Chapter 99: All of You Come at Me Together

After Wei Aoxiong arrived with the Six City-Guarding Generals, the morale of every city guard soared. The Six Generals were the most formidable commanders in New Leaf City’s garrison, and all the soldiers had complete faith in them.

“The Six Generals are here. Looks like that traitorous Wu Tian is done for today!”

“Of course. The six of them have followed the city lord for years and rendered great service to New Leaf City. They have wiped out countless bandits and invaders. Their strength is beyond question!”

“Now that the Six Generals are here, there’s no need for us to step in. With them handling it, that traitor is nothing!”

“Do we even need all six? One general would be enough!”

“…”

The city guards spoke with absolute certainty, and not a single one stepped forward to help, because none of them thought it was necessary.

“Bold traitor! I advise you to lay down your weapons and surrender at once, or the Six City-Guarding Generals will not spare you!” said the leader at the front of the six, pointing at Wu Tian with a cold sneer.

“Even if you are a disciple of the Heaven-Equaling Sect, breaking the rules in New Leaf City still means punishment. But seeing that you are young, we will give you a chance. Surrender obediently right now,” another man said with calm detachment.

“And if I refuse?” Wu Tian asked with a lifted brow and a faint smile.

“If you refuse, we kill you on the spot,” the leader at the front of the six said slowly as he drew his treasured sword, his tone indifferent, as though Wu Tian did not even merit his attention.

“Brother, this brat is pretty arrogant. No need for you to make a move personally; I’ll take care of him,” said a short man standing at the rear of the six as he stepped forward.

“All right. Little Six, go ahead. But don’t overdo it. He is still from the Heaven-Equaling Sect, and it would be troublesome if you killed him,” the leader nodded.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be very gentle,” Little Six said with a grin as he cracked his knuckles. “Kid, it’s your misfortune to run into me. Since you don’t want to surrender, then enjoy the pleasure I’m about to give you!”

Wu Tian looked at the short man and smiled as well. “I advise you to all come at once. Otherwise, if I kill you one by one later, you’ll lose face.”

A trace of chill flashed through Little Six’s eyes. He slowly donned a pair of steel gauntlets and said with a cold laugh, “You’re provoking me, brat. Die!”

The moment he finished speaking, the short man’s body vanished from where he stood. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Wu Tian, his steel-fisted punch already upon him. Before the blow even landed, a fierce gale erupted ahead of his fist, accompanied by sharp tearing sounds in the air.

“Lord Six has such incredible speed. He’s reached that traitor in an instant. That brat definitely won’t be able to take that punch!”

“Look at him standing there without moving. He must be scared senseless!”

“Serves him right. Who told him to cause trouble in New Leaf City? He’s overestimating himself!”

When the short man made his move, every city guard wore a look of certainty, and in their eyes, Wu Tian was already a corpse.

Boom!

A deafening impact thundered out, and violent spiritual energy swept in all directions, even kicking up dust from the ground. Then everyone stared in stunned silence.

The ground around Wu Tian had sunk several inches, yet he stood there motionless, gripping the steel fist of the short general with one hand. His expression had barely changed, as though Little Six’s punch meant nothing at all to him.

“How is that possible?” Little Six’s eyes widened in shock, and his mind nearly collapsed. He had only used eighty percent of his strength, but even so, it should not have been so easily caught.

“Such weak force. You can’t even break through my defense. Trash,” Wu Tian said with a curl of his lips, his tone dripping with disdain.

Little Six’s face flushed crimson at once, veins bulging on his neck. He ripped his fist free, then sprang upward, only to bring his fist crashing down at Wu Tian’s head from above.

“You’re the trash. Die!” Little Six roared hysterically.

Boom!

Little Six’s punch missed Wu Tian’s head and instead slammed into the ground where Wu Tian had been standing. The stone slabs instantly cracked apart, and countless fragments flew everywhere.

The shock in Little Six’s eyes deepened. In that instant, he felt a chill run down his back.

“If your strength is useless, then your speed is just as trash. Fail. There is no point in your continued existence.”

Wu Tian’s mocking voice sounded behind Little Six, and then his Black Dragon Saber was already at Little Six’s neck.

Clang!

Just as Wu Tian was about to slit his throat, a treasured sword blocked the Black Dragon Saber, and Wu Tian was forced to slide backward half a zhang before stopping.

“Little Six, are you all right?” the leader of the six asked anxiously as he helped him up.

“I... I’m fine. Thank you, Commander.” Little Six touched his neck. A line of blood had already appeared there. Had their leader not intervened in time, his throat would likely have been gone.

“My heavens! What just happened? Lord Six nearly... nearly got killed by that traitor!”

Only then did some of the city guards shake themselves awake from their shock.

“That punk doesn’t even look twenty. Why was he able to defeat Lord Six? If the great general hadn’t stepped in at the end, then...” Some of the guards did not dare imagine what would have happened next.

“Fortunately, our side has the great general. With him here, that boy should not be able to win,” the others thought with a bit of relief.

...

“I never expected this brat’s cultivation to be so extraordinary. Even you are not his match,” the leader of the six said in surprise, frowning slightly.

“Brother, I was careless and underestimated him. Let me go test him again. This time I’ll definitely beat him down!” Little Six said unwillingly.

“I can see it now. This boy is not someone one person can handle. Brother, why don’t we all go together?” the others finally realized that Wu Tian was not someone easy to deal with.

At that moment, Wu Tian pointed at the six of them and said loudly, “Now that’s more like it. It’s only interesting if you all come together. It would be far too dull if this were as easy as chopping vegetables. Come on, all of you together!”

“Hmph! Still so arrogant. Since you’re courting death, don’t blame us for being ruthless. Brothers, together!” The leader snorted coldly, shook his sword, and charged at Wu Tian first.

Rumble...

Several fierce sword energies shot toward Wu Tian. He leaped into the air and narrowly avoided them. Looking at the countless pits on the ground, Wu Tian clicked his tongue inwardly. “Tsk... as expected of an eighth-tier martial spirit cultivator. His strength is truly formidable, far stronger than that old fossil Nie Yuntian. The difference of a single rank is enormous!”

“Boy! You’re still daydreaming up in the air? Get down here!” Suddenly, a black shadow swept toward Wu Tian’s face. It was another of the six generals, delivering a powerful whipping kick wrapped in thick true energy.
