Li Gang's voice was deafening, filled with a mad intensity, like a hysterical lunatic vowing to tear Wu Tian limb from limb.
The others, hearing Li Gang's roar, felt a tremor of fear, and for a moment, no one dared to act rashly.
The current situation had far surpassed their imaginations. They had initially thought this was merely a test, but they had never expected things to escalate to this point.
If Wu Tian were just an ordinary person, they might have had the courage to rush him.
But the strength Wu Tian had displayed was too terrifying. He had even defeated the berserk Li Gang. What chance did they have to resist?
Seeing that no one was moving, Li Gang became even more enraged.
His eyes bloodshot, he roared, "What do you mean by this! Are you not even listening to your Sect Master anymore!"
"If any of you dare to disobey me today, everyone will be dealt with according to sect rules, including the elders. Not a single one of you will escape!"
Although Li Gang's position was somewhat constrained by the elders, he was, after all, the Sect Master, and his authority always existed.
Seeing his resolute attitude, everyone hesitated for a moment.
After some thought, an elder suddenly declared loudly, "Esteemed disciples, today is the day to protect our sect, the Kuang Jian Sect!"
"As disciples of the Kuang Jian Sect, we should dedicate our strength to it. Therefore, do not hesitate, follow me and attack!"
Hearing this, Wu Tian couldn't help but chuckle. "I know you're trying to rally the troops, but the way you're putting it is a bit too much, isn't it?"
"What do you mean 'protect the sect'? It sounds like I'm about to destroy your Kuang Jian Sect."
"Think about it carefully, have I ever shown any inclination towards that?"
The elder's expression immediately stiffened.
Wu Tian was right. He had indeed fabricated this charge against Wu Tian to stir up emotions.
But now that the situation had come to this, he could only press on.
He said righteously, "You still want to argue? You've injured our Sect Master to this extent, what else do you have to say!"
"Let me tell you, no one in the Kuang Jian Sect, from top to bottom, is afraid of death!"
"What you've done today is something our Kuang Jian Sect cannot tolerate. Therefore, I must consider you an enemy of the Kuang Jian Sect, with absolutely no room for negotiation!"
Wu Tian, seeing his agitated state, understood that he could never wake someone who was pretending to be asleep.
But it didn't matter. To him, whether it was one person or an entire sect, it was all the same.
He smiled and said, "Is that so? Since you insist on saying it that way, then fine. I'll concede that you're right."
"Then what are you waiting for? If you want to deal with me, then hurry up and come. Don't waste time."
"Arrogant!" The elder seemed to get into character, becoming more agitated as he spoke. "Today, I will show you the true strength of our Kuang Jian Sect!"
"Listen to me, everyone, follow me!"
With that, the elder drew his sword and charged towards Wu Tian.
The others truly didn't want to fight, but since the elder had taken the lead, what other choice did they have?
Instantly, all the disciples of the Kuang Jian Sect surged towards Wu Tian.
The scene was vast and imposing, looking incredibly spectacular.
Li Gang let out a sinister laugh. In his eyes, Wu Tian couldn't possibly withstand so many people. Therefore, he was 100% sure he would win this time!
As he watched the crowd swarm towards him from all sides, Wu Tian didn't even bat an eyelid, his expression remarkably calm.
The moment everyone reached him, a sharp glint flashed in Wu Tian's eyes.
Holding the Ben Lei Sword, he transformed into a streak of lightning, flashing past everyone.
No one could clearly see what had happened. Even Li Gang, standing on the periphery, was utterly bewildered.
Everyone only saw the lightning flash by. When Wu Tian broke free from the encirclement, there was a sudden explosive sound, and everyone was sent flying!
"Wh-what..."
"How could this be!" Seeing such an astonishing sight, Li Gang's eyes widened.
His lips trembled slightly, unable to believe that such a scene was unfolding before his eyes.
The disciples lay on the ground, none of them able to resist.
In an instant, cries of pain erupted everywhere.
Wu Tian, looking at the Ben Lei Sword in his hand, also showed a flicker of surprise.
He had just used the Ben Lei Stance from the Swift Thunder Swordplay. The characteristic of this move was its ferocity, capable of delivering fierce strikes to multiple targets in an instant.
He hadn't expected this move to be so effective.
He hadn't even exerted much force. If he had truly gone all out, wouldn't these people have been killed instantly?
After the shock, Wu Tian's emotions settled.
He scanned the crowd, confirming that everyone had lost their ability to fight, and then he walked towards Li Gang with his sword.
The tip of the Ben Lei Sword scraped against the ground, producing a piercing sound that seemed to cut into Li Gang's heart, leaving a deep wound.
He looked at Wu Tian in terror, feeling as if Wu Tian's figure had emerged from hell itself.
He couldn't help but take a step back, stammering, "You, you, you, you... what do you want?"
Wu Tian grinned and said, "Don't be scared. Didn't you say that if I defeated all of you, then this matter would be settled?"
"Look, your people are all lying here now. So, may I ask, have I passed the test?"
"This..." Li Gang's attitude was very hesitant. It was clear he still didn't want to admit it.
But Wu Tian was not a patient man. How could he tolerate Li Gang reneging on his word again?
He said coldly, "Sect Master Li, I believe I have been cooperative enough. I hope you will also show a corresponding attitude."
"If you think I'm easy to bully, then I apologize. It seems I'll have to resort to some countermeasures."
"However, I wonder if you can withstand them?"
Seeing the cold glint in Wu Tian's eyes, Li Gang was terrified to the point of his liver and gallbladder cracking.
He was afraid Wu Tian might do something to him, so how could he dare to defy Wu Tian's wishes?
Thus, he quickly exclaimed, "No, no, you've passed. You've passed. I fully acknowledge you!"
