Li Zhirui’s sudden attack was unexpected, even for the Mysterious Immortal Lu Wanli standing within the army. He couldn’t react in time to stop the attack and saw that Heavenly Immortal’s life fade away.
This sudden change frightened the group of cultivators, making everyone wary. Some even secretly mobilized their mana to activate their defensive treasures.
They hoped not to be able to block a Mysterious Immortal’s attack, but at least not to be caught off guard by death.
"You have quite the means."
Lu Wanli said with a gloomy expression, "But I’m afraid you might not be able to protect your own life."
Killing someone right under his nose was akin to being heavily slapped in public, how could he swallow this humiliation?
"I do admire your courage."
Li Zhirui asked calmly, "Why do you think your strength is greater than mine, that you can kill me?"
Though observing one’s aura doesn’t determine their true strength, it does hold significant reference value for assessment.
In his view, the opponent’s aura wasn’t stronger than his; it was actually slightly weaker.
"Who said this battle is for me alone?"
Lu Wanli wore a strange smile and then sidestepped, saying, "Zhang, given the situation, why not reveal yourself? We can resolve this matter quickly."
"Taoist Brother Lu, isn’t it too hasty to reveal my whereabouts now?"
From the crowd, an unassuming Human Immortal cultivator quickly stepped forward to stand beside Lu Wanli.
And his aura was fully unveiled.
It was also a Mysterious Immortal, with even a mightier aura.
"I am Zhang Daoyan."
His words were filled with confidence.
Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow. No wonder the opponent was so confident; there was a second Mysterious Immortal, and his strength seemed considerably potent.
Li Qiankun and other elders and disciples of the Tongtian Sect wore worried expressions; it was clear that the sect leader was fighting two people, and they were now at a disadvantage.
Considering the entire situation, the opponent had dozens of Heavenly Immortals, an existence they couldn’t match.
Despair and fear pervaded rapidly across the Ascension Mountain.
"Do not worry, they can’t break the Mountain Protection Array with just these people." Li Zhirui sensed the change in emotions of those behind him. He slightly frowned but still tried to calmly reassure them.
"Heh!"
Lu Wanli sneered, "At this point, you’re still stubborn. Won’t admit you’re no match for us?"
"Life and death battles cannot be determined with mere words," Li Zhirui shook his head, his eyes flashed with disdain. The more his opponent acted like this, the more it showed their outer brashness hid inner timidity.
Perhaps his disdain was too evident, Lu Wanli immediately shouted, "Then why don’t you dare e out and fight?"
"As you wish!"
In the next moment, Li Zhirui flew forward, directly facing Lu Wanli and Zhang Daoyan.
’Act according to the plan!’
Before leaving, he specifically instructed Li Qiankun, confirming there were no issues before confidently engaging in battle.
Seeing the two, he wasted no words, attacking straight away. Two green vines shot out, targeting the vital points of both.
"Such methods, it’s better not to show off with them." Lu Wanli sneered, full of disdain. With a thought, a flame rose in front of him, trying to burn the two vines.
But unexpectedly, it didn’t work!
The vines were still advancing fiercely, already closing in on the two.
He struck again to intercept, showing no fear, but it gave off a sense of anger and shame.
Luckily, Lu Wanli got serious this time, successfully burning down the attack; otherwise, his face would truly be lost.
From this trial, Li Zhirui realized his strength wasn’t his match. If it was just him alone, defeating him wouldn’t be a problem, but killing was a bit difficult.
As for Zhang Daoyan beside him, since he hadn’t taken action, he wasn’t sure of his strength yet.
Though he didn’t feel threatened by him, given his previous stealth methods, perhaps he was still hiding a lot of his strength?
In any case, Li Zhirui remained cautious of him.
Thoughts passed in just an instant.
Facing the battle with two Mysterious Immortals, he dared not be distracted or careless at all.
"Zhang, attack together and quickly take this man down!" Lu Wanli impatiently shouted.
"Good idea!"
Zhang Daoyan nodded in agreement, mana surging within him. A flash of white light seemed to pass through space, appearing right before Li Zhirui.
Ding!
However, under his life-bound magic treasure’s defense, the sudden attack didn’t achieve much effect.
Its power was ordinary, with the defensive spirit light only stirring a little, but quickly calming down.
Yet, Li Zhirui’s expression didn’t relax, but grew more severe.
Because where the white light came from, he keenly sensed a life-threatening danger, yet the attack against the defensive spirit light was weak. Such strange changes suggested that this man’s methods were not simple!
’In the critical battle, still hiding his strength? What is this man planning?’
Li Zhirui’s eyes flashed with doubt, his heart on high alert, growing warier of this mysterious cultivator.
"Please Zhang, cover for me, watch me take him down!"
