Wu Tian's tone was remarkably calm.
Judging solely by their cultivation realms, there was a vast disparity in their strength.
Yet, Wu Tian showed no signs of apprehension.
This made the anger accumulating in Hu Xing's heart even more intense.
He had fallen into the same perplexing cycle as Wang Mo.
My paper strength far surpasses yours, so from any perspective, you should show me some respect, shouldn't you?
I am a mountain before you, so insignificant, how dare you look me in the eye?
Fueled by such thoughts, Hu Xing said in a deep voice, "Young man, do not think that just because you are the Demon Punisher King, I truly dare not do anything to you."
"Once my move is unleashed, it cannot be easily stopped."
"And even if I could reduce its power mid-way, with your strength, you would still be gravely injured."
"Therefore, I advise you to think carefully, lest you cause me trouble!"
Wu Tian felt no pressure from these words of warning.
He smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Hu, there's no need for further words. I am fully prepared."
With that, he turned to Demon Subduing Heavenly Venerate and said, "Senior Demon Subduing, this spar is entirely voluntary on my part."
"Whatever the outcome, please do not seek trouble with Mr. Hu, alright?"
Demon Subduing Heavenly Venerate chuckled and replied, "No problem."
"The Demon Subduing Palace has always been reasonable. Since Sect Master Wu has said so, I naturally won't say anything more."
Wu Tian smiled and asked, "Mr. Hu, may I ask you to make your move now?"
Hu Xing's expression turned so grim it seemed water could drip from it.
His original intention was to warn Wu Tian, to make him less arrogant.
But he never expected Wu Tian to not only disregard his warning but to act in such a manner.
Did this not mean he was certain he couldn't defeat him?
As a Seven-Star Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Hu Xing possessed extraordinary strength and status. How could he tolerate such an insult?
Therefore, he said grimly, "Very well, let me see what gives you the right to speak to me in such a way!"
With that, Hu Xing stomped his right foot on the ground, and a deep, powerful ripple immediately swept outwards.
His strength had actually reached the peak of a Seven-Star Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
Such strength was fundamentally different from that of an ordinary Seven-Star Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
If he unleashed his full power, it would be enough to turn an ordinary Seven-Star Grand Unity Golden Immortal into ashes!
Wu Tian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and say, "I truly didn't expect this, Mr. Hu's strength has actually reached the peak of a Seven-Star Grand Unity Golden Immortal."
"In that case, it seems I may have chosen the wrong opponent."
Hu Xing said menacingly, "It's meaningless to say such things now."
"Since you insist on provoking me, I don't mind letting you witness what true strength is!"
"Everyone has moments of youthful arrogance. Some may not have to pay a price, but now that you've encountered me, I must make you understand that there is always someone better!"
Hu Xing's tone suddenly became high-pitched, and a beast-like growl emanated from his throat as dense immortal energy slowly gathered.
At this moment, a colossal figure appeared behind him.
The figure, though human in form, possessed a pair of magnificent wings, exuding a divine majesty.
"Oh?" Wu Tian's eyes showed a flicker of interest at this sight.
For from that figure, a trace of Immortal King's aura emanated.
Clearly, this move was similar to the Divine Physician Finger that Mo Taichong had displayed earlier.
He smiled at Hu Xing and said, "Mr. Hu, such a refined wind-attribute immortal technique is not something one can learn easily."
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Wind God Sect, right?"
Hu Xing said in a deep voice, "That's right, I am indeed the Deputy Sect Master of the Wind God Sect."
"You wanted me to use my strongest move against you, so this ultimate technique of the Wind God Sect should not disappoint you, should it?"
The Wind God Sect belonged to one of the Eight Great Divine Sects, on par with the Sacred Thunder Sect.
The ancestor of the Wind God Sect was the Wind God, one of the Ten Great Immortal Kings, so the phantom figure behind Hu Xing was likely the Wind God.
The power of this move had clearly reached the level of a peerless divine ability.
It seemed Hu Xing had truly been provoked and did not intend to hold back.
However, Wu Tian was not alarmed by this, as this was the outcome he had hoped for.
The reason he chose this method of combat was not out of contempt for Hu Xing, but to verify something.
This matter was of great importance to him, and the fiercer Hu Xing fought, the more he desired it.
As time passed, Hu Xing's move was almost fully condensed.
The colossal phantom figure exuded a heavy oppressive aura, making it difficult to breathe.
But upon seeing Wu Tian's demeanor, Hu Xing frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Why are you doing nothing?"
"Are you preparing to give up resisting?"
That's right, during the time Hu Xing was condensing his immortal energy, Wu Tian had made no move.
It was as if the one sparring with Hu Xing was not him at all.
The others were also puzzled but could not fathom Wu Tian's intentions.
To this, Wu Tian merely smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Hu, don't mind me. Just do as you please."
"My current state is already considered being prepared."
"What did you say?!" Such a statement was astonishing, sending a chill down everyone's spines.
They understood Wu Tian even less now.
What was this supposed to mean? Was Wu Tian really planning to confront Hu Xing's move like this?
That was a peerless divine ability unleashed by a peak Seven-Star Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
Its power was so immense that even an Eight-Star Grand Unity Golden Immortal would not dare to disregard it, right?
But what gave Wu Tian the confidence to say such things?
Did he truly have some trump card?
Even Demon Subduing Heavenly Venerate found this scene somewhat unexpected.
He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Interesting, very interesting..."
"It seems our Demon Punisher King's strength might be far beyond our imagination!"
Hu Xing was so angry he felt his lungs would explode. He knew Wu Tian was arrogant, but he hadn't expected him to be this audacious!
This was a move he had put his all into, yet what was Wu Tian's attitude?
It was as if he could easily break it!
He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care what tricks you're trying to play, but in the face of absolute strength, all tricks are useless."
"Today, the loser will only be you!"
"Take this! Great Wind God Fist!"
Hu Xing roared suddenly and then threw a punch fiercely at Wu Tian!
Instantly, the colossal Wind God phantom behind him transformed into a powerful gale, pouring towards Wu Tian!
