Chapter 62 Massacre of the Secret Guards

"Little Jin, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be in a precarious situation now... cough, cough," lying on Little Jin's back, Xiao Hui expressed her gratitude.

"Ao..." Little Jin let out a howl.

"It's all my fault for having inadequate cultivation. Clearly, I couldn't master such an excellent invisibility technique. I must strive harder in the future!" Xiao Hui gritted her teeth.

"Ao..."

"Thank you. Let's quickly go find the young master. We'll be safe with him by our side."

Little Jin is Wu Tian's martial pet, and there's a special connection between them. She can sense Wu Tian's current location. Carrying Xiao Hui on her back, she flies towards Wu Tian, while the dark guards from the Nie family are in relentless pursuit. Fortunately, Little Jin is a divine beast, with attributes far superior to ordinary demonic beasts. Carrying Xiao Hui, her speed is no less than that of a high-level martial artist at the Martial Spirit level.

At this moment, Wu Tian has already obtained the Blood Jade Grass from the Jimen Pharmacy and is on his way back home. Somehow, he feels a bit uneasy, as if something has happened.

"I must hurry back. It seems something has occurred. I hope Xiao Hui is safe!" Wu Tian quickened his pace while muttering to himself.

Just as he was about to reach home, he spotted Little Jin rushing towards him with the injured Xiao Hui.

"Ao!" Little Jin loudly called out upon seeing Wu Tian from a distance.

Wu Tian's expression changed instantly, and he quickly moved to Little Jin's side.

"Xiao Hui, what happened to you?" Wu Tian hurriedly embraced Xiao Hui, who had bleeding from the corner of her mouth. Clearly, Xiao Hui had suffered serious injuries, and that explained his uneasy feeling.

"It's... it's nothing, young master. It's all because my abilities are lacking. I couldn't master the invisibility technique proficiently; otherwise, I wouldn't trouble the young master." Xiao Hui weakly explained.

"Silly girl, you've just started learning. It's not that your abilities are lacking! Come, quickly take this high-quality healing pill!" Wu Tian promptly fed Xiao Hui a superb healing pill, and after swallowing it, Xiao Hui visibly improved.

"Who is responsible for injuring you like this? Xiao Hui, who did this? I will make them pay!" Wu Tian was now furious. Despite having Little Jin's protection, Xiao Hui still suffered such severe injuries, indicating that the assailant's strength was at least at the Martial Spirit level.

"It's Nie Huixiang. He came to make trouble for the young master, and then..." 

"Damn it! It's him again. This time, I will definitely kill him!" Wu Tian's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was determined.

"Haha... Wu Tian, finally, I've found you! Your maid led me straight to you. Wu Tian, today, here, we settle both old and new scores!" At this point, Nie Huixiang, accompanied by dark guards, caught up.

Seeing Nie Huixiang, Wu Tian's expression turned cold. "To harm Xiao Hui to this extent, today, I will settle the score with you!"

"Wu Tian, what does it matter if your maid is injured? I also want to kill you! Who gave you the right to be so arrogant? The City Lord's Mansion sent people to give you a congratulatory gift. If you refused in private, that would have been fine, but you humiliated Miss Qianqian publicly. Is obtaining first place in a sect competition something to be proud of? Today, I will seek justice for Miss Qianqian!" Nie Huixiang pointed at Wu Tian, his voice filled with righteous anger.

Wu Tian glanced at Song Qianqian beside Nie Huixiang, his gaze growing darker. "So, it's about seeking justice for a woman. Nie Huixiang, today, you will regret your actions. Regret getting involved in this matter!"

"Hehe... You're wrong. Today, I'll make you regret it. I brought experts from my family. Do you think you can resist with your meager skills?" Nie Huixiang sneered.

Wu Tian glanced at the ten dark guards behind Nie Huixiang. They were all Martial Spirit-level experts, nine of them at the first level and one at the third level. However, Wu Tian had also reached the first level of Martial Spirit.

"Nie Huixiang, today, I'll show you the prowess of my 'Three-legged Cat Kung Fu'! Your people will all become my experience!" Wu Tian smiled coldly.

"Hehe, such arrogance! Nie Huixiang, Wu Tian is so arrogant. You must help me teach him a lesson!" Song Qianqian couldn't tolerate Wu Tian's attitude and fervently incited Nie Huixiang's emotions.

"Qianqian, no need for you to say it. I will make this kid kneel before you and apologize! All of you, attack together!" 

With a command, the ten dark guards rushed towards Wu Tian.

"Little Jin, take Xiao Hui and stand a bit farther away, ensuring Xiao Hui's safety!"

Little Jin carried Xiao Hui to a safe location outside Wu Tian's attack range.

The Black Dragon Blade appeared in Wu Tian's hand, emitting tremors. It was already eager for blood. Observing the imminent battle, pedestrians on the street fled the scene. In this land where martial prowess reigned supreme, conflicts erupted at the slightest provocation, and everyone knew to stay clear to avoid innocent casualties.

"Die!" A dark guard swiftly appeared in front of Wu Tian, the sword in his hand mercilessly thrusting toward Wu Tian's chest.

Ding! The sound of the clash echoed as Wu Tian deftly blocked the dark guard's sword.

Wu Tian leaped into the air, and the Black Dragon Blade, with powerful force, descended upon the dark guard. "Seeking death!"

Boom! A burst of violent true energy surged forth. Another dark guard intercepted the attack, saving his companion. Wu Tian found himself surrounded by ten dark guards.

"Wu Tian, you have no way to escape. Surrender quietly, or if you resist, you're doomed today!" Nie Huixiang pointed at the surrounded Wu Tian, loudly warning.

"Black Dragon Blade Art, First Form: Raging Winds and Surging Clouds!" Wu Tian's response was a fierce onslaught.

Boom! A violent qi swept towards the ten dark guards, lifting the stone slabs on the ground. At this moment, Wu Tian silently activated the skill of his 'Wind Riding Boots'—'Wind Riding,' turning into a blur with triple speed, causing the dark guards to momentarily lose track.

Splurt! Instantly, Wu Tian's Black Dragon Blade pierced through a dark guard's heart.

"The first one!"

Splurt!

"The second one."

...

"Congratulations, player Wu Tian, for killing a Martial Spirit-level Nie Family dark guard. You have gained 10,000 experience points. Completion progress for the 'Nie Family Terminator' side quest: 33/200."

Triple speed enhancement was no joke. The dark guards almost had no time to react before being slaughtered by Wu Tian, their deaths contributing to his experience. The completion of the side quest was steadily approaching.

Nie Huixiang couldn't believe what he was witnessing. He had considered various scenarios, but never did he anticipate this one. The dark guards of the Nie Family were being massacred by Wu Tian single-handedly. These guards, clearly at the Martial Spirit level, were effortlessly slain by Wu Tian. Nie Huixiang was on the brink of madness.

"What are you all doing? Attack together! Kill this bastard for me!" Nie Huixiang pointed at Wu Tian, desperately urging his subordinates to rush forward. Unfortunately, he himself lacked the strength to participate.

Sneer! Right after Nie Huixiang's words, Wu Tian once again pierced through a dark guard's heart.

"The sixth one. I'm only a few tens of thousands of experience away from upgrading to the second level of Martial Spirit."
