Seeing the confidence in Wu Tian's eyes, Bai Ruoqi didn't say much more.
Because she knew Wu Tian was right; in her heart, Wu Tian had always been a reliable presence.
Since Wu Tian had said so, all she could do now was to trust him unconditionally.
After all, even if she didn't believe him, she had no other options at the moment, did she?
Therefore, she nodded and said, "Alright, but you must be very careful."
"If you are in any danger, then rest assured, even if I have to lose everything, I will not let him go!"
Wu Tian smiled and patted her head, saying, "Oh, it's alright, don't have so much hostility; it's not good for your skin."
Being patted on the head by Wu Tian, Bai Ruoqi immediately felt shy, her beautiful face flushing slightly.
Seeing this scene, the high-ranking officials from the Southern Region were stunned!
After all, Bai Ruoqi was like a goddess in their hearts!
They had seen too many outstanding young men pursue Bai Ruoqi.
Among them were wealthy young masters with astonishing fortunes, and peak ninth-level spirit cultivators, yet none of them had caught Bai Ruoqi's eye.
But what was happening now?
Who was this young man, that Bai Ruoqi would be so shy with him, given her status?
Layers of doubt spread through the hearts of those high-ranking officials.
They all focused their attention on Wu Tian, wanting to know what kind of capability this young man possessed to have gained Bai Ruoqi's favor.
Meanwhile, Li Feng also overheard the conversation between Wu Tian and Bai Ruoqi.
He already harbored improper thoughts about Bai Ruoqi, and seeing them so intimate at this moment, he immediately became jealous.
With a gloomy expression, he said, "Kid, I'm talking to you, who exactly are you?"
"Let me tell you, this is not something you can get involved in. You'd better think clearly."
"I have no other qualities, but I am never soft on my enemies. If you insist on opposing me, your end will be very miserable!"
Wu Tian chuckled coldly, "Is that so? What a coincidence, because I am also never soft on my enemies."
"However, based on what you've done and what you've said, I will not let you go."
"Since you've come, then be prepared that you won't be able to go back."
Li Feng was, after all, a ninth-level high-grade spirit cultivator. How could he tolerate Wu Tian saying such things?
To him, this was a tremendous insult!
Therefore, he said grimly, "Kid, I think you are truly seeking death!"
"I know you are a spirit cultivator, but so what? To me, are spirit cultivators so impressive?"
"I have educated no less than eighty or a hundred spirit cultivators, and they were all as arrogant as you, but in the end, they could only kneel before me!"
"And your outcome will be no different from theirs."
"In my eyes, you are just a piece of trash. A piece of trash has no right to be arrogant!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "I like your arrogant personality because the more arrogant you are, the more satisfying it will be for me when I slap your face later."
"You won't argue with me anymore. I have no interest in talking this nonsense with you."
"Aren't you in a hurry to make a move? Then come on. With just you people, you are not worthy of making a move against me!"
Wu Tian's words were a complete group attack.
For a moment, not only Li Feng was enraged, but even the spirit cultivators under his command felt extremely displeased.
After all, in this world, spirit cultivators were still too rare compared to ordinary people.
They were accustomed to acting imperiously in front of ordinary people, so how could they tolerate Wu Tian's mockery now?
Immediately, an eighth-level spirit cultivator grunted and roared at Wu Tian, "You bastard, how dare you look down on me? I must let you taste my power today!"
"If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one now, don't hide there and blabber!"
"I refuse to believe that a young brat like you can act so cocky in front of me!"
Wu Tian said indifferently, "One-on-one? I don't think it's necessary. After all, fighting just you is too boring. Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"
"I think it's better for you all to attack together. I'll deal with you all at once, saving time and effort."
"What did you say?!" That eighth-level spirit cultivator was so angry his lungs were about to explode.
With eyes full of fury, he said, "What an ignorant little dog! Then today, let me see what kind of ability you have!"
After speaking, the eighth-level spirit cultivator directly released his spirit energy, then stomped his foot and lunged at Wu Tian.
To be honest, an eighth-level spirit cultivator's strength was not low among spirit cultivators; it could even be considered to have entered a very high echelon.
He didn't hold back at all when he lunged forward, and the powerful aura that erupted made the high-ranking officials around Wu Tian feel a sense of dread.
Looking at his ferocious expression, Wu Tian simply said, "An eighth-level spirit cultivator. In the past, I would have found it very powerful, but now..."
Wu Tian paused, then his figure flickered, and he actually appeared in front of the eighth-level spirit cultivator!
"Simply不堪一击 (不堪一击 - unable to withstand a single blow)."
Wu Tian finished speaking, then lightly flicked his finger on the eighth-level spirit cultivator's forehead.
Although it seemed like a simple movement, an unimaginable force was injected into the eighth-level spirit cultivator's body.
In an instant, the eighth-level spirit cultivator's face changed drastically, and then his entire body was like he had been hit by a truck, actually flying backward!
The spirit cultivator flew to Li Feng's front, his neck was twisted. Although someone of his strength wouldn't die, he had clearly suffered a heavy blow.
Such an astonishing scene caused everyone to fall into shock.
Amidst the atmosphere of surprise and doubt, Wu Tian coldly said, "Next."
Li Feng recovered from his daze.
He couldn't help but re-examine Wu Tian, then said in a deep voice, "How did you do that?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious? Don't you have eyes?"
Li Feng's eyes became even more surprised, saying, "I seem to have underestimated your strength. To defeat an eighth-level spirit cultivator so easily, your strength must be at least ninth-level low-grade, right?"
Upon hearing this, the other spirit cultivators were shocked.
Ninth-level spirit cultivator?
This was just a young man. How could he possibly have such strength?
