'He actually agreed to it. It seems like this guy is just another idiot who's obsessed with martial arts!' Luo Shan sneered inwardly.
Regardless, since Duan Ling Tian had accepted the Luo Brothers' joint challenge, things were settled now.
Although Wang Fei Xuan and Guo Lu's expressions did not look too good, they did not say anything else to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission. Since the situation had developed to this stage, it was too late for Duan Ling Tian to go back on his words anyway.
'Could it be that he's confident he can defeat the Luo Brothers even if they join forces?' Wang Fei Xuan did not know why this thought appeared in her mind.
However, she dismissed the thought as soon as it appeared since she felt it was impossible. 'In the Mystical Sky Mansion's Heaven Palace, none of the disciples who've just broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage was a match for the Luo Brothers when they joined forces… The Luo Brother's strength is widely acknowledged!'
'Let it be! He should suffer a bit so he wouldn't be so rebellious next time, and he'll learn to listen to the words of others.' Naturally, Wang Fei Xuan was displeased Duan Ling Tian did not heed her advice. He should know it was for his own good.
Duan Ling Tian stood opposite the Luo Brothers as the surrounding fell silent. Although there were many people present, everyone remained quiet. It was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.
"Eh? What's happening over there?" At this moment, a voice sounded from afar. It was the voice of a disciple from Heaven Palace who had just arrived. He had a confused expression on his face until he learned about what had transpired from the people around him. He immediately joined the spectators.
"This Ling Tian is too overconfident… Although he has broken through to the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, it hasn't been too long since then. He's not a match for the Luo Brothers if they join forces."
While Duan Ling Tian and the Luo Brothers stood opposite each other, more and more people arrived.
Suddenly, the attention of one of the Heaven Palace's disciples landed on a young man who had just joined the crowd. He greeted him humbly, "Senior Brother Wang Pi!"
This young man was none other than Wang Pi, the direct disciple of Master Xiao Yi, the Vice Palace Master of Heaven Palace.
He was also the person who led Duan Ling Tian to the Spirit Pool back then.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, you're being reckless… I've heard about the Luo Brothers. Ordinary powerhouses at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage might not be their match, let alone the fact that you've just broken through not too long ago." Wang Pi sent Duan Ling Tian a Voice Transmission when he appeared.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Wang Pi. I won't do something I'm not certain about." Duan Ling Tian's response was filled with confidence.
"En?" Wang Pi was stunned by Duan Ling Tian's confident reply. He stared at him before he responded through Voice Transmission, "If that's the case, I shall eagerly await your performance, Junior Brother Ling Tian! Naturally, even if you're not a match for them, you don't have to worry about them secretly sabotaging your chance of entering the Saint Martial Secret Zone. If there's a need, I'll make a move."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Wang Pi." Although Duan Ling Tian did not think he would need Wang Pi's help, he still thanked him through Voice Transmission because of his good intention.
Luo Shan who stood next to Luo He stared at Duan Ling Tian as he said in his deep voice, "Ling Tian, both of us won't bully you so you can make the first move."
At this moment, the auras of the Luo Brothers who stood together had fused together in a strange manner. The vibe it gave Duan Ling Tian was peculiar, it was as though he was facing one person, not two people.
'The Luo Brothers joining forces is not as simple as it seems… Put everything else aside, just the ability to fuse their auras together like this is not something all twins are able to do.' Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Naturally, he was not worried even if that was the case. With his current strength, even without using the Celestial Supreme Treasure, he was not even afraid of Early Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivators, let alone powerhouses at the Refined Saint Stage.
It was only natural the others did not know about this.
After hearing Luo Shan's words, Wang Fei Xuan was, naturally, annoyed. She said mockingly, "How funny! Even at this age, both brothers are teaming up to fight a single person. They are even shameless enough to say they're not bullying others. The Luo Brothers' shamelessness has really broadened my horizon!"
Although she was not speaking loudly, everyone present on the scene heard her and agreed with her.
It twisted the Luo Brothers' expressions, but they could not refute her words. They could only glare at her.
Wang Fei Xuan was, naturally, not afraid of them. No matter what, she was still the great Young Miss Wang of the Tyrannic Saber Mansion. If it was possible, they did not want to offend Wang Fei Xuan as well.
"Are you sure you want me to make the first move?" Duan Ling Tian asked as he glanced at the Luo Brothers indifferently.
"What? Are you worried that my brother will cheat?" Luo He sneered.
"Don't worry. I, Luo Shan, always keep my word. My words represent both of us." Luo Shan snorted.
"If that's the case, I won't be polite then!" Duan Ling Tian nodded after hearing their words. His eyes turned cold as the Sun True Origin in his body stirred and surged out through the 99 Saint Veins.
In just a blink of an eye, a Territory appeared in within a hundred meter radius of Duan Ling Tian. His Territory was, naturally, the 10,000 Swords Territory!
However, due to the Sun True Origin, his 10,000 Swords Territory seemed to have transformed into a huge blazing sun that not only hid him from the people's prying eyes, but it also shrouded the Luo Brothers.
The sight of the people outside was instantly blocked. Nobody could see anything at all.
"What's that?"
"Seems to be a Territory."
"What Territory is that? I can't see what's happening inside at all."
…
Outside the Territory, many Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples were in a frenzy. How could they not be when their sight was blocked during a crucial moment. They were anxious, but they also felt helpless.
'This is his Territory?"
Wang Fei Xuan looked surprised. 'What Territory is this?"
Although this was not the first nor second day of her meeting Duan Ling Tian, it was her first time seeing his Territory.
"This is... " At the same time, Liu Jian and Ren Fei who were in the crowd looked at each other yet again and saw the shock and incredulity in each other's eyes.
"This Territory… Why is it so similar to what my uncle described as Li Feng's territory?"
"I heard about it as well. After Li Feng formed his Territory, it was like a huge blazing sun had appeared… Ling Tian's Territory is actually so similar to Li Feng. Indeed, it seems like they have a close relationship."
Both of them sent Voice Transmissions to each other, and they could hear the shock in each other's tones.
Meanwhile, inside the 10,000 Swords Territory, away from prying eyes, both the expressions on the Luo Brothers' faces had changed. They had discovered that the True Origin in their bodies seemed to have been suppressed.
"How's this possible?"
"Impossible! Even if he's at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, the Territory consolidated by his True Origin shouldn't be able to suppress the True Origins in our bodies. Only powerhouses at the Eminent Saint Stage are able to suppress our True Origins through the True Origin Consolidated Territory!" The Luo Brothers began to panic. They did not know what went wrong.
From the beginning to the end, it did not even cross their minds that Duan Ling Tian might be an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse! Duan Ling Tian was merely a youngster who had not even reached the age of forty. How could they relate such a youngster to an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse?
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was not an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse. The reason the Territory consolidated from his True Origin could suppress the Luo Brothers' True Origins was due to his Sun True Origin.
In terms of strength, the Sun True Origin in his body was currently comparable to an ordinary Early Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse's True Origin.
That was why the Luo Brothers' True Origins were suppressed.
"It must be an extra ability of his Territory!"
"Right! It must be his Territory's ability that suppresses the True Origins in our bodies!" Luo Shan muttered to himself, and Luo He who heard it nodded in agreement.
Although their voices were not loud, Duan Ling Tian still heard it. It rendered Duan Ling Tian speechless. He did not think they had such a good imagination.
"This should end now."
Duan Ling Tian's eyes turned cold. Following that, the 10,000 solidified golden sword rays in the 10,000 Swords Territory rapidly shot toward the Luo Brothers.
The air trembled as tens of thousands of swords flew. Just by looking at it caused one to feel pressured. Imagine being the focus of its attack!
Wah!
The swords were flying in from all directions, as they got nearer and nearer, Luo He was the first to crumble. His expression changed drastically due to the pressure, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Soon after, Luo Shan also followed in his footsteps.
"What Territory is this?" At this moment, both of them were trying their best to mobilize the True Origins in their bodies. They could only stare at one another as they saw the panic and despair in each other's eyes.
The pressure that the tens of thousands of sword rays brought forth was akin to tens of thousands of mountains falling on them.
"So useless!" Duan Ling Tian smiled disdainfully when he saw how wretched they looked. He completely lost interest in playing with them. With just a thought, tens of thousands of swords rapidly condensed into a gigantic golden sword that swept across the sky.
Crash!
The body of the sword landed on them.
