Two figures, one clad in black and the other in white, executed the same martial arts technique. It was a Steel Fist, devoid of any fanciful movements, aimed directly at Wu Tian’s chest.
In the face of their attack, Wu Tian didn’t retreat. What a joke. Even if he stood still and let them hit him, their fists would break long before his chest showed so much as a scratch.
Not only did Wu Tian not retreat, but under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he took a step forward and threw a punch of his own.
BOOM!
The fist of one man against the fists of two.
These two individuals had reached the Sixth Rank or Seventh Grade of the Tongxuan Realm. But under Wu Tian’s fist, their cultivation realms were rendered meaningless.
Instantly, both of their fists burst apart, spraying blood across the ground.
We lost? Gang Feng couldn’t believe it.
Wu Chen couldn’t believe it either, but gritting his teeth, he said, "Benefactor, we have lost. We will return to the Great Bright Temple and won’t linger here any longer. Farewell."
"We’ll meet again someday. We’ve lost and have no face to stay here any longer. Farewell," Gang Feng said similarly, and the two of them turned to leave.
"Heh. I told you. You’re going to die," Wu Tian said. His steps advanced; he was like a demon who, having declared his intent to kill, would surely see it through. Why would he ever spare them?
"You... You’re pushing things too far!" Gang Feng cried out, terrified.
Wu Tian looked as if he had heard the world’s greatest joke and threw his head back to laugh. "You tried to ambush me, so I’m going to kill you. That seems perfectly reasonable, doesn’t it?"
"This... I... I wasn’t involved! Killing me too would be inhuman!" Wu Chen said with resentment.
"I am your father! If I want you dead, how can you not die?" Wu Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his tone ethereal. The word "death," spoken from his lips, carried no killing intent, yet only Gang Feng and Wu Chen, who faced him directly, understood just how terrifying this man was.
"I... I have nothing to do with you! I’m not your son!" Wu Chen stammered, backing away in a panic. "The only kin I acknowledge is the Great Bright Buddha."
Wu Tian simply shook his head. When he wanted someone to die, how could they possibly survive?
Wu Chen and Gang Feng exchanged a glance, then threw the Buddha Beads from around their necks. The beads flew straight toward Wu Tian’s face, their myriad shadows descending like a hail of stones, carrying a force that would make anyone hesitate to face it head-on.
Great Bright Buddha? I’ve never heard of this person during my time in the Immortal Emperor Realm. Presumably, this is a figure who has emerged in the thousands of years since. But then... the Immortal Emperor Realm and Earth aren’t connected. Why are there great scholars here? Because on my first visit, I passed on the doctrines of Confucius and Mencius. Why are there Mechanism Masters? Because I had mentioned Mozi and the Gongshu Clan. And why is there Buddhism? For the same reason—I taught its principles during that same visit. My last ascension to Immortal Emperor was no fluke. It was achieved by embodying numerous beliefs and gaining the recognition of the Heavenly Dao! This Great Bright Buddha... Could it be someone who overheard a few fragments of the Buddhism I taught and then presumed to call himself a Buddha? And look at this Gang Feng and Wu Chen. Do they resemble true monks in the slightest?
"Die," Wu Tian declared, his right fist clenching tightly. A crisp, cracking sound of bone echoed for a moment. Then, under the shocked eyes of the crowd, his fist thundered forward.
Before the stunned onlookers, Wu Tian’s single, invincible punch, carrying the might of a meteor, shattered the Buddha Beads. It struck Wu Chen and drove him back into Gang Feng.
It was a single punch that struck two men. A fierce power exploded at that moment, and Wu Tian’s fist blew a massive hole through both of their chests!
Gang Feng died instantly, but Wu Chen still clung to life.
Hearing the soldiers’ words, Xiao Tiandi’s expression turned extremely ugly. I can’t believe Wu Tian resisted the Mind-Bewildering Powder and refused to obediently become my dog. And to make matters worse, the Heavenly King Pond is ruined? There’s nothing left but ordinary water? This was a case of not only failing to get the chicken but losing the bait as well. A complete double loss. What a joke! What a complete and utter joke!
"COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!" Overcome with anger, Xiao Tiandi coughed so violently that he spat up blood.
Both soldiers were shocked.
"Prince, what’s wrong with you...?"
"We must find an Imperial Physician!"
"Don’t you dare speak of this to anyone," Xiao Tiandi forbade them. The Imperial Physician has no clue what’s wrong with me, and I can feel that my days are numbered. I’m not ready to accept this. If I just had a hundred years to pursue Ye Qingxian, I’m certain I could win her over. But it seems the heavens have always been jealous of genius. Heaven simply doesn’t want me to have a perfect life. I have talent that so many say is second to none. I have power! In this entire region, I stand second to only one man and above tens of thousands. Is that still not enough? Alas, the heavens envy me! I... I have one last thing I must do. I want Ye Qingxian to know that I... I surpass Wu Tian.
His eyes grew fierce, like those of a vengeful ghost. He didn’t have much time left, and he no longer cared about the consequences. He would lead his troops to intercept Wu Tian’s party.
He wanted to exterminate Wu Tian!
"Issue the order! Tell Yuwen Nuo to take his troops and join me in ambushing Wu Tian!"
"This..." The soldiers hesitated. One of them spoke up, "That’s not proper, Prince. Si’er is with them. No matter what, she is the Queen of Xiuyuan Country. We can’t just..."
"Shut up!" Xiao Tiandi snapped. "You don’t understand! Just do as you’re told."
