Chapter 873: Chapter 871: White Tiger Suppresses the Sky Seal
In the blink of an eye, a cold laugh echoed through the air.
Soon after, a man dressed in white robes stepped in front of Xiang Tian.
The white-robed man glanced at Xiang Tian, his lips curling into a disdainful smile as he said, "Since you want to experience our Luoxing Mountain’s martial arts, I’ll play with you for a bit. How about it?"
"Very well."
Xiang Tian nodded without a second thought.
On the side, Xuan Yu quickly pulled Xiang Tian aside, frowning and saying, "Do you know who this person standing before you is?"
"What’s it to me?"
Xiang Tian replied indifferently, "Even if it’s the King of Heaven himself, I’d beat him until he begged for mercy."
The man’s face changed, and he spoke again, "This is our domain ruler’s favored disciple, and he’s the senior brother of everyone here. You bastard, how dare you speak to our senior brother like that; you truly have a death wish!"
The speaker slightly frowned, then charged towards Xiang Tian.
Xiang Tian squinted his eyes, and slowly raised his hand, making contact with the man.
In an instant, he forced the man back several steps, and arrogantly looked at him, speaking coldly, "Before I get angry, hurry up and get lost, otherwise don’t blame me for showing no mercy."
"Besides, your so-called senior brother means nothing to me."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the people present changed.
It was the first time people from Luoxing Mountain had been insulted like this.
The white-robed man standing aside took a few steps towards Xiang Tian, assessing him before slowly speaking, "I know who you are. Presumably, you few are the outsiders my master brought back?"
"I’ve heard you possess some skills, which is why my master favored you. But if it’s only for this reason, I advise you not to be arrogant, as there’s always someone stronger out there. Moreover, from what I know, you’re not the most powerful among your group, so you really have no place speaking here."
Xiang Tian slightly frowned; he might need to show some respect to the domain ruler, but he didn’t need to pay attention to the white-robed man before him.
Just as he was about to act, Xuan Yu approached him, lowered his voice, and whispered in his ear, "Don’t provoke these people. It’s said this guy is favored by Dong Tianlei. If you fight him, it won’t be good for us."
"And, we’re currently dependent on others, so it’s better to be quiet."
Beside them, Luo Xue also nodded and advised, "Just listen to Xuan Yu’s intentions. After all, he’s been in this area far longer than us, so he knows everything extremely well. If we become enemies with them now, not only will our situation become very awkward, but even Brother Wang won’t be able to explain to Dong Tianlei."
Ha...
Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian’s lips curled into a cold smile.
He glanced at the two beside him before speaking, "Are we really dependent on others now? Don’t forget, it was Dong Tianlei who insisted on inviting us here, which is why we followed Brother Wang to this place. If not, why would we come here to suffer indignation?"
"Moreover, since arriving here, we haven’t deliberately provoked them, yet they keep forcing us. Should we continue to tolerate it?"
While speaking, the white-robed man had already stepped in front of the group.
The white-robed man smiled coldly, then spoke indifferently, "Since that’s the case, let’s not trouble my master or your Brother Wang. Why don’t you and I have a match? What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s complexion changed.
Then, the crowd started shouting in unison.
Xiang Tian’s lips formed a faint smile, and he slowly said, "Sounds good. Since you want a fight, I’ll oblige, but..."
"I never consider consequences when I make a move, so be prepared; if I kill you, don’t cry."
The white-robed man grinned, his face showing no anger, instead calmly saying, "Just unleash all your skills; after all, I never hold back in a fight either. If you’re not up to it, it’s not my fault if I kill you."
"At that point, we won’t be able to explain to your Brother."
Ha...
Xiang Tian cracked his neck and glanced at Luo Xue and Xuan Yu behind him, then said, "You see? I’m not the one causing trouble here, and we’re just competing, so there’s no need to worry. Just step back, quietly stabilize the situation for me."
Since things had developed to this stage, Luo Xue and Xuan Yu couldn’t stop anything.
They exchanged a glance, then silently stepped aside, neither saying another word.
The crowd within Luoxing Mountain also stood to one side, evidently ready to watch the duel between Xiang Tian and the man in white robes.
The man in white robes stood face to face with Xiang Tian.
"Make your move."
The man in white robes glanced scornfully at Xiang Tian, his gaze full of indifference, clearly showing he held Xiang Tian in no regard.
In fact, ever since Wang Zhan and his companions arrived at Luoxing Mountain, the man in white robes had already looked into their backgrounds, and naturally knew that Wang Zhan was the most formidable among the four. Moreover, his own prowess could rival Xuan Yu, so he naturally did not fear Xiang Tian and his companions.
Plus, being the disciple of Dong Tianlei, he was fearless; even if by accident he killed Xiang Tian, he believed Dong Tianlei could cover it up.
Xiang Tian slightly squinted his eyes, and as he slowly raised his hand, a milky white light gradually appeared on his left hand.
"What martial technique is that?"
Standing to the side, Xuan Yu curiously glanced at Luo Xue beside him.
Although his relationship with the two seemed good, they hadn’t been in contact for long. Moreover, the reason they established this connection was due to Wang Zhan.
Without Wang Zhan as a bridge, they would still be strangers.
Luo Xue also shook her head.
"During this time, it’s always been Brother Wang standing in front of us, so many matters were handled by him, and Xiang Tian and I never really had the chance to act. Naturally, I don’t know where his martial technique comes from."
"Furthermore, I’ve never seen him use it before, but I can tell its power is significant..."
Nodding, Xuan Yu kept his gaze on Xiang Tian.
As Xiang Tian slowly raised his hand, he could even feel a tremor in the energy between heaven and earth.
Evidently, this technique surpassed even what he had been cultivating.
Xuan Yu’s lips curled into a faint smile as he muttered to himself, "It seems there are indeed many astonishing aspects to you all. I must say, Dong Tianlei’s foresight is sharp enough to have recruited you all."
"Surely, Dong Tianlei has discerned your abilities."
"I just wonder what your special skill is?"
While speaking, Xuan Yu glanced at Luo Xue beside him.
Luo Xue shook her head with a wry smile, then explained, "Naturally, I don’t have any special skill tucked away, and compared to Wang Zhan, I’m far behind. Given the combat power Xiang Tian is now exhibiting, I doubt I could stand a chance against him."
"It’s indeed quite shocking..."
Previously, Luo Xue might have maintained an edge over Xiang Tian.
Yet unexpectedly, in such a short time, Xiang Tian’s abilities have advanced rapidly, even to this extent...
Instantly, Luo Xue realized that during this period, although Xuan Yu seemed to follow Wang Zhan, he too spent all his time enhancing his skills, while she had remained stagnant.
It turned out she had been the one trailing behind...
Thinking of all this, Luo Xue awkwardly chuckled.
"Don’t worry."
Xuan Yu patted her shoulder, then spoke with a smile, "I can sense a powerful force within your body, surely you’ve received some expert legacy. In due time, if you can fully unleash the power within this legacy, naturally you’d become a formidable warrior, perhaps even I might not be your match."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xue grinned and replied, "Thanks for your kind words, let’s hope so."
Soon, everyone’s attention returned to Xiang Tian and his opponent.
Only to see, the man in white robes slowly raised his hand, and a longsword appeared in it.
Arrogantly glancing at Xiang Tian, he revealed a disdainful smile, then spoke coolly, "I initially intended to spare you some dignity, but if you’re seeking death, you can’t blame me afterward. Next, I’ll show you the immense gap between us."
While speaking, the man in white robes suddenly soared into the air, then he raised his longsword and struck directly at Xiang Tian!
A beam of sword light descended, suddenly landing before Xiang Tian.
Xiang Tian slowly raised his right hand, and as he squinted at the man in white robes, he shouted coldly, "White Tiger Suppresses the Sky Seal."
