"You brat, you have the guts to mess with us?" a tall, thin young man in a gray robe said menacingly, glaring at Darren.
"Ha-ha. You bastard, I was following you secretly! You're really a fool, didn't even notice me! I can't believe you even dared come here. You're digging your own grave," Henry said smugly. His cheek where his ear had been cut off was swollen. So when he laughed, he looked rather creepy.
Darren began to check the strength of Henry's companions and found out that they were just at the Primary Realm and some of them possessed strong Spirit Power.
"Darren, it's not a good idea for you to fight them. I'm afraid that you will break through if you activate any of your spiritual energy. Leave them to me," Elsa whispered. She took a step forward and unleashed all of her sword intent.
"I can take care of these losers with my blade in a minute. Now that you want to teach them a lesson, I'll leave them to you. Be careful. They are rule cultivators, so they might have some special skills," Darren warned her.
Elsa nodded her head, preparing to unleash some moves against them.
Noticing that Elsa had stepped in front of Darren, the people of the Medicine Pavilion laughed out loud.
"You son of a bitch, you even got a woman to protect you! You're a coward!"
"She's certainly a special girl, isn't she? This brat is so lucky!" one of them said lewdly. "Hey, sweetie, this loser will get you in trouble sooner or later. Why don't you hang out with me? I'll make sure you'll have a good time every night. Ha-ha."
"Go to hell!" Elsa shouted, her face turning dark.
Taking a deep breath, she charged towards them. 'I can handle these losers without using my sword, ' she thought.
The gray-robed young man who outranked the rest snorted and instructed his crew, "Come on, just a girl at the Spirit Realm. Go take her."
A couple of men around him started to move. They got into a formation and made mysterious gestures to form some special handprints.
Upon seeing this, Darren had a bad gut feeling.
When Elsa stretched out her palm to attack them, a soft force entered her body and counteracted the power in her palm. And meanwhile, several wind daggers came at her.
'Rule cultivators are good at using the natural forces to attack people. Looks like I can't underestimate them, ' Darren concluded as he observed the fight.
Elsa couldn't see the wind daggers, but she could detect something was approaching. Instinctively, she rapidly moved aside to dodge the attack. The wall behind her was hit by the wind daggers and fell to pieces instantly.
Elsa narrowed her eyes and became even more alert. Taking notice of their strange attack, she reminded herself to be focus. This time, she drew her sword and released strong sword intent.
"Get lost before it's too late. I don't want to take your lives," Elsa said icily.
"What's this? It's sword intent!" several stronger rule cultivators murmured, furrowing their eyebrows.
It was evident that they were slightly afraid of powerful sword intent Elsa had unleashed.
"What a surprise! You even mastered sword intent. I underestimated you, sweetie. But you still can't hurt us a bit. Guys, get in formation!" the tall, thin young man in charge shouted, staring at Elsa with a playful look in his eyes.
Darren didn't plan to join the fight for he had full confidence in Elsa's strength. Most importantly, he was curious about rule cultivators and wanted to know more about their skills. 'If Elsa is at a disadvantage, I will come to her aid, ' he thought.
A few seconds later, the disciples of the Medicine Pavilion had assumed a hexagram-shaped formation.
"Flames Burning!" shouted the gray-robed young man as he stood in the middle.
Scorching flames appeared under their feet, flowed together and formed a hexagram-shaped fire circle.
'They utilized Fire Rule, ' Darren thought, memorizing the gestures those rule cultivators had formed.
All of a sudden, Elsa wielded her sword towards her enemies. At the same time, a tremendous blast of sword intent came at them too.
With their eyes closed, the rule cultivators stood still. As they made faster gestures, the fire circle gave off a flash dazzling light and moved towards Elsa at rapid speed.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Flames collided with sword intent in the air. After a few moments, fire rained down and dissolved the stone wall nearby.
Influenced by the impact, Elsa took a step backward. However, she waved her sword, unleashing overwhelmingly powerful sword intent. Having done this, she dashed towards the tall, thin young man in an attempt to cut his throat.
Her target let out a defiant snort and said fiercely, "Earth Formation!"
The rule cultivators swiftly got into another formation.
