Chapter 802: Captured Alive (II)
Even as he observed the pair closely, Li Xizhi noticed dozens of immortal lights approaching from the south. His heart quickened slightly, There are many immortals that are certainly coming. Aunt might not leave Mount Yan Pass, but perhaps my own family, or even the Yang Family, will arrive...
The Heavenly Glow in his hand shifted slightly as he thought. It didn’t attack the two cultivators, but instead soared upward through layers of clouds toward the dozens of approaching immortal lights.
However, this brief delay caused Li Quantao to instantly spat out blood. His strength was modest, since he was only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He relied entirely on the ancient dharma artifact in his possession.
Though the Water Wall Pearl could block most attacks due to its indestructible nature, the two devil cultivators before him were cunning. Their increasingly tricky spells caused Li Quantao to repeatedly cough up blood.
Now, Li Quantao didn't even have the mental capacity to pay attention to Li Xizhi’s actions. His spirits sank further as the foreboding sense of impending death gradually overcame him.
The Water Wall Pearl had enabled Li Encheng, at the early Foundation Establishment Realm, to evenly battle Chi Wei, a direct descendant of an immortal sect at the late Foundation Establishment Realm. Yet in Li Quantao’s hands, it was merely a defensive artifact. This disparity in mastery filled Li Quantao with bitterness, I truly fall short of my father in every aspect!
Li Xizhi saw no one arriving to assist them, so he reactivated his mana to face the enemy. But it only took a few exchanges for Li Quantao to be badly injured, forcing Li Xizhi to look toward Yu Yuwei for help.
However, his heart sank. Yu Yuwei had initially been fighting two alone, but he now faced yet another devil cultivator. The elderly man was overwhelmed and unable to offer assistance.
His face darkened, but he then heard Li Quantao’s faint, thread-like voice in his ear, “Brother Zhi! The Yu Family can’t be trusted. Yu Yuwei covets my artifact, so he’ll deliberately watch passively... He won’t help!”
