Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 68 The Spirit Martial Sect's Counterattack, Hunting Mode Activated!

Under the gloating gaze of the disciples of both sects.

On the small boat in the middle of the lake, Li Wudao raised an eyebrow and teased, "Oh, isn't that a swamp dog?"

Just as the silver-armored crocodile was about to bite him in the waist, he secretly gathered 50% of his blood energy into his leg and kicked the crocodile's mouth hard.

At least 50,000 jin of force was released instantly.

Boom!

A muffled sound came from the center of the lake, and ripples spread across the surface. The small boat creaked and groaned, and in the blink of an eye, it was shattered by the silent force, turning into a pile of broken planks and debris.

"puff--"

Suddenly, a jet of blood spurted from the crocodile's mouth, and several ferocious fangs flew out instantly.

The silver-armored crocodile's vertical pupils contracted, and it roared in pain. Before it could react, it felt an indescribable force erupt from its lower jaw.

The next instant, the enormous body became light and airy, spinning 180 degrees in mid-air, like a kite with a broken string, before plunging into the lake with a splash, creating a huge spray of water.

After a few breaths, the silver-armored crocodile's body slowly rose to the surface, its belly turned over, and it floated there motionless, its life or death unknown.

"ah........?!"

On the shore, the disciples of the two sects stared in disbelief, rubbing their eyes frantically.

"He defeated a mid-tier third-level monster with a single kick?!"

"This can't be real, it must be a dream, I must be dreaming!"

The three members of the Lingwu Sect were struck dumb, staring blankly at the giant crocodile churning the water in the lake, their eyes visibly clearing.

Despite their doubts, the facts before them cannot be denied; they have no choice but to believe them.

The two from Lei Huozong gasped, their expressions shifting rapidly, revealing a deep sense of awe.

"It seems I lost control a bit..."

Li Wudao looked at the wooden planks that had exploded into a mess at his feet and smiled bitterly.

Although the small boat was in ruins, it had stood here for a long time. It's a pity that he destroyed it. It's a bit sad and embarrassing.

Fortunately, with his current strength and the Heavenly Rank movement technique, he can move freely on the water.

Immediately, he stepped onto a wooden plank, leaped, and landed lightly on the lake, successfully collecting the Starflower.

Immediately afterwards, the young man lightly touched the water, transforming into a blur as he darted out from the center of the lake, his clothes remaining dry, and arrived at the shore in just a few breaths.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the two sects narrowed their eyes again, and their attitude became even more respectful.

Being able to walk on water as easily as on land, such skill is by no means inferior to that of a Martial Grandmaster. No wonder he can defeat a mid-level third-tier demon beast with ease.

Thinking about this, they felt both relieved and heavy-hearted.

The boy in front of them was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but the combat power he displayed was probably no less than that of their own top disciple.

This trip to the secret realm will likely reverse the decline of the Xuantian Sect in recent years.

Li Wudao glanced at the complicated expressions on the faces of the others, too lazy to care what they thought, and walked forward on his own.

The three members of Lingwu Sect did not linger; they left with furrowed brows and heavy hearts.

The emergence of such a dark horse from our mortal enemy, the Xuantian Sect, must be reported to our fellow disciples as soon as possible.

"Senior Brother Ren, what should we do now? This person is too strong. Should we join forces to punish the Xuan Tian Sect?"

One of the Thunderfire Sect members asked.

"No need, we can continue immediately."

The man pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering.

"You should go find Senior Brother Wei and the others first. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now."

Having said that, he strode forward and left in the direction Li Wudao was heading.

.........

at the same time.

In a corner of a secret realm.

The Lingwu Sect members were gathered together eating roasted meat when they looked at the limping young man with varying expressions.

"Wu Yuan, what happened to you? You look so disheveled. Did a dog bite you on the street?"

Listening to their ridicule and taunts,

The disheveled young man shook his head bitterly, his feelings complicated.

This person was none other than the blue-robed youth who had tried to threaten Li Wudao in the dense forest but ended up getting beaten up instead.

"Senior Brother Zhongshan, I..."

Wu Yuan, looking disheveled, glanced at the young man in the middle, hesitant to speak.

"Tell me in detail what exactly happened."

The leader, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, and a muscular physique like an ox, asked in a deep voice.

Wu Yuan sighed, "I encountered a Xuan Tian Sect disciple in the dense forest earlier. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his strength was unpredictable and monstrous. I couldn't defeat him even after fighting with all my might..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed instantly.

"What? You were injured by that trash from the Xuan Tian Sect?"

"In previous years, the Xuantian Sect only got beaten up. This year, they've got some nerve, daring to mess with people from our Lingwu Sect?"

"No, we have to get this back!"

"Since that kid injured one of our men, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Several people were filled with righteous indignation, furious and unable to accept it.

"Wu Yuan, do you know the name of the person who injured you?"

Zhong Shan remained relatively calm, but his tone was filled with coldness, clearly indicating that he was also angry.

"I...I don't know..."

Wu Yuan opened his mouth and responded weakly.

"........"

The members of the Lingwu Sect stared at him in silence.

He got beaten up, and he didn't even know the other person's name. What a talent!

After a moment of silence, Zhong Shan lowered his tiger-like eyes and coldly snorted:

"It doesn't matter. Xuantian Sect is our enemy anyway. Who cares who they are? We might as well take them all out and get our revenge."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up and they all agreed.

"Brother Zhong's idea is good, let's do it this way."

"Alright, I've been fed up with those weaklings from the Xuantian Sect for a long time, now I can finally vent my anger!"

"Let's go, let's go, I can't wait!"

Some Lingwu Sect disciples rubbed their hands together, grumbling as they walked out, ready to wreak havoc and sweep away the Xuantian Sect disciples.

"Senior Brother Zhong, isn't this a bit hasty?"

Wu Yuan felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Careless my foot! Only when the Lingwu Sect bullies the Xuantian Sect will that brat dare to hurt you and pay a heavy price!"

Zhong Shan swore, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Immediately, he waved his hand and ordered, "Tell the other disciples that if they see anyone from the Xuan Tian Sect, don't say a word, beat them up first, and then rob them of their valuables!"

"If anything goes wrong, I'll cover for you!"

"Got it!"

The Lingwu Sect members responded with laughter and then dispersed excitedly.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Wu Yuan didn't say anything more and silently followed behind, a deep sorrow etched on his brow.

For some reason, he always felt empty inside and restless.

.........

Another half day passed.

Li Wudao crossed a mountain and finally encountered the people of Xuantian Sect.

However, the other party's robes were stained with blood, his breath was weak, and he walked unsteadily, clearly indicating that he had encountered some misfortune.

After inquiring, they learned that it was the work of the Lingwu Sect.

"Senior Brother Li, please be very careful. Those people from the Spirit Martial Sect travel in large groups. If you encounter them, run if you can..."

The young man said weakly, looking very dejected.

The various treasures that were painstakingly found were snatched away by the Lingwu Sect in the blink of an eye, and even the storage ring was taken away. It was simply too difficult.

Li Wudao nodded, took a deep breath, and silently handed over several healing pills.

It didn't take long.

Along the way, they saw Xuan Tian Sect disciples with bruises on their bodies, their robes tattered and their appearance pitiful; these were all the work of Ling Wu Sect disciples.

This made Li Wudao somewhat angry.

This is clearly a deliberate attack and malicious humiliation of the Xuantian Sect disciples!

"It seems we were too lenient with the Lingwu Sect disciples earlier. Did they really think the Xuantian Sect was helpless..."

After settling the injured Xuantian Sect disciples, he turned and left, his eyes turning cold.

Hunting mode... has begun!
