Chapter 8: My Name is Nie Huixiang

Wu Tian was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected the junior sister to propose such a condition. Initially, he was prepared to assist the two women, considering their affiliation with the Seven Star Academy. Wu Tian knew that to thrive in this unfamiliar world, he needed not only peak strength but also influential connections.

However, the proactive offer of marriage from the junior sister caught him off guard. Nevertheless, Wu Tian found himself quite willing.

"Junior sister, you..."

"Sister, we can't withstand the pursuers from the Empty Void Sect. Instead of falling into their hands, it's better to marry this young hero. This way, we can also save sister. I have no regrets!" The junior sister spoke with determination.

"Good! Let it be decided in this cheerful manner!" Without waiting for the senior to speak, Wu Tian stood up and declared loudly.

"Brothers! I spotted the footprints left by those two girls; they've escaped into this cave!" At this moment, shouts echoed outside the cave.

Soon, the sound of approaching footsteps grew louder.

"It's over! They're coming!" The senior sister's tone carried a hint of despair.

"Young hero, please help us!" The junior sister pleaded to Wu Tian with hope in her voice.

"Wife, don't be afraid. Leave dealing with these scoundrels to me!" Wu Tian patted his chest, quite eager to serve his future wife. Wu Tian wouldn't hesitate in protecting her.

"Haha..."

"We finally found you! You two girls actually hid here. It took us a whole hour to locate you. We've spent quite an effort! You lot, go grab those two girls; I want to taste their flavor properly!"

At this moment, a dozen disciples from the Empty Void Sect rushed in, holding torches. They looked at the two women with lecherous grins.

"If you dare harm my wife, I'll kill all of you!" Wu Tian, now a Level 10 Martial Artist, faced these lackeys of the Empty Void Sect with disdain.

Hearing Wu Tian's words, the junior sister blushed, but the dim lighting in the cave concealed it.

"Unexpectedly, there's someone else. I advise you not to meddle in the affairs of our Empty Void Sect. Otherwise, you'll be the first to die!" The sect members spoke arrogantly.

"Kill me? Let's see if you're capable!" Wu Tian sneered.

"Damn! So arrogant! Kill this kid for me!"

"Brothers, attack! Take him down!"

Immediately, the Empty Void Sect disciples brandished their weapons and charged at Wu Tian. Wu Tian, with a look of disdain, thought these sect lackeys were no match for him, even though their highest cultivation was at Level 3 Martial Artist. It might be decent for ordinary people, but for Liu Qi, it was insignificant.

"Seeking death!" Wu Tian smiled coldly, and the Black Dragon Blade appeared in his hand. His qi surged into the blade, resonating like a dragon's roar. With a swing towards the approaching disciples, a sharp blade energy shot out.

Swish! The blade energy passed through several bodies, leaving the Empty Void Sect disciples motionless in their tracks.

"Puff!" Suddenly, several of them spat out blood and collapsed.

Ding!

"Congratulations to player Wu Tian for killing Empty Void Sect disciples, gaining 1000 experience points and 500 silver coins!"

"Congratulations to player Wu Tian for killing Empty Void Sect disciples, gaining 3000 experience points and 1000 silver coins!"

"Congratulations to player Wu Tian for killing Empty Void Sect disciples, gaining 5000 experience points and a bottle of Extreme Bliss Powder!"

With just one move, three lackeys of the Empty Void Sect fell. Everyone, except Wu Tian, was dumbfounded.

"How... How is this possible! Our three junior brothers are all at Level 1 Martial Artist, yet they were solved with one move. How strong is that kid!"

"Damn! We've encountered a master. Senior brother, what should we do!"

"What do you mean, what to do? Attack him together!"

Seeing a dozen people rush towards him, Wu Tian remained indifferent. "Truly overestimating yourselves. Since you seek death, I won't make it hard for you!"

Wu Tian gripped his blade, took a step back with his left foot, and exerted force with both legs.

Boom! A loud sound echoed, leaving two deep footprints where Wu Tian had stood. Then, his body disappeared from everyone's sight.

"What the...? Where's the person?"

"Gone?"

"Here I am!" Wu Tian's mocking voice appeared behind several lackeys.

Several lackeys turned pale. They wanted to turn around, but it was too late.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion sounded, and five lackeys spewed blood, collapsing on the spot. The remaining ones were affected by Wu Tian's powerful qi, crashing into the cave walls.

"Ma... Damn it! Confronting us, the Empty Void Sect, you little brat, be prepared to face the consequences. Tell us your name, and we'll seek revenge in the future!"

"Hmm?" Wu Tian raised his eyebrows. "Playing this make-believe game in this world? Remember it well. My name will terrify you. Have you heard of the Nie family? I am Nie Huixiang! If you have the guts, come to the Nie family and seek revenge. I'll make sure to beat you down!"

"Nie family? One of the four major forces in Pingyang City! Fine! We'll remember it. Nie Huixiang, you remember this. We'll come to settle the score with you in the future!"

"We'll be waiting!" Wu Tian was nonchalant. He wasn't Nie Huixiang; there indeed was a Nie family in Pingyang City, and they had a member named Nie Huixiang, but he was just a playboy. When the Empty Void Sect went to find trouble with him, they'd be targeting the wrong person.

Several members of the Empty Void Sect glared at Wu Tian with resentment, then supported each other as they quickly retreated from the cave.

Seeing the Empty Void Sect disciples leave, the two women breathed sighs of relief and then sat down on the ground, feeling exhausted.

"Young hero, thank you for helping us!" The senior sister expressed her gratitude to Wu Tian, panting heavily.

"No need to thank me. I intervened for the sake of my wife's face," Wu Tian said with a playful smile.

"No! My junior sister can't marry you. You can propose any other conditions except for this one," the senior sister firmly objected.

"Once spoken, can words be taken back? In the future, your junior sister will be my wife. Your objection is invalid," Wu Tian waved his finger.

"Young hero, are you truly a member of the Nie family?" the junior sister asked somewhat embarrassed.

"No, no, no. I'm not a Nie family member. I'm a disciple of the Qitian Sect."

"Qitian Sect?" The two women's expressions changed abruptly. "No wonder you're so powerful!"

"You've misunderstood. In the eyes of others, I'm considered a waste, not powerful at all," Wu Tian shrugged, spreading his hands.

The two women were left speechless. To effortlessly defeat several Martial Artists with 

a single move, branding oneself as a waste seemed utterly unbelievable.

Wu Tian continued, "I may not be powerful, but let me tell you a secret. In this world, appearances can be deceiving."

The two women exchanged puzzled glances.

Wu Tian chuckled, leaving them in curiosity.
