"Where is the sect master?" Binghe asked as delivered a strike.
The First Elder barely moved as she effortlessly deflected the attack, sending Binghe stumbling backward. "Too weak," she assessed coolly, "Try again."
"How about this!" Disheng's thunderous roar split the air as he descended from above, his massive fists encased in earth armor.
The First Elder simply sidestepped. Disheng's eyes widened in surprise as his trajectory remained unchanged, sending him crashing into the ground.
The First Elder placed her foot deliberately on his stone-encrusted arm. With minimal pressure, the earthen protection shattered like dried clay. "That's quite reckless," she spoke.
"Ke, who's to say?" Disheng replied with a confident smile. Without warning, he channeled his qi directly into the ground beneath the First Elder's feet. Earth energy erupted upward, rapidly encasing her legs up to her knees in solidified stone.
