Ye Tian's brief sentence silenced the entire room.
The whispers were like a sigh, the silence like a cicada in winter.
The entire audience participating in the apprentice recruitment competition could hardly believe their eyes.
What did they see?
Zhu Xian!
This is not a move name, nor is it just an empty slogan.
It was an outsider from the Cloud and Mist Mountains who truly accomplished this feat in the Feiguang Mountains.
With the power of the fourth level of the Cloud Realm, he defied the Immortal Slayer.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, even if it were the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Pavilion, or the old monster of the Moon Worship Cult, they would never have believed it if he said it himself.
But now, it was truly happening right before his eyes.
"Did I win?" Ye Tian asked indifferently, in an almost icy tone.
The referee, who was standing not far away, was dumbfounded. Hearing Ye Tian's reminder, he suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Yes! Yes, yes, you are the winner of this competition, Daoist Wuchen of the Ruthless Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian remained silent, sheathed his longsword, and slowly walked off the stage.
He left behind only a lonely and enigmatic silhouette for everyone to see.
Ye Tian wanted to completely establish the aloof and pretentious master persona of Wuchen Daoren.
After this battle, everyone will remember it. In the Cloud Mist Mountains, there was a master named Wuchen Daoren, who was ruthless, domineering, and merciless.
Most importantly, this expert, with his strength at the fourth level of the Cloud Realm, was able to kill a half-immortal.
After this battle, Li Guang became the most tragic half-immortal in the history of the Feiguang Mountains.
In his very first battle after breaking through, he died at the hands of someone at the fourth level of the Cloud Realm, becoming a stepping stone for them.
This forged Ye Tian's formidable reputation as a powerful figure who defied the heavens and slayed immortals at the fourth level of the Cloud Realm.
Ye Tian stood alone in the crowd, and everyone else consciously avoided him, with no one daring to get close to him.
To the average viewer, he is now on par with the old monsters from major powers like Huangyu Pavilion, Chengyun Sect, and Baiyue Sect.
Even the competition to recruit apprentices was suspended as a result.
This incredibly memorable event was enough to make them stop everything they were doing.
Inside the Imperial Pavilion.
A handsome man slumped lazily in a chair adorned with carved dragons and phoenixes, with nine dragons coiling around him on a pillar. Each dragon was painted with lifelike detail, and even when they looked at each other, one could discern that all nine dragons were kneeling in worship.
If there were an expert here, they would surely be able to see the wolfish ambition in this handsome man.
It was so overwhelming that it was outrageous, to the point that it was as if the nine dragons were paying homage.
In this mysterious continent, dragons and phoenixes are revered sacred creatures. Even emperors in dynasties and empires refer to themselves as "Sons of Heaven, True Dragons." This clearly demonstrates the high status of dragons.
But if this handsome man wants the Nine Dragons to pay homage, isn't he trying to prove from the side that his status is several levels higher than that of the Nine Dragons?
How could there be such an arrogant person?
At this moment, the newcomer was deathly pale, his lips had turned blue, and his legs were weak. He said in a panic, "Your...Your Excellency."
Upon seeing this, the handsome man frowned, realizing something was amiss. He snorted and asked, "What's wrong? Could it be that some old monster intervened to help Li Guang when he was killing those outsiders on the battlefield?"
"That's to be expected. This person is so powerful, yet his true appearance is so young, and his bone structure is incredibly robust. It's not surprising that there's an old monster behind him capable of defeating Li Guang."
"Since we can't kill him, let's just give up. It's pointless to waste so much effort on someone at the Cloud Realm."
The handsome man spoke indifferently, seemingly not taking Ye Tian seriously.
For someone of his stature, Ye Tian, despite his dominance in the Cloud Realm, was merely a slightly larger ant.
Stomp him to death, that's no exaggeration.
"Gulp." The newcomer swallowed.
"Your Majesty, Li Guang is dead."
"Crack!" The handsome man crushed the faucet of the chair into dust, which then dissipated in the wind.
"What did you say?"
"Li Guang was killed by this outsider. He killed Li Guang, a half-immortal, with his Cloud Realm cultivation. Your Majesty, this outsider really didn't lie; he slew the immortal."
The handsome man's face froze completely. He exclaimed in shock, "What did you say? He killed Li Guang, a half-immortal, with his Cloud Realm cultivation?"
The newcomer gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! Your Excellency, almost everyone in the arena can testify that they all saw it with their own eyes. This person, at the Cloud Realm, killed a Half-Immortal."
"This miracle was witnessed by everyone present."
Upon hearing this, the handsome man was not angry but delighted. He laughed loudly, his face gradually becoming manic, and excitedly said, "Excellent! To defeat the Immortal Slayer with the Cloud Realm, there really is such an extraordinary person in the world."
“Even in the prosperous Central Plains, there would never be such an outrageous person. Moreover, we are in a remote corner of the world, and this place has long been a land of declining Dharma. There is absolutely no way that anyone could defy the Immortal Slayer with the Cloud Realm.”
"This child must possess a great opportunity. If I can seize him and obtain the opportunity within him, it would be an immense blessing for me."
The visitor was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that even His Majesty would be interested in this person.
"Your Excellency, what about us?"
The handsome man's face hardened, and he said coldly, "Arrest him! I can accept some compensation for this recruitment competition. But this person is an absolute treasure, my true trump card for further advancement. Even if it means sacrificing this recruitment competition, I want to see him alive. Do you understand what I mean?"
“I understand, Your Majesty. Even if it means going to heaven or hell, I will bring this person back to you.”
The visitor answered with unwavering resolve.
During the apprenticeship competition.
Ye Tian's right eyelid twitched, and he felt a pang of fear.
He knew that if he revealed his strength, someone would immediately come looking for trouble.
But he hadn't anticipated that it would come so quickly or erupt so swiftly.
Ye Tian's heart tightened silently.
Which side could it be? The Moon Worship Sect, whose leader he killed, or perhaps the Cloud Riding Sect?
Or is it the Royal Pavilion, operating behind the scenes, manipulating this competition?
"Wuchen Daoren".
At that moment, Li Zhan suddenly called out to him.
The first thing I saw was him walking slowly towards me, with a friendly smile.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Tian suddenly drew his sword, muttering, "Slay the Heavens."
Sword energy descended from the sky.
It possesses immense power and moves with lightning speed.
Just as Li Zhan opened his eyes wide and was about to make a move, the sword cleaved down from above his head.
His whole body felt like a thin sheet of paper.
A click.
It was torn off directly from the top of my head and scraped in two.
Li Zhan was in a terrible state, his face extremely pale.
There was no sign of life.
Suddenly, the audience held their breath.
Having just slain the immortal, Wuchen Daoist is now facing off against Huangyu Pavilion?
This is going to be quite a show.
