Chapter 805: Chapter 803: Standing Firm Against the White Tiger Venerable

As soon as the words fell, a loud explosion echoed in the sky, and deep ravines appeared on the ground.

The White Tiger Venerable cast a cold glance at Luo Xue, standing aside, his gaze becoming much fiercer. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "Don’t think just because you’re a friend of my old friend, I won’t kill you! Stand aside now, or you’re just dreaming if you think you can stop me on your own."

The faces of the surrounding crowd quickly grew unsightly, retreating continuously backward.

After all, they could all feel the intimidation exerted by the White Tiger Venerable.

Luo Xue stood to the side, constantly watching the White Tiger Venerable in front of her. What surprised her was that she never expected the White Tiger Venerable to recognize her. This made it apparent that the White Tiger Venerable had some of his own consciousness, but it had been dominated by the Inner Demon, thus preventing him from making any major moves.

"Damn it, we absolutely cannot let Luo Xue engage with the White Tiger Venerable alone."

"After all, the White Tiger Venerable’s strength is too powerful. Even if Wang Zhan fights him alone, he might not stand much chance of winning."

"If we join forces, we might be able to deal some damage to the White Tiger Venerable."

At this point, it’s no longer just Luo Xue’s issue. If Luo Xue is defeated by the White Tiger Venerable, their situation would become extremely difficult. They rise and fall as one.

Yet Luo Xue stood firm in front of them. She turned back to glance at the people behind her, and said slowly, "I have a plan. You don’t need to worry about me. Retreat back to Flying Cloud City and wait quietly for Wang Zhan and the others to return. Once we are united, even the White Tiger Venerable won’t dare to challenge us anymore."

The crowd exchanged glances, and none had the intention of leaving; they remained firmly behind Luo Xue.

Seeing this, Luo Xue slowly spoke, "Even if we can’t kill him, we can at least delay him for a while."

The crowd shook their heads, their attitude extremely determined, clearly with no intention of leaving.

Han Junxiong, standing nearby, crossed his arms and walked to Luo Xue’s side with a smile. "There are so many of us men here; we can’t possibly let a woman stand in front of us. If word got out, where would we put our face?"

"At least, we won’t easily abandon you. First, let’s handle the White Tiger Venerable before us. As for other matters, we can talk about them later."

As he spoke, Han Junxiong immediately took a battle-ready posture.

The people standing beside Han Junxiong also drew their weapons, aiming them at the White Tiger Venerable, clearly ready for a fight to the death.

The White Tiger Venerable squinted, a trace of disdain in his eyes. He squeezed his fist, and suddenly, strong winds appeared, rapidly forming massive tornado whirlwinds.

From the current strength of the White Tiger Venerable, he seemed fully capable of controlling all the energy between heaven and earth, naturally having a vast gap with Luo Xue.

Despite this, the crowd showed no intention of retreating. Especially Han Junxiong, who, casting a glance at the White Tiger Venerable, gave a cold smile and quickly charged towards him, "Do you really think you’re invincible?"

Within seconds, Han Junxiong charged to the White Tiger Venerable’s side, engaging him immediately.

However, the gap between them was too significant, and within just a few seconds, Han Junxiong was knocked back several steps, his complexion turning pale.

It seemed that if he continued to engage, he might not even be able to preserve his life.

After exchanging glance with one another, they didn’t hesitate, revealing their trump cards, and charged towards the White Tiger Venerable.

But now that things had reached this stage, retreating wasn’t easy, and the determination in the crowd was apparent.

Then, Luo Xue quickly joined the fray, immediately intertwining with the White Tiger Venerable.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the sky. The enormous tornadoes quickly surrounded several people, and those with low cultivation were immediately trapped by the tornadoes. In fact, just a brief touch severely injured most experts, leaving them incapable of continuing the fight.

But despite this, everyone still had no intention of retreating. They charged forward wave after wave, using sheer numbers to contend with the White Tiger Venerable.

Unfortunately, this group overestimated themselves. Although the White Tiger Venerable was somewhat consumed, their strength was far too inferior to the White Tiger Venerable. Relying on their mere abilities was still insufficient.

With another loud noise, faint figures fell in all directions. Clearly, at that moment, everyone’s defenses had been shattered by the White Tiger Venerable, who then quickly rushed towards Luo Xue.

"Nothing but a mere mortal, where did you get the courage to challenge me face to face? If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless with you."

As he spoke, the White Tiger Venerable instantly charged his entire body’s power into his fists. Many years ago, his famous ultimate skill was this set of punches. Even if the Azure Dragon Venerable exerted his defense to the utmost, it would be difficult to withstand the fists of the White Tiger Venerable.

Over the years, the White Tiger Venerable’s physical strength had improved to some extent. Although his body was controlled by the Inner Demon, its power was generally the same as the White Tiger Venerable’s.

With a crash, the White Tiger Venerable clashed with Luo Xue. In the brief contact, Luo Xue, though not as disheveled as everyone else, kept retreating.

As for the White Tiger Venerable, he stood proudly in mid-air, arrogantly looking down at the crowd before him, like overlooking ants.

After exiting dozens of steps, Luo Xue finally managed to stand firmly, clutching her chest, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Although she inherited part of the Black Tortoise Venerable’s cultivation, there was still a significant gap compared to the White Tiger Venerable.

Han Junxiong reacted first, hurriedly ran to Luo Xue’s side, enduring the intense pain, and eagerly asked, "How are you? Can you hold on?"

He knew very well that with Luo Xue’s power, leaving this place wasn’t difficult. The reason why Luo Xue stayed was entirely for everyone’s safety. If it weren’t for that, she would have already left.

Thinking of this, how could Han Junxiong not be moved?

Luo Xue gently shook her head, keeping her gaze on the White Tiger Venerable, and said softly, "You don’t need to worry. Just find a way to lead everyone away, preferably out of Flying Cloud City, given it’s no longer safe now. I can see this guy has intense murderous intent."

"Once I can’t continue to hold him off, he definitely won’t spare everyone, and he’ll hunt down the people in Flying Cloud City."

Han Junxiong’s face changed, quickly asked, "What about you?"

Currently, by staying here, they can still buy some time and prevent the White Tiger Venerable from fully focusing on Luo Xue alone. Once they retreat, there would be no one to support Luo Xue.

They can even anticipate what they will need to face next.

Luo Xue smiled indifferently, glanced into the distance, and then calmly said, "I can sense Brother Wang and Jiang Yin are swiftly heading towards me, trying to join me. If I can just delay a bit longer, when the three of us unite, what else is there to worry about?"

"Moreover, you should know I inherited the Black Tortoise Venerable’s legacy. Though my combat power isn’t exceedingly formidable, its defensive strength is remarkable. Even if the Azure Dragon Venerable and White Tiger Venerable join forces, breaking its defense wouldn’t be easy."

Perhaps by fate, after inheriting the Black Tortoise Venerable’s power, Luo Xue’s defense indeed improved significantly. Even if Wang Zhan doesn’t use all his might, breaking her defense is no easy task.

Yet, Luo Xue understood clearly that now, even facing the White Tiger Venerable directly, exerting her defense fully wouldn’t easily block the White Tiger Venerable’s advance. After all, she hadn’t received the entire Black Tortoise Venerable’s legacy, only about half of it, unable to fully contend with White Tiger Venerable.

But Luo Xue knew, if she didn’t stand here, the people behind her would be in trouble, making it difficult to retreat undamaged. Therefore, sacrificing herself to save so many people considered beneficial to her.

Han Junxiong slightly clenched his fists; he now only hated that his strength was insufficient to help Luo Xue share some burdens.
