"Attack!" As Li Xuan's left hand swept down, Zhu Juncai immediately gave a low order to attack to his left and right.
Over six hundred figures rapidly descended towards the Holy Sect disciples below under the cover of night, and Li Xuan's team on the left did the same.
"Enemy attack!"
With over fourteen hundred people, complete silence was impossible. In just ten breaths, the two teams were discovered by the Holy Sect disciples. With a loud shout, the Holy Sect disciples immediately took to the air and clashed with Li Xuan and Zhu Juncai's attacking forces.
"It's those damned Xuan Sect disciples!"
"Eliminate them!"
"We haven't gone to find their trouble, yet they dare to deliver themselves to our doorstep! Everyone attack with full force, leave none alive!"
"..."
The Holy Sect disciples shouted, and countless spiritual lights shot up into the sky, instantly merging with the Xuan Sect forces and engaging in a fierce battle.
"The Xuan Sect forces truly have guts! But do you really think that with just these people, you can take us down?"
At this moment, a chilling voice suddenly sounded.
From within a cave, a figure flew out rapidly. The aura emanating from him was clearly that of a peak Dao Integration stage expert!
"This is bad, it's Zu Letian! He, he actually broke through to the peak of the Dao Integration stage!" Zhu Juncai's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.
"I'll handle this person. Brother Zhu, you must finish quickly!" Li Xuan's face also turned solemn upon hearing this. He moved swiftly and flew rapidly towards Zu Letian in the air.
"Junior Brother Li Xuan, be careful!" Zhu Juncai shouted to Li Xuan.
However, he then remembered that Li Xuan had also broken through to the Dao Seeking stage and immediately became anxious. But seeing Li Xuan already flying towards Zu Letian, he couldn't stop him and quickly shot into the crowd of Holy Sect disciples below.
"Who are you?" Zu Letian frowned slightly as he looked at Li Xuan.
He paid no attention to the chaotic battle below.
"Just an unknown nobody. I didn't expect all the Holy Sons to have gone to the depths of the Ying Long Grotto-heaven, yet you hide here. Could it be that there is some unspeakable secret here?" Li Xuan shrugged and asked tentatively.
"An unknown nobody? In that case, you shall remain unknown forever!" Zu Letian snorted coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, he lunged directly at Li Xuan. Spiritual light, as solid as substance, flickered on his hands, causing the surrounding space to crackle.
Li Xuan's pupils constricted sharply. Zu Letian's strength was astonishingly powerful. His spiritual light alone could pierce through space.
However, even so, Li Xuan was not to be outdone. With a thought, the defenses of his Chaos Body were fully activated. He then clenched his left hand and threw a punch.
*Boom!*
A palm met a fist, and both figures were forced back. The probing move resulted in an even draw.
Both of their expressions turned more serious, their gazes clashing like lightning. In an instant, they lunged at each other again.
*Bang bang bang!*
In just ten breaths, they had exchanged over a hundred blows. The terrifying residual energy forced even those in the chaotic battle below to retreat.
"The Xuan Sect is truly not simple, secretly cultivating a Holy Son. But it's a pity that today you have encountered me!" Zu Letian's expression grew increasingly stern as he looked at Li Xuan. With that, he clenched his five fingers into a fist.
"Martial Surge!"
Seeing this, Li Xuan's mind stirred. The physical strength of the Transcendent realm rapidly gathered and flowed entirely into his left arm.
"Unmatched Tyrant Fist!"
*Boom!*
The moment their fists collided, a deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth. The terrifying shockwave raged, instantly leveling two mountain peaks below.
The Holy Sect and Xuan Sect disciples battling in Luolong Valley were all pushed back thousands of meters.
"I never expected Junior Brother Li Xuan to possess such immense strength!"
Below, Zhu Juncai and others exchanged shocked glances. While Li Xuan and Zu Letian were fighting, the Xuan Sect and Holy Sect disciples below were also engaged in a fierce battle, showing no mercy in their attacks.
In just a few minutes, both sides' disciples were exhausted. Especially after enduring the residual power of Li Xuan and Zu Letian's battle, the surviving members of each side gathered together.
"Brother Zhu, the Holy Sect disciples are estimated to be around eight hundred remaining. Our Xuan Sect disciples have nearly three hundred severely injured. Furthermore, both sides have expended significant resources. If we continue to fight, it will likely be a mutual destruction," Shi Hongyi said to Zhu Juncai after counting the remaining forces.
"Let's call a temporary truce. I doubt the Holy Sect disciples dare to continue their offensive. Moreover, the battle between Junior Brother Li Xuan and that Zu Letian is too intense. If one is not careful, their residual power alone will be enough to overwhelm them."
"The outcome of this battle will likely have to be entrusted to Junior Brother Li Xuan. As long as Junior Brother Li Xuan wins, these Holy Sect disciples will not be able to escape." Zhu Juncai shook his head as he spoke.
"If Junior Brother Li Xuan loses to Zu Letian, then all of us..." Shi Hongyi's face showed worry.
"So, we can only place our hopes on Junior Brother Li Xuan now." Zhu Juncai gave a wry smile and looked up again at Li Xuan and Zu Letian in the air.
"It seems that the outcome of our battle will determine which sect's disciples survive. A beginner Dao Seeking realm cultivator possessing the combat power of a peak Dao Integration realm expert is indeed underestimating you. However, even so, all of you will die today!"
Zu Letian glanced at the crowd below, then his gaze returned to Li Xuan. The disciples on both sides now seemed to understand the importance of the outcome of Li Xuan and Zu Letian's fight. While closely watching, they were also secretly recuperating.
"To want to kill us all to hide the news, I'm afraid your strength alone is not enough!" Li Xuan snorted coldly, his aura immediately surging.
"Today, I will show you the true combat power of a peak Dao Integration realm expert!" Zu Letian showed no trace of fear upon hearing this. He let out a cold laugh, and his aura also surged to its peak.
Everyone watched with bated breath. Clearly, Li Xuan and Zu Letian were about to unleash their full power.
Victory or defeat, the fate of everyone rested on this!
Zu Letian quickly formed hand seals. Strange spiritual light coiled around his fingertips and instantly condensed into a petal shape.
The next moment, the petal between his fingers rose into the air.
"Wrath of Darkness!"
Zu Letian pointed into the air. The petal, shimmering with black and gold light, suddenly expanded to a size of three zhang.
In an instant, it arrived directly above Li Xuan's head.
As this petal appeared, the surrounding space shattered. Even the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to have thinned considerably.
Li Xuan's expression tensed. With a thought, his sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
"One Sword Breaks All Laws!"
