Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Five Directions Fist was created by Wu Tian and later given to five powers. Each variant of the Five Directions Fist had its own marvelous use. The White Emperor Fist, for example, could make a person reveal their deepest secrets.

Once Wu Tian unleashed this fist, the Giant Snail and the Sea Snake felt as if they were facing a violent storm. The wind and rain were so ferocious they could only sway amidst the tempest. At the same time, under the influence of the fist, their minds were like tiny boats tossed about on a vast ocean. Finally, the boats were swallowed by the sea.

"Tell me what you were really thinking," Wu Tian demanded, his voice like a booming bell, like thunder from the Nine Heavens striking directly into their souls.

The Giant Snail and the Sea Snake were fully conscious, yet their mouths spoke against their will. This was far more terrifying than the Soul Capturing Technique because it could make you say exactly what the other party wanted to hear—something the Soul Capturing Technique could not do.

"I... I wanted my son, Little Snail, to win the championship! We are the Monster Race, and an Array Master from our race is the most powerful! Long live the Monster Race!"

"That’s right! Long live the Monster Race! The Human Clan and everyone else must lose to us. I had to nitpick. I had to make this child lose the championship."

Their words stunned the crowd. So this was the reason they had so vehemently insisted the little one had poor moral character. In the audience, a chorus of condemnation rose against the Giant Snail and the Sea Snake.

"This is outrageous!"

"How could they do that?"

"As judges, their actions are utterly shameless!"

Su Peng sighed at the sight. I thought they were doing this for me and my son Su Kai. Here I am, perfectly fine, while they’re being cursed out. He felt a pang of guilt and couldn’t help but speak up. "Everyone, please, a bit less of that."

"You see, this man is an idiot!" the Giant Snail exclaimed, his eyes filled with panic but his body acting against his will. He pointed at Su Peng and shouted to the tens of thousands in the audience. "This idiot bribed me and Brother Sea Snake with a hefty sum of gold! That’s right, the gold we used to forge a golden pen and ink for my son came from this very Su Peng!"

"This Su Peng is so stupid," the Sea Snake also couldn’t help but snicker. "He asked us to rig the friendly competition and give the championship to Su Kai. Heh heh, little did he know he was being played by us all along. He and his foolish son actually thought they could cheat their way to victory! Heh heh, what a joke. The biggest joke of all! HAHAHA..."

The Giant Snail and the Sea Snake continued to mock uncontrollably, throwing their heads back in arrogant laughter.

"You..." Su Peng’s face turned livid with rage. He had been deceived; the Giant Snail and the Sea Snake had simply used him as a fool.

The audience hadn’t expected such a drama to unfold. Jeers erupted from every corner of the audience.

"Su Peng and his son really are foolish."

"As a member of the Human Clan, to be deceived by a snail and a snake... he’s a disgrace to us all!"

Su Kai’s face twitched. Some people cherish freedom more than life itself, and others a beautiful woman, but for Su Kai, his reputation was everything. He had initially refused to cheat precisely because he feared his reputation would be tarnished. He had only agreed after his father’s repeated assurances. But what now? His reputation was ruined anyway.

"Dad, you said... You told me to trust you! You said there would be no problem and that I would be the champion!" At that moment, Su Kai’s world seemed to collapse as he roared at Su Peng.

Su Peng dearly loved this son. The only reason he had wanted to cheat and rig the competition was so his son could become the chairman of the Array Master Guild. "I don’t know why this happened, I really don’t know..." Su Peng wept, unable to face his son.

At this moment, the Giant Snail and the Sea Snake finally regained control of themselves, but their faces were masks of terror. It was over. They knew everything was over.

"It’s time to end this," Wu Tian said suddenly with a cold smile.

He raised his palm, and a saber materialized above it. This was the Blood-Transforming God Saber, another treasure Wu Tian had found in the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure House. Legend had it that this saber flashed like lightning, and anyone struck by its blade would die in an instant. In the Mythical World, when King Zhou’s general Yu Hua descended from the mountain for the second time to block King Wu’s army, he used the Blood-Transforming God Saber to wound first Nezha, and then Lei Zhenzi. Only Yang Jian, wielding the Eighty-Nine Mystical Techniques, was able to withstand the blade.

Now, as the Blood-Transforming God Saber appeared, the very air surged with Blood Qi.

"You dared to plot against my daughter, to cause her such grief. If you don’t die, who will?" Wu Tian said coldly, his gaze sweeping over the Giant Snail, the Sea Snake, Su Peng, and Su Kai.

His daughter was his reverse scale. Like a dragon’s reverse scale, to touch it meant certain death. His daughter... aside from himself and Qin Yuhan, no one was allowed to bully her.

Feeling the terrifying power emanating from the Blood-Transforming God Saber in Wu Tian’s hand, they understood the gravity of their situation and immediately began to beg for mercy.

"No, please don’t! I... I declare your daughter the champion!"

"Yes, we were wrong! We declare your daughter the champion, and we apologize to her!"

"Yes, we’ll apologize sincerely!"

"Apologize? What good is that?" Wu Tian sneered, wasting no more words. He flung the Blood-Transforming God Saber. It transformed into a streak of blood-red lightning, impossibly fast, and slashed across the Giant Snail, the Sea Snake, Su Peng, and Su Kai, leaving wounds on each of them.

They froze, looking down at their injuries—on their arms, the backs of their hands, their thighs, their chests. The cuts were shallow, like scratches one might get from itching too hard. Such superficial wounds weren’t lethal. The four of them breathed a collective sigh of relief, thinking Wu Tian hadn’t intended to kill them. As the thought crossed their minds, they believed they understood why. This was a public venue, after all. Surely, Wu Tian couldn’t commit murder here!

"Fools," Wu Tian mocked with a laugh upon seeing their reactions.

They had no idea. This Blood-Transforming God Saber was a creation of the immortal Yu Yuan, tempered for many years in a Pill Furnace with Samadhi True Fire. The Supreme Treasure contained the profound mysteries of Yin and Yang. When wielded with an immortal’s Spiritual Energy, its power was limitless. Once drawn, the saber didn’t need to sever a head. A mere touch on the opponent’s flesh and blood was enough to attack their Primordial Spirit. And contact meant certain death!

"Thank you, Wu Tian." The Giant Snail, the Sea Snake, Su Peng, and Su Kai all bowed toward Wu Tian.

But that wasn’t what they were thinking. Wu Tian, oh, Wu Tian! You spared our lives today, but you’ve utterly destroyed our reputations. This grudge is set in stone!

Just as they had this thought—

"AHHH!"

The four of them suddenly felt an excruciating pain originating from deep within their souls. With a bloodcurdling scream, all four of them died.

Seeing this, the little one walked up and said with a smile, "Dad, this saber is pretty cool. Why not give it to me?"

Wu Tian replied with a serious expression, "No."

Rejected by her father, the little one put on a wronged expression again. This is my weapon... I feel so wronged. If acting wronged doesn’t work, I’ll cry. There’s no way Dad won’t give in then.

Wu Tian sighed and said gently, "Don’t worry, I’ll give you another Supreme Treasure later. It will be no less powerful than this Blood-Transforming God Saber."
