Although Phoebe was born with exceptional talent and reached the Core Formation Realm at a young age, herck of realbat experience made her vulnerable.
When facing opponents weaker than herself, she could easily crush them.
However, L was different. He had the ability to fight against opponents stronger than himself and had been through many battles that gave him an edge over Phoebe.
Especially after his trip to Iylonio and learning about his parents’ tragic fate, L’s inner demons were unleashed, making him even more formidable in battle. When he threw his axe at Phoebe, she quickly gathered her focus and parried it with her sword.
ng!
The sound of metal shing echoed as she felt a shockwave through her hand. In the next moment, a bloody figure charged towards her with murderous intent that shook Phoebe to the core.
“Get back!” Without hesitation, she pushed L away with all her might using one hand while drawing out her sword with the other.
But L sneered as he punched towards Phoebe’s palm like a missile colliding head-on with another missile.
Phoebe’s delicate eyebrows furrowed as she felt her palm colliding with an oing train-like force. She gritted her teeth, and her right hand, holding the sword, swiftly moved to stab towards L’s neck.
However, L’s sharp gaze flickered with brilliance, and instead of retreating, he advanced, crashing directly into Phoebe.
After having his soul supplemented by the Dragon Ancestor’s Soul, L’s spiritual power surpassed that of ordinary cultivators at the same level. This mental strength manifested in his abnormal reaction speed and insightful understanding of the battlefield duringbat.
As a result, Phoebe’s sword attack missed its mark, leaving her vulnerable.

L’s shoulder, carrying terrifying force, ruthlessly collided with Phoebe’s chest, showing no mercy. Phoebe’s body was sent flying, blood spraying wildly in the air. Uponnding, she spat out another mouthful of blood, attempting to stand up with difficulty.
Her entire being appeared frail and listless.
This scene shocked everyone present once again, and they involuntarily gasped in cold air. The confrontation between L and Phoebe seemed lengthy when described, but in reality, it took just a blink of an eye. In just three moves, Phoebe was sent flying and heavily injured, coughing up blood.
Savannah’s mouth twitched as she watched the figure, feeling suddenly unfamiliar. The man she had previously dismissed as having a powerful background but dull aptitude turned out to be so formidable and terrifying. A mere peak Uppecia could overpower a mid-stage Core Formation? Was this the terror of a Perfect Uppecia? Was this the strength behind L?
In her heart, Savannah silently remarked…
Benjamin, Finn, and Nathaniel, all in the early stage of Core Formation, exchanged nces, seeing both fear and relief on each other’s faces. Thanks to Nathaniel’s warning earlier, they refrained from acting. Otherwise, even if they teamed up with Phoebe, the odds of victory would be questionable.
Theodore and the two disciples trembled, panic overwhelming them. Theodore recalled his previous intention to join forces with Arlo and target Landon and Callum, realizing Phoebe’s interventions had inadvertently saved Arlo. Now, they dared not make any sudden moves, fearing it might attract L’s attention.
L approached Phoebe step by step, surrounded by a dense aura of killing intent. Phoebe bit her lip and asked L, “Are you… going to kill me?”
“Landon!”
At this moment, Savannah snapped back to her senses and urgently called out to L, her tone subtly carrying a hint of dissuasion.
L walked up to Phoebe, and upon hearing Savannah’s shout, the murderous intent in his starry eyes slightly diminished. In the next moment, he sneered and addressed Phoebe, “I’m a fair person! I’ll repay others the way they treat me. Arlo kicked me, so I kicked him back. So…”
Here, L turned and walked towards the direction of the volcano. Standing at the edge, he pointed down below, saying, “Now, I’ll give you two choices! One, jump down and help me divert the Otherworldly Beast. Two, I kill you!”
Hearing this, a mocking expression appeared on Phoebe’s exquisite face. Was this a case of tit for tat? She had used him as a pawn, forcing him to jump down and attract the Otherworldly Beast. Now, it seemed he was turning the tables on her.
“If you can kill me, then go ahead!” Phoebe stared at L, gritting her teeth with resentment. At this moment, she felt a sense of frustration and indescribable shame. The man she had once dismissed with disdain now seemed to hold her life in his hands. Despite the internal turmoil, her pride kept her from bowing down and bing L’s “pawn.”
“Alright! I’ll just throw your corpse down, maybe it can also attract the Otherworldly Beast!” L nodded expressionlessly upon hearing Phoebe’s defiance.
Roar!
Just at that moment, a roar filled with ferocity echoed from below the volcano.
L sneered and was about to attack Phoebe when she, now relieved, stood up again, ready to fight to the death with him.
However, at this critical moment,ughter rang out. “Hehehe… Hahaha… So many people! So many people here! Fun, really fun!”
With theughter, a figure rushed up to the mountaintop, swiftly approaching. Upon closer inspection, it was a raggedly dressed, seemingly mad old man.
Seeing this old man, L’s expression changed slightly.
Unfathomable!
Despite the apparentck of sanity, L felt as if he was facing a bottomless abyss, unable to discern the depth of the old man. More shockingly, the old man headed directly towards the spot where L stood.
“Damn it! Old lunatic, what are you up to?” L tugged at the corner of his mouth, a sh of uncertainty crossing his face. He initially thought the old man was mindlessly rushing, but as L shifted his position, the old man adjusted his course, still heading straight for L.
“What the hell…” L’s pupils contracted, letting out a cry of astonishment. At the same time, he threw a punch at the old man, intending to stop him from approaching.
However…
