Chapter 1583

Seeing the confusion on the middle-aged man's face, Ximen Wudi also began to explain.

Upon hearing Ximen Wudi's words, the middle-aged man also understood something. He nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I'll go back right now and take it out for you!"

After his words fell, the middle-aged man turned and left.

"Wait!" Seeing this, Ximen Wudi hurriedly called out to the middle-aged man.

"What? You still want to stop me?" Seeing Ximen Wudi's manner, a flash of anger crossed the middle-aged man's face.

Seeing the expression on the middle-aged man's face, Ximen Wudi couldn't help but shake his head, then handed his storage bag to the other party, smiling lightly: "No, I just want to borrow you all for a bit!"

Seeing the storage bag Ximen Wudi handed over, a trace of surprise flashed across the middle-aged man's face. He then opened it and discovered that Ximen Wudi had not taken out any treasures, nor any poison or hidden weapons, nor any offensive spirit artifacts. This made his expression shift unpredictably.

Although he was a master refiner, he was after all not skilled in combat. If this martial artist wanted to launch a sneak attack, with his strength, he absolutely could not defend against it!

"Are you sure you'll only borrow us once? Once we leave, this Gu Jinzhi will close!"

Seeing Ximen Wudi so solemn, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said.

"Correct! I, Ximen Wudi, keep my word!"

Ximen Wudi said with a faint smile. To deal with this rabble, there was no need for any schemes or tricks.

"Fine! Then be careful!"

After hearing Ximen Wudi's assurance, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and then said.

Then, the few of them were about to leave, but just at that moment, Ximen Wudi's footsteps abruptly stopped. Then a violent gust of wind howled, and in an instant he was in front of the middle-aged man. Within the middle-aged man's shocked gaze, Ximen Wudi reached out with one hand, gripped his neck, and lifted him up...

"You, what do you want to do? Are you really not afraid of the threat of that secret weapon?"

Feeling Ximen Wudi's piercing aura, the middle-aged man's face changed. He had not expected Ximen Wudi to turn hostile on a whim, completely disregarding his words. Shocked and furious, he immediately roared at Ximen Wudi.

"Haha.... You think I, Weiwohai Society, would still be afraid?"

A savage look crossed Ximen Wudi's face. His arm suddenly increased its force, and he crushed the Lianqi Sect master's throat on the spot.

Then with a wave of his hand, he directly tossed aside the corpse of the thoroughly dead middle-aged man.

"Hmph, a mere bunch of trash. If not for that secret weapon my father left behind back then, I could slap you all to death with one palm!"

Ximen Wudi's gaze was icy cold, and he slowly walked toward the outside of the valley. Since those fellows wanted to put him to death, then Ximen Wudi did not mind letting them disappear from this world forever!

At this time, outside this canyon, more than five hundred people had already gathered. Apart from a portion being scattered cultivator martial artists, the rest were all powerful experts from the major factions!

The reason they had gathered here was to wait by the stump for a rabbit. Once those fellows from Blood Tianyang escaped from within the valley, they would immediately rush into the valley, seize that heavenly treasure — the Su Chiyan crystal — and then destroy it!

And at this moment, among these more than five hundred people, there were suddenly three people.

One of them was a middle-aged man wearing a brocade long robe, standing with his hands clasped behind his back. He was burly, and his entire body radiated a fierce and domineering aura.

This man was the lord of Tianlang Fort, and also the most powerful master refiner in Tianlang City!

Besides him, another person was similarly draped in a black robe, his body ramrod straight like a javelin, his features resolute.

This man was precisely the lord of Liuhuo Kingdom, Li Feilong!

As for the last person, she was an old woman. Her waist was hunched, her wrinkled old face was covered in creases, and she wore a blood-red long dress that wrapped her up tightly, making it impossible to see her true appearance!

These three existences who had surpassed the peak of martial artists all wore expressions of absolute confidence.

It seemed they had taken Ximen Wudi and the others in the Xuantie Mountain Range for dead!

And at this moment, these three also saw Ximen Wudi walking out from within the valley, and a flash of astonishment immediately crossed their faces.

"Huh! How come only one person came out? Could that kid have already been killed by the Xuantie Beast?"

Seeing that only Ximen Wudi had come out alone, Li Feilong immediately frowned and asked with some doubt.

Hearing this, the old woman waved her hand and said:

"Impossible! The Xuantie Beast is comparable to a two-star Demon King realm demon beast! How could a trash at the eighth level of Innate possibly walk out alive?"

"And he doesn't even have the key on him!"

The old woman's voice was somewhat shrill, sounding very grating.

"This....." Li Feilong was startled, and just as he was about to retort, he suddenly looked into the distance, his expression shifting:

"Look, the Xuantie Beast is coming!"

As Li Feilong's words fell, sounds of breaking through the air came from the distant horizon. Immediately after, an incomparably massive figure appeared within everyone's line of sight.

This was a colossal Xuantie Beast. It stood about two meters and fifty-six centimeters tall, with a body length of over ten zhang. Its entire body was covered in mottled bronze, and especially its head was covered in sharp horns, incomparably sharp!

At this moment, atop this Xuantie Beast sat an old man. He had the hair of a crane and the face of a child, and a pair of eyes that gleamed with brilliant light.

He was the only Wu Zong level master refiner in Blood Tianyang — Zhao Tianhe!

Zhao Tianhe's eyes revealed a strange light. His divine sense swept down, and he saw Ximen Wudi!

"It's him!"

When Zhao Tianhe saw the corpse of the middle-aged man beside Ximen Wudi, he immediately snorted coldly:

"Hmph! I knew those idiots couldn't trap that little beast. No matter how he hides, in the end he cannot escape the palm of our hands!"

Zhao Tianhe coldly shouted at that master refiner, then looked at Ximen Wudi and said coldly:

"Kid, I'm giving you one last chance. Hand over the key, otherwise you will undoubtedly die today!"

Hearing these words, Ximen Wudi's expression remained perfectly calm, and he didn't even spare Zhao Tianhe a glance. This made Zhao Tianhe fly into a rage.

"Seeking death!"

Zhao Tianhe let out a low roar, then his body transformed into a blur, charging straight toward Ximen Wudi. At the same time, a ball of flame materialized before him, and within the flame, a longsword burning with raging flames appeared.

This was his strongest trump card — 【Blazing Flame Burning Heaven】.

The moment this longsword appeared, it immediately emanated an overwhelming scorching intent. The temperature within several hundred meters around violently surged, as if a sun hung in midair, scorching everything around it.

Zhao Tianhe held his long sword, slicing through a blazing arc, and hacked straight toward Ximen Wudi.

In an instant, a terrifying flame sword qi blasted out, roaring and exploding like a ball of fire!

Seeing this, Ximen Wudi merely smiled coldly.

Then he flicked his finger lightly.

Whoosh~~

A jet-black blade light flashed into being, slamming fiercely into that flame sword qi and destroying it in an instant!

Puchi~

This scene shocked Zhao Tianhe greatly — Ximen Wudi was clearly only at the eighth level of Innate, so how could he possess such strength?

"Damn it!"

His heart sinking slightly, Zhao Tianhe did not hesitate, and immediately unleashed his strongest sword strike — 【Mad Thunder Sword Art】.

Whoosh!

That sword strike was extremely fast, so fast the naked eye could barely catch it, and in the blink of an eye it arrived before Ximen Wudi!

Ximen Wudi's eyes were chillingly cold; he stepped forward and likewise brought down a drawing-sword slash.

Boom~~~

The two long blades collided, and a surging gust of force raged outward, blowing the many martial artists around them to retreat one after another.

And Zhao Tianhe borrowed that force to disengage and explosively retreat!

However, Ximen Wudi did not intend to give his opponent the slightest chance to catch his breath. His footwork shifted, and in an instant he closed in on Zhao Tianhe's flank, throwing a fierce punch, his fist carrying the force of ten thousand jun!

Bang~~~

Under this punch, the void trembled unceasingly; the vast force caused even the void to twist slightly. This punch was simple and direct, but even faster and stronger, pressing down toward Zhao Tianhe's chest like a mountain.

"So strong!"

Zhao Tianhe's pupils contracted sharply. He had never expected that Ximen Wudi's attack power would actually be so great — the force of this punch could actually rival his own!

At the critical moment, Zhao Tianhe could only raise the long sword in his hand to block. With a crisp 'crack', the bones of his wrist were shattered by the shock, and then his whole body was sent flying backward, crashing hard onto the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Watching Zhao Tianhe fallen to the ground and spitting blood, the crowd was utterly stunned!

Defeated in a single move!
