The people in the square looked at each other. There was actually someone who dared to publicly provoke the Baili Sect sect leader, Yang Gongcheng. As the number one expert in the Taihang Mountains, Yang Gongcheng posed a rather high threat to the Taihang Mountains ancient martial art practitioners, especially now that he had broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm.
Disregarding everything else, if he wasn’t forced into a corner, Xie Rengui would still show Yang Gongcheng respect.
This mysterious stranger had actually dared to provoke Yang Gongcheng in public, and he even had a look of disdain on his face. His behavior clearly contrasted with the way Xie Rengui had cowered just now.
Everyone desired the Dragon City Talismans that were in the hands of the mysterious shadowy figure. No one could resist the temptation of such important treasures. Yang Gongcheng believed that he had the ability to take the Dragon City Talismans. His desire was even stronger; he could not restrain himself anymore. Also, he was being publicly provoked by someone else.
“Why wouldn’t I dare? Since you delivered yourself into our hands, I will gladly accept them.”
Even though Yang Gongcheng was cautious towards the mysterious figure, right now he could not show the slightest sign of weakness. Moreover, he was not necessarily inferior to the stranger. They would only find out who was stronger through combat.
Yang Gongcheng took a step forward and attacked first. In a battle between experts, victory and defeat were determined in an instant. The one who seized the initiative had a higher chance of emerging victorious.
However, although Yang Gongcheng had attacked first, a terrifying aura swept toward him before he had even appeared in front of the mysterious shadow.
The terrifying pressure was like a heavenly force, exploding from the mysterious shadow’s body in an instant. It was like surging waves, sending Yang Gongcheng flying backward.
The battle had barely begun, but it was already over.
Yang Gongcheng could not even withstand the mysterious shadow’s pressure. It was almost a one-sided contest; there was no comparison at all.
As for the mysterious shadow, it was still standing on its original spot and had not moved at all since the start.
In the square, everyone seemed to have been petrified, standing stiffly on their spots. Although the terrifying aura disappeared in a flash, they felt as though they had passed in front of the gates of Hell. Their bodies were cold and stiff, and they were so scared that they did not dare to move.
The shadow’s aura was too frightening!
It was not just the ordinary ancient martial art practitioners that were terrified. Even Xie Rengui, Yun Pengqing and the other Sect Grand Elders were so scared that they turned pale. Their legs were weak, and they could barely stand properly.
Prior to this, Yun Pengqing had experienced the mysterious shadow’s pressure to the others, but it was far more frightening now. He felt that just the pressure alone was enough to kill him a thousand times over.
Cheng Zongping nearly fell backward onto the ground. All the color had gone out of his face. He was covered in cold sweat as he realized that the situation was taking a turn for the worst. Only now did he discover that this mysterious person had not gone all-out the other day.
Wan’er and Wang Qian were still tied to the crosses. They stared wide-eyed at what was going on, but they were not affected by the terrifying aura. Instead, it was like a spring breeze had swept over them. It was exceptionally warm. However, from the expressions and mannerisms of the surrounding people, it obvious that the same could not be said for them.
They recognized the mysterious shadow. It was just that they had not imagined that he would actually appear again!
“Wan’er, could that mysterious person be a relative of yours?” Wang Qian licked her bloodstained lips, and her gaze gradually brightened. She had initially despaired, but right now, a powerful feeling of hope surged in her body. Intuitively, she could sense that the mysterious person had come to rescue them.
To regain hope after falling into despair was a feeling that few people experienced. Right now, Wang Qian was feeling it most profoundly. She was still tied onto a cross, and no one could understand the sense of despair that she had been feeling.
Both times that they encountered trouble, the mysterious person had appeared and saved them. Wang Qian suspected that the stranger’s appearance here was related to Wan’er. It was because she could not possibly be related to such a person.
“I don’t think I have any relatives.” Wan’er lowered her head, seemingly attempting to hide the wounds on her face. The blood in the corner of her mouth had a bitter taste, but her heart was even more bitter. She was somewhat regretful that she had not listened to Sister Wang Qian’s advice to keep the Dragon City Talismans a secret. If she had, they would not have ended up like this.
All of this was because of the Dragon City Talismans, and Sister Wang Qian had been dragged into this because of her. As she thought about it, Wan’er’s started crying uncontrollably.
“Wan’er, I don’t blame you for this. Even if you did not do so, I would certainly have brought up the matter regarding the Dragon City Talismans. After all, no matter which one of us held the Dragon City Talismans, it would have been useless. In the end, we would have certainly been unable to keep it to ourselves and would have talked about it. In reality, what you did was right. The sect indeed did not trouble us. Who would have known that the Baili Sect would be so shameless?” Wang Qian consoled Wan’er softly.
She knew what Wan’er was thinking. In reality, even if they did not speak of it for a while, it would have been impossible to have kept it a secret forever. The Dragon City Talismans in their hands were no different from pieces of scrap paper. Sooner or later, they would have had to take them out.
“Wan’er, don’t be sad. That mysterious person has appeared again. He must have come to save us. He might have come to save you. You will certainly be alright.”
Wang Qian did not know how to comfort Wan’er. She could only change the subject.
“But I do not know him at all,” Wan’er said as she shook her head.
“Just because you don’t know him doesn’t mean he did not come because of you. You’ve always been kind and have done many good deeds. He might be someone that you helped out previously who has come to return the favor.”
Wang Qian was not too confident as she said this. It was unlikely that Wan’er would have had the chance to do a good deed for such a powerful person even if she wanted to.
Wan’er’s had a simple mind. Her big eyes blinked twice as she subconsciously thought of Big Brother Mo. However, that made her feel more and more confused. She was not sure at all. Big Brother Mo could not be that powerful. The stranger was a strong practitioner and was much stronger than the sect leader.
Xie Rengui and Yun Pengqing gave each other a look. They saw the look of astonishment in each other’s eyes. They had seen powerful ancient martial art practitioners before, so they clearly understood what was so terrifying about this mysterious person. With just his aura, he could harm a Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner. What level of cultivation was that?
“The Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. Only the legendary Martial Arts Grandmasters could pull that off,” Xie Rengui slowly stated.
His cultivation was not high. He was not even at the Golden Elixir Realm, let alone the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, but as the dignified leader of a sect, his knowledge and experience were extraordinary. He even knew some things about strong practitioners at the level of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. According to legend, once one cultivated to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, the pressure they released could form a frightening, formless energy. This power was known as Compulsion.
It could be said that only Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioners truly understood Compulsion, having mastered the offensive power of pressure. Ordinary ancient martial art practitioners could only use their own body’s aura to, at most, cause psychological harm to their opponent. The harm that they could inflict on the body was almost zero.
Yun Pengqing’s lips moved, his eyes full of heated passion. As an ancient martial art practitioner, he could not help but dream of the legendary pinnacle of ancient martial art practitioners, the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm. It was just that the dream was too distant. It was impossible for him to ever make it come true.
The terrifying aura was like a storm, sweeping across the entire place.
Yang Gongcheng’s figure was sent flying, crashing into a stone pillar at the edge of the square with a loud rumble. The stone pillar shattered, and his internal organs were heavily injured. The flow of his Qi and blood reversed, and he spat out a large amount of fresh blood. He held his stomach with one hand and looked at Mo Wen as though he had seen a ghost.
How was it possible? He did not dare believe that he had actually encountered such a terrifying strong practitioner.
“You have only just broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm, yet you are already so arrogant and presumptuous. If you become an ancient martial art practitioner and become immortal, your arrogance will reach the heavens.”
The mysterious shadow looked coldly at Yang Gongcheng. His silhouette appeared before Yang Gongcheng without a sound, seemingly without moving at all. No one knew how the shadow appeared before Yang Gongcheng.
“What do you plan to do? Don’t touch me. I have people here with me.”
Yang Gongcheng finally felt afraid as he looked at Mo Wen with a horrified expression. He wanted to run, but he suddenly noticed that a formless pressure was pressing down on his body, making it difficult for him to even move. Right now, he realized that he had encountered a very, very frightening person. Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm cultivation! This mysterious shadow was actually a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Originally, Yang Gongcheng had known nothing about Martial Arts Grandmasters. After all, this level of ancient martial art practitioner was too distant, and it was almost impossible for them to come in contact with such a powerful practitioner. Through the Martial Arts Circle Convention, he had the good fortune to come in contact with a Martial Arts Grandmaster not long ago. That terrifying feeling was exactly the same as that of this mysterious shadow.
Even in his wildest dreams, he had never imagined that he would provoke such a terrifying figure. If he had known, he would not have dared to try to take a hundred Dragon City Talismans, let alone eight.
No matter how precious the Dragon City Talismans were, could they be more precious than his life?
“No matter who is backing you, you must die.” The mysterious shadow coldly laughed. He lifted his palm slightly, and Yang Gongcheng’s body flew up into the air. Without any resistance, he landed straight in Mo Wen’s hands.
“What do you plan to do? I also have a Martial Arts Grandmaster backing me. Don’t act rashly. If you dare kill me, someone will certainly seek revenge on you.” Yang Gongcheng’s figure trembled. His gaze revealed a look of complete panic.
“I don’t plan to do anything. I just want to confirm whether you stole something of mine.”
As he said this, the mysterious shadow took out a silver ingot from his clothes and casually placed it into Yang Gongcheng’s shirt pocket. Everyone in the square saw him do this. But no one expected that right after the mysterious shadow placed the silver ingot in, he would then reach into Yang Gongcheng’s pocket again and take out the silver ingot. He intentionally looked surprised and said, “Aiya, you stole my silver. I dug it out from your pocket. You actually dared to steal my things. Are you tired of living? Tell me, did you steal it? Come clean, and I’ll be lenient; resist and I’ll be strict. If you don’t admit it, I will make your life a living hell.”
The mysterious shadow spoke seriously in a loud voice as he lifted Yang Gongcheng’s body with one hand. His other hand held up the silver ingot. It was as though he was saying that it was a stolen item. Now that the person had been caught red-handed, he still did not admit it.
The people in the square were petrified and stood completely still. Before this, they had been scared of the mysterious shadow’s aura. Right now, they were stunned by the scene before them. Such a thing could actually happen! Everyone had seen that the silver ingot was placed into Yang Gongcheng’s pocket by the mysterious shadow, and they had seen him retrieve it. However, with this exchange, Yang Gongcheng became a thief that was caught red-handed.
Such a scene reminded everyone of Su Wan’er and Wang Qian’s encounter. If you wish to incriminate someone, you will encounter no difficulty in finding a pretext. Right now, Yang Gongcheng was also receiving such treatment. It could only be said that his retribution had come too quickly.
