Wu Tian's tone was laced with a strong hint of teasing, which made Zhou Yuan, whose pride was already soaring, feel as if his scalp were about to explode.
For thirty years, he had lived a life of smooth sailing and had never experienced such a terrible mood as he did now.
Wu Tian had completely broken through his defenses with this single remark, and his expression twisted in response.
"You think this is the end? You're dreaming!"
Zhou Yuan roared, "I'm no longer interested in playing with you. From now on, I must kill you!"
Zhou Yuan's voice was incredibly loud, causing the onlookers to feel a deep sense of shock.
After all, Zhou Yuan had never lost his composure like this before. It seemed he truly couldn't control his emotions anymore.
With this thought, they all turned their astonished gazes towards Wu Tian.
Wu Tian was actually able to push Zhou Yuan to this extent; wasn't that too incredible?
To everyone's surprise, Wu Tian merely smiled and said, "Are you finally going to reveal your trump card?"
"Alright, I'll wait here patiently. I hope your trump card doesn't disappoint me."
Zhou Yuan said no more, clenching his teeth tightly, his body trembling slightly from excessive anger.
At the same time, lightning flickered on his palm as his internal energy converged.
Upon seeing this, the crowd immediately exclaimed.
"Look quickly, Young Master is about to unleash the seventh layer of the Thunder Fist!"
"My heavens, I've never seen what the seventh layer of the Thunder Fist looks like!"
"He's actually forced Young Master to use this move. It seems this fellow is in for a brutal day, even if he doesn't die!"
Listening to their discussions, Wu Tian also became somewhat curious.
It seemed this was the full power of the Thunder Fist. What was the difference compared to the Lightning Fist?
A moment later, lightning began to coil around Zhou Yuan's hand, completely enveloping his fist.
He stared intently at Wu Tian and said, "You'll see next. You absolutely cannot withstand this move of mine!"
Wu Tian was also a little surprised. He hadn't expected Zhou Yuan to be able to condense lightning with his internal energy; this was beyond his anticipation.
This also indicated how formidable the skill "Thunder Fist" truly was.
Even with just a fragment, it could achieve such power.
Undoubtedly, as long as the opponent was not a spiritual cultivator, no martial artist would be able to block Zhou Yuan's current attack.
With this thought, Wu Tian smiled slightly and extended a finger, saying, "Do you believe I can block your attack with just one finger?"
"What did you say?!" Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Zhou Yuan, however, roared furiously, "You're talking nonsense! Today, I must cripple you so you never dare to be so presumptuous again!"
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Very well, I'll stand here. You can attack now."
As if a nerve had snapped, Zhou Yuan jolted and could no longer control his body.
He let out a roar and charged towards Wu Tian!
The lightning brought with it a streak of light and then struck heavily at Wu Tian!
At that moment, everyone instinctively closed their eyes.
But the great commotion they had imagined did not occur.
When they opened their eyes, the scene before them left them completely dumbfounded!
Wu Tian had actually blocked Zhou Yuan's attack, and... with just one finger!
"This is impossible!" At this moment, even Zhou Qishi let out a distorted scream.
The Thunder Fist was the foundational technique of their Swift Thunder Sect. Apart from his father, who was in seclusion, even he, the Sect Master, had not managed to cultivate it to the seventh layer.
In their understanding, when the Thunder Fist was cultivated to its highest level, any attack would inevitably result in the opponent's death or severe injury.
But this time, how could Wu Tian block it with just one finger?
Zhou Yuan's eyes were also wide with disbelief at what he was seeing.
He maintained his punching posture, his lips moving slightly, and with great difficulty, he managed to say, "How... how is this possible..."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "The power is indeed good, but unfortunately, it's still far from enough to deal with me."
"Alright, since I've already seen the full power of the Thunder Fist, I'm no longer interested in playing with you. This trial ends here."
With that, Wu Tian kicked Zhou Yuan in the stomach, sending him flying.
"Son!" Seeing this, Zhou Qishi rushed forward.
Zhou Yuan was already weakened after unleashing his full power.
Coupled with Wu Tian's kick, he couldn't stand up at all.
His arrogant and cold demeanor was completely gone, replaced by a state of utter dishevelment, far from that of a young master.
"You scoundrel!" Zhou Qishi glared at Wu Tian furiously, "Look at what you've done!"
Wu Tian shrugged and said, "My apologies, Sect Master Zhou, but you can't blame me for this."
"Didn't you just say that fists and feet have no eyes? I can't help it if something like this happens!"
"You!" Zhou Qishi was rendered speechless.
Filled with anger and frustration, he suddenly stood up and clenched his fist towards Wu Tian.
His Thunder Fist had already reached the sixth layer, only half a step away from the seventh. Thus, at this moment, lightning also flickered around his hand.
Seeing this, the other disciples immediately glared at Wu Tian, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Even in the face of this situation, Wu Tian showed no hint of fear.
Instead, he chuckled lightly and said, "What's wrong, are you starting to be unreasonable now?"
Zhou Qishi gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to injure my son, and I will absolutely not let you go. You won't be leaving this mountain today!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Do you think these people can stop me?"
"Also, I must remind you that the fight just now could be considered a trial, but this is no longer a trial."
Zhou Qishi roared, "What kind of damn trial? I'm here now to seek revenge for my son!"
"Revenge, you say? You're quite blunt about it." Wu Tian's smile held a subtle shift.
"But you must also think clearly. If you attack now, the nature of this will be completely different."
"Are you declaring war on me?"
Zhou Qishi, blinded by rage, retorted, "Think whatever you want. In any case, I will absolutely not spare you today!"
Wu Tian sighed, "If that's the case, then it is a declaration of war."
"But I advise you to think carefully. What I represent is not just myself!"
As he said this, Wu Tian revealed the Sect Master's token of the Mountain-Pulling Sect.
