Chapter 99 He's Back to Help

The demonic sect disciple fell to the ground, but he hadn't flown very high to begin with, only slightly higher than the wall. Falling from that height, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator or a Body Refinement cultivator could land unharmed.

But as he was falling, the iron ruler hanging from Li Gu's waist flew off his body, skimming the ground and flying silently.

The demonic sect disciple's attention was already drawn to the [Honeycomb Palm] and Zhang Yi's [Combined Edge Sword] in front of him. The continuous shock made him focus too much on what was in front of him, and he didn't notice the iron ruler flying close to the ground at all.

By the time he sensed a spiritual energy flying close to the ground, it was too late.

Li Gu's iron ruler bounced up from the ground and struck the demonic sect disciple from below. The disciple was falling and was practically delivered to the iron ruler.

In the blink of an eye, the demonic disciple only had time to circulate his spiritual energy to protect himself and withstand the attack.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the iron ruler struck the demonic sect disciple in the lower abdomen.

The demonic sect disciple had only recently reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but Li Gu was already at the second level of Foundation Establishment. After successfully establishing his foundation, he successively absorbed the cultivation of several other demonic sect disciples, all of whom were at the eighth level of Qi Refining. This provided him with a significant amount of cultivation. In addition, he took a Liuwei Dihuang Pill every night, which greatly accelerated his cultivation progress.

This sneak attack easily destroyed the demonic sect disciple's protective spiritual energy, penetrating straight into his internal organs. The demonic sect disciple groaned and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a while.

The Immortal Emperor couldn't help but laugh: This person's cultivation is higher than the opponent's, yet he still resorts to petty tricks, luring the enemy, and launching sneak attacks. He's incredibly cunning and wicked.

However, upon further reflection, she realized that given the strength Li Gu and Zhang Yi had just displayed, even if they didn't resort to such underhanded tactics and fought head-on, it would still take considerable effort and time to deal with this demonic sect disciple, even in a two-on-one situation. And the current situation didn't allow them to waste any more time.

Therefore, Li Gu's choice seems reasonable.

All's fair in war!

At this moment, Li Gu and Zhang Yi swiftly flew forward and seized the pulse points of the demonic sect disciple. Li Gu whispered, "Half for each of us?"

Zhang Yi shook his head: "My meridian expansion speed can't keep up with the increase in cultivation level at all. Junior Brother Li, if there's nothing wrong with your meridians, then you can absorb all of it."

Li Gu nodded: "Okay!"

He activated the [Common Path Demonic Codex], and in just a moment, he completely absorbed the demonic sect disciple. A large amount of cultivation surged into his Purple Mansion. This was the first time he had absorbed cultivation from a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and the amount of cultivation he gained was truly enormous. He felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, but it wasn't a big problem. He could take some meridian-expanding medicine that night and it would be fine.

After absorbing the cultivation essence, Li Gu casually sent the demonic sect disciple to the underworld with a single palm strike. Then he called to Zhang Yi, "Let's go back to the front."

Zhang Yi said in a low voice, "This time, I can't pretend to be a pig anymore."

Li Gu: "After playing the fool for so long, it's time to come clean."

The two simultaneously raised their iron rulers and flew towards the Six Doors.

At this moment, the battle on the Six Doors' side had already begun.

Although the Foundation Establishment stage marks the transition from the mundane to the true threshold of cultivation, the Golden Core has not yet been condensed, preventing the expansion of a large area. The physical body and spiritual energy reserves have upper limits, making it difficult to unleash large-scale Five Elements spells. One can only use magical artifacts, talismans, and other items for short- to medium-range offense and defense.

Therefore, the battles on the Six Doors' side mainly consisted of combat using magical weapons.

Cai Xinzi's waistband was flying everywhere, entangled with the flying swords of the demonic sect disciples.

Chiron then activated an iron ruler for defense.

The two were struggling against three Foundation Establishment cultivators. After exchanging blows several times, they were left with only defensive capabilities and no chance to retaliate.

Their only hope now lies with Hong Lin and Bai Dan at the front gate. They must hold out until the two of them defeat Hua Mingyuan and Mo Xuanye and return to help them.

But two against three sounds easy, but it's not so easy in practice.

Taking advantage of Kailong's unpreparedness, a disciple of the Demonic Sect used his flying sword to circle around to the side and launch a fierce attack on Kailong's flank.

Just as Chiron was about to be splattered with blood, he struck out to the side with his palm, and a golden dragon flew out from his palm, biting the flying sword and carrying it sideways a great distance away.

"Tsk! [Golden Dragon Palm], Iron-Toothed Golden Dragon's signature move?" The demonic sect disciple chuckled. "You've already revealed your ultimate move so quickly. It seems you've put in all your strength."

Kailong snorted coldly, and the golden dragon roared angrily, charging towards the demonic sect disciples with bared fangs and claws, its aura imposing.

This was the first time Cai Xinzi and Kailong had a chance to retaliate since they started fighting.

The demonic sect disciple sneered and unleashed the [Honeycomb Divine Palm], which suddenly conjured a giant palm of spiritual energy in front of him and struck the golden dragon on the forehead.

With a roar, the golden dragon forcefully shattered the giant palm and continued charging forward.

The demonic disciple couldn't help but let out a "Huh," but he was only curious, not afraid. The shattered giant hand transformed into several streams of spiritual energy, which then reformed in mid-air, becoming countless tiny hands, and once again slapped towards the golden dragon.

These tiny palm shadows, like thousands of swarming bees surging out from a rift in the void, coalesced into a churning dark cloud that surrounded the golden dragon, gnawing and stabbing at it from all sides.

The golden dragon's forward momentum stopped, and it tumbled and struggled in mid-air before being extinguished by the swarm of bees' palm shadows, turning into golden light and disappearing without a trace.

Kailong took a couple of deep breaths. His palm strike had consumed too much spiritual energy without achieving any effect, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

He turned to look at Cai Xinzi, who also happened to turn to look at him.

Both of them were thinking to themselves, "We can't hold on much longer, Lord Hong, please come and save us!"

Just then, the three demonic sect disciples who were besieging them suddenly turned their heads and looked towards the backyard.

Two figures flew in on their magical artifacts, leaving long trails of spiritual energy behind them. They were Li Gu and Zhang Yi.

Just now, the two of them were running on foot, panicking and running haphazardly, looking extremely disheveled. But now they've actually flown back, and the way they're standing on the iron ruler looks unusually calm, without the slightest sign of panic.

The three disciples of the Demonic Sect were all startled, realizing the danger, and simultaneously retrieved their magical artifacts, preparing for battle.

They didn't even need to ask to know that the junior brother they had sent to pursue Li Gu and Zhang Yi was now dead.

Li Gufei entered the arena and landed beside Kailong, smiling, "Chief Constable, Uncle Kai, we're back to help. Our retreat just now was merely to ambush one of their men. With your shrewdness, you shouldn't need an explanation, right?"

Kailong gave him a complicated look and snorted, "Good lad, you're actually at the Foundation Establishment stage. Looks like we've been fooled all along."

Zhang Yi landed as well and quickly said, "To save my life, I had no choice but to conceal some information. I hope you will forgive me."

"Sin? Not at all!" Cai Xinzi exclaimed joyfully, "Hahaha, with two Foundation Establishment cultivators helping us at this time, how can there be any sin? Only merit!"
