Li Xian learned about the five bandit leaders from Uncle Fu and couldn't help but furrow his brows, contemplating the current situation.
The most troublesome was none other than the first leader, Ma Daozi. This man had already entered the "Essence-Eating" stage, and it was heard that he had recently consumed Essence Food, elevating his power significantly. Should he attack, Black River Village would find it difficult to withstand.
Although Li Xian had made progress lately, if he were to confront him head-on, the odds might not be in his favor.
Next came the second, fifth, and fourth leaders... each one more ferocious than the last.
"For now, the only course is to adapt to circumstances. Essence-Eating Martial Artists are indeed formidable, but with strategic use of terrain and preemptive planning... it might still be possible to kill them!"
