A Man Like None Other

Chapter 4467 What Is Going On
Though Suspine was evil, he wasn’t stupid.
“Listen up, everyone,” he called out to his fellow disciples. “This Kai is valuable. If we capture him and hand him over to the Demon Seal Alliance, we’ll be set for life. Let’s take him together. He’s only a Seventh Level Tribulator. With so many of us, there’s no way we can’t win!”
“Hold on,” one of the junior disciples interjected, his voice uncertain. “The Demon Seal Alliance sent Ultimate Realm Level Four cultivators after him, and they still couldn’t handle him. Are you sure we can pull it off?”
At these words, Kai quickly realized they were referring to Ruth, Seth, and his group from the other day. It hadn’t been long, yet they already knew about that group’s defeat. This meant they had some connection with the Demon Seal Alliance.
These individuals had likely played a role in betraying the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, possibly even helping disable the sect defense formation during the Demon Seal Alliance’s attack.
“He’s got to have help. There’s no way a Seventh-Level Tribulation could have beaten an Ultimate Realm Level Four cultivator. It’s impossible. We need to seize this chance while his backup isn’t around. Move quickly! If his help arrives, we’re in trouble,” Suspine urged, his voice sharp.

The disciples exchanged looks, seeing some truth in what Suspine had said. They quickly grabbed their fallen longswords and, in a coordinated rush, charged toward Kai.
Rather than stepping in to help, Suspine stood back and watched. He was clearly using his fellow disciples as a way to test Kai’s abilities.
Kai was indeed a Seventh Level Tribulator, but if he was pretending to be weaker than he was to catch them off guard, that would make things tricky.
So, Suspine stood back, manipulating his fellow disciples to fight while observing. His followers unleashed their full power, attacking with all their might as soon as they moved. After all, Kai had been the Demon Seal Alliance’s target for a century.
But Kai only smiled casually, sheathing his Dragonslayer Sword.
The attackers were all Tribulators, with the strongest being a Ninth Level Tribulator. Kai figured that pulling out his sword would be overkill. Dealing with these guys didn’t require it. He would handle them without disrespecting the weapon.
With a swift leap, Kai’s feet barely touched the ground before a wave of spiritual energy shot from his toes. The force tore through the air, shaking the space around him.
To Suspine, it seemed like a flashy show-off move. But regardless of how Kai appeared, he was up against Eighth and Ninth Level Tribulators. Even an Ultimate Realm Level One cultivator would struggle to remain so calm in such a situation.
If Kai wasn’t showing off, he’d be far more skilled than he had let on. The outcome of this fight was going to tell Suspine everything.
“What’s going on?”
The disciples charged at Kai, bewildered by his spiritual energy, which seemed so casual, as if he didn’t even consider them a threat.
Kai had the nerve to sheathe his sword, acting as though they weren’t worth his attention. Yet with a light tap of his foot, he unleashed a wave of spiritual energy.
