2184 Arrogant!

"If you swear on the lightning penalty oath in front of everyone that you didn't order anyone to kill me when I was in the Fire Worship Sect three years ago, then, I'll forgive both of you!"

Duan Ling Tian's words echoed in Dong Yuan Jin's ears. Swear on the lightning oath that he did not order anyone to kill Duan Ling Tian three years ago? Colors drained from Dong Yuan Jin's face immediately.

Swear my ass!' Dong Yuan Jin thought to himself. If he swore on the lightning penalty oath, the retribution from the lightning penalty would kill him on the spot! It was fine to deceive the people in the surroundings with a few cleverly phrased sentences, but swearing on the lighting penalty oath was not a joke. At this moment, he felt as though he had dug his own grave.

Dong Yuan Jin had said so many words earlier to make himself seem righteous and to elicit pity from the crowd. However, Duan Ling Tian's words had effectively placed him back in square one. Not only that, but Duan Ling Tian had mercilessly destroyed all his lies with just a few words.

"Why? You don't dare to swear on the lighting penalty oath?" It seemed like Duan Ling Tian would not let this matter go. He continued to ridicule Dong Yuan Jin, "Could it be that you're feeling guilty now, Vice Hall Master Dong?"

Dong Yuan Jin could not find any words to refute Duan Ling Tian. What could he say? Tell everyone he was trying to deceive them and everything he said was a lie? He knew Duan Ling Tian had come today to seek revenge from him since he had expended so much effort to try and kill Duan Ling Tian.

"Huh? Vice Hall Master Dong seems afraid to swear on the lighting penalty oath?" Many people were stunned when they saw Dong Yuan Jin had remained silent.

"Didn't he say the dispute between Duan Ling Tian and his son, Dong Lin, was only a small matter? He also said he didn't think of seeking revenge at all... Why is he afraid to swear on the lighting penalty now?" A few people were baffled.

"Are all of you stupid? Can't you tell he was only trying to deceive us? He only wanted the moral high ground so he can gain our support. He was trying to use us to condemn Duan Ling Tian!" There were people who knew what was going on.

More and more people began to discuss among themselves.

"Is that so? To think that I believed him when he's only trying to use us!"

"Vice Hall Master Dong has crossed the line!"

"So Vice Hall Master Dong has ordered people to kill Duan Ling Tian before! No wonder once Duan Ling Tian has grown strong, he barged into the Enforcement Hall and demanded Vice Hall Master Dong to come out!"

"If I were Duan Ling Tian, I'd do the same thing too! After all, the other person tried to kill me before!"

After seeing Dong Yuan Jin had no intention of swearing on the lightning penalty oath, most people began to realize they had been fooled by him. Once again, the public opinion changed, and people began to support Duan Ling Tian.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian did not care if they supported him or not. He had asked Dong Yuan Jin to swear on the lightning penalty oath because he was annoyed when he saw Dong Yuan Jin standing on the moral high ground. He did not care what other people thought of him.

"Duan Ling Tian, who do you think you are to ask my father to swear on the lightning penalty oath?" Dong Lin said arrogantly as he glared at Duan Ling Tian.

Based on Dong Lin's words, it was obvious he was unaware of the precarious situation he was in.

On the other hand, Dong Yuan Jin was at a loss. He did not know what he should do. When he heard Dong Lin's words, he quickly said, "Lin'er!" His heart rate began to spike. He could hear the impatience in Duan Ling Tian's voice when he had asked him to swear on the lighting penalty oath earlier. It seemed like Duan Ling Tian's patience was almost at its limit.

Duan Ling Tian frowned at Dong Lin and said impatiently, "Shut up!" After that, with a casual wave of his hand, a terrifying energy surged out of his hand in the form of a dragon that charged at Dong Lin at lightning speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A deafening explosion sounded in the wake of the dragon. In just a blink of an eye, the dragon landed on Dong Lin.

Dong Yuan Jin snapped back to reality and cried out in sorrow, "No!" He charged out immediately in an attempt to save his son. He was only halfway there when the dragon formed from energy swallowed Dong Lin.

Bang!

The sound of an explosion rang in the air as blood mist appeared in the sky. The dragon that was formed from energy vanished without a trace. In fact, Dong Lin had also disappeared.

After a moment, everyone on the scene began to gasp one after another.

Duan Ling Tian had killed another person with just a casual wave of his hand!

When the people in the surroundings looked at Duan Ling Tian again, hints of terror and dread could be seen in their eyes.

"Fortunately, he didn't intend to kill me..." When Jiang Qin saw how easily Duan Ling Tian had killed Dong Lin just because he was displeased, he felt extremely lucky. Moreover, he also heard about how Duan Ling Tian had killed Elder Yang.

"DUAN LING TIAN!" Dong Yuan Jin bellowed after he let out a primitive howl when he saw his son being killed by Duan Ling Tian. His eyes were red and killing intent rose from his body.

Dong Yuan Jin's voice sent chills running up people's spines.

Duan Ling Tian was about to kill Dong Yuan Jin as well when suddenly...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of wind blowing resounded in the air accompanied by a strong wind that blew in the forbidden area of the Enforcement Hall. At the same time, a wave of domineering aura swept out.

Most people present on the scene were familiar with this aura.

"It's Lord Hall Master!"

Many people's eyes lit up immediately.

"H-has Lord Hall Master broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?" Jiang Qin, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, was at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Therefore, he could sense the changes in Leng Ying's aura. It seemed as though Leng Ying's aura had gotten a level stronger.

Leng Ying was originally a powerhouse at the peak of the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. If he had broken through, this meant his cultivation base was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

Jiang Qin was certain that Dong Yuan Jin, also a Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, who was stronger than him had also noticed this.

"Lord Hall Master!"

"Lord Hall Master!"

Dong Yuan Jin calmed down as he tried to suppress the anger in his heart. 'With my strength, there's no way I'll be able to seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian. I have no choice but to rely on Lord Hall Master!' Dong Yuan Jin thought to himself.

Dong Yuan Jin felt as though he found his savior when he discovered that Leng Ying had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He quickly said, "Lord Hall Master! Not only did Duan Ling Tian trespass on the Enforcement Hall, but he even came to the forbidden area and killed an Enforcement Hall elder! Lord Hall Master, please give justice to the Enforcement Hall!" His voice that contained Saint Origin spread far and wide.

Dong Yuan Jin's spread in the forbidden area before it spread out to the rest of the Enforcement Hall.

"Duan Ling Tian trespassed on the Enforcement Hall?"

"Not only that, but he has also gone to the forbidden area and killed an Enforcement Hall elder?"

"How arrogant!"

"This voice sounds familiar. It's Vice Hall Master Dong, right?"

Everyone in the Enforcement Hall broke out in an uproar. Although many of them wanted to go to the forbidden area, they knew the rules forbade them from going there. They felt unwilling but there was nothing they could do.

"Don't tell me Duan Ling Tian thinks the Enforcement Hall is like the White Tiger Sanctum..."

"Perhaps, he thinks Lord Hall Master is as weak as the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum?"

"That's possible!"

Hurmph! Lord Hall Master is not someone the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum can compare to! Lord Hall

Master can easily defeat the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum he wants to!1

Similar discussions could be heard in the Enforcement Hall. Based on the elders and disciples’ words, it was obvious they were confident about the Hall Master's strength.

In the Enforcement Hall's forbidden area.

"Do you think you're safe now that Hall Master Leng Ying is here?" Duan Ling Tian looked at Dong Yuan Jin with a sneer on his face. "Since you feel that way, I'll give you a chance. I won't kill you now. I'll kill you only when Hall Master Leng Ying arrives!" He wanted to let Dong Yuan Jin know the meaning of despair!

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, Dong Yuan Jin began to feel uneasy again.

An angry voice sounded from below the sky in the forbidden area of the Enforcement Hall, "How arrogant!"
