Wang Ritain Arrives with His Blade!
The martial artists stared wide-eyed.
Sui Xiegou was practically a Land Immortal, renowned throughout the martial world. Yet now, he had actually been defeated by Wang Ritain.
Dark qi still surged around Wang Ritain.
The crowd was shaken by his powerful aura. They wondered to themselves how Wang Ritain could be even stronger than the rumors claimed.
Sui Xiegou struggled to his feet, swaying unsteadily. Blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, staining his clothes red. He looked at Wang Ritain with a complicated expression: shock, unwillingness to accept defeat, and even a trace of admiration. "Wang Ritain, you... you really are strong enough to wound Wang Xianzhi. With a prodigy like you in the martial world, the other young martial artists will likely fade into obscurity."
Sui Xiegou's voice was weak.
Wanwan stood to one side, having witnessed with her own eyes the terrifying power of Wang Ritain's slash that had gravely wounded Sui Xiegou. She was deeply shocked.
Her eyes remained fixed on Wang Ritain. The trace of disdain she'd once felt had vanished, replaced by deep awe. So he really is this powerful. No wonder Master told me to befriend him. Wanwan began to understand what her master, Zhu Yuyan, had in mind. If she could win Wang Ritain over, the Yinkui Sect's goal of uniting the Demon Cult might no longer be so far away.
Wang Ritain slowly lowered his blade, and the demonic qi filling the sky gradually subsided. Step by step, he headed toward Huishan. As he passed Sui Xiegou, he paused and said coldly, "If you dare stop me again, next time will be your last." Then he continued on without looking back. Sui Xiegou watched Wang Ritain's retreating figure, a complicated glimmer in his eyes. He shook his head slightly, thinking to himself that Wang Ritain really was a ruthless one.
Wanwan hesitated, then silently followed Wang Ritain with her lightness skill. She was intensely curious about his strength and wanted to get to the bottom of it. Just how many secrets does this Wang Ritain have? I have to see through him. A determined glint shone in her eyes.
The demonic qi over the small city gradually dissipated. Sui Xiegou drove the remaining qi from his body and slowly rose to his feet. Looking in the direction Wang Ritain had gone, he lifted the corners of his mouth in a faint, barely perceptible smile. "Wang Ritain, if you're going to Huishan, the Xuanyuan Family is in for quite a show," he murmured. The other martial artists began discussing the matter, their faces filled with curiosity and anticipation. They all wanted to know just how much of a stir Wang Ritain would cause on his trip to Huishan.
On Dragon Tiger Mountain, Zhao Xituan's face turned deathly pale when he heard that Wang Ritain had defeated Sui Xiegou. He hurried to find Zhao Huangchao and tried to dissuade him again. "Junior Brother, Wang Ritain was able to defeat even Sui Xiegou. His strength is unfathomable. Your trip will be perilous. You'd better not get involved." His eyes were full of worry and anxiety.
Zhao Huangchao still looked disdainful. He snorted and said, "Senior Brother, don't bolster someone else's reputation and undermine our own. Wang Ritain was just lucky. The great formation of Dragon Tiger Mountain has boundless power. Even if Wang Xianzhi came in person, I could still fight him. Let alone Wang Ritain." His eyes brimmed with confidence and arrogance.
Zhao Xituan let out a helpless sigh. He knew he couldn't change Zhao Huangchao's mind. "Fine, fine. Take care of yourself." Zhao Xituan turned and slowly walked away, his back looking utterly forlorn.
On Huishan, Xuanyuan Dapan grew more and more uneasy after hearing that Wang Ritain had defeated Sui Xiegou. He paced back and forth in his room, brow furrowed and sweat beading on his forehead. "Wang Ritain's strength is truly terrifying. It seems I was right to ask the people from Dragon Tiger Mountain for help," he muttered to himself.
At Xuanyuan Dapan's command, the disciples of Huishan had already taken up defensive positions. They'd set up layer upon layer of formations throughout the mountain, ready for Wang Ritain's arrival. Xuanyuan Qingfeng stood to one side, watching Xuanyuan Dapan's nervousness and growing curious. Is the Old Ancestor really this afraid of Wang Ritain?
Xuanyuan Jingcheng was equally shaken when he heard the news. He looked toward Huishan, shook his head slightly, and said, "Perhaps this is simply the fate of the Xuanyuan Family." His eyes were filled with helplessness and rueful emotion.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng walked over to Xuanyuan Jingcheng and asked softly, "Big Brother, do you think this Wang Ritain is really that terrifying?" Xuanyuan Jingcheng turned to look at her, a complicated glimmer in his eyes. "Little Sister, Wang Ritain is no ordinary man. He defeated Sui Xiegou and even wounded Wang Xianzhi. His strength is unfathomable. He's coming up the mountain for a reason, and it can't be anything good." Xuanyuan Qingfeng was startled. She began to realize that Wang Ritain's arrival might bring a tremendous crisis upon the Xuanyuan Family.
On their way to Dragon Tiger Mountain, Xu Fengnian and Li Chungang drew closer to Huishan. They sensed that the atmosphere around both mountains was completely different from usual. Li Chungang frowned and carefully studied the direction of Dragon Tiger Mountain. "It seems they've set up a great formation there. And to summon such immense reserves of fortune, they'll probably have to damage the mountain's foundations." His expression was grave.
Xu Fengnian was startled. He had never seen Li Chungang look so serious. "Old Li, Wang Ritain has made Dragon Tiger Mountain this nervous?" he asked in surprise. Li Chungang nodded slightly. "Wang Ritain really is no simple man. His arrival is likely to stir up a storm in the martial world."
When they reached the foot of Huishan and saw the great formation laid out around it, Xu Fengnian felt his scalp prickle. "Looks like the Xuanyuan Family has really gone all out to deal with Wang Ritain," he murmured.
As everyone waited tensely for Wang Ritain to arrive, Li Chungang suddenly stirred. He looked into the distance and said, "He's here." Everyone followed his gaze and saw Wang Ritain slowly approaching Huishan.
When Wang Ritain reached the foot of Huishan, he looked up at the towering mountain, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes. He raised a hand, and a sword qi howled forth, instantly smashing the stone stele at the foot of the mountain. "Old Ancestor Xuanyuan, I, Wang Ritain, have come up the mountain today to claim your life!" his voice rang out.
Huishan erupted into an uproar. Xuanyuan Dapan's expression changed when he heard Wang Ritain's voice. He hurriedly activated the great formation, preparing to face Wang Ritain's challenge. The Huishan disciples also took up their weapons and rushed to surround him.
Looking at the crowd charging toward him in a frenzy, Wang Ritain suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! Good! Today, I'll show you what happens when you cross me!"
