"Instructor Hua, I do not wish to be your enemy. If you retreat now, we shall remain on separate paths!"
Long Yi spoke, "If Instructor Hua insists on a fight to the death, I will also use my full strength!"
Long Yi's eyes held a sharp glint, and he drew the long sword from his back. A powerful aura permeated the entire valley, carrying boundless fighting intent. Even facing a Quasi-Emperor level expert, his heart held no fear.
This was because he was not fighting alone. Both Lu Fan and Lin Ke gave him immense confidence.
"Quite the bold words!"
Instructor Hua's voice was icy, "Leaving Cang Long Academy this time was to capture you. Do you think I will let you go?"
"Old hag, don't speak too soon!"
Lu Fan sneered coldly, "You must surely know that our combat strengths are not ordinary. If you wish to win, it may not be so easy!"
"Hahaha..."
Instructor Hua burst into laughter, filled with disdain, "With just the three of you, you expect me to retreat? Do you think Cang Long Academy is merely for show!"
In that instant, Instructor Hua produced the Magic Ancient Zither again. Waves of energy surged forth, seemingly endless. The entire mountainside began to crack and explode, a shocking sight.
This scene was beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, or rather, normal martial artists could not achieve such a feat. Yet, Instructor Hua had done it, and even surpassed it.
"You all be careful. His Magic Ancient Zither is quite formidable and contains supreme spiritual power!"
Long Yi warned, "An Emperor-level expert is no ordinary martial artist!"
At these words, Long Yi also frowned. Instructor Hua was already a Quasi-Emperor level expert, capable of transforming inner force into spiritual power. Such a terrifying aura was not comparable to ordinary Emperor realm experts.
"I will tie him down. You act according to the situation!"
After speaking, Lu Fan, using the Tian Xing Jue, rushed towards Instructor Hua. He knew very well that Instructor Hua's greatest strength was long-range attacks. Only by engaging in close combat might they have a chance.
"Presumptuous brat!"
Instructor Hua sneered coldly, continuously unleashing spiritual energy from the Magic Ancient Zither towards Lu Fan. In that sudden moment, the ground where Lu Fan passed exploded. If not for the extreme speed of the Tian Xing Jue, Lu Fan would likely be in mortal danger.
Lin Ke frowned, disregarding everything else, and launched a punch towards Instructor Hua. Lu Fan's life hung by a thread. If there was any slight misstep, he might perish on the spot. Now that Lin Ke possessed great strength, he absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.
Long Yi also pushed his sword intent to its limit, surging towards Instructor Hua. Quasi-Emperor level experts were terrifying. If the three of them were not peerless prodigies, they would have long since been defeated.
Sensing the sharp intent, Instructor Hua retreated rapidly, simultaneously controlling the Magic Ancient Zither. He stomped his foot, and an invisible spiritual energy emanated from him, carrying an overwhelming force, slamming into the three of them.
Boom...
A massive booming sound echoed. The three figures were violently repelled, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths. Their bodies trembled. The impact of the powerful spiritual energy was unbearable for them.
Instructor Hua also retreated. After unleashing that powerful strike, he had sustained minor internal injuries. He was surprised. As a Quasi-Emperor level expert, he was supreme among Battle Emperors. Yet, he had not expected the three of them to be able to injure him.
"Are you two alright?"
Long Yi steadied himself, his gaze becoming solemn. Through the previous exchange, they were certain of Instructor Hua's formidable strength, which instilled a sense of dread in them.
"We're fine!" Lin Ke waved his hand. "I'm tough and resilient now. He can't hurt me!"
"I truly did not expect the three of you, working together, to stalemate me!" Instructor Hua said with a cold face. "I underestimated you."
"Instructor Hua, why must you do this?"
Long Yi spoke, "A mutual destruction is not a good outcome. If you continue to attack, who knows if you will win or lose!"
"Stop trying to trick me!"
Instructor Hua said coldly, "As an instructor of Cang Long Academy, how can I give you three an opportunity!"
After speaking, Instructor Hua soared into the sky, intending to attack again. Lu Fan and the other two frowned. They knew very well that if they continued to fight, the three of them would not last much longer.
After all, a Quasi-Emperor level expert was not famous for nothing.
Boom boom boom...
Another series of clashes sounded. Lin Ke was violently repelled, seeming unable to cope. Although his strength was boundless, he ultimately lacked combat experience, making it difficult to reach the highest realm.
At this moment, Long Yi and Lu Fan were also somewhat exhausted. Fighting against an Emperor-level expert, they dared not be the slightest bit negligent.
Instructor Hua frowned. He had unleashed many moves, yet he had not expected them to be resisted. This was not a good sign for him.
Although he was a Quasi-Emperor level expert, the current situation was consuming a great deal of his energy. He was also at the end of his rope. If he were to engage in a head-on confrontation, he might not gain any advantage.
"Lu小子, we are here to help you!"
In that sudden moment, several aged voices rang out. The elders of the Dragon Kingdom appeared, their presence imposing and filled with supreme authority.
"Great Elder!"
Lu Fan's body trembled slightly. "Why are you here? This place is quite dangerous. You must not get involved lightly!"
"Lu小子 is in trouble, how can we stand by idly!"
The Seventh Elder spoke, "Rest assured, we are all seasoned veterans. With our numbers, what is there to fear from him!"
"That's right, let's attack together and suppress him!" the elders chimed in.
"Just you ants?"
Instructor Hua glanced at them with disdain. In his eyes, these people were no different from ants. He would not take them seriously.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are from an ancient sect!"
The Great Elder spoke, "According to regulations, you should not be here!"
"You are the Great Elder of the Dragon Kingdom?"
Instructor Hua glanced at him. "According to the rules of the major sects, I should not appear. But that only applies to the major sects. How can you control me?"
The Great Elder's face turned ashen. He understood the rules very well, but Instructor Hua was powerful. As long as he defied the rules, no one could stop him. Su Dan Novel Network
"The Dragon Kingdom has always been protected by us. The ancient sects have never contributed. You reside in the Dragon Kingdom, so you should be law-abiding!"
The Third Elder said coldly, "Even if we cannot deal with you, other ancient clans will certainly not stand idly by!"
"A bunch of ants dare to lecture me here!"
Instructor Hua's expression was indifferent. He raised his hand and unleashed energy from the Magic Ancient Zither again, carrying a monstrous force.
In that instant, the elders stepped forward one after another, not daring to delay, their eyes filled with apprehension.
