Wei Bujia stood in front of the rocky mountain wall. If one looked at it with naked human eyes, it appeared to be just another ordinary, large rocky mountain wall.
However, this rocky mountain wall was, in fact, a cave entrance hidden by a low-rank concealment formation.
If he were a mortal or a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, he wouldn’t have noticed it. But as a Spiritual Foundation Realm cultivator, he possessed Divine Sense, so this low-rank concealment formation could not hide this cave entrance from him!
He turned to the Junior Brother beside him and asked,
"How many are inside?"
"There are 28 inside," the Junior Brother answered, looking closely at the artifact to ensure there was no mistake.
"28, huh? Too much. We don't need them all — let's leave 10 alive as hostages and kill the rest." Wei Bujia murmured, then pinpointed the formation flag with his Divine Sense before destroying it.
The concealment formation was destroyed, and the rocky mountain wall slowly revealed the cave entrance.
Wei Bujia grinned and then pointed his finger at ten of his Junior Brothers as he ordered them.
"You, you, you... and you, go inside and bring 10 of them 'alive' for me."
"As Senior Brother commands!" The 10 of them grinned filled with sinister, they understood the task well.
They quickly dashed inside the cave, intending to finish the task quickly, as they did not want to keep Senior Brother Wei waiting for long.
Wei Bujia watched his Junior Brothers disappear into the cave, as the boss, there was no reason for him to do the easy work himself.
He waited patiently not far from the cave entrance, inside he was eager to return and join the battle at the Metal Seal Station.
However, just ten seconds after 10 Junior disciples of the Thunderclap Blade sect entered the cave, something unexpected happened.
Thud... thud... thud...
Objects were being thrown out of the cave entrance, and this movement caught the attention of everyone waiting outside the cave.
A commotion broke out among those standing there immediately.
Wei Bujia noticed the commotion and quickly moved closer to the cave entrance. There, he saw the heads of the 10 Junior Brothers he had just sent inside the cave rolling on the floor!
Rage surged through his mind immediately. He unleashed his Divine Sense into the cave to identify who had done this to his people, but surprisingly, he found no one.
"Want to play a game, huh?" he said, his tone filled with anger.
Wei Bujia begins to think that he underestimates them too much the Clan that could produce a cultivator like Lan Hengsheng should not be looked down on easily. Then he decides to go all out and do the work himself.
He draws the sword and then gives an order.
"You all, follow me! We will crush them to the ground!"
The sound of swords being drawn rang out at the entrance before they followed Wei Bujia's steps into the cave.
Inside the cave tunnel, Wei Bujia observed the surroundings closely with his Divine Sense. He thinks that the cause that killed his Junior Brothers must be a trap or killing formation, as he had not heard any sound of battle at all.
However, his thoughts changed when he stepped into the large cave chamber not far from the entrance, because he found that the cause of his Junior Brothers' deaths was a man.
The scene in front of him made his anger spike, 10 bodies in purple robes and they were without heads lay on the ground, not far from the bodies one man with a long iron sword was leaning against the rock at the center of the cave chamber as he was waiting for them.
Wei Bujia observed the man closely with his Divine Sense, but something abnormal occurred—his Divine Sense could not detect the man's Blood Qi and cultivation realm at all. It was similar when he tried to sense the God Spawn.
He could only observe the man with his naked eyes. The man had short black hair, and sharp eyes, and was dressed in all black. However, from the man's clothes, he could not match the style to any region on the continent.
Wei Bujia assumed without a doubt that this man in black was the one who killed his Junior Brothers.
Are you the one who threw their heads out of the cave?" Wei Bujia asked while secretly activating his Chakra ability to slowly seal the opponent's senses.
"Are you stupid? Isn't that obvious? Tch! I really hate villains like you," the man in black answered.
Hearing the man's answer, Wei Bujia could not hold his rage any longer. He raised his sword and aimed at the man in black from a distance.
"Since you ask for death, I will give you death! Surround him!" Wei Bujia ordered all of his Junior Brothers.
Two hundred disciples of the Thunderclap Blade Sect moved quickly and encircled the man in black in no time. forming a battle formation Lightning Qi zapping around their bodies.
Wei Bujia smirked and said,
"You made a big mistake in making me angry. With your strength, you might have been able to get out of here alive if you had chosen to flee earlier, but now you cannot escape anymore!"
Hearing Wei Bujia's words, the natural serious expression of the man in black was turned into a smirk and then he said.
"What a joke, I am not the one who can not escape here, But it was all of you!" After he finished speaking, a blue energy barrier suddenly covered the path leading out of this cave chamber.
Wei Bujia was shocked because he had already checked the surroundings for traps or formations with his Divine Sense, but still, the enemy had somehow hidden the formation from his Divine Sense!
"What did you do!" Wei Bujia shouted and activated his Chakra ability to convince the man to open his mouth and reveal the information.
However, He notices from the man's expression that the man in black seems to detect his Chakra ability!
"Like I said, now you’re all trapped here with me. Your sin of targeting my master family — the punishment for it is death." As the man's words ended, he gradually raised his sword and took a battle stance.
Wei Bujia became serious immediately as he started to feel the pressure from the man's aura, He gripped his sword tightly and Wu Qi inside him began to circulate, ready to battle.
The atmosphere began to become heavy, and when the two's eyes met, they suddenly began to move at an incredible speed.
Wei Bujia Lightning Sword Qi intercepts the Iron Sword that is coated with the blue energy of the man in black, the Iron Sword almost reaches the neck of the Thunderclap Blade sect's disciple. It seems like the man in black is aiming for the weaker neck first.
"Attack! Kill him!" Wei Bujia ordered, and 200 hundred disciples moved, they simultaneously dashed toward the man in black.
The man in black smirked as the situation went his way.
Ten Lightning Blades thrust at the man in black from all directions, but he had already flown upward, delivering a burst of blue energy to the ground.
The impact sent those surrounding him flying and crashing against the cave wall.
The swords crash against each other.
The Qi blast crashes against the cave floor.
The battle of one versus two hundred continued. Wei Bujia gritted his teeth — the man in front of him was incredibly fast and strong!
This man was maybe even stronger than Lan Hengsheng! How was this possible?!
The question and disbelief stuck in his heart. It was regular for monstrous talent cultivators to appear from time to time, but two in the same faction? at the same generation? That was as rare as a dragon and phoenix appearing together!
In a split second, Wei Bujia's mind and thoughts became unstable, and the man in black took this opportunity to immediately sever Wei Bujia's head with a swift strike of his long sword.
The clean cut separated the body and head. The man in black expected Wei Bujia to regenerate but didn't intend to let it happen easily — he kicked the severed head away, preventing it from reconnecting to the body, and slowing down Wei Bujia's regeneration.
"Senior Brother Wei!!" One of the disciples shouted in shock upon seeing his Senior Brother's head cut off, unaware that his own neck had already been severed by the man in black’s long sword.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred disciples fell, their necks sliced cleanly by the man in black's blade.
These disciples couldn't follow the man in black's movement at all.
When Wei Bujia's new head regenerated from his body, he witnessed the massacre, and his heart filled with insane anger.
He floated in mid-air, and the atmosphere around him became scorching hot.
"AH! How dare you!" He roared, bursting a powerful oppressive aura throughout the whole cave chamber, making it tremble violently. Wei Bujia's Wu Qi began to transform into the Burning Heart Chakra, fueled by the rage that consumed him.
The powerful aura slammed into the man in black's body and pushed him to the edge of the cave chamber.
Wei Bujia decided to fully embrace the power of the Wu Dao Seed as Jin Da-Shan did. This action means he couldn't progress as a cultivator anymore, but If he didn't do it now, today he might die by the man in black's sword!
Wei Bujia's body began to transform. His white skin turned red like fire, his arm muscle became bigger and his hands became clawed like the beast, his human teeth fell down, and a new set of teeth grew — sharp like razor blades. Two pairs of red horns emerged from his forehead and curled upwards.
Because of the Negative Chakra, the result of his transformation was not a Deva like Jin Da-Shan, but he turned into something else — The Fiend.
