Zhang Ergou watched the actions of these unknown disciples of the Liuhai Sect coldly.
He did not speak.
"Quickly bring the blood bat over, what are you still愣着干什么?"
Seeing that Liu Yue and the others did not move, the leading disciple of the Liuhai Sect immediately changed his expression.
"Li Kuai, you are going too far."
Liu Yue stared intently at the leading disciple of the Liuhai Sect.
As if he wanted to devour him alive.
"I don't like your look very much." Li Kuai frowned and walked up to Liu Yue.
He raised his hand as if to slap Liu Yue.
Liu Yue closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate. Even though his strength was slightly superior to the other party,
Li Kuai had the protection of the Liuhai Sect.
He did not, and he had more than a dozen demon-slaying squad members and his family behind him.
He couldn't afford to offend them, so Liu Yue chose to submit.
"Big Brother!" The members of the Chi Huo Demon-Slaying Squad exclaimed in unison.
As Li Kuai's palm was about to fall, tears of humiliation appeared on everyone's faces.
Why, why were these disciples from the great sects so rude?
"Slap!"
The crisp sound of a slap was exceptionally jarring.
Liu Yue's slightly dark cheek swelled visibly.
The members of the Chi Huo Demon-Slaying Squad glared at Li Kuai with anger and unwillingness.
Liu Yaxuan even started crying sadly.
Zhang Ergou, like an onlooker, continued to watch everything that was happening with a cold gaze.
He did not intervene even when Li Kuai slapped Liu Yue.
He and Liu Yue were just strangers who met by chance. Sudan Novel Network.
Although there were some grudges between him and the Liuhai Sect.
If Liu Yue had been a little tougher just now, perhaps Zhang Ergou would not have watched coldly.
Ever since entering the cultivation world,
Zhang Ergou had understood that cultivation was primarily about cultivating the heart.
If one did not have a firm, unyielding, and fearless mindset towards the strong and powerful,
then the realms they could reach in the future would naturally be limited.
In Zhang Ergou's opinion, Liu Yue's choice was not wrong, perhaps it was due to his many concerns.
However, Zhang Ergou did not agree with Liu Yue's choice.
If one didn't even have the spirit to resist, what was the point of living for a moment?
"Move aside."
After slapping Liu Yue, Li Kuai wanted to get past him to retrieve the blood bat on the ground.
However, this time Liu Yue did not move at all. His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Li Kuai intently.
"I said move aside."
Li Kuai reached out to push Liu Yue aside.
But Liu Yue was like a stone pillar, unmovable no matter how hard he tried.
Suddenly, the members of the Chi Huo Demon-Slaying Squad stood behind Liu Yue.
Each of them glared at Li Kuai and his group with anger.
"What, are you going to oppose the Liuhai Sect?"
Li Kuai frowned and finally used the name of the Liuhai Sect to intimidate them.
The scene of them scattering as he had expected did not appear.
"Good, good, good. Since you want to court death, then don't blame us."
Saying that, Li Kuai winked at the few fellow disciples behind him.
Although his cultivation and strength were slightly inferior to Liu Yue,
their team was entirely composed of cultivators at the Golden Core mid-stage.
They could first deal with those at the Golden Core early-stage, and then the few of them could gang up on Liu Yue.
The others understood and flashed forward.
The battle was about to break out.
"Oh, what, is the Liuhai Sect very powerful?"
Just as both sides were at each other's throats, a lazy voice suddenly sounded.
"Who are you?"
Li Kuai then noticed a stranger in the Chi Huo Demon-Slaying Squad.
But he didn't take him seriously.
Because Zhang Ergou was terrifyingly young, no matter how powerful he was, he would only be at the Golden Core early-stage.
So when he saw that it was Zhang Ergou who spoke, Li Kuai didn't react much.
He just glanced at Zhang Ergou with a little impatience.
"Brother Ergou, this is our business between us, you..."
Liu Yue did not want Zhang Ergou to be involved.
Zhang Ergou didn't know how to describe this somewhat honest and kind-hearted man at the moment.
"Brother Liu, since I have temporarily joined the Chi Huo Demon-Slaying Squad, I am one of its members."
"Naturally, I will share honor and disgrace with the entire team."
Zhang Ergou's calm words almost moved the members of the Chi Huo Demon-Slaying Squad to tears.
Look at this. They are all people from great sects.
How can the gap be so big?
Liu Yue and the others looked at Li Kuai and the others with even more disgust.
"Brother Ergou, you shouldn't have gotten involved."
What else could Liu Yue say besides being moved?
"Brother Liu, my master once taught me that on the path of cultivation, one must have an unyielding heart."
"If someone blocks me, I will cut them down."
"If the earth blocks me, I will cleave it."
"If heaven blocks me, I will break it."
Zhang Ergou's faint words were like a heavy hammer striking Liu Yue's heart.
Liu Yue stared blankly at Zhang Ergou, and in his eyes, Zhang Ergou's figure seemed infinitely tall.
Gradually, Liu Yue felt a realization, and an unyielding will surged into his heart.
The cultivation technique within his body began to circulate automatically, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather towards him.
This was a sign of breaking through.
Zhang Ergou glanced at him with admiration, clearly his words were not in vain.
"Arrogant talk."
Seeing Zhang Ergou and Liu Yue as if no one else was present, treating them as nothing.
Li Kuai was enraged.
And Zhang Ergou's few short sentences made him feel a trace of fear.
He hated this feeling.
"Where did this wild brat come from, daring to be so disrespectful to heaven and earth? Today, we will eliminate you on behalf of heaven and earth."
As soon as the words fell, Li Kuai wielded his long sword and slashed towards Zhang Ergou.
In an instant, dust flew everywhere, and sharp sword energy transformed into a blue dragon, flying towards Zhang Ergou's body.
"You all protect Brother Liu, leave these people to me."
Zhang Ergou left a sentence and calmly stood up.
What others saw as a sharp attack, to the current Zhang Ergou, seemed incredibly slow.
With a gentle grasp, the ferocious blue dragon shadow, as if it had lost its life,
instantly dissipated into thin air.
Li Kuai and the others were greatly alarmed, not expecting Zhang Ergou to be so powerful.
Seeing that Zhang Ergou had so easily resolved Li Kuai's attack, the others
immediately flashed forward and surrounded Zhang Ergou.
Clearly, they could see that Li Kuai alone could not deal with Zhang Ergou.
Just by his gentle grasp, he had dissolved Li Kuai's sharp sword energy.
No one present could do that.
Li Kuai was the one with the highest cultivation among them.
If Li Kuai were to be injured, they would not fare well when they returned to the sect.
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask which sect you are a disciple of? Perhaps you have some connection with our Liuhai Sect. Don't let a misunderstanding cause trouble."
Seeing that Zhang Ergou's cultivation was profound, Li Kuai did not attack again.
Instead, he began to inquire about Zhang Ergou's identity.
If Zhang Ergou were truly a disciple of a great sect, and if he were to die under their siege,
then if Zhang Ergou's sect came seeking revenge, it would not be good news for the Liuhai Sect.
Li Kuai had not ruled out killing them to silence them.
However, great sects had special means, especially for specially cultivated disciples, who carried a trace of divine sense from a powerful figure in the sect.
Li Kuai did not want to bring trouble upon himself.
