The Way of The Dao

Ling Tian quickly arrived on the battlefield and stood watching.

Yes, he didn't help right away. He was thinking about something, therefore he couldn't help but stop.

"Shit... If I show myself, more people will know me and recognize me once I enter the city..."

Ling Tian was worried that he would be recognized once he walked through the city. He didn't want to have to face those annoying problems every time they saw him.

"If I cast an invisibility spell on myself, they might think it's a paranormal phenomenon by seeing the demon beasts die strangely and alert the whole city. I'm sure that Long Cheng would double the security of Star City. Even he would be able to connect me to this matter and think I'm in the city, so he'd start looking for me...

If I send my sword only to get rid of the demon beasts, it will be the same result... Long Cheng will know that it is me absolutely...

Ha! Anything I do will inevitably bring me trouble in the future."

Sigh.

Ling Tian just wanted to turn around and leave. He didn't want to be involved in troubled affairs.

"Wait..."

Ling Tian remembered and searched his space ring.

He pulled out a mask that looked like a dragon's face. Its structure was exquisite and the color was a deep red, similar to the scales of fire dragons. It covered the face completely, so they could not tell if it was a young man or an adult.

Ling Tian held the mask in his hands when the memories of that time in the immortal world began to pass through his mind.

"Dragon King of the Crown... huh? ..."

He muttered when he remembered the nickname he earned by always wearing this mask. The corner of his lip rose slightly, revealing a weak smile.

"At least if I hide my face, people won't know who I am, and they won't look for me. Even if this City Lord relates it to me, I am sure that he has only spoken about me to the important people in the city and not to the entire population. With this, I could buy myself more time of peace... before I find a way back to the Immortal World."

Ling Tian put the mask on his face and decided to go out and help.

He realized that they were slowly starting to fall in the battle.

Just when he was about to move, he noticed the movement of the two men protecting the group.

"They seem to have a good formation. It takes years of practice and good experience to understand each other too."

Ling Tian watched the movements they made. Though they managed to balance the scales, he knew that they would only last a few seconds before succumbing to the wave of demonic beasts.

"Huh?"

Ling Tian noticed a young man who suddenly left the group and faced a demon beast at the Fourth Stage of Chi Gathering. The young man was at that stage as well.

The demon beast was not on guard and received a cut from the young man's sword. Trying to escape, the young man inserted his sword into its head and the demon beast died.

Ling Tian could clearly see the conceited, arrogant smile on the young man's face as he killed the beast and he could guess more or less what he was feeling.

Ling Tian shook his head.

He immediately noticed when the young man suddenly ran to another demon beast.

Unfortunately, this time, he chose a demon beast in the Fifth Stage of Chi Gathering.

Clank!

The young man backed up and hit the ground when the demon beast attacked.

Ling Tian disappeared from where he was.

"Ahhh!"

Screams were heard as the demon beast jumped at Zhang Bing with the intention of killing him.

Slash!

Ling Tian appeared suddenly behind the demon beast, cutting it in half with his sword and locking it up with his aura, preventing it from advancing on the young man.

Crack

The demon beast broke in half and fell.

Ling Tian looked weakly at the young man who was shaking with fear.

Soon, he began to move toward the demon beasts that were about to kill others.

Swoosh!

Slash!

Slash!

Bump!

Slash!

Crack!

Fwoosh!

Slash!

Ling Tian moved exceptionally fast, cutting down and decapitating the demon beasts.

A single cut from his sword instantly killed the demon beasts in his path.

The people around stopped defending themselves while watching in a daze as the demon beasts were easily killed by that mysterious person.

In less than 20 seconds, all the demonic beasts except the four Peantre panthers were annihilated by Ling Tian.

Even the demon beasts that hindered the Zhang family elders were easily eliminated by Ling Tian.

Ling Tian stopped when he finished with the horde by himself, while he looked weakly at the demon beasts in the Sixth Stage of Chi Gathering.

Ling Tian looked around. There was no body, so no one had died. There were only wounded.

Ling Tian began to walk towards the four remaining demon beasts.

GRRR!

GROAR!

"Watch out!"

One of the elders shouted as he saw the four demon beasts together heading towards Ling Tian.

Fwoosh!

Ling Tian dodged the claw that came from a demon beast and immediately threw a clean cut, decapitating the demon beast.

Another demon beast came from the other side and tried to bite him. He sent a cut forming a sword with his immortal essence, while piercing the head of the demon beast and exploding it.

The two remaining demon beasts used their tails to hurt Ling Tian.

Swoosh!

He disappeared from the scene instantly.

Slash!

Immediately, he appeared behind the two demon beasts.

The two demon beast, having been wounded numerous times by Ling Tian, finally succumbed and died. Their bodies became mincemeat from Ling Tian's cuts.

Ling Tian only faintly observed those demon beasts.

For him, those demon beasts did not enter his eyes. He could easily kill them.

Everyone was astonished to witness such a shocking event. No one could believe it. They thought it was a dream or an imagination.

Who was this mysterious person wearing a dragon-shaped mask?

Ling Tian looked around at the adults who were still dazed, hesitating for a moment before saying, "I don't know if she is related to you, but I just saved a young woman in the forest. She's fine, so don't worry."

Ling Tian turned to look in another direction, observing what was happening there, so he left immediately.

Zhang Jinshian, Zhang Hai, Zhang Xie and Zhang Li came out of their daze at hearing what Ling Tian said.

The young miss!

Zhang Xie and Zhang Li nodded to the two elders, indicating that they would go to find Zhang Xinya. They had to make sure she was completely safe.

Just when they wanted to thank the benefactor who saved them, he suddenly disappeared from the scene.

What?!

Again, everyone was stunned to see that the mysterious person instantly disappeared from the scene.

Zhang Xie and Zhang Li quickly came out of their commotion and flew off to look for Zhang Xinya.

Everyone was still in a daze. They could not believe that it was all over suddenly. They thought they were going to die without a doubt.

Who was he?!

Was he a powerful Emperor rank?!

How could he disappear without anyone noticing?!

Endless questions began to be asked inside everyone's mind.

This day they could never forget.

The day they almost died from a horde of demon beasts.

The day when a mysterious person suddenly appeared and saved them, killing the entire demon horde himself, cutting everything in his path with his sword in his hand.

That mysterious person who appeared and disappeared from nowhere, as if he were an envoy from the Heavens.
