In the eerie silence, Wu Tian's sigh echoed softly in everyone's ears.
"You've seen my strength, haven't you?"
"It's just... the viewing fee is something you cannot afford."
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Wu Tian slowly walked up to Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang was already extremely weak, feeling as if all his bones had been shattered.
But more than the physical pain, it was the fear in his heart that consumed him.
He spat out a mouthful of dark blood and stared at Wu Tian in horror, saying, "How could this be..."
"I, I was actually instantly killed by a low-grade immortal, impossible, absolutely impossible..."
Not just Mr. Wang, but everyone present found the situation utterly preposterous.
There was a vast chasm between the strength of a low-grade immortal and a mid-grade immortal.
For a mid-grade immortal to instantly kill a low-grade immortal was a perfectly normal occurrence.
But how could it be the other way around?
This made no sense whatsoever!
Wu Tian looked down at Mr. Wang, his eyes exceptionally cold.
He said indifferently, "Impossible? What's impossible about it."
"Even if I was a low-grade immortal a few months ago, do you really think I'm still just a low-grade immortal now?"
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to understand something, yet also became more confused.
Even if Wu Tian was a peerless prodigy and had advanced in just a few months, he would only be a mid-grade immortal.
But the strength he had just displayed seemed beyond what even a mid-grade immortal could achieve.
Amidst the silence, Wu Tian continued, "To let you die with understanding, now properly feel my aura."
With that, a sharp glint shot out from Wu Tian's eyes.
Immediately, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire courtyard.
This pressure was so terrifying that for a moment, everyone couldn't help but feel the urge to kneel before Wu Tian!
Upon sensing this pressure, Mr. Wang's eyes bulged out of their sockets!
He said in horror, "You, you... you are..."
But before he could finish, his head lolled to the side, and he died.
Seeing this, Wu Tian dissipated the pressure and shook his head, saying:
"Died from fright already, your psychological fortitude is truly lacking."
"However, you were meant to die anyway, so this saves me the trouble."
Then, Wu Tian looked at Bai Haonan and said, "Still want to make a move? Feel free to continue."
"As long as you're not afraid of death, I have no problem."
Bai Haonan was just an ordinary person, so even with the pressure Wu Tian displayed, he didn't truly grasp how terrifying Wu Tian was.
He took two steps back and then hurriedly said to the other two middle-aged men, "Hey, hey!"
"What are you two standing there foolishly for? Make a move, make a move!"
However, the two middle-aged men merely stood there blankly, not daring to even breathe, let alone make a move.
Their strange reactions made Bai Haonan feel a deep sense of unease.
His voice began to tremble, and he cautiously asked, "What's wrong with you two?"
"Make a move, I told you to make a move, you... you can't hear me?"
But the two still showed no intention of moving.
After about half a minute, the two men suddenly jolted, their souls finally returning to their bodies.
Unprecedented fear erupted on their faces.
Without any prior discussion, they suddenly knelt down before Wu Tian!
They even pressed their foreheads tightly against the ground, not daring to meet Wu Tian's gaze!
"Honored... Honored Master!"
They stammered.
"Yes, yes, yes... we were blind and offended you, please... please forgive us, Honored Master!"
This astonishing scene left everyone stunned.
After all, these so-called mid-grade immortals were like deities to them.
But how could such individuals be so terrified of Wu Tian?
What was going on?
Bai Haonan was completely dumbfounded, then he anxiously said, "Hey! What are you doing!"
"This guy is just a low-grade immortal, why are you acting like this, have you gone mad!"
One of the mid-grade immortals, fearing Wu Tian's wrath, glared at Bai Haonan with his head bowed and roared, "Shut up! You're going to get us killed!"
"This... this is not a low-grade immortal at all... this is a genuine Golden Immortal!"
"What?!" When these words were spoken, everyone present who knew of Golden Immortals nearly choked to death from fright.
Bai Haonan, completely oblivious, said blankly, "Golden Immortal? What Golden Immortal?"
"Aren't immortals the most powerful? I've never heard of a Golden Immortal!"
Bai Ruoqi also had no knowledge of these cultivation divisions, so she was equally bewildered.
At this moment, she noticed Liu Xian trembling slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Liu, what does this Golden Immortal mean?"
"Does it mean they are even stronger than immortals?"
Liu Xian's face had turned pale from Wu Tian's power. He trembled and said, "Miss Bai, you don't know his strength?"
"A Golden Immortal is already considered a supreme existence. Even the Eight Great Sects would not dare to be disrespectful if they met one!"
"What did you say?!" Bai Ruoqi exclaimed in shock, then looked at Wu Tian with disbelief.
Just a few months ago, Wu Tian was clearly only a low-grade immortal.
But how had he now become the supreme existence that Liu Xian spoke of?
Even though she didn't understand what a Golden Immortal represented, an existence that could command the respect of the Eight Great Sects, how powerful must that be?
On the other hand, Bai Haonan had naturally also heard Liu Xian's explanation.
He was like a bolt from the blue, unable to sort out his thoughts for a long time.
After a while, he spoke as if his soul had left him, "No, no, this is wrong!"
"This must be a mistake on your part, look again, things are definitely not as you think!"
At this moment, he desperately wished someone would step forward and agree with him.
But everyone remained silent, as if speaking even half a word would cost them their lives.
Only then did Bai Haonan truly understand what a terrifying existence he had provoked.
But he still felt unwilling!
He had finally, finally been on the verge of success.
But at this critical juncture, why had he been defeated by Wu Tian again!
He couldn't swallow this insult!
Therefore, he became like a madman, shouting incessantly at those around him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
"This guy is just one person, with so many of us, can't we deal with him?"
"Don't worry, after this is done, I'll give you whatever you want!"
"Hurry up and go, all of you, hurry up!"
