The source of all this was Wutan's punch, which shattered the purple-clothed man's qi sea into powder!
This means that all his thousands of years of training have been in vain, all turned into nothing and ceased to exist. If his soul had not escaped quickly, it would have been reduced to ashes along with his qi sea!
Although his soul escaped the disaster, his qi sea was shattered and his soul had no place to stay. If there was no strong person to protect him, even if he was not killed by the person in front of him, he would be killed by other enemies sooner or later.
You know, as the commander of the city guards, he has made quite a few enemies over the years.
Therefore, the purple-clothed man was basically doomed, unless he was extremely lucky and could find a treasure that could revive the sea of life. But was there really such a treasure? Even if there was, it was probably not something that a mere city guard commander like him could get.
The purple-clothed man struggled to get up, carefully protecting his soul behind him, staring at Wu Tian, and said gloomily: "It turns out that you lied to me before. You didn't just break through to the Divine Transformation Stage, but you are a powerful master in the Great Accomplishment Stage!"
"Great Accomplishment Stage?"
Wu Tian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "Just think that I lied to you! Now can you tell me about the election of Shadow Guard and the situation in the movie city?"
"Movie studio? Why are you asking about the movie studio?" Only then did the man in purple face the question head-on, and doubts began to arise. This person had been asking about the movie studio, what was his intention
As for the list of candidates for the Shadow Guard position, the man in purple had a hunch, but he just asked casually and didn't really care. He probably only cared about the details of the movie studio.
That's right, this man's cultivation is so high and his combat power is so strong that even he, the commander of the city guards of the First City, was defeated in one blow. What's more, those who participated in the Shadow Guard election probably didn't take it seriously from beginning to end.
“It’s better not to ask for the reason. If you want to save your soul, just tell me quickly!” Wutan took a few steps forward and said lightly.
"It turns out that not only did he know about the purple-clothed man's trick in advance, he also set a trap at the city gate, allowing the purple-clothed man to jump in on his own." Cang Zheng stared at the figure in front of him, stunned, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
At the city gate, Cang Zheng saw and heard all of Wutan's behavior, and the words he whispered to the man in purple, but he did not care much about it. Now thinking back on it, he suddenly realized that it was Wutan who did it on purpose and set a trap.
Facing a stranger who possessed the essence of the fire element, the purple-clothed man would naturally be very vigilant. However, when Wu Tian said that the two had just broken through to the Divine Transformation Stage, it was difficult to see through their cultivation because they had practiced some evil ways.
In addition, Wutan's expression at the time was very realistic, and he acted very touched. Upon seeing this, the man in purple immediately turned his vigilance into disdain, and without any hesitation he killed the four city guards first and then attacked the two men.
Rather than saying that the man in purple was testing Wutan in order to get the treasure from him, it would be more accurate to say that Wutan deliberately set a series of traps to make him fall into the abyss step by step.
"What a horrible fellow!"
Cang Zheng couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. The longer he spent with Wutan, the scarier he felt. He used to have delusions of dealing with him, but now he couldn't help laughing when he thought about it.
At the same time, he couldn't help smiling bitterly in his heart. The two of them were enemies in the past, so he didn't realize that Wutan was amazing in any other aspects except his strength. Now he realized that compared with Wutan's strength, his character and calculations were more frightening.
Wutan and the man in purple naturally had no idea what Cang Zheng was thinking. The two men looked at each other, and finally the man in purple gave in.
He took out a piece of white paper from his bosom, on which were densely written small words, and with a slight shake of his arm, he flew towards Wu Tian: "This is the list of candidates participating in the Shadow Guard election this time. As for the movie studio, I really know nothing about it, because I have never been to a movie studio and I am not qualified to go."
"Take it and have a good look. These people may be your opponents." After a quick glance, Wu Tian threw the paper to Cang Zheng. The latter pursed his lips and muttered in his heart: "Others are easy to deal with, but I must not run into a bastard like you."
The rules of the election are based on a random lottery, which means that his opponent may not be someone else. He might meet Wu Tian in the first round.
"Don't worry, I won't let you become my opponent, because you are not qualified." Wu Tian transmitted the message, and then ignored Cang Zheng with blazing eyes, looked at the man in purple, frowned and said: "You really don't know the situation in the movie city?"
“I really don’t know. Even though I’m the commander of the First City’s city guards, in the eyes of those people in the Movie City, I’m not even as good as an ant. Even the City Lord is the same. The City Lord once told me in person that once he went to the Movie City to handle business, he was humiliated by the Movie City’s city guards before he could even enter the city.” The purple-clothed man shook his head and said self-deprecatingly.
"Why does it seem more and more confusing the more I listen? What kind of place is a movie studio exactly?" Wutan suddenly became interested, but also a little disappointed. He thought he could pry something out of this person, but he didn't expect that all his previous efforts were in vain.
Wutan glanced at the man in purple, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and a purple light flashed out from his arms and shot directly towards the man in purple.
It was fierce and powerful, with two rows of steel teeth that looked like they were made of purple gold iron, flashing with a terrifying edge! This was the gold-eating rat. The gold-eating rat's greatest weapon was its teeth. The essence of black iron, diamonds, and the like were only worthy of being its snacks!
Upon seeing the ferocious beast suddenly appear, the purple-clothed man's face changed drastically, despair arose spontaneously, and he hurriedly shouted: "I have already told you everything you want to know, why do you still want to kill me - ah!"
The gold-eating rat suddenly grew larger, reaching more than ten feet in length. It opened its wide mouth and swallowed both the man in purple and his soul into its mouth in one gulp. Its sound also stopped abruptly.
"Pah, pah, pah! It's so disgusting!" The gold-eating rat spat a few mouthfuls of saliva, then grew to the size of a finger and burrowed into Wutan's arms. One could still vaguely hear the laughter of the four violent apes and the complaints of the gold-eating rat.
At this time, Cang Zheng said shyly: "Wutian, can I ask you a favor?"
"Beg me?" Wutan was extremely surprised. This young Pavilion Master would actually take the initiative to beg him. Was he kicked in the head by the Golden Bull and became stupid
"Tell me! As long as it's not too extreme, I will consider it."
"In the future, when you socialize with others in Dark City, can you let me go, and you can supervise from the side. If I do anything wrong, you can immediately point it out through voice transmission." Suddenly seeing Wu Tian frowning, Cang Zheng hurriedly added: "Don't worry, I will try my best to control my emotions and will not cause you any trouble."
"Haven't you caused me enough trouble?" Wutan teased, but unexpectedly Cang Zheng blushed and looked at him with a very resentful look, which made Wutan get goosebumps all over his body.
“Ha! Go ahead if you want. If you change and become successful, I can report to the Pavilion Master as soon as possible.” Wutan smiled awkwardly, then turned around and left without looking back.
"Sometimes this bastard doesn't seem so annoying." Cang Zheng thought inexplicably, and then muttered in his heart: "If he knew my true identity, I wonder how he would react. I guess he would be shocked. Maybe with his personality, he would just be a little surprised..."
With a wave of his hand, the soil rolled up, and the bodies of Zhou Qian and others were buried underground. Then he slowly followed.
Just as Wutan and the other man walked through the gate and disappeared into the city, a man in black appeared at the location where the man in purple and others were killed. With a gentle wave of his big hand, Zhou Qian and others who had been buried by Cang Zheng previously emerged with the surge of mud.
"How could Li Feng and Yan Kuan be so powerful that they could kill the first city guard commander in a blink of an eye? And why have I never heard of that purple rat?"
"It seems that this matter is not that simple. I have to inform the city lord. Maybe this time Li Feng can really become a shadow guard. Then my Ninth City will undergo earth-shaking changes. By the way, I can go to the Eternal Bet to make a bet."
After muttering a few words, the man in black buried Zhou Qian and his men, then disappeared without a trace.
However, after this person left, another figure appeared. This was a thin middle-aged man, wearing a gorgeous purple-gold robe, with a sharp face and an extraordinary demeanor. Standing in the air, he was like a purple-gold star, extremely dazzling!
"I didn't expect that I would find such an interesting thing when I went out for a walk on a whim. The city guard commander was killed in one move. It's interesting. Should I tell Wang Fan about this and put some pressure on this kid to see what else he can do?"
"Forget it. With my status, if I do something shameless like this, I will be laughed at by everyone in the world when they find out. It's better to just let it go. But to be honest, I'm really looking forward to how this kid performs next."
…
Fighting arena.
The fighting arena of the First City is located in the center of the city, covering an area of about ten thousand feet and can accommodate at least one hundred thousand people.
The Fighting Arena is also the most lively place in the First City, because there is a clear rule in the First City that private fighting is prohibited, except in the Fighting Arena, so this place has become a place for everyone to settle personal grudges.
The population of the First City is over 150,000. Disputes occur almost every day, and there are no less than a hundred people fighting in the arena for life and death.
Some people with vicious eyes started to have evil ideas. They acted as the banker and started gambling games, betting on who would win and who would lose, and made huge profits from it. Over time, most people in the city got used to it, and every time a game started, they would come to join in the fun.
Finally, the City Lord's Mansion saw the benefits here and issued an order to expel all the others. The City Lord personally sent people to set up the only gambling table here, named - Eternal Casino!
The Eternal Casino is built right next to the gate of the fighting arena. The four large golden characters, hung on a dark building, are particularly eye-catching. Compared with them, the three characters on the gate of the fighting arena seem a little dim.
Today, the Eternal Casino is countless times more lively than any other day. It is packed with people, noisy, and full of discussions. And all this is only because today is the battle for the Shadow Guard!
"Using this method to make money, the mayor of the First City is really crazy about wealth." Not far from the Eternal Casino, Wutan and another person stood in the crowd. Looking at the crowded place in front of them, Cang Zheng pouted and said with disdain.
