Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 729 Imposing Presence!
When this voice reverberated, heaven and earth fell silent.
It was as if someone had suddenly pressed the pause button.
Inside the main hall of Dongshan Valley, there was complete silence. Most people were dumbfounded, their faces filled with shock, some even doubting if they had heard correctly.
Someone actually dared to openly curse Tian Wenjing in Dongshan Valley!
Some wanted to ask the person next to them, but seeing that everyone around them was in a state of stunned disbelief, they immediately realized that they had not misheard.
Indeed, someone was rebuking Tian Wenjing.
Instinctively, most people present shifted their gaze to the gloomy old man at the head of the hall, sensing a dense killing intent emanating from him.
"Courting death!!!"
Tian Wenjing shattered the armrest beside him with a single palm strike. His figure suddenly turned, and the next moment, a blur flashed past. The seat at the head of the hall was now empty.
"Go!"
Whether it was a sudden low roar or not, everyone was awakened. Then, they quickly transformed into streaks of illusory shadows, disappearing from the hall in the blink of an eye.
Within Dongshan Valley.
All the disciples were also dumbfounded, looking in disbelief at the vast dark clouds converging from afar, enveloping Dongshan Valley.
They had never imagined that, with Dongshan Valley's status in Nanzhou, there would be anyone daring enough to come looking for death on their own initiative.
In an instant, almost all the disciples were ignited with anger. They drew their swords and blades, the cold light gleaming, and under the guidance of their elders, they quickly began to gather towards the mountain gate.
One figure after another streaked across the void, riding on various weapons, rapidly assembling.
Among the gathering crowd, a young woman dressed in colorful clothes was one of the more eye-catching figures, not because of her appearance. In fact, her appearance could only be considered above average.
Among all the female disciples of Dongshan Valley, she was not particularly outstanding.
The reason she attracted attention was because she was nestled in the arms of a short, stocky man. The man was not exactly hideous, but he was definitely below average in terms of looks.
Originally, such a person would likely be ostracized in the sect, but he had a good background.
He was Tian Wenjing's great-grandson and the current Young Valley Master of Dongshan Valley, holding an extremely powerful position within the valley.
Moreover, his aptitude was not low, even quite good.
"Ying, don't be afraid, I'm here," Tian Wantong whispered, embracing the woman in his arms.
"Mm, I'm not afraid with you here."
A look of peace appeared on Wu Ying's face.
And she was the very same ungrateful wife that Chen Peilu had told Chen Yuan about, the one he had supported in her cultivation, only to be kicked aside and even pursued.
"Just some petty thief, nothing to worry about with the Ancestor around!"
Tian Wantong smiled faintly.
Near the mountain gate of Dongshan Valley, hundreds upon thousands of Dongshan Valley disciples dressed in uniform were looking with vigilance and anger at the bald man in the distance.
If their elders gave the order, they would rush forward without hesitation.
But, as Zhu Huai unreservedly released his cultivation aura, the Dongshan Valley disciples who had been eager to charge forward showed expressions of horror.
Such a powerful aura!
Everyone instinctively retreated, creating distance.
Zhu Huai snorted coldly, his face filled with disdain, exuding an immense and domineering aura. In his eyes, these Dongshan Valley disciples were no different from ants.
"Tian Wenjing, I f*** your ancestors, hurry up and come out to meet your death!"
Zhu Huai had always been arrogant, and with Chen Yuan's backing, he cursed his nemesis Tian Wenjing without any restraint, not caring in the slightest that doing so would damage his image as an expert.
"I wondered who dared to be so arrogant outside my Dongshan Valley, it turns out to be you, a stray dog. What... are you tired of hiding and want to seek death on your own initiative?"
Tian Wenjing's figure slowly materialized, looking down at Zhu Huai, a sneer on his lips. Even though he had now broken through to the Yangshen realm, the aura he exuded was not even worthy of his attention.
He was a powerful figure who could rank among the top twenty on the Heaven Ranking!
There were only about twenty such people in the entire world, absolutely standing at the pinnacle of the Jianghu. Moreover, he was arrogant enough to believe that Dengxian Pavilion's ranking for him was inaccurate.
With his strength, he should be able to rank in the top twenty of the Heaven Ranking.
Tian Wenjing didn't pay much attention to Zhu Huai, a defeated opponent from his early years, a stray dog. His attention was not on him.
In addition, Zhu Huai requested Chen Yuan to block his information, so there were actually few who knew that he had appeared. These few did not include Tian Wenjing.
He did not have the means to interfere in Chen Yuan's affairs.
"Tian Wenjing, you old, undying thing, I am no longer the same as I was back then. I have come here today to settle the grudges between us, to send you to your death, to send your Dongshan Valley to its death!"
Zhu Huai pointed his finger at Tian Wenjing's nose and cursed.
Tian Wenjing sneered, his expression arrogant:
"You have only just broken through to the Yangshen realm, not even qualified to be on the Heaven Ranking. Who gave you the courage to act presumptuously in front of me?
You hid for decades. I didn't have the time to look for trouble with you, thinking of letting you live like a dog, barely surviving in the Jianghu. But since you are seeking death,
then don't blame me for taking your life."
As soon as his voice fell, a surging aura rose directly into the sky, stirring up the winds and clouds of the nine heavens. Endless heaven and earth spiritual energy instantly gathered around him.
In the eyes of the Dongshan Valley disciples at this moment, their Valley Master was a god!
"Just a position at the bottom of the Heaven Ranking, not even in the top twenty, you old thing, you really have an attitude of claiming to be the best in the world.
If you didn't know any better, you'd really think you were that powerful!"
"To you, I am an invincible expert. Today, I will suppress you in my Dongshan Valley, shatter your physical body, and imprison your primordial spirit.
Just right, to be used as a sacrifice for my Nanzhou Martial Alliance!"
As he said this, he subconsciously glanced towards the crowd behind him, his eyes showing a hint of warning. He couldn't directly attack them, lest it further provoke their rebellious psychology.
But he could use his truly powerful strength to tell them that listening to Tian Wenjing's words would allow them to cultivate properly, while disobeying would only lead to their downfall.
His gaze did indeed cause many people to subconsciously take half a step back, their hair standing on end, as if they had suddenly been targeted by a terrifying beast.
They quickly lowered their eyes, not daring to meet Tian Wenjing's gaze.
"Who wins and who loses is not yet certain? Tian Wenjing, you have lived in vain for so many years. Haven't you ever wondered what I am relying on today?"
Zhu Huai tilted his head slightly, very arrogant.
"Oh? Then you might as well show it first, and see if I fear you?"
Tian Wenjing's aura did not withdraw, but he stared coldly at Zhu Huai.
It seemed that he wanted to see what tricks this stray dog could play to open his eyes.
"Everyone, show yourselves!"
Zhu Huai snorted coldly and shouted directly.
His aura was extraordinary, as if he really had some powerful backing, but... the result was unexpected. After he shouted that sentence,
the world remained silent, with only a cold wind blowing on Zhu Huai's bald head.
The world was silent.
Then, there was a burst of laughter.
The Dongshan Valley disciples mocked:
"Hahaha... I thought this person had some backup, but it turns out he's just a silver spear with a wax head, all show and no substance."
"Pfft... Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..."
A burst of laughter followed. Zhu Huai's face showed a hint of embarrassment at this moment, even enough to dig out a four-bedroom, two-living-room, two-bathroom apartment plus a parking space with his toes.
How...
How... could this be...?
Zhu Huai swallowed a mouthful of saliva. This was somewhat different from what he had expected. Where was Heavenly Sword True Lord Jiang He? Where was Netherworld Prison True Lord Chu Changfeng? Where were the hundred thousand troops?
Where was my lord?
How...?
Tian Wenjing also laughed, amused by Zhu Huai. It was simply a huge joke. He had shouted impressive slogans, but in the end, there was no movement at all.
"Is that it?"
Tian Wenjing raised an eyebrow and asked with a sneer.
"I was just trying to trick you."
Zhu Huai forcibly maintained his composure, trying to boost his confidence.
How could his lord possibly let him die?
Don't be fooled by his eagerness to come forward. He knew very well in his heart that he, who had just entered the Yangshen realm, could never be a match for the veteran True Lord Tian Wenjing.
Not to mention that there was more than just one True Lord here. If he fought, he would definitely die.
The main reason he came up was to take the opportunity to curse Tian Wenjing, because once his own lord had set his sights on him, he wouldn't even have the chance to curse him in the future.
"I don't care what means you have. Since you have come to Dongshan Valley and dare to speak wildly to me, then... stay here forever!"
Tian Wenjing's eyes narrowed, his face showing a sinister look. The next moment, without any more nonsense, he directly attacked, his powerful aura quickly enveloping Zhu Huai.
The heaven and earth spiritual energy gathered around him. With a thought from his divine sense, a powerful force instantly converged into a terrifying hundred-zhang divine palm, directly suppressing him!
Seeing Tian Wenjing's attack falling, Zhu Huai didn't think about anything else. He stepped forward, and the powerful aura around him quickly rose, resisting it.
At the same time, as his divine sense converged, endless crimson flames swept across the heavens and earth, colliding with the approaching hundred-zhang divine palm.
"Boom!!!"
A terrifying roar exploded in the void, and powerful shockwaves swept in all directions. The crimson flames also collapsed, and of course, the hundred-zhang divine palm was shattered as well.
But this was just a preliminary exchange of blows. They hadn't truly fought yet. After one strike, the two used their real killer moves.
Two terrifying forces directly collided.
One side was crimson, and the other was azure.
It was as if water and fire were incompatible, clearly distinguished.
In the heavens and earth, it outlined an extremely magnificent and mysterious painting.
This was the peak collision of the two.
Zhu Huai directly used his full strength, while Tian Wenjing remained unchanged, even showing a hint of contempt for Zhu Huai, thinking that he must have become stupid after hiding for decades, actually daring to come to his door seeking death.
To be honest, Tian Wenjing's arrogant aura had indeed made him feel apprehensive. He had scattered his divine sense, wanting to find out if anyone was hidden within.
But in the end, there was nothing.
Only then did he truly relax.
He had encountered foolishness before.
"Break!"
Tian Wenjing took a step forward, and the aura on his body rose again. A powerful force instantly disintegrated Zhu Huai's means, pressing towards him little by little.
Each step he took was like stepping on Zhu Huai's heart, causing his face to change. And Tian Wenjing happened to enjoy this feeling.
Watching his opponent's fear and panic in front of him could bring him a sense of extreme pleasure.
Zhu Huai's face turned pale. He wanted to resist, but he could only retreat again and again under Tian Wenjing's powerful pressure. In a short moment, he had retreated hundreds of zhang.
The smiles on the faces of the Dongshan Valley disciples below became even more pronounced, enjoying the scene they were seeing now.
"Hmph, daring to cause trouble in my Dongshan Valley, seeking death!"
"That's right, what dogshit Zhu Huai, in the hands of the Valley Master, he's just an ant that can be pinched to death at will. Instead of thinking about escaping, he's actually rushing to his death. It's truly unprecedented."
"Hahaha..."
"Wantong, the Valley Master is so amazing."
Wu Ying blinked her big eyes, her expression very happy.
"That's natural. The Ancestor is naturally the best in the world!" Tian Wantong snorted softly.
"Zhu Huai, prepare to die!"
Tian Wenjing took another heavy step, and all the terrifying power was released, directly knocking Zhu Huai back dozens of zhang, his face pale. Facing Tian Wenjing's relentless pursuit,
Zhu Huai quickly shouted:
"My Lord, save me!"
But this time, Tian Wenjing did not show any mercy, not even touched by Zhu Huai's words. He had been tricked once, did he think he could trick him a second time?
Impossible!
Just as everyone was watching Zhu Huai about to be severely injured, the heavens and earth suddenly changed. The dark clouds in the sky directly condensed into a ghost mask in the void.
"Who is it!"
Tian Wenjing was instantly shocked and wanted to retreat quickly.
But the ghost mask didn't give him a chance. A terrifying aura directly traversed the void, suppressing the heavens and earth, and Tian Wenjing was instantly imprisoned, unable to move.
He could only watch as the ghost mask quickly approached.
"I have offended you greatly, and I hope my fellow Daoist will forgive me. I am willing to offer..."
Before Tian Wenjing could offer his terms, the hundred-zhang ghost mask directly swallowed him. Then, his aura quickly disappeared until it vanished into nothingness.
From beginning to end, only three breaths had passed.
And in just three breaths, a powerful True Lord on the Heaven Ranking was directly declared dead.
The heavens and earth were eerily silent.
The expressions on the faces of the Dongshan Valley disciples still held the mockery from before, but as their Valley Master was suddenly swallowed, their expressions turned to astonishment, stunned in place.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What did I see?
Valley... Where's the Valley Master?
Unfortunately, no one answered their questions. Zhu Huai bowed down, wanting to say something to thank his lord, but the hundred-zhang ghost mask only spat out a few words:
"Dongshan Valley, leave no one alive. Kill!"
