7 Winning without Fighting (1/2)
[Enhanced item has been destroyed!]
A breeze swept past inside Jiang Tian's robes as his underwear dissipated into nothingness. The lethal strike prevention effect that he acquired as the system's reward for his first successful enhancement destroys the enhanced item after usage.
Jiang Tian's sudden appearance perplexed everyone in the battlefield including the disciples from the Xia Clan and especially the three bald-headed youths from the Silent Monastery.
They knew more than anyone about how strong their condensed attack was, and to block it required greater force than what they used in the attack.
Tang Zemin, the leader of the three youths narrowed his eyes and observed Jiang Tian. His astonishment transformed into confusion when he realized that he couldn't see any foundation of cultivation within Jiang Tian's body nor any trace of Spiritual Energy.
”A mortal?”
His two brothers mumbled at the side while those from the Xia Clan also thought the same. The young man didn't emanate any trace of Spiritual Energy and his navel looked empty without any foundation.
By definition, Jiang Tian was definitely a mortal.
However, this realization only served to further increase their terror and fear towards the former. Someone that can easily block their combined attack while not giving off any trace of Spiritual Energy meant that his cultivation wasn't something that they couldn't see through with their current boundary.
Within the next instance, Tang Zemin's demeanor changed into a friendly one, and so did his brothers as the three of them bowed their heads and clasped their hands together in respect.
”Senior, we are sorry for having you witness such a scene. However, both of our clans are enemies since time immemorial, we cannot possibly let them go lest they find us for vengeance...” Tang Zemin announced.
”Yes, that's right, and I am sure that Senior is also familiar with the phrase, annihilate an enemy to their roots and one should not release a tiger back to the mountain, right?”
”Senior, after everything is well and done, we three brothers will invite you to our humble sect, I'm sure that our Patriarch will also welcome you with everything that he has.”
The three fawned at him with everything that they had. The disciples from the Xia Clan who realized their actions also did the same and shouted.
”No, Senior! Don't listen to those three bald monks! After they are done with us, they will certainly combine their strength together in an effort to kill you since you're a witness!”
”That's right, Senior! Those bastards from the Silent Monastery are a bunch of despicable bastards! Senior, we're from the Xia Clan and if you helped us, we will forever be in your debt!”
Towards these shouts of boot-licking and pleading. Jiang Tian maintained his composure and indifference. Sweeping his gaze over the Xia Clan's side. Jiang Tian confirmed that the robes that they wore looked identical to Xia Bingyue's robes.
”So this is the reason why Xia Bingyue and her father is in a hurry to return to their Clan? The battle between these two influences is getting more vigorous as time passes by...” Jiang Tian mumbled under his breath and directed a stern gaze at the three bald youths.
”I have decided to intervene in this matter. I will have to ask the three of you to retreat...” Jiang Tian's words stunned the three youths. They stared at each other for a moment before Tang Zemin said.
”Are you sure that you're going to oppose the Silent Monastery for the sake of those small fries, Senior?” Tang Zemin slightly smiled as he mocked.
Jiang Tian knitted his eyebrows, the wind swept past his robes as a terrifying intent that he cultivated back in his previous world leaked out of his soul, intimidating the three youths as he shouted.
”Insolence! My decision isn't something that juniors like you can easily influence! Go back to your Sect before I run out of patience!”
His stern shout sent shivers down the spine of the three youths as they stared at each other and retreated. Tang Zemin clicked his tongue, just a little bit more and he could've already acquired the tokens of these small fries and exchanged them for mystical techniques!
The three showed their unwillingness as their faces shone in resplendent lights of anger, fear, confusion, and uncertainty. Jiang Tian merely crossed his arms together before saying, ”If you're that unconvinced about my power, how about you send me another one of that attack earlier...”
”However...”
