Nie Tian stared at the grey-robed elder, his eyes narrowing.
Judging from his aura, the elder's battle prowess should be near the peak of the God realm.
Nie Tian guessed that this elder's position in the Wind and Cloud Alliance was not low.
Jun Aoqing steadied herself and looked at the grey-robed elder Cold. She did not speak, nor did she make a move. She was waiting for Nie Tian's response.
"Senior, I am Nie Tian, a member of the Nie Clan. I have come to the Wind and Cloud Alliance to seek an audience with the Alliance Lord." Nie Tian looked at the grey-robed elder indifferently and said respectfully, "I have no intention of offending the Wind and Cloud Alliance. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way."
The person before him should be a high-ranking member of the Wind and Cloud Alliance. Judging from his age, he should be of the same generation as Nie Tian's grandfather, Nie Dao. It was not wrong for Nie Tian to call him senior.
"I don't care who you are!" However, the grey-robed elder's expression was cold. "There is only one outcome for provoking the Wind and Cloud Alliance — death!"
Nie Tian was taken aback and couldn't help but frown.
He did not expect such a reaction from the other party after apologizing politely.
Admittedly, it was wrong of him to barge into the Wind and Cloud Alliance.
However, he did not actually attack the people from the Wind and Cloud Alliance. He only defended passively.
Even Jun Aoqing could only control the guards and did not hurt them at all.
The grey-robed elder saw all this. How could he not see Nie Tian's intention?
If Nie Tian was really here to provoke the Wind and Cloud Alliance, the guards before him would have been long dead.
This grey-robed elder's way of doing things was too domineering.
"Storm Royal Guards!" At this moment, the grey-robed elder suddenly roared. The space around him shook and nine black-robed cultivators appeared, standing in the air and staring coldly at Nie Tian and Jun Aoqing.
"Hmm?" Nie Tian's eyes narrowed and his divine sense swept across the nine Storm Royal Guards. His expression changed slightly.
All nine of them were late Paramount Gods, and their auras were very similar. Clearly, they were all of the same type.
Judging from the positions of these nine people, they were clearly cooperating with each other, and there was a faint aura of a formation around them.
"Kill!" The grey-clothed old man looked at Nie Tian with a gaze that suddenly emanated an icy cold killing intent. He roared furiously and actually gave the order to kill!
The nine Storm Imperial Guardians moved in unison, moving back and forth in the air. Suddenly, the entire space was filled with a vast and boundless power of the formation.
"Nie Tian, you have to be careful. These nine people are all Wind Attribute Martial Artists. Each of them will be the core of a formation and will form a formation." All of a sudden, Fat Cat's voice rang out, and Nie Tian said, "When the nine of them work together, they're even more terrifying than a peak Paramount God."
Nie Tian nodded slightly, then looked at Jun Aoqing. The latter understood, her figure flickered, and came to his side.
"Wind Surge, kill them!" In the next moment, the nine Storm Imperial Guardians roared in unison, unleashing their most powerful energy.
Nine gales of wind, combined with the power of the spell formation, were like nine wild dragons that shot toward Nie Tian and Jun Aoqing.
Nie Tian could sense the energy coming from above, and he frowned slightly.
The combined power of these nine Storm Imperial Guardians was truly terrifying. They were powerful enough to kill an ordinary peak Paramount God in the blink of an eye.
However, to Nie Tian, the nine of them didn't pose much of a threat at all.
That said, the dozens of guards in the area were in grave danger.
Even if they were only hit by the force of the attack, they would either be seriously injured or killed.
The Storm Imperial Guardians were like madmen. In order to kill Nie Tian, they didn't even care about their own people.
Howling, Nie Tian leaped up into the air and slashed out with his sword. This was his most powerful move, the Sagely Heaven Defying Sword: Human Sword Severing Stars!
RUMBLE! The sword intent was piercingly cold, and the image of the sword was like a dragon as it shot up into the sky, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
At the same time, Nie Tian was hovering in midair, radiating the power of the stars, which transformed into an astral soul shield that spread out to protect the dozens of guards in the area.
RUMBLE! In the next moment, the terrifying forces collided with each other. That sword shadow was extremely terrifying. The power of the sword intent bloomed, and the destructive power surged out, directly breaking through the nine gales.
The nine Storm Imperial Guardians were struck by the sword intent, and were sent flying.
BANG! On the other side, the frozen space shattered under the impact of the sword intent.
The dozens of guards were protected by the astral soul shield, and thus weren't injured. They immediately retreated to safety.
"What?" The gray-robed old man's eyes widened.
Clearly, he hadn't expected Nie Tian to be so strong, which was far beyond his expectations.
But Nie Tian was clearly only a mid Paramount God.
And yet, he was able to destroy the attacks of nine Storm Imperial Guardians with a single sword strike.
The gray-robed old man's gaze on Nie Tian grew even colder, and his killing intent surged.
Nie Tian could sense the killing intent, and his expression darkened.
He didn't understand why the gray-robed old man would want to kill him so badly. After all, he hadn't done anything since coming to the Windcloud Alliance.
He might have trespassed, but he hadn't provoked them.
Didn't his actions just now prove everything?
He'd even personally protected the dozens of guards. Wasn't that proof of his good intentions?
More importantly, he hadn't used his full strength just now. If he had, the nine Storm Imperial Guardians would have been seriously injured, if not dead.
The nine Storm Imperial Guardians hovered in the air. Although they weren't injured, they were deeply shaken. They looked at Nie Tian with fear and trepidation.
How could they have ever imagined that this young cultivator would have such shocking battle prowess?
"Brat, how dare you attack in the Windcloud Alliance! You're courting death!" At this moment, the grey-robed old man let out a low roar. His figure flashed into the air, and his eyes locked onto Nie Tian with killing intent.
Nie Tian looked at the gray-robed old man with a grim expression.
The fact that the gray-robed old man had ordered the Storm Imperial Guardians to attack was already very strange.
But now he wanted to do it himself. That was even stranger.
Furthermore, his killing intent toward Nie Tian was so intense that it seemed like he wanted to kill him.
Nie Tian had already made his intentions clear, but the gray-robed old man still insisted on killing him. That made him very suspicious.
He was curious as to where the gray-robed old man's killing intent came from!
At this moment, even the guards were looking at the gray-robed old man in confusion. Clearly, they couldn't understand his actions.
Nie Tian didn't kill him, and he even saved him. Clearly, he wasn't the instigator.
However, the guards didn't say anything because the gray-robed old man had a high status. He was one of the two Deputy Alliance Leaders of the Windcloud Alliance, Ren Quanchen!
Everyone in the Windcloud Alliance knew that Ren Quanchen was narrow-minded, cruel, and bloodthirsty.
If they doubted him in front of him, they would be courting death.
Ren Quanchen seemed to have made up his mind to kill Nie Tian.
