Zhu Zheng's words were like a stone thrown into a pool, instantly causing the already tense atmosphere to boil over to its peak.
Under the witness of history, a once-in-a-lifetime showdown quietly began.
Wu Tian, a talented young man, will face the two heroes of the Dragon Capture Hall—Luo Lie, a fifth-rank Qi fortune master, and Zhu Zheng, a sixth-rank mighty White Tiger Hall master. These two are unparalleled in the martial arts world and their reputations resound throughout the land. Now, however, they have joined forces to assassinate a rising star.
Their names alone are enough to stir up a storm in the martial arts world, and now that they all point to one person, it adds a touch of tragedy and legend.
Even if Wu Tian were to die in battle, his name would still resound throughout the heavens and become a celebrated tale for future generations.
The onlookers' eyes were filled with a complex mix of anger and deep sympathy and sorrow.
Imagine how brilliant and splendid Wu Tian's future would have been if he hadn't provoked such a behemoth as the Dragon Capture Hall.
Faced with the overwhelming pressure from the two powerful figures, Wu Tian remained steadfast like a pine tree on a cliff edge, unfazed by the storm.
His gaze was calm and deep, occasionally flashing with disdain, as he calmly said, "If you want war, then let's fight. No need for nonsense!"
These words, like the sound of a morning bell and evening drum, echoed in the empty sports center, resonating in the hearts of everyone present.
Wu Tian's demeanor drew everyone's attention. To remain so composed in the face of a peerless master was truly remarkable.
Zhu Zheng and Luo Lie exchanged a glance, their figures transforming into lightning speed, instantly traversing vast distances, like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, heading straight for Wu Tian.
His robes fluttered in the wind, creating a rustling sound, and his surroundings swirled with energy, revealing his profound inner strength.
However, Wu Tian showed no fear, and instead a smile appeared on his lips, adding to his unruly demeanor.
He lightly touched the ground with his feet, as light as a swallow, and easily dodged the first round of attacks in the blink of an eye. His movements were fluid and graceful, dancing with the air, and his whereabouts were hard to find.
"Hmph, a mere sixth-rank martial artist dares to be so insolent in front of me?" Wu Tian's cold voice echoed in the air, carrying a hint of disdain and mockery.
With a slight twitch of his fingers, an invisible force surged from his body, instantly distorting the surrounding space and causing Zhu Zheng and Luo Lie's attacks to miss their mark.
This scene caused Zhu and Luo's expressions to change drastically, as they could hardly believe that Wu Tian possessed such strength.
But as experts from the Dragon Capture Hall, they naturally wouldn't easily admit defeat.
Immediately, the two adjusted their mindset, worked in perfect harmony, and joined forces once again, launching an even more ferocious offensive, determined to overwhelm Wu Tian in a storm.
However, Wu Tian moved like a ghost through the subtle gaps in his opponent's attacks, each dodge precise to the millimeter, easily neutralizing what could have been a fatal blow.
His gaze was sharp, like a hawk soaring in the sky, constantly watching Zhu Zheng and Luo Lie's every subtle move, searching for that fleeting opportunity to strike back.
"Hmph, if this is all you've got, today is the day your lives end!" Wu Tian's lips curled into a cold smile. His figure suddenly shot up, transforming into a streak of black light, as swift as lightning, and rushed straight towards Zhu Zheng.
The speed seemed to tear through the air, exceeding the reaction limits of the two, leaving behind a blur.
He knew that Zhu Zheng's cultivation level was high, and as long as Zhu Zheng was dealt with, Luo Lie would be no threat.
Zhu Zheng was horrified and tried his best to use his knowledge to withstand the storm-like attack.
But faced with Wu Tian's unshakeable strength, his resistance seemed so insignificant, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly powerless.
With a deafening boom, like metal striking stone, the two men's palms collided violently in mid-air.
It unleashed astonishing energy, and the shockwave spread out like ripples, shaking the surrounding space.
This was merely the prelude to the confrontation. Wu Tian's palm strikes, carrying the force of autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves, were relentless and relentless, causing Zhu Zheng to stagger and lose his balance.
However, this was not the end of their fight. Wu Tian's palm strike was like an autumn wind, causing Zhu Zheng to stagger backward.
Zhu's face was pale, and a drop of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered severe internal injuries.
Zhu Zheng stared wide-eyed at Wu Tian in disbelief.
He had never seen such a powerful opponent before. Even within the Dragon Capture Hall, there were very few experts who could rival him.
However, amidst his shock, a cunning and sinister glint crept onto his brow, and a strange, cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth. He said in a low, sinister voice, "Wu Tian, although you are strong, you are not smart enough. You have lost..."
No one could afford to ignore a fifth-rank martial artist. At this moment, a storm of energy, accompanied by a howling sound, surged towards Wu Tian's left.
At the same time, Jin Lingyun cried out in fright, "Junior brother, be careful—"
Wu Tian glanced coldly at Zhu Zheng, his voice filled with mockery and disdain, and said, "Is that so? You dare to show off your petty skills before an expert? How utterly laughable!"
His figure stood motionless amidst Luo Lie's energy storm. His expression remained unchanged as he freed one hand and casually moved it upwards to meet the energy storm head-on, displaying an aura of dominance over the world.
With a deafening roar, the heavens and earth changed color. Wu Tian's palm strike and Luo Lie's force collided violently, creating ripples in the space. It was as if even the air itself was trembling, and the surrounding scenery was shaking as if it were about to be swallowed up by this power.
Staggering amidst this unprecedented torrent of energy, none retreated. Their gazes pierced through layers of air currents, locked onto the heart of the storm, yearning to witness the ultimate answer to this epic showdown.
As the dust settled, the truth gradually came to light—Wu Tian, with one arm reaching for the sky, steadily restrained Zhu Zheng with his right palm, while his left palm effortlessly neutralized Luo Lie's ferocious attack.
His face was cold and aloof, with a hint of indifferent disdain hidden between his brows, making it difficult for people to see the turmoil in his heart.
In contrast, Zhu Zheng and Luo Lie were as pale as paper, with blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, painting a poignant picture of defeat. Clearly, they had suffered severe injuries, the extent of which was self-evident.
He single-handedly fought against two powerful figures, a feat that defied the heavens, leaving everyone present speechless with astonishment. A complex mix of admiration and regret welled up in their hearts, creating a deep emotional landscape.
They knew that facing such a formidable enemy, Wu Tian would either die or be seriously injured.
Once Wu Tian is injured, the various powerful families, who are eyeing him covetously, will surely deliver the final blow.
"Cough cough cough..."
After a violent coughing fit, Luo Lie coughed up a mouthful of blood. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Wu Tian, his voice trembling: "What... exactly is your cultivation level?"
Originally, he thought that taking advantage of Wu Tian's unpreparedness, his attack as a fifth-rank martial artist would surely be fatal.
Unexpectedly, Wu Tian managed to deflect his attack with a seemingly insignificant palm strike at the critical moment, severely injuring him.
Wu Tian's lips curled slightly, a hint of disdain flashing across his face, his tone calm and resolute: "You! Are not worthy to know!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Zheng's voice, hoarse yet resolute, came from the other side: "Wu Tian, do you think this is the end?"
After saying that, he suddenly sprang up, and the terrifying energy hidden within him erupted like a volcano, determined to unleash all his resentment and anger.
