Chapter 190: The Lethal Blade Batatian

A tipsy He Tian received a phone call from Lazy Cat.

Then, He Tian's expression instantly turned very grim.

"What's wrong?" Young Master Hai noticed the change in He Tian and asked.

"People from the Tyrannical Blade Sect have come knocking!" He Tian shook his head, the Three Dragons internal force rapidly circulating within his body. Wisps of vapor immediately appeared above He Tian's head, and a strong scent of alcohol emanated from within the vapor!

"Brother, I'm sorry. I wasted your wine!" There was not a trace of drunkenness left on He Tian's face.

"What are you talking about! The Tyrannical Blade Sect... since they came openly in broad daylight, they are playing by the Jianghu rules! Big Brother will accompany you for a trip! To act as a witness, how about that?" Young Master Hai pondered for a moment and said.

"I couldn't ask for anything better!" He Tian agreed with a smile!

"A-Kun, please ask your Senior Brother and Elder Lin to come out with me!" Young Master Hai immediately said to A-Kun.

A-Kun, who had been standing not far away, nodded and quickly went to fetch Qi Cheng and Elder Lin.

He Tian's car led the way in the front, followed by Young Master Hai's motorcade behind, and the group headed towards Dragon Sea Garden.

"Little Brother, the place you've set up here almost makes me envious!" Looking at He Tian's brand-new villa—no, it should be called a castle—a look of envy appeared on Young Master Hai's face.

"Big Brother, stop mocking me! I had no choice but to do this! The Wang sisters could be in danger at any moment... If I'm not careful and cautious, I might end up meeting my doom before I even know what happened!" He Tian said with a smile.

"Little Brother, I don't know if I should ask this, but I'm truly curious. Just who are these people targeting the Wang sisters?" Young Master Hai asked with a curious expression.

"Big Brother, you know me well enough. If I knew who was targeting the Wang sisters, would I be adopting such a passive stance right now?" He Tian said with a helpless expression: "The crucial point is that I don't even know who the other party is! Investigation yields no clues, which really depresses me!"

"That's true too!" Young Master Hai nodded and laughed!

"Little Tian!" Lazy Cat greeted them as he walked out. Seeing Young Master Hai and the others, Lazy Cat was slightly taken aback, but still nodded politely by way of greeting!

"Brother Cat, how many of them?" He Tian asked.

"Two! They are right over there! They called you out by name and said they wanted to handle things according to Jianghu rules! I held back and didn't make a move, what do you say we should do?" A flash of murderous intent crossed Lazy Cat's eyes! Given Lazy Cat's personality... he should have just killed them outright!

"The strength of the Tyrannical Blade Sect is quite decent. If we can avoid provoking such a formidable enemy, it's best to avoid it as much as possible!" He Tian shook his head slightly and said.

"They were the ones who ambushed you first, and now they've come looking for trouble! This is going too far!" Lazy Cat said indignantly.

"Brother Cat... now is not the time to disregard everything! Let's wait and see first!" He Tian patted Lazy Cat on the shoulder, appearing very calm.

"Elder Brother Hai, please!" He Tian didn't forget to invite Young Master Hai!

Then the group walked directly towards the beach.

A lightning-fast figure flashed out from the woods!

This gave Young Master Hai a huge shock!

A-Kun, Qi Cheng, and Elder Lin quickly surrounded Young Master Hai, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Wukong!" He Tian reached out a hand, and Wukong directly hung onto He Tian's arm, then did a flip and squatted right on He Tian's shoulder.

"Behave yourself!" He Tian stroked Wukong, signaling him not to look at Young Master Hai and the other three with hostility!

"Elder Brother Hai, I'm sorry to startle you. This is a friend I made during my travels in the past! Haven't seen each other for a day, so he's acting a bit too enthusiastic!" He Tian said with a beaming smile.

"Little brother... you... this is really astonishing." Introducing a monkey as a friend to Young Master Hai, Young Master Hai immediately realized how much importance He Tian attached to this monkey... Wukong, Young Master Hai thought to himself, that name is quite fitting indeed!

A-Kun, Qi Cheng, and Elder Lin all relaxed.

Just now, they had really been afraid that some unexpected situation would arise.

A-Kun and Qi Cheng didn't mind much, but Elder Lin was now looking brightly at Wukong on He Tian's shoulder.

Elder Lin had always appeared apathetic, but now, there was a clear change.

"Mr. He, is this... a spirit beast?" Elder Lin suddenly asked.

With Elder Lin asking this, Young Master Hai, A-Kun, and Qi Cheng were all greatly surprised!

Although Young Master Hai was not an internal force cultivator, he was not unfamiliar with this circle; on the contrary, he was very familiar with it. As for A-Kun and Qi Cheng, needless to say, they were internal force cultivators themselves, beings within this circle.

They all understood what a spirit beast represented in today's society.

"Elder Lin, Wukong is quite spiritual! Sometimes communicating with him feels just like talking to a normal person! But whether he's a spirit beast or not, I really don't know!" He Tian stroked Wukong and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether Wukong is a spirit beast or not!"

Wukong seemed to understand He Tian's words and rubbed affectionately against He Tian's body.

Such lively and intelligent behavior startled Young Master Hai and the others once again.

Elder Lin didn't ask any further questions.

The group continued forward.

He Tian saw two people standing on the beach!

One of them was Fan Jian, who was carrying a long bag in his hand. Standing beside him was a man in his thirties wearing a Tang suit.

Compared to Fan Jian, his build was not particularly tall and upright, nor was he exceptionally robust. Yet Fan Jian stood obediently beside him, looking very respectful.

"I am He Tian. Fan Jian, we meet again!" He Tian said with a faint smile: "I wonder what brings you here this time?"

"You are He Tian?" Fan Jian didn't speak, but the other man stared directly at He Tian and asked in a deep voice.

"Who are you? Do you understand the rules? Don't you know that talking like this is very impolite?" He Tian immediately glared back and said unceremoniously.

"Arrogant indeed! Listen well, my name is Batian..." Batian said in a deep voice.

"Death-Sparing Blade Batian!" Qi Cheng blurted out in shock.

"It seems not everyone is ill-informed!" Batian said with a smile.

"Are you very famous? I've never heard of you... Hmm, Brother Qi, is this Death-Sparing Blade a moniker that only popped up recently?" He Tian asked with a smile, turning directly to Qi Cheng.

Qi Cheng felt quite annoyed at his own slip of the tongue just now. But seeing He Tian ask, and knowing how much Young Master Hai valued He Tian, Qi Cheng was exceptionally polite to He Tian as well, smiling and saying: "That is true indeed. To be precise, the moniker of the Death-Sparing Blade only rose to prominence within the past half year."

"Hahaha, no wonder... I haven't concerned myself with Jianghu affairs for many years! It's only normal that I haven't heard of some up-and-coming juniors!" He Tian wore a look of sudden realization. What he said made people feel even more bizarre!

Just how old was He Tian? Yet he spoke in such an aged and venerable tone, which really made one want to double over with laughter... It was obvious that He Tian was deliberately targeting this Death-Sparing Blade Batian.

"Audacious! Fan Jian, bring me the blade!" Batian's expression sank noticeably, extremely infuriated. Being mocked like this by He Tian instantly filled Batian with murderous intent!

Fan Jian quickly put down the long bag in his hand and drew a bright, shining long blade.

At a glance, this blade looked exceptionally sharp... It definitely belonged to a lethal weapon capable of cutting through metal and splitting stone!

"Hahaha, coming to my house! And wanting to kill someone just because a sentence doesn't suit your fancy... How tyrannical! Is this the style of the Tyrannical Blade Sect? Then where does my tyranny stand?" He Tian's face darkened. Although his voice was low and slow, his murderous intent was also surging wildly!

Just as He Tian's voice fell!

Shenfeng, hiding in the dark, issued an order. Meanwhile, from virtually all directions in the surrounding area, gun barrels emerged from highly concealed positions!

"You... you're still as despicable as ever!" Seeing this, Fan Jian's expression changed, and he pointed at He Tian and said.

"Shut your mouth! Damn it, do I seem to have been too good-natured in my demeanor lately? Making everyone feel like I'm easy to bully? I truly regret not putting a bullet straight through your head that day!" He Tian suddenly flew into a near-rage, his voice rising infinitely: "Ambushing me first, and I kindly let you go, but now you bring people here to provoke me, and he—his murderous intent is so obvious, his desire to kill is clear at a glance! Is this the style of your Tyrannical Blade Sect?"

He Tian actually had a very bad temper!

Those who knew He Tian well all knew that He Tian belonged to the hot-tempered type! It's just that this fiery temper wasn't the kind to ignite at the slightest spark, but if He Tian's temper was truly triggered, his explosive nature would manifest itself thoroughly.

Just like right now!

"You, as an internal force cultivator..." Batian hadn't expected He Tian to react this way; he was somewhat taken aback, and beneath that astonishment lay deep anger.

"Crap! Don't talk to me about internal force cultivators! Let me tell you, I used to kill people specifically with these conventional weapons! I practice Qi purely for physical fitness! Don't talk to me about Jianghu rules! They don't restrict me in the slightest! Now, put that blade down immediately! Otherwise, I don't mind turning you into a sieve right now!" He Tian pointed at Batian and Fan Jian, his face flushed red, looking like he was completely flying off the handle!

"I..." Batian wanted to say something tough!

The corners of Shenfeng's mouth in the distance already curved into a cruel smile. Then, without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

The long blade tightly gripped in Batian's hand was instantly struck!

The immense force and sudden turn of events caused the long blade in Batian's hand to be knocked out of his grip in an instant.

"Next time, it'll be your head!" Shenfeng muttered as he licked his lips.

In fact, according to Shenfeng's style, this shot should have directly blown up Batian's head.

However, considering his current change in identity, Shenfeng exercised a great deal of restraint! He only used this method to warn Batian... telling him that here, he must never, ever be arrogant! This was certainly not a place where the Death-Sparing Blade could act presumptuously!

Rules? What a joke... What era is this! How can anyone still be so pedantic?
