Fighting Against Six Powerful Experts

Fighting Against Six Powerful Experts . . . 

A determined pursuit was underway, led by a formidable group of six supreme experts relentlessly chasing Qin Wentian. When the experts from the Southern Phoenix Alliance sought refuge, the White Tiger Alliance pursued them relentlessly across the academies, leaving no stone unturned. As they closed in on their quarry, they split into smaller groups, optimizing their search strategy.

At the helm of this relentless pursuit was none other than Gu Xiao, the innate sword king of the Paragon Sword Sect. In a previous showdown within the Evergreen Immortal Empire, he had reigned supreme at the sixth level of immortal-foundation, making him an unparalleled figure. His mastery of the sword arts was legendary, earning him the title of innate sword king. Back when Qin Wentian first entered the Stonebell Rampart, Gu Xiao had aimed to use his own progress to humiliate his rival. However, much to his chagrin, Qin Wentian astonishingly completed all 81 steps within a single day.

Now, Gu Xiao's cultivation had ascended to extraordinary heights, reaching the eighth level of immortal-foundation, a testament to his tireless dedication and unwavering pursuit of power.

Beside him, two Paragon Sword Sect experts soared on flying swords, one at the seventh level and the other at the sixth, matching Gu Xiao's formidable presence.

Complementing the Paragon Sword Sect's trio were three equally formidable experts: a greater demon from the White Tiger Race at the seventh level and two formidable individuals from the Skymist Immortal Empire, one at the seventh level and the other at the eighth. This collective assembly of power sent shivers down the spines of all who heard of it. Their aim was nothing less than to eliminate Qin Wentian, a mere sixth-level immortal-foundation cultivator, and in their eyes, it was a foregone conclusion.

Despite Qin Wentian's spectacular display of combat prowess during his battle with Lei Ba, Gu Xiao remained unimpressed. He believed that he himself could have handled Lei Ba with ease. Thus, Qin Wentian's feats, while commendable, were not enough to alter his perception. Now, with five other supreme experts supporting him, Gu Xiao had absolute confidence that they could dispatch even a ninth-level immortal-foundation expert with ease. In their minds, the outcome was sealed.

As Qin Wentian's figure came into view, his roc wings shimmering with lightning, Gu Xiao's gaze became as sharp as an unsheathed sword. In a voice that cut through the air like a blade, he delivered a chilling message, a cruel taunt aimed at breaking his target's spirit.

"Your friends are heavily wounded, and casualties are rampant. The holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan are exquisite, but their modesty may have been violated. If I were you, I'd choose to die now. Your sacrifice might ease the hatred of our alliance's experts, and they might not pursue the Southern Phoenix Alliance with such fervor once you're gone," Gu Xiao's words slashed through the air, reaching Qin Wentian's ears like a dagger poised to pierce his resolve.

The relentless pursuit continued, with six supreme experts closing in on Qin Wentian. Their intent was clear: to capture or eliminate him. However, it seemed that Qin Wentian remained impervious to their taunts and threats, his determination driving him forward.

But then, a voice from the pursuing group cut through the air, its words laden with cruelty. The speaker from the Skymist Immortal Empire decided to use Qin Wentian's emotional weakness, his wife Mo Qingcheng, as a weapon. They insinuated that she had arrived at the sacred academy and was in grave danger due to her beauty and the vengeful nature of their enemies.

In an unexpected turn, Qin Wentian halted in his tracks, his eyes ablaze with a fierce determination. He had no choice but to confront the possibility that Mo Qingcheng was in peril. His heart, which had been steadfast, now wavered under the weight of uncertainty.

Seeing Qin Wentian's reaction, the Skymist Immortal Empire expert smirked, believing their ploy had worked. However, in Qin Wentian's mind, there was an unshakable truth. His Eye of Truth, a testament to his deep understanding of the Buddhist path, allowed him to see through falsehoods and deceptions.

With a calm mind, Qin Wentian realized that Mo Qingcheng was indeed his weakness, and he couldn't simply ignore her safety. However, he also knew that the Skymist Immortal Empire expert was lying. The thought of something terrible happening to her was unbearable, but he was certain that nothing had occurred to her in the academy.

In an explosive burst of power, Qin Wentian unleashed his flawless immortal-foundation and drew upon the immense strength of his body. He emanated an aura that made him seem unparalleled in the world. With a resounding cry, he summoned a tremendous character of suppression, a symbol of his indomitable will.

The six experts, including Gu Xiao, were taken aback by this display of power. They anticipated a confrontation, but to their surprise, Qin Wentian turned and fled even faster. They hurriedly gave chase, but Qin Wentian had other plans.

With a palm pulsating with formidable energy, he abruptly halted, turned, and struck out. His palm imprint was colossal, resembling that of a divine being. Simultaneously, a multitude of ancient characters burst forth, resonating with the heavens and earth. A surge of law energy surged forth, suppressing the six supreme experts.

Gu Xiao, with a cold snort, summoned a sword domain, a realm of unrestrained sword energy that annihilated anything it touched. The powerful suppression aimed at him was rendered impotent. As for the other five experts, they unleashed their own attacks to counter the force. But just as they believed Qin Wentian was preparing to fight, he surprised them all.

Qin Wentian plunged into the midst of the six experts, his gaze fixated on the Skymist Immortal Empire's representative who had mentioned Mo Qingcheng earlier. Speaking words of truth, he exuded a supremely destructive aura. The massive character of destruction transformed into a barrage of ancient halberds, all directed at his chosen target.

Panic seized the Skymist Immortal Empire expert as he attempted to retreat, channeling the energy of divine elephants. Yet, the halberds, swift as thunderbolts, pierced through him in an instant. His face drained of color as he experienced intense fear and excruciating pain.

With a deafening blast, the ancient halberds penetrated his immortal-foundation, ending his life abruptly. The ferocity of Qin Wentian's attack left no room for reaction.

As the other five experts regained their composure, their eyes burned with an intense desire for vengeance. Qin Wentian had audaciously plunged into their midst to eliminate one of their own, and they were determined to make him pay for this recklessness.

Gu Xiao, the innate sword king of the Paragon Sword Sect, bellowed with rage, and in an instant, an overwhelming sword aura enveloped Qin Wentian, threatening to tear him asunder. The white tiger, seething with fury, unleashed its malevolent energy, intent on crushing Qin Wentian. Meanwhile, the Skymist Immortal Empire expert channeled divine elephant energy into a destructive attack. All their combined might was concentrated on Qin Wentian, who had foolishly placed himself at a disadvantage.

However, Qin Wentian summoned the image of a divine turtle, surrounded by ancient characters of suppression. The divine turtle roared, releasing a formidable pressure that nullified the force of their attacks. Even when the remnants of their strikes collided with the divine turtle, they couldn't penetrate its defenses. The coordinated assault of five supreme experts proved ineffective.

Qin Wentian turned his gaze toward the two Paragon Sword Sect experts, one at the sixth level and the other at the seventh. He couldn't fathom why they had joined the pursuit. With unyielding defenses, Qin Wentian extended a finger, invoking countless ancient sword characters that rained down on the two experts. The sword might they wielded seemed feeble compared to Qin Wentian's overwhelming power, rendering their attempts futile. In the end, the two Paragon Sword Sect experts, filled with reluctance, perished under the torrential sword might.

In the blink of an eye, three of the six supreme experts had met their demise, leaving the remaining three in shock and disbelief. They had come together with a single goal, but now, they questioned whether Qin Wentian had been fleeing earlier.

Gu Xiao, consumed by rage and a thirst for vengeance, unleashed a colossal sword that cleaved through the divine turtle's phantom surrounding Qin Wentian. His face contorted with malevolence, especially since Qin Wentian had killed two of his fellow disciples right before his eyes, and in such a dominating manner.

The sword's might intensified as it descended upon Qin Wentian, yet layers of fiendgod light enveloped him, and his immortal-foundation transformed. With a furious roar, Qin Wentian summoned a Zhenkong, its howls resonating through the heavens. As it roared, numerous characters of destruction materialized, causing the colossal sword to crumble under the pressure. Qin Wentian then raised his palm, activating God's Hand, and reached out to grasp the white tiger, preventing its escape. With a clench, he crushed the white tiger to its demise.

Now, only two of the supreme experts remained, both at the eighth level of immortal-foundation. One was Gu Xiao, the innate sword king from the Paragon Sword Sect, while the other hailed from the Skymist Immortal Empire.

Despite being struck by the Skymist expert while dealing with the white tiger, Qin Wentian floated back into the air, staring at the final two adversaries. His outstretched hands radiated an icy chill.

"Did you two truly believe I was fleeing for my life?" Qin Wentian questioned them with a sneer. "I lured you here to take your lives."

As his words echoed, the body of truth manifested behind him, and divine light enveloped him, making him appear like an indomitable god. The entire space was infused with a supreme power of truth as ancient characters for 'sword,' 'suppression,' and 'destruction' materialized in the air. These characters filled the sky, their radiance merging into a symphony of power. Qin Wentian now controlled this space completely, determining who would live and who would die.

"Innate sword king?" Qin Wentian's voice dripped with mockery. "Even if you truly were a king in this world, today, you will meet your end."
