"What do you mean?" Chen Dong was stunned at first by the man's words, then his brows immediately furrowed.
The man said with fear, "Didn't I tell you? He's too powerful. We... we are no match for him, so we shouldn't confront him anymore."
"If this continues, it won't just be Brother Dai, even we will fall here!"
And the man's words actually spoke the hearts of others.
They all said, "That's right, I don't want to fight him anymore, there's really no need."
"Look at him, he beat Brother Dai like that with just one finger."
"Our strength is not as good as Brother Dai's. If you ask us to go, aren't you asking us to die?"
"Besides, we are just strangers who met by chance, no one knows anyone. I don't think we have any reason to help you deal with him!"
Hearing everyone say this, Chen Dong was so angry his lungs were about to explode.
He said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? The reason that guy lost was because he insisted on going alone!"
"Think about it, we are four Middle Grade Immortals combined. Do you think we are not his match? That's hilarious!"
"I'm telling you, he's just putting on a show to scare us. In reality, he doesn't have much ability!"
"Besides, I have other means, so don't be afraid. With me here, there will be no problem."
"And do you think you can still leave here alive after what you did to that woman? It's impossible to think about it!"
Hearing Chen Dong's words, the expressions of the crowd immediately stiffened.
Yes, they had offended a High Grade Immortal just now, and she was the Saintess of the Sacred Thunder Sect!
Even if they left now, if they encountered her later, it would be a dead end!
Therefore, their thoughts changed, and they said tremblingly, "Then what do we do now? You got us into this mess, so you have to take responsibility for us!"
Seeing that these people were moved by his words, Chen Dong immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there will be no problem."
"I can deal with that kid, you just need to assist me from the side."
"You?" The crowd looked at Chen Dong in confusion and then asked, "Why should I believe you? Unless you prove it to us."
"Otherwise, your words have no credibility!"
Chen Dong nodded and said, "No problem, you just want to see it, right? Alright, then you all watch carefully."
After speaking, Chen Dong swallowed and a hint of malice and determination flowed in his eyes.
Immediately, with a loud shout, his expression became ferocious, as if he was enduring great pain.
Seeing this, Lei Qianjiao seemed to have guessed what Chen Dong was about to do.
Her face suddenly changed, and she subconsciously shouted, "Chen Dong, you're crazy!"
Seeing Lei Qianjiao so agitated, Wu Tian also became a little curious and couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Do you know what he's going to do?"
Lei Qianjiao's expression became very unsightly, and she said, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be trying to use our Sacred Thunder Sect's forbidden technique."
"Forbidden technique?" Wu Tian continued to ask, "What do you mean?"
Lei Qianjiao explained, "This is a secret technique created by the former Sect Master of our Sacred Thunder Sect. After using this secret technique, the user's immortal energy will be greatly enhanced."
"With Chen Dong's current strength, as long as the secret technique is completed, his strength may reach that of a High Grade Immortal!"
"There's such a thing?" Wu Tian was surprised, "But why would such a powerful move be a forbidden technique?"
Lei Qianjiao continued, "Because this move has a powerful side effect. After use, the user's body will fall into extreme fatigue."
"If you're unlucky, you won't be able to use immortal energy for a year, and even if you're lucky, you'll probably be unable to use it for a month."
"So that's how it is," Wu Tian actually smiled and said, "It seems this guy has really gone mad. This is clearly a desperate attempt to kill me."
Lei Qianjiao said, "So, before he finishes the secret technique, you should leave here quickly."
"With your current strength, it shouldn't be difficult for you to leave here."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "How can that be? My purpose in coming out was to save you."
"If I leave now, what's the difference between that and not coming out?"
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I don't care what secret technique it is. Borrowed power is still borrowed power after all."
"It's not that easy to defeat me."
Lei Qianjiao knew Wu Tian's personality. Once Wu Tian set his mind on something, nothing she said would be useful.
And now, all she could do was pray that Wu Tian really had a good plan.
After more than a minute of gathering, Chen Dong finally fully activated the secret technique.
His body didn't undergo any significant changes, but his aura was completely different.
That was definitely not the aura of a Middle Grade Immortal!
Even the people standing next to him, upon sensing Chen Dong's aura, couldn't help but take a few steps back, feeling as if a large stone was pressing on their hearts.
Their eyes became filled with horror!
They were Middle Grade Immortals, after all. If Chen Dong could do this, didn't that mean Chen Dong had reached the realm of a High Grade Immortal?
"This..." They had never expected Chen Dong to have such a method, so for a moment they didn't know what to say.
And after obtaining such power, Chen Dong looked at Wu Tian arrogantly.
He said with a fierce tone, "Kid, I have now reached the High Grade Immortal realm."
"Coupled with the three Middle Grade Immortals on our side, what can you use to fight me? Just wait to die!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely make you die a painful death later!"
Facing this situation, Wu Tian showed no fear.
His face remained calm, and he smiled gently and said, "What High Grade Immortal? You're bragging too much."
"Do you think I can't see it? Your current strength is only infinitely close to a High Grade Immortal, not truly entering this realm."
"And in this situation, there is still a considerable gap between you and a true High Grade Immortal!"
