"No problem, regarding the vested interests, I believe all fellow Daoists are not foolish. Then let's not waste any more time and strike together."
The eight people had clearly defined their targets.
The next moment, their gazes all fell upon the guardian near the residual Heavenly Dao will.
If they were to face it individually, even including Li Qi in his normal state, all eight of them would feel a not-weak sense of crisis from this guardian.
But thankfully, this sense of crisis was not too intense.
The strength of this guardian might be greater than all of them combined.
But now, there were five cultivators at the eighth level of Tribulation, two at the peak of the seventh level of Tribulation, plus Li Qi.
When the eight of them joined forces, even a cultivator at the ninth level of Tribulation, or perhaps at the peak of Tribulation, would have to avoid their锋芒.
Let alone a guardian that seemed to only know how to protect the residual Heavenly Dao will, dealing with it would likely be even easier.
"Everyone, strike together."
As the words fell, in an instant, the auras of everyone present erupted.
This time, there was no longer mutual hostility.
As their auras intertwined, an even more terrifying sense of crisis seemed to be condensing, and ripples surged through the surrounding space.
As their auras surged and merged.
It seemed that the guardian, which had been standing quietly near the residual Heavenly Dao will, felt a hint of danger. A hazy aura began to manifest and diffuse around its body, clearly entering a state of combat readiness.
And the next moment.
Indeed, the individuals present did not go against their earlier promise to go all out. They did not hold back too much, although it was not yet the point of desperate combat.
The combat power they displayed all reached their normal fighting strength.
As their figures flickered, they appeared directly around the guardian from all directions.
Li Qi also took a position with a stern expression.
"Everyone, fight as you will, but be careful not to damage that residual Heavenly Dao will."
Fang Ying's voice rang out.
"Do you need to say that? If we destroy the Heavenly Dao will, what are we here for?"
The one who retorted was the gaunt and gloomy cultivator who had been injured earlier. He looked at the guardian with some hatred in his eyes.
He was the one who had suffered a setback just now, and now that there were more people, he naturally wanted to get revenge.
His gray spiritual power surged out, covering the sky.
In an instant, a vast expanse of gray appeared behind the gaunt cultivator, but within it, an incredibly terrifying sense of crisis was condensing.
It then surged towards the guardian.
As the gaunt cultivator made his move, the others did not hesitate.
They each used their own methods.
The black-robed, white-haired old man's expression became stern. The giant fierce beast sewn onto his black robe seemed to become more agile, and black energy surged out from the black-robed, white-haired old man.
In the blur beneath the black energy, one could vaguely see a ferocious claw reaching out from it.
At the same time, as the claw appeared, an incredibly sharp sensation emanated from it, capable of almost tearing through space.
Following that, the claw, which had emerged from the black energy, clawed fiercely at the guardian.
Along the way, the surrounding space was like tofu, being directly torn open and directed at the guardian.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The battle on the scene instantly turned white-hot.
And Li Qi did not just stand by and watch.
After some thought, the only thing he could activate that wouldn't overly drain his condition was the second punch of his Farmer's Three Punches.
After all, the second punch unleashed ten times the power, which could not be compared to ten Li Qis throwing a punch together.
With a tenfold amplification, Li Qi's current combat power could unleash a destructive force that even a peak cultivator of the seventh level of Tribulation could not match.
In this way, at least for now, when he wasn't planning to go all out, the people around him wouldn't say anything to him.
Moreover, the consumption of the second punch of Farmer's Three Punches was not too great for him now.
He could even use it as a normal punch.
The only drawback was that the punch before the second punch was only his normal strength.
With a thought, he clenched his fist.
"Boom! Boom!"
Li Qi directly threw two consecutive punches towards the guardian.
As expected, when Li Qi threw his first punch, the others, who were attacking the guardian while also paying attention to the strength of others' attacks, frowned slightly and wanted to speak.
But when Li Qi's second punch swiftly followed, and they felt the terrifying power within it.
The other cultivators who were about to speak immediately closed their mouths and continued to attack the guardian.
And indeed, with the eight people basically not holding back too much.
Even though the guardian's strength was extraordinary, it was now difficult for it to resist.
In less than half an hour.
The guardian, which was originally able to resist, had more and more wounds appearing, making it increasingly difficult to cope.
Even at this moment, the hazy aura covering the guardian's body was becoming weaker and weaker.
"Boom! Boom!"
Li Qi's Farmer's Second Punch once again erupted.
At this moment, the guardian was directly blasted away.
"Die for me."
The gaunt cultivator's eyes turned cold. Seizing the opportunity, he formed hand seals, and the vast gray spiritual power that obscured the sky and covered the earth condensed, transforming into a large hand.
Immediately, the hand clenched fiercely, and a terrifying pressure surged forth.
"Peng!"
At this moment, the guardian's body exploded with a roar.
Even at this moment, after a long period of bombardment, coupled with the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The hazy aura around the guardian completely vanished.
For a moment, all of them, including Li Qi, turned their gaze towards the guardian that had been blasted away. When they saw its true face, their pupils all constricted slightly.
They saw that the guardian's true face, whose hazy aura had dissipated around its body, was not some puppet or special technique.
A hollow skeleton, as flawless as white jade, without any flesh and blood, and having died an unknown long time ago, appeared before everyone's eyes.
