2492 Squished To Death

A complicated expression appeared on the face of the patriarch of the dragon clan. If the woman did not appear, he would have dismissed Duan Ling Tian's words. He would even mock Duan Ling Tian for his hubris. However, when he saw that the woman was most likely a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial as well, he began to take Duan Ling Tian's words seriously. After a while, he said to Ke'er politely, "Madam, we're not acquainted prior to this. I hope you won't get involved in the matter between Duan Ling Tian and me."

However, Ke'er ignored him again.

Upon seeing this, the patriarch of the dragon clan's expression changed, but he tried to suppress his anger. After all, he thought Ke'er was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in possession of a Celestial Supreme Treasure. With the Supreme Treasure, her strength would be comparable to a Golden Celestial in the Devata Realms.

Upon hearing the patriarch of the dragon clan's words, the members of the dragon clan broke out in a discussion again.

"This..."

"Based on Lord Patriarch's words, it seems like this woman poses a threat to him..."

"It seems like Lord Patriarch is worried about this woman joining forces with Duan Ling Tian… She must be a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Otherwise, Lord Patriarch wouldn't act in such a manner!"

Previously, they were not 100% convinced that Duan Ling Tian was telling the truth when he said he was only testing their patriarch's honesty. However, after seeing the patriarch's behavior, they realized Duan Ling Tian was not bluffing earlier.

"If Duan Ling Tian and this woman join forces, they might be able to kill Lord Patriarch. If they decide to attack our clan as well, it'll be disastrous!"

"It seems like we have no choice but to be happy even if Duan Ling Tian and this woman kills Lord Patriarch as long as they spare our clan. Thankfully, Lord Patriarch didn't renege on his words and insist on annihilating the Seven Absolutes Sect."

"Indeed."

Some of the members of the dragon clan, including the two Supreme Elders, were relieved. Whether Duan Ling Tian and this woman would be able to kill their patriarch or not, at least, they knew they would be spared.

The patriarch of the dragon clan's words amused Duan Ling Tian. He asked, "Do you know what relations I have with her?"

Upon hearing this, the patriarch of the dragon clan discovered that the woman was looking at Duan Ling Tian so affectionately as though she was looking at the love of her life. His expression changed drastically as an ominous feeling rose in his heart.

"She's my wife!" Duan Ling Tian revealed his relationship with Ke'er to everyone in the dragon clan.

Naturally, the members of the dragon clan, including the patriarch, were shocked by Duan Ling Tian's words. For a long time, they were rendered speechless.

The members of the dragon clan were still reeling in shock when Ke'er moved between Duan Ling Tian and the patriarch of the dragon clan. Her eyes flashed coldly as she looked at the patriarch. She moved her jade-like hands slightly from beneath her sleeves. As soon as she moved her hands, a gust of wind began to blow violently around her as terrifying tears appeared in the void. She did not seem affected at all as she stood in the eye of the hurricane.

The patriarch of the dragon clan who had just regained his senses seemed to have noticed something, and his expression changed dramatically. He cried out, "No!" Just a second ago, he still had the bearing and majesty of a patriarch of the dragon clan, but currently, his face was filled with fear. He stood rooted to his spot. Naturally, it was not because he did not want to move. He had discovered that he could not move at all. It felt as though his body was made of lead. He could clearly feel a terrifying energy restraining his massive body. Even after he struggled with all his might and reverted to his true form, he still could not free himself. His body was only a useless vessel at this moment. He could only watch in horror as Ke'er slowly fisted her hand. This woman who possessed such otherworldly beauty seemed like death-reincarnate to him at this moment.

The patriarch of the dragon clan's eyes widened suddenly as a thought appeared in his mind. He had completely lost the dignity of a patriarch of the dragon clan as he cried out, "Y-you're a Celestial! You're a Celestial from a Devata Realm!"

When the members of the dragon clan heard their patriarch's frightened cries, they trembled in fear. Their eyes were filled with trepidation and confusion when they turned to look at Ke'er. If they did not personally witness their patriarch's fear of this woman even after he had reverted to his true form, they would have a difficult time believing this.

"A Celestial?!"

"A Celestial? Did I hear wrongly? Lord Patriarch says she's a Celestial?!"

"A Celestial should be in the Devata Realms, right? Why is she here?"

At this moment, Ke'er's hand was completely fisted.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang in the air, shaking the ground. It felt as though the ground was about the split.

Soon after, everyone saw a huge palm print appearing next to their patriarch. The palm was slim, and upon closer inspection, one would be able to see the palm print was a huge replica of Ke'er's palm. This palm that appeared out of thin air was a few hundred thousands of meters in length and width, it covered the sky completely.

Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, was shocked.

Duan Ling Tian asked, "Ke'er, what technique is this?" He could clearly see the tears in the void that the palm left in its wake.

Soon after, a cry laden with despair and regret resounded in the air. "No!"

Duan Ling Tian saw the palm that had formed in the air grasp the patriarch of the dragon clan before squashing him to death.

The patriarch of the dragon clan's aura disappeared immediately as soon as he died.

Faced with the palm that was more than a few hundred thousands of meters in length and width, the patriarch of the dragon clan's true form, an Eight-clawed Golden Dragon, was just like an eel.

Everyone had only heard the patriarch's cry after his death since light traveled faster than sound.

The entire place was deathly silent at this moment.

Even Duan Ling Tian was stunned speechless. Although he knew Ke'er was capable of killing the patriarch, he did not expect her to cast a technique that directly squashed the patriarch to death.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Elders of the dragon clan who finally regained their senses still had a trace of shock and fear lingering on their faces. They were so frightened that they had even forgotten to mourn the death of their patriarch.

"This… This is insane!"
