After a moment of stunned silence, a large gap suddenly opened up in the direction Xiao Tian pointed, causing a commotion among the crowd.

However, Xiao Tian did not stop his "identifying" action and continued to point in another direction: "Did you see the person hiding behind the crowd, secretly laughing?"

"And that person with an expectant expression..."

As Xiao Tian kept changing directions, his finger seemed to be enchanted, wherever he pointed, the spectators would scatter like birds and beasts, appearing very panicked.

This chaos made Xiao Tian's image in the eyes of the crowd more fearsome, his ability to redirect disaster truly earned admiration.

If you provoke this man, who knows when you might be inexplicably killed!

And this was precisely Xiao Tian's goal, using the Hidden Needle to kill one as warning to others, to solidify his devilish image among the masters and let them know the consequence of provoking him is a dead end!

As for whether or not to remove the mask of the Hidden Needle, whether the Hidden Needle is male or female, these things don't matter much to Xiao Tian.

However, since the words had been spoken, Xiao Tian decided to follow through.

His right foot suddenly rose, instantly enveloped by full True Qi, and then he mercilessly stomped on the chest of the Hidden Needle, emitting the sound of bones cracking.

Without the protection and healing power of True Qi, the intense pain was unbearable for the Hidden Needle, who let out a sharp scream that sent chills down the spine of those who heard it.

The barely alive Hidden Needle finally stopped struggling, unable to move back step by step, quietly awaiting fate like a lamb to slaughter.

Xiao Tian's actions left some masters in the audience puzzled. Wasn't he going to take off the Hidden Needle's mask, allowing a glimpse of his true appearance?

Why the sudden attack instead?!

But for Xiao Tian, such questions posed no problem, because he said he would let everyone see the face beneath the Hidden Needle's mask, but he didn't say whether that would be alive or dead.

As long as they see it, it's fine!

Looking at the hand appearing in sight, gradually approaching his face, the Hidden Needle had already closed his eyes, stopping all futile resistance, while feeling respect for Xiao Tian's caution.

Perhaps the crowd didn't realize it, but as the victim, the Hidden Needle knew very clearly that Xiao Tian's seemingly casual kick instantly rendered his Dantian unable to operate for a short period.

In other words, now even detonating the Dantian True Qi and perishing together with the opponent was impossible!

As Xiao Tian's hand approached the Hidden Needle's mask, the masters in the audience couldn't help but widen their eyes, intensely focusing on the black mask, waiting for this historic moment to occur.

As witnesses, everyone felt a sense of pride, and the disappointment of not obtaining the Five Elements Crystal was somewhat alleviated.

However, at this moment, just as Xiao Tian's hand was about to touch the Hidden Needle's mask.

A sudden lightning flashed in the originally calm and cloudless sky, followed by thunderous rumbling like a drumbeat, reverberating as if ready to burst forth.

In the next moment, as a pure white figure appeared from afar, a terrifying thunderclap exploded, leaving everyone in a daze before clutching their ears.

The white silhouette, without pause after landing, first sent a violently fluctuating Energy Bullet towards Xiao Tian, then rushed disregarding everything towards the fallen Hidden Needle.

Xiao Tian frowned, feeling the berserk energy mass, and had no choice but to temporarily retreat, yet when the energy didn't harm Xiao Tian, it instantly exploded on its own.

Snowflakes flying in the sky obscured everyone's sight, but were quickly blown away by the wind, only to reveal a black and white silhouette flashing and disappearing in the distance.

Although the pure white figure appeared for less than half a minute, even masters who hadn't seen his face could deduce his identity.

Utilizing Thunder Power as an attack method, the pure white figure, coupled with the thunderbolt and exploding thunder by the ear, all pointed to a familiar figure—Thunder King Salon!

Stunned, the crowd looked at each other in bewilderment, their plan to witness a historic moment thwarted.

The Five Elements Crystal was not obtained either; was the purpose of their visit merely to be spectators?!

Among those present, except for those ranked high on the Dark List, the rest of the scattered masters were important figures whose mere coughs could cause seismic reactions in their territories.

No one would willingly be just a spectator, watching those stronger than themselves freely showcasing their abilities.

However, those who reached this place, aside from those solely dedicated to improving their power, were mostly intelligent individuals who wouldn't fail to comprehend such a simple issue!

No matter how unwilling, who dared to uphold this justice?!

Xiao Tian stood in place, although he just didn't take off the Hidden Needle's mask, the two vengeful gazes hidden behind the mask felt exceptionally real to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for not meeting expectations today, but I promise that soon I will deliver on my words and unveil the Hidden Needle's true identity to you!"

Xiao Tian said with a clasped fist: "If there's nothing else, then may everyone disperse!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into a dead silence, everyone quiet and waiting for someone to start moving so they could follow.

The crowd didn't respond, and Xiao Tian's clasped fist posture remained unchanged, causing a stalemate.

After a long period, Xiao Tian's brow furrowed, his lips slowly curving into a smile.

Everyone sensed something was wrong and hurriedly made their decisions, starting to take action.

An elderly master near fifty stood up and replied: "Hunter, today's affair ends today, I await the day you reveal the Hidden Needle's mask, when I will personally write to congratulate you on fulfilling your promise!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Xiao Tian smiled: "Alright!"

With a leader taking the initiative, others were unwilling to fall behind, bidding farewell and leaving, even those who remained silent reciprocated courtesy to Xiao Tian before quickly departing.

No matter how unwilling or reluctant, they couldn't deny the fear Xiao Tian instilled in them; staying longer wasn't beneficial and might even endanger their lives.

After more than half of the people dispersed, Xiao Tian lowered his hand and walked towards the Celestial Punishment Daoist, the smile on his face suddenly froze, then gradually disappeared.

Hidden Needle, next time, I will not let you escape!

At this moment, a timid voice sounded from behind, halting Xiao Tian's steps.

"Hello, Hunter!"

Xiao Tian paused and turned around, examining the woman in front of him, yet found he didn't seem to know her, so the purpose of calling him...
