Chapter 2126: Caught Off Guard

Facing the first batch of beasts, the Dao One Immortal Sect crowd easily killed them.

However, they weren't given any time to rest; the beast herd behind immediately followed, charging forward without hesitation.

This is also one of the terrifying aspects of the beast race.

Compared to humans, they are less prone to fear; even seeing their companions ahead being killed, the beast race behind still charges forward without fear of death.

Facing the beast herd's attack like waves, the Dao One Immortal Sect crowd was not at all panicked.

After all, led by a group of venerables, everyone was a renowned powerhouse from the Immortal Realm for many years.

They have experienced countless battles in their lives, naturally including experience fighting the beast race.

As for the beast race's habits, one could say they understood them completely.

The great battle had already erupted, and at this moment the Elephant Ancestor also arrived above the battlefield.

Exuding a terrifying aura from his whole body, looking down at the Dao One Immortal Sect crowd madly slaughtering the beast race below, the Elephant Ancestor's face was expressionless, his eyes indifferent.

He didn't even take these casualties to heart.

Don't look at how these Dao One Immortal Sect people are now jumping about in joy; but once it makes a move, these humans won't be able to stir up any waves.

Thinking this, the Elephant Ancestor immediately prepared to strike.

But just then, a human figure mysteriously appeared ahead and struck down with a palm.

His heart sank; that powerful aura caused the Elephant Ancestor to instinctively react, blocking this attack.

However, due to lack of prior preparation, it was still shaken back over a thousand meters by this palm.

Faced with such attack power, the Elephant Ancestor's expression turned grim as he looked at the comer, his eyes full of icy coldness and doubt, gritting his teeth he said:

"It's you.............."

The one who struck was none other than Zuo Fu, and from the Elephant Ancestor's reaction it was obvious he knew him.

This is natural, after all in history the beast race of the Wuji Shanmai has more than once tried to sweep away the Wuji Xiancheng.

But because the Wuji Xiancheng is one of the twenty-four immortal cities of the Immortal Realm, it was formed naturally by heaven and earth.

It cannot be built by human effort, so the human race naturally would not easily give it up.

Therefore, throughout history, countless battles have erupted between the human race and the beast race around the Wuji Xiancheng.

The final result was that the beast race could not take the Wuji Xiancheng, while the human race dared not venture deep into the Wuji Shanmai, and thus the two sides maintained this balance.

These years, the beast race has been secretly oppressing the Wuji Xiancheng, but has not dealt a fatal blow, also for this reason.

They take whatever advantage they can, but they also know that if they drive the Wuji Xiancheng to desperation and invite a powerful human expert to hold the fort, the beast race might not even get this small advantage.

So the beast race's current attitude toward the Wuji Xiancheng is to constantly exploit it, yet leave some leeway.

But at this moment, Zuo Fu appeared here, and the Elephant Ancestor's first thought was that the humans must have some scheme again.

Either the Wuji Xiancheng is playing tricks behind the scenes, or this Dao One Immortal Sect is problematic from start to finish.

It's not simply a newly established sect at all; rather, behind the humans there is some plot.

Facing the doubts, the bewildered Elephant Ancestor, Zuo Fu remained calm, even showing a faint smile as he said:

"How come, seeing me has you this agitated? You wretched beast."

"Seek death."

Hearing this, the Elephant Ancestor instantly flew into a rage, without further ado stomping his foot down toward Zuo Fu.

That foot, as huge as a mountain, covered the sky and blotted out the sun over Zuo Fu, wishing to trample him into mincemeat.

Facing the Elephant Ancestor's attack, Zuo Fu neither dodged nor evaded, sacrificing a long sword, which was his natal magic weapon.

With one sword swing, a huge sword light shot straight up to the heavens, colliding fiercely with that enormous elephant foot.

The terrifying aftershocks surged wildly, but were all blocked by the sealed space, not spreading out, nor affecting anyone else on the battlefield.

In this head‑on clash, neither side gained an advantage; for this result, neither the Elephant Ancestor nor Zuo Fu felt strange.

After all, they are old rivals, having crossed blades many times; everyone knows their own weight, and it's certainly not something that can be decided by a single move.

However, regarding this result, Zuo Fu's and the Elephant Ancestor's reactions were completely different.

Zuo Fu's face remained unchanged, his heart calm; in contrast, the Elephant Ancestor's face grew so dark it seemed about to drip water.

This was the result of their expectations being completely different.

The Elephant Ancestor was unaware of Zuo Fu's existence; from beginning to end he felt this battle should be easy, thinking a newly established human sect could never withstand him.

But with Zuo Fu's appearance, the situation instantly changed.

With Zuo Fu blocking him, the Elephant Ancestor can now be said to have no energy left to intervene in the battle; just dealing with Zuo Fu already forces him to exert his full strength.

This was a move that caught it off guard.

"Why are you here? This time, what schemes do you humans have again? Or are you planning to wage war against my Wuji Shanmai once more?"

The Elephant Ancestor questioned coldly.

In its mind, it had already decided that from the moment the Dao One Immortal Sect appeared, it was a plot by the humans behind the scenes.

As for what exactly they were plotting, it didn't know, but it was certainly ulterior.

But don't forget, the Wuji Shanmai is not limited to just this one Beast Ancestor; if the humans want to make any big move in the Wuji Shanmai, relying solely on Zuo Fu is still not enough.

However, to this, Zuo Fu's reply was as follows.

"You overthink it; I am merely representing the Dao One Immortal Sect, and I am now a venerable of the Dao One Immortal Sect."

"Huh???"

"Venerable??? Upon hearing this, the Elephant Ancestor didn't believe a word; what kind of person is Zuo Fu, to come to such a small sect as a venerable?"

"It's practically treating him as an idiot; thus, upon saying this, the Elephant Ancestor became furious beyond restraint, striking out violently while shouting angrily:"

"Despicable human, do you take me for a three‑year‑old? Die!"

In the Elephant Ancestor's view, Zuo Fu's words were nothing short of treating him as a complete idiot.

"You, a supreme human expert, appearing here—how could it possibly be without ulterior motive?"

One by one, small sects—could they make you kneel and enter, becoming a minor attendant?

Above the sky, Zuo Fu and the Elephant Ancestor fought fiercely together, and without the Elephant Ancestor's intimidation, on the battlefield below, the Dao One Immortal Sect's crowd also had no more reservations.

Just concentrate your energy on dealing with the beast herd, and that's enough.

Even if there are some powerful beast tribes among them, don't forget—these over ten thousand attendants of the Dao One Immortal Sect are no ordinary lot.

Each one is a renowned figure of the Immortal Realm, so those powerful beast tribes, before everyone, still cannot gain any benefit.

The situation has completely deviated from the beast tribe's expectations.

That beast tide, surging like a tide, was actually steadied blocked by the Dao One Immortal Sect's crowd, with not even a sign of being able to break through.

And in the fierce battle, the inexperienced attendants also transmitted their doubts via voice.

「Right, this great battle is fierce—how are we supposed to go eat? 」

「Yeah, I can't get away. 」

「The food is right in front of us, yet we have no time to eat—what should we do? No one earlier said how to eat; could it be that we're not allowed to leave on our own? 」

「This probably isn't proper. 」
