73: The master's realm
Li Changfeng's expression was strange, and he somewhat didn't understand.
If you want to hide, then hide, but don't hide too much.
If you keep hiding, won't you become a turtle?
Phoenix Dance looked at the Sect Master and the Peak Lords who were sent flying, spitting blood, and immediately charged back up.
She asked Li Changfeng.
"Revered Master, I feel like something is not quite right."
"Are the Sect Master and the others really still hiding?"
"They've already been beaten to the point of spitting blood; is there any meaning to such hiding?"
Li Changfeng said with certainty: "Of course they've hidden a move, or even several moves."
"If they only had this much strength, how could they be the Sect Master and Peak Lords?"
"Take you, Phoenix Dance, for example; cultivating to the Nascent Soul Realm in one month is very easy, right?"
"And the Sect Master and the others have Cultivated for hundreds of years; no matter how bad their talent, they shouldn't be this weak."
Phoenix Dance nodded; it seemed to make sense.
But upon closer thought, she felt that something was amiss.
Although only one month had passed in the outside world, she had spent more than just one month inside that Divine Artifact.
It had been several decades!
Never mind, whatever Revered Master said was definitely correct.
There was no need for her to dwell on this; it was better to continue watching the Sect Master and the others perform.
Lin Fan watched silently; he also felt that something was a bit off.
But Li Changfeng had already said that the Sect Master and the others were merely hiding their strength.
Since they were hiding their strength, then there was no problem.
Furthermore, he didn't have the ability to influence the battlefield.
He could punch and explode a Golden Core, or even kill a Nascent Soul.
But this Devil Head was a Combination Realm powerful being.
Even if he wanted to help, he didn't have the strength.
Just watch the show; anyway, he couldn't change the outcome of the battle.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The Sect Master and the others were once again sent flying by the Black Robed Man.
Their Qi became even more listless.
Looking at them, it seemed they were on the verge of exhaustion.
Li Changfeng's brows furrowed tightly as he stared intently at the Sect Master and the Peak Lords.
"It's so similar, they're really acting well."
"If this were in my previous life, they'd at least get an acting award."
"Look at the blood they're spitting; it's practically real."
"However, what exactly are the Sect Master and the others hiding their strength for? Aren't they afraid of accidents?"
The Black Robed Man laughed loudly, his face full of arrogance.
Already extremely ugly, he became even more disgusting.
The Black Robed Man looked down at the Sect Master and the others, and said coldly.
"I thought you could stop me from slaughtering these tens of thousands of Mount Suppressing Sect Disciple."
"But now it seems your strength is far from enough."
"Even you, the Senior in the dark, are no longer capable of harming me in the slightest, are you?"
There was no movement!
The Black Robed Man became even more arrogant, and his confidence returned.
Having easily defeated the six of them, the Black Robed Man was now fearless of everything.
He believed that the strong person who had ambushed him earlier.
Was at most a Combination Realm Late Stage, and he had now surged his strength to the Combination Realm Peak!
Although this was not his own power and he would enter a period of weakness afterward.
But as long as he could sacrifice these tens of thousands of Mount Suppressing Sect Disciple, plus the high-level powerhouses of the Kaoshan Sect.
The great demon god would infinitely shorten his period of weakness.
The Sect Master's expression was solemn and pale.
He said in a deep voice: "Yaoguang, Tianji, do you still have the strength to escape?"
"Is Changfeng safe?"
"As long as Changfeng can survive, even if we die here, the Kaoshan Sect will have a future."
"He is the hope of our Kaoshan Sect; he must not be allowed to suffer any harm."
Yaoguang Peak Lord's chest was stained red with blood, and her Qi was weak.
She turned her head to look in Li Changfeng's direction, and her expression immediately became incredibly grim.
"Sect Master, Peak Lord Li did not escape."
"And there's nowhere to escape; this time, our Kaoshan Sect is doomed."
"Damn it, how could a Combination Realm Devil Head suddenly appear?"
"If it weren't for this Heaven-Concealing Array, our Old Ancestor would have already descended and crushed this Devil Head."
"Unfortunately, there are no 'ifs' in this world..."
Tianji Peak Lord revealed a bitter smile: "Let's fight, and try to injure this great Devil Head."
"His strength does not belong to him."
"If we can delay until he enters his period of weakness, we will still have hope."
Upon hearing what Tianji Peak Lord said, the Sect Master and the Peak Lords were all full of bitterness.
Delaying until the weakness period, how could it be that simple?
The current problem was that they couldn't even withstand the Black Robed Man's attacks.
If it happened a few more times, they were afraid they would all perish here.
Just then, Li Changfeng transmitted a message to the Sect Master.
"Sect Master, what kind of performance are you putting on?"
"After Cultivating for hundreds of years, is it that you haven't been injured for too long, so you want to experience it?"
"It's time to reveal your strength; if you don't reveal your strength and take down this Black Robed Man Devil Head, your reputation will surely be damaged."
"Stop hiding and holding back; blow up this useless Devil Head."
The Sect Master's mouth twitched, and he looked at Li Changfeng.
If he could be stronger, would he need to be beaten to the point of constantly spitting blood?
This was his strongest strength; truly, there was no hiding at all!
But the Sect Master still replied to Li Changfeng's message, his tone extremely serious.
"Changfeng, hide later."
"You and your Disciple are both super Prodigies."
"It doesn't matter if we perish, but you cannot die."
"Later, I will use self-detonation to try and achieve a mutual destruction."
"Even if I can't break this Heaven-Concealing Array, it should still be able to injure that Devil Head."
Li Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then a brilliant smile appeared on his face.
The Sect Master indeed hid deeply enough, even speaking of self-detonation.
Yet he still refused to reveal his strength above the Soul Transformation Realm, truly setting an example.
He had comprehended the Kaoshan Sect's teachings to the depths of his Soul.
Li Changfeng began to educate Phoenix Dance and Lin Fan.
"Phoenix Dance, Lin Fan."
"Just now, I had a message exchange with the Sect Master, which gave me an even deeper understanding of the Kaoshan Sect's teachings."
"Do you know what the Sect Master did?"
"He even hid it from me, and said he would protect us by self-detonating."
"In the Dao of 'Gou' (hiding/lying low) in the Kaoshan Sect, we are truly many Ranks behind the Sect Master."
Phoenix Dance nodded; in her philosophy, what Li Changfeng said was always correct.
If there was any disagreement, it must be that her own thinking was problematic.
"Revered Master, then are we just going to keep watching?"
"The Sect Master and the others have spit out so much blood; they're really hiding deeply."
"They're waiting for the great Devil Head to relax, and then deliver a fatal blow, right?"
Li Changfeng thought for a moment, and said in approval: "It should be so."
"Phoenix Dance, you are indeed teachable; in the future, you must continue to delve into this Dao of 'Gou'."
"When you Cultivate to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm someday, expose at most the Nascent Soul Peak strength, understand?"
"If your strength is exposed, you will be in danger later."
"The path of Cultivation is full of dangers; not only should you keep one hand hidden, it's best to keep two, or even three hands hidden!"
Good!
Just then.
Yaoguang Peak Lord and the others retreated to a far-off place, only the Sect Master charged directly at the Black Robed Man.
And the Sect Master's body began to swell, quickly becoming a round sphere.
Li Changfeng sighed with emotion: "Too strong, he's actually making it look like he's going to self-detonate, in order to hide his strength."
"Sect Master, your strength may not be as good as mine, but in this Dao of 'Gou', I am far inferior to you."
The Sect Master's Qi became increasingly violent, like a powder keg.
It had reached the point where it would explode at a touch!
