Great Elder Sun Ao was afraid, something that had not happened to him since he became the Body Refining Grand Elder.
Even when facing Elder Shi Ming and Elder You Xia, he could handle them with composure; he might not be able to defeat these two Great Elders, but they could not defeat him either.
He had always thought that in the Golden Core Stage, he was the pinnacle of combat strength, especially unbeatable in close combat.
But now, he had been defeated by a Golden Core Realm alchemy master who was only at the Golden Core Middle Stage.
No longer did he harbor any thoughts of capturing Li Shiming; how could Li Shiming be so easily caught? In close combat, he couldn't even get a touch of Li Shiming's shadow.
Great Elder Sun Ao once again used a secret technique; this time, his target was the outer formation.
His vitality surged, and after a short burst, he appeared beside the formation's protective barrier.
