"Achoo!"
As Li Xuan and Wang Pangzi walked out of a dilapidated palace, the Heavenly Dao Brush suddenly sneezed. Li Xuan was startled, even a brush could sneeze?
"Young master, you're in trouble." Before Li Xuan could speak, the Heavenly Dao Brush's voice echoed in his mind. Li Xuan frowned, his sneeze meant he was in trouble?
"Young master, someone is targeting you. However, this matter concerns heavenly secrets, and I cannot reveal it. In short, young master, you'll have to fend for yourself from now on." After speaking, the Heavenly Dao Brush fell silent. Li Xuan's expression immediately turned solemn.
Li Xuan still didn't fully understand the function of the Heavenly Dao Brush. But judging from the immortal sword before, the Heavenly Dao Brush at least had the ability to sense all things. And the current warning from the brush clearly indicated a significant crisis ahead.
"Brother Wang, let's find a place to adjust ourselves," Li Xuan said after a moment of thought, looking at Wang Pangzi.
Wang Pangzi was taken aback. Although he was puzzled why Li Xuan suddenly said this, he still nodded.
"Brother Wang, I need to go into seclusion for a few days. In the coming days, we are likely to face great trouble." On a mountaintop, Li Xuan stopped and said to Wang Pangzi. Since the Heavenly Dao Brush had already warned him, Li Xuan had to make some preparations. Improving his strength was undoubtedly the best way.
"Okay." Wang Pangzi didn't ask what kind of trouble Li Xuan was referring to, but nodded and said solemnly, "Brother Li, feel free to go into seclusion. Even if someone comes looking for trouble, I will do my best to hold them off until you emerge."
Li Xuan nodded, then walked into a stone cave ahead and sat down. After a period of regulating his breathing, Li Xuan directly took out thirty high-grade spirit swords and arranged them around his body. As each spirit sword was inserted into his dantian, Li Xuan's aura began to climb.
Sensing the aura emanating from the stone cave, Wang Pangzi sat down on the ground and looked forward. The golden pagoda in front of him also began to rotate slowly. In the past few days, Wang Pangzi had recognized it as his master and could now activate it. Coupled with his own defenses, Wang Pangzi's defenses were now even more formidable.
A day passed, and the situation remained calm.
However, Wang Pangzi's expression became solemn. He sensed seventeen auras within his spiritual consciousness. And all seventeen auras were Half-Saints!
"Brother Li, your crow's mouth is truly accurate." Wang Pangzi chuckled wryly and immediately activated his Golden Bell.
The next moment, the Golden Bell enlarged and floated above Wang Pangzi's head like a transparent shield, completely enveloping him. Not only that, but Wang Pangzi also formed hand seals and unleashed his strongest defense.
Immovable Wisdom King!
"Esteemed sirs, it seems they have already discovered us." The man in the purple robe slowly walked to within ten feet of Wang Pangzi and stopped, smiling.
As soon as the man in the purple robe finished speaking, sixteen other figures also appeared.
Wang Pangzi glanced at them, his expression turning grave. Seventeen Half-Saints, and all of them were prodigies from the Three Realms.
"Brother Li, what kind of mouth do you have." Wang Pangzi grumbled, realizing these seventeen individuals were clearly not to be trifled with. Upon seeing the man in the purple robe, Wang Pangzi understood that these people had clearly been persuaded by the purple-robed man to come and ambush him and Li Xuan.
Just as Li Xuan had said, this was indeed a huge trouble. If it were just Wang Pangzi alone, he would have likely chosen to flee at this moment. But there was no choice; Li Xuan was still in seclusion. Wang Pangzi had never truly admired many people in his life, but Li Xuan was one of them. xxs1
"Brother Li, I hope you won't disappoint me." Wang Pangzi's eyes gradually became resolute. Since Li Xuan had already foreseen this trouble and chosen to go into seclusion, he naturally had a solution. Perhaps after Li Xuan's breakthrough, this current predicament could be easily resolved. After all, when Li Xuan was at the initial stage of the Martial God realm, he could already threaten Half-Saints.
With this thought, Wang Pangzi no longer bothered with the man in the purple robe and his companions. With a thought, three million mid-grade spirit stones scattered around him. A surge of terrifying spiritual energy quickly flowed into Wang Pangzi's body. The next moment, a giant Buddha phantom materialized behind Wang Pangzi.
"Immovable Wisdom King Dharma Body... So you are the inheritor of that scattered human race. Although the defense of your Dharma Body is very strong, under our combined efforts, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for too long," a Rakshasa tribe powerhouse said with a light laugh upon seeing this.
"Brother Xiu Cang, do you recognize this person?" the man in the purple robe asked with a slight frown.
Xiu Cang smiled and replied, "This person is from a minor tribe in our Nine Nether Realm, insignificant outside the Nine Nether Realm. However, the defense of this Immovable Wisdom King Dharma Body is extremely powerful. If we were to face him alone, we truly wouldn't be able to do anything to him."
The man in the purple robe's expression slightly eased, and he agreed with Xiu Cang's words. Before, Wang Pangzi had relied on the Immovable Wisdom King's defense to hold out until Li Xuan arrived. With this in mind, the man in the purple robe's gaze suddenly shifted to the stone cave behind Wang Pangzi.
Sensing the aura within the stone cave steadily rising, the man in the purple robe's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Everyone, let's attack together. Any delay could lead to unforeseen changes."
"Zi Ling, you seem a little fearful. Tell me, with your strength, even if you can't break through this person's defense, you shouldn't need to join forces with so many of us to deal with them. What is the secret here?" a woman in a tight black robe asked, swaying her slender waist as she looked at the man in the purple robe.
Zi Ling cursed inwardly, but still managed a smile. "Previously, eight prodigies from my clan were all killed by the person beside him with a single sword. To be honest, even I couldn't see how that person made his move at the time. And now, that person is inside, breaking through in seclusion."
Everyone followed Zi Ling's gaze towards the stone cave and sensed Li Xuan's presence. And as Zi Ling had said, the aura inside was indeed slowly increasing.
"With only the strength of the initial stage of the Martial God realm, even after breaking through, it will only be the middle stage. Such a person would scare you?" Xiu Cang asked with a slight frown.
Zi Ling's eyes turned cold, and her expression darkened. She slowly said, "Everyone, what I said is not false. Otherwise, why would I have contacted you? If we could take down these two, would you be willing to share the spoils? At this point, is it not pointless to say such things?"
"Fine, since we've all come, we can't leave empty-handed. Moreover, what Zi Ling said is true; the person inside is likely not as simple as he appears. Everyone, let's attack together," Xing Hu said after a few moments of contemplation and a nod.
"I'll handle the one inside. You deal with this fatso," Xiu Cang nodded and immediately shot towards the stone cave. Wang Pangzi's expression changed, and he became ferocious.
Li Xuan's breakthrough was clearly at a critical juncture. If he were disturbed, it could lead to a failed breakthrough, or even endanger his life. With this thought, Wang Pangzi had no other considerations. The next moment, Wang Pangzi's hand seals shifted, and the giant Buddha behind him slowly pointed a finger towards Xiu Cang.
"If you want to get in, you'll have to get past me first!"
"Immovable Wisdom King, Buddha's Wrathful Finger!"
