The finely-dressed young man's nose flared in anger as though he was going to breathe out fire when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. "What did you say?! You dare to call me a dog? I, Tang Zhen Bao, have never been humiliated in such a way in my entire life!"
The finely-dressed young man, Tang Zhen Bao, glared at Duan Ling Tian balefully before he said to the men standing behind him impatiently, "What are you waiting for? Kill him! Kill him now!"
As soon as Tang Zhen Bao was done with his tirade, the middle-aged man and the old man said unison, "Yes, Young Master."
The two men were about to attack when Tang Xiao Xiao who wore a dark expression on her face said coldly, "He's my man. If you dare attack him, I'll kill both of you. You should know I'm more than capable of that."
The two men's expressions changed when they heard Tang Xiao Xiao's words. At the same time, they quickly retreated and withdrew their energies. After all, they would die if she really decided to kill them. Not only was she the strongest person among the younger generation in Tang Sect, but she was also greatly favored by one of the Supreme Elders of Tang Sect. Even if she was no match for them, the Supreme Elder would definitely help her as long as she asked this of him. Although their master was a descendant of the other Supreme Elder, the Supreme Elder would not openly oppose another Supreme Elder for their sake,
When Tang Zhen Bao saw his two followers' hesitation due to Tang Xiao Xiao's threat, he threatened them as well, "If you don't do as I say, you'll definitely die!" These two men were his followers. When he saw them hesitating due to Tang Xiao Xiao's threat, he felt even more humiliated. How could he let this matter go?
The two men's expressions changed again. At this point, they had no choice but to attack. Regardless, they would have to offend one of the two parties. In that case, it was better for them to listen to their master. Perhaps, they might be able to stay alive this way.
The old man looked at Duan Ling Tian as he said to the middle-aged man, "Stop her. I'll kill the boy toy!" As soon as he finished speaking, he charged toward Duan Ling Tian.
The middle-aged man nodded before he said to Tang Xiao Xiao, "I'm sorry, Miss Xiao Xiao!" He moved next to her, intending to stop her, so his companion could kill Duan Ling Tian.
"Two Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials?" Duan Ling Tian easily discovered the two men's cultivation bases when they made a move.
"Seeking death!" Tang Xiao Xiao said in anger when she saw Tang Zhen Bao's followers making a move despite her warning. She waved her hand and a dagger materialized in her hand. When she sent her energy into the dagger, the dagger began to emit a blindingly bright light. Its aura was terrifying!
Although the old man was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he did not notice Tang Xiao Xiao since his attention was focused on Duan Ling Tian. After all, he did not know Tang Xiao Xiao who possessed a Celestial Supreme Treasure was now as strong as a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. For this reason, her dagger was only a foot away from him when he finally noticed her!
"No!" The old man cried out. It was too late by the time he noticed Tang Xiao Xiao. Put aside the fact that Tang Xiao Xiao's strength was currently comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, even if her strength was still at the level of a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, it would still be difficult for him to avoid the strike.
Tang Xiao Xiao's dagger stabbed the old man's glabella, and he died instantly. After killing the old man, her expression turned even colder. Suddenly, she threw the dagger out in a strange manner.
Whoosh!
The dagger flew toward the middle-aged man charging at Tang Xiao Xiao. He was thoroughly shocked when he saw her killing his companion in just a blink of an eye. He wondered how she had done it? At most, her strength was on par with theirs. How did she cast such a powerful strike? When realization dawned on him, he cried out, "Celestial Supreme Treasure!" He discovered how extraordinary the dagger was when she threw it at him. Similar to his companion, the dagger stabbed his glabella.
Tang Xiao Xiao killed two Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in just a blink of an eye!
'Apart from being a hidden weapon technique, the Celestial Technique that Tang Xiao Xiao mastered doubled as a hand-to-hand combat technique?' Duan Ling Tian could clearly see through the technique Tang Xiao Xiao used.
When the dagger returned to Tang Xiao Xiao's hand, Tang Zhen Bao finally regained his senses. Greed was the prominent emotion in his eyes as he stared at her. "Y-you… You own a Celestial Supreme Treasure?!"
Tang Xiao Xiao did not deign to reply to Tang Zhen Bao, she only glanced at him coldly before saying to Duan Ling Tian, "Let's go!"
"If it's inconvenient for you to kill him, I can kill him for you." Duan Ling Tian remained motionless. His eyes were trained on Tang Zhen Bao. Although he seemed calm, killing intent could be seen flashing in the depths of his eyes. Since Tang Zhen Bao had the audacity to order his men to kill him, Tang Zhen Bao would have to pay the price for it. Moreover, he thought it was inconvenient for Tang Xiao Xiao to kill Tang Zhen Bao.
Tang Xiao Xiao said, "I know you want him dead, and yes, he deserves to die. However, if you kill him, you can forget about my ancestor lending you the star chart. After all, Tang Zhen Bao belongs to the Tang Sect even if he's not related to my ancestor. If you kill him, you'll be an enemy of the sect."
After listening to Tang Xiao Xiao's words, a slight frown appeared on Duan Ling Tian's face, but he nodded anyway. "Fine, I'll spare his life for your sake. However, he must still pay a price for his actions."
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he moved like a ghost and appeared before Tang Zhen Bao in just a blink of an eye. He moved at lightning speed as he broke Tang Zhen Bao's arms and legs. He also suppressed Tang Zhen Bao's cultivation base so Tang Zhen Bao could acutely feel the pain.
Unsurprisingly, Tang Zhen Bao began to shriek like a pig. His cultivation base was merely at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Celestial Stage. He was as vulnerable as a defenseless baby in front of Duan Ling Tian! It was as easy as ABC for Duan Ling Tian to make him suffer.
"Let's go," Duan Ling Tian called out to Tang Xiao Xiao after he was done with Tang Zhen Bao, ignoring Tang Zhen Bao's murderous gaze.
Then, Duan Ling Tian and Tang Xiao Xiao made their way to see her ancestor to borrow his star chart. He could have killed Tang Zhen Bao and snatched the star chart from Tang Xiao Xiao's ancestor with his current strength, but he decided against it for Tang Xiao Xiao's sake. After all, she was a decent person and had helped him out in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone!
"No matter who you are, you must die! I want you dead!" Tang Zhen Bao said through gritted teeth as he watched Duan Ling Tian and Tang Xiao Xiao's figures slowly disappear from his sight.
…
Meanwhile, after a bout of silence, Tang Xiao Xiao finally said, "I'm confident I'll be able to borrow the star chart for you from my ancestor if you promise me something."
"Speak." Duan Ling Tian said. He was slightly displeased by Tang Xiao Xiao's sudden demand. He felt the gap between them widened. He had just begun to treat her like a friend, and yet, she had a condition in return for doing him a favor.
Tang Xiao Xiao said bluntly, "After we get the star chart, take me away from this galaxy."
"That's it?" Duan Ling Tian assumed she would take advantage of this chance and demand something outrageous from him, such as another Celestial Supreme Treasure. As it turned out, he had thought the worst of her. In his opinion, her request was tantamount to nothing. Even if she could not help him obtain the star chart, he would not reject her if she requested him to bring her away from this galaxy.
