What really startled hireat beauties but the level of theirthe top echelon exponents in the martial fraternity
And just how good were their martial proficiencies?
He was now staring in co incoherently on the ground, “Dirty…rematch…don’t count…Xian’Er…why did you hit me…”
Ji Wuzheng was astonished at the seeht, “This is his Iron Vest Aegis Skill? He can take so much punishment…”
He was not the only person that was stunned at the sight of the Martial Sage lying on the ground
Yi Ping was also stunned at the sight
It was because he had just been bashed by the Martial Sage and the e still filled hi’Er that knocks him down?”
He had suddenly realized that he knew very little about her and her ’Er was the vulnerable maiden that always needed his protection The few times that she had used her Invincible Divine Force were just a demonstration of hertechniques The only tiht with Lele But that was not an indication of her true skills for he could see that she was just trying to slap Lele and there was no killing intent
Yi Ping was beginning to lament his fate tomorrow…

Many of the martial clans were not pleased with the lack of action and decided to assault the Holy Areat appalling loss of lives
Even when the Three Sages had succeeded in killing four of the Holy Chapter Guardians of the Holy Hex Sect, the Honor Manor and the Virtuous Palace continued to take no action
He had confronted Xiao Shuai and Han Shaodong, as actually Gu Tianle’s protégé randmaster of the Honor Manor
Han Shaodong said, “Be patient The big fish has not yet arrived”
“What big fish, s is the one that has killed our brother We only need to kill hied!” He had said
They were referring to the Holy Maiden and of course, they did not reveal their real plans to the Martial Sage
Xiao Shuai was reluctant to tell hi for all the fraternity Notorious Four to show up first They would surely come to the aid of the Holy Hex Sect This expedition is not only to address martial justice for the Old Sword Saint and to foil the ambitions of the Holy Hex Sect; it is also to lure the Notorious Four fro”
The Martial Sage was not as tolerant as them and decided to take the course of action into his own hands as he was hoppingseem to have become another person…”
He could still reo, there was a ruround city in the great desolate desert Accordingly, it was theAt that ti to the desert in search of this underground city; no one wants to be the last Against the knowledge of his protégé master and elders, he had secretly arrived at the desert even though they had warned hihly possible that it was a conspiracy to cause infighting a exponents from different fraternities and different ers
