Chapter 632: Provocation and Testing
Hearing a scream on the martial arts arena, everyone's heart was in their throat, and their eyes were focused on the arena.
It was Zhao Hailei who threw the punch, and Nie Tian just stood there, why was it the former who screamed in panic.
At this time, the crowd had no idea of Zhao Hailei's shock.
He punched out, but the shadow of the fist hit Nie Tian, as if hitting a huge net. Although the fist was strong, there was no place to exert force, and his whole body was deeply trapped in it. He felt that the opponent was like an endless abyss, clamping him firmly.
"Go down!" Then, a faint voice sounded, Nie Tian's body shook slightly, a blue light flashed, Zhao Hailei screamed, and fell off the martial arts arena.
"What's going on?" The crowd's eyes trembled at the sudden scene, showing a stunned expression.
Zhao Hailei took the initiative to attack, but was rebounded by his own strength and fell directly off the martial arts arena. This was too weird.
"You..., cheating!" Zhao Hailei stabilized his body and looked at Nie Tian on the stage with anger, embarrassed and red.
"Cheating?" Nie Tian glanced at Zhao Hailei, shook his head and smiled, suddenly took a step forward, and then a fierce sword intent soared into the sky, the sword intent was majestic and whistling, and a clear sword chant burst out in the void, and a majestic sword shadow rushed towards Jintian Pavilion in the sky.
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, Jintian Pavilion pressed down a terrifying palm force and blocked the sword shadow.
Nie Tian's move was so sudden that even the referee at the side of the martial arts competition stage did not react.
In an instant, the whole audience was dead silent.
All eyes looked at Nie Tian, with disbelief in their eyes.
Is this guy crazy? He actually attacked Jintian Pavilion, and there were people from the four major families on it. Is he going to die?
All the questions in people's hearts were reflected on their faces as huge shock.
Zhao Hailei was also stunned at this time, looking at Nie Tian stupidly, his mouth opened wide, but he couldn't make any sound.
The sword intent just now was so powerful and terrifying that it was enough to kill a powerful person of the first level of the Divine Wheel in seconds.
Zhao Hailei realized at this moment that he had encountered an unfathomable opponent.
But none of this mattered. The most intriguing thing was Nie Tian's astonishing behavior.
In front of so many people, attacking the Jintian Pavilion was tantamount to provoking the authority of the four great families. This was definitely courting death!
As expected, the next moment, an angry roar sounded.
"Who is so bold as to attack the four great families!" After a deep roar, the great elder of the Mo family, Mo Xing, was the first to come out, but when he saw the man under the martial arts arena clearly, his expression froze. The person who attacked was actually Nie Tian!
"Lord Mo Xing, who is this person?" The other three elders also stepped out, their eyes locked on Nie Tian, and asked in surprise.
Everyone in Xumi Lingdu knew Nie Tian's name, but not many people had actually seen him.
It was not surprising that the elders of the Tang, Gu, and Qiu families did not know him.
Mo Xing's stiff expression eased slightly, and he sneered: "Who else dares to provoke the four great families in such an occasion except the newly promoted red-clothed elder of the Alchemist Guild, Lord Nie Tian?"
His words were full of sarcasm.
"It's him!" The other three looked at Nie Tian, and their expressions froze at the same time.
Nie Tian raised his head, smiled brightly, and said: "Sorry, I made a mistake and disturbed you. Please forgive me."
Mo Xing, Mo Xiaotian and others looked at each other, and were at a loss for a moment.
If other people made such a move, they would definitely be killed on the spot.
But Nie Tian's identity is different. He is the red-clothed elder of the Alchemist Guild. If he is killed because of this little thing, the Alchemist Guild will definitely not let it go.
In addition, what shocked them was that Nie Tian was not only a red-clothed elder, but also so terrifying in strength.
It was Mo Xiaotian who took Nie Tian's sword with one palm just now. He knew the power of that sword better than others, and it was definitely comparable to that of a fourth-level warrior of the Divine Wheel.
And when he looked at Nie Tian at this time, he felt that the latter had not used all his strength in the sword just now, but just made a random test.
At such an age, to achieve such an achievement is indeed extraordinary.
"It's okay, Elder Nie, just pay attention next time." Among the four people, the first to express his attitude was a slightly fat old man, the eldest elder of the Gu family, Gu Hong.
In addition to being the eldest elder of the Gu family, Gu Hong is also Gu Qiulong's grandfather. He once heard Gu Qiulong mention Nie Tian, and according to Gu Qiulong, Nie Tian once saved his life.
With this relationship, Gu Hong first expressed his attitude and said that he would not pursue it.
In fact, there is no way to pursue this matter, because Nie Tian is a red-clothed elder and cannot be touched.
"Since Lord Gu Hong said so, I think it's okay." Mo Xiaotian also knew that Nie Tian and Tang Shisan had a good relationship, so he was naturally happy to do a favor, and said with a dry laugh.
Mo Xing and Qiu Wuxi, the elder of the Qiu family, looked at each other, their faces were a little ugly, but they didn't dare to entangle, just coldly rebuked: "Don't do it again!"
The elders of the four families immediately returned to Jintian Pavilion, and a small storm was calmed down.
The crowd exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and their expressions were relieved a lot, but the eyes looking at Nie Tian were completely changed, becoming complicated, cautious, and full of awe.
This guy openly provoked the four major families, and the final result was just a sentence. It was really shocking.
Nie Tian glanced around, saw everyone's reaction, smiled slightly, and then glanced at Zhao Hailei, and said lightly: "Do you still think I'm cheating now?"
Zhao Hailei woke up as if from a dream, swallowed his saliva, and quickly said: "I am ignorant and didn't know you were Elder Nie Tian. I am sorry for the offense. Please forgive me, Elder Nie Tian."
Nie Tian nodded slightly, and his figure flashed and left directly.
If he didn't forgive, Zhao Hailei would have no chance to speak.
It must be said that Nie Tian's move made Gu Yi and Zhao Kuo, who were watching the battle from the outside, sweat.
If the elders of the four major families didn't give face to the Alchemist Guild, or joined forces to say that Nie Tian was provoking the four major families and had to kill him, then it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, the four major families were harmonious on the surface, but internally divided, and did not join forces.
"Brother Gu, was Elder Nie's move just now a bit too much?" Zhao Kuo calmed down and asked in a low voice.
Gu Yi nodded, but then shook his head and sighed: "I don't know either."
He knew that Nie Tian was very cunning and definitely didn't want to steal the limelight. There must be a deep meaning behind such a move.
Gu Yi guessed correctly. Nie Tian's sword just now was just to prove his strength to Zhao Hailei on the surface, but there were two other meanings behind it.
One was to test the attitudes of the four great families. Obviously, the Tang family and the Gu family were good to him, while the Mo family and the Qiu family had completely different attitudes. Nie Tian secretly remembered this.
Another meaning was that Nie Tian wanted to show his identity to everyone, so that his next battle would be much easier.
Knowing his identity and seeing his strength, most people would choose to admit defeat.
Nie Tian didn't want to fight one after another, it was too boring and tiring.
Next, the martial arts meeting continued.
The second battle on the No. 7 martial arts competition stage began. Two warriors stepped onto the martial arts competition stage, and one of them immediately attracted Nie Tian's attention.
