Chapter 369: Chapter 79: The Fight of Disparity_2
Xuan Yuan looked at the short warrior before him, a slight sneer appearing at the corners of his mouth. He slowly raised his right hand and, without making any apparent movements, a gentle-looking white light emerged from his palm and flew towards Yan Li. Yan Li was shocked, as battle aura was usually contained within weapons or fists and feet, exerting its powerful force in the form of an attack. Almost none could turn their battle aura into a weapon like Ah Dai could. He had only seen such a direct use of battle aura in Ah Dai’s Heaven and Earth Net. This kind of attack method consumed a considerable amount of a person’s own energy. With a loud roar, Yan Li swung his dual axes, bringing with them a raging yellow battle aura, towards the battle aura released by his opponent. The white battle aura appeared gentle, but when Yan Li’s axes typically unstoppable on any other day, struck it, he was surprised to feel as though he was chopping into a bundle of cotton, unable to find any point of resistance. His axes landed heavily on the ground, each creating a deep pit. By now, Yan Li was without any chance to dodge as the misty white battle aura had already drifted onto him. The gentle energy enveloped him, and Yan Li suddenly felt that he didn’t have any resistance left and his whole body seemed to have turned feeble.
With a wave of Xuan Yuan’s big sleeve, the white battle aura flashed and disappeared, and Yan Li’s sturdy body was flown out of the way.
The arrival of Xuan Yuan also roused Yan Shi, who quickly ceased meditating. He had seen all of the encounter between Yan Li and Xuan Yuan and he caught his brother in mid-air when he saw his brother being thrown. As Yan Shi came into contact with Yan Li’s body, his entire body startled, and he managed to stabilize himself after spinning thrice under the soft, spiraling Qi force.
Xuan Yuan, who hadn’t moved from his spot, said lightly: "Your foundation is not bad, but it’s a pity that your cultivation methods are crude and unorthodox."
Yan Li fell from his older brother’s grip, looking at the old man in front of him with unease. His fiery temper was unusually tame, and he didn’t dare to charge forward again. The elder in white brought him absolute shock. No one had ever defeated him so effortlessly before. He knew that if the white-clothed elder wanted to kill him, there were at least dozens of opportunities just now.
Yan Shi anxiously watched the old man in front of him, sneaking a glance behind at Ah Dai, who was still immersed in a deep meditative state, oblivious to the world outside. Yan Shi asked cautiously, "Sir, we don’t seem to have any quarrel with you. Why would you attack us?" The formidable strength the old man exhibited made his tone polite. At the same time, Yan Shi was on guard. He silently resolved that if this old man’s target was Ah Dai, he would have to step over his dead body.
The four Holy Judges landed behind Xuan Yuan, standing quietly. Although the strong aura they originally emitted had been reduced greatly, it still made Yan Shi and his brother feel somewhat intimidated. With an old man in white already so powerful, the arrival of four more elites made it clear that they were no match for these people.
Xuan Yuan arrogantly said: "I don’t need reasons to make a move. Don’t worry, I never take advantage of others when they are in danger. When will the kid behind you wake up?"
Yan Shi was puzzled, murmuring, "I don’t know." The old man of unknown origin brought immense pressure upon him, subconsciously drawing out his long knife and activating his internal battle aura as a countermeasure. Xuan Yuan suddenly raised his head, looking at the treehouse above and saying sternly, "Little girls, if you don’t stop your chanting, I won’t be polite."
It turned out that Zhuo Yun and Xing Er also woke up when Xuan Yuan arrived. The pressure this old man brought made them panic, and they quietly started chanting the Elf Clan’s spells, ready to assist Yan Shi and his brother at any time. They never thought that their actions would be exposed by Xuan Yuan’s keen sense of hearing. The glance of understanding from Xuan Yuan jolted their hearts. Left with no choice, Zhuo Yun floated down from the treehouse along with Xing Er and hid behind Yan Shi and his brother.
Xuan Yuan smiled slightly and took steps towards Ah Dai. Yan Shi gave his brother a light nudge with his shoulder and the two of them roared in unison, wielding their knife and axes, attacking Xuan Yuan from behind.
Xuan Yuan didn’t look back but continued walking towards Ah Dai. With a flash of golden light, two rays of golden light blocked the attack from Yan Shi and his brother. The two of them were shaken back by the overwhelming golden battle aura, stepping back four to five steps. Two golden-armored men stood in front of them. The two golden-armored men were the ones who actually took their attacks. A faint golden battle aura gleamed from their hands, making Yan Shi’s heart sank. He couldn’t even handle the men under this old man, let alone protect Ah Dai.
"You two better not attack." A deep voice came from behind Yan Shi and his brother. They looked back in surprise to find that Zhuo Yun and the Elf Princess were already under the control of the other two golden-armored men.
Yan Shi roared, "What the hell do you guys want? I’ll fight you!" He raised his long knife, instantly gathering all the battle aura in his body. In his anger and anxiety, Yan Shi fully tapped into his potential. The blade shone with a three-foot long battle aura. He became one with his weapon, suddenly slashing towards the golden-armored man in front of him. The golden-armored man showed a trace of surprise, took a step back, and, with a serious look, formed a pair of spiraling golden aura in front of him with his hands. With a low grunt, he met Yan Shi’s heavy blow with his swirling golden aura.
