Chen Pao let out a low roar, a wave of energy erupting from his feet as he shot towards Dong Wen!
This time was different from all previous encounters. Even when enraged, his actions had always been rational, and his full-force attacks retained a trace of caution.
But now, his assault was utterly reckless, as if he were throwing his life away.
This stance, completely disregarding his own safety, caused Dong Wen's brow to furrow instantly.
If he continued to intercept Li Chonglou, this suicidal four-layer aura from behind would certainly create trouble for him!
If Li Chonglou were to launch a sudden attack then, even if he managed to kill the person behind him, he would likely perish here as well.
With this thought, Dong Wen decisively abandoned his engagement with Li Chonglou. With a swish, he abruptly turned, shifting his target to Chen Pao.
"Hmph, I'll deal with trash like you first! Teacher will handle the rest."
Dong Wen snorted coldly and turned to meet Chen Pao.
Because of this, Li Chonglou passed him by without any obstruction, instantly catching up to the retreating Qi Jing.
"You really think I'm afraid of you?"
Qi Jing roared in anger, only managing to turn back and throw a punch in a hurry.
In combat, morale and fighting spirit were paramount. Due to this string of reactions, Qi Jing was momentarily devoid of both, naturally falling into a disadvantageous position in terms of momentum.
Although Li Chonglou's strength was diminished, allowing him to exert only three layers of his power, his combat experience was no less than that of those at the six or seven-layer level. Furthermore, the killing intent he had accumulated was not something ordinary people could witness.
Killing intent, though intangible, could influence the mind once it reached a certain density. Coupled with Qi Jing's already wavering will to fight,
The situation became one where Qi Jing, at the peak of the sixth layer, was being chased and beaten by Li Chonglou, who only possessed three layers of strength!
While others found it unbelievable, Qi Jing, as the one experiencing it, felt a prickling sensation on his scalp.
"What's going on with this guy? How can every move target my vital spots!"
The more Qi Jing fought, the more alarmed he became. Initially, he attributed it to his mental state, but as his anger grew, he tried to counterattack.
He had even unleashed his aura twice, hoping to create some time to adjust his rhythm!
But it was all in vain!
Li Chonglou, with only three layers of strength, was like a combat machine, suppressing every surge of fighting spirit he managed to muster.
"Aren't you afraid my disciple will kill all your people!"
In his desperation, Qi Jing could only attempt to disrupt Li Chonglou's rhythm with words.
However, to his surprise, he was met only with a cold voice.
"Your disciple should be the one worried."
These words made the already severely disadvantaged Qi Jing falter, and he instinctively glanced towards Dong Wen.
What he saw made his jaw drop.
Dong Wen, who had clearly suppressed the four individuals just a minute ago, was now surrounded by them, like a trapped beast in a cage!
No, it should be five people, as Eagle Eye had also awoken at some point, and among the four surrounding Dong Wen in a formation, one was Chen Peiyue, who only possessed three layers of strength!
"Are you all crazy?"
Dong Wen's feelings were similar to Qi Jing's. Despite his strength giving him absolute dominance over the four, after engaging them, he realized their fighting style was utterly reckless!
Of the four surrounding him, at least two would always attack simultaneously, one in front and one behind. The one in front completely abandoned defense, focusing solely on his vital points!
Normally, dealing with such opponents was quite straightforward. After all, his strength was superior, and he could eliminate them with a small price.
However, the reality was that this was only the first; there was another opponent with an identical fighting style behind him!
Of course, by paying a slightly higher price, killing both of them was not difficult for Dong Wen.
What truly prevented him from showing any opening was not the four directly, but Eagle Eye, who had awakened at some unknown time!
And a covetous aura!
At this moment, Eagle Eye hid within the ruins of the factory destroyed by Qi Jing. Blood still stained his lips, but his eyes were exceptionally cold and calm. Through the magnifying glass of his long spear, he had locked onto Dong Wen's aura.
Li Chonglou had only spoken one sentence, but they all understood: today, they would either leave forever like a pack of stray dogs, or they would hold Dong Wen back!
Unsurprisingly, no one wished to be a stray dog. Moreover, Dong Wen and the other two had been aggressive from the start, completely disregarding them as human beings. How could they endure such disrespect?
And to achieve the latter, based on what had already transpired, their usual fighting methods were clearly insufficient.
Thus, the current situation had come to be.
This was also the first extraordinary display of tacit understanding among the five.
Without communication or warning, all five understood that the two individuals who charged at Dong Wen with attacks were doing so with the resolve to die!
This was because their true objective was no longer just to hold him back, but to kill him!
Yes, they would use two lives to force an opening from Dong Wen, and then let Eagle Eye from afar deliver the killing blow! Even if Eagle Eye couldn't do it alone, there was Xiao Bai, who was also cooperating with tacit understanding!
Even if Xiao Bai couldn't do it, there were the remaining two who had also made their resolve to die!
It could be said that all five of them and the beast were waiting for an opportunity. As long as Dong Wen showed the slightest opening, they would unleash their most frenzied attack!
It was precisely this suicidal fighting style that instantly crippled the once invincible Dong Wen, forcing him to switch from offense to defense, carefully parrying every attack from the four!
For Dong Wen, even if he fought to the bitter end, he was absolutely confident that he would be the one standing alive—this was the innate confidence born from his strength!
However, it could only guarantee his survival. No matter how fierce a tiger was, it could never emerge unscathed from the desperate onslaught of a pack of wolves.
And in Dong Wen's view, this was merely a simple mission. There was no deep-seated hatred among them. If it led to an accident on his otherwise bright cultivation path,
That would truly be a loss beyond measure!
Therefore, the final outcome was that Dong Wen was completely trapped, forced to carefully deal with every attack from the four, with no ability to counterattack!
It was only after realizing this that Qi Jing was astonished. While it seemed simple and logical, to actually achieve this, the four had to show no hesitation or fear!
This was not a fleeting thought; they had to maintain such a mindset with every single attack.
Achieving this was incredibly difficult!
Yet, in reality, Chen Pao and the others had actually done it. Five individuals, none of whom had reached the fifth layer, had managed to corner a genius at the peak of the fifth layer!
Upon reacting, Qi Jing faced even more ferocious attacks from Li Chonglou. After a moment of stunned silence, the pressure he endured instantly doubled!
