"That jerk is hiding in the warehouse!"
A group of five weathered elders swiftly responded to the urgent information they received. Word had spread that the fourth elder had called for reinforcements, prompting them to converge on the warehouse. As they entered the dimly lit space, wisps of purple mist curled and swirled, lending an eerie atmosphere to the scene. Amidst the haze, one of the elders spoke up with a mix of determination and exasperation, "So, there you are..."
Liang Wei, momentarily pausing his attack on the fourth elder, turned his gaze towards the voice's source. It was none other than the seventh elder, the very same one he had injured and narrowly escaped from before ensuring Wang Chen and Su Ling's safety.
A smug smirk crept across Liang Wei's face as he observed the seventh elder clenching his teeth, brimming with anger at Liang Wei's taunting words. "Well, well! Have those old bones of yours healed already?" he sneered, reveling in the elder's visible frustration.
The seventh elder shot back with a fiery retort, his voice dripping with determination, "You got lucky last time because I let my guard down. But mark my words, this time you won't be so fortunate. I'll make sure your head rolls!" Casting a meaningful glance at his companions, he silently signaled them to join the fray, to give Liang Wei no quarter.
Meanwhile the fourth elder heaved a sigh of relief as the reinforcements arrived just in the nick of time. His life had been hanging by a thread, with Liang Wei's relentless assault pushing him to the brink of defeat. Stepping back from the fray, he watched as the five elders closed in on Liang Wei, forming a tight circle around him.
Earlier, Liang Wei's battle against the four elders only two of them had managed to survive the fierce encounter. They bore the marks of their struggle, visibly injured and fatigued. But now the fourth elder had believed that Liang Wei's demise was imminent. After all, how long could he possibly hold his ground against the combined might of five seasoned elders after fighting against the four elders?
Little did the fourth elder know, his assumptions were far from the truth. Unbeknownst to him, Liang Wei had not only absorbed their life essence, but had also harnessed its power to replenish his own strength. Rather than succumbing to exhaustion, Liang Wei stood at the peak of his abilities, Fearless and resolute. He could have run away before the reinforcement arrived but he stayed to carry out his plan and to deal with the situation as soon as possible.
The battle erupted with a resounding clash as the seventh Elder, seething with rage, launched a relentless assault on Liang Wei. The air crackled with anticipation as the remaining four elders, fueled by a shared determination, joined the fray, their combined attacks aimed at overpowering their elusive adversary.
Liang Wei, agile and swift, moved with an otherworldly grace, evading the onslaught of strikes directed towards him. Each movement was executed with precise timing, his body weaving seamlessly through the chaos of combat. His senses heightened, he anticipated every attack, his instincts honed through countless battles.
Amidst the flurry of blows and counterattacks, the seventh Elder grew increasingly frustrated by Liang Wei's elusive nature. He sneered, his voice dripping with contempt, "Are you nothing more than a mouse, scurrying and dodging? Cowardice runs through your veins, Liang Wei. If you possess an ounce of courage, face our assaults head-on!"
Liang Wei, his voice laced with determination, retorted while expertly sidestepping another incoming strike, "And yet, it is you who resorts to ganging up on me, unable to face me alone."
Liang Wei's movements were a mesmerizing dance, his body an extension of his indomitable will. Each dodge, parry, and counterstrike showcased his mastery of martial arts and his profound understanding of the flow of combat.
Meanwhile, the other four elders, undeterred by Liang Wei's nimble maneuvers, pressed forward with unwavering resolve. Their attacks came from all directions, a relentless barrage that sought to overwhelm their foe. Blades whirled, elemental forces surged, and the very fabric of reality seemed to tremble under the strain of their clash.
Minutes turned into hours as the intense battle reached a stalemate. Neither side could claim victory, their skills and powers evenly matched. Fatigue began to take its toll on both the elders and Liang Wei, yet none showed signs of surrender.
"It's time to end this." Liang Wei muttered in a carefree tone but the reaction from the elders hearing this wasn't carefree but grave and serious.
In the beginning they underestimated Liang Wei and because of that they suffered some losses and learned their lesson so hearing Liang Wei's words they knew he would likely use some of his hole cards to deal with them.
They looked at each other and nodded their heads, understanding the meaning behind the silence. And all the elders made a formation which was from closing all the sides of Liang Wei and they planned that they could stop Liang Wei from using his hole cards and will deal with him.
Liang Wei seeing their movements wasn't worried at all, instead he was happy that they did it.
"Now it's your time demusa."Liang Wei whispered and the dagger in his hand started to shine and the purple miasma started slipping out of him and just like before his eyes turned purple but this time the effect was much stronger as the environment was full of coldness.
Sensing the coldness and death-like feeling which came from all the elders' hearts made them fear and the swords and blades in their hands started trembling. They were terrified but still they stood up there thinking they could block it.
Unknowingly the purple miasma had already covered the ground and it couldn't be seen with eyes. It was slowly rising and going out of the warehouse and started covering it from outside.
"He is coming!" Fourth elder shouted as he saw Wang Chen disappearing from his spot and he assumed that just like previously he would attack sneakily so he warned them beforehand even though he was the most scared one here because he didn't have much strength to fight and he previously escaped death by just an inch.
For a moment they didn't see any moment and their heart was pounding crazily because of the fear of suddenly their head rolling but contrary to that it didn't happen.
"Did he run away?" One of the elders blurted out.
Other elders were thinking the same but still didn't let their guard down.
"I am still here!"
!!
Just from a single sentence all their doubts cleared up about Liang Wei running away. But still they couldn't find out from which direction Liang Wei spoke.
"Where are you bastard? Show yourself if you have the guts!" The Seventh Elder roared as he was full of Liang Wei's trickery and just wanted to finish Liang Wei as soon as possible.
"Okay."
Saying this Liang Wei suddenly appeared in front of Fourth Elder instead behind him and attacked him with a powerful kick.
"Shii…" Fourth Elder sent flying and collided with the warehouse wall and it broke and he flew out of the warehouse.
Liang Wei didn't waste time and also went after fourth elder, seeing this seventh Elder ran after Liang Wei and all the elder followed the suite and ran after Liang Wei as they know if Liang Wei was taking out Fourth Elder first that means he was the most dangerous one and currently the weakest one as well and this could be the best chance as well to get rid of the Fourth Elder and after that he would deal with them so they made an immediate plan to save fourth elder or it could be quite disadvantageous for them.
But as soon as they came out they only saw the surrounding covered with purple miasma and it was so dense compared to inside of warehouse and they could only see in there one metre area, they also tried to use divine sense but they were shocked as it seemed like there divine sense didn't work at all.
Suddenly they heard Seventh Elder shouting loudly and moved in that direction but they couldn't pinpoint the exact location of Seventh Elder because of the weird purple miasma blocking their vision and divine sense.
