As Wu Tian's doubts arose, on the other side, Bai Ruoqi's delicate face also showed a look of surprise.
Clearly, she shared the same view as Wu Tian.
She whispered beside Wu Tian, "That can't be right. Liu Wu Wang hadn't even reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm thirty years ago. How could he have become a four-star Great Luo Golden Immortal today?"
"It took him nearly a hundred years to reach Golden Immortal. With such talent, he shouldn't be able to accomplish this."
"Is that so?" Wu Tian said softly. "Then it seems Liu Wu Wang might be hiding some secret."
"No need to rush. Let me probe his true strength. Any problems will be revealed with a test."
After speaking, Wu Tian looked at Liu Wu Wang again and smiled, saying, "Sect Master Liu truly has heaven-defying abilities."
"Since you've reached such a level, the Black Wind Sect should at least be considered a first-rate force, right?"
"But why did you hide your strength, keeping the Black Wind Sect confined to the second-rate forces?"
Liu Wu Wang's eyes flickered slightly, then he let out a cold snort, "What does that have to do with you?"
"Compared to that, you should worry more about your own safety."
"Trying to escape from me is something you absolutely cannot do!"
"Escape?" Wu Tian sneered. "Who told you I was going to escape? Trash like you is probably not qualified to force me into that situation!"
"You!" Liu Wu Wang had expected Wu Tian to be terrified after he released his aura.
But he hadn't expected Wu Tian's words to be so defiant, still speaking like this at this point.
The veins on his forehead bulged due to anger, and he said grimly, "Is that so? Then I hope you can still say that later!"
As his voice fell, Liu Wu Wang's aura suddenly vibrated.
He let out a loud shout and then struck Wu Tian with a palm, a powerful surge of immortal energy immediately blasting towards Wu Tian.
Wu Tian and Bai Ruoqi both leaped away. With a boom, a pit immediately appeared on the ground.
Killing intent flashed in Liu Wu Wang's eyes. He transformed into a black whirlwind, locking onto Wu Tian like a hunting wolf, his hands forming claws as he ferociously clawed towards Wu Tian's chest.
Black energy swirled around his claw tips, carrying a heart-stopping aura.
It was clear that this was no ordinary attack, but some kind of amplified technique.
Liu Wu Wang harbored an intense hatred for Wu Tian, wishing to tear him limb from limb at this moment, thus he attacked without reservation, almost every move aiming to take Wu Tian's life.
However, despite his speed, Wu Tian showed no signs of being flustered, calmly evading Liu Wu Wang's attacks, truly remaining untouched.
Seeing his attacks repeatedly fail, Liu Wu Wang grew increasingly agitated, his hand techniques becoming fiercer.
The demonic claws carved sharp arcs through the air, striking fear into the hearts of onlookers.
During this process, both Wu Tian and Bai Ruoqi sensed something was amiss.
Liu Wu Wang's attacks were unusual, not resembling the techniques of human cultivators.
If anything, they seemed more akin to the moves of demons.
Just as Wu Tian pondered this, Liu Wu Wang's patience reached its limit.
He roared with a ferocious expression, smashing his claws viciously towards Wu Tian's crown, intending to kill Wu Tian with a single blow.
Although his attacks were fierce, they still posed no threat to Wu Tian.
Wu Tian's right hand swiftly rose, and dozens of lightning bolts immediately shot up from his feet, forming pillars of light that repelled Liu Wu Wang.
Wu Tian's face remained expressionless. He watched Liu Wu Wang being sent flying dozens of meters away and said in a faint voice that drifted through the air, "Don't bother with such trivial tricks."
"As a dignified four-star Great Luo Golden Immortal, is this all you've got? Aren't you afraid of losing face by revealing this?"
Liu Wu Wang, already narrow-minded, was further enraged by Wu Tian's words. His muscles tensed, and veins like thin snakes bulged out.
He said hatefully, "Don't be arrogant. I just wanted to torment you slowly."
"A scoundrel like you deserves to be sliced into a thousand pieces to quell my hatred!"
"Is that so?" Wu Tian's eyes were as calm as a windless, waveless lake.
"But in the end, you've tormented yourself, haven't you?"
"Overestimating your own abilities is not a good thing."
"Shut up!"
Liu Wu Wang roared, "This is the Black Wind Sect's sacred ground. It's not your place, a mere brat, to run wild!"
"The warm-up is over. Next, I'll let you witness my true abilities!"
Liu Wu Wang's immortal energy condensed once more. A few seconds later, a fierce wind surged in the sky.
The wind gathered madly above Liu Wu Wang's head, eventually forming a giant monstrous bird!
Upon seeing this, Wu Tian and Bai Ruoqi's expressions became even more peculiar.
Because they saw dense black energy emanating from the monstrous bird, as if it were a demonic beast that only existed in the netherworld.
This was unnatural, far too unnatural.
The people of the Black Wind Sect primarily cultivated wind-elemental skills. Although their sect's name contained the character "Black," wind-elemental skills had absolutely nothing to do with the color black.
Wu Tian and Bai Ruoqi exchanged glances, seeing the same judgment in each other's eyes.
Wu Tian's gaze grew even more somber.
However, he didn't reveal his emotions too obviously. Instead, he continued to say to Liu Wu Wang, "Sect Master Liu, I'll advise you one more time. It's best if you go all out."
"The strength of this move of yours can at most deal with a two-star Great Luo Golden Immortal. It's still impossible to deal with me."
Liu Wu Wang was startled, wondering how Wu Tian could be so calm. Could this guy's abilities truly be that strong?
To further probe Wu Tian's strength, he roared, "Anyone can brag. If you really have the ability, block this move for me!"
"Go!"
The monstrous bird let out a sharp cry and then unleashed a violent hurricane towards Wu Tian.
Under this gust of wind, Wu Tian stood unmoving, his eyes flashing with lightning like stars.
He lightly raised his right hand, extending only a single finger.
Lightning flickered on his fingertip. Just as the monstrous bird was about to approach, that point of lightning suddenly shot out, transforming into a beam that pierced through the monstrous bird!
Screech!
Severely wounded, the monstrous bird's body immediately tensed, its neck and wings arching upwards as if being pulled by someone.
And in the next second, with a violent explosion, a terrifying gale erupted from the monstrous bird, destroying all the buildings of the Black Wind Sect!
Wu Tian maintained his original posture and said faintly, "I already warned you. Do you believe me now?"
