How was any of them going to fight Jiang Ning at this rate?

Jiang Ning had a photographic memory, so he could remember each person's best moves after just exchanging a few blows with them. And after that last punch, Li Gao was very sure that he was definitely no match for Jiang Ning.

Since he knew that fighting Jiang Ning would only lead to death, why should he do such a thing?

Li Gao didn't want to die. Nobody did!

"You useless piece of trash!" spat Luo Long without holding back. "Sure, you don't want to die. But did you think we want to?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Did you think that all our disciples and fellow sect members wanted to die?"

He continued to roar angrily, "If we don't kill him today, then we are the ones who are going to die!"

Since they were going to die either way,

then they should give it their best shot when they had a chance of possibly surviving. He didn't see why he should give up.

Luo Long was very agitated because Tianlian Sect had paid a very high price to reach this stage. They weren't going to give up so easily.

But before he could continue speaking, the Buddha Sect elder took two steps back as well.

The Qiankun Sect elder also retreated.

"You...all of you!" Luo Long's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that all of them had actually given up.

They were faced with only one Jiang Ning! Could it be that they couldn't fight their way in just because one Jiang Ning was blocking their way? Impossible!

They still had men in the north, in the south...there was definitely a point where they could breakthrough and annihilate everyone in Qingshan Sect! "Luo Long, it's not that we're afraid to die." The Buddha Sect elder looked deeply at Jiang Ning. "It's just that it's impossible for us to get in from here. How many of their disciples were still standing right now?

They knew that Jiang Ning must have planted others at the other points of attack to cut down their strength by now.

"We have other points of entry!" roared Luo Long. "As long as we hold him down, we'll make it! I'm very sure that Qingshan Sect doesn't have anybody else as highly skilled as him!"

The Buddha Sect elder shook his head.

This was a man who could grasp Vajra Fist in minutes, and his prowess wasn't any weaker than the elders who had spent decades perfecting their martial arts abilities. What did that mean? As long as Qingshan Sect was protected by such a person, they didn't stand a chance at all.

They weren't afraid to die. They had lived long ago and were prepared to go anytime. But they didn't want to lead the rest of their disciples to their deaths.

Since they knew that the road ahead led to death, continuing down this path was foolishness.

"Let's go back down the mountain first." Li Gao eyed Jiang Ning. "Let the sect leaders discuss what to do first.

"If they decide to make another attack, we'll come back again."

He looked at Jiang Ning and felt a deep sense of helplessness. This was the first time he felt this way in his entire life.

But this first experience made him feel completely defeated. He couldn't even bring himself to fight back.

Besides Luo Long, all the other elders decided to descend the mountain for the time being.

After all, if they continued fighting, it would only end with them dying, while Jiang Ning might not even get injured.

Jiang Ning was just standing there with no threatening aura around him at all, but his presence was still fear inducing.

"You..." Luo Long gritted his teeth and his body was trembling.

He wanted to keep fighting even if he had to die in the process. But now that everyone else had decided to back out, there was no way he could fight Jiang Ning all by himself.

"Jiang Ning," said the Buddha Sect elder. "Alkof us will go back down first. If our sect leaders decide that they still want to fight Qingshan Sect to the very end, we'll come back and settle our feud once and for all."

He had lost today.

He had to admit it.

"Qiankun Sect will do the same thing."

"Me too."

"Me too."

All the elders were of the same opinion.

They had joined hands to fight Jiang Ning but they didn't gain the upper hand at all. Instead, they faced the possibility of being killed by Jiang Ning! This was an insult to them!

"If you want to fight, I'll fight," said Jiang Ning.

Qingshan Sect was the only barrier between the rest of the mountain and the mountain gate. Regardless of their motivations, as long as they wanted to get rid of this last barrier, Jiang Ning wasn't going to sit still and let them do that.

He knew that nobody was really in the wrong and everyone had their own point of view.
