As Zhu Zheng's words faded away, a look of relief unconsciously appeared on the faces of the members of the major families, like a spring breeze blowing through the ice, melting away the tense atmosphere.
Ma Rulong's eyes were sharp as an eagle's as he stared directly at Wu Tian, brimming with confidence. His words carried an undeniable resolve: "Wu Tian, your death is imminent. The Black and White Impermanence are experts carefully trained by Hall Master Zhu, with cultivation levels approaching the peak of a fifth-grade martial artist. You have nowhere to escape."
He had long hoped that Zhu Zheng would send out the Black and White Impermanence to eliminate Wu Tian, as their cultivation level was more than enough to deal with Wu Tian, thus avoiding any trouble.
Although the appearance of the Black and White Impermanence was a bit late, it wasn't too late.
Although we suffered losses, we made a good impression on the Dragon Capture Hall and will surely earn their praise in the future.
Zhou Kewen followed closely behind, his sarcasm mixed with deep hatred, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue: "Wu Tian, only those who know when to yield are wise. Before the shadow of the Black and White Impermanence descends, kneel down and beg for mercy from Hall Master Zhu, and you may still be able to get a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, if they make a move, it will be the time when you are reduced to ashes."
Wu Tian remained calm and composed, arms crossed, observing the absurd performance with a detached and indifferent attitude.
A playful smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Black and White Impermanence? Hmph, why are they so reluctant to show themselves? Could it be that they're terrified and scared away by my reputation?"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that time had passed quietly. Zhu Zheng's order had been hanging in the balance for a long time, but the Black and White Impermanence were still nowhere to be found, without even a trace of response.
Zhu Zheng's expression darkened, his anger erupting like a volcano. He roared, "Black and White Impermanence, show yourselves at once! Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished!"
His command was like thunder, penetrating every inch of space.
Its roar shook the surrounding area, causing even the air inside the sports center to tremble, and startling the birds perched on the rooftops, causing them to scatter and flee from the sudden roar.
However, neither Hei Wuchang nor Bai Wuchang appeared, as if they didn't exist at all.
At this moment, Luo Lie's expression turned solemn, and an ominous premonition loomed over him like dark clouds. Before he could ask Zhu Zheng for instructions, he shot off like an arrow to the third floor to find out what was going on.
In an instant, Luo Lie returned like a whirlwind, casually tossing an unconscious security guard to Zhu Zheng's feet, his tone heavy as lead: "Both Black and White Impermanence are dead, and only this unconscious security guard was found at the scene."
These words struck like a thunderclap, shocking the entire audience.
The Black and White Impermanence have quietly perished, without a sound, like fleeting shadows vanishing in the night wind.
Who could hear thunder in silence and so easily take the lives of two fifth-rank martial artists?
All eyes involuntarily turned to Wu Tian; he seemed to be the only answer and the only mystery.
Only he had the possibility and motive to kill two fifth-rank martial artists.
At this moment, Ma Rulong and Zhou Kewen's expressions were uncertain. They had just been boasting about the Black and White Impermanence, but now they heard the news that the Black and White Impermanence had been wiped out.
Among those who killed the Black and White Impermanence, Wu Tian is the most suspicious.
Zhu Zheng's gaze was like a torch, fixed on Wu Tian. His eyes were sharp as swords, as if they could pierce through all illusions. He questioned Wu Tian with the air of a judge: "But you, you killed them?"
Wu Tian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, forming a faint yet mysterious smile, but he remained silent, letting speculation spread in the air.
"No!" Zhu Zheng immediately denied himself, his tone firm, "You can't do it!"
He knew the strength of the Black and White Impermanence very well. Their cultivation was already at the peak of the fifth rank, and their hidden weapon skills were superb. When they joined forces, even a sixth-rank expert would find it difficult to win. How could they have fallen silently?
"Master Zhu, the security guard has woken up!" Luo Lie's voice rang out at the right time, with a hint of urgency, as he pulled the security guard in front of Zhu Zheng.
Zhu Zheng scrutinized him coldly, his voice as icy as ice: "Why are you in the room of the Black and White Impermanence?"
The security guard answered tremblingly and in rapid speech: "I... I was patrolling there when I heard you making some strange noises. After calling out to the two distinguished guests and receiving no response, I was worried about their safety, so I opened the door and went in."
"What did you see in the room?" Zhu Zheng pressed, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.
The security guard was ashen-faced and stammered, "I... I witnessed the Black and White Impermanence... dead, and the Black Impermanence's head... was cruelly severed..."
These words shocked everyone present. The Black Impermanence, renowned for his power, had fallen to such a state, demonstrating the strength of his opponent and sending chills down their spines.
Every word the security guard uttered was like a sharp blade in the cold wind, cutting into the hearts of everyone present.
The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became heavy.
Zhu Zheng's eyes were as deep as pools, reflecting a complex mix of emotions—shock, anger, and doubt.
The Black and White Impermanence not only lost their lives in this encounter, but also suffered a blow to the reputation of the Dragon Capture Hall.
"What else did you see?" Zhu Zheng's voice was deep and powerful, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing the shock and anger in his heart.
The security guard's body trembled violently, almost to the point of kneeling, as if his memories had transformed into invisible blades, slowly tearing his soul apart.
Luo Lie's voice boomed like thunder rolling across the sky, leaving no room for argument: "Hall Master Zhu is waiting for your reply!"
Upon hearing this, the security guard's body seemed to be struck by an invisible hammer, collapsing like mud.
He struggled to calm the turmoil within him, his voice trembling as he said, "Witnessing the two lords meet with misfortune, I... I was filled with terror and only wanted to escape. However, just as I turned to flee, a dark shadow swept past like a ghost, and then I plunged into endless darkness..."
"A shadowy figure?" Zhu Zheng's voice was deep and powerful, each word like a hammer blow to the heart. "Did you see what that shadowy figure looked like?"
The security guard buried his head deep into his chest, trying his best to avoid the gaze of the crowd, afraid that the slightest mistake would reveal the fear in his heart.
He slowly shook his head, his face contorted with fear: "Too fast, too fast, I... I didn't even see it clearly..."
Are you sure you didn't see it clearly?
No sooner had he finished speaking than a burst of mocking laughter suddenly rang out, like a spark in the dark night, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see Wu Tian standing leisurely, his composure seemingly unconcerned about the fate of the Black and White Impermanence.
He naturally recognized the security guard; it was his classmate Wang Libin, and it was he who had personally knocked Wang Libin unconscious.
Wang Libin turned his gaze with difficulty to Wu Tian, his heart filled with doubts. He couldn't understand why Wu Tian would calmly admit to killing Hei Bai Wuchang in front of everyone.
He had no time to delve into the intricacies of the situation; he could only widen his eyes and feign terror, "It...it was him, I...I remember now, it was him who appeared at those two officials' residence, and it was he who made me knock me unconscious..."
