Chapter 3980 - Imminent

Duan Ling Tian’s words caused Wanqi Hong to freeze for a moment. When he recovered, he said with a sneer as his eyes burned with killing intent, “You’re still so stubborn, huh? Duan Ling Tian, be careful. Even if I go easy on you, you might still end up seriously injured.”

At this moment, Wanqi Hong had made up his mind. Even if he could not kill Duan Ling Tian, he was determined to severely injure Duan Ling Tian before Zhen Ping Fan and the others could make a move to save Duan Ling Tian.

“We’ll see about that,” Duan Ling Tian replied calmly.

At this time, Zhen Ping Fan looked at Wei Chun Dao, the Valley Master of Seven Kills Valley, and asked, “Junior Uncle Wei, can you preside over their fight?”

“Alright.” Wei Chun Dao nodded. Since he was the Valley Master of Seven Kills Valley, it was most appropriate for him to preside over the fight.

After that, Duan Ling Tian said to Wanqi Hong indifferently, “Wanqi Hong, since Valley Master Wei is presiding over the fight, let’s hand over the stakes to him before we fight. I’ll be able to rest assured with this. If you can do it, you can forget about fighting.”

As Duan Ling Tian spoke, his eyes kept darting around nervously.

In the eyes of those from the Wanqi clan, it looked as though Duan Ling Tian was uneasy and was still trying to get out of the fight.

Wanqi Hong, who felt the same way, said with a sneer, “Duan Ling Tian, you’re still trying to escape the fight at this time?”

Then, Wanqi Hong looked at Wanqi Jue.

Wanqi Hong did not need to say anything before Wanqi Jue raised his hand. Black mist swirled around his hand before they finally solidified into a seven-foot-long spear. The spear did not look extraordinary, but its aura emitted a heavy pressure. This was his prominent divine artifact with an incomplete soul, the Hidden Dragon Black Jade Spear. He carried this spear with him wherever he went.

“This is Elder Wanqi Jue’s Hidden Dragon Black Jade Spear?”

Many elders from the Seven Kills Valley who rushed here to watch the show exclaimed excitedly.

“Elder Wanqi Jue is using his Hidden Dragon Black Jade Spear to bet when the other party is only betting with 100 king-grade Limit Divine Pills? This news is going to cause a commotion when it spreads.”

“Isn’t he worried about losing the Hidden Dragon Black Jade Spear?”

“It’s obvious that he’s only using it to bet because he’s certain he’ll win.”

More and more people from the Seven Kills Valley began to gather. They looked at Duan Ling Tian, wondering if he would be able to win. Most of them were certain he was going to lose or that his chances of winning were very small. If they were to bet on the fight as well, they definitely would not bet on Duan Ling Tian.

Just as Wanqi Jue was about to hand his spear to Wei Chun Dao, an old man from the Wanqi clan suddenly called out, “Elder!” Then, he continued to say in a deep voice, “Forget it. There’s no need to gamble with your prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul just because of a petty conflict between the young ones. It’s fine if you win, but if you lose…”

The old man did not finish his sentence, but his words seemed to wake many members of the Wanqi clan up. Indeed, they were certain they would win. However, what if they lost on the off chance? What should they do at that time? If they lost the prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul, it would affect the overall strength of the Wanqi clan. It was not just Wanqi Jue who would be affected, after all.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian smiled and said, “That’s right, Elder Wanqi Jue. Perhaps, you should just forget it. I’ll definitely defeat Wanqi Hong today. It must not be easy for your prominent divine artifact to give birth to an incomplete artifact soul. There’s no need to use it to bet on your useless great-great-grandson. If you want to withdraw, I won’t have any objections. I’m sure your great-great-grandson won’t dare to object as well.”

Then, Duan Ling Tian’s smile widened before he continued to say, “However, let me remind you that there’s no way I’m fighting if you don’t bet with a prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul.”

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s seemingly uneasy expression was gone, replaced by an expression of anticipation.

Wanqi Hong’s expression changed slightly upon hearing these words. Then, he looked at Wanqi Jue, slightly nervous. Even if he was certain he would win, ultimately, the decision still lay with Wanqi Jue since the prominent divine artifact belonged to Wanqi Jue. He wanted to tell Wanqi Jue that he was certain he would not lose and was willing to do anything if he really lost.

At this moment, another two senior members of the Wanqi clan spoke up to dissuade Wanqi Jue. Although the risk was very minimal, they still thought it was not necessary to take such a risk just because of a petty conflict between the young generation. After all, it involved a prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul,

At this time, Zhen Ping Fan also said, “That’s right, Senior Uncle Wanqi. Why don’t we just forget it?”

Initially, Zhen Ping Fan did not speak up. Why would he dissuade Wanqi Jue? Wanqi Jue losing his prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul meant that he would be gaining it. However, after receiving a Voice Transmission from Duan Ling Tian asking him to speak up, he suddenly realized that dissuading Wanqi Jue at this moment would only agitate Wanqi Jue more.

Nonetheless, Zhen Ping Fan still prayed inwardly, ‘Wanqi Jue, you old geezer, don’t go back on your words. What are you afraid of? Do you not have any confidence in your great-great-grandson? Your great-great-grandson became an advanced Lord of Gods about 100 years ago while Duan Ling Tian only became an intermediate Lord of Gods two years ago.’

Ye Tong, the Nirvanic Elder from the Hidden Sword faction, also said, “Elder Wanqi, let’s forget it.”

Ye Tong did not speak up because he received a message from Duan Ling Tian. He only spoke up to get Duan Ling Tian out of what he perceived was a quandary. He did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to defeat Wanqi Hong and was trying to save Duan Ling Tian from embarrassment and having to give up 100 king-grade Limit Divine Pills. It was best if the fight did not happen.

Seeing a group of people dissuading Wanqi Jue, Wei Chun Dao withdrew his outstretched hand as well. Then, he said, “Senior Brother Wanqi, why don’t you just forget about the fight?”

At this time, many people thought that Wanqi Jue was likely to give up since there were so many people dissuading him. Hence, they were a little disappointed, thinking that they would not be able to watch Duan Ling Tian and Wanqi Hong fight.

Wanqi Jue’s body trembled slightly before he tossed the spear in his hand to Wei Chun Dao and said loudly, “I believe in my great-great-grandson!”

Upon seeing this, Wanqi Hong could barely contain his excitement. He said, obviously delighted, “Don’t worry, great-great-grandfather! I definitely won’t disappoint you!”

Wanqi Hong had been worried Wanqi Jue would listen to the others. He finally felt relieved when he saw the spear was now Wei Chun Dao’s hand. Then, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said scornfully, “Duan Ling Tian, we’ve handed the prominent divine artifact to Valley Master Wei. It’s time for you to bring out 100 king-grade Limit Divine Pills. Don’t tell me you don’t have them on hand…”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed a few times as the smile on his face vanished. Then, he said with a frown, “Of course I have them…”

Then, Duan Ling Tian proceeded to bring out a lot of pill bottles and placed them in a spare spatial ring before handing it to Wei Chun Dao. “Here, Valley Master Wei.”

Duan Ling Tian wore a grave expression on his face at this moment, but inwardly, he was very excited. He had finally succeeded.

“Duan Ling Tian, this is all thanks to your quick thinking! If I were in his shoes, I’d be fooled as well!” Zhen Ping Fan said excitedly through Voice Transmission. Earlier, he had felt that Wanqi Jue would refuse to bet with his prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul after everyone dissuaded him. However, Duan Ling Tian’s acting clearly convinced Wanqi Jue of Wanqi Hong’s guaranteed victory. He had never been to Earth, also known as Yan Huang Realm, otherwise, he would have thought Duan Ling Tian was good enough to be an award-winning actor.

Although Duan Ling Tian was excited, his excitement did not cloud his mind. He said, “Elder Zhen, don’t be excited yet. After all, we don’t know if Wanqi Hong has hidden his strength. It won’t be difficult for me to defeat him if his strength is just like what we’d learned. If not, it won’t be easy for me to defeat him.”

Duan Ling Tian had a certain understanding of the difference between the Divine Energies of an intermediate Lord of Gods and an advanced Lord of Gods. He knew it was not simple to overcome the difference. Moreover, Wanqi Hong’s comprehension of the law was not weaker than his. It was not surprising since Wanqi Hong was the most outstanding prodigy in the Wanqi clan.

“Just do your best. It doesn’t matter if you can’t win, but you must fight to a draw. We can’t allow them to win,” Zhen Ping Fan replied.

After a moment, Wei Chun Dao, the Valley Master of Seven Kills Valley, instructed the crowd to retreat further away.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian and Wanqi Hong both flew up into the air.

With this, a huge fight was about to start. It was imminent.

…

At this time, far away from the Seven Kills Valley in the Pure Yang Sect’s Cloud Peak faction.

Zhen Yun Feng, the founder of the Cloud Peak faction, was also surprised when he learned from his son that Wanqi Jue had taken the bait. He was even more surprised when he learned about Duan Ling Tian’s stakes. He murmured to himself, “Is Wanqi Jue crazy? He’s betting with his prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul when Duan Ling Tian is only betting with 100 king-grade Limit Divine Pills? He won’t default on the bet when he loses, will he? No, I have to go there. Who knows if that Wanqi Jue will be shameless enough to try and snatch the prominent divine artifact from them when they’re returning to the Pure Yang Sect…”

As soon as Zhen Yun Feng finished speaking, he did not hesitate as he brought a flying ship out, leaving the Pure Yang Sect for the Seven Kills Valley at the fastest speed possible.
