Chapter 12 Wu Tian (4000 words)

Di Jun threw down the corpse of the Golden Immortal in his hands and quickly searched the battlefield for a worthy opponent.

Soon, he locked onto another extremely cruel Devil Cultivator; this one had just torn apart his enemy and devoured the immortal substance within the Golden Immortal's Origin.

Without any hesitation, Di Jun charged directly at the named Devil Cultivator.

Di Jun had been in this most intense area of the demonic conflict for three hundred years now.

Over these three hundred years, Di Jun had participated in hundreds of battles, normally after every two or three years of rest, he would join another, which was quite frequent.

In the beginning, Di Jun fought against the Devil Cultivators alongside East King.

Although Wang Shu said that Di Jun was already capable of briefly contending against a Daluo Golden Immortal, Di Jun did not fully believe it.

It wasn't until he and East King effortlessly killed an enemy at the Golden Immortal Peak during their first battle that Di Jun believed the words Wang Shu had once said.

After several more instances, Di Jun continued to act alongside East King until East King suggested they split up.

After all, East King did not want to play a supporting role forever; he also wanted to personally kill the Devil Cultivators.

Di Jun did not ponder much over East King's proposal and agreed to it.

After leaving East King, Di Jun became even more at ease on the battlefield, no longer needing to consider East King, he fully leveraged his advantage in speed and truly took the initiative in battle.

Advance when he wanted, retreat when he chose.

Over these three hundred years, Di Jun had also made some reputation among the Golden Immortals on both sides of the Demon Path, and even some Daluo Golden Immortals had heard the name Di Jun.

Di Jun once again killed his target, when suddenly, he sensed a dangerous aura.

Without any hesitation, he immediately used the Rainbow Transformation Skill and retreated a great distance.

Then he turned to look where he had just been and saw a Devil Cultivator in black armor standing there.

The Devil Cultivator slowly retracted his hand that had just thrust out, aiming at where Di Jun's head had been.

"It is indeed Di Jun, whose name I've heard so much about, quite a keen perception."

Di Jun faced the Devil Cultivator in the sky from a distance; he did not speak and just looked cold and serious.

His mind raced with thoughts about the Devil Cultivator before him.

Golden Immortal Peak in cultivation realm?

No, that's not right!

His cultivation realm seemed to be close to his own, just a step away from Daluo Golden Immortal.

Di Jun felt surprised and delighted at the same time in his heart.

At last, there was an opponent of equal strength.

One of Di Jun's goals here was to observe various paths to prepare for his breakthrough to Daluo Golden Immortal.

Currently, he had no chance to encounter cultivators at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal, and the path of Golden Immortals could only offer Di Jun some reference.

The Devil Cultivator didn't care about Di Jun's expression but continued to speak.

Di Jun believed that this Devil Cultivator would bring him a different kind of experience.

Looking at the armor on Wu Tian, it was all Innate Spiritual Treasure.

What's more important was the long halberd Wu Tian held in his hand, which, in Di Jun's senses, was at least a High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Moreover, Di Jun felt that the Spiritual Treasure seemed not yet fully nurtured.

"I am Wu Tian; dying by my halberd wouldn't disgrace your name, Di Jun," Wu Tian said arrogantly.

Wu Tian?

The disciple of Luo Hou.

Di Jun looked at Wu Tian, and his expression finally changed; his eyes and demeanor revealed shock.

The news that Wu Tian was Luo Hou's disciple was not just something Di Jun knew from legends passed down through the ages.

In this land, Wu Tian's name was also very well-known, and Di Jun had naturally heard of it.

Wu Tian, Luo Hou's disciple, and the only disciple Luo Hou ever acknowledged.

What made Wu Tian famous here was not just because of Luo Hou, but the reputation he made for himself with his strength.

Back then, Wu Tian was unstoppable on the battlefield of the Golden Immortals, with a fame much greater than Di Jun's now.

Back in the day whenever Wu Tian was on the battlefield, seven or eight seasoned Golden Immortals would need to confront him.

Not to kill Wu Tian but to distract him from killing other Golden Immortals.

But then Wu Tian disappeared, so over these three hundred years, Di Jun never encountered Wu Tian.

"A disciple of such an individual, resorting to such a lowly sneak attack, is truly disgraceful."

In this place, Di Jun also did not dare to call out Luo Hou's name directly.

Once called out, allowing Luo Hou to trace it back would surely mean certain death for him, even Hong Jun might not be able to save him in time.

Even with Di Jun's high levels of comprehension, he was merely a Golden Immortal, far too weak in front of Luo Hou.

"Hmph! I was just testing to see if you were worth my effort."

"Otherwise, how could you have escaped?"

Wu Tian said with a somewhat angry expression.

Di Jun did not argue with Wu Tian on this matter anymore, but his expression clearly showed that he did not believe Wu Tian's words.

Seeing Di Jun's expression, Wu Tian spoke again: "With your cultivation realm, if I truly intended to ambush you, how could I fail? And I now..."

Wu Tian suddenly stopped talking and did not continue.

These unfinished words piqued Di Jun's curiosity and also made him more alert.
