"Yo, not bad."
A familiar voice echoed.
Yu Daochen looked at the figure who had suddenly appeared, placing a hand behind his back, and smiled, "Didn't expect you to come too."
Someone who could push him back several meters with a single punch.
This person was Shen Tianming.
Shen Tianming sized up Yu Daochen, sighing, "I didn't expect you to have truly grown to this extent."
Yu Daochen's lips curved up in a sneer, "What, regretting it?"
"Regretting?"
Shen Tianming wore his usual arrogant smile, "I, Shen Tianming, never regret my actions."
"Is that so."
Yu Daochen smiled, not yielding an inch, but the hand behind his back trembled slightly.
His arm still ached faintly from the previous clash.
This guy's strength was truly immense.
But if it only ached faintly, it at least proved he had the strength to go toe-to-toe with him!
Seeing their leader arrive, the apostles raised their hands and shouted.
"Leader!"
Li Tiandao, standing nearby, was also taken aback. He hadn't expected their leader to come, and he blamed himself.
"I didn't expect you to come in person, Leader. If you hadn't helped me just now, my arm would likely have been severed. Please punish me."
Li Tiandao waved his hand and smiled, "It's not your fault. Even I didn't expect him to grow to this extent. Be careful when you encounter him in the future."
That punch of his just now might have been difficult for even a Black List expert to dodge in time.
At this moment, Yu Daochen was already a supreme expert.
Yu Daochen first glanced at Li Tiandao, then at Shen Tianming, feeling a slight regret.
If this guy had arrived a moment later, he would have already taken Li Tiandao's arm.
Now, with Shen Tianming added to the mix, his situation was precarious.
Should he take the little girl and Su Lai and flee quickly?
He wasn't afraid of a one-on-one fight and was confident he could win.
But a two-on-one would be too much, especially with Shen Tianming being one of them.
"I say, you guys aren't going to gang up on me, are you?"
Yu Daochen chuckled lightly, feigning confidence.
In reality, his feet were already tensed, ready to bolt at any moment.
Shen Tianming looked at Yu Daochen and smiled faintly, "What, are you scared?"
Yu Daochen waved his hand, admitting frankly, "Two-on-one, as if you're not afraid."
Shen Tianming admitted to himself that he was inferior to Yu Daochen in verbal sparring, saying, "Alright, stop with the taunts. I'll let you off the hook today."
Then, he ordered Li Tiandao beside him, "Let's go."
Hearing this, Yu Daochen looked at Shen Tianming with a hint of confusion.
What was this guy up to, just leaving like that?
Li Tiandao beside him said nothing, turning and leaving with Shen Tianming.
Suddenly, Yu Daochen thought of something and his lips curved into a smile, "Don't make it sound so noble. I guess you can't fight, can you?"
Shen Tianming immediately turned back to look at Yu Daochen, his interest piqued, "Oh, what do you mean by that?"
Yu Daochen voiced his guess, "If I'm not mistaken, you're being pursued by someone, aren't you?"
Shen Tianming remained silent, but his expression turned serious.
Seeing the change in his expression, Yu Daochen became even more certain of his guess.
The only people in this world who could make Shen Tianming avoid a fight were likely those three.
"I have to admit, in terms of temperament and talent, you've completely caught up to Xu Feng back then."
Shen Tianming looked at Yu Daochen, seemingly recalling Xu Feng from five hundred years ago.
Hearing Shen Tianming's praise, Yu Daochen was oblivious, saying, "If you want to leave, then leave."
Shen Tianming's pale lips twitched, and he felt a surge of annoyance.
What did this kid mean?
Undermining him and then telling him to leave.
Yu Daochen then spoke again, "Before you go, shouldn't you return the Kang Long Halberd to me?"
Shen Tianming was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Tiandao's Kang Long Halberd, his mouth twitching several times.
What a character, this guy was truly something!
Li Tiandao, standing by, also reacted and threw the Kang Long Halberd over.
Yu Daochen caught the Kang Long Halberd and said nothing.
"Are we good now?" Shen Tianming asked tentatively.
Yu Daochen nodded, "Yes, we're good. What else do you want me to say?"
"..."
Shen Tianming clenched his fists in anger, then let out a cold snort and turned to leave with Li Tiandao.
Just then, Yu Daochen suddenly asked, "Now, how do you think we'd fare against each other?"
Shen Tianming stopped, thought for a few seconds, and then slowly replied, "That depends on your mindset when fighting me. At least, your current strength is still inferior to mine."
"Understood."
Yu Daochen replied and then smiled without speaking.
He already had his answer in his heart.
On the Li family's wall, Li Wangsheng and the others were surprised to see the Shenming Cult retreat so easily, and they marveled at the influence of a Black List expert.
A crisis was resolved with such ease. Black List experts were truly terrifying!
The grand formation was closed, and everyone in the Li family cheered.
Yu Daochen, a former enemy, had now become the hero of the Li family.
Su Lai watched the apostles of the Shenming Cult disappear and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect this battle to end in such a way."
Yu Yijun, seeing Yu Daochen silent, asked in a childish voice, "Daddy, are you troubled by something?"
Yu Daochen's expression was grim, "This matter is probably not as simple as it seems."
Upon hearing this, Su Lai and the others fell silent.
Da Hu frowned, "Master Yu, you mean...?"
Yu Daochen nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, the Shenming Cult's attack wasn't solely directed at the Li family."
These words exploded like a time bomb.
Da Hu and Su Lai immediately took out their phones and called various sects to inquire about their situations.
At the same time, across the entire martial world, over a dozen sects were simultaneously invaded by the Shenming Cult.
No less than ten were annihilated.
At this moment, the entire martial world was thrown into turmoil.
Da Hu and Su Lai, upon learning that their respective sects were safe, breathed a sigh of relief.
The phone suddenly rang, and Yu Daochen looked at it.
It displayed the characters "Xu Lao Er."
Upon answering, Xu Gensheng's voice came through, "Sect Leader, the Shenming Cult has launched a sudden attack."
Yu Daochen, as if he had anticipated this, calmly responded with an "Mm," and asked, "How is the situation?"
Xu Gensheng replied, "With Elder Yu Senior present, there has been no harm."
Yu Daochen acknowledged with an "Mm," gave a few simple instructions, and then hung up.
Before Yu Daochen had left, he had asked his grandfather to guard the Yan Huo Sect.
It seemed his foresight was correct.
Yu Daochen turned to Su Lai and the others and said earnestly, "Brothers, we must be prepared. This chaotic era has likely arrived."
