"How dare you!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw Zhu Tai. One of them stepped forward fearlessly and arrived in front of Zhu Tai. He looked at him and said fiercely, "Do you think there's no one in my Kuishui Sect?!"
After he finished speaking, a three-chi long sword appeared in his hand. A sword qi rushed towards Zhu Tai's face. It was so fast that it almost flashed past.
"Sword cultivator?"
"Heh, I didn't expect a sword cultivator to be hidden in a small Kuishui Sect. Really …"
Looking at the middle-aged man, Zhu Tai was slightly shocked. Sword cultivators were very popular in this world. A sword cultivator could be said to have a bright future for the sect. After all, sword cultivators were very rare.
Of course, there were many who used swords. However, those who could truly be called sword cultivators were those who entered the Dao with the sword. They were different from ordinary cultivators who only had the Dao of the Sword.
The Dao of the Sword was to press forward and be invincible. Sword cultivators could only advance and not retreat. Otherwise, they would be defeated.
"Hmph, since you know that I'm a sword cultivator, quickly retreat. Don't fall out with me." As for Zhu Tai, he did not want to make a move. After all, the other party was from the Array Guild. Although he knew that he was a sword cultivator, in comparison, it was not as important as the Array Master profession. Moreover, the other party's power was much stronger than the Kuishui Sect.
He wouldn't dare to attack him unless it was a critical moment. After all … he hadn't reached the point where he would live and die with the sect.
However, Zhu Tai acted as if he didn't hear the man's reprimand. He didn't care about the sword qi in front of him. He stepped forward and approached the man step by step.
"You …"
The man smiled bitterly when he saw Zhu Tai's reaction. The sword Qi in front of Zhu Tai slowly retreated as Zhu Tai took a step forward.
This scene fell into the hearts of the surrounding people. They shook their heads slightly. This scene made them understand that this sword cultivator's state of mind was broken.
As for the path of a sword cultivator, it was completely broken when he retreated. Just now, it was enough to show that he … wasn't pure. He didn't have the state of mind and Dao that a sword cultivator should have.
"I wouldn't want this kind of sword cultivator even if he's given to me. It's just a waste of resources."
"Tch, such an existence still has the nerve to call himself a sword cultivator. Truly shameless. If it were me, I would have slit my own throat and committed suicide the moment my Sword Heart shattered."
"What a pity! A proper sword cultivator has actually walked to such an extent. It's truly a waste of his natural talent!"
For a moment. All the surrounding sects began to sigh one after another. Of course, there were sighs and naturally there were those who were watching the show, especially those who didn't want to see the rise of the Kui Water Sect. This scene undoubtedly gave them a reassuring pill.
"You have two choices!"
Zhu Tai ignored the discussions around him. He looked at the man and said, "First, leave now and I'll pretend this never happened. Nothing will happen between us."
"Then … what about the second one?" The man asked subconsciously.
"Ah, second, of course it's you. But it's not certain who will die in the end. Are you sure you want to take such a huge risk for the Kuishui Sect? Moreover, I have the Array Formation Guild behind me. Are you sure you want to try? "
As soon as these words were spoken, any normal person would be able to think clearly about what decision to make.
Especially for someone who didn't have a sense of dependence on the sect and was even dispensable.
When Zhu Tai finished speaking about the two choices, the man didn't even think. He looked at Kui Long and took a step back. He cupped his hands and said, "The mountains will not change and the rivers will flow forever. We will meet again someday."
"Whoosh!"
The man turned around and his figure turned into a long sword. He soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
"I …"
"Despicable person, you actually dropped the ball at this time!" Seeing the man leave, Kui Long was furious. This wasn't what he wanted. He originally thought that the man could resist for a while. But now, it seemed like he thought too much!
However, the Sages who originally wanted to live and die with the sect hesitated when they saw the sword cultivator Zhou Xiong leave.
Although the sect might have nurtured them, but … to be fair, this sect was no longer the same sect as before. Especially after Kui Long ascended to the position, the entire sect was in a foul atmosphere. It was no longer the place they yearned for.
Although the Kui Water Sect wasn't famous back then, at least it gave them a sense of belonging. But now …
Was it worth it?
They weren't sure. They didn't know if they would be able to protect the sect in the future. Of course, more importantly, they were up against … the Array Formation Guild.
"All of you, go! Whoever can kill him, I'll give him the position of Deputy Sect Leader!"
… … …
Originally, this place should have been filled with excitement and impulsiveness. But now, the Sages and even the disciples were still standing there quietly and indifferently. Perhaps, if they were facing the Xuanzong Sect, the conditions just now might have made them risk their lives. But facing Zhu Tai, they didn't have any thoughts of fighting for fame and fortune.
It was easy to choose between life and fame and fortune. After all, without life, those were just worldly possessions.
"Why … why aren't you moving?"
Looking at the people who still didn't move, Kui Long's expression turned ugly. In the past, his orders were equivalent to an imperial edict. But now …
"First Brother, Second Brother, you two go." He looked at his first and second disciples. He was very confident in them. After all, he taught them personally.
However, he didn't expect that the two of them also didn't move. They were still standing there and looking at him coldly.
Indeed, he taught them personally. But what they learned wasn't just his cultivation method and array formation. They learned to prioritize benefits. As the saying goes, every man for himself and the devil takes the hindmost. This was what they were best at.
"You …"
"Heh, Master, you seem to have forgotten that Kui Water Sect doesn't mean much to us now!"
"That's right, Master!" He looked at Kui Long with a cold smile and continued, "With our aptitude, we can have a place in any sect. Moreover, what you taught us, aren't we using it very well now?"
As soon as he said that, the surrounding people looked at Kui Long with ridicule. This … was what they wanted to see. But they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Throughout the whole process, Zhu Tai didn't say much. This was enough to show how powerful the Array Formation Guild was.
"How does it feel to be betrayed by your friends?"
Zhu Tai looked at the indifferent crowd. He didn't want to comment on their attitude. Now, he only wanted to kill Kui Long. As for these people …
They thought that leaving Kui Water Sect would change anything. But they underestimated Zhu Tai's vengeful mentality. There was no such thing as forgiveness. There was only killing. He didn't want to leave any trouble for himself.
Whoosh!
After saying that, Zhu Tai made his move. Suddenly, a scorching aura soared into the sky. On the surface of Zhu Tai's body, a scorching flame soared into the sky. He raised his hand and threw a fireball at Kui Long.
"You … aren't you an array formation master?" Kui Long was dumbfounded when he saw the fireball rushing towards him.
He could still distinguish the fireball of a cultivator. This fireball wasn't condensed from Nether Qi. It was a complete body.
Shouldn't this be something that only alchemists or blacksmiths could have? Why would an array formation master have it?
Kui Long couldn't understand. But this didn't give him time to think. The fireball instantly appeared and smashed towards his face. Its speed was shocking.
"Bastard, how can this guy be so strong?!" Without thinking, he raised his hand and a black shield appeared in front of him.
With a muffled sound, Kui Long's expression changed when he collided with the fireball. The scorching aura became even more intense. At the same time, a powerful force surged out from the fireball and entered the shield. Then, it spread throughout his body.
Suddenly, Kui Long couldn't control his body. He flew backwards with the shield.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Dong! The sound of the shield hitting the ground echoed. Kui Long, who was flying backwards, rolled on the ground for a long time before he stopped.
A mouthful of scarlet blood spurted out from his mouth. His face paled.
In just one exchange, Kui Long was at a disadvantage. From the looks of it, he was even injured.
Hiss!
Gasps could be heard all around. Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.
Although Kui Long was despicable and shameless, his cultivation base was still decent. He was a Dao Fruit Sage. But now, Kui Long, who was a Dao Fruit Sage, had been blown away in one move. How could these sect masters accept this?
What kind of power was this?
Earth Sage?
Their gazes locked onto Zhu Tai, sizing him up. Some of them even released their divine sense to clearly see his cultivation base. Unfortunately, the result was that they didn't know anything. All they could see from Zhu Tai's body was a fog.
"What's going on? Why can't I sense Zhu Tai's aura?"
Right at this moment, just as he was feeling confused, an old voice exploded in his ears, "Put away those thoughts of yours. If you try to investigate this old man's disciple's cultivation or anything else, this old man will destroy your sect and slaughter your entire family!"
Everyone understood. They didn't have any temper at all. They knew this old man's temper. Perhaps if it was someone else, they might retort, but this old man was a man of his word.
More importantly, his cultivation base wasn't something they could withstand.
They bowed in Elder Mu's direction, indicating that they knew.
In response, the original pressure and chill disappeared. Everyone's tense bodies relaxed.
Zhu Tai didn't know about this. At this moment, he only had eyes for Kui Long!
Looking at Kui Long vomiting blood in the distance, Zhu Tai flashed and appeared in front of Luo Kong once again. Before Kui Long could react, Zhu Tai reached out and tapped his body a few times. Kui Long, who was already injured, was now lying on the ground as if he had lost all his strength.
"You … what did you do to me?" Feeling his body, Kui Long panicked. He tried to communicate with his power, but at this moment, he realized that although his cultivation base was still there, his power seemed to be sealed by something. He couldn't control it at all. It was like a pool of stagnant water, making him despair.
And he knew that all of this had something to do with Zhu Tai poking him a few times just now.
"I'm scared, I'm scared!"
"Unfortunately, no one can save you now, so accept your fate."
As he spoke, he squatted down and placed his hands on Kui Long's chest where his ribs were. His palms turned into claws.
The sound of flesh being pierced was heard. Zhu Tai's hands had already entered Kui Long's body.
Crack! The sound of bones breaking was heard. When Zhu Tai pulled his hands out, there were two bones in his hands.
There was a trace of blood on the white bones, which was very eye-catching.
"Ahhh!"
Suddenly, the sound of a pig being slaughtered was heard. Kui Long was lying on the ground, screaming at the top of his lungs. His body kept twitching.
Although he had the cultivation of a Sage, was it useful? How could he not be in pain when his bones were broken while he was awake?
"You're in pain now?"
Looking at Kui Long's screaming, Zhu Tai sneered and threw away the bones in his hands. Then, he placed his hands on Kui Long's body again and activated his cultivation base. The Nether Qi entered Kui Long's body and wrapped around his meridians.
"What … what are you doing? Don't …" Kui Long endured the pain and felt the Nether Qi wrapping around his meridians. He subconsciously thought of Zhu Taishun's words and couldn't help but speak.
He was scared. He didn't expect Zhu Tai to do what he said. He really wanted to pull out his tendons and skin him alive.
"Is that possible?"
With a tearing sound, he forcefully raised both of his hands. The Nether Qi wrapped around the meridians and turned into chain-like existences. In an instant, all of the meridians were pulled out by their roots from their original locations.
"Ahhhh!"
"Bastard, you … demon, you'll die a horrible death, a horrible death!"
Kui Long, who wanted to use his voice to relieve the pain, realized that this method was useless. The pain was still there, and it was getting more and more painful. He didn't even have the chance to faint.
"The real pain is yet to come!"
Zhu Tai withdrew his Nether Qi. He couldn't let Kui Long go so easily. He flipped his hand and a dagger appeared.
"What … what are you doing?!"
Under Kui Long's gaze, Zhu Tai held the dagger and came to Kui Long's chest. He placed the dagger on Kui Long's chest and used a little force. It seemed like he had practiced this before. He skillfully pulled out the dagger. His other hand came to the wound and grabbed a corner. A layer of skin was slowly peeled off by Zhu Tai.
"Ahhhh!"
The screams were endless and never stopped. This scene made the surrounding Sect Leaders feel a chill down their spines!
They realized that they couldn't offend this person. They would rather offend an expert than offend Zhu Tai. Otherwise … it would be normal for their tendons to be pulled out and their skin to be peeled off.
"Roar! Roar in pain! This is the interest you paid for betraying the Yun Family. I've said it before, I'll imprison your soul in the Nine Underworld Hellfire and let you be burned by the hellfire for all eternity. I'll let you know how foolish your decision was!"
"Oh, right. I heard you say that you have a daughter, right?!"
Zhu Tai grinned. He looked very elegant. However, in Kui Long's eyes, this was the face of a demon. It was chilling.
"Don't worry. I will take good care of her. Moreover, you will meet her soon!"
