Swoosh!
After teleporting for a while, Duan Ling Tian saw eight figures hovering in the distance. In just a blink of an eye, he teleported in front of them. As soon as he appeared, he looked at the identity tokens hanging from their waists. Upon seeing the identity tokens, his eyes lit up immediately. ‘They’re all disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion!’
With just a glance, the names Tan Yuan and Mo Ping Zhi Zhi caught his attention immediately. He knew the duo were the two most outstanding Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the Fire Glare Mansion. Wan Qing Qing had briefed him about the duo previously. Therefore, he knew Tan Yuan had comprehended the law of metal whereas Mo Ping Zhi had comprehended the law of water. His speed was comparable to Mo Ping Zhi, but Tan Yuan was slightly faster than him. However, with the Teleportation Profundity, Tan Yuan would not have an advantage over him in terms of speed. Offensive strength-wise, Mo Ping Zhi was far inferior to Tan Yuan as well.
‘It’s obvious they were waiting for me…’ Duan Ling Tian could easily tell they had deliberately waited for him and that their confidence was boosted by Tan Yuan and Mo Ping Zhi’s presence.
Meanwhile, as soon as Duan Ling Tian appeared, all eight disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion glared at Duan Ling Tian. They easily identified him after looking at the identity token hanging from his waist.
“He’s here!”
“It’s Duan Ling Tian!”
“It’s the outer court disciple of the Profound Nether Mansion, Duan Ling Tian!”
Tan Yuan stepped forward with a solemn expression on his face. His eyes glinted coldly as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, you’re finally here!” Although he could not wait to kill Duan Ling Tian, he did not dare to act recklessly. After all, who knew if Duan Ling Tian had an extraordinary background. Even the higher-ups in the Fire Glaze Mansion had told them repeatedly not to kill Duan Ling Tian even if they were capable of doing so. It was imperative that they investigated Duan Ling Tian before they acted.
Swoosh!
After Tan Yuan stepped forward, Mo Ping Zhi followed suit and stood next to Tan Yuan. He looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly and said, “Duan Ling Tian, you’re really something. In less than a day, you eliminated roughly 40 inner court disciples from our Fire Glaze Mansion!”
There were roughly 200 inner court disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion who entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm this month. Alas, in less than a day, Duan Ling Tian eliminated roughly 40 disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion, setting an unprecedented record in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As Tan Yuan and Mo Ping Zhi confronted Duan Ling Tian, the remaining six disciples spread out and surrounded Duan Ling Tian from a distance. However, despite their actions and Tan Yuan and Mo Ping Zhi’s presence, it was obvious they were still slightly fearful and wary of him. After all, they knew he had comprehended the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity. If he wanted to eliminate or kill them, Tan Yuan or Mo Ping Zhi might not necessarily be able to save them. At this moment, they felt slightly regretful that they did not leave when they had the chance to leave.
“Soon it’ll be roughly 50 people…” Duan Ling Tian smirked when he heard Mo Ping Zhi’s words. At the same time, his Celestial Origin Energy coursed through his 99 Heavenly Veins before surging out. The air around him rippled and distorted immediately.
“How dare you!” Mo Ping Zhi’s expression darkened immediately when he heard Duan Ling Tian insinuating that he would eliminate all eight of them. How could he not be enraged by Duan Ling Tian’s disdainful words? Did he think they were so easily eliminated?
The six disciples’ expressions were no better than Mo Ping Zhi’s expression.
“Preposterous! Do you think you’re a match for our seniors?”
“You’re not even 100 years old. You must have had some sort of fortuitous encounter to possess such strength at this age… Regardless, you’re destined to be eliminated by Senior Tan Yuan and Senior Mo Ping Zhi today!”
“Your time in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realms this month will come to an end today.”
“If you’re smart, you should just crush your Accumulative Point Jade now and leave. If you insist on being stubborn, our seniors will definitely teach you an unforgettable lesson today!”
At this moment, Tan Yuan said, “Everyone can boast. You’ll have to see if you have the capability to eliminate us…” He smiled coldly as a burst of golden light shrouded him. Then, his skin seemed to be plated by gold, making him look like a golden statue.
‘The law of metal’s Metal Style Profundity!’ Duan Ling Tian raised a brow.
Mo Ping Zhi scoffed. Then, a surge of blue light shrouded him. In just an instant, it seemed as though he had turned into a body of water,
Whoosh!
Tan Yuan charged out, looking like a streak of golden light, as golden sword rays trailed after him. It was a dazzling sight to behold.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Whoosh!
Mo Ping Zhi did not waste time and followed suit. He seemed like the towering waves as he swept out toward Duan Ling Tian.
Splash!
Two streams of water shot out, looking like water dragons charging at Duan Ling Tian with their fangs bared.
The duo from the Fire Glaze Mansion was swift with their attacks. In just a blink of an eye, they were almost upon Duan Ling Tian.
Swoosh!
However, seconds before their attacks landed, Duan Ling Tian suddenly vanished into thin air. When he reappeared, he was behind the duo.
Crack!
Suddenly, a spatial tear appeared out of thin air before a grey sword ray shot out.
Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity!
This Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity caught the attention of the six Fire Glaze Mansion disciples immediately. They were not surprised about the Teleportation Profundity since they had heard about it many times before. They were shocked when they saw Duan Ling Tian casting the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity.
“Is that the law of space’s Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity?”
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
When the duo saw Duan Ling Tian vanished and their attacks had missed, they instinctively spun around.
Naturally, Tan Yuan was a step faster than Mo Ping Zhi. After all, in terms of reaction, strength, and speed, he was superior to Mo Ping Zhi.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian clearly had the upper hand. In order to end this quickly, he asked for help from the Chaos Divine Flame and the Profound Divine Metal. In just a second, the grey sword ray was further boosted as a golden flame shrouded it.
Upon seeing this, the eight disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion were confused. They did not know what technique Duan Ling Tian had used to boost the Cross-Dimensional Profundity, but they knew it was not the other profundities from the law of space. Naturally, they knew it could not be Celestial Talismans, Celestial Pills, or Celestial Weapons since they were prohibited in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
“What technique is this?”
Buzz!
The Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity cut across the sky, firmly locked on its two targets.
No matter where the duo from the Fire Glaze Mansion flew, they could shake the grey sword ray of their trail.
Tan Yuan sent a Voice Transmission to Mo Ping Zhi at this moment, “Let’s face it directly and destroy his attack!”
Initially, Mo Ping Zhi had been feeling slightly gloomy because they were unable to get away from the grey sword ray. However, his eyes lit up as soon as he heard Tan Yuan’s words. He had been waiting for these words! After all, he firmly believed as long as he joined forces with Tan Yuan, they would be able to easily eliminate Duan Ling Tian.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Tan Yuan and Mo Ping Zhi came to a halt immediately and turned around before they attacked in unison. A towering wave swept out and numerous golden sword rays sailed in the sky, in the course of collision with the grey sword ray from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity.
The duo watched, certain they would be able to eliminate Duan Ling Tian. Soon after, they discovered they had been too naive.
The Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity’s grey sword ray easily cut through the wave of water and golden sword rays like a hot knife through butter.
The duo saw the golden flames on the grey sword ray disappear after that, but its momentum did not seem to decrease at all. It continued on its trajectory toward them. Their combined attacks did not weaken the grey sword ray at all, let alone nullify it.
Swoosh!
Faced with the terrifying and domineering grey sword ray, the golden light shrouding Tan Yuan brightened before he fled like a streak of golden light. Alas, he had just moved when a crisp noise rang in the air. Soon after, blood splattered in the sky like blooming red roses.
Another crisp sound rang in the air. Unfortunately, Mo Ping Zhi who was slower than Tan Yuan could not escape in time. The grey sword ray left a terrifying cut on his chest. At the critical moment, the grey sword ray suddenly disappeared before piercing through his chest and flew back to Duan Ling Tian.
“Thank you for sparing my life!” Mo Ping Zhi thanked Duan Ling Tian at once. He was drenched in cold sweat and fear lingered in his heart. He knew very well that if Duan Ling Tian did not show mercy, he would have died.
