Lowering his head, the old man could no longer conceal the horror in his eyes as he stared fearfully at the short silver dagger that had sohow found its way past his defenses and was now lodged in his heart!
''You...? Who are you?'' Elder Ming's voice was clearly trembling, but he still managed to utter that single question as he looked fearfully at the blond-haired woman who was now standing in front of him.
The old man was certain that he had never t this particular peak-stage Dao King before, let alone have a feud with her, so why would she choose to ambush him like that?! Of course, the thought that Xingyi was related to Liu i didn't even cross his mind. After all, if she was really a part of Liu i's group, why wouldn't she step in earlier when they were attacking their formation as a group, and would only make her move now, once he had already decided to escape?
To the old man's regret though, Xingyi wasn't the type to give an explanation once she had already decided to kill soone!
Her right hand was still holding the dagger that was embedded in Elder Ming's chest as her left hand flashed like lightning, before another silver dagger materialized in her palm out of thin air.
With a swift motion, the young woman then slashed sideways, instantly severing the old man's head in a swift strike!
Just like that... a peak-stage Dao King had lost his life!
...
Inside the 'Five-elents protective formation', Shun Long watched the 2 scenes unfold almost simultaneously without saying a word.
Just as Xingyi severed Elder Ming's head, Liu i's black skeletons and the Death Eater obliterated the bald middle-aged man they were fighting against, causing his robust body to burst into a pool of blood, before disappearing completely from the face of the Endless Desert!
Although body refiners possessed incredibly tough bodies and were extrely difficult to be killed, it wasn't impossible to do so if soone trapped them and exhausted all their energy first. As long as they couldn't reform their bodies or if their souls were wounded during a fight, killing them wasn't an impossible task any longer.
Closing his eyes, Shun Long didn't bother with the remaining 4 peak-stage Dao Kings outside and emptied his mind, as he decided to continue his cultivation again. His number one priority right now was to absorb as much of the surrounding 'immortal qi' as he could and get as close to the peak of the Dao King realm as possible before the 'City of Immortals' closed its doors and kicked them out.
Although Bai Longtian and Jiang Chen had already stepped into the early rank 9 of the Dao King realm, Shun Long could only lant over his own progress as his 'Monarch's Hourglass' could only be described as a bottomless pit at this point! Regardless of how much immortal qi he absorbed, after stepping into the late stages of the Dao King realm, Shun Long could tell that even with the 'Heaven Swallowing vine's' help, he might not make it to the peak of the Dao King realm before the 10-year-mark ca to an end.
...
At the sa ti, after completely obliterating the bald middle-aged man, Liu i retracted the skeletons and undead knights under her command, leaving only the Death Eater behind, before taking a seat on the hideous monster's back.
The green-robed woman nad Wang Dongi, as well as the other 2 peak-stage Dao Kings who had co alongside Elder Ming had already left this place a long ti ago, leaving only the white-robed Zhuan Peng behind.
The Elder of the Holy sect was extrely curious about Liu i's experiences over the last few years and how she had improved her cultivation so quickly, and his curiosity was only amplified after witnessing how strong she had grown already!
Zhuan Peng was previously confident that he could at the very least contend with Liu i if not outright subdue her, even if they were both peak-rank 9 Dao Kings, but after seeing that last display of strength, the old man realized how much he had underestimated the young woman in front of him.
At this point, Liu i was without a doubt far stronger than him. She may not necessarily be able to contend with those monsters in the top 100 rankings of the 'White tiger chamber of comrce', but at least as far as the outer court Elders of the Holy sect were concerned, only a couple of them could be a match for her at this point!
After letting out a gentle sigh, the white-robed old man cupped his hands towards the young woman in the distance before turning around to leave.
Although Zhuan Peng really wanted to have a lengthy discussion with Liu i in hopes of finally getting past his barrier and ascending to the Dao Emperor realm in the future, he knew that now was not the right ti for him to do so.
After all, regardless of how generous Liu i may be and willing to accommodate him, the old man's skin wasn't thick enough to sit around and talk over a cup of tea, after his junior had just slaughtered one of his companions and caused the rest of them to flee.
With a respectful look, Liu i stood up and cupped her hands in response, as she saw the white-robed Elder take his leave.
No matter what, Zhuan Peng was a respected Elder and was soone who had treated Shun Long and the others fairly during their stay in the Holy sect, so Liu i would naturally treat the man with proper respect as well.
In fact, if it wasn't for the black-robed Elder Ming being hell-bent on entering the 'Five-elents protective formation' earlier, Liu i would have been willing to take a step back and give Zhuan Peng so face. Unfortunately, Liu i had already learned the hard way that appearing weak within the 'City of Immortals' was tantamount to suicide. Thus the only course of action left for her was to thoroughly deal with the black-robed old man!
..
Barely a minute had passed since Zhuan Peng left the place, before Xingyi's figure gradually erged from the shadows, appearing directly in front of the Death Eater.
The blond-haired beauty had a warm smile on her face as she sat atop the enormous monster's back, right next to Liu i, before she looked at her and said confidently ''i, there's no need to wait any longer. Let's return to that oasis!''
