Chapter 1061: Shield (Subscribe Please)_1
The other two Duanmu Family Elders said with a wry smile, "Elder Xu, you don't have to hide it from us any longer. With just a casual wave of your hand, tens of thousands of meters of the torn earth can be rejoined. Such terrifying power must have far surpassed the Saint Realm!"
"Yes! If we had known earlier that Elder Xu possessed such terrifying strength, we wouldn't have been so panicked. The mere Yang Dragon definitely wouldn't be your match."
Their way of addressing Xu Sheng had, unconsciously, undergone a change, carrying a hint of respect!
Duanmu Lian's beautiful eyes shimmered with intelligence as she asked in confusion, "Xu Sheng, can you tell me the difference between Divine Power and Spiritual Power that you mentioned to the Yang Dragon?"
Zhou Qingruo, who was nearby, also stared intently at Xu Sheng, waiting for his answer.
Xu Sheng chuckled softly, "Miss Lian, are you so eager to know? It wouldn't be good if you end up falling in love with me because of it."
Clearly, he had no intention of revealing the truth, still opting to hide his identity...
Duanmu Lian's cheeks flushed a touch rosier as she pouted, "If you won't tell, then fine! Even so, I know that Divine Power must be something that cannot be compared with Spiritual Power!"
To speak of falling in love with him, little did she know that she had already taken a fancy to him!
If it weren't for the fact that her good friend Zhou Qingruo and Xu Sheng were partners, she would definitely have taken the initiative to capture Xu Sheng!
Hearing this, the other Elders and Zhou Qingruo did not persist in questioning Xu Sheng further...
Then, they pondered, "What should we do now? This is the lair of the Yang Dragon. We have no idea where it is located. If we charge into other areas like headless flies, it could be very dangerous!"
"That's right, just like a moment ago. If Elder Xu hadn't made a move, our entire force would've been annihilated!"
Duanmu Lian spoke gravely, "Xu Sheng, can you sense the situation in the Xuanming Domain?"
She could vaguely feel the colossal power inside Xu Sheng plummeting rapidly. It wouldn't be long before it disappeared completely.
Xu Sheng gave her a glance and slowly closed his eyes, uttering softly, "Hmm!"
His Divine Power was about to vanish. At this critical moment, it was necessary to sense the situation in the Xuanming Domain for the last time.
The next moment, his entire body's Divine Power burst forth, spreading across the space of the entire Xuanming Domain at a speed invisible to the naked eye...
In just a few seconds, it had completely enveloped the entire Xuanming Domain, and everything within it surfaced in his mind...
It was precisely because of this that Xu Sheng realized how incredibly vast the Xuanming Domain was! It was filled with a countless variety of Strange Beasts and Monster Beasts!! There were even those that surpassed the Yang Dragon!
As he opened his dark eyes again, he had already formed a rough route map of the Xuanming Domain in his heart...
Duanmu Lian asked urgently from the side, "Xu Sheng, what's the situation?"
Xu Sheng spoke calmly, "Hmm! I have a rough idea now!"
As long as they avoided those powerful Strange Beasts and Monster Beasts, there wouldn't be any great danger.
Duanmu Lian's tone cooled slightly as she said, "We should not delay any further. Let's leave this place now. If that Yang Dragon from earlier reappears, Xu Sheng probably won't be able to contend with it!"
Although she was not sure how Xu Sheng managed to fend off the Yang Dragon, his strength was weakening now. If the latter returned, the group would have no power to resist.
Xu Sheng was not surprised that Zhou Qingruo noticed the decline of his Divine Power.
After turning around, he added indifferently, "Then let's go. Be sure to follow me closely to avoid being attacked by powerful Strange Beasts!"
The next moment, he burst forth with a fluctuation of Spiritual Power, darting out...
Duanmu Lian and the others did not stay behind either. They followed without hesitation, and the group disappeared into the chaotic space...
...
Under Xu Sheng's guidance, after ten or so minutes of travel, they heard voices not far ahead…
"Damn it! These monster beasts are terrifying; each one has reached the Immortal Monarch Realm!! It's simply unrealistic to think of killing them!"
"We were already so cautious, and yet we still encountered these monster beasts. Our luck is unbelievably bad!"
"Enough talk, get ready to fight!!"
The men speaking were all wavering between the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and the Immortal Monarch Realm in cultivation level…
Not far from them, there were several lizard-shaped humanoid monster beasts, their pale green eyes filled with endless murderous intent…
It's as if they could launch an attack on these people at any moment!
Seeing this, Duanmu Lian frowned and said, "Let's just leave. Better to avoid trouble when we can. Even for us, dealing with these monster beasts would be troublesome!"
Zhou Qingruo unexpectedly agreed, saying, "That's right. Within the Xuanming Domain, the only person you can trust is yourself!"
Xu Sheng did not deny it; he also felt this was the most sensible course of action…
However, just as they were about to leave, one of the men at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm caught a clear sight of Xu Sheng and the others and exclaimed to his companions, "Boss, look quickly, there are other people over there!!"
As soon as he spoke, the rest of the men also turned their gaze toward Xu Sheng and his group…
Upon discovering Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo, lecherous looks appeared in their eyes…
"Hiss, to think there are two such ravishing women here, what good fortune! If we could capture them, that would truly be a delight!"
"Perfect timing. We were just worrying about how to escape these monster beasts, and now we have a way!!"
The meaning of these words was simple: lure the lizard-like beasts to Xu Sheng and his people so that they could take the opportunity to run away!
By doing so, they could minimize unnecessary losses!
Almost as soon as this thought was voiced, a sinister look spread across all their faces…
One of the men gripped his personal sword tightly and with a swing toward the nearby humanoid lizard, a sharp sword qi accompanied by a "whirring" piercing noise assaulted the creature…
After striking one of the humanoid lizards, a chunk of its flesh was sliced off, and with a "puchi!" it fell to the ground, spilling dark green blood…
The sight alone was nauseating!
Immediately after, all of the humanoid lizards seemed to be enraged and charged towards the men with murderous intent…
The men, who were already prepared, erupted with terrifying speed and ran wildly toward the direction of Xu Sheng and his group––
Upon seeing this, a Duanmu Family Elder exclaimed in alarm, "What? These scoundrels actually lured the monster beasts over to us!"
Another Elder solemnly said, "They want to use us to stop these monster beasts while they seize the chance to run away!!!"
The expressions on both Duanmu Lian and Zhou Qingruo's faces darkened considerably…
Xu Sheng chuckled lightly and said, "So, what are you all waiting for? Run! Or do you really want to be these scoundrels' human shields??"
