The Endless Promise {COMPLETED}

166. Blood Frenzy

.

'It would have been nice to have you pour tea for me one last time...' Kai Zhen thought, briefly recalling the past months with Luoyin and the rest.

Then with a saddened smile, he shut his eyes in resignation...

But then,

"Die."

A soft sigh echoed through the battlefield.

The air rippled and a fearsome wave of aura slammed into the demon, flinging him far and wide!

His aura vanished at once as his life-force was extinguished.

Both Kai Zhen and the larger demon swivelled in shock to find a calm figure.

The large demon's eyes widened, but Kai Zhen's shoulders sagged in relief.

Old Man Bao stood there casually, his hair, beard, and robes fluttering lazily in the wind.

'Tch! Show off!' Kai Zhen thought, but couldn't help a smile.

The large demon roared and charged at Old man Bao with his club.

Old Man Bao didn't even spare him a glance, but with a wave of his sleeve, a gentle breeze flew across the space...

And that 'gentle' breeze instantly exploded the club, the demon holding it, and half the ground behind him into fragments, returning the space to silence.

'S- So powerful!!!' Kai Zhen's jaw nearly hit the ground.

Old Man Bao dusted off his sleeve, glancing at Kai Zhen. "Why are you so surprised?

"It's hard to calculate the stages within the Eternal Tier, but we know there are at least ten stages, thanks to a certain someone who reached a tenth stage in the past (Bailong)!

"I'm at the sixth level, but most demons can only ever attain the first two stages... How did you think the fight would end?"

"Old... man Bao..." Kai Zhen coughed weakly. "You're indeed a showoff!" Still he linked his thumbs and bowed respectfully.

"You might be a disciple thief, but you've saved my life yet again! I'll surely repay it!"

Old man Bao sighed. "You already repaid these small favours... You burned years of your cultivation to bring Xiaobai back from the dead, so I can't accept your gratitude!

"You spared this old man centuries of mourning yet another loss! And besides..."

His eyes narrowed slightly at some demons in the distance. "We have much more to worry about..."

In other areas of Yu Shui City, the battle raged.

Luoyin, Weiyan, and the newly arrived Immortals were facing off the Eternal tier demons.

The demons were immensely powerful, so Luoyin and Weiyan faced each one together, taking them down with a combination of their powers and several clever tricks!

The other Immortals didn't have it easy, but managed to hold their own, with most of them keeping the Universal Tier demons from leaving Yu Shui City.

Old man Bao was certainly the most fearsome force around, as he eliminated most of the Eternal tier demons with supreme ease, with Kai Zhen only too happy to be the 'Fox borrowing the Tiger's power'!

Zhurong Fen only became angrier and angrier as she realized the immortals had been prepared for her demons!

But she gleamed in satisfaction when her eyes fell on a few lower-level immortals...
