Chapter 1124 - Panwu Divine Art
Several figures stood silently at the altar's base. They didn't enter the battle and watched from a distance.
"Senior Brother Qiao, what should we do? Should we charge in and fight for the altar's treasures, or...?" one of the Dragon Emperor Academy disciples asked hesitantly. Many already knew of Qiao Bian's bond with Liu Wuxie and feared that interfering would perhaps only burden him further.
"I've decided to help Brother Liu," Qiao Bian said firmly. "You all can decide for yourselves. I won't force any of you. But if you choose to fight for the treasures, stay clear of the area I'm protecting."
With that, he vanished. He still regretted missing the chance to help Liu Wuxie before—a mistake that nearly cost Liu Wuxie's life. He wouldn't make that mistake again. If their roles were reversed, Liu Wuxie would make the same choice.
Meanwhile, Bai Wensheng and Ji Yuzhen closed in on Liu Wuxie, trapping him between them. Death loomed over him as he fought to stay upright.
Ji Yuzhen struck with deadly intent, his combat power surpassing even Bai Wensheng's.
A venomous sword aura sliced through space toward Liu Wuxie, while two Heaven Profound Realm cultivators attempted a sneak attack from the flanks.
Other cultivators ignored Liu Wuxie entirely and rushed toward the altar's entrance until Jiao Ba stopped them.
Liu Wuxie swept the Heretic Blade in a wide arc, blasting away his attackers.
"Break!" he shouted, parrying Bai Wensheng's strike with a sweeping slash. But Ji Yuzhen's attack slipped through his defense.
Everyone watching was stunned. Why didn't Liu Wuxie dodge Ji Yuzhen's attack? Had he given up?
Suddenly, a gray figure appeared in front of Liu Wuxie. With one palm, he shattered Ji Yuzhen's sword aura and swept the space clear.
