Wu Tian's words struck Du Tian Mo Di like a thunderclap, plunging him into silence.
However, after a short while, Du Tian Mo Di let out another burst of arrogant laughter.
No one knew what he was laughing at, but the sound sent shivers down their spines.
After laughing, Du Tian Mo Di said to Wu Tian with a face full of mockery, "Kid, you almost fooled me."
"So what if you possess the Yaoshen Chi? The reason this Yaoshen Chi could injure me back then was because the person who wielded it was named Yaoshen!"
"But now, what good is it for a junior like you to hold the Yaoshen Chi?"
"A Yaoshen Chi that cannot unleash its abilities is just a piece of scrap metal to me!"
"You are not qualified to defeat me!"
Upon hearing this, the Twelve Heavenly Venerates' hearts sank to the bottom again.
They had been revitalized by Wu Tian's Yaoshen power, but now they realized the truth.
Indeed, even if Wu Tian's abilities could suppress Du Tian Mo Di, Wu Tian was still just a Da Luo Jin Xian at this moment. How could he possibly defeat Du Tian Mo Di?
To this, Wu Tian calmly replied, "You don't need to put on an act in front of me. From what I see, your current strength should not be as good as it was back then."
"It seems you suffered quite a bit of injury during this period of封印 (fēngyìn - seal)."
Du Tian Mo Di's smile vanished, and he coldly snorted, "So what?"
"I was originally a San Ling Xian Wang, and now I have only dropped to Er Ling Xian Wang. Dealing with you is as easy as turning my hand."
"I don't care where you came from, but I can guarantee that with your strength, you are definitely no match for me!"
"Is that so?" Sharpness flowed in Wu Tian's eyes. "If you say so, then I apologize."
"If you want to know my strength, then open your eyes wide and watch."
As his voice fell, Wu Tian suddenly unleashed his aura.
In an instant, thunder boomed for miles, and golden lightning seemed to tear through the void!
Feeling the immense power of heaven and earth, the expressions of the Twelve Heavenly Venerates changed drastically!
"This is... Xian Wang?!"
"How did Sect Master Wu ascend to Xian Wang!"
As human powerhouses, they usually maintained a calm demeanor, but at this moment, they were utterly flustered, their eyes about to pop out of their sockets.
Du Tian Mo Di also did not expect this. He said in horror, "This... how is this possible!"
"How can a kid like you be a Xian Wang!"
Wu Tian sneered, "It's too late to know now. As I said before, since you dare to run rampant here, then you shall die."
Du Tian Mo Di was once again stunned into silence.
This kid in front of him had brought him one surprise after another, making his previous arrogant attitude seem like a joke!
He clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling with excessive anger, and gritted his teeth, saying, "I never expected such a thing to happen."
"After so many years, your human race can still produce a Xian Wang, and moreover, someone like you!"
"But so what? At best, you have earned the qualification to be taken seriously by me."
"To truly defeat me, it is not that easy!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Is that so? Since you are so confident in yourself, then let's stop the nonsense and get straight to the moves."
"But then again, I advise you to go all out."
"I can make countless mistakes when dealing with trash like you, but you... one mistake can be your end."
Wu Tian's words were spoken very calmly, but they were filled with immense pressure.
After the previous few reversals, Du Tian Mo Di no longer dared to underestimate Wu Tian. Moreover, the more he looked at Wu Tian, the more unfathomable he seemed.
After all, Wu Tian appeared too certain, and that sense of danger was even heavier than the threat Yaoshen had posed to him!
His expression grew worse and worse, and his liver fire surged, filling his eyes with bloodshot veins.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Go all out? You are that confident in yourself, aren't you?"
"Alright, then today I shall see exactly how you intend to defeat me!"
Du Tian Mo Di roared and suddenly spread his hands.
With a bang, purple poisonous gas erupted from his body and then converged towards his palm.
The poisonous gas condensed more and more solidly, eventually forming the shape of a lotus flower.
The lotus flower rotated slowly in Du Tian Mo Di's hand, emitting a faint glow around it, appearing full of danger, as if touching it meant certain death!
Du Tian Mo Di said sinisterly, "Kid, this is my unique skill, the Mandarava Flower. Even back then, Yaoshen dared not easily accept it."
"As long as this flower of mine explodes successfully, it will surely result in corpses for ten thousand miles!"
"If you truly have the ability, then take this move from me."
"Otherwise, even if you can kill me, this world will ultimately be swallowed by my poisonous gas!"
A heavy sense of dread permeated the hearts of the Twelve Heavenly Venerates.
Although they did not know what this Mandarava Flower was, from Du Tian Mo Di's description, its power was absolutely not to be underestimated.
With their strength, it was impossible for them to withstand such a dangerous attack, so all hope had to be placed on Wu Tian!
Looking at the exquisite and enchanting lotus flower, Wu Tian simply said, "What a waste. Such a sinister move actually has such a shape, it's a real shame."
"You said that this flower can only unleash its power when it explodes, right?"
"Then it's very simple, I just need to prevent it from exploding, isn't that enough?"
"Arrogant!"
Seeing that Wu Tian still dared to look down on him, Du Tian Mo Di roared in fury, "You cannot do such a thing."
"And next, even you must die here!"
"Take this!"
As Du Tian Mo Di's hysterical roar echoed, the Mandarava Flower was fiercely thrown towards Wu Tian!
"Hahaha, I'll see how you take this!"
The Mandarava Flower spun rapidly in the air, each petal opening on its own, appearing both sharp and strangely eerie.
Wu Tian's gaze also turned cold. He roared, "I said I can do it, and I will definitely do it!"
"Yaoshen Jue! Yaoshen Jing Mo Chi!"
Pure white light flashed on Wu Tian's giant ruler.
Then, he fiercely swung the giant ruler down towards Du Tian Mo Di!
