As Joe Di approached, the young man in the golden robe noticed him, but there was no trace of hope for rescue in his eyes. He kept his head down, continuing to battle the Elemental Beasts.
Clearly, he didn't believe Joe Di would intervene to save him.
More than two hundred Elemental Beasts would have been a major problem for Joe Di before his Dao Forging breakthrough. Even if he wanted to help, he would have needed to set up numerous defensive arrays first.
But now, Joe Di didn’t even hesitate. The Azure Veil Blade swept out, unleashing a curtain of blade arcs.
Before his Dao Forging, Joe Di’s Skyveil Blade technique could only produce a single blade arc. Now, he could conjure seven or eight overlapping curtains of blades.
Clouds of dull-colored blood mist erupted, and swathes of Elemental Beasts were slaughtered by Joe Di’s interwoven Skyveil Blade technique.
More Elemental Beasts reacted, abandoning their siege of the golden-robed youth and turning their fury toward Joe Di.
Yet Joe Di did not retreat in the slightest. The Azure Veil Blade continued to unleash blade arcs, and with each strike, an Elemental Beast was felled to the ground.
As for the occasional blade light or water arrow that struck him, Joe Di couldn’t have cared less. Others might fear Elemental Beast Venom and not dare to fight like this, but to him, it was nothing.
The golden-robed youth was stunned. In all his time within the Grand Ruins, he had never seen anyone as fierce as Joe Di.
