Chapter 8: The Initial Display of Majesty

  Only three young men in their twenties were seen walking towards them, with the one leading the way wearing a dark-colored martial arts uniform, with a heroic headband tied around his hair, looking exceptionally brave and fierce, with an extremely cold expression. The two behind him were one tall and thin, and the other short and chubby, both wearing white-based black Taoist robes. The tall and thin one had a pale face, it was unknown whether he was born this way or if it was due to his special martial arts skills, but in any case, he gave off an eerie and ominous aura!

  "My junior brother has just joined and is not familiar with the sect's rules, I hope you seniors will forgive him this time!" Ding Hao said calmly, without showing any signs of nervousness that one would expect from someone who had done something wrong.

  Ding Hao had already figured out the three people who came in. Zhang Li, a fellow disciple of his master Cangshu Fang's generation, was wearing a dark blue robe. He was the only grandson of Elder Zhang Heng. The tall and thin one was called Wang Yunfei, and the short and stout one was called Dai Zhenjun, both of whom were disciples of Zhang Li's father, Zhang Feng.

  Zhang Heng was extremely fond of his only son, Zhang Li, and shared with him all the cultivation materials and techniques he had painstakingly acquired. The technique that Zhang Li cultivated was called the Black Magic Cloud Technique, which Zhang Heng had obtained from an unknown source, and its power was immense. As a result, Zhang Li became the fastest progressing among the third-generation disciples, reaching the middle stage of Open Enlightenment at a young age, while many second-generation disciples had not yet reached this realm.

  It was for this reason that Zhang Li was exceptionally arrogant in the Wuji Demon Sect, and if it weren't for Zhang Heng and Zhang Feng keeping a tight rein on him, he would have long since charged out of Duanhun Mountain to cause trouble in other sects.

  It's also because he can't afford to provoke others, so Zhang Li can only find trouble with some disciples of the Wuji Demon Sect. Zhang Heng and Zhang Feng also know his temper, and seeing that he only finds trouble with people from the Wuji Demon Sect, they let him be. And since Wang Yunfei and Dai Zhenjun both follow Zhang Feng, they are naturally in cahoots!

  These three people would often go to find trouble with the third-generation disciples, relying on their not weak strength and the tacit consent of Zhang Heng and Zhang Feng. As a result, they were unstoppable, and the third-generation disciples of Wuji Demon Sect were already scarce, and after being dealt with like this, they all closed themselves off in seclusion! To the point where Wuji Demon Sect became even more deserted!

  The last time I heard that Ding Hao had already made up his mind to repair the three people who entered the door, but after they knew about this matter, Ding Hao had already started closing the door, thinking that Ding Hao was afraid of them and gave up!

  Recently, I was feeling bored with my cultivation when I discovered someone barbecuing food in the Wuji Demon Sect. The three of us were surprised and followed the delicious smell to find out it was coming from Ding Hao's room. We came up with a pretext to scold him under the guise of maintaining the sect's cleanliness!

  After understanding the situation, Ding Hao looked down on them a bit. Relying on their seniority and bullying the weak while fearing the strong was nothing to brag about. Looking at the three of them, everyone's cultivation was higher than his own by one level. Not to mention Zhang Li, but Wang Yunfei and Dai Zhen were both in the late stage of the Void Refining period, whereas Ding Hao was only in the middle stage of the Void Refining period. However, Ding Hao believed that with his physical strength and the secret technique of the Wuji Demon Art, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage against Wang Yunfei and Dai Zhen, but it would be difficult for him to deal with Zhang Li, after all, there was a difference of one realm!

  "You say one sentence and then it's over, where is the dignity of our sect? Newcomers to the sect are so rude, we three are your seniors, you dare not to stand up and pay respects, completely disregarding the rules of the sect. It seems that if we don't teach you a lesson, you will become even more arrogant!" Wang Yunfei said in a gloomy and severe tone, while Zhang Li and Dai Zheng also stared at him with cold smiles!

  Ding Hao thought for a moment, although the three of them wouldn't be able to kill him, he would definitely suffer a severe beating. Although Ding Hao's body was strong and resilient, the physical pain wouldn't cause too much harm, but being at someone else's mercy wasn't his style. Moreover, the Mo Men Sect valued strength, if he let them have their way today, they would be riding roughshod over him forever!

  "That... the so-called lesson from the three senior brothers, what kind of lesson is it? Hehe, I'll continue, the three senior brothers should be more merciful!" Ding Hao said with a fake smile, the pig on the rack was already roasted, and he had extinguished the fire. Ding Hao stood up straight!

  The three of them were somewhat astonished. Generally, newly entered sect disciples would have already hidden away in avoidance, and no one had ever dared to resist!

  "Alright, alright, you do have some backbone. Although I don't know what you're relying on, just this sentence has made me look at you in a new light. Dai Zhengjun, go and get close to him, see what kind of capital he has." Zhang Li ordered.

  "Haha, that's great! I'll see just how strong my junior brother has become after a year of training!" Dai Zhenjun sneered as he slowly walked towards Ding Hao.

  Ding Hao remained silent, his body already adjusting and preparing for the first battle of his cultivation. Dai Zhenjun's cultivation was unknown, but before he even arrived in front of Ding Hao, a deep red mist shot out from his hand towards Ding Hao. The mist emitted high temperatures, making Ding Hao feel slightly uncomfortable.

  Ding Hao's cultivation had always been assisted by the Eight-Winged Purple Wyrm's inner elixir, and the Eight-Winged Purple Wyrm's inner elixir was itself a substance of extreme heat. Ding Hao's body had long since surpassed ordinary people's imagination in its tolerance for high temperatures, and this degree of temperature had no effect on him whatsoever.

  Suddenly, Dai Zhenjun's footsteps accelerated, and in an instant, he arrived in front of Ding Hao like a whirlwind. His short and stout body seemed to have no hindrance to his speed. A bright red fist emitting high heat grew larger before him, and the surrounding air was affected by the friction of this high heat, making a faint howling sound. Ding Hao's eyes narrowed slightly as he focused all his attention on the changes in the fist.

  As the fist was about to reach his face, Ding Hao activated the Nine Ghosts and Demons Technique, and his body suddenly shifted one zhang to the right without any warning. Dai Zhenjun, however, due to inertia, passed by Ding Hao's shoulder and continued to charge forward. A cold glint flashed in Ding Hao's eyes, and in the next moment, he swept his leg at Dai Zhenjun's waist. Before Dai Zhenjun could even fall to the ground, Ding Hao had already closed in on him like a ghost and landed another punch squarely on his abdomen.

  After falling to the ground, Dai Zhenjun's mouth was already filled with blood, his two eyes were bloodshot and staring at Ding Hao like a hungry wolf. Ding Hao's move was quick and ruthless, when Zhang Li and Wang Yunfei thought of helping, it was too late. Ding Hao knew that although his strength was astonishing, but for someone in the later stage of Qi deviation, their body could still barely withstand it.

  He walked towards Dai Zhenjun again, and with a whooshing sound, he kicked towards Dai Zhenjun once more. Suddenly, a piercing sound came from behind his head, and Ding Hao let out a cold laugh, knowing that someone had finally lost their patience and started to make a sneak attack.

  His expression remained unchanged, Ding Hao began to consider whether he needed to kill the two of them here. Thinking that he still needed to stay in Wuji Magic Sect for a while, this approach was indeed unwise. Looking at the two people's cultivation after retreating, if he used Wuji Magic to absorb their true energy, it would definitely be extremely beneficial to him, but the current situation couldn't be so reckless.

  Having suppressed this tempting idea with great effort, Ding Hao had already thought of a solution!

  Time was running out, and in that instant, Ding Hao's leg sweep towards Dai Zhenjun didn't change direction, but his body suddenly rose a foot higher. Although Dai Zhenjun used both hands to block the powerful kick, his injuries worsened again. Meanwhile, Ding Hao's back suffered a sneak attack, but for someone with his physical strength, it was still bearable. The most painful part was that Ding Hao could have endured it, yet he pretended to be severely injured and forced himself to cough up blood through sheer willpower. If he had emerged unscathed from the blow dealt by a late-stage Qi-refining cultivator despite being only in the middle stage of Qi-refining himself, it would have definitely caught the attention of those with discerning eyes!

  After retreating a few steps, he found that the sneak attacker was Wang Yunfei. At this moment, the cyan gas on Wang Yunfei's face became even more pronounced, and his person also became abnormally eerie.

  "Unbelievable, it's only been a year since you started learning and your skills have already reached this level, congratulations are in order! Looking at your techniques, they don't seem to be our sect's Wuji Magic Cultivation Method, I wonder what kind of technique is so amazing that it allows you to progress so quickly. Chen Ling Shifu is indeed formidable! Hehe, let me learn from you and experience the secrets of your technique!"

  In the midst of a sneer, Wang Yunfei approached again, and his speed was actually one step faster than Dai Zhenjun. With his own mid-term cultivation in the void and the speed of the Nine Ghosts' Ghostly Decision, he could only barely keep up. After all, his own cultivation was still shallow. Ding Hao's victory over Dai Zhenjun lay in catching him off guard.

  But now, not a bit of luck can be relied upon. After all, it's the first time fighting with someone, and the experience is far less than Wang Yunfei. In just a short while, his body has been hit multiple times, and he can barely hold on thanks to his physical strength.

  Fortunately, the internal struggle of the sect does not allow the use of weapons, and some powerful spells and talismans that Wang Yunfei has cultivated cannot be used, which led to this struggle being mainly physical combat, otherwise Ding Hao would have fallen long ago.

  Another fist came flying towards Ding Hao's chest, and he used the Nine Ghosts and Demons Technique to dodge to the left. He just happened to arrive in front of Zhang Li's position, when suddenly a massive surge of demonic energy pinned him down, rendering him immobile. The next moment, a wave of intense pain flooded his entire nervous system. Zhang Li finally made his move after seeing that his previous efforts were ineffective!

  After all, there was a difference of one level, and Zhang Lixiu's magic skills were quite good. This heavy blow really caused Ding Hao to be injured, not pretending!

  Ding Hao knelt on one knee, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, panting heavily. In his heart, he secretly decided that if this person made another move, he would immediately take out the Reverse Heaven Sword, even if it meant exposing his own treasure and fleeing for his life. After all, there was a difference in their realms, and Ding Hao had been fighting for a long time, and now he was injured, so he couldn't be this person's opponent. Although Ding Hao felt that this person wouldn't take his life, he didn't dare to joke about his own life. No wonder this person was arrogant - they indeed had the capital to be arrogant!

  Fortunately, this person was extremely confident in himself and was willing to let it go again. He simply looked at Ding Hao and nodded slowly: "Not bad, some means, I can still stand up with a clear head after one move, just for this point, today I will let you off, this matter is over, Yun Fei, take Dai Zhenjun, we're leaving!"

  "Halt! You've injured my disciple and think you can just walk away? What an easy thing to do!" With a loud roar, Chen Ling stepped into the room!
