Just now, he and Tian Xueyang had exchanged many blows and though it appeared that neither party had been injured, neither of them had an upper hand as well.
It was clearly displayed in how Tian Xueyang was even able to timely rescue Xiao Ming from Guo Cheng's sneak attack and how he had been able to easily return to Bai Yuesha's side without harm.
One must not forget that he and Tian Xueyang were respectively Demi Immortal and Yang King.
Yet, in this battle, they had been evenly matched, like two tigers circling each other on the same mountain!
This sort of event was too humiliating for the purple-robed Daoist considering the way he thought of himself as an expert among other Demi Immortals.
Now he was only equal in power to an unknown Yang King.
It was extremely vexing for him even though he didn't get to use full power because he was on guard against being surrounded by Bai Qing and the others who might throw caution to the wind and gang up on their weaker side.
