Pang Feng was in extreme tension, his entire body on edge with adrenaline coursing rapidly through his system. Since embarking on the path of cultivation, he had never faced such a crisis.
Inside Rhino Pool, there truly was a "Heaven Connecting Rhinoceros," a massive monster whose terrifying strength Pang Feng had only seen once in his life. His normally powerful punches seemed to merely tickle the beast.
Suspended mid-air, Pang Feng had a clear view of the situation. Below him, torrents raged, and none from Mount Xihua below could descend. Midway up the slope, an unkempt Daoist clutching a nine-section staff, lifted it above his head and murmured incantations under his breath.
Next to the unkempt Daoist, the black-clad man known as Hirata Saburo kept shifting his form. The two appeared to be jointly manipulating some kind of formation.
