Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2266 - 1602: Adventure

The crowd then remembered that besides their own battlefield, there was another one, and it was even more crucial!

”Can the Sect Leader really be a match for those two Profound Immortals?” another disciple asked worriedly.

Li Qiankun didn’t know either, but recalling the confident demeanor of the Sect Leader, and considering the need to boost everyone’s morale, he feigned composure and said, ”Of course! With the Sect Leader’s abilities, those two are definitely no match!”

The disciples seemed to genuinely believe his words, and a slight smile emerged on their stiff, worried faces.

However, the battle on Li Zhirui’s side was not as smooth as they imagined.

His strength could completely suppress Lu Wanli, if he only had to face him alone, then by now he would have dealt severe damage to his opponent, if not captured him directly.

At this stage, it shouldn’t take long to kill him.

But unfortunately, besides him, there was a very peculiar Zhang Daoyan!

As a result, Li Zhirui had to split his focus to monitor Zhang Daoyan’s every move while battling Lu Wanli, or risk falling into a predicament!

Because not long ago, due to a momentary lapse, he almost got injured when Zhang Daoyan seized an opportunity.

As a result, both parties were still entangled, unable to defeat one another.

As for the eight forces allied attack on the Tongtian Sect being countered and completely collapsing in flight, they knew but didn’t care at all.

Neither Li Zhirui, nor Lu Wanli, nor Zhang Daoyan viewed these Heavenly Immortals as anything but slightly larger ants.

And who would care about the life and death of ants?

’Damn it! How is this person’s strength so formidable?!’

Being confronted with Li Zhirui head-on, Lu Wanli endured the immense power of his opponent, and so he was well aware that without Zhang Daoyan’s help, his outcome would be extremely grim!

Considering such a scenario, a feeling of retreat emerged in his heart.

But in the next moment, he became resolute again; if he couldn’t defeat the opponent even against two people, then he’d utterly disgrace his cultivation.

Yet in the next instant, shock and disbelief appeared on Lu Wanli’s face.

”Why?!” he turned around with difficulty, filled with resentment and anger as he questioned.

His previously unscathed body now bore a critical three-inch wound!

If it hadn’t been for his Spirit Sense frantically alerting him just now, causing him to instinctively activate a lifesaving Defensive Talisman, he likely would have suffered fatal injuries.

Though the wound was no longer spurting blood madly, his complexion had turned extremely pale, almost translucent.

Lu Wanli ended up in such a state because Zhang Daoyan, who was supposed to be helping him, suddenly attacked him from behind!

”Fine, fine! I will remember this debt, today’s matter, I won’t dare forget, we’ll have lengthy days ahead.”

After gritting his teeth and finishing speaking, he intended to flee.

Given his severe injuries, if he didn’t escape now, he’d be destined to remain here forever.

Yet at that moment, Li Zhirui, who had been watching him closely, acted without hesitation, growing countless vines out of thin air to block all escape routes for Lu Wanli.

At that moment, he understood everything with a grim face, and shouted angrily, ”Damn it! When did you two join forces?!”

No one answered his question aloud, but their attacks simultaneously increased in power.

Actually, Li Zhirui and Zhang Daoyan’s alliance came about because the latter proactively contacted him.

The reason was simple, teaming up with Lu Wanli appeared ineffective in defeating Li Zhirui, let alone taking his life.

But joining forces with Li Zhirui allowed them to easily resolve Lu Wanli.

Between these two options, it was clear which was more beneficial to him.

Indeed, from Zhang Daoyan’s previous choices, it wasn’t difficult to see he aimed to cooperate with Lu Wanli to eliminate Li Zhirui, then turn on his ally from a moment earlier.

Being the main combatant, Lu Wanli consumed more Mana and was more likely to get injured in battle, further weakening his strength.

Thus, by then, he would likely not be a match for Zhang Daoyan.

Perhaps just after they jointly dealt with Li Zhirui, he would launch a surprise attack from the rear.

Given Zhang Daoyan’s history of betrayal, Li Zhirui didn’t completely trust him, seemingly attacking with full force but privately reserving strength to guard against unforeseen circumstances.

Under their fierce attacks, the already injured Lu Wanli grew even weaker, teetering on the edge, as if a strong breeze could blow him away.

Yet neither showed mercy, rather, their attacks intensified, seemingly ready to kill him in the next moment.

”Cough, cough, cough...”

Lu Wanli was frighteningly pale, resembling a ghost, his voice filled with resentment and fury as he rasped, ”This debt, I will inscribe in my heart, never forgetting it in this life! I will repay a hundredfold, a thousandfold in the future!”

Hearing him speak, they both realized something was amiss, though they didn’t know what else he could do, they decisively took steps to stop him.

Unfortunately, they were still a step too slow!

He activated an extremely mysterious talisman, vanishing into thin air in the next instant.
