The old man in white looked at the azure dragon that was charging, a glimmer of admiration flashing in his eyes.
He had lived for ten thousand years and seen countless geniuses, but only a few were able to unleash such a ferocious sword technique in the early stage of the third rank of Golden Immortal.
He raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and a ball of white light radiated from his palm.
The light was pure and warm, without the slightest hostility, but contained world-destroying power.
The light turned into a huge shield, blocking the Azure Dragon from entering.
The Azure Dragon crashed into the light shield, releasing an ear-splitting roar that caused the entire hall to shake slightly.
The light shield shook violently, but remained motionless, showing no signs of breaking.
Gui Yuanzi gritted his teeth and unleashed another sword attack.
This sword strike was even more fierce and domineering than the first.
He released his ancient spiritual power, sacrificing his foundation, to push the Azure Dragon Sword Technique to its utmost limit.
The Azure Dragon doubled in size, and its roar shook the fog in the hall, causing it to churn violently. Even the ancient runes on the walls started to flicker.
The Azure Dragon crashed into the light shield again. This time, cracks appeared on the light shield, and they spread outward like a spider web.
The old man in white frowned slightly.
He withdrew his right hand, and the light shield disappeared.
Without any visible obstruction, the Azure Dragon pounced on the old man with incredible strength.
The old man did not dodge or use any defensive spells; he simply raised his left hand and casually slapped the Azure Dragon’s head.
explosion!
With a loud booming sound, the Azure Dragon shattered into pieces, turning into countless blue light spots that floated in the hall like fireflies.
Gui Yuanzi was thrown backwards by the recoil, spitting out blood. He rolled several times in the air before falling heavily to the ground, sliding several meters away.
His cyan long sword was stuck in the ground not far away, the spiritual light on the sword had completely dimmed, and several fine cracks appeared on the blade.
Gui Yuanzi attempted to stand up, but realized that his legs were no longer under his control.
His left arm was broken, his right leg was injured, and at least two ribs were broken.
It lay on the ground, panting, blood dripping from the corners of its mouth onto the ground, staining a small portion of the bluestone red.
An Dao and Ling Yue stood at the entrance of the main hall, watching Gui Yuanzi being seriously injured, then looked up at the unfathomable aura of the white-robed elder. The two exchanged glances and made a decision at the same time.
They were only sent by the Void Merchant Guild to monitor Gui Yuanzi, not to fight to the death.
If we can’t get the Chaos Potion, we can go back and report. There is no need to risk our lives here.
An Dao sheathed his two swords and turned to run.
Lingyue followed closely, and the two rushed out of the main hall one by one, disappearing into the deep tunnel.
They didn’t even leave a “be careful” message.
Gui Yuanzi watched the two figures flee, and a sense of sadness enveloped his heart.
He didn’t blame them; they weren’t his traveling companions in the first place, they were just spies sent by Wuheng to monitor him.
But he still felt cold, not physically, but emotionally.
He was willing to risk his life for his young master, but he couldn’t expect others to do the same.
“Guiyuanzi, come… you come too.”
David’s voice came from inside the jade bottle, carrying a hint of urgency and a hint of helplessness.
He saw everything outside from inside the jade bottle: Guiyuanzi was seriously injured, and Andao and Lingyue managed to escape.
He knew that if the fight continued, Guiyuanzi would die.
“Young Master I can try one more time”
Gui Yuanzi gritted his teeth, supported his hands on the ground, and tried to stand up.
But his body was no longer under his control; His elbows bent, and he collapsed again.
“Walk!”
David’s voice turned firm, containing an irrefutable command, “Don’t waste your life. As long as you are alive, there is always hope. If you live, we still have a chance. If you die, who can I rely on?”
Gui Yuanzi’s body jolted violently. “Young Master is right.”
He couldn’t die.
With his death, the young master truly had no hope left.
He gritted his teeth, used his remaining strength to get up from the ground, and staggered towards the entrance of the main hall.
He looked back, looking at the old man in white, the figure standing in the middle of the hall, his whisk swaying gently, his expression indifferent.
“Ancestor, why are you blocking me from rebuilding young master’s physical body?”
His voice was hoarse, filled with confusion and a hint of annoyance.
The old man in white didn’t answer, but just looked at him quietly, his eyes were emotionless, like a stagnant pool.
Gui Yuanzi waited for a moment, but got no response. He could only turn around and limped into the tunnel.
Behind him, the light in the hall slowly dimmed, and the old man’s figure slowly disappeared into the mist, leaving only an almost inaudible sigh.
“Guiyuanzi, you are stronger than your teacher.”
Guiyuanzi didn’t hear this.
