Hearing the scream from the arena, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and their gazes were focused on it.
It was clearly Zhao Hailei's punch, and Nie Tian was just standing there. Why was it Zhao Hailei who screamed in panic?
At this moment, the crowd did not know Zhao Hailei's shock.
He punched out, but when the fist shadow hit Nie Tian's body, it was as if he had bombarded a huge net. Although the fist was strong, there was nowhere to exert force. Moreover, his entire body was deeply trapped, and he felt as if his opponent was an endless abyss, firmly clamping down on him.
"Go down!" Then, a faint voice sounded. Nie Tian's body shook slightly, and a blue light flashed. Zhao Hailei screamed and fell off the arena.
"What's going on?" The sudden scene caused the crowd to tremble, and they revealed astonished expressions.
Zhao Hailei took the initiative to attack, but he was rebounded by his own strength and fell directly off the arena. This was too strange.
"You … cheated!" Zhao Hailei steadied himself and looked angrily at Nie Tian on the arena. His expression was ugly, and his face was flushed.
"Cheated?" Nie Tian glanced at Zhao Hailei, shook his head, and smiled. Suddenly, he took a step forward, and a fierce sword will soared into the sky. The sword will was majestic, and it whistled out. In the void, there was a clear sound of a sword. A majestic sword shadow rushed toward the Heaven Pavilion in the sky.
Boom! With a muffled sound, a terrifying palm force pressed down from the Heaven Pavilion, blocking the sword shadow.
Nie Tian's action was so sudden that even the referee at the side of the arena did not react.
In an instant, the entire arena was dead silent.
All eyes were on Nie Tian, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Was this guy crazy? He actually attacked the Heaven Pavilion. There were people from the four great families there. Did he not want to live?
All kinds of questions in people's minds were expressed on their faces, and they turned into great shock.
At this moment, Zhao Hailei was also stunned. He looked at Nie Tian in a daze. His mouth was wide open, but he could not make a single sound.
The sword will just now was majestic and extremely terrifying. It was enough to kill an expert in the first tier of the Divine Wheel.
Only now did Zhao Hailei realize that he had encountered an unfathomable opponent.
However, none of this was important. The most intriguing thing was Nie Tian's shocking actions.
In front of so many people, making a move against the Heavenly-Approaching Pavilion was tantamount to challenging the authority of the four great clans. This was absolutely courting death!
Sure enough, a furious roar resounded in the next moment.
"Who dares to attack the four great clans?!" As the deep and furious roar resounded, the First Elder of the Mo Clan, Mo Xing, was the first to scuttle out. However, when his gaze clearly saw the person below the stage, his expression could not help but stiffen. The person who had attacked was actually Nie Tian!
"Lord Mo Xing, who is this man?" The other three elders also stepped forward. Their gazes locked onto Nie Tian as they asked in astonishment.
Everyone in Xu Mi Ling Capital knew the name Nie Tian, but there were not many people who had actually seen him.
It was not surprising that the elders of the Tang Clan, Gu Clan, and Qiu Clan did not know him.
Mo Xing's stiff expression softened slightly as he sneered, "Who else would dare to provoke the four great clans on such an occasion other than the newly promoted Red Robed Elder of the Alchemists Guild, Nie Tian?"
There was a tinge of sarcasm in his words.
"It's him!" The other three looked at Nie Tian and their expressions froze at the same time.
Nie Tian raised his head and smiled brightly. He said, "I'm sorry. I accidentally disturbed you all. Please forgive me."
Mo Xing, Mo Xiaotian, and the others looked at each other and were at a loss for words.
If anyone else had made such a move, they would definitely have been killed on the spot.
However, Nie Tian's identity was different. He was a Red Robed Elder of the Alchemists Guild. If he was killed because of such a small matter, the Alchemists Guild would definitely not let it go.
In addition, what shocked them was that Nie Tian was not only a Red Robed Elder, but his strength was also so terrifying.
It was Mo Xiaotian who had blocked Nie Tian's sword with one palm. He knew the power of that sword better than anyone else. It was definitely comparable to a warrior at the fourth tier of the Divine Wheel.
Now that he looked at Nie Tian, he felt that the latter had not used his full strength in that sword attack. It was just a casual move to test the waters.
To have such achievements at such a young age, it was indeed extraordinarily terrifying.
"It doesn't matter. Elder Nie, just be careful next time." Among the four, the first to express his stance was a slightly plump elder. He was the Great Elder of the Gu Clan, Gu Hong.
In addition to being the Great Elder of the Gu Clan, Gu Hong was also the grandfather of Gu Qiulong. He had heard Gu Qiulong mention Nie Tian before. According to Gu Qiulong, Nie Tian had once saved his life.
With this relationship, Gu Hong was the first to express his stance and expressed that he would not pursue the matter.
In fact, there was no way to pursue this matter. After all, Nie Tian was a Red Robed Elder and could not be touched.
"Since Lord Gu Hong has said so, I think we should forget about it." Mo Xiaotian also knew that Nie Tian and Tang Shisan had a good relationship. Naturally, he was happy to do a favor at little cost.
Mo Xing and Qiu Wuxi, the Great Elder of the Qiu Clan, looked at each other. Their expressions were a little ugly, but they did not dare to continue the matter. They only reprimanded coldly, "Don't do it again!"
The elders of the four clans immediately returned to the Sky Pavilion. The small disturbance was thus settled.
The crowd heaved a long sigh of relief. Their expressions were much more relaxed. However, the way they looked at Nie Tian had completely changed. It became complicated, cautious, and even respectful.
This guy had openly provoked the four great clans, but in the end, he had actually brushed it off with a few words. It was really shocking.
Nie Tian's eyes swept around and saw the reaction of the crowd. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile. He then looked at Zhao Hailei and said indifferently, "Now, do you still think that I'm cheating?"
Zhao Hailei seemed to have woken up from a dream. He swallowed his saliva and said hurriedly, "I'm ignorant. I didn't know that you're Elder Nie Tian. If I've offended you, please forgive me, Elder Nie Tian."
Nie Tian nodded slightly and left in a flash.
If he did not forgive him, Zhao Hailei would not have the life to speak.
It must be said that this action of Nie Tian made Gu Yi and Zhao Kuo, who were watching the battle from the outside, break out in cold sweat.
If the elders of the four great clans did not give face to the Alchemist Guild or joined forces, they could say that Nie Tian had provoked the four great clans and wanted to kill him. That would be troublesome.
Fortunately, the four great clans seemed to be harmonious on the surface, but they were divided internally and did not join forces.
"Big Brother Gu, wasn't Elder Nie's action a little overboard?" Zhao Kuo calmed down and asked in a low voice.
Gu Yi nodded his head but soon after, he shook his head and sighed, "I don't know either."
He knew that Nie Tian was extremely shrewd and was absolutely not trying to steal the limelight. For him to do such an action, there must be a deeper meaning.
Gu Yi's guess was right. Nie Tian's sword earlier, on the surface, was just to prove his strength to Zhao Hailei but there were two other meanings behind it.
Firstly, it was to test the attitude of the four great clans. It was very obvious that the Tang and Gu Families treated him rather well, but the Mo and Qiu Families had completely different attitudes towards him. This point, Nie Tian secretly noted it down.
The other meaning was that Nie Tian wanted to show his identity to everyone, so that his following battles would be much easier.
Knowing his identity and witnessing his strength, most people would choose to admit defeat.
Nie Tian did not want to fight match after match, it was too boring and tiring.
Following that, the Martial Meet continued.
