"Just leave the Soul Enhancing Flowers and we can forget about this… The only way out is guarded by the two elders from earlier, you should at least know that you won't be able to get away without running into them first!" Slowly approaching the wandering cultivator, General Zhang attempted to persuade him first before attack again.
After all, the other party had already been blocked and would not be able to run away without going through him first!
Even though the other part was above the early stages of the Domain Lord Realm and had already reached the middle stages of the realm, General Zhang had clearly felt that the other party had just barely reached the fourth stage of the Domain Lord Realm and was not yet familiar with his own strength yet.
Other than that, the earlier clash also helped General Zhang affirm that the other party was not as skilled as himself when it came to fighting someone at the Domain Lord Realm.
At this point, General Zhang already felt like he could win against the wandering cultivator alone if he was given enough time. Not considering that General Liu, who had around the same strength as himself, was there as well…
"Hmph!" Narrowing his eyes after hearing what General Zhang said, the wandering cultivator knew very well what he said was true.
Even though he was a wandering cultivator, he mostly specialised in formations and seals. Not really too focused on the aspect of fighting, outside of a few staff techniques that he had managed to pick up over the years.
Swish~
A calm ocean slowly began to manifest around him as the domain of the wandering cultivator appeared.
"A water domain…" Seeing the water domain of the wandering cultivator appear, General Zhang and General Liu both knew that they would not be able to talk it out with him and fighting would be the only option left for them.
Giving up the Soul Enhancing Flowers was not an option as both of them could easily imagine their elder's reaction upon hearing how they lost something so precious due to a moment of elation where their guard was lowered. Allowing for the wandering cultivator to snatch away the box of Soul Enhancing Flowers.
Whoosh~
Both General Zhang and Liu reacted to the wandering cultivator and manifested their own domains.
General Zhang was covered in darkness as a domain looking similar to what Ancestor Bi Sheng had used to fight the giant lizard demon beast earlier on appeared around him.
General Liu on the other hand was covered in flames, as a sea of flames erupted with him as the centre.
The fire domain and darkness domain soon collided with the calm water domain of the wandering cultivator as it began to shake visibly under the pressure of both domains.
"Hah!"
Whoosh!
Knowing that he could not stand still and allow both of them to supress his domain together, the wandering cultivator did not stand still to contend against both domains at the same time and instead decided to launch an attack towards General Zhang. Attempting to break out of the storage room before using his artifact to hide away once again and look for an opportunity to leave the secret realm.
The formerly calm water domain of the wandering cultivator suddenly became ferocious as a large amount of water qi gathered together and manifested into a giant tidal wave that came crashing down towards General Zhang.
"Hmph!" Already prepared for the attack, General Zhang lifted his blade and swung down to meet the incoming wave. Following which dark qi merged together with his blade to strengthen it as he met the attack of the wandering cultivator head on without hesitating in the slightest.
Boom!
The two clashed once again as the attack this time around was way more devasting, causing the surrounding storage room to end up getting destroyed. Luckily, the wandering cultivator had already put away the box of Soul Enhancing Flowers in his interspatial ring.
If not, the clash would surely have ended up destroying the flowers… Not an outcome either party would want to happen.
As both General Zhang and the wandering cultivator clashed with each other, General Liu did not wait behind as he was gathered a large amount of fire qi in his fists before throwing a punch in the direction that the wandering cultivator retreated towards after clashing with General Zhang.
The attack of General Liu began to burn the surroundings as the fire fist appeared behind the wandering cultivator who just barely managed to use his domain to block the incoming fire fist of General Liu with a large wall of water.
Fwoosh!
As the fiery fist attack of General Liu hit the water wall that protected the wandering cultivator, a large amount of vapor appeared as the water manifested from the water domain began boiling under the intense heat of General Liu's attack.
Soon all of the water disappeared as the wandering cultivator could only meet the attack head on and try his best to ensure he did not take too much damage from the attack.
Bang!
The attack of General Liu had weakened quite a bit after evaporating the wall of water set up by the wandering cultivator, but still managed to carry forth a terrifying heat as it smashed directly into the body of the wandering cultivator.
Sending him flying into a nearby wall of the storage room.
Crash!
The wall almost immediately collapsed as it fell down and covered the wandering cultivator under the rubble.
Rumble~
The collapse of the wall soon caused the rest of the storage room to collapse, as both General Liu and Zhang quickly made their way outside.
The materials used to construct the palace was not just any ordinary materials and even if they were Domain Lord Realm cultivators, they would still be injured if they were hit by the collapsing storage room.
"Give up and hand over the Soul Enhancing Flowers!" Moving over to the area where the wandering cultivator was buried, General Zhang called out in a stern tone as his domain covered everything around the area. Making sure that the wandering cultivator would not be able to escape without him noticing!
General Liu moved over as well, as both of them slowly began to move the collapsed wall. Preparing to resume their fight with the wandering cultivator at any point.
Whoosh!
"The Soul Enhancing Flowers!" Suddenly the wandering cultivator broke out from the collapsed wall of the storage room as he threw the box containing the Soul Enhancing flowers into the distance while throwing an attack towards it at the same time.
All of this was done while the wandering cultivator desperately escaped in the opposite direction, it was clear that he did not want to continue fighting any longer and was just trying to escape at this point.
General Zhang also sensed this and through his domain felt that the Soul Enhancing Flowers were indeed in the box thrown out by the wandering cultivator.
Boom!
Flying out to block the attack that was flying towards the box of Soul Enhancing Flowers, General Zhang could not care too much about the wandering cultivator.
Securing the Soul Enhancing Flowers was way more important in his eyes compared to chasing after the wandering cultivator.
"I got it!" Yelling out excitedly, General Liu had not blocked the wandering cultivator either and had instead caught the box of Soul Enhancing Flowers before they managed to land on the ground.
Swish~
Just as General Zhang was about to give chase to the wandering cultivator, he suddenly turned into a thin mist like form and disappeared.
"There is one Soul Enhancing Flower missing!" Counting up the Soul Enhancing Flowers inside of the box, General Liu could not help but exclaim loudly.
General Zhang only frowned as he looked in the direction that the wandering cultivator had disappeared for a few seconds before turning back towards General Liu.
"Hah, looks like we won't be able to chase after him… At least we got the Soul Enhancing Flowers back… Losing one should not be too bad considering that he might have destroyed them if we really entered a life and death fight…" Letting out a depressed sigh, General Zhang walked up to General Liu before he put away the box of Soul Enhancing Flower in his interspatial ring. Making sure the wandering cultivator would not return again to try his luck…
Rumble~
Crash!
"Looks like we will have to hurry back to the elders and get out of here before the entire place collapses…" Not caring about the fact that General Zhang took away the box of Soul Enhancing Flower, General Liu was instead focused on the continuously worsening state of the secret realm.
In the first place, he did not worry about General Zhang running away with them as he was sure that the Imperial Teacher would make sure they got their share of the Soul Enhancing Flowers after leaving the secret realm.
Like this, both of them left the north wing of the palace and returned to the throne room where both of the elders were waiting.
