The Twin Sword Sect Master increasingly felt that the actions of this young man were unfathomable, but he certainly would not refuse something that was beneficial and harmless. He nodded and said, "In that case, I will trouble you, Young Friend Su Hao. Old Five, let's go!"
With the combined attack of the three elder-level experts, Wang Long dared not be the slightest bit careless. He temporarily set aside his concerns about Ying Sang and the others.
The figure was illusory; the Twin Sword Sect Master's full-force strike was evaded by Wang Long with incredible speed. However, the Twin Sword Sect Master was already prepared and had clearly seen the direction in which Wang Long had dodged. After missing his strike, he showed no hesitation and directly rebounded using the force, launching another palm strike toward an empty space.
It turned out to be a place where only an empty shadow existed. Wang Long suddenly appeared there at just the right moment, as the Twin Sword Sect Master's palms were perfectly timed to strike. Wang Long had no chance to evade!
At that moment, another elder from the Twin Sword Sect also attacked, sealing off Wang Long's retreat route. Their cooperation was so seamless that it was no wonder the Twin Sword Sect Master had sent his other disciples away to hold one side while leaving this Five Elders behind.
Wang Long's expression changed. Although in Fire Village, his Thunder Element Power could only exert fifty percent of its strength, at this moment he could only gather his most adept Thunder Element spiritual energy in an instant.
"Thunder Element Annihilation Sword!" In a moment of urgency, Wang Long thrust both hands forward, directly condensing the Thunder Element Sword in front of him, perfectly blocking the path of the approaching Twin Sword Sect Master while a wind Earth Dragon whipped up a wall of sand to neutralize this Five Elders' full-force strike.
Although the Twin Sword Sect Master possessed enough strength to directly disperse the Thunder Element Annihilation Sword, given their current advantage, there was no need for such a mutually destructive approach—especially since they had already suffered significant losses at Wang Long's hands. Regardless of whether this operation succeeded or failed, if he, as the Twin Sword Sect Master, were to suffer serious injury again, once news spread, it wouldn't even require those Major Sects to take action; various competitors would use their actions as an excuse to come knocking.
In other words, whether or not they killed Wang Long was merely a matter of face and the success or failure of this operation, while preserving their maximum combat power was crucial for the survival of the Twin Sword Sect!
With a flash of movement, the Twin Sword Sect Master paused but remained ready for a second attack at any moment!
Although he had temporarily forced back these two powerful opponents in an instant, Wang Long did not feel any sense of ease.
He had three opponents!
In terms of strength, that mysterious young man seemed inferior to the Twin Sword Sect Master. However, for some reason, Wang Long felt more apprehensive about this person than anyone else!
Now.
Where was he?
Wang Long barely took a breath; having mobilized such a vast amount of Spiritual Essence simultaneously had already pushed him to his limits. Now he could only confront them with fifty percent of his strength. Could he withstand this strike?
Wang Long quickly sensed the final enemy. At this moment, Su Hao had already approached the position adjacent to the Twin Sword Sect Master, seemingly intending to launch a thunderous strike together, leaving Wang Long without even a shred of counterattack power!
"Light Feather Slash!"
The silent attack was upon him. Wang Long felt a warning in his heart; with his strength, he couldn't even sense from which direction or in what manner this strike was coming at him!
Could it be that his previous judgment was wrong? Was this actually a master whose strength surpassed his own?
Just as Wang Long, feeling helpless, counterattacked instinctively to resolve his passive situation, he suddenly heard a scream.
It was actually the voice of the Twin Sword Sect Master!
Wang Long looked up and realized that he hadn't felt anything at all; it turned out that the target of the attack wasn't him!
"You!" The Twin Sword Sect Master stared wide-eyed, both unwilling and unable to believe that Su Hao had suddenly launched a surprise attack from behind him. "You! Why..."
"It's simple. Because your Twin Sword Sect has only reached this point," Su Hao replied calmly, looking directly into the Twin Sword Sect Master's eyes without a hint of shame or guilt, as if everything he did was completely justified. "It's pitiful; originally, my brother had quite high expectations for you. Who would have thought that an unknown nobody would stop you here? It seems my brother can misjudge too!"
"Could it be... that you were never really supporting us?"
"Fool, only now do you realize this? What do you think your Twin Sword Sect has that’s worth us truly investing in? This time, we just wanted to test the waters with you. Now that your value has been fully utilized, I might as well let you make one last contribution. What does Master Zong think?"
"You dare!"
Meanwhile, Wang Long was filled with mixed feelings. He had always thought that people from the divine race acted too directly, without much scheming or tricks. But now, seeing the actions and words of this mysterious young man completely overturned his impression and made him extremely interested in the forces he represented. Suddenly, he saw an expression of extreme fear on the Twin Sword Sect Master's face.
Curious, he wondered what could still evoke such fear in someone who seemed to be on the brink of death.
"Master Zong!" On the other side, one of the remaining Five Elders of the Twin Sword Sect also noticed the change in the Twin Sword Sect Master. There was no time to continue attacking Wang Long; he turned back and flew toward Su Hao.
"It seems that at least your Twin Sword Sect is united internally. However, since my strength is lowly, I won't accompany you!"
Wang Long was puzzled about how strong Su Hao really was, especially how he could withstand the furious strike from the Five Elders at such a moment. Who would have thought that he would actually let go of the Twin Sword Sect Master, suddenly pushing forward to meet Elder Wang's attack head-on?
It seemed as if he had abandoned his greatest reliance and plunged into the heavy encirclement of the Twin Sword Sect.
However, Wang Long knew that after experiencing so many upheavals, the morale of the Twin Sword Sect's disciples had plummeted to an all-time low!
Moreover, he now held a dark, spherical object in his hand. Although Wang Long did not know what it was, he was certain that it was something the mysterious young man had taken from the Twin Sword Sect Master when he struck him earlier.
For a sect leader—well, even if it was just a leader of a small faction—to keep such a treasure close to him, it must be something extremely valuable. Coupled with what he had said earlier about utilizing the Twin Sword Sect, it was likely that their choice to engage with such an object was closely related!
Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on Wang Long's lips.
You want to use the Twin Sword Sect to gain your own benefits; that's your problem and has nothing to do with me.
But this time, you’ve dragged me into it as well? If in the end you’re unwilling to leave me any compensation, wouldn’t that mean I’ve wasted all this time for nothing?
With a sudden motion of his right hand, an invisible sword energy shot forth!
