Hearing Yueguan speak with such gravity, Gu Rong's expression subtly changed...
He knew Yueguan very well, who had great confidence in his own strength but now showed a complete turnaround when facing these "fellows," which said a lot about the severity of the situation...
Gu Rong shook his head and said again, "Well then, it seems you have some understanding of these fellows. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said that."
"However, as long as we're cautious, with our combined strength, dealing with them shouldn't be a problem!"
Yueguan frowned and warned, "Gu Rong, I really don't want to start a fight with them!"
After saying so much, was it possible that the other person had completely failed to grasp his meaning?
In response, Gu Rong let out a cold laugh, "Don't want to fight? This is Martial Soul City. Think carefully—if we don't kill these fellows, something unexpected may very well happen!"
As an elder of the Spirit Hall, the thought of such dangerous beings lurking within Martial Soul City would surely set anyone's nerves on edge!
Upon hearing this, Yueguan's pupils constricted sharply, and he bit out through clenched teeth, "You... "
But he quickly suppressed the words he was about to say...
Because Gu Rong was not wrong, allowing such dangerous creatures to linger in Martial Soul City was a massive threat!
Even if Gu Rong were to back down now, Yueguan would have no choice but to steel his nerves and face them!
Fortunately, that was not Gu Rong's intention; he chose to fight shoulder-to-shoulder.
With this in mind, Yueguan snorted coldly, "No need for your reminder. As an Elder of the Spirit Hall, it's my duty to protect the safety of Martial Soul City!"
The corners of Gu Rong's mouth lifted slightly, knowing his objective had been achieved...
"Then, tell me their weaknesses. From our brief encounter, these creatures' physical strength seems terrifying, not the least bit inferior to a Titled Douluo, perhaps even greater!"
Since Yueguan understood these creatures, he must surely know their weaknesses as well!
In an instant, Yueguan's face darkened...
"Weakness..."
Gu Rong grew impatient, "What? Don't you understand them? You don't even know their weaknesses?"
Yueguan raised an eyebrow, "These creatures are not all the same, each one has its own unique weaknesses that need to be carefully observed during combat to be discovered!"
"Expecting me to spell it out for you right now is asking too much."
Though Gu Rong had some complaints, it wasn't his place to say anything more...
However, the abyssal creatures, who had been listening to their conversation for so long, suddenly snapped to attention...
"Damn, are these two humans too arrogant? They dare to ignore us!"
"Exactly, do they really think they can take us on together? What a joke!"
"We are abyssal creatures, the most superior high-order beings in the world, not something these beings could possibly compare to!!"
"Enough talk here then, let's gang up and kill these two now!!!"
In an instant, the abyssal creatures no longer hesitated. With their gaze locked on Gu Rong and Yueguan, they launched a new onslaught...
Seeing this, Gu Rong showed no signs of evading, instead, he was filled with the urge to fight. "Let's see whether your bodies or my Bone Dragon is stronger!"
Since becoming the eminent power of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, he had not fought with anyone other than Chen Xin!
No longer concealing his strengths, his terrifying Soul Power burst forth...
A Bone Dragon tens of meters in size appeared out of nowhere, unleashing a deafening roar toward what lay ahead...
This scene prompted Yueguan to chide, "Seriously, could you rein it in a bit? What if this affects the friendly match, what then?"
Immediately, he also stopped suppressing his own power...
Like steel petals, the mystic heaven chrysanthemum floated in his hand, ready to launch an attack at any moment...
...
At the same time!
Inside the friendship match arena!
Feeling a bit anxious in his heart, Ning Fengzhi glanced to the empty space behind him and muttered to himself, "Why hasn't Uncle Bone returned after such a long time, could something unexpected have happened!!"
And it was highly likely related to Bi Bidong!
With this thought, he involuntarily cast a glance towards the latter...
Bi Bidong, who was acutely aware of the gaze, captured it in a flash...
She smiled lightly and said, "Sect Master Ning, you've been sending glances my way, do you have something you want to say?"
Ning Fengzhi's expression seemed somewhat flustered...
Regaining his composure, Ning Fengzhi calmly replied, "Your Holiness, I've always heard that Elder Ju and Elder Gui from the Martial Soul Hall are inseparable, but why do I only see the former at today's friendship match?"
The words were filled with deep suspicion...
Bi Bidong certainly noticed this and, somewhat surprised, said, "So that's what Sect Master Ning is concerned about. In fact, Gui Mei left Martial Soul City not long ago to follow my orders and execute a mission!"
"He will not return until at least the end of the friendship match!"
Ning Fengzhi did not let it go and pursued further, "May I know where Elder Gui has gone that is even more important than attending the friendship match?"
Xue Ye also took an interest and likewise spoke up, "Regarding this matter, I too am somewhat curious, could Your Holiness perhaps enlighten us?"
Humph!
Leaving Martial Soul City to execute a mission, it's probably lurking in the shadows, preparing to launch an attack at any moment!
Bi Bidong hadn't expected Xue Ye to also join the inquiry, and thoughtfully said, "I did not expect both Sect Master Ning and His Majesty Xue Ye to be so interested, but unfortunately, it is not convenient to reveal such matters!"
However, you want to know, yet I just won't let you know!!
After all, I'm under no obligation to disclose this information!!
Ning Fengzhi shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to press, "I see, that's a pity then, Elder Gui will miss seeing the final championship contest!"
Xue Ye nodded slightly, "Hmm... this year's friendship match should be the most satisfying one in many years, shouldn't it?"
Skywater Academy has managed to hold their ground against the Spirit Hall Golden Generation for so long, even if they lose in the end, it still proves their remarkable talent!!
Bi Bidong did not engage with them further but indifferently said, "Your Majesty Xue Ye, Sect Master Ning, let's focus our attention on the competition stage, where the outcome is about to be decided!!"
Upon looking at the competition stage, the participants from Skywater Academy and the Spirit Hall Golden Generation had already exhausted nearly half their Soul Power in battle...
If the fight continued at this pace, the members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, who held an advantage in soul power rank, stood a greater chance of winning!!
Knowing this, the competing students of Skywater Academy didn't plan to delay any longer and decided to go all out with the remaining Soul Power they had...
