Chapter 991: Sneak Attack on the Rear
In the eyes of the world, Mr. Wang is like a saint, ethereal as a celestial being, with an immortal air, which is why he earned the name ’Old Immortal’.
But now, this ’Old Immortal’, with a face flushed with anger, his eyes wide open.
"Good, good, good!" Mr. Wang shouted three times and said, "You’ve always been sharp-tongued and irritating since you were young, and I’ve long wanted to deal with you."
Mr. Wang tapped the tip of his toe lightly, and his whole body floated up as if aided by the wind, moving towards the Grand Elder.
A palm thrust out, and even from afar, one could feel the scorching heat, which would likely leave a mark if pressed against one’s skin.
The Grand Elder’s pupils shrank immediately, and his heart began pounding.
This palm technique has no name; to be precise, it was created by Mr. Wang himself. Although nameless, it is well-known in the ancient martial arts community for its extreme heat. A single strike could melt iron and forge gold; even an expert of the Golden Core external sect would have their skin torn and flesh exposed if hit.
This palm cannot be taken head-on, only dodged. But Mr. Wang’s speed was too fast, and each palm left a dark shadow in its wake, forming a chaotic barrage of strikes.
Helpless, with no way to dodge, it could only be met directly.
The Grand Elder clenched his right fist, inner strength surging, with all the veins in his body bulging as if on the verge of mutation.
The fist, full of bulging veins, collided with the fiery red palm, producing a hissing sound like iron being quenched.
This palm strike was met head-on by the Grand Elder, but the cost was the skin tearing and charring on his right hand.
Swish...
Mr. Wang extended two fingers from his right hand, tapping the Grand Elder on the brow, too fast to be avoided.
Rumble~
Like a landslide, like a tsunami, like a world-destroying meteor from the heavens.
The Grand Elder felt as though his head were about to explode!
In the next second, the Golden Core within the Grand Elder’s Sea of Qi also began to tremble, that was the Heart Demon at work!
At this moment, even the Heart Purification Method was useless, as the Heart Demon occupied his mind through his meridians, dyeing the Grand Elder’s eyes red, glowing crimson like ghostly lights in the darkness.
"Despicable!" The Grand Elder gritted his teeth and shouted, but his voice was extremely faint.
"Heh, warfare is the way of deception, and going head-to-head with you isn’t wise." Mr. Wang laughed smugly.
The Grand Elder held onto his core, maintaining a sliver of clarity, using the power of the Heart Demon to press on Mr. Wang relentlessly with a barrage of lethal moves.
Mr. Wang tapped the ground lightly with his feet, like a breeze, swaying left and right, narrowly dodging each of those lethal moves.
It seemed effortless, but in reality, each time was extremely dangerous, with Mr. Wang sweating profusely and cursing silently, thinking that the Heart Demon was amazingly strong!
However, it was only temporary, as in about ten more attacks, his mind would be worn down and he would turn into a mere killing machine.
Ten attacks would take only a matter of seconds.
"Success!"
Suddenly, Mr. Wang’s figure retreated swiftly, flashing to the side of Sixth Elder Wu Hong.
The mindless Grand Elder pursued, with bulging veins all over his body looking terrifying.
At this moment, Mr. Wang had already used his extraordinary speed to move to a position where he could not be locked onto by the Grand Elder.
"Mr. Wang! You are so shameless!" The Sixth Elder shouted loudly before hurriedly dodging because the Grand Elder’s target was now him!
"Hahaha, the Martial Sect’s Heart Demon isn’t simple, Wu Hong, you better be careful!"
Mr. Wang’s voice echoed above the True Martial Hall, and the Sixth Elder looked towards the sound, only to see that guy breaking the neck of a Golden Core expert with one hand.
The Sixth Elder was heartbroken, but there was no time for regret, so he fled around like a stray dog, dodging the Grand Elder’s pursuit.
"Wang Family warriors, follow me, attack!!!"
"Attack!"
Under the leadership of Mr. Wang, the situation shifted again, with the Wang Family turning from a disadvantage to an advantage, becoming unstoppable from being forced to retreat.
The twenty Golden Core experts, in front of Mr. Wang and other renowned masters like Wang Manzi, ultimately couldn’t compete, their power unused.
"Something’s wrong!" Wang Manzi suddenly realized and asked loudly, "Where’s that brat Lin Tian?"
The crowd, with eyes reddened by the fight, only then realized upon hearing these words, remembering that Lin Tian was their primary target today!
"Not good, he went to find the eldest miss!"
Someone shouted, and immediately, everyone’s gaze turned towards Wang Sijing.
Amidst the crowd, a shadowy figure, whose appearance was indistinguishable, was threading its way, targeting the Wang Family’s rear, Wang Sijing!
Nobody expected that under such circumstances, someone would attack a Wang Family junior, so Wang Sijing was only accompanied by the maid wielding a long knife.
"Tianxue, give me the knife!" Wang Sijing said urgently.
"Miss, what about the hidden strength in your body?"
"Quickly!"
The maid Tianxue did not hesitate, handing over the knife. Her own strength was too low, but the miss might still have a chance!
Wang Sijing grasped the hilt tightly, enduring the pain and began channeling her inner strength.
With a horizontal slash of the long knife, the blade gleamed as it cut towards the indistinct shadow.
The Wang Family’s explosive power is well-known, and this slash from Wang Sijing gathered all her inner strength, seizing the moment with a precise angle, executing every detail to perfection.
She could only launch one attack! If Lin Tian didn’t dodge, he would be sliced in half.
Screech~
Under everyone’s gaze, the long knife cut through the air, sending forth a one-meter-long trail of dazzling sparks.
Clang~
Immediately followed by the clanging sound of metals clashing, the long knife was broken into three pieces!
Lin Tian wielded the Black Dragon Dagger, moving forward to embrace Wang Sijing from behind, his left hand restraining her arms. His right hand, holding the dagger, poised the blade against her neck.
Lin Tian took a deep whiff and then grinned, "How come your scent has changed? Last time you smelled wonderful, but now it’s all medicine."
This was the first time Wang Sijing had been held like this by a man, leaving her extremely uncomfortable, and Lin Tian’s vulgar words made her both ashamed and angry.
"If you want to kill or skin me, do it quickly! You won’t escape today anyway!" Wang Sijing said, and then raised her right foot to kick fiercely at Lin Tian’s groin, but Lin Tian quickly clamped his legs together.
"Don’t think I won’t do it!" Lin Tian said coldly, increasing the pressure of his right hand, and the dagger sliced a cut on Wang Sijing’s neck as white as a swan.
"If I exert a bit more force, this dagger will sever your carotid artery, and not even the gods could save you." Lin Tian laughed.
"Then go ahead!" Wang Sijing hissed softly.
Lin Tian ignored her and instead looked at Mr. Wang and others ahead, shouting: "Back off! Or your Wang Family’s genius will perish here."
