At the core disciples’ training grounds.
The core disciples and Zhang Jin, the inner elder, were certain Duan Ling Tian was going to die when Shangguan Xiong Feng attacked. Although Duan Ling Tian had shown surprising strength in the past and had
become a rudimentary King of Gods, they did not think Duan Ling Tian was a match for Shangguan Xiong Feng. After all, not only was Shangguan Xiong Feng stronger than many inner elders, but his talent and
comprehension skills were considered top-notch in the Hidden Fog Sect as well. Shangguan Xiong Feng’s comprehension of the law was not inferior to Duan Ling Tian at all. Moreover, they both had at most a
mediocre divine artifact. As a native of the Realm of Gods, Shangguan Xiong Feng had the advantage with his bloodline power. Although Duan Ling Tian had mastered the Sword Dao to the rudimentary stage, and it was
powerful, it could not make up for the gap due to Shangguan Xiong Feng’s higher cultivation base and bloodline power.
“Duan Ling Tian is going to die.”
“Those whom the heavens love die young…”
When Shangguang Xiong Feng charged out, he brought out his mediocre divine artifact and attacked with all his might, leaving no room for Duan Ling Tian to defend himself.
Everyone looked at Duan Ling Tian with pity and a hint of sorrow in their eyes.
Although the disciples of the four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect were usually quiet, once they made a move, their targets would surely have a miserable outcome.
“You deserve this. How dare you provoke me!” Long Xiao sneered. His eyes were filled with schadenfreude as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said through Voice Transmission, “Duan Ling Tian, it’s good to be
courageous, but it’s foolish to be courageous when you don’t have the strength to back it up! If there’s an afterlife, | hope you learn to be more lowkey.”
Following that, Long Xiao saw Duan Ling Tian make a bold move to counter Shangguan Xiong Feng’s attack.
“It’s useless.” Long Xiao sneered deepened.
Everyone thought it was useless for Duan Ling Tian to struggle as well.
“Duan Ling Tian, if you manage to survive my attack today, I’ll return you the two Auspicious Pills!” Shangguan Xiong Feng said confidently and mockingly.
“I’m afraid you’ll die before you can return them to me,” Duan Ling Tian said.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell, everyone saw a shocking and terrifying sight.
Divine Energy surged out of Duan Ling Tian’s body along with his triple Fused Profundities from the law of space. His comprehension of the law was clearly superior to Shangguan Xiong Feng. At the same time, a divine
artifact appeared in his hand as he cast his Sword Dao that had been comprehended to the rudimentary stage. His attack completely crushed Shangguan Xiong Feng’s attack.
Shangguan Xiong Feng had unleashed everything he had except for his bloodline power.
“How’s this possible?!” Colors drained from Shangguan Xiong Feng’s face as his calm expression shattered. At the same time, scarlet veins appeared on his body as he was forced to unleash his bloodline power. Alas, it
was too late.
Duan Ling Tian’s move was devastating.
Shangguan Xiong Feng did not expect that Duan Ling Tian had hidden the depth of his comprehension of the law of space previously. Moreover, he did not expect Duan Ling Tian to possess a prominent divine artifact.
The prominent divine artifact, coupled with the rudimentary Sword Dao, completely overwhelmed him.
‘Lhave to flee!’ Shangguan Xiong Feng thought to himself when he realized he was no match for Duan Ling Tian. He would die if they continued to fight. Unfortunately, he was too slow.
Whoosh!
A spatial storm swept out as Duan Ling Tian’s prominent divine sword released sword rays that had been boosted with his rudimentary Sword Dao. They were like dazzling shooting stars when they sailed in the sky.
Boom!
A loud explosion rang in the air as the sword rays easily crushed Shangguan Xiong Feng’s attack before they landed on him.
“Arghhh!”
A shrill and painful cry that terrified everyone rang in the air as the sword rays tore into Shangguan Xiong Feng and turned him into a blood mist.
Everyone watched as Duan Ling Tian stood in the air with his sword in hand as he said indifferently, “Just because you want to return them to me, it doesn’t mean I’ll accept them.”
Duan Ling Tian looked proud and majestic like a sword deity at this moment.
“T-this… This… This…”
“Am I dreaming? Did Senior Brother Shangguan really die?!”
“Senior Brother Shangguan is one of the top three strongest core disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect! Even the strongest core disciple couldn’t kill him so easily, and yet, Duan Ling Tian managed to do it!”
“D-doesn’t this, doesn’t this mean that Duan Ling Tian is the strongest core disciple in the Hidden Fog Sect?”
“Forget about whether he’s the strongest core disciple or not. Do you think Supreme Elder Feng will let him go now that he killed Senior Brother Shangguan?”
“Senior Brother Shangguan was Supreme Elder Feng’s most beloved disciple. There were rumors that he’s the son of Supreme Elder Feng’s illegitimate son, which makes him Supreme Elder Feng’s grandson!”
The core disciples who were in shock and disbelief were frightened when they regained their senses.
“Duan Ling Tian…” Zhang Jin was stunned. Based on the strength Duan Ling Tian had just displayed, Duan Ling Tian could easily kill him. Although he was one of the stronger inner elders, his strength was on par with
Long Xiao at most, which meant that he was slightly weaker than Shangguan Xiong Feng.
“No! I-impossible!” Long Xiao, who was standing in the distance, was frozen. A shocked and disbelieving expression had replaced his mocking expression as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He shuddered and regained his
senses when he saw the killing intent in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. He turned around decisively to flee. He was not even as strong as Shangguan Xiong Feng; he was only asking for death if he continued to stay here.
‘I need to leave now!’ This was the only thought left in Long Xiao’s head at this moment. He had to escape back to his master’s cultivation ground. With that, Duan Ling Tian would no longer be able to kill him. As he
turned around, he hurriedly brought out his master’s Soul Pearl.
Suddenly…
“No!”
Duan Ling Tian suddenly teleported and appeared in front of Long Xiao, blocking Long Xiao’s path. Before Long Xiao could contact his master, Duan Ling Tian released a storm of sword rays.
Long Xiao did not intend to resist the attack. He only wanted to flee. He knew whatever he did now would be futile faced with Duan Ling Tian’s attack.
Boom!
Similar to Shangguan Xiong Feng, Long Xiao exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
The core disciples who had just recovered from their shock were dumbfounded again.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At this time, many figures rushed over from all directions one after another.
The disciples and elders who had received the news first rushed over. However, they only saw a cloud of mist drifting in the sky as Duan Ling Tian stood with his hands on his back.
Duan Ling Tian had already put away his prominent divine artifact at this moment.
The newcomers looked at each other in confusion. When they did not see Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao, they felt cheated.
“What’s the situation?”
“Didn’t you say Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao wanted to kill Duan Ling Tian? Where are they?”
“Ding Yiming! You lied to me, didn’t you?”
Meanwhile, Tang Chun, who had just arrived, looked relieved when he saw Duan Ling Tian. He thought his quick thinking had saved Duan Ling Tian.
More and more people arrived.
At the same time, the core disciples regained their senses one after another. When they heard the messages from their friends whom they had called over, they looked at the purple figure in the sky fearfully before
they began to respond to the messages they received.
“Duan Ling Tian just killed Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao!”
“I thought Duan Ling Tian was going to die when Shangguan Xiong Feng made a move! Who knew Duan Ling Tian would kill Shangguan Xiong Feng instead? Moreover, when Long Xiao tried to escape, he killed Long
Xiao as well!”
“This is bad. Even if he managed to kill those two, Supreme Elder Lei and Supreme Elder Feng definitely won’t let him go.”
“That’s right! Although Duan Ling Tian had only acted in self-defense against Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao, we all know things won’t be so simple.”
“Duan Ling Tian can only blame himself for not having a powerful background…”
The newcomers were dumbfounded when they heard about what happened.
“Duan Ling Tian killed Long Xiao and Shangguan Xiong Feng?” Tang Chun froze when he heard the core disciples’ discussion. When he looked at the purple figure in the distance, he felt like he was looking at a stranger.
He could not even kill Shangguan Xiong Feng with one move. This meant that Duan Ling Tian’s strength had surpassed his.
At this time, two furious cries resounded through the Hidden Fog Sect’s estate.
“Xiao’er!”
“Xiong Feng!” .
