Translator: 549690339
According to what the elders of his family said, once a Martial Artist had entered the First-grade Realm, each progression required a substantial amount of time and effort, and it was difficult to make rapid strides without significant opportunities.
However, the current Pei Xuanjing seemed to not be restricted by this limitation.
Ma Wuji and others were shaken to their core, disbelief thick in their eyes as they looked at Pei Xuanjing.
The man had sent several of them flying backward without even using a weapon. The gap in power between the two sides was so wide that even a fool could see it.
Pei Xuanjing took one step forward, raising his voice, “It is impolite not to return something given.
Therefore, I think you should also take a hit from me.”
In his resonant voice held an indomitable will that could not be refused.
He lifted up his fair and slender palm, purple-green thunder light emerged and gathered in his palm, a terrifying power radiating from it.
Then, he struck out with his palm.
A purple-green Thunder Dragon roared, bearing a terrifying aura, rushed towards them.
Bang!
The moment Pei Xuanjing struck out his palm, Ma Wuji and his companions felt hairs raising on their necks. They sensed the terrifying aura inherent in that palm strike, an unparalleled aura that seemed to want to shatter the heavens and the earth.
In a daze, they seemed to see themselves being swallowed by the Thunder Dragon.
“Wujie Fist!”
“Xiaoyao Palm!”
Each of the nine men used their best moves, their boiling Blood Qi ignited, as if it were even going to burn the sky above to a bright red.
Boom!
The roaring Thunder Dragon collided with the True Qi and Blood Qi of the nine men, causing a trembling shockwave.
It was like a thunderclap, impact waves visible to the naked eye scattered in all directions from the point of impact.
The long street shook, countless stone slabs were swept up by the violent air wave, breaking into shattered pieces that flew in all directions.
In the face of such wild impacts, the expressions of numerous watching martial artists changed, as they were unable to suppress the shock on their faces.
Facing the incoming air wave, Pei Xuanjing slightly knitted his brows, then the Innate Thunder Gang Qi started to rotate, a layer of purple-green Thunder light appeared around his body, wrapping his whole body. Even as qi waves and stones came flying towards him, none could cause him any harm.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
When the dust and smoke dispersed, Pei Xuanjing still stood tall on the spot, the floor beneath his feet intact.
On the other hand, Ma Wuji and his companions all looked pale, traces of blood at the corners of their mouths, their clothes torn and disheveled, and their hair fluttering about, making them look extremely miserable.
Just by looking at their appearances, one would know who had won and who had lost this confrontation.
Of course, those people did not know that the reason Ma Wuji and others could still stand there largely unharmed was that Pei Xuanjing had shown restraint.
Although Pei Xuanjing had learned of Ma Wuji and others’ plot from Bai Xiaosheng, just as they confessed, he truly didn’t have any concrete evidence.
Under such circumstances, Pei Xuanjing naturally would not resort to taking lives in response to disagreements, therefore, he refrained from attacking with full force.
Now, he was just waiting for the results.
If the people from Six Gates showed up, then it would demonstrate the other party’s malicious intent, and they would certainly face death.
If the people from Six Gates did not show up, then everything would end today, and Pei Xuanjing would not say anything more.
A gloomy look on Ma Wuji’S face, he glanced at the calm and collected Pei Xuanjing, his eyes flickering as if he was mulling over something.
“Leader, we can’t let those people take action.” Zhang Xiaoyao’s low voice echoed in Ma Wuji’s ear, seemingly intended to stop him.
He knew what Ma Wuji was contemplating, whether to let the people from Six Gates take action.
But in Zhang Xiaoyao’s opinion, they absolutely should not.
If Pei Xuanjing hadn’t exposed them earlier, and the people from Six Gates took action, they could feign ignorance about the incident and cut ties with it.
But Pei Xuanjing had already divulged the matter. If the people from Six Gates appeared now, it would be tantamount to admitting their guilt.
With Pei Xuanjing’s previous words and presumptions already planted in their minds, it would be known to everyone that they were in collusion with Six Gates, there was simply no room to refute.
“Do you think we can stop them?” A bitter smile crept onto the corner of Ma Wuji’s mouth, his words struck Zhang Xiaoyao like a bolt from the blue sky.
Indeed!
Now, they didn’t hold the initiative. Since the people from Six Gates had already arrived, how could they possibly decide whether they would appear?
Sure enough, a resonating voice suddenly thundered down the long street. “Pei Xuanjing, the Remnant of Shenxiao, your evil deeds are innumerable. Today we shall arrest you!”
A group of people strode from the distance, radiating an intense aura.
The people from Six Gates really had come.
The various martial artists watching the scene had undecisive eyes and various thoughts swirling in their hearts.
If it hadn’t been for Pei Xuanjing’s words earlier, they might have thought that the people from Six Gates came to apprehend Pei Xuanjing because of the information they received, especially since the bounty on Pei Xuanjing was still hanging and had never been lifted.
But Pei Xuanjing had exposed the plot of the Justice Hall just now. Even though Ma Wuji adamantly denied it, the appearance of the people from Six Gates now couldn’t help but stir up speculation.
The Head Catcher of Six Gates, Wu Ea.
Pei Xuanjing naturally recognized the identity of the leading person.
For this renowned Head Catcher of Six Gates, Pei Xuanjing was well-informed.
He recalled the time when he first entered Tiandu due to the assassination by the Three Wolves of MO Bei, and met the God Catcher of Six Gates, the upright and honest Fu Changge.
As a Third-grade Martial Artist then, facing the long-established Head Catcher of Six Gates, Wu Fa, he had always wanted to meet him, but didn’t expect he would meet him here today.
“Did the Head Catcher come to arrest me today?” Pei Xuanjing asked with an indifferent expression.
Wu Fa looked average, if one did not know him, no one would believe that this extremely ordinary man was the infamous Head Catcher of Six Gates.
He did not rush to take action, his resonant voice echoing through the long street, “The infamous Slayer Taoist, who has countless experts dying under him. Today, this Head Catcher has come to invite you to the Six Gates for a talk.”
A playful smile spread across Pei Xuanjing’s face as he shook his head and argued, “If I were the Head Catcher, I would definitely not leave Tiandu so casually in the near future.”
As for the arrival of this Head Catcher, Pei Xuanjing didn’t mind, and he didn’t think the other party could keep him here.
However, he also knew that perhaps because of his feud with the Justice Hall, he had unknowingly drawn Zhang Xiaoyao’s attention, thereby reducing the pressure on him, making Zhang Xiaoyao’s plan proceed much smoother..
