Chapter 4: The Power of a Single Sword

Yu Zhangqi lured the demonic wolf towards Chen Tian, then flashed away to a distance. The demonic wolf, having lost its target, immediately shifted its focus to Chen Tian.

Yi Yun was extremely anxious. After all, it was she who had called Chen Tian over, and if he were to be killed by the demonic wolf, she would feel guilty.

With a cry, Yi Yun summoned her arrow spirit, firing an arrow at the demonic wolf. The injured wolf immediately turned its head.

Yu Zhangqi was furious: "Junior Sister Yi Yun, what are you doing?"

Chen Tian saw everything. Yu Zhangqi clearly wanted to kill him, but Yi Yun was the first person to show concern for him, which made him feel a bit moved.

"Chen Tian, run!" Seeing Chen Tian standing there motionless, Tie Xiong and the others also shouted a warning.

"Hahaha, the kid is scared stiff." Yu Zhangqi sneered, thinking that the boy would surely die if he was too frightened to move against the demonic wolf.

"Roar" The wolf's howl echoed, and its massive jaws attacked Chen Tian, clearly intending to tear apart this weakest enemy first.

At that moment, the wind stirred, and an invisible aura radiated from Chen Tian's body, rippling out in a circular wave.

Chen Tian turned sideways, drew his sword, and his body slightly sank, as if entering a mysterious state. He could hear the wolf's breathing, the howling wind, the rumbling earth, and the hum of his novice sword clearly. As the demonic wolf lunged, Chen Tian suddenly opened his eyes.

"Face the Wind!"

"Draw Sword Technique!"

The "Face the Wind" technique was used to its fullest extent, and Chen Tian's speed increased dramatically with the wind, moving like a fleeting shadow.

A sword beam, like a bolt of lightning, sliced through the air, dazzling but fleeting. For a moment, time seemed to stand still. The demonic wolf's body fell to the ground, and Chen Tian's steps came to a halt. The surroundings were eerily quiet.

The four people watching held their breaths. When they saw Chen Tian charge at the demonic wolf, they all thought the same thing: Chen Tian was finished!

But at that moment.

"Rip"

The sound of blood splattering was particularly jarring in the silent forest. The demonic wolf's body fell heavily to the ground, its blood seeping into the earth.

"A late-stage first-rank demonic wolf, dead? With just one sword strike..."

The four people gasped, recalling the flash of light they had just seen.

"That was a sword beam, you're a sword cultivator too!" Yi Yun and Tie Xiong, along with Qing Yi, were extremely excited.

"You, a waste of space, how could you possibly be a sword cultivator?" Yu Zhangqi's expression was dazed, as if he couldn't accept the fact that the waste of space Chen Tian had killed the demonic wolf.

He was a Warrior of the Ninth Rank, the highest cultivation among the group, and even he wasn't a match for the demonic wolf. How could the waste of space Chen Tian have the strength to kill it?

Ignoring Yu Zhangqi's question, Chen Tian didn't respond. The other three couldn't help but sneer. Waste of space? They hadn't seen any waste of space who could kill a demonic wolf with a single sword strike, equivalent to a human Warrior's cultivation.

Was Chen Tian really a waste of space? It seemed everyone had been deceived by this guy.

"A late-stage first-rank demonic wolf's core, it can be exchanged for at least two Essence Qi Pills." Tie Xiong took out a dagger to extract the core, then walked up to Chen Tian: "Chen Tian, you killed this demonic wolf alone, all the cores are yours."

"What a joke, I was about to kill the demonic wolf myself, and this waste of space just got lucky. Now he actually wants to give me the cores!" Yu Zhangqi said angrily.

"Yu Zhangqi, go to hell, you were trying to kill Chen Tian earlier. Do you think we're blind? Now you have the nerve to ask for the cores!" Tie Xiong's temper flared, and he immediately started cursing. He had long been annoyed with Yu Zhangqi.

"Chen Tian, let's go." Yi Yun also disliked Yu Zhangqi's earlier actions and was disdainful of him, not wanting to associate with him anymore.

Seeing them about to leave, Yu Zhangqi's face grew even darker, and he said angrily: "Are you all rebelling? Don't forget who my big brother is. If you don't give me the cores, you know the consequences!"

The three of them looked uncomfortable and stopped.

Chen Tian frowned and asked: "Who is his big brother?"

"His big brother is the fifth disciple of the Inner Sect, Yu Zhanghao, a Warrior of the Seventh Rank, also a sword spirit, and extremely powerful." Yi Yun explained.

Him? Chen Tian immediately turned around. He had already noticed that Yu Zhangqi's face bore a resemblance to Yu Zhanghao, and it turned out they were indeed brothers.

Seeing Chen Tian turn around, Yu Zhangqi immediately sneered: "Waste of space, are you scared now? Are you going to give me the cores?"

"Will you let me go if I give you the cores?"

Chen Tian smiled faintly, and a hint of panic flashed in Yu Zhangqi's eyes: "What are you going to do?"

Before he could finish his sentence, a sword beam had already pierced his heart.

"What am I going to do? Since you won't let me go no matter what, why should I let you go?" Chen Tian shook the blood off his sword and sheathed it.

Yu Zhangqi's life ended, and his eyes still held a look of disbelief as he stared at Chen Tian. He never thought that the waste of space would dare to kill him.

"Chen Tian, you..." Yi Yun and the others felt a chill run down their spines. Although they disliked Yu Zhangqi, they hadn't thought of killing him.

Chen Tian's expression was cold: "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for my actions. If anything happens, I'll handle it myself, it has nothing to do with you."

The Chen Tian of today was no longer the waste of space he used to be. Whether it was Yu Zhangqi or Yu Zhanghao, they had both tried to take his life, so he wouldn't let his enemies off easily either!

Hearing his words, the three of them looked at his back. Was this guy really the waste of space Chen Tian they had heard about?

His actions sent chills down their spines from head to toe!
