Chapter 235: Two hundred and thirty-five, smash!
The elder who had just appeared here was naturally Li Shan, who had guarded the Jade Pot Cave for many years. Just now, as he entered the fourth layer, he rushed over and saw several corpses of Inner Sect Disciples, feeling a constant dread in his heart.
In Li Shan’s view, even those Inner Sect Disciples in the Early Stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm could only flee to save their lives under the hands of that Strange Spirit, not to mention guaranteeing their survival, let alone Yun Xiao who was just at the Peak of the Meridian Gathering Realm.
Previously in Li Shan’s heart, he had already sentenced Yun Xiao to death, having absolute reason to believe that in the hands of a Fourth Rank Intermediate Strange Spirit, Yun Xiao had no chance of survival whatsoever.
But Li Shan, despite all his calculations and thoughts, never expected the situation before him—the one who was merely at the Peak of Meridian Gathering Realm, the youth who had just been taken as a Direct Disciple by the Sect Master, was actually battling with that Strange Spirit... in a brawl?
Yes, in Li Shan’s eyes, Yun Xiao and that Fourth Rank Intermediate Strange Spirit were indeed embroiled in a fight, and for a moment, he couldn’t even tell who had the upper hand.
It was precisely because of this shocking scene that Li Shan was momentarily frozen, just staring blankly at the fierce battle, not moving an inch.
As for the young man in green clothes beside Li Shan, he was naturally Yin Huan, who wanted Yun Xiao dead. Originally, like the elder, he believed he would only see a lifeless corpse of Yun Xiao here, or perhaps not even a complete corpse.
Compared to Li Shan, Yin Huan undoubtedly found the result before him even harder to accept. Why had that Fourth Rank Intermediate Strange Spirit, which could severely injure him—a Middle Stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm practitioner—with one strike, not killed Yun Xiao after so long?
No, this could not even be considered the Strange Spirit’s ability to kill Yun Xiao anymore. From Yin Huan’s perspective, it was clear that the combat situation was currently evenly matched, and perhaps in the end, the Strange Spirit might even be defeated.
Yin Huan was utterly perplexed. How could such a scene occur? Was this still the same Yun Xiao who nearly died at his hands? Was this still the same formidable Strange Spirit that once left him severely wounded with a single blow?
