It may seem unreasonable to so, but... when you can easily lift a hundred pounds, can you still rember the struggle of trying to lift that weight when you were seven or eight years old? Can you recall how it felt back then? Clearly not, and if you could do it all over again, you wouldn't think lifting a hundred pounds was difficult. However, for a child of seven or eight, even lifting twenty or thirty pounds is quite an accomplishnt.
Although Luo Fu had successfully resurrected, it took him several days to recover. Fortunately, this was the Immortal Realm within the pot, where Luo Fu's recovery was very swift. Had he been in a normal environnt, it would have taken him at least half a year to fully recover.
The ten days of combat had cald Xin Yun and the others. Against a Diamond One Star expert, they might be able to put up a fight, but it would be best not to provoke a Diamond Two Star.
In those ten days, everyone had used all their combat skills, including Xin Yun's Thunderbolt, sparing no effort. But in front of a Diamond Two Star expert, everything lost its effectiveness.
Once one reached the Diamond Order, each star's advancent was a qualitative change; the gap between each star was even greater than the previous orders...
For a Diamond One Star to defeat a Diamond Two Star was as unlikely as a Bronze Order beating a Silver Order; for a Diamond One Star to challenge a Diamond Three Star was as impossible as Bronze challenging Gold. You might as well attempt to blast away, but you'd probably not even dislodge a single hair from their head. Moreover... the gap between each star at Diamond Order was greater than the gaps between orders before.
If Diamond One Star was equivalent to gunpowder, then Diamond Two Star was like TNT, Diamond Three Star like nitroglycerin... and by the ti you reached Diamond Ten Star, you were nearly on par with uranium-235.
As for the so-called Dragon King level, the realm of the Nine Great Experts, that was the ability to tap into a part of the energies of heaven and earth. Nuclear weapons are powerful indeed, but they still can't compare to the natural world's might—a single volcanic eruption is equivalent to countless atomic bombs detonating at once.
While Xin Yun and his party were making no progress, the double assassination attempts also t with failure. Ti after ti, the assassinations ended in failure, but these two guys were indeed future masters of strategy. Although they didn't succeed, they escaped unscathed every ti, never getting killed even once.
After a long silence, Luo Fu was the first to break the calm. With a long sigh, Luo Fu said with a wry smile, "All this ti I have been so arrogant, yet I am so frail. It seems... I still have a long, long way to go."
"Yes..." Just as Luo Fu finished speaking, Yi Luo Xiang said with a bitter tone, "It's true, with our current strength, we have absolutely no way to contend with a Diamond Two Star expert. Continuing this struggle is aningless, so... Ling Shan City must be abandoned!"
Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Yan Qingying nodded helplessly, "Yes, we can only give it up. But... it's only a temporary asure. One day, we will return!"
"Boom!" As soon as Yan Qingying's words fell, Ming Xuan punched the nearby coffee table. Although he felt extrely frustrated inside, he understood that it was a necessary concession. Over the past ten days, even though their efforts had slowed the enemy, the impact wasn't significant. The enemy would definitely be able to reach Ling Shan before the deadline, rendering all their efforts in vain.
"Sigh..." Watching everyone's downcast expressions, Xin Yun sighed and gently closed his eyes, leaning back in the seat of the sect leader's throne, falling into deep thought.
For a mont, everyone turned their gaze toward Xin Yun. Although they had all agreed to the prior suggestion, nothing would take effect until Xin Yun spoke.
Though Xin Yun seed to have renounced all his rights, the leader was still the leader. No decision could be executed without Xin Yun's consent.
The great hall fell silent for a long while... Suddenly, Xin Yun's eyes snapped open, and after taking a deep breath, he declared resolutely, "No... no matter what, we must secure Ling Shan!"
"Ah!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, everyone exclaid in shock. With things having co to this state, how could they continue? It was all in vain, utterly aningless.
Looking at the astonished eyes of the crowd, Xin Yun said in a deep voice, "This ti, I will not hold back. Tomorrow morning, I will set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation in the direction the Crazy Dragon Gang leader is advancing from and await his arrival. At all costs, he must be delayed, so he cannot return to Ling Shan City on ti!"
Pausing there, Xin Yun looked around and continued gravely, "As for you, your task is equally critical. While I am engaging the Crazy Dragon Gang leader, you must attempt to annihilate the Crazy Dragon Gang's living forces. I want to see just how effective a leader without troops can be, and how he plans to take over my Ling Shan!"
After hearing Xin Yun's plan, Yi Luo Xiang said anxiously, "As long as the Crazy Dragon Gang leader is held back, his Athyst Order subordinates won't be a problem. But the issue now is, can you really hold him back? Shouldn't we think more long-term?"
"Think more long-term?" With a bitter smile, Xin Yun responded, "How do we plan long-term? According to our current situation, unless we break through to the Diamond Order, we stand no chance against him. But the mont we reach the Diamond Order, we can no longer attack his city. I can't bear to lose Ling Shan. As a challenger to the Dragon Gate's authority, we must completely annihilate him; we cannot give up just because it is difficult. It has always been this way, it is now, and it will be forever!"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, everyone was deeply shaken, understanding his intentions for the first ti. For Dragon Gate, Xin Yun clearly harbored special feelings and could never tolerate anyone provoking it and then roaming freely.
However, although Xin Yun had advanced to a One Star Crystal Order, his opponent was a Two Stars Diamond Order expert. The gap between them was simply too vast. Could he really hold back the Mad Dragon Gang leader?
Slowly standing up, Xin Yun surveyed the room and then said gravely, "Alright, everyone should go back and rest now. Adjust your condition well; tomorrow... everything will be decided!"
"Whoo..."
The piercing winds danced wildly, and above the clouds, over sixty people from the Crazy Dragon Gang flew at full speed. Leading the way was naturally the Crazy Dragon Gang leader, followed by over thirty Athyst Order experts and over thirty Crystal Order experts, all flying in a long line at top speed.
The Crazy Dragon Gang hadn't originally been this powerful, but after taking over a new city, it naturally had to recruit talents to help manage the city. After all... Shoushan City was a super tropolis with a population of over thirty million; without enough people, it was impossible to govern. (To be continued. For what happens next, please visit .
