Chapter 36: Shamelessness to the utmost pinnacle!

"You do? Swear a heavenly oath that if you lose, you will decapitate your head or the heavens smite you and the nine generations of your family!" Wang Tian was quite ruthless. Dragging in family was a gruesome act.

"What?! Why do we have to drag our family into this? Aren't you being a bit too unreasonable? We didn't bring out your family but you dare to bring up ours?" Old Third couldn't help but say.

Wang Tian snorted and thought to himself, 'Didn't bring out my family you say? What hypocrisy! Earlier you mocked my father's status without even knowing his real identity! Of course If you knew, then you'd be busy currying favor with him!'

He kept these thoughts to himself since it would be quite detrimental to his father if people find out his real identity, his real cultivation base. The information would most likely scare them to death or perhaps they won't believe him. Regardless, Wang Tian wasn't someone who would cause his own downfall unless he wanted to.

"Just say it if you dare to take the bet or not. You're all wasting my time. I've just got back and I have no time fooling around with you lot." Wang Tian said indifferently but his tone was icy.

This further enraged the three elders. "Fine! We accept the bet!" said the three.

"I, Old Third swear a heavenly oath that If we lose in this bet with this little scoundrel then I shall decapitate my own head. Otherwise, the heavens smite myself and the nine generations of my family!" Old Third declared. The skies roared with lightning as acknowledgement to his oath.

Old Fourth and Old Sixth quickly followed him. "I Old Fourth swear a heavenly oath that If we lose to this brat in this bet, I shall decapitate my own head! May the heavens smite me and the nine generations of my family if I don't!" Old Fourth's voice reverberated through the sky. Once again, the heavens roared with lightning as acknowledgement to what he said.

"I, Old Sixth, swear a heavenly oath thag If we loss to this ignorant brat in this bet, I shall decapitate my head! May lightning rain down to myself and the nine generations of my family if I chicken out! May the heavens bear witness to our oaths and bet!" Old Sixth said.

Each called Wang Tian with different insulting names. This incensed Wang Tian a bit but he didn't want to stoop so low and fight them just because of it. He wasn't as pathetic as these bunch, who want nothing but to kill him simply because of ulterior motives.

The other three members of the Council of Judges, Old First, Old Second and Old Fifth along with Zhou Weiqing looked at Wang Tian and sighed. "Such a genius dying easily. It is true that many talented cultivators die prematurely." They said these words with a hint of regret and as if the result of the match was already set in stone. But Indeed! The result of the match was already set in stone! Contrary to their opinions however, Wang Tian will win.

Shu Mingzhu, the lady who was covered in a cloak with a veil covering her face looked at the people in front of her and sighed. However, she did not know if which side would her sigh be dedicated. Her intuition told her that something very awful was about to happen. But she couldn't point her finger on it.

"Alright, I will oversee this bet. Do you all disagree?" Shu Mingzhu said and stepped up. She knew that there was no running away from the Heavenly Oath. But she couldn't accept it. If either one of the sides died, it would be a tremendous loss to the sect.

"Why would we disagree? You're the most senior here. Naturally, you should be the

one to oversee this trivial bet of ours."

"Yeah Lady Seventh! We totally agree."

"It's alright. Please do so. We'd be honored."

"Kid, you are so hung up on dying that we will now fulfill your wish. Any dying command?" Old Fourth said with a wide grin.

Wang Tian looked at the three as if he was looking at clowns. He shook his head and said, "Dying command? Dying wish? Who said I'm the one dying tonight?".

Wang Tian smiled evilly at the three. His smile was so big that it reached his ear to the other ear.

Old Sixth was the oldest and most talented amongst the tree. He had lived more years than them. So he had experienced more than them. He felt chills run down his spine when he saw Wang Tian's smile. He felt that something was wrong. But he thought that it was rather impossible for them to not be able to kill Wang Tian unless the kid had defensive talismans. Thinking of this, he voiced out, "Wait up. I think you shouldn't be permitted to use defensive talismans or anything that can shield you. Furthermore, you are forbidden to use techniques. Such as that technique of yours which you used to turn your skin into copper earlier."

Wang Tian laughed disdainfully when he heard this. "Are you all really that afraid of dying? Very well, I shall grant your request. But in return, you all are only granted one attack each. You aren't allowed to use weapons. Only your bare hands. I suppose that's not much of a trouble right? Considering you think so highly of yourselves?" Wang Tian said with a smile. How pathetic were these people? They didn't want to die yet they tried to kill him? They don't want to take the responsibility and consequence that were born from their stupid actions.

How utterly pathetic!

"Are you that shameless Old Sixth? Not wanting a kid to use a defensive talisman against three Zifu realm experts. Are you that of a sore loser?" Old Fifth finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Who asked for your opinion? Brat you're the one who brought this upon yourself! Now you must die because of your sheer arrogance!" Old Third ruthlessly said.

Wang Tian only smiled and said nothing. However what he did next greatly infuriated the three more. He opened his arms wide and then closed his eyes. "Okay, come at me" Wang Tian nonchalantly said. He was leaving his whole body exposed!

The three members of the Council of Judges were now fuming with rage.

"What unparalleled arrogance!"

They looked at each other and then transmitted to each other messages. "We have one attack each, should we attack together or separately?" Old Third asked.

"I think we should attack separately. Since if one us can't kill him, at least we still have two more chances." Old Fourth declared.

Of course, Old Sixth was the one calling shots since he was the most powerful in the group. "I think we should just attack him together so that we can get this over with. If we attack together, not only will our damage output be much higher but we will also be able to retain much of our strength if those five wants to stop us or fall out with us. It will be troublesome and we might even lose our lives since Lady Seventh is here. However, the king always writes the story. That's why as long as we kill Wang Tian and get away with it, I'm sure these five won't be able to lay a finger on us." Old Sixth said. He was really malicious and scheming! He was already thinking of a plan against the other five present here. If a fight were to suddenly break out, they were clearly in a disadvantage in numbers. Old Third, Old Fourth and Old Sixth were always arguing with the other three. That's why even though they were all members of the same council, they harbor ill intentions towards each other. This was natural though. The human race is a selfish race. A conceited race who thinks only about their own profit. Loyalty and selflessness was something that was as rare as as phoenix feather or a qilin's horn.

So it wasn't entirely a strange thing to see people from the same sect turn against each other.

The three nodded towards each other and then they dashed towards Wang Tian. Old Third mustered all of his power into his fist and threw a punch towards Wang Tian's face. Clearly intending to crush Wang Tian's skull. Old fourth straightened his hands like a blade. He also used his full power into slicing Wang Tian's arm with his hand. At their level of cultivation, anything that they use can become a weapon. Even their own hands. They could turn them into blades that although might not be a much to normal weapons, was a rather simple but deadly weapon.

Old Sixth on the other hand jumped towards Wang Tian's back and then started to punch towards Wang Tian's spine. This happened at the same time. They were smart enough to utilize their full strengths at the same time as they did not dare to fool around simply because their lives were on the line. But what did it matter? A single powerful Bang echoed about.

What they saw next made their pupils constrict.

Heavens?! What have I seen?!

The attacks of the three didn't go as they all expected! They all heard Wang Tian cough softly in pain but that was it! Wang Tian didn't die! In fact, he wasn't the slightest damaged!

"I knew it... Looks like I'll have to find new members for my Council of Judges." Shu Mingzhu said with a sigh.

The other three also looked at Wang Tian strangely. 'Monster!' they all thought to themselves.

'If a genius like this were to be nurtured and given at least a hundred years. He may very well become an existence that will strike fear into the hearts of the people!' Zhou Weiqing thought to himself.

Shu Mingzhu then looked at Wang Tian. 'What kind of monster did Blacksmith Wang raise?' she thought to herself.

"Huh? Are you done? Why are you tickling me? Are you sure that's what you want to do? Come on, I'll give you another chance. Come come kids, hit this grandfather of yours." Wang Tian said. Even his eyes weren't open. It wasn't strange after all. Wang Tian already experienced an attack that from a cultivator that was a million times more powerful than these three combined. Given that he was invincible, what he experienced also gave him a very high tolerance to pain. His cultivation was that of a Xiantian Lifeform but he clearly didn't know how or what should be the effects of getting hit by three experts whose cultivation realms were above him. He indeed felt tickled as the pain he felt from them was not even a tenth of the pain that he felt when he was attacker by the Second Lady. In fact, it was a disgrace to even mention them in the same breath even if they were just attacks! The power behind the two were like the difference of Heaven and Earth! Simply incomparable.

"Impossible!" The three shouted. They felt an ominous feeling inside their hearts rise. They gave it their all did they not? Why didn't this kid die? Has the world gone mad?

Old Third was the one who threw the punch. What shocked him was that he felt that Wang Tian's head was that of a gigantic wall. He felt like it would never break nor would it be cracked. The same went for the other two, they both felt like the part of Wang Tian that they attacked was a very solid and hard object. That no matter how much they tried to break it, it wouldn't.

They all attacked Wang Tian again and the results were the same. His reaction was the same. In fact, it was even exaggerated than the first one. Since this time, he didn't cough but only smiled!

"Mogui!" Old Sixth blurted out! Out of the three, he was the most shocked. He has experienced many things in his life but he has never ever encountered someone like Wang Tian! Someone who could just easily defend without even defending against the attacks of people who were a realm above him!

Wang Tian heard what Old Sixth said. His smile became even wider. 'Mogui huh? Written like (魔鬼) which means evil, devil or demon. It has a nice ring to it. Some elder called me that seven years ago. I didn't expect to hear it again now.' Wang Tian thought to himself.

"How are you still alive!? When you clearly are a Xiantian lifeform? Hm? That's right! You used a defensive talisman! Yes yes. I get it now! Haha Wang Tian you sly piece of shit! You dare use defensive talismans when the conditions we set forbid you to do so! The bet is now null and void! Hahahahah" Old Fourth laughed out loud and slandered Wang Tian.
