Soldier to soldier, general to general, third-rank facing third-rank.
The two third-rank cultivators of Yuxu Temple were matched up with Manjusri and the Immortal Queen, and both sides still adhered to some unspoken rules, not excessively targeting anyone below third-rank, at least as far as Yuxu Temple was concerned.
Should they recklessly target the younger generation of Yuxu Temple, even if the other party defended with all their might, casualties were inevitable. That would lead to an equivalent retaliation from the two third-rank cultivators of Yuxu Temple.
Everyone had a foundation to protect; without a certain kill, they would still avoid such situations.
At least their primary target was Jiang Li, not Yuxu Temple.
Above the ruined peak where Jiang Li was, the heavens and earth grew dark, the sound of the wind howled like ghosts and gods, twirling into a massive vortex that descended from the sky like a funnel, drilling towards Jiang Li's Heavenly Spirit.
