Chapter 2148: The City Lord’s Mansion Can Barely Protect Itself

"Can the three of them handle it?" Yan Ke was a bit worried and glanced at Hua Yan.

Hua Yan’s face was deathly pale, and she shook her head, indicating she didn’t know.

"Heal first." Hua Yan said, not moving from her spot, and sat cross-legged directly on the ground.

Yan Ke, hearing this, also sat down cross-legged.

Both of them were medical cultivators, so they didn’t need to find anyone from the Medical Academy for treatment and started healing themselves.

Although the black-clad adversary was facing three people this time, Helian Buji, Su Dong, and Xi Xuyao were all Eighth Order Ancient Martial Artists, and even if the three joined forces against the black-clad adversary, they were not his match.

In less than five minutes, all three were more or less injured.

"Old Xi, have you notified the City Lord’s Mansion or not? We can’t hold on!" Helian Buji spat a mouthful of blood, and a rare pallor appeared on his dark face as he turned to look at Xi Xuyao.

"I notified them."

He also didn’t know why the people from the City Lord’s Mansion hadn’t arrived yet.

Their conversation was overheard by the black-clad adversary.

The black-clad adversary suddenly burst into laughter, "The City Lord’s Mansion?"

"So you’re still waiting for people from the City Lord’s Mansion to rescue you?"

"Too bad, they can’t even save themselves."

"Hahaha..."

After the black-clad adversary finished speaking, laughter erupted, a mix of male and female voices, chilling to the bone. Even more chilling was the content of his words.

"What do you mean?" Su Dong frowned, looking at the black-clad adversary.

"What do I mean?" The black-clad adversary sneered and continued, "You don’t think that we only have one Ninth-order ancient martial artist, do you?"

"You don’t think that under my command, I only brought these small fries, do you?"

As the black-clad adversary spoke, Su Dong and the others were taken aback.

Only then did they realize one thing.

Besides this black-clad adversary being at Ninth-order Peak, the rest were all below Eighth Order, most being Fifth Order, with only seven or eight at Sixth Order, even fewer at Seventh Order, two or three, and not a single one at Eighth Order.

Aside from the black-clad adversary, the others were easy to handle...

So, those who hadn’t arrived went to the City Lord’s Mansion?

Thinking of this, the three of them all changed their expressions.

"Do not count on the City Lord’s Mansion anymore, they’re in no position to protect themselves." After saying this, the black-clad adversary once more mobilized his vital energy, attacking Su Dong and the other two.

Seeing this, Xi Xuyao said to Su Dong and Helian Buji, "Form a Combat Array."

Upon hearing this, Su Dong and Helian Buji immediately found favorable positions and began channeling vital energy.

Blue, gold, and red lights flashed on Su Dong, Xi Xuyao, and Helian Buji’s bodies, and soon the lights formed a formation diagram.

The formation diagram expanded and rose around the three...

At the moment when the black-clad adversary’s vital energy struck them, a semi-transparent shield appeared on the formation diagram, enveloping the three while quickly flying towards the black-clad adversary.

"Boom!"

The black vital energy unleashed by the black-clad adversary collided with the tri-colored vital energy shield formed by the three, producing a loud roar.

The two forces clashed and stalemated in mid-air, then slowly moved towards the direction of the black-clad adversary.

Seeing this, Su Dong and the others were all delighted.

Su Dong: "It’s working."

Helian Buji also broke into a grin instantly, "Looks like even a demigod is just..."

Before he could finish, the smile froze on Helian Buji’s face.

Suddenly, the energy that had been moving towards the black-clad adversary swiftly reversed direction towards the trio.

Xi Xuyao, seeing this, immediately shouted to Su Dong and Helian Buji, "Oh no, quickly dodge."
