Three youths, all around twenty years old, strode in. The one in the lead wore black tight - fitting clothes. He was broad - shouldered and had a sturdy back. His hair was tied with a hero's scarf, looking extremely valiant. His expression was unusually cold and stern. The two behind him, one was tall and thin, and the other was short and fat. They wore black - and - white Taoist robes. The tall and thin one had a bluish complexion. Whether it was natural or due to a special cultivation method, he gave off an eerie and gloomy air!
"I've just entered the sect and am not familiar with the sect's rules. I hope all senior brothers can be lenient and let this matter pass. Is that all right?" Ding Hao said indifferently, without the panic that those who had done something wrong should have.
As soon as he clearly saw the three people who came in, Ding Hao already had an idea in his mind. The senior brother in the library had once told him that in the Wuji Demon Sect, these three people and he were all third - generation disciples. The one in black tight - fitting clothes was called Zhang Li. He was the only grandson of the great elder Zhang Heng. The tall and thin one was called Wang Yunfei, and the short and fat one was called Dai Zhenjun. Both of them were disciples of Zhang Li's father, Zhang Feng.
Zhang Heng doted on his only grandson extremely. He gave him the cultivation materials and techniques that he had painstakingly obtained for his use. The cultivation technique that Zhang Li practiced was called the Black - Fiend Demon Cloud Technique. Zhang Heng obtained it from somewhere, and it was extremely powerful. As a result, Zhang Li became the fastest - progressing among the third - generation disciples. At a young age, he had already reached the middle stage of the Enlightenment period, and many second - generation disciples hadn't reached this realm yet!
Precisely because of this reason, Zhang Li was extremely arrogant in the Wuji Demon Sect. If it weren't for Zhang Heng and Zhang Feng keeping a close eye on him, he would have already rushed out of the Soul - Severing Mountain to cause trouble in other sects.
Also, because he couldn't afford to offend others, Zhang Li could only find trouble with some disciples of the Wuji Demon Sect. Zhang Heng and Zhang Feng also knew his temper. Seeing that he only troubled the people of the Wuji Demon Sect, they turned a blind eye to his behavior. Since Wang Yunfei and Dai Zhenjun were both disciples of Zhang Feng, they were also birds of a feather!
These three people often troubled the third - generation disciples when they had nothing to do. Relying on their not - weak cultivation power and with the tacit approval of Zhang Heng and Zhang Feng behind them, they were really invincible. There weren't many third - generation disciples in the Wuji Demon Sect in the first place. With them causing trouble like this, more and more disciples went into seclusion. As a result, the Wuji Demon Sect was even more sparsely populated!
Last time, when they heard that Ding Hao had entered the sect, the three of them had planned to teach him a lesson. However, after they knew about it, Ding Hao had already gone into seclusion. They thought that Ding Hao was afraid of them, so they let it go!
Recently, they were feeling bored during cultivation when they suddenly found someone barbecuing food in the Wuji Demon Sect. The three of them were very surprised and followed the smell of the meat to find it. When they saw that it came from Ding Hao's room, they found an excuse of disturbing the sect's tranquility to teach him a lesson!
After figuring out the whole story, Ding Hao looked down on them a little. Relying on their elders and bullying the weak and fearing the strong, what kind of people were they? Looking at the cultivation levels of the three people, each of them was one level higher than his own. Not to mention Zhang Li, just Wang Yunfei and Dai Zhenjun were both at the late stage of the Bigu period, while Ding Hao was only at the middle stage of the Bigu period. However, Ding Hao believed that relying on the strength of his body and the secret method of the Wuji Demon Art, he wouldn't suffer too much against Wang Yunfei and Dai Zhenjun. But against Zhang Li, it would be difficult because there was a difference of one realm between them!
"Do you think we can just let it pass with one word from you? Then where is the sect's dignity? A new disciple is so rude. The three of us are all your senior brothers, yet you dare not even stand up and salute. You simply regard the sect's rules as nothing. It seems that if we don't teach you a lesson, you'll be lawless!" Wang Yunfei roared sinisterly, and Zhang Li and Dai Zhenjun also stared at him with a sneer.
Ding Hao thought for a while. Although the three of them wouldn't kill him, he definitely couldn't escape a beating. Although Ding Hao was physically strong, and the physical pain wouldn't cause too serious harm to his body, being at the mercy of others was definitely not his character. Moreover, the people in the demonic sect worshiped strength. If he let them succeed easily today, they would always ride roughshod over him in the future!
"Then... what kind of lesson do the three senior brothers have in mind? Hehe, I'll take it. The three senior brothers should be merciful!" Ding Hao said with a forced smile. The pig on the rack had been roasted, and he had extinguished the fire. Ding Hao stood up.
The three of them were a little surprised. Generally, new disciples in the sect would avoid them when they saw them. No one had ever dared to resist!
"Good, good. You have some backbone. Although I don't know what you rely on, just for this sentence, I have to look at you with new eyes. Dai Zhenjun, you go and have a friendly exchange with him and see what capital he has." Zhang Li ordered.
"Hehe, very good. I'll see what powerful cultivation method you've achieved in the year since you entered the sect, junior brother!" Dai Zhenjun grinned hideously and walked slowly towards Ding Hao.
Ding Hao remained silent, his body already adjusting, preparing for his first fight since he began cultivating. Ding Hao didn't know what demonic cultivation method Dai Zhenjun practiced. Before he even reached in front of Ding Hao, a light crimson smoke was thrown towards Ding Hao from his hand. The light smoke emitted high heat, making Ding Hao feel a little uncomfortable.
However, Ding Hao's cultivation had always been with the help of the inner elixir of the eight - winged purple python. The inner elixir of the eight - winged purple python itself was an extremely hot object in the world. Ding Hao's body's tolerance to high temperatures had long exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. This level of temperature had no effect on Ding Hao at all.
Suddenly, Dai Zhenjun's pace changed from slow to fast. In an instant, he was like a whirlwind, arriving in front of Ding Hao. His short and fat body seemed to have no hindrance to his speed. A red, high - heat - emitting fist grew from small to large in front of him. The air around was affected by this high heat, and the friction made a hissing roar. Ding Hao narrowed his eyes and focused all his attention on the changes of the fist.
When the fist was about to reach his face, Ding Hao activated the Nine - Nether Ghostly Secret Art and moved his body one zhang to the right without warning. Dai Zhenjun, due to inertia, passed by Ding Hao's shoulder and continued to rush forward. A cold light flashed in Ding Hao's eyes. In the next moment, he swept his leg at Dai Zhenjun's waist. Before Dai Zhenjun landed in the air, Ding Hao approached him again like a ghost and punched him hard in the stomach.
After landing, Dai Zhenjun's mouth was already filled with blood. His eyes were blood - red, staring at Ding Hao like a hungry wolf. Ding Hao's attacks were fast and fierce. By the time Zhang Li and Wang Yunfei wanted to help, it was already too late. Ding Hao knew that although his strength was astonishing, for a person at the late stage of the Bigu period, his body's endurance was still able to bear it 勉强.
Ding Hao walked towards Dai Zhenjun again and swept his foot towards him. Suddenly, a sound of something breaking through the air came from behind his head. Ding Hao sneered. He knew that someone finally couldn't bear it and started to attack him by surprise.
His expression remained unchanged. Ding Hao began to consider whether he needed to kill these two people here. Thinking that he still needed to stay in the Wuji Demon Sect for the time being, this approach was really unwise. Looking at the cultivation levels of the two people at the late stage of the Bigu period, if he used the Wuji Demon Art to devour the true qi of the two people, it would be of great benefit to him. But the actual situation didn't allow him to be so reckless.
Suppressing this tempting idea with great effort, Ding Hao had already thought of a solution!
In the blink of an eye, the sweeping motion of Ding Hao's thigh towards Dai Zhenjun didn't change, but his body rose one chi. Although Dai Zhenjun blocked this heavy blow with both hands, his injuries were aggravated again. Ding Hao's back also took a blow from the attacker, but for Ding Hao's body strength, it was still bearable. The most painful thing was that although Ding Hao could bear it, he had to pretend to be seriously injured. He forced a mouthful of blood out by operating the Demon Art. If with his cultivation level at the middle stage of the Bigu period, he was unharmed after taking a blow from a person at the late stage of the Bigu period, it would surely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives!
After retreating a few steps, he found that the attacker was Wang Yunfei. At this moment, the bluish air on Wang Yunfei's face was more obvious, and he also became extremely strange.
"Unexpectedly, in just one year since you entered the sect, your cultivation level has reached such a state, junior brother. Congratulations. Looking at your cultivation method, it doesn't seem to be our sect's Wuji Demon Art. I don't know what kind of technique it is that's so miraculous and has made you progress so fast. Uncle Chen Ling is really amazing! Hehe, let me experience your secret method again, junior brother!"
With a hideous laugh, Wang Yunfei approached again. Looking at that speed, he was even a little faster than Dai Zhenjun. With his cultivation level at the middle stage of the Bigu period and the speed of the Nine - Nether Ghostly Secret Art, Ding Hao could only barely keep up. After all, he had just started cultivating. Ding Hao's victory in the fight with Dai Zhenjun was due to surprise.
But now there was no room for any luck. After all, it was his first fight with someone. He had much less experience than Wang Yunfei. In just a short while, his body had been hit many times. Only relying on his strong body could he barely hold on.
Fortunately, in internal sect battles, weapons were not allowed. With Wang Yunfei's cultivation level, some powerful cultivation techniques and talismans couldn't be used either. As a result, this kind of fight was mainly physical combat. Otherwise, Ding Hao would have already fallen.
Another punch was thrown towards Ding Hao's chest. Ding Hao activated the Nine - Nether Ghostly Secret Art and dodged to the left, just arriving in front of Zhang Li's position. Suddenly, a huge demonic pressure pinned Ding Hao down, unable to move. In the next moment, a sharp pain rushed into his entire nerve from his body. Zhang Li finally made a move after a long - term unsuccessful attack!
After all, there was a difference of one level. The demonic cultivation method that Zhang Li practiced was also quite good. This heavy blow really injured Ding Hao, and it wasn't fake this time!
Ding Hao knelt on one knee, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, gasping for breath constantly. He secretly decided in his heart that if this person made another move, he would immediately take out the Heaven - Defying Sword. Even if he exposed all his treasures, he had to escape quickly. There was a difference of one realm, and he had been fighting for a long time and was now injured. He couldn't possibly be this person's opponent. Although Ding Hao thought that this person wouldn't take his life, he didn't dare to gamble with his own life. No wonder this person was so arrogant. He really had the capital to be arrogant!
Fortunately, this person was extremely confident in himself and didn't make another move. He just looked at Ding Hao and nodded slowly: "Not bad. You have some skills. You can still be half - standing and conscious after my blow. For this alone, I'll let you off today. Let this matter pass. Yunfei, take Dai Zhenjun, and let's go!"
"Wait. You've injured my apprentice. Do you think you can just leave like this? It's not that easy!" With a roar, Chen Ling stepped into the room!
