The old man, seeing that Su Xi and the others could withstand his attacks, was naturally unwilling to let them off easily.
So now, he continuously increased the input of his magical power. Daggers began to fall from the sky at an accelerated rate, cutting everything around them.
Everything in the Sutra Pavilion was instantly sliced into countless pieces.
However, the old man didn't care about any of this, constantly controlling the daggers to slice towards Su Xi and the others.
For him now, the most important thing wasn't the consumption of magical power, but to eliminate Su Xi and the others before him.
After all, if Su Xi and the others could resist his formation with just these two people, it would undoubtedly lead to greater trouble if they were allowed to grow stronger in the future.
Therefore, he naturally didn't want to court more trouble for himself.
Su Xi, watching the increasingly powerful formation, could only inwardly lament.
For her, escape was impossible now; she could only grit her teeth and bear it.
But she knew very well that such powerful attacks could not be sustained for long.
As long as they could endure it, they would have nothing to fear.
Thus, both sides held their ground, seeing who would break first.
Su Xi, seeing this, was unwilling to risk her life against him.
After all, the opponent was an old man whose life was already fading, someone who could die at any moment. To expend so much effort fighting him was a complete waste of time, and with a single misstep, she could be injured.
Any normal person could easily calculate the cost of such a confrontation.
It was precisely for this reason that Su Xi had already thought of a plan.
"Look, Teacher Cang," Su Xi suddenly shouted.
Hearing Su Xi's voice, the old man looked back in confusion.
Wasn't Teacher Cang supposed to be in Japan? How did he appear behind him? Could it be some kind of merchandise?
But behind him, there was only the Fatty, standing there with a shocked expression.
Looking at the Fatty's face, the old man knew he had been tricked.
Just as he was about to unleash his full power to deal with Su Xi, he suddenly found that Su Xi had disappeared.
Where had she gone?
The old man looked around the empty space, a look of disbelief on his face.
How was this possible?
Even if Su Xi had momentarily distracted him, she couldn't have left so easily. After all, they were still within his formation; how could they possibly leave?
Just as the old man was searching for Su Xi's figure, he suddenly saw a series of figures land in front of him.
At such close range and with such speed, he couldn't dodge.
Accompanied by these attacks, the old man only had time to let out a scream before being struck.
He thought he was dead and had already envisioned how he would die. But to his surprise, he was completely unharmed.
What was going on?
The old man looked himself over, trying to find out what had happened.
But after checking himself several times, he still found no issues. Not only was he uninjured, but his spirit and energy seemed to have improved considerably.
What was happening?
As he was pondering all this, he suddenly felt another figure land on him.
Similarly, as he clutched his chest and prepared to scream, he found that there was still no problem.
Then, a series of attacks landed on him again.
This time, just as he thought he was fine, he discovered a gaping hole in his chest.
The wound was as large as a bowl, and blood was continuously dripping from it.
How could this be?
The old man looked at the bloody hole in his chest and the pain throughout his body, finding it hard to believe.
This had all happened to him.
Everything was fine just moments ago, so how could such severe damage suddenly occur?
Su Xi and the others reappeared as they saw the old man injured.
Now that the old man was clearly beyond help, they had nothing more to worry about.
"You are truly amazing," the old man said, looking at Su Xi, wanting to utter some harsh words.
But in the end, he couldn't say anything more. Due to the severity of his injuries, he collapsed to the ground.
After dealing with the old man, Su Xi looked at the Fatty and asked, "Who exactly is this person?"
Someone this powerful was definitely not an unknown figure and must have had formidable skills.
By directly eliminating him, they might have inadvertently stirred up new trouble. Therefore, to resolve these potential issues, they needed to control all risks.
Hearing Su Xi's question, the Fatty replied, "This person is the Grand Elder of our Dragon Tiger Sect. His strength ranks among the top three."
The Fatty left the next sentence unspoken.
The Grand Elder, the Second Elder, and the Sect Master were siblings. If any one of them were harmed, the others would sense it.
Now that the Grand Elder was dead, the remaining two would certainly know the news. Regardless of what they did now, it would be of no use.
Although Su Xi was unaware of this situation, she knew instinctively that lingering here was not an option.
So she urged them to speed up their search to find the item sooner.
Fortune favors the persistent. After a period of searching, Su Xi and the others finally found their target.
They now understood that the reason their magical power was draining was because they hadn't learned the foundational techniques.
Only by mastering these basic techniques could they correctly comprehend magical power.
Since the root of the problem had been identified, everyone naturally began to cultivate according to the basic techniques.
The Fatty's eyes widened as he watched Su Xi and the others start practicing the fundamental techniques.
In such a perilous situation, they were all cultivating?
Were they kidding?
Su Xi and the others offered no explanation, focusing intently on their cultivation.
Only by quickly recovering their magical power could they escape this cursed place.
Although the Fatty was anxious, he knew he had no right to speak.
He was pondering when Su Xi would finish cultivating.
After all, it had taken him a full month to succeed when he first started cultivating. Even with Su Xi's outstanding abilities, she couldn't possibly finish so quickly, could she?
"Bang!"
Just as Su Xi and the others were at a crucial point in their cultivation, a powerful sound suddenly came from the doorway.
Immediately after, an old man with a white beard walked in.
"You've been hiding here, you've made me search far and wide."
The Second Elder looked at Su Xi and the others, his eyes gleaming.
Ever since he sensed his brother's death, he had been searching for the enemy's whereabouts. However, unexpected casualties within the Dragon Tiger Sect had caused delays.
Fortunately, he didn't care about the lives of others, his sole focus being to find the enemy. He had searched most places and finally found them.
Seeing the Second Elder appear, the Fatty's face turned nervous.
He was no match for these people alone.
"Second Elder, please listen to my explanation. There are extenuating circumstances. I did not harm the Grand Elder just now. All of this has nothing to do with me."
The Fatty, without hesitation, shifted all blame.
For him now, the most important thing was to stay alive.
Hearing the Fatty's words, the Second Elder remained silent, a smile playing on his lips. "Save those words for later."
With that, the Second Elder attacked.
Seeing the Second Elder charge at him, the Fatty's face turned pale.
He knew very well that his strength was far inferior, and facing the Second Elder's attack was futile.
However, even though he knew the Second Elder was powerful, he couldn't bring himself to surrender now.
The Fatty managed to hold out several times against the Second Elder before he could no longer sustain it, and was sent flying.
Looking at the Fatty lying on the ground, the Second Elder suddenly drew a long sword and swung it towards the Fatty.
For him, the most important thing was to eliminate the Fatty, this traitor, and then deal with the others.
As the Second Elder approached, the Fatty became increasingly tense.
He had exhausted all his tricks and was now powerless to resist.
"Die!"
The Second Elder raised his sword and aimed directly at the Fatty's chest.
With such speed, even at his peak, the Fatty couldn't have reacted, let alone when he was injured and even more incapable.
But just as the Fatty thought he was about to die, he suddenly felt a powerful light.
As the light appeared, the Second Elder's sword was sent flying.
???
This turn of events was too sudden; no one had anticipated it.
The Second Elder looked at Su Xi and the others and asked, "How did you do that?"
The distance was so great, and his own attack was incredibly fast. Yet Su Xi was able to react afterward, which was impossible.
Unless Su Xi's cultivation was hundreds of times higher than his, there would be no chance.
But even then, he didn't believe it.
Su Xi looked young, and even if she had cultivated from the womb, she couldn't have achieved this so easily.
Su Xi looked at the Second Elder and smiled, "Some things, you can't understand if you haven't experienced them yourself."
"You must understand that there is always someone stronger. You may be mediocre, but others are not."
Hearing Su Xi's lecture, the Second Elder sneered.
He thought she was just taking advantage of his momentary lapse to disarm him, and now she was lecturing him. What was she thinking?
The Second Elder had no intention of continuing the conversation and charged directly at Su Xi.
He was determined to prove with his strength that only the victor had the right to speak.
The losers should simply wait to become a pile of bones.
Su Xi, seeing the Second Elder charge at her, let out a cold laugh.
It had been a while since she had fought at full strength. Now, she would let the Second Elder experience her power.
