gaze growing colder.
"Nothing else, we just want to take your primal spirits, and from now on, you will only follow my arrangements!"
City Lord Xue Luo said with a faint smile. "This way, you can still live. Isn't it a win-win situation!"
"You don't really think you can have whatever you want, do you?"
Hei Sha said coldly. "We won't be like Elder Feng; you should give up on that idea!"
"There's no point in talking further!"
City Lord Xue Luo said coldly. "Since you've said so, let me see what you are capable of!"
Hei Sha frowned. In terms of true strength, he couldn't defeat City Lord Xue Luo, let alone with Bai Di's assistance. He felt incredibly frustrated.
Bai Di assisted from the side, feeling refreshed. He had been quite worried before, but he hadn't expected things to be so simple.
If he had known City Lord Xue Luo had already reached the Heavenly Lord seventh realm, he wouldn't have been so fearful.
Outside Wuyou Valley, Elder Bei of Sheng City frowned. Sensing the world-destroying energy from Wuyou Valley, he was inwardly shocked. He dared not enter Wuyou easily and instead observed from the vicinity of a nearby valley.
Only when he saw Bai Sha flying out, pursued by a host of experts, did he feel a jolt of shock. Naturally, he hadn't expected the Four Great Cities to have already taken action, and so fiercely at that, not even sparing the Black and White Fiends.
Thinking of this, Elder Bei didn't dare to hesitate and turned to leave. He knew very well that joining the fight at this moment would be courting death.
The Black and White Fiends were Heavenly Lord seventh-realm experts, and perhaps he could still find a way to survive, but entering there would be direct suicide.
After being pursued by the group, Bai Sha, heavily wounded, escaped from Wuyou Valley.
The others then returned and surrounded Hei Sha.
With one of the Black and White Fiends defeated, they posed no significant threat, so there was no need to worry too much.
