Chapter 825 - 826: Unbelievable
Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord with the metal mask showed no trace of emotion.
"Why should I enter? You will go in and help me get what I want. I can just wait here for you.
Look, you’ve already brought the things out for me, haven’t you? I really must thank you, Nameless Elder."
The Demon Lord said with a smile, yet his masked face showed no expression.
Upon hearing the Demon Lord’s words, Nameless Elder’s already unpleasant expression worsened.
When the Demon Lord appeared, Nameless Elder actually understood his intent.
Indeed, the Demon Lord shared the same thought as Nameless Elder.
"It seems your plan is really quite good."
Looking at the Demon Lord opposite him, Nameless Elder spoke with some helplessness; the Demon Lord was simply too cunning!
With the Demon Lord blocking their path now, leaving was extremely difficult. Whether they could escape at all was a huge question.
"I also think this is a very good idea.
Nameless Elder, you are not my match. These two youngsters have great potential, but at this moment, they are not my opponents either.
Be sensible, hand over what you have and let me take it away, and I may not kill you."
The Demon Lord’s gaze swept over the three in front of him, speaking with a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, Nameless Elder said nothing, knowing well that with the Demon Lord here, today’s matters surely couldn’t end peacefully.
"Lin Kuang, Gongsun Zhan, soon I will stall the Demon Lord. Run as far as you can, and do not let the Demon Lord find you; you are the hope!"
Nameless Elder transmitted sound secretly, while unfastening the bundle on him, placing it casually on the ground.
Hearing Nameless Elder’s words, Lin Kuang and Gongsun Zhan felt a jolt in their hearts, naturally understanding the elder’s intent.
And the two of them also sincerely wished to stay, but they both knew well that given their strength, staying meant death.
Not only would they fail to assist Nameless Elder, but instead would become a burden.
Helpless, the two had to leave, they must go!
"Senior, take care!"
Lin Kuang transmitted voice.
Now, all Lin Kuang could do was take these secret techniques, cultivation manual, and cultivation techniques back; they were the most important things for the human side.
Upon hearing Lin Kuang’s voice transmission, Nameless Elder’s expression remained calm, saying nothing, but his gaze was fixed firmly on the Demon Lord opposite.
"Demon Lord, weren’t you going to starve us? Come on, make your move; let me test just how strong you, Mo Zhu, truly are."
Nameless Elder spoke, reaching a point where he had to risk everything. No matter what, he had to stall the Demon Lord and let Lin Kuang and Gongsun Zhan escape.
For this, even at the cost of his life, Nameless Elder did not care!
"What? Trying to stall me, and let these two youngsters escape?
Nameless Elder, don’t bother using such petty schemes on me, I’ve come across this kind of thing far too often, and I could guess it without even thinking."
Looking at Nameless Elder opposite, the Demon Lord spoke.
Upon hearing this, Nameless Elder’s expression remained as calm as if nothing had happened, because he was prepared to die in battle here!
"Yes, that’s exactly what I mean, however, it doesn’t matter. Even if so, you won’t get past me, I must hold you back!"
Looking at the Demon Lord, Nameless Elder spoke with a calm demeanor.
"Is that so? Nameless Elder, I acknowledge you’re strong.
However, you’re a bit overconfident. A martial artist half a step into the Ninth Layer Ascension Realm and one truly within the Ninth Layer Ascension Realm is vastly different."
The Demon Lord spoke casually, his indifferent words showed he didn’t regard the Nameless Elder as a threat.
"Is that so? Then let’s try!"
Nameless Elder spoke.
The next moment, Nameless Elder charged straight out.
In the course of rushing out, the power within Nameless Elder erupted directly, his formidable strength instantly grew furious.
At this moment, Nameless Elder had pushed his power to the limit—this was his strongest force.
Observing the charging Nameless Elder, the Demon Lord stood calmly in place, the eyes behind the metal mask quietly watching Nameless Elder.
Lin Kuang and Gongsun Zhan also looked on with serious expressions.
Now, all hope rested on Nameless Elder; if he wasn’t a match, then they were finished as well.
At this moment, Nameless Elder had already rushed to the Demon Lord’s close range, simultaneously throwing a punch aimed at the Demon Lord’s head.
Seeing this scene, the Demon Lord’s body remained calm.
He gently raised his hand. On his palm, there was no flow of True Qi; he simply extended his palm, unremarkably, blocking Nameless Elder’s fist.
No sound was emitted, the fist and palm lightly collided.
At this moment, the surging Nameless Elder was directly blocked, his whole being unable to advance any further.
Nameless Elder’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant, his palm exerting constant force, attempting to smash away the Demon Lord’s palm, yet futilely—nothing worked.
"Feeling the gap? This is the difference between a half-step Ninth Layer Ascension Realm and a true Ninth Layer Ascension Realm.
You are no match for me, killing you is as easy as taking something out of a bag!"
Looking at Nameless Elder before him, the Demon Lord spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Nameless Elder did not speak, but his mouth was filled with bitterness; at this moment, was he unaware of the gap between himself and the Demon Lord?
But precisely because of this, Nameless Elder felt even more powerless; the hard-earned item was just being watched as it was taken by the Demon Lord?
That was crucial to determining whether people on the Righteous Path could improve; if the Demon Lord took it, how could Nameless Elder reconcile with that?
Reflectingly, Nameless Elder took a deep breath: "Demon Lord, you’re indeed strong, beyond my expectations.
However, given the situation, I can only unleash my fullest power, although I really don’t want to."
Speaking this, the power around Nameless Elder slowly transformed—the force wasn’t True Qi; it seemed even more advanced, and its erupting waves were terrifying.
Even the True Qi within the Demon Lord seemed to tremble, appeared fearful in face of this force.
With the Demon Lord trembling so, Lin Kuang and Gongsun Zhan were even worse off—the True Qi within them shivered, almost unable to circulate.
And at this moment, Lin Kuang’s Dantian power suddenly erupted, spinning rapidly, catalyzing the Eight Gates, which restored Lin Kuang to normal.
"What’s going on? What power is this?"
Looking at Nameless Elder, Lin Kuang wondered in astonishment—this power was too strong.
At this moment, the Demon Lord could no longer maintain calm; though people couldn’t see his expression, they could see his excited eyes.
Those eyes weren’t just filled with excitement, but also shock and disbelief!
The Demon Lord seemingly discovered something extraordinarily out of the ordinary.
