The Silver Wyrm Army's camp was situated northeast of Bloody Spectre City. No matter if one was headed for Bloody Spectre City or the Black Dragon Army's camp, the direction was similar to when one departed from the Silver Wyrm Army's camp. The route is a key path from the Silver Wyrm Army's camp to Bloody Spectre City and the Black Dragon Army's camp. Unless the people leaving the Silverwyrm Army's camp to the Bloody Specter City took a detour, they would have to take this path.
At this moment, a tall purple figure was hovering in the air above this route, calmly looking in the northeast direction as though he was waiting for something. The figure was none other than Duan Ling Tian. He had passed Bloody Specter City again on his way to the Silverwyrm Army's camp.
Duan Ling Tian continued waiting patiently for roughly half an hour before he suddenly said, "He is here!" His expression had remained calm from the beginning until the end. The only slight change in his expression was his slightly raised brow.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, a sound wave swept from the terrain in the distance toward Duan Ling Tian. In just a blink of an eye, it was only a few thousand meters away from him.
"En?" Duan Ling Tian could see the sound wave had come from a figure flying in the sky at top speed.
As soon as the figure noticed Duan Ling Tian's presence, the figure sharply reduced his speed before coming to a stop a few hundred meters away from Duan Ling Tian. He had stopped because he could feel Duan Ling Tian's burning gaze on him, causing him to feel as though Duan Ling Tian had been waiting for him.
Duan Ling Tian cocked an eyebrow as he looked at the man who was two meters tall with a face covered in stubbles. "Commander of the Silverwyrm Army, Miao Lai Long?" The burly man in front of him looked somewhat similar to the owner of Lai Feng Restaurant who was also Yang Kong Ping's wife. It was not difficult for him to guess the man's identity. He had been waiting for this man to arrive.
"Who are you?!" Miao Lai Long barked. His eyebrows rose when he heard the purple-clad young man calling his name.
"I'm the reason you left the Silverwyrm Army's camp in such a hurry," Duan Ling Tian said calmly when faced with Miao Lai Long's question.
Miao Lai Long's expression changed as soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking. He narrowed his big round eyes as he said, "You… You're the new captain in the Black Dragon Army? Duan Ling Tian?"
Anyone who heard about the new Captain of the Black Dragon Army would know who Duan Ling Tian was after his subordinates spread news of his deeds in the Valley of Ares.
Duan Ling Tian was right. Miao Lai Long had left the Silverwyrm Army's camp in such a hurry because of him.
Not too long ago, Miao Lai Feng, Miao Lai Long's sister, had brought her husband to the Silverwyrm Army's camp. Miao Lai Long was enraged when he saw his sister crying. He had promised her that he would bring Duan Ling Tian to her so she could punish him! He had left as soon as he made his sister that promise. He was prepared to make his way to the Black Dragon Army's camp to capture the Captain of the Black Dragon Army, Duan Ling Tian, who had crippled his brother-in-law. However, he did not expect he would meet Duan Ling Tian as soon as he left the Silverwyrm Army' camp. Moreover, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian had been intentionally waiting for him here.
"Yes, it's me," Duan Ling Tian finally answered nonchalantly. His expression did not change when he faced the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army. In his eyes, there was no difference between the Commanders of the Black Dragon Army and the Silverwyrm Army. They were both no match for him.
"You're waiting for me?" Miao Lai Long's expression changed as he surveyed his surroundings, trying to determine if Duan Ling Tian had brought the cavalry with him.
Duan Ling Tian saw through Miao Lai Long's thoughts and said calmly, "There's no need for you to check… I came alone."
Miao Lai Long sneered. "Do you think I'll believe you?" He extended his Divine Consciousness and carefully checked the surroundings.
Duan Ling Tian suddenly laughed. "No wonder they say the City Governor of Bloody Spectre City favors Chen Xuan Ba, the Commander of our Black Dragon Army… I had my reservations before meeting you, Miao Lai Long, but based on what I've seen, there's no doubt you're not in the same league as Commander Chen Xuan Ba of the Black Dragon Army!"
"You! What did you say?!" Duan Ling Tian's words were like salt that was rubbed on Miao Lai Long's wound. Miao Lai Long was, naturally, furious. He withdrew his Divine Consciousness and looked at Duan Ling Tian with a murderous expression on his face.
The smile on Duan Ling Tian's face grew wider. "I'm sure you clearly heard what I said..."
"You're seeking death!" Miao Lai Long roared. The smile on Duan Ling Tian's face was like a thorn in his side. He could no longer hold back his anger. All of a sudden, he vanished into thin air, charging toward Duan Ling Tian like a tiger on a hunt.
Whoosh!
Miao Lai Long's Celestial Origin Energy seemed to grow significantly stronger as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian
'As expected of a Golden Celestial who has cultivated a graded cultivation method… His Celestial Origin Energy has increased by two whole levels after he cast his assist-type Divine Ability. Its effect is comparable to my assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he observed Miao Lai Long who was charging toward him. 'Previously, I heard Tong Zheng said that the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army is a Green Sun Golden Celestial! However, his Celestial Origin Energy has currently risen to the level of an Indigo Sun Golden Celestial after he cast his assist-type Divine Ability.'
Miao Lai Long had already traveled half the distance between him and Duan Ling Tian while Duan Ling Tian was still studying Miao Lai Long's strength.
The humming of a saber rang clearly in the air as a thick and wide saber appeared in Miao Lai Long's hand. His Celestial Origin Energy enveloped the saber and a ten-foot-long saber ray shot out from it! At the same time, countless small saber rays appeared in the wake of the ten-foot-long saber ray. As the saber ray shot toward Duan Ling Tian in the air, Miao Lai Long bellowed, "Duan Ling Tian, I heard about your strength from my sister. She mentioned you're almost as strong as He Jin Kun, the First Captain of the Black Dragon Army. Try and resist my saber!"
Swoosh!
The ten-foot-long saber ray shot toward Duan Ling Tian with a force that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth!
Duan Ling Tian merely narrowed his eyes and scoffed when he saw Miao Lai Long's formidable saber ray that was shooting toward him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian had already mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy as soon as Miao Lai Long appeared. At this moment, he let it surge out of his body. Soon after, it turned into thousands of sword rays that merged into a Sword Formation. At the same time, he drew his Celestial Sword out and merged it with the Sword Formation to form a giant sword. The sword rays in the Sword Formation shone even more dazzlingly at this moment. He did not use the Devata Artifact, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. Although the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword had lost its artifact soul, it was still comparable to a top Celestial Weapon.
Whoosh!
The giant sword formed by the Sword Formation flew forward to meet Miao Lai Long's saber ray as though it had received an order from Duan Ling Tian.
The brilliant saber rays flew toward the giant sword.
Miao Lai Long was a Green Sun Golden Celestial. After he cast his assist-type Divine Ability, his strength had increased by two levels. In addition to his offensive Divine Ability and Celestial Methods that he had cast along with his Celestial Weapon, he was currently five levels stronger than his cultivation base!
On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian was a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial. After casting his assist-type Divine Ability, his strength was raised two levels. His 99 Heavenly Veins would raise his strength another two levels. The Sovereign Heart Sword would further improve his strength by three levels. His offensive Divine Ability and Celestial Sword would raise his strength another three and one levels respectively. With this, his strength was eleven times stronger than that of a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial!
There were only six stages between Blue Moon Heavenly Celestials and Green Sun Golden Celestials.
Generally speaking, Duan Ling Tian's giant sword that was formed from a Sword Formation was at least as strong as Miao Lai Long's saber. However, Heavenly Celestials and Golden Celestials were separated by a significant stage, therefore, logically speaking, Duan Ling Tian should be slightly weaker than Miao Lai Long.
