Chapter 871: Monster

The place fell completely silent once Senior Nie revealed Yuan"s ident.i.ty to the Sect Masters.

Since none of the Sect Masters were directly involved in the Mystic Realm, none of them recognized Yuan. However, they were definitely intrigued by his existence, as he was able to open the Mystic PaG.o.da that had been sealed for countless years.

They also didn"t think that they would be meeting him anytime soon, as it hasn"t been that long since the Mystic Realm ended.

After many moments of silence, Sun Hao spoke, "I"m sorry, Senior Nie, but I won"t be able to back down— I can"t. I simply can"t forgive him, who severed my arm. He must pay for it!"

Bai Enjue then said, "I also won"t stop now. I don"t have any grudges against him, but I cannot put down my sword after fighting him— my pride won"t allow it."

Senior Nie sighed after hearing their words, but he didn"t continue to persuade them.

Although Senior Nie isn"t a Sect Master, he has been part of the Heavenly Academy even before the current Sect Master, and his reputation and authority within the sect isn"t any less than Sect Master Li.

In fact, most people within the Seven Spirit Academies see Senior Nie as a retired Sect Master despite having never taken up that position.

"What about the rest of you? I won"t tell you to not fight him, but I highly discourage it." Senior Nie turned to look at the others.

"I am out." Sect Master Xiahou said out loud before taking a few steps back.

As the Sect Master of the Healing Spirit Academy, she specializes in alchemy more than actual combat, and she didn"t want to risk her life for something so pointless.

"I will fight," said the Sect Master of the Lonely River Academy, as he was very close with Formless Sword Academy"s Sect Master. He would be filled with guilt if he didn"t a.s.sist Bai Enjue.

With half of the Sect Masters willing to fight, two more Sect Masters also agreed to continue their fight.

Sect Master Li from the Heavenly Academy is now the only person that hasn"t come to a decision.

Senior Nie narrowed his eyes at Sect Master Li.

"As the leading sect, it would be shameful of me to back down when the majority of the alliance has agreed to fight," said Sect Master Li with a resolute face.

Senior Nie sighed.

He then turned to look at Yuan with an apologetic look on his face, "I"m sorry. I tried."

"It"s fine. I was expecting it." Yuan said.

"Y-You were?"

"Yes." He smiled.

"Anyways, you should stand back. Things will get a little chaotic from here on out."

Before leaving, Senior Nie said to him, "I know I have no right to ask this of you, but… can you spare their lives at the very least? If you kill any of them, the Seven Spirit Academies will do everything in their power to destroy you."

"I won"t make any promises. If they"re too weak, I might accidentally kill them, after all." Yuan said.

Senior Nie could only sigh inwardly after hearing such words, and he retreated from the battlefield with Sect Master Xiahou.

"Since you"re down one, I will let you attack first." Yuan said to the six Sect Masters with a provoking smile on his face.

"Che!"

Sun Hao snickered in disdain right before retrieving a flute. He then used Qi Manifestation to hold the flute before his mouth, allowing him to play it with just a single hand.

"So he can play multiple instruments, huh?"

A moment later, the other five Sect Masters surrounded Yuan while feeling like their overall prowess had increased from listening to the music.

"Formless Sword Art— Formless Edge!" Bai Enjue was the first to attack Yuan, initiating a relentless a.s.sault that would not stop for many minutes.

"Strength Enhancing Array!" The Sect Master of the Golden Array Academy further enhanced the others" strength before trying to slow down Yuan with restraining arrays.

However, Yuan would easily break out of these arrays.

"This guy! He knows all of my arrays" weaknesses! Is he also an Array Master?!"

Meanwhile, Sect Master Li would occasionally throw powerful techniques at Yuan whenever one of the other Sect Masters finished their attack in order to keep up the pressure.

Of course, Yuan easily dodges all of these attacks with his movement technique.

"Fiery Lion Fist!"

The Sect Master of the Steel Lion Academy used his bare hands to attack Yuan from behind.

"Ha!"

Yuan immediately turned around in a kicking motion, blocking the fist attack with nothing but his bare legs.

"What a ridiculously st.u.r.dy body! Not even mountains can compare to this guy"s body! He must have soaked in countless treasures to acquire such a refined physique!" The Sect Master of the Steel Lion Academy was shocked after their clash. He was someone that would often claim to have the strongest and st.u.r.diest body in Spirit Heaven, but after clas.h.i.+ng with Yuan, he began to doubt his own strength.

The six Sect Masters relentlessly attacked Yuan for many minutes without giving him any time to breathe, each using their own talents to a.s.sist the others. Their cooperation with each other was perfect, but despite that, none of them have been able to land a solid hit on Yuan, as he was easily blocking and dodging everything they sent his way.

"This is f.u.c.king impossible! He has an answer for all of our attacks, and there are six of us attacking him at once!" Sect Master Li cried inwardly, his body soaked in cold sweat.

"What a monster..."

The other Sect Masters also noticed this, but they did not dare to stop attacking Yuan, fearing his retaliation.

Meanwhile, Li Jinxi and the others watched Yuan fight with six Spirit Kings simultaneously while having a lower cultivation.

"He"s even smiling…" Li Jinxi mumbled in a voice of disbelief as she stared at Yuan"s face that was filled with excitement and joy.
