Chapter 727: Chapter 672 Great Bandit Wang Tian

The attack of the Old Saint was blocked, clearly among the bandits there were indeed Supreme Saints.

Four Great Bandit Half-Saints had already stepped back, bowing respectfully, their expressions extremely reverent.

At that very moment, from within the black storm, a figure strode out majestically, walking like a dragon and tiger, a tall middle-aged man with a vertical eye on his brow, which was closed, displaying immense strength, releasing a barrage of Saintly Might, confronting the Old Saint.

His appearance immediately caused many to cry out in surprise and even made the merchant group’s faces change color.

There was actually a Saint among the bandits, this truly spelled trouble.

Seeing the newcomer, the Old Saint’s expression changed drastically, growing more solemn, he slowly said, "So it’s you, Wang Tian!"

With that one statement, the color drained from the faces of everyone in the merchant group.

Just like Black Sky Plain had its Eight Great Bandits, Stealing Heaven Plain naturally had its leaders of Great Bandit level.

Like Wang Tian before them, with the vertical eye on his brow, he was ranked eighteenth among the Twenty-four Great Bandits of Stealing Heaven Plain, famous throughout Stealing Heaven Plain and even the Ten Thousand Domain Center, renowned far and wide.

The Old Saint had never imagined that this time he would provoke a formidable character like one of the Eight Bandits.

It was known that every Great Bandit on Stealing Heaven Plain was a super character with Divine Level means; naturally, they were no ordinary powerful figures.

Those who qualified to be among them were at least of Ancient Saint strength in the Fourth Layer Heaven of the Saintly Treasure Realm, quite powerful.

Even those ranked among the Thirteen Great Bandits were said to be of Saint Lord Level.

Rumors had it that the first two Great Bandits might even be Heavenly Kings.

Thus, one could see the terror of the Twenty-four Great Bandits of Stealing Heaven Plain, much more formidable than the Black Sky Eight Bandits, truly terrifying characters.

No wonder it’s rumored that the Eight Bandits of Black Sky were historically derived from Stealing Heaven Plain.

Although this Great Bandit, not being of Saint Master Level, was still of Ancient Saint Level, extremely strong and difficult to deal with.

Generally, characters of Great Bandit level wouldn’t make an easy appearance and would only remain hidden within Dark Night City, yet today, why had he appeared.

This puzzled many, especially since this area wasn’t truly the inner region of Stealing Heaven Plain, which was quite surprising.

Ye Chen furrowed his brows, looking at everything, his intuition told him that this Great Bandit’s reason for coming here was not simple; there must be something within the merchant group attracting him.

Although he was not a Saint Master Level character, he was still a person of Ancient Saint Level, very formidable and difficult to deal with.

Normally, such a Great Bandit would not easily appear, remaining hidden in Dark Night City instead, so why had he appeared today?

Many were mystified, especially as this area wasn’t even the real inner region of Stealing Heaven Plain—truly a surprising affair.

Ye Chen furrowed his brows, watching everything unfold, his intuition telling him that the reason this Great Bandit came here was not simple; there certainly was something within the merchant group that was drawing his attention.

This Great Bandit, strong and imposing even without anger, held a black long stick in his hand and spoke coldly, "Today, my demand is not excessive; just hand over that item, and everything can be settled, you could even leave Stealing Heaven Plain safely."

That item?

Many in the merchant group were immediately puzzled, looking at each other in confusion, none understanding what he meant by that item.

Ye Chen was also curious; what exactly was in the merchant group that would make a Great Bandit so concerned, definitely something extraordinary.

Wang Tian glanced at the crowd and snorted coldly, "If you don’t hand it over, don’t blame me for being ruthless, I’ll kill all of you and search each one of you thoroughly."

Everyone’s complexion changed, yet facing the notoriously ferocious Great Bandit, they naturally fell silent like cicadas in winter, but all looked towards the Old Saint, seeking help.

Here, everything was led by the Old Saint.

Naturally, the Old Saint’s expression turned cold, and he said indignantly, "Wang Tian, I don’t know what you are talking about, but aren’t you being unreasonably troublesome?"

"Unreasonably troublesome?" Wang Tian seemed to hear the most ludicrous joke, and immediately replied coldly, "Even if I, Wang Tian, am being unreasonable, what about it? Old man, I don’t want to make a move, but I don’t mind slaying a Saint. Do you really think you can stop me, Wang Tian?"

"It’s either a big fight or let me see if the so-called Thirteen Great Bandits of the Stealing Heaven Plain really deserve their reputation!"

The Old Saint was just as tough, showing no fear of the so-called Great Bandit. Despite his old age, his vigor was still powerful, as tumultuous as the sea, rumbling with every step he took, and shaking the heavens and the earth, displaying the imposing might of a Saint.

A swath of Heavenly Earth Power followed him, and in his hand appeared a purple-glowing long whip, like a dragon, with the head of the whip roaring majestically like a dragon’s head, roaring for three thousand miles.

"Today, I will kill you, old man!"

Wang Tian grasped a black staff, strode forward, and marched like thunder.

Boom—

The two Saints collided directly, initiating the most terrifying fierce battle.

When Saints confronted each other, it was always intensely fierce, shattering the heavens and clashing high above the clouds in a dreadful duel.

Neither the Old Saint nor Wang Tian was new to the realm of Saintly Treasure; both were veteran powerhouses who had been in this domain for many years, incredibly powerful. At this moment, as the needle met the wheat awn, they collided in full force.

They charged directly into the Heavenly Dome, not wanting to involve the people below, for even the stray threads of a Saint’s might were enough to annihilate swathes of strong fighters, not something to be taken lightly.

Meanwhile, the Merchant Group continued its fierce battle with the bandits. Divine Light splashed, and Principles intertwined, both appearing equally intense.

The top Saints from both sides soared into the sky to decide the battle, leaving behind the strongest among them, the Half-Saints.

Especially the confrontation between the Three Great Half-Saints and several Half-Saints of the bandits, even though one Half-Saint was injured by the Old Saint, there were still four Great Half-Saints firmly overpowering the Merchant Group, dealing a significant blow to their morale.

Each leader of the Mercenary Group was a Super Divinity Level powerhouse, currently holding off the top fighters among the bandits. However, facing the bandits, the Merchant Group mostly consisted of traders, who, although they possessed some cultivation, were not very high.

Ye Chen also took part in the battle, remaining calm and composed. He did not reveal his true Supreme Cultivation, not wanting to draw too much attention. He appropriately demonstrated his Divinity Transformation Sixth Layer Heaven cultivation, unleashing a strand of Divine Light Principle, directly annihilating several bandits in front of him.

He witnessed the entire battle situation, yet remained as immovable as a mountain.

The Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor even spoke up, "Little Moon, it’s best to infiltrate a bandit later and sneak deep into the Stealing Heaven Plain."

Ye Chen nodded. Though curious about the object Wang Tian mentioned, his main focus was primarily on the clandestine siege of Dark Night City.

As time went by, the bandit side gradually gained the upper hand, and many strong fighters from the Merchant Group began to show signs of a continuous retreat.

Moreover, in the midst of battle, one of the Merchant Group’s Three Great Half-Saints was brutally killed, blood splattering the sky, dying a gruesome death, exploding midair into pieces.
