In front of him, the mysterious and vast Legacy Divine Mirror, shimmering with brilliant radiance, cast its power upon him.
Within it, streaks of demonic energy flickered, gradually transforming into a roaring Asura demon within the divine mirror.
"Tian Luo Sha Xiu Gong!!"
"It is indeed a demonic cultivation technique!!"
Sitting quietly at the lower right of the grand hall, watching the surging demonic energy that appeared within the Legacy Divine Mirror.
A burly, stern-faced middle-aged man clad in black tight-fitting clothes displayed his anger.
He spoke, "Well done, you demonic spy, to brazenly infiltrate our sect, the foremost righteous sect in the world!"
"My esteemed senior and junior brothers, what are you waiting for? Kill this beast!!"
...
Looking at Zheng Kai before him, the middle-aged man's eyes burned with fierce anger. He turned to look at the others in the grand hall, his eyes glinting with deep killing intent.
Seeing that no one replied, he spoke again, "Under the Legacy Divine Mirror, this child's identity as an infiltrator has already been exposed. If we don't obliterate his soul immediately, what are we waiting for?"
"This..."
In the grand hall, upon hearing these words, the dozens of influential elders seated above reacted differently.
Some revealed killing intent, some remained expressionless, some showed hesitation, and others sighed mournfully.
However, overall, those who displayed killing intent far outnumbered those who hesitated or showed reluctance.
"Junior brother, please calm your anger for now."
The elder, presiding at the head of the grand hall, seeing this, spoke gently, "This child's guilt is clear. However, he is still a disciple of our sect, and we must give him a chance to explain."
"Junior brother understands."
Listening to the elder's words, the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier managed to suppress his killing intent and then said, "However, this child has been lurking in our sect for many years and has undoubtedly revealed many of our sect's secrets to the demonic path. We must not let him off lightly!"
The sect leader elder pondered for a moment and nodded, "Rest assured, junior brother. Regardless of the outcome of the interrogation, Zheng Kai will be punished."
Hearing this, the elder surnamed Sun's expression slightly softened, and he grudgingly retreated to the side.
After appeasing Elder Sun, the sect leader elder breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze downward.
"Zheng Kai."
Looking at Zheng Kai below, who was on the verge of death, with only a breath left, kneeling powerlessly, he asked indifferently, "Confess honestly, and perhaps you might have a chance to live?"
"I am not a spy. What do you want me to confess?"
At the bottom of the grand hall, hearing the sect leader's interrogation, Zheng Kai slowly raised his head, revealing a face covered in blood but possessing an extremely resolute spirit.
With his martial arts crippled and having endured three days and three nights of beatings, he appeared exceptionally weak at this moment, far worse than an ordinary person.
Yet, despite this, the stubbornness and resolve rooted in his bones drew the attention of the dozens of elders in the grand hall.
"If you are not a spy, why did you cultivate demonic techniques? Do you know that righteousness and demonic paths are irreconcilable, with deep-seated hatred between them!"
"On this point alone, we can take your life right now!"
From above the imperial seat, looking at Zheng Kai below, the sect leader elder spoke with a plain expression, "Cultivating Tian Luo Sha Xiu Gong is merely to become stronger. What is wrong with that?"
Zheng Kai's face was stern and cold as he retorted.
Sitting quietly at the head, the sect leader elder's face remained exceptionally calm, revealing no trace of emotion to Zheng Kai's answer.
However, after a moment of thought, he slowly raised his hand.
A crescent-shaped silver blade energy gradually materialized out of thin air, then transformed into an irresistible blade light, like a waterfall of stars, directly cleaving down.
With a powerful force pressing down, the vast blade light engulfed everything.
Standing in place, Zheng Kai's body paused. He stood there blankly, seemingly unresponsive to the outside world.
With Zheng Kai's current crippled strength, if this blade were to truly strike him, he would surely be annihilated and his soul scattered.
Sensing the immense blade energy descending from above, Zheng Kai's face showed no change. He simply closed his eyes, appearing to have accepted his fate.
The terrifying blade light descended rapidly, accompanied by the surging wind.
...
At this critical moment, the main door outside the grand hall suddenly opened, and a gust of wind swept in, carrying a fierce fighting spirit.
In front of Zheng Kai, the irresistible blade light was, at some unknown time, shattered by the ordinary fists of the man who had suddenly barged in.
Only then did the elders in the grand hall realize who the intruder was.
Within the magnificent, solemn, and sacred grand hall, a man dressed in a tight-fitting white combat suit now stood in the center, chest held high, gazing at the dozens of people seated before him.
"Uncle!!"
Looking at the person before him, Zheng Kai froze, his expression exceptionally complex.
"Are you Liu Wenjie, known as the number one martial artist in the world?"
From the front of the grand hall, the dozens of elders who had been seated on their chairs all stood up, their faces solemn. The sect leader elder, with a cautious expression, asked,
The weight of being the world's number one martial artist was no small matter.
"It is I."
Standing before Zheng Kai, Liu Wenjie looked at the dozens of elders above with a detached tone, saying indifferently.
"Bold rogue, how dare you disrupt our sect's council hall! What nonsense is this 'number one in the world'? Take this move from me first!"
An elder with a fiery temper, seeing Liu Wenjie's arrogance, attacked without a word. Two white jade curved hooks attacked from left and right, stirring up gusts of wind and whistling towards him.
A formidable power was unleashed.
The tips of the white jade curved hooks carried a bone-chilling gleam, stabbing fiercely at Liu Wenjie, determined to defeat him completely and then kill him.
Seeing this, Liu Wenjie let out a cold snort, and a dazzling spark flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, his invincible boxing intent, renowned throughout the world, erupted with full force!
Like an abyss, like a divine being descending, destructive power exploded forth.
In an instant, a heaven-defying fighting spirit erupted simultaneously, unleashing a fighting force capable of shattering all things.
Though situated in a magnificent, solemn, and majestic grand hall, at this moment, it suddenly felt as though an immense killing aura was surging, almost engulfing the entire place.
It was as if they were in an endless battlefield of slaughter and seas of blood. This strange sensation caused everyone present to tremble and fear.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
In an instant, the elder who had charged forward let out a cry of alarm. Not only were his weapons, the white jade twin hooks, shattered into dozens of fragments by Liu Wenjie's fist, but he himself was sent flying, with countless bones broken, beaten beyond recognition.
Scarlet blood splattered across the hall. Liu Wenjie took a step forward, his face as cold as ice, and roared, "Who else is not convinced? Step forward, and I will send you on your way!"
As his voice fell, echoes reverberated through the hall like rolling thunder, causing dread and panic. It was as if ants faced the might of heaven and earth, only able to prostrate themselves and tremble.
A strong scent of blood filled the air.
The previously furious elders fell silent, staring at Liu Wenjie not far away.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with fear, lest they be the next to die. Thus, they all collectively cowered.
After a while, they finally reacted, exchanged glances, and then, as if by agreement, they all stepped forward together.
"To deal with the universally acknowledged number one martial artist, there's no need for rules. Fellow disciples, let's join forces and take him down!!"
The sect leader elder gritted his teeth and said.
Behind Liu Wenjie, Zheng Kai's expression, initially one of shock, then uncontainably turned to anger as he cursed, "A bunch of shameless scoundrels!"
Looking around at the dozens of elders who were uniformly closing in on him, Liu Wenjie's face was stern, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
An extremely powerful martial aura surged forth. Liu Wenjie's black hair, without wind, rose, and his fierce fighting spirit burned, soaring into the heavens like a god of war.
The surrounding elders who were closing in were all at the Tong Shen realm. Strictly speaking, they stood at the same level as Liu Wenjie at this moment.
If it were a one-on-one fight, Liu Wenjie's strength would undoubtedly allow him to win with ease.
However, the sheer number of elders closing in was immense. Even a multitude of ants could bite an elephant to death.
Facing such a formation, even Liu Wenjie, the number one martial artist in the world, could not help but sigh, feeling a profound pressure.
Boom!!
Dozens of extremely powerful forces erupted simultaneously.
Sensing the dozens of top experts before him, Liu Wenjie did not retreat but advanced, taking a step forward.
Born for battle, until death.
The boxing intent Liu Wenjie comprehended was a supreme profound truth that grew stronger in battle, each punch more potent than the last.
Nourishing himself through battle, becoming invincible through myriad wars, this was the primary reason Liu Wenjie ascended to the position of the world's number one martial artist.
"No! This is impossible!!"
The next moment, a scene that filled everyone present with horror unfolded.
In the center of the grand hall, Liu Wenjie, like a god of war descended, suppressed dozens of martial artists of the same realm, rendering them unable to move.
With his own power, he forcefully pushed the dozens of elders of the Star River Divine Sect, the world's foremost great sect, into perilous situations, making them appear disheveled and distressed.
Fierce winds howled, terrifying power erupted, subtly carrying world-destroying might, and streaks of scarlet blood splattered.
Screams and wails were incessant, severed limbs flew through the air, and crimson blood was scattered everywhere. Liu Wenjie moved as if through an empty realm. In just a few breaths, several experts were thrown out, falling into pools of blood.
