Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 509 - 54 Let’s go together, I’m in a hurry

Yun Jiuxiao’s challenge left the guests in the Chengshan Building somewhat surprised.

No one had expected that the upstart from the Chengshan Sect would come forward and challenge the once declining Banshan Sect.

It is said that even a rotten ship has three pounds of nails, and a sick tiger is still a tiger. The Banshan Sect, despite its weakening, still had a Martial Arts Grandmaster supporting it. Not to mention that the Banshan Sect now had added another Martial Arts Grandmaster.

But soon, someone caught on to what was happening.

"This Sect Leader Yun must have made a deal with those nine families," someone muttered in secret.

Among these fourteen families, there were divisions between the upper nine families and the lower five families. The Upper Nine Families were those sects that had multiple Martial Arts Grandmasters, and each of those nine sects had attacked the Banshan Sect in the past.

Now that the Banshan Sect had invited the previous generation’s old Sect Master, these nine families were probably worried but unwilling to give up the fat prey that was the Banshan Sect.

So they joined forces and asked Yun Jiuxiao to act as their knife, testing the strength of the Banshan Sect.

If the old Sect Master of the Banshan Sect turned out to be strong, then the plan to divide the Banshan Sect would be put on hold temporarily, but if the old Sect Master was not as good as before, their plans would remain unchanged.

This plan was foolproof; the Upper Nine Families were strong, and even if the Banshan Sect realized what was happening, they couldn’t do anything about them.

Unfortunately, they still made a slight miscalculation.

Who would have thought that a wizard from the Otherworld would impersonate the old Sect Master of the Banshan Sect?

Richard was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, and then burst into laughter.

"Very good, very good. I was just worrying whether later I will have to watch those martial masters put on a pretense and fight. Seeing you all so eager, I am relieved."

With that said, Richard’s figure flashed, and the next moment he appeared on the arena.

He sized up the person opposite him, dressed in white and holding a single-handed sword, a Wild Beastman, and then said,

"Make your move, out of consideration for your saving me time, I might let you live afterward."

Yun Jiuxiao was taken aback by these words, and immediately, a surge of anger welled up in his heart. Since becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster, Yun Jiuxiao had never been looked down upon like this.

An old thing that had been in seclusion for hundreds of years really had become muddled in the head.

Although angry, Yun Jiuxiao did not let his rage cloud his judgment. He politely gave Richard a salute and then drew his sword.

"Since the old senior underestimates me so, do not blame the junior for going hard on you!"

With those words, Yun Jiuxiao’s figure moved, and his body suddenly split into nine, sealing off Richard’s front, back, left, right, and five positions above the head.

In an instant, the nine figures moved simultaneously, and dazzling sword light instantly submerged the entire arena.

With his anger bolstering him, Yun Jiuxiao’s sword light was even sharper than usual.

"The Nine Heavens Sword Technique truly lives up to its reputation," a martial artist praised.

"It is rumored that the Nine Heavens Sword Technique combines the Divine Dao and Qi Path to create illusions as real as life. Looking at it now, this is indeed not groundless."

"Alas, that old Sect Leader of the Banshan Sect must have sequestered himself into confusion. Otherwise, the Banshan Sect wouldn’t have let him appear now."

In Chengshan Building’s ninth floor, jeering comments also spread from the rooms of the thirteen families.

Someone sneered, "Indeed, he’s senile. Even I wouldn’t dare to take on the full force of that Nine Heavens Sword Technique completely. The Banshan Sect is doomed this time."

Long Xiaotian, who had spoken earlier, looked at the arena submerged in sword light and also shook his head.

Although Yun Jiuxiao’s strength was not very strong, his Nine Heavens Sword Technique was indeed remarkable. A direct hit, without Treasure Armor to defend, would have left him severely injured.

He had seen clearly just before; when the old Sect Master of the Banshan Sect went down, he was wearing just a simple garment without any armor.

This hit was likely to decide the victor directly...

Suddenly, a voice entered the ears of the many spectators.

"Not bad martial skills, my decision to let you move first was in no way mistaken."

As the sword light faded, there was Richard, holding Yun Jiuxiao by the neck in one hand, and a shattered long sword blade in the other.

Richard looked at Yun Jiuxiao’s face, which was turning red and whose body couldn’t move, and spoke calmly, "I said I would spare your life, so you’re still alive."

With that, he casually tossed Yun Jiuxiao’s body, which flew dozens of meters and returned to the room where he had been.

Silence, the kind that let one hear their own heartbeat.

A Martial Arts Grandmaster, proud of his martial skills and having executed them perfectly, defeated by his opponent in a single move.

What did that imply?

It meant that their strength was no longer on the same level.

In the rooms, Kong Xiong murmured to himself, "Master, have you really understood the Heavenly Dao?"

Mastering the rules is a qualitative change for a third-level creature.

Their guesses were indeed correct, but the reasoning process was wrong.

Against Yun Jiuxiao, Richard did not use any rules; he simply activated his Vajra Body, went to Yun Jiuxiao’s real side, broke through his Energy Shield, also known as Protective Gang Qi called by the Wild Beastmen, and captured him.

The whole process, apart from being fast, involved no techniques or any rules.

Yun Jiuxiao, who had only become a third-level creature a few hundred years ago, had no power to fight back against a top-tier third-level creature like Richard.

The thirteen families, as they looked at Richard in the arena unharmed, not even a corner of his garment disturbed, felt a tremor within.

The hundred-legged worm is tough to kill; after so many years of decline, the Banshan Sect could still produce such a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

An old sect that had stood for more than three thousand years had indeed profound depth. It seemed that the plan to divide the Banshan Sect would have to...

"Those upstairs, I’m short on time, so make it simple, come up together," came a rough voice, interrupting the deliberations of the families, and echoing in the ears of the remaining twelve Sect Leaders. They looked and saw Richard standing in the center of the arena, issuing a challenge to them.

"Come up together? Very well, very well!" a Sect Leader bitterly laughed with anger.

Each of them, Sect Leaders who called the shots in Chengshan City, when had they ever been belittled like this?

Seeing no response from them, Richard couldn’t help but frown.

"Wasting time."

After saying this, Richard tapped the ground with the tip of his toe and instantly flew up to the ninth floor. Before the twelve Sect Leaders could react, he threw a punch directly at the room closest to him.

In that instant, the entire space on the ninth floor seemed to freeze, and the energy in the space converged toward Richard like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

The more energy there is in the air, the more powerful the Unity of Heaven and Man Combat Skills become.

In a world like the Wilderness Land, which is abundant in energy, this combat skill’s power was pulled to its peak.

Boom!

With one punch thrown, the attacked room completely vanished. The Martial Arts Masters and disciples within it all turned to ash with that one punch.

Richard hovered in the air, his expression calm, his gaze indifferent.

"If you don’t come up now, you’ll lose your chance."

The air fell silent for a moment before eleven astonishing bursts of energy erupted from within the rooms.

"You old fart, you’re too arrogant!"

"Do you really think that with a bit of understanding of the Heavenly Dao, you can do as you please in Chengshan City?"

"Die!"

Fourteen major clans of Chengshan City, excluding the Banshan Sect, Jiuxiao Sect, and the unnamed clan Richard just obliterated with a punch, the remaining eleven Sect Leaders nearly took action at the same time.

Each one of them brought out their sect’s treasured ultimate moves.

They could tell—if they dared hold back, they would be the next ones to die in the coming second.

At the same time, inside Chengshan Building, almost all the Wild Beastmen had rushed out from the rooms. Whether they were wealthy merchants or wandering swordsmen, their expressions were all filled with excitement at that moment.

Eleven Martial Arts Masters simultaneously attacking one person—such an earth-shattering scene, even in the tens of thousands of years of Chengshan City’s history, was unheard of.

Seeing such a once-in-a-lifetime scene was worth dying for!

In the sky, Richard’s expression remained unchanged amid the onslaught of eleven Martial Arts Masters.

In his perception, these Martial Arts Masters moved as slow as turtles. He even had the time to analyze the flaws in each Master’s techniques and counterattack with precise force.

But he did not plan to do so.

His visit this time was to establish his character. He is now the old Sect Leader of the Banshan Sect who has had an epiphany after many years of secluded cultivation; the strength of this character, all depended on establishing it at the Chengshan Martial Arts Conference.

Martial Arts require accumulation over time. Taking advantage of the reason of his seclusion still being valid, he must rapidly enhance his covert power level.

This would also make his future actions more convenient.

Therefore, Richard chose to use overwhelming strength to break all techniques.

"Do you dare to embarrass yourself with these trifling tricks?"

Richard snorted coldly, sweeping his hands, and once again executed Unity of Heaven and Man. But this time was different. Watch as the energy that converged toward Richard due to Unity of Heaven and Man formed a phantom in the air under his manipulation.

The phantom’s appearance was exactly that of the Moving Mountain Barbaric Bull depicted in the Banshan Barbarian Bull Map!

"Moving Mountain Barbaric Bull Statue! The Banshan Sect has completed its Body Refining Technique!"

"No, it’s not just completion—it’s a new technique! The old Sect Leader of the Banshan Sect has derived a new martial art from the Body Refining Technique!"

"After a thousand years of decline, is the Banshan Sect finally rising?"

The next moment, the attacks of the eleven Sect Leaders fell upon the Moving Mountain Barbaric Bull Statue.

Boom!

Instantly, a thunderous explosion resounded on the top floor, and the shockwaves that scattered blew Chengshan Building’s top floor into splinters.

Inside Chengshan Building, splinters flew like rain. The thousands of Wild Beastmen looked up to the sky, only to see the Moving Mountain Barbaric Bull Statue standing tall in the sky, as majestic as a mountain.

The nature of this Moving Mountain Barbaric Bull Statue was Richard’s Composite Magic Shield. The attacks of these Sect Leaders, strong as they were, barely exceeded ten thousand Energy Levels, and the weaker ones had only eight or nine thousand Energy Levels; they stood no chance of breaking Richard’s shield.

Richard swept a glance at the surrounding Sect Leaders and said indifferently, "Now it’s my turn."

After saying this, he threw a punch, and the bullish phantom on his body also burst forward. The next moment, the Sect Leader that the punch was directed at exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Richard turned his figure and threw another punch with his right hand, aimed at Long Xiaotian, whom he had greeted upon entering the building.

Long Xiaotian’s expression was ashen, his massive four-meter tall body covered in dark blue scales.

Faced with this punch, he folded his arms together and a Jiao Dragon phantom emerged from his body, wrapping around him.

"This is... Jiao Dragon Protection! Long Xiaotian’s Jiao Dragon Sacred Body has been cultivated to the highest realm!"

"The Jiao Dragon Protection is said to withstand a hit from a Grandmaster, it seems that..."

Boom!

The Jiao Dragon phantom was dispersed by the horn of the Moving Mountain Barbaric Bull, and Long Xiaotian, who was shielded within it, exploded into a cloud of blood mist in an instant.

"Old Dragon Ghost and I had some connection back in the day; sparing your life pays back that favor."

As the blood mist dissipated, Long Xiaotian, covered in shattered scales and his Life Radiation weakened to the point of falling below the threshold of third-level creatures, struggled to stay standing.

He bowed solemnly towards Richard.

"Thank you for showing mercy, senior."

Richard paid him no mind and turned his attention to the other Sect Leaders.

At this moment, these people had already united together, with various Treasure Armors and luminous Martial Arts techniques merging as if forming a giant glowing turtle shell.

The Sect Leaders within the turtle shell were ready for defense, but Richard scoffed in disdain.

These Sect Leaders were not skilled in military formations; their defense was nothing but multiple Shields stacked together.

Using his knowledge of Plastic Energy Study, he estimated that this shield could, at best, defend against an attack of thirteen thousand Energy Levels.

Thirteen thousand Energy Levels were no different from folding paper in front of Richard.

Richard sneered at these Sect Leaders, "It’s good that you’re all together, so you won’t be lonely on your way up."
