Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior

Feeling the imposing aura coming from the direction of the Commandery City, the murderous flow of light from Bai Jiao Mountain stalled for a moment.

Tao Shengjiang, burning with anger in his chest, looked down.

He saw a brilliant red stream of light breaking through the oppressive city-destroying clouds, in which there was a tall and straight young figure, appearing to be no more than twenty years old.

The face was ordinary, but the eyes were as deep as the night, calm like an ancient well, and Tao Shengjiang even saw a hint of long-repressed anticipation in those beautiful eyes.

What is he anticipating?

Anticipating my arrival...

Is this child insane?!

The powerful spiritual force of a Great Cultivator greatly surpasses that of ordinary people, and in an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Tao Shengjiang's mind.

In the end, he personally crushed each thought, leaving only one, and from it, he sensed something extraordinary.

Something is not right!

Although he had not personally witnessed the Donglai competition, he had already learned from Tao Yang and several elders of the Tao Family about all of Wang Chan's actions.

It can be said that Wang Chan possesses a composure and deep strategy far exceeding that of his peers.

Moreover, this vile character is extremely calm; otherwise, Tao Jidong would not have been led step-by-step into the carefully prepared trap by this youngster, ending with his bones gone and an unpeaceful death.

After the competition, this child, having convinced the Li Family madman to help him escape Bai Jiao Mountain, had a great opportunity to escape, yet chose to return to the Commandery City to kill his grandson.

Why exactly is this?

Instantly, Tao Shengjiang felt a slight prickling on his scalp, as if a thunderous power was surging.

Sometimes, the most timid and life-cherishing are not ordinary people, but often those seen as 'Immortals' by ordinary Great Yan citizens, the powerful cultivators.

The stronger and longer-lived the cultivator, the more they cherish their lives.

At this moment, this innate sense of crisis instinctively calmed even the furious Tao Shengjiang by three points, as in his eyes, no matter how close the offspring, nothing was more important than his own safety.

His eyes flashed with silver light, utilizing powerful spiritual force to deploy a secret technique to probe Su Mu and the surrounding area within a few dozen miles.

"Not right, nothing abnormal..."

"The suspected Martial Arts Grandmaster is also not by this kid's side, but why does this vile character dare to face me directly?!"

Who gave Wang Chan the courage?

Tao Shengjiang wanted to see the answer on Wang Chan's face, but unfortunately, the latter remained calm throughout, and that anticipation was growing hotter.

"What, what is that?!"

Suddenly, a soldier on the Commandery City's wall had a drastic change in expression and exclaimed, and this scene did not happen to just one person, but simultaneously.

"Rumble——!"

The sound of surging waves came from high above, and the soldiers looked up, witnessing an unforgettable scene.

The dark clouds that covered the sky burst open with overwhelming force, churning into enormous waves several yards and dozens of yards high, crashing towards the red stream of light that had just emerged from the Commandery City.

That was Tao Shengjiang's Grandmaster's Force Field; with doubts in his heart, he did not choose to let the 'seeking death' Wang Chan come closer.

The massive oppressive force descended from the sky, causing many soldiers at the city head to tremble, and not a few directly knelt in terror.

The next moment.

White light erupted from the black clouds, followed by a resounding dragon roar shaking the sky.

A white force field about a foot in diameter unfolded, appearing insignificant within the rolling clouds, yet it stood firm and unmoving amidst the towering waves.

"Long Wei? Did this child really gain the opportunity at Bai Jiao Mountain, is this his confidence?"

"Strange... there's also the aura of a Life Character!"

Buzz!

A touch of blood light suddenly spread within the white light, and Tao Shengjiang sensed the resonance from his bloodline, his face suddenly turning ice-cold, murderous intent surging.

"This Blood Seal... so it's you, so it's you!"

Tao Shengjiang's eyes were icy cold, but deep within them flashed even deeper apprehension as a Knowing Destiny Confucian Cultivator, an Arhat Realm Buddhist Cultivator, and a suspected Martial Arts Grandmaster had successively protected Su Mu.

The background of this person must be significant.

This vile character must die today, or he will become a threat to the Tao Family.

Sensing Su Mu's direct release of the suppression on the Blood Seal, the Fire Sparrow Wings dragging a long tail of flames crossed the surging black waves, Tao Shengjiang's eyes were chillingly cold.

"Alright, since hell has no gate you insist on entering... I spared your life before, so today it ends here."

Tao Shengjiang's eyes flickered, and with a wave.

Six dark blue beads floated in the air, in an instant the Water Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth surged wildly, gathering from all directions towards the six dark blue beads, a series of blue figures made of pure Water Spiritual Qi emerged in front of him.

A total of six water spirits rapidly coalesced, each one containing a powerful aura, none inferior to Tao Xinglie or Song Jingyuan,

The Power of Heaven and Earth followed at every gesture, casting spirits as soldiers.

Su Mu's eyes were burning, clearly in a life-and-death battle, yet it gave him the illusion as if he were fighting against a piece of heaven and earth.

At the moment the six water spirits coagulated, their forms turned to water in an instant, merging into the dense Water Spiritual Qi like ghosts, turning into six virtually invisible shadows attacking the red stream of light from different directions.

"Huh, Tao Shengjiang didn't directly attack, it seems he wants to kill this child slowly to vent his anger?"

"The Water Pearls are condensed from the essence of the Donglai River extracted by the Tao Family using ancestral secret techniques, each water spirit in Tao Shengjiang's hands, if separated, would only be at the early Fourth Grade..."
