Chapter 60

This figure who stepped forward was precisely Yi Tian.

Both sides, who were about to engage in a fierce battle, were taken aback, and the tense atmosphere immediately dissipated.

The tribal chief and elders of the Yi tribe had long made plans.

They would have the high-ranking warriors of the tribe take action, fighting against these eight major families, with a high likelihood of severely wounding the other side. Once they encountered any resistance, they would immediately retreat to the underground passage of the ancestral temple and activate the Dragon Sealing Stone.

This was a method they had no choice but to resort to.

Yi Tian's appearance left the heads of the eight major families and their elders somewhat stunned, unsure why a young man would step forward to stop the impending battle at this point.

Moreover, who exactly was this young man, to be so bold?

Yi Tian had no choice but to step forward. If they abandoned the tribe where their ancestors had lived for generations and tried to establish a new settlement, it would be extremely difficult.

At the same time, they would have to evade the pursuit of the major forces from Black Dragon City, plunging the tribe into a dangerous and turbulent situation.

This was something Yi Tian did not want to see.

Yi Tian glanced at the heads and elders of the eight major families, who were dozens of feet away, and said, "You want the treasure, fine, as long as someone can defeat me."

The martial artists of the eight major families looked at each other in surprise.

This young man was too arrogant, daring to challenge the eight major families. What gave him the confidence?

In response to Yi Tian's challenge, the elders of the eight major families were somewhat agitated, each wanting to go out and teach this presumptuous young man a lesson.

Since Yi Tian had stepped forward to challenge them, the eight major families could not ignore it and immediately order a full-scale attack. After all, they still had some dignity.

If they did not respond to a young man's challenge, they would likely be ridiculed by the major forces of Black Dragon City, losing face.

"I'll go!"

The next moment, a large man could no longer bear Yi Tian's challenge and stepped forward.

This was a late-stage Eighth Rank martial artist from the Liu family, extremely muscular, holding a large saber that emitted a cold light, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes, and a murderous aura. Many had likely died at his hands, making him a notorious figure.

"The ferocious demon from the Liu family has stepped forward."

Many martial artists present immediately recognized the identity of this large man, who was a well-known martial artist of the Liu family, known for his ferocity in battle and cruel methods of killing. He was a thoroughly ferocious demon, famous throughout the Black Dragon City region, not inferior to the strong figures of the major forces.

"This young man is doomed."

"This will be a good show. I'm looking forward to seeing how the ferocious demon will brutally kill this guy."

"He's so young, probably only at the Fifth or Sixth Rank at most. Even if he's a genius and a high-ranking martial artist, he would be no match for the ferocious demon, who can even contend with Ninth Rank martial artists."

In an instant, the martial artists and guards of the eight major families began to discuss the appearance of the ferocious demon.

"Boy, how do you want to die? I, the ferocious demon, will grant your wish!"

The ferocious demon bared his white teeth, staring at Yi Tian with interest, thinking about how to brutally kill him to demoralize the warriors of the Yi tribe and make a grand appearance before the heads, elders, and ten thousand martial artists of the eight major families, greatly enhancing his reputation in Black Dragon City.

Yi Tian glanced at the ferocious demon and said, "If you want to die, come quickly!"

"Die!"

The ferocious demon was enraged.

He suddenly unleashed a saber technique, a torrent of saber light tearing through the void, covering Yi Tian.

He could imagine that in the next moment, Yi Tian would be shredded into pieces by his saber technique. Thinking of this, he felt incredibly elated.

"Slash!"

Yi Tian's sword descended from the sky, emitting an unparalleled sword aura, with boundless killing intent and heat enveloping the heavens and earth.

"Not good!"

As soon as Yi Tian unleashed this technique, the Ninth Rank strong figures of the eight major families changed their expressions.

Especially the Great Elder of the Liu family, whose eyes narrowed. Yi Tian's attack had definitely reached the level of a Ninth Rank strong figure, or even stronger. He wanted to intervene, but it was too late.

Bang, bang, bang...

Yi Tian's powerful sword aura shattered the fierce saber light, directly striking the ferocious demon's large saber. The remaining sword aura instantly sent the ferocious demon flying.

Pfft!

The ferocious demon was sent flying by the sword aura, his body scorched black, severely injured, and barely alive.

The Great Elder of the Liu family immediately rushed to the ferocious demon's side, checking his condition, and his face turned grim. The injuries were too severe, and he would not last long if left untreated.

He then took out a jade bottle from his pocket, poured out a white pill, and a fragrant aroma spread.

"Snow Ginseng Pill!"

The elders of the other families were somewhat surprised when they saw this.

This was a life-saving low-grade pill, with one Snow Ginseng Pill worth hundreds of low-grade essence stones, making it quite expensive.

After swallowing the Snow Ginseng Pill, the ferocious demon's face quickly turned rosy, his breathing stabilized, and he managed to survive.

The tribal chief, Great Elder, and other high-ranking members of the Yi tribe had no objections to Yi Tian's actions, remaining vigilant and ready to retreat to the underground space at the first sign of trouble.

Yi Tian's single sword strike severely injured the notorious ferocious demon, shocking the high-ranking martial artists of the eight major families who witnessed it.

This young man was probably only in his late teens or early twenties, just past adulthood, yet he had defeated a late-stage Eighth Rank martial artist. Could his cultivation have already reached the Ninth Rank?

This speculation left the heads and elders of the eight major families in shock.

At such a young age, already at the Ninth Rank, this young man had a great chance of becoming a Human Rank strong figure in the future.

Thinking of this, the heads and elders of the eight major families all felt a strong urge to kill.

Provoking someone with the potential to become a Human Rank strong figure meant they had to eliminate him as soon as possible to prevent future trouble. Otherwise, once he grew stronger, the eight major families would not have a good outcome, and Yi Tian would become the king of the Black Dragon City region.

Killing intent surged.

The heads and elders of the various families exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts.

"I'll challenge you!"

A late-stage Ninth Rank elder from the Chen family stepped forward.

His body radiated golden true qi, and he suddenly launched an attack on Yi Tian. His hands seemed to be made of gold, shining brightly, and the palm wind tore through space.

"Good!"

Yi Tian's Golden麟Sword glowed brightly, sword qi surging as he engaged in battle with the opponent.

Unmatched fiery sword qi could cut through metal and jade, each strike aimed at the opponent's body.

However, the opponent's hands, covered in golden light, directly met Yi Tian's terrifying sword qi, colliding with a metallic sound.

"The Golden Fist of the Chen family is indeed extraordinary!"

"Truly the renowned Golden Fist of Black Dragon City, clashing with a spirit weapon without any damage!"

"Of course, the Golden Fist of the Third Elder of the Chen family is extremely powerful, already at the peak of cultivation. Even a Ninth Rank martial artist would have their bones shattered and organs crushed to death if hit by the Third Elder's Golden Fist."

Yi Tian and the Third Elder of the Chen family fought for dozens of moves, the battle evenly matched, seemingly indicating that their strength was about the same.

But only the Third Elder of the Chen family knew the truth.

Even though his Golden True Qi condensed in his hands, making them as strong as refined steel, capable of contending with spirit weapons, Yi Tian's Yang Sword Qi was too overwhelming, causing his Golden Fist to feel as if it were being pierced, making him very uncomfortable.

What shocked him even more was how quickly his Golden True Qi was being consumed, indicating the power of Yi Tian's attacks.

This level of attack was on par with those who had been at the peak of the Ninth Rank for decades.

"What a terrifying opponent!"

The Third Elder of the Chen family was shocked. The opponent's strength was extremely powerful, surpassing his own, with an endless supply of true qi, and his true qi was even more fierce. He constantly felt the burning of the Yang True Qi, forcing him to divert part of his true qi to resist.
