“A mere Three Talents Celestial King is trying to restrain us? How foolish!”
“It’d be incredibly easy for me to break the Restraining Profundity!”
The four men who were trapped in the cage burning with golden flames clearly did not take Duan Ling Tian seriously. They began to attack in unison to break the cage.
“Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity!”
Three spatial tears appeared outside the cage, looking like some beasts opening their mouths.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the next moment, three grey sword rays burning with golden flames shot out of the spatial tears.
“Transportation Profundity!” In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian had transported the three grey sword rays into the cage.
The four men continued to attack the cage as they defended themselves against the grey sword rays. When they brought their Royal Grade Celestial Weapons out, armor, vest, and cloaks appeared on their bodies respectively. Based on this, it was clear that they had used their purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons. Although Duan Ling Tian was just a mere Three Talents Celestial King, they felt greatly threatened by the grey sword rays from the Cross-Dimensional Slash Profundity.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
When the four men saw the grey sword rays continuing toward them unimpeded, they directed their attacks at the sword rays to deflect them. Alas, their attacks only managed to extinguish the golden flames around the sword rays. Their attacks failed to stop the sword rays that were shooting toward them. At this moment, their expressions changed drastically.
“No!”
“Impossible! How’s he so strong?!”
The four men frantically attacked the cage in hopes of freeing themselves. Alas, similar to the sword rays, their attacks only extinguished the golden flames on the cage and failed to destroy the cage. They were still restrained by the powerful force.
The ear-piercing sound of a sword cry rang in the air as the four men prepared to attack the cage again.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian was now standing in front of the cage. He waved the sword in his hand before it released colorful sword rays. It was none other than the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword that he had not used for a long time. Although it had not completely fused with Huang’er, the artifact soul, its power had increased greatly.
“No!”
“What kind of Celestial Weapon is that?!”
It was too late when the four men discovered the extraordinary sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand!
Colorful rays of light shone dazzlingly as Duan Ling Tian wielded the sword. With just a wave, the four men were instantly killed. They did not even have time to crush their Identity Jade Tokens to escape or defend themselves.
Meanwhile, Huan’er had also killed the other five people with the Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring.
Although the nine people had comprehended nine profundities from a law, and some of them had even comprehended two profundities to the initial stage, the laws they had comprehended were only ordinary laws. How could ordinary laws compare to the law of space that Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er comprehended? The law of space was one of the Four Supreme Laws, after all. It was no surprise the nine people were defeated by the duo.
“Huan’er, let’s go.” Duan Ling Tian beckoned to Huan’er to leave the hall after the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword returned to his body, and he had collected the Spatial Rings from those they killed.
Soon after, the duo left the huge hall where corpses were strewn on the ground and blood flowed like a river.
…
In the Wind Thunder Dao Sect, one of the Top Five Sects in the Southern Heaven Territory.
At this moment, an angry roar resounded loudly from one of the residences in the Wind Thunder Dao Sect’s estate.
“He’er!”
Under the watchful eyes of a group of disciples, an old man flew out of the residence. They whispered among themselves and were convinced that something bad had happened.
The old man was none other than Jun Chong Shan, the Vice Hall Master of the Hall of Law of Enforcement of the Wind Thunder Dao Sect.
“What happened? Why is Vice Hall Master Jun angry again?”
“When something similar happened a few months ago, I remember Vice Hall Master Jun’s great-grandson, Jun Wang Chen, died in the upper realm.”
“Hey, I heard Jun Wang Chen’s sister, Jun Qiu He, planned to avenge him in the secret realm… She should be in the secret realm now, right?”
“Then… Did something happen to her in the secret realm?”
At this moment, a muscular middle-aged man suddenly appeared in the air. “Vice Hall Master Jun, what happened?”
Many of the disciples recognized the muscular middle-aged man immediately.
“It’s the Vice Hall Master of the Tibetan Hall, Wu Gang!”
The old man and the muscular middle-aged man hovering in the air at this moment were powerful Celestial Lords. For this reason, the disciples in the surroundings were affected by the pressure that came from the old man’s anger.
Jun Chong Shan replied as he clenched his hands, “Qiu He… is dead…” At the same time, his Celestial Origin Energy surged out uncontrollably with a terrifying aura.
Many disciples with weak cultivation bases had no choice but to flee when they felt the pressure bearing down on them.
“What?!” Wu Gang’s eyes widened in shock. “Qiu He perished as well?”
Before Wu Gang recovered from the shock, Jun Chong Shan flew out and vanished in just a blink of an eye.
The disciples in the surroundings who heard Jun Chong Shan’s words were shocked as well.
“Jun Qiu He… is dead?”
“Heavens! We were right! Did that woman Huan’er kill Jun Qiu He and the people she hired?”
“How terrifying! That Huan’er is definitely capable of ranking in the top ten based on her strength.”
“Hey, it seems like Vice Hall Master Jun flew in the direction of Vice Sect Leader Hou’s residence…”
“He must have gone to look for Vice Sect Leader Hou so he could get Senior Hou Tong Xuan to avenge Jun Qiu He and Jun Wang Chen.”
…
While the disciples from the Wind Thunder Dao Sect were still discussing among themselves, Jun Chong Shan had arrived at the residence of Hou Zhen, the Vice Sect Leader of the Wind Thunder Dao Sect.
“Vice Sect Leader Hou, I beg you! Please ask Tong Xuan to avenge my great-grandchildren!” Jun Chong Shan fell to his knees as soon as he saw Hou Zhen. It was clear he did not plan to get up as long as Hou Zhen did not agree to his request.
“Vice Hall Master Jun, please rise to your feet and tell me what happened,” Hou Zhen said.
After listening to Jun Chong Shan’s words, Hou Zhen said skeptically, “You’re saying that woman, Huan’er, killed Qiu He and the other eight people Qiu He had hired… Vice Hall Master Jun, is it possible that you’re mistaken? Perhaps, Qiu He died during one of the tests in the secret realm?”
“Impossible!” Jun Chong Shan shook his head and said vehemently, “Before He’er made a move against that woman, she had sent me a message. Soon after that, she died. Moreover, before she made a move, everyone had left the hall in the grade-two secret realm. Only He’er and the eight people she hired along with that woman, Huan’er, and a young man, Duan Ling Tian, were left in the hall at that time.”
“Do you know the eight people she hired?” Hou Zhen asked.
“Yes, they were all elders. I’ve contacted the forces some of them were from and discovered they’re dead as well!” Jun Chong Shan’s expression was unsightly at this moment.
Hou Zhen’s eyes widened upon hearing these words. “If those two truly killed Qiu He and the other eight people, it means their strength is comparable to Xuan’er!” After a moment, he added, “Vice Hall Master Jun, I’ll send a message to my son. However, I can’t guarantee my son’s capable of killing those two people…”
Jun Chong Shan said through gritted teeth, “Vice Sect Leader Hou, if Tong Xuan truly can’t deal with them, I won’t say anything else!”
…
In the grade-one secret realm in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
At this moment, Hou Tong Xuan received a message from his father, Hou Zhen.
“Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er killed Jun Qiu He and the eight people she hired to help her?” Hou Tong Xuan was shocked when he heard the news. After all, Jun Qiu He and the eight people were strong enough to rank in the top 30, and yet, they were killed by Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er.
When Hou Tong Xuan regained his senses, he replied solemnly to his father, “Father, if that’s true, I don’t have the confidence to kill them.”
“If the chance arises, test their strength first. From what I know, they don’t simply kill unless their opponents try to kill them first. Just remember not to approach them with the intention to kill…” Hou Zhen said. He had easily agreed to Jun Chong Shan’s request because he knew Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er did not kill indiscriminately. Otherwise, he would not have put his precious son’s life at risk.
Upon hearing his father’s words, Hou Tong Xuan sighed in relief. “It should not be a problem to test their strength…”
After he was done communicating with his father, Hou Tong Xuan’s eyes glinted as he sent a message. “Yan Ru Yv, how much do you know about Duan Ling Tian and that woman next to him?”
