4447 Meng Yu Zheng Is in Despair
Meng Yu Zheng was furious. In his opinion, it would be impossible for Tan Xiu Teng to escape the punishment for breaking the Heaven Vault’s Blood Oath that would undoubtedly kill the other party, but ‘Li Feng’ would be completely unharmed after snatching the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity away.
“Li Feng! Hand the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity over, and I’ll grant you a quick death!” Meng Yu Zheng said grimly. At the same time, he said to Tan Xiu Teng through Voice Transmission, “Tan Xiu Teng, it’s impossible for you to escape punishment from the Heaven Vault’s Blood Oath. However, I’ll nullify the oath if you kill Li Feng for me!”
Meng Yu Zheng did not care about Tan Xiu Teng at all at this moment. In fact, it did not even matter if he lost the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. Unless Duan Ling Tian was willing, it was impossible for him to snatch the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity back. Moreover, now that Meng Tian Feng was a supreme powerhouse, it would not be difficult for him to obtain another fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. The most important thing to him now was that ‘Li Feng’ had to die.
Tan Xiu Teng chuckled after listening to Meng Yu Zheng. He said, “Meng Yu Zheng, did you think I asked the young master to snatch the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity away from you?”
‘Young master?’ Meng Yu Zheng’s expression changed slightly. After listening to the way Tan Xiu Teng addressed Duan Ling Tian, a foreboding feeling rose in his heart.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian said with a sneer, “Meng Yu Zheng, Tan Xiu Teng has nothing to do with this. I took the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity on my own accord. I’m the mastermind behind this whole matter. He didn’t tell me to do anything. As such, he did not violate the Heaven Vault’s Blood Oath, and there’ll be no punishment.”
Meng Yu Zheng looked skeptical as he gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, “Li Feng, do you think I’ll believe you? Mastermind? Do you even have the capability to be a mastermind of anything?”
Despite his words, the foreboding feeling in Meng Yu Zheng’s heart continued to intensify. He speculated that the mysterious force behind Li Feng must have intervened and rescued Li Feng before Tan Xiu Teng could kill Li Feng. Then, Li Feng must have threatened Tan Xiu Teng into acting against him.
Tan Xiu Teng looked at Meng Yu Zheng indifferently and said, “Meng Yu Zheng, it’s up to you to believe it or not. However, it’s the truth. I did follow your orders. I went after the young master to kill him after he left the Wang clan and Blue Dawn City…”
Meng Yu Zheng did not let Tan Xiu Teng finish speaking before he roared, “Tan Xiu Teng, you’re an idiot! Didn’t I tell you to only make a move when you’ve confirmed that no one was secretly protecting him?”
Meng Yu Zheng thought that the person protecting Duan Ling Tian had to be stronger than Tan Xiu Teng and easily stopped Tan Xiu Teng from killing Duan Ling Tian. Out of desperation, Tan Xiu Teng must have led Duan Ling Tian to him.
Tan Xiu Teng sneered. “Meng Yu Zheng, when I was leaving my mark in the Divine Sand Realm, you weren’t even born yet. Do you think I’d be able to come this far if I were stupid? Obviously, I only made a move after I ascertained there was no one else around.”
Then, Tan Xiu Teng paused for a moment and looked at Duan Ling Tian respectfully. His gaze was slightly complicated as he continued to say, “However, I didn’t expect the young master to be so outstanding. His strength is close to that of a peerless top advanced Supreme God despite being under the age of 10,000. How could I possibly be a match for someone like that? If the young master didn’t spare me, I wouldn’t be alive now.”
Tan Xiu Teng’s words were like a clap of thunder in Meng Yu Zheng’s ears. After a moment, he said skeptically, “Tan Xiu Teng, do you think I’m a fool? Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense? How’s it possible for someone who’s not even 10,000 years old to possess strength that’s close to that of a peerless top advanced Supreme God? Such a person has never been heard of in the Outer Boundary and the Myriad Worlds, let alone the Divine Sand Realm.”
However, despite his words, Meng Yu Zheng, in fact, believed Tan Xiu Teng. After all, he was clearly in a disadvantageous position at this moment. There was no need for Tan Xiu Teng or Duan Ling Tian to lie to him. Moreover, it would also explain why the Wang clan refused him and risked offending the Meng clan for the other party. They were about the same age, but the difference between their strength was like an insurmountable chasm.
If Duan Ling Tian could read Meng Yu Zheng’s mind now, he might not be able to resist telling Meng Yu Zheng that they were not around the same age; he was barely 2,000 years old!
Tan Xiu Teng said, “Like I said earlier, it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not.” After a beat, he added, “Meng Yu Zheng, provoking the young master is the most foolish mistake you’ve made in your life. Because of a woman, you brought upon your own death.”
Meng Yu Zheng glared at the two people in front of him before he said threateningly, “Tan Xiu Teng, Li Feng… You better let me go! Otherwise, I’ll summon my ancestor here with the Phantom Projection Jade Token he had given me!”
Duan Ling Tian smiled when he heard these words.
On the other hand, Tan Xiu Teng said with a sneer, “Meng Yu Zheng, do you think I’m stupid? Your ancestor just became a supreme powerhouse recently. It’s impossible for him to waste his blood essence on a Phantom Projection Jade Token!”
The blood essence of a supreme powerhouse was needed to forge a Phantom Projection Jade Token, and the process was not as taxing compared to using the Supreme Spirit Blood Essence.
The Phantom Projection Jade Token was the jade tokens that those few people, whom Duan Ling Tian met on the God Defying World’s Realm Battlefield, had used to summon the manifestation of their respective supreme powerhouses. At that time, one of his opponents escaped by using the Phantom Projection Jade Token.
Duan Ling Tian had learned from his mistake, and he had been worried about Meng Yu Zheng possessing a Phantom Projection Jade Token as well. However, after bringing up his concerns to Tan Xiu Teng, Tan Xiu Teng reassured him that it was unlikely for a new supreme powerhouse to forge a Phantom Projection Jade Token. After hearing that, he finally felt at ease.
Meanwhile, Meng Yu Zheng broke down after his final attempt to preserve his life was thwarted by Tan Xiu Teng. In just a moment, despair overwhelmed him.
“No! No! I don’t want to die!”
