As Li Qi spoke, the cultivators who had not handed over half of their Dao Fall fragments for protection suddenly revealed a faint, triumphant smile.
They exchanged glances, then turned their gaze back to Li Qi.
"Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured about what you said. We will absolutely be careful."
Conversely, because of the smiles on these people's faces.
Fang Ying and Wang Yangfeng's faces had completely darkened.
At this moment, both of them felt like they had a mouthful of shit stuck in their throats, unable to swallow or spit it out.
It was too uncomfortable.
Since they could also do this, why would they, two fools, hand over their Dao Fall fragments!
A loss, a loss!
But at this moment, it was impossible for them to get back the Dao Fall fragments they had given to Li Qi.
After all, the current situation was clearly not suitable.
As for Li Qi, he no longer paid attention to those who wanted to get something for nothing.
His gaze shifted slightly, looking towards the phantom army that was charging towards them.
Li Qi's eyes turned cold, but there was no panic or fear.
The others also calmed their minds upon seeing this and looked towards Li Qi, intending to see what he would do next.
If Li Qi truly had the ability to resolve it, that would be for the best. If not, they would naturally not stay by Li Qi's side as they had just said.
Although they were completely sealed within this barrier, being able to escape and survive for a little longer was naturally better.
And at this moment, in this starry sky, the phantom footsteps grew closer and closer.
"Thump, thump, thump, thump."
At some point, a mighty general, wielding a long saber and exuding an imposing aura, had already appeared in front of Li Qi, the person closest to them.
The long saber was raised high, and a chilling killing intent erupted.
Even the space in front of the saber seemed to be torn open with cracks.
"Kill!"
A powerful voice filled with killing intent rang out and descended directly towards Li Qi's head.
Although the power displayed by the saber-wielding general was less than one-thousandth of that in the phantom image.
To Fang Ying, Wang Yangfeng, and the others, it was already terrifying.
If they were to withstand this saber strike head-on, they might have to pay a considerable price.
"Fellow Daoist!"
Instinctively, Wang Yangfeng and Fang Ying cast their last hopeful glances towards Li Qi. At this moment, all they could do was trust Li Qi.
After all, if it were them facing this saber-wielding general head-on, they might not even gain the upper hand, let alone the fact that there were nine such terrifying figures, and the even more terrifying guardian behind them.
"No need to say more."
Li Qi paid no mind to the reminders from Wang Yangfeng and Fang Ying.
However, the almost exploding volcano in his eyes already proved his excitement at this moment.
He could also use this opportunity to test how strong his true combat power was when fully unleashed.
"Extreme Burn Secret Art!" "Inverse Chaos Eight Strikes!"
Li Qi moved his mind!
In an instant, both secret arts were activated to their peak. The recovery power he possessed was also circulated to one hundred percent at this moment.
It was only because Li Qi was intentionally concealing his figure that Wang Yangfeng and the others might not have seen his outwardly depleted appearance beneath the concealment.
But in return, Li Qi now possessed an endless stream of terrifying power within him.
"Clang!"
As his palm met the blade of the saber, a sound of metal clashing actually rang out.
Wang Yangfeng and the others stared intently at the clash between Li Qi and the saber-wielding general.
At this moment, Li Qi was actually using his bare palms to prevent the descending saber from advancing even an inch.
"Hiss!"
Seeing this, Wang Yangfeng and the others were slightly shocked. With this display alone, in a one-on-one fight, Li Qi was likely no weaker than any of them present.
But soon, Wang Yangfeng and Fang Ying's hearts sank.
Although Li Qi's move was astonishing, it was still not enough.
If he couldn't even crush this phantom general, how would he deal with the nine phantom generals and the guardian behind them later?
At this moment, Wang Yangfeng and Fang Ying even truly regretted it. They shouldn't have believed Li Qi's promises to save them.
But in the next moment.
Everything changed.
"Boom!"
An incredibly terrifying shockwave erupted from Li Qi's body.
At this moment, Wang Yangfeng and Fang Ying, the two closest to Li Qi, their pupils contracted. They even felt their breathing become heavy.
With incredulous gazes, they stared intently at Li Qi.
They could clearly feel that Li Qi's already extraordinary aura had instantly become countless times more terrifying.
Immediately after, they saw Li Qi throw a punch.
In an instant, everything changed.
As the punch passed, the saber-wielding general's body instantly exploded. Simultaneously exploding into nothingness were the armored soldiers following the saber-wielding general, preparing to attack.
But the power of this punch was not yet exhausted.
The momentum of the punch continued to surge outward.
"Peng peng peng peng peng!"
Wherever the fist strength passed, everything was completely crushed into powder and turned into nothingness.
Rumble, rumble.
At this moment.
Even the surrounding isolation barrier, which Wang Yangfeng's full strength couldn't leave the slightest ripple on, began to tremble violently, as if it was about to break.
"This, this..."
Although they had only held a slight advantage before, Li Qi's instant strike had turned everything in front of them into powder.
This sudden contrast stunned even Fang Ying and Wang Yangfeng.
Although the saber-wielding general was just a phantom, he possessed the combat power of the eighth level of Tribulation Transcension. Yet, at this moment, he was annihilated without even causing a stir.
Was this his true power? Fang Ying and Wang Yangfeng secretly thought, becoming even more curious about this mysterious figure, Li Qi, who had been hiding his identity.
But Li Qi paid no mind to what they were thinking.
His previous punch that killed the saber-wielding general seemed to have enraged the other eight generals who emerged from the phantom.
At this moment, the attention of each of these generals was focused on Li Qi.
Their terrifying auras erupted, some drawing their bows, others wielding long spears and charging forward, instantly surrounding Li Qi.
In the same instant.
The killing intent of the eight generals erupted together.
Arrows shot from bows, long spears pierced straight, tearing through the void.
Li Qi's figure was completely engulfed in the center of all these attacks, with no way to avoid them.
But Li Qi paid no mind to the killing intent surrounding him.
One force to break ten thousand methods.
He raised his hand, clenched his fist.
"Boom!"
Crushing and overwhelming, everything completely collapsed at this moment.
