Chapter 382: The Gray-Robed Elder! “A Mere Third Realm!?” Cultivators Gather in Wei City! The Dragon’s Tail Strike!
“What... what is that?” Lady Yun stared wide-eyed at the strange, writhing black mist, utterly shocked. Meanwhile, the innkeeper beside her frowned slightly, her gaze turning cold.
That dark fog was far too sinister, and more importantly, the blazing crimson light just now was identical to the one that had helped Madam Bai shatter the Southern Vermilion Bird Fire Virtue Formation earlier!
“A third-realm Yang Spirit, forced into such a miserable state by a junior? What a cosmic joke.” A gray-robed elder stepped out of the black mist, a cruel smile curling at his lips.
“Fellow Daoist, save me!” Madam Bai’s voice was soft and sweet, dripping with charm and desperate appeal.
The gray-robed elder gave a low, derisive laugh, his eyes turning dark and cold as he looked toward Li Yanchu. “This woman is under my protection. You may get lost now.”
As he spoke, his aura surged out in a violent wave, and cold yin qi billowed up to the heavens! His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried in every direction, as though countless unseen figures whispered the same words from all around. It shook the heart and rattled the soul! That aura was immense, crushing, and domineering, so powerful it was shocking to behold!
He was a Yang Spirit cultivator, even stronger than Madam Bai had been after she’d broken her seal!
Madam Bai had only been at the rudimentary third realm and not even at her peak. After being sealed by a Daoist master for half a century, her magical power had run dry, her strength greatly diminished. She’d been little more than a flickering candle, a bit stronger than the thousand-year flood dragon of Jinguang Temple, perhaps, but not by much.
This gray-robed elder, however, his aura was overwhelmingly fierce, his strength solid and unrestrained. He too was in the rudimentary Yang Spirit Realm, but his power was vastly superior. If two of Madam Bai in her prime joined hands, they still wouldn’t be his match!
A third-realm Yang Spirit master at his peak, he had every confidence he could crush this young Daoist, and he didn’t even consider it necessary to go all out. He merely needed to take Madam Bai away; there was no need for needless slaughter.
But, Li Yanchu merely sneered, “A nobody like you dare show off?”
He didn’t give the gray-robed elder even the slightest face. Pretending to be some mysterious puppet master behind the scenes? Cut the crap!
