1577 Rising Fame (1/2)
”The Yan Clan is going to lose the first round.”
The eyes of the spectators flashed with sharpness, understanding in their hearts.
Yan Zhong and the other Yan Clan's experts could also tell. Di Tian's formation breaking methods were truly powerful, directly manifesting a heavenly hammer as he smashed down with it. This heavenly hammer seemed to be formed from his astral soul and could incorporate runic diagrams into its attack. And because Di Tian was proficient in sealing-attribute arts, he was extremely suitable for breaking formations.
And as expected, not too long after, the formation was sealed completely. For the first round, the Yan Clan lost the challenge.
For the formation inscribed by Di Tian, the old man from the Yan Clan was clearly no longer as relaxed. His emperor resonance was first sealed. After that, boundless sealing light seeped into his body, sealing his law energy. Even the astral energy circulating in his body began to be sealed. This caused his combat prowess to continuously weaken. Those outside the formation couldn't experience this personally, therefore they wouldn't understand.
”Grandmaster Di, victory and defeat is already determined. It should be enough, right?” Yan Zhong spoke, indicating that Di Tian should release the old man.
”He is deep inside the formation. Everything is too late.” Di Tian spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, swords of sealing materialized one after another as they frenziedly stabbed into the body of the Yan Clan's expert. That mid-stage emperor was actually helpless to defend against it. After a few moments, his body fell onto the ground, dead.
At this moment, the entire atmosphere turned silent as everyone stared at Di Tian in shock. He actually killed the old man.
This Grandmaster Di Tian actually killed a mid-stage emperor from the Yan Clan who was also a grandmaster in the dao of formations. Also, he did so in the Yan Clan's territory. How truly audacious was this?
”How dare you!” The experts of the Yan Clan angrily roared, their expressions as cold as ice. In fact, several of them stepped out.
”Why? You guys can't afford to lose?” Di Tian swept his glance at them.
”Step down.” Yan Zhong berated, blocking his clansman. The experts of the Yan Clan all had unsightly expressions, glaring at Di Tian.
”Grandmaster Di, you wanted to challenge us, I graciously invited you over. However, are you trying to make an enemy out of my Yan Clan by doing this?” Yan Zhong's voice turned cold. A mid-stage immortal emperor grandmaster to their Yan Clan, was also considered a great loss. Also, he was killed in public. From this, one could very well imagine Yan Zhong's current feelings.
”Real men don't sneak around, why must you act like a hypocrite? A few days ago I was cultivating at my residence, minding my own business but somebody from your Yan Clan came over to provoke me, even injuring my serving girl. I naturally had to come and seek justice for her. But even before I could enter the Yan Clan, there was already a formation outside the entrance waiting for me. After I entered, you guys said that we would be sparring, but the first round, you all actually created a killing formation? What does this mean?” Di Tian directly shot back. ”If it wasn't so, I, Di, wouldn't have created a killing formation as well. If I was the one who died, I'm sure the Yan Clan wouldn't show any sympathy at all. You guys would only think I was overestimating myself and wanted to court death, right?”
Everyone felt their hearts trembling when they heard Di Tian's words. He was right, the truth was so. The Yan Clan was the one who first created the killing formation, their intent couldn't be more obvious. Sadly, their formation was broken by Di Tian, and the expert they sent to accept the challenge, died in Di Tian's formation.
Although the truth was such, but the Yan Clan was still an aristocrat clan. Di Tian's domineering reply was equivalent to smacking their faces, he was truly audacious.
Also, did Di Tian really come here just to seek justice for his serving girl?
Everyone knew it was not so simple but that serving girl of Di Tian couldn't help but to feel touched as warm currents flowed in her heart after she heard that. She had a faint look of pride when she stared at the back of her master.
Di Tian directly tore face, the Yan Clan had been completely shamed. All of them were radiating killing intent.
”Since you put it this way, don't blame my Yan Clan for being ruthless. How do you intend to fight the second round?” Yan Zhong coldly asked.
”Martial Formation.” Di Tian calmly replied. Yan Zhong then called out, ”Yan Mu, you will be the one to accept his challenge.”
”Sure.” A voice drifted over from afar. After that, a figure from the Yan Clan could be seen soaring through the air.
”Grandmaster Yan Mu.” The eyes of everyone flickered. This Yan Mu was extremely famous with very high attainments in the dao of formations. He is a respected senior and clearly since he didn't appear here at the beginning, he had not planned to accept any challenges. Yet now, he was forced to accept the second round's challenge by Di Tian.
”Grandmaster Yan Mu's formations are truly very strong, he is able to instantly form a formation. Since he is the one representing the Yan Clan in the battle of martial formations, this Di Tian would surely be in danger. Why does the Yan Clan feel like they are being bullied?” Everyone mused silently but they naturally wouldn't dare to say anything. Since all cordial relations have already been severed, the Yan Clan naturally wouldn't be polite to Di Tian. It was understandable that they sent out an extremely powerful expert.
Yan Mu was very old, he had a head full of white hair, but his cultivation was undoubtedly strong. The aura gushing from him caused a faint pressure to bore down on the atmosphere. He stood in the air and the long robes he wore fluttered without wind. His spirited eyes stared at Di Tian, ”A mere junior, yet you have no idea about how to keep a low profile? How can our Yan Clan, who has stood strong for so many years, be something you can provoke?”
The eyes revealed outside Di Tian's mask were exceptionally cold. He stared at Yan Mu, ”You are already old.”
