Leyvi contemplated.

He can't fight this old fart on the ground because that would give him advantages as an Earth-attributed cultivator.

Anda's scent would need some time to work on a stronger opponent and they were moving fast now so it's not feasible.

He can't wait for Lilian because she might still be fighting against that woman. Even if Lilian can't beat her, she should be able to defend herself.

Furthermore, he had been using his rocket flight for a while now, expending lots of his Qi, and it was almost depleted. Leyvi felt that he should start fighting this old man when his Qi was fully replenished as fleeing for longer doesn't seem feasible anymore.

Leyvi focused on his spiritual sense and determined that Lilian wasn't in his range. He can't wait anymore.

"Anda! Make that firewall again!" Leyvi instructed. At the same time, Leyvi charged all of his Qi to his right hand. Leyvi's Qi depleted and triggered the daily Qi replenish benefit filling his Qi to the max again.

Anda immediately understood that Leyvi had a plan so she made an especially sturdy firewall this time.

"Kekeke..Idiot! It won't work anymore, cough!" Old Bong sneered as he rammed the firewall.

His Earth Armor shattered partly from the collision and exposed his upper body. Old Bong cursed the sturdy firewall and was repairing his Earth Armor again but suddenly, he felt a terrifying power approaching him.

"Shit!" He reacted.

Big Bang Rocket Punch!

BOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!

Old Bong was sent flying from the explosive punch.

Leyvi realized that his Qi detonation had become stronger after his breakthrough.

The next moment, Old Bong appeared again. His ugly face was furious. Blood flowed from his shattered teeth and his broken nose.

"Byaaatt! I'm gonya kiyy youuu!! Cough!!" Old Bong couldn't speak properly anymore.

Old Bong summoned his Earth Armor again and swept his stonish hand at Levyi. As a Core Formation expert, Old Bong naturally has the agility, speed, and strength advantages over a Foundation Building realm like Leyvi. Therefore, it was too late for Leyvi to dodge Old Bong's attack, and he could only meet his attack with another attack.

Big Bang Elbow!

BOOOMMMM!

Old Bong's attack smacked Leyvi away but fortunately, he was only injured slightly. Meanwhile, Leyvi's elbow attack shattered Old Bong's arm Earth Armor.

Leyvi smiled. This old fart was not as strong as the Demonic Gorilla. He was worried for nothing. It was more than enough to execute this plan if he could buy some time fighting the old man.

Leyvi immediately sent a sound transmission to Anda explaining his plan.

On the other side, Old Bong was shocked at Leyvi's durability. He didn't talk anymore because his mouth was a mess. What kind of monster is this kid? He had killed many Foundation Building cultivators throughout his life but no one was this strange.

"Hahaha! Old fart. You aren't that strong. I should have fought you earlier!" Leyvi taunted Old Bong.

Dammit! How dare this kid look down on me! I'll show you the true power of a Core Formation realm! Old Bong decided to go all out by making his Earth Armor bigger and giving it more power.

At the same time, Leyvi activated his Fiery Trailblazer Body to the fullest. His Qi was accumulating and charging all parts of his body.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Leyvi charged at Old Bong first attacking his Earth Armor.

Bing Bang Punch! Big Bang Knee! Big Bang Gatling!

Booomm! Booommmm! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOMM!!!

Old Bong's Earth Armor was slowly being destroyed by Leyvi's continuous attack. Suddenly another pair of big Stonish Arms appeared from his back grabbing Leyvi and pressing him to the stonish chest.

"Kekeke! Kid, you were fooled. What you attacked was my fake arms! Now die!" Old Bong sent a sound transmission to Leyvi announcing his victory.

He hugged Leyvi as hard as possible trying to crush him to death.

Leyvi instantly felt a huge force on his body. Even with his tempered body, he wouldn't last for long.

"ANDA NOW!" Leyvi screamed with all his might.

Anda hesitated but she saw Leyvi's eye. She knew exactly what those eyes represented.

Absolute confidence!

Anda no longer hesitated and gave a signal to Little Fiery who was already floating on top of Leyvi and Old Bong.

Little Fiery was happy Anda needed its power.

Pillar of Refinement!

BOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

A large pillar of fire could be seen once again from Bara City. Last time it appeared from Bara Volcano therefore people thought it was a volcanic eruption. However, the fire pillar appeared from the northeast this time. It made them a bit worried.

The large explosion didn't hurt Anda because she was immune to Little Fiery's power but the shockwave still sent her flying away from the pillar.

This time, the fire pillar didn't last as long as the previous one because Little Fiery had stopped it. All the trees and plants in the area disintegrated and the earth was charred.

Anda who had stabilized herself immediately searched for Leyvi and she found him stuck in the charred ground.

"Leyvi!" She was worried about Leyvi and landed directly next to him. Little Fiery quickly returned into Anda's body.

Anda pulled Leyvi out of his hole and held him in her arms.

"Ouch ouch ouch! Anda, darling, that old fart broke my spine, feed me elixir, hurry." Leyvi was fine.

He came up with this plan because he was immune to fire. He distracted Old Bong with his Fiery Traiblazer Body and attacked him aggressively so he couldn't notice the Little Fiery positioning itself above them. Just like Anda, the explosion didn't hurt him but he was blasted into the ground.

Leyvi and Anda both knew exactly how powerful Little Fiery was from the last incident with the former City Lord Magna. Old Bong wouldn't be able to survive that.

Anda fed the top-grade Medium Healing Elixir to Leyvi. She didn't care if a low-grade one was enough to heal Leyvi, she would still give him the best one.

Leyvi was quickly healed. He inspected his body and was intrigued.

"Hmm, I'm not naked," Leyvi said.

"Why? Do you have an exhibitionist fetish or something? Layla would be happy to have a fellow fetisher." Anda joked.

Leyvi rolled his eyes. This time their role reversed. Usually, he would make Anda roll her eyes.

"My fire immunity was applied to my clothes too. I was expecting to be naked at first. This talent bead is really omnipotent." Leyvi explained.

Anda was curious too. She hoped Leyvi would get more powerful benefits.

"Oh shit! Let's go help the others. I hope they are fine." Leyvi suddenly remembered Lilian and the rest.

Leyvi quickly flew in Lilian's direction followed by Anda while consuming top-grade Qi Replenishing Pills to recover his Qi as he might have to fight again.

However, after he flew a short distance, he sensed Lilian in his spiritual sense. Leyvi was instantly relieved. This meant that everyone was safe.

Not long later, Leyvi and Anda met with Lilian. She told Leyvi that everyone was alive. Lilian also gave Leyvi the whip spirit weapon she got from Carom.

"Hmm, this whip was designed for a Fire-attributed cultivator. You want it Anda?" Leyvi asked. For some reason, he felt that Anda would look good with a whip.

"No. I can conjure a fire whip myself, why would I need that? Give it to Tasya." Anda suggested.

"Alright. Let's go back to the tunnel. They must be worried." Leyvi said. Suddenly he felt fatigued all over his body now that this was over.

Along the way, Lilian excitedly described how she defeated Carom to Leyvi and Anda. Although Leyvi had assumed that many cultivators might not know about spiritual pressure, he was still surprised after being told by Lilian.

"Oh shit! I totally forgot about this when we were running. Thankfully that old fart didn't know about spiritual pressure too or we might have died." Leyvi suddenly realized and he started sweating.

Even Anda had a face of realization and looked worried. They had not factored spiritual pressure into their plan at all. Thankfully luck was on their side this time. They had experienced spiritual pressure from Lilian previously, so they knew a Core Formation expert who could use this ability would be extremely strong.

Soon, they reached the tunnel entrance, traveled a few kilometers, and met with everyone again. Some were happy and some were tired. Hana was back to being a chatterbox and told the other maids about the fight with Mamba enthusiastically.

Leyvi and the party continued their journey again. For safety, Scarlet pulled the carriages in the tunnel for dozens more kilometers before they resurfaced again and let Mr. Bison take over the position.

.....

Somewhere outside of Leyvi's spiritual sense range,

Linda was still amazed by what she had seen. She was here to help them but it didn't seem like she was needed.

She knew Valenia before and there was no information about her ability to use Sword Intent. Did Anda know about this when she chose her as Alchemic Knight?

Furthermore, that Core Formation girl knew about spiritual pressure. She was aware of this information only because she was a high-ranked member of the Treasure Pavilion.

That destructive Special Fire, the husband that could fight against a Core Formation and be immune to fire. Who are these people?

Linda was highly curious.
