"What is going on..." Abbess Miejue's face was filled with astonishment.
She squatted down, intending to pick up her long sword, only to find that its weight was much heavier than before.
Even if she could pick it up, it would be with great difficulty, let alone perform any moves.
A sense of dread surged in Abbess Miejue's heart. She glared fiercely at Wu Tian and said, "Boy, what did you do to me!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Nothing. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your body. I've merely dispersed your internal energy."
"From today onwards, you should honestly be a normal person. This kind of fighting and killing isn't suitable for you."
Abbess Miejue was stunned, then burst into laughter. "Boy, you dare to trick me? How could a junior like you dissipate my fifty years of cultivation? Aren't you too arrogant?"
Wu Tian replied, "Arrogant? For you to say such things in front of me, who is the arrogant one, you or I?"
"If you don't believe me, just look at your own Dantian. Take a good look, is there even a trace of internal energy left inside?"
Abbess Miejue absolutely refused to believe Wu Tian's words. She sneered, then activated her inner vision to look at her Dantian.
But soon, her expression froze, and a look of panic began to emerge.
Her eyes trembled as she said, "How could this be, how could this be! My fifty years of cultivation! Where did my fifty years of cultivation go!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I told you, your cultivation is gone, so don't hold onto any侥幸心理 (jǎoxìng xīnlǐ - hope for a fluke)."
"Speaking of which, I'm actually helping you."
"After all, with your personality, it's too extreme. If you continue like this, you'll suffer greatly in the future."
"Now that I've removed your cultivation, and you can live as a normal person and enjoy your old age, shouldn't you be thanking me?"
Abbess Miejue could not accept this. Her eyes turned scarlet with rage, and she roared at Wu Tian:
"You scoundrel! You dare to cripple my martial arts, I will never forgive you!"
"I must kill you today!"
With that, she charged at Wu Tian with her long sword!
This long sword weighed fifteen jin. If she had internal energy, using it would have been effortless for her.
But now she was a normal person, and a woman in her sixties, her body already frail.
So as she charged with the long sword, after taking only two steps, her body lost its balance, and she fell directly to the ground!
"Sect Leader!"
Seeing this, the female disciples of the Emei Sect were greatly alarmed and rushed towards Abbess Miejue.
Abbess Miejue's face was ashen, but in her heart, she could not accept what had happened.
She cried out loudly, "Impossible! This is impossible! My cultivation! My cultivation!"
"Hey! Hurry up and attack! Kill him for me!"
"Hurry and kill him!"
Seeing the usually dignified Abbess Miejue turn into such a frenzied state, the female disciples of the Emei Sect lost their ability to think.
They exchanged glances, but not a single one dared to step forward rashly.
It was a joke. Even Abbess Miejue's cultivation had been destroyed by Wu Tian, so wouldn't they be throwing their lives away by rushing forward?
Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, they could only try to comfort Abbess Miejue while leading her away.
The entire scene fell into silence.
Although Wu Tian had successively defeated the Sect Leaders of Kunlun, Huashan, and Kongtong, the shock they had experienced was ultimately limited.
As for Abbess Miejue of the Emei Sect, her cultivation was among the top in the Six Major Sects, second only to Daoist Master Chongxu and Abbot Yuandeng.
But for Wu Tian to so easily cripple Abbess Miejue's martial arts, it was simply too outrageous!
Wang Sheng looked at Wu Tian's back, and his heart was suddenly touched, tears welling up in his eyes.
Wang Yan was startled and quickly asked Wang Sheng, "Dad, why are you crying? What happened?"
Wang Sheng wiped away his tears and said with emotion, "Daughter, I feel like I'm seeing Sect Leader Zhang return."
"The scene from a hundred years ago was just like this!"
"Sect Leader Zhang also intimidated the Six Major Sects single-handedly!"
"If Wu Tian can help us escape this crisis today, then I'm willing to give him the position of Sect Leader!"
"Ah?" Hearing Wang Sheng's words, Wang Yan was instantly stunned.
In her memory, Wang Sheng had always been a figure of authority, rarely expressing admiration for anyone.
But at this moment, Wang Sheng had given Wu Tian such high praise, which truly surprised her.
Meanwhile, on the sacred altar, Wu Tian looked at the terrified Six Major Sects and continued to smile, "Hey, you have all witnessed my strength."
"Now I advise you to retain a little dignity, otherwise, your Six Major Sects might lose all face today."
Hearing Wu Tian say this, everyone fell silent.
If it were before, they would have been enraged by Wu Tian's words.
They would have thought Wu Tian was being presumptuous.
But at this moment, not a single one of them dared to hold such an opinion anymore.
The strength displayed by Wu Tian had completely conquered them.
If he could achieve such a feat now, what about in a few more years? Would anyone in the world be able to stop Wu Tian?
After the silence, Daoist Master Chongxu suddenly smiled. He looked at Wu Tian and said, "I truly didn't expect this. I've been away from worldly affairs for years, yet such a figure has appeared in the martial world."
"I admit you are right. You are the second Zhang Wuji, and I must express my respect to you."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Daoist Master Chongxu is too kind. If it weren't for vested interests, I wouldn't want to be enemies with the Six Major Sects."
"But since things have come to this point today, we can only continue, can't we?"
Daoist Master Chongxu nodded and said, "You are right. We want to dispel the demonic cult, and you want to protect it, so there must be a resolution between us."
"Now it's my turn. Let me, representing the Wudang Sect, experience your peerless martial arts."
Wu Tian smiled and shook his head, "It's not peerless martial arts, just a bit of trifling."
"However, I have a suggestion. Why don't we save some time?"
"How about you and Master Yuandeng come at me together?"
