Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei kept coughing blood out of their mouth due to the heavy injuries they suffered that paralyzed their movements. The two monsters looked at each other only to see the frustration and shock in each others' eyes. As when they left Gu Xia City with Zhong Yue, their cultivation base was almost the same, with Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei being even slightly stronger.
But now, with his incredible improvements, Zhong Yue was now already strong enough to compete with King Teng!
"King Teng is the second strongest Rebirth level Qi Practitioner in the entire Xian Kong Saint City. He is almost unkillable, there was once a Qi Practitioner that beheaded him only for it to immediately grow back and in the end. King Teng eventually went on to kill his opponent. Armed with a seemingly immortal body, he would be impervious to any damage that those stronger than him would inflict, forcing his opponents into a battle of attrition until they ultimately lost to him."
