However, Duan Ling Tian saw through the ferocious facade the middle-aged man had put on.

‘It seems like he’s afraid of something? However, what’s there for him to be afraid of? If I have to guess, the only possible thing is my dragon scales. Could it be that he knows that I’m a Dragon Warrior?’ After Duan Ling Tian thought about it, he could only come up with this conclusion.

If the other party recognized his dragon scales, he must know that he had transformed into a Dragon Warrior. To be more accurate, he had transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!

According to Elder Huo, the Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was as rare as a phoenix’s hair even in the Devata Realm. One would need a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon to bestow one the gift of Dragonization in order to become a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior.

‘Could it be that he thinks I have a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon supporting me?’ The moment Duan Ling Tian thought of this, even he felt it was far-fetched.

If he really had the support of a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon, would he still need to go to the Upper Province to rescue Ke’er? He would have asked the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon to speak to the Fire Worship Sect. Would the Fire Worship Sect dare to disobey and not send Ke’er back to him?

However, Duan Ling Tian knew he was the only one who thought like that. Other people might not share the same thought as him. It was apparent that the powerhouse who seemed to have come from the Upper Province had become wary of him. Otherwise, he would not have put on such a fierce facade.

“Tian’er!” As soon as the middle-aged man’s words left his mouth, an anxious voice resonated in the air. As it turned out, it was Duan Ru Feng, accompanied by Ku Mi and Rong Yuan. They very quickly arrived next to Duan Ling Tian, Xiao Lan, and Bi Yao.

“Tian’er, are you alright?” Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian’s pale face, Duan Ru Feng did not even bother to ask about the dragon scales covering his skin. He only cared about his son’s safety at this moment.

“Father, I’m fine.’ Duan Ling Tian shook his head. He only suffered from internal injuries, and he would recover quickly if he was given some time.

Whoosh!

At the same time, a gust of wind blew past Duan Ling Tian. Ku Mi who was originally standing next to Duan Ru Feng had made his move. It seemed as though he had turned into a gust of wind as he charged toward the middle-aged man standing in the distance.

“The Azure Cloud Mansion is not a place you can act as you like!” Ku Mi snarled as he made his move.

“Stop, Elder Ku!” Horror dawned on Duan Ling Tian as he said in panic. He did not expect Elder Ku would immediately make a move on that middle-aged man.

Since Duan Ling Tian was injured by the middle-aged man, he was very clear about the middle-aged man’s strength. His cultivation base had to be above the Quintessential Saint Stage!

Let alone Ku Mi, even his father Duan Ru Feng, was no match for middle-aged man!

Bang!

As a loud bang reverberated in the sky, Elder Ku’s body mysteriously came to a halt before it exploded into a bloody mist that fell like rain.

“Ku Mi!” Horror dawned on Rong Yuan’s face. He did not expect his long-time friend would die in front of him.

“Elder Ku!” Duan Ru Feng’s expression turned grim as well.

Ever since he became the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Ku Mi and Rong Yuan had always been his right and left hand. After all this time, he no longer treated the two old men as his subordinates.

However, Ku Mi had been killed right in front of his eyes. He immediately began to see red!

In just a blink of an eye, a great and terrifying Devil Qi surged out of Duan Ru Feng’s body and began to spread out. Although it was not aimed at Duan Ling Tian, Xiao Lan, and Bi Yao, they found it hard to breathe and felt unwell.

Meanwhile, the Devil Qi continued to increase quickly. Duan Ru Feng’s aura became even more terrifying as time passed.

“Father, no!” When Duan Ling Tian discovered Duan Ru Feng had disappeared from his side, horror dawned on him. He did not think his father would be able to successfully seek revenge for Elder Ku. The middle-aged man was just too strong!

“Although your cultivation base is at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, your strength’s comparable to an Early Quintessential Saint Stage Devil Cultivator... Not bad! Unfortunately, even if your strength is at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage, you’re no match for me!” The middle-aged man’s cold voice resonated in the air. Based on his words, his cultivation base was even higher than the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage!

At the same time, he began to make his move.

“NOOOO!” Duan Ling Tian felt as though his head was going to explode when he saw the middle-aged man was about to make his move again. He was horrified.

“NOOOO!” Similarly, Xiao Lan and Bi Yao had a horrified expression on their faces as well. Terror could be seen in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Rong Yuan had also flown out to aid Duan Ru Feng. Although he knew he was no match for the middle-aged man, he did not hesitate at all. He had no regrets if he could die for his Lord Mansion Master!

Bang! Bang!

As two loud noises sounded in the air, Duan Ru Feng and Rong Yuan were sent flying by that middle-aged man in unison like arrows that had been shot out. They were sent flying for quite a distance before Duan Ru Feng finally managed to come to a halt in a wretched manner.

Rong Yuan, on the other hand, crashed violently on the ground. His face was pale. It was apparent he suffered greater injury compared to Duan Ru Feng. This was not unexpected since he was much weaker than Duan Ru Feng.

However, this time, it was apparent the middle-aged man had shown mercy and did not kill them as he had killed Ku Mi. Otherwise, whether it was Duan Ru Feng or Rong Yuan, it would have been impossible for them to survive.

Whoosh!

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian only heard the short-lived sound of wind whistling. In the next instant, a person had appeared in his sight. That person was just a foot away from him. It was none other than the middle-aged man!

The middle-aged man pushed Xiao Lan and Bi Yao away before he lifted his leg and stomped on Duan Ling Tian’s body, sending him crashing to the ground.

Duan Ling Tian who was originally injured could not even get up after he had fallen to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Lan and Bi Yao, naturally, could not hold back. Despite knowing they were no match for the middle-aged man, they still made their moves.

“Both of you are just like a mantis trying to block a chariot!” The middle-aged man said indifferently as he sent Xiao Lan and Bi Yao flying without so much as moving a finger.

Bang!

The middle-aged man lifted his feet again and stomped on the dragon scales on Duan Ling Tian’s chest. He looked down on Duan Ling Tian domineeringly as he said coldly, “I told you not to test my patience!”

“You’re scared!” Duan Ling Tian who was being stomped by the middle-aged man felt extremely humiliated. At the same time, his cracked lips that were dyed with blood began to form a peculiar smile.

“Scared?” When the middle-aged man heard his words, his heart jolted. However, his expression remained fierce. “Me? Scared? How ludicrous! What’s there for me to be afraid of?!”

Duan Ling Tian stared into the middle-aged man’s eyes as his eyes shone brightly before he answered with a smile, “A Nine-clawed Divine Dragon!”

Nine-clawed Divine Dragon!

When Duan Ling Tian’s words entered the middle-aged man’s ears, it was as though he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. This was because Duan Ling Tian had guessed correctly!

Initially, the middle-aged man planned to kill Duan Ling Tian as quickly as possible to obtain the Devilseal Tablet. However, when he saw Duan Ling Tian transformed into Dragon Warrior, he discovered that not only was Duan Ling Tian a Dragon Warrior, but he had nine claws. He was not as simple as a Seven or Eight-clawed Dragon Warrior!

Duan Ling Tian was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!

To become a Dragon Warrior, one had to receive the gift of Dragonization from a dragon with at least seven claws. A person that was bestowed the gift of Dragonization by a Seven-clawed Divine Dragon would become a Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior. Similarly, someone who was bestowed the gift of Dragonization from an Eight-clawed Divine Dragon would become an Eight-clawed Dragon Warrior.

In the history of the Dao Martial Saint Land, he had only heard of Eight-clawed Dragon Warriors. Eight-clawed Dragon Warriors were considered legendary beings in the Dao Martial Saint Land.

However, today, he had encountered a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!

Usually, a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was someone who was bestowed the gift of Dragonization by a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon. However, he had never heard of such things in the history of the Dao Martial Saint Land. At the very least, there were no Nine-clawed Dragon Warriors that had appeared in the history of Dao Martial Saint Land as far as he knew, let alone a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon.

The Dragon Warrior usually had a close relationship with the dragon clan’s member who had bestowed the gift of Dragonization to him.

The middle-aged man did not dare to risk offending the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon if it found out about today’s matter. He was deeply afraid therefore he had shown mercy earlier and spared Duan Ling Tian’s life. If he did not show any mercy, it would have been difficult for Duan Ling Tian to escape death even after he transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!

“You’re smart.” Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian mentioning the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon, various expressions fleeted across the middle-aged man’s face. In the end, he did not deny it. Instead, he praised Duan Ling Tian.

“However, my words still hold true. I admit I don’t dare to kill you and those close to you out of fear of the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon supporting you. However, it’ll be easy for me to kill the others!” The middle-aged man said coldly, “If you don’t wish to see the Azure Cloud Mansion turn into a river of blood, you better hand the Devilseal Tablet over to me!”

“Y-You dare?!” When Duan Ling Tian heard the middle-aged man admitting that he feared the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon supporting him, he thought the middle-aged man would not dare to act recklessly. He did not expect the middle-aged man to threaten him.

Turn the Azure Cloud Mansion into a river of blood?

“Don’t doubt my determination. I’m a man of my words!” The middle-aged man said coldly. His crossed-eyes glinted sinisterly!

As long as he did not kill the Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and those close to him, the arrogant Nine-clawed Divine Dragon would not seek revenge from him for snatching a Super Saint Weapon away from Duan Ling Tian.

Faced with the middle-aged man who was like a cold-blooded animal, although Duan Ling Tian was unwilling, he could only obediently hand over the Devilseal Tablet. This was because he did not wish to implicate the Azure Cloud Mansion!

After obtaining the Devilseal Tablet, the middle-aged man clicked his tongue and smiled. “How naive! I daren’t kill you and those close to you due to my fear of the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon doesn’t mean that I daren’t kill those who’re not close to you. Those words earlier were just said to make you give in. You actually believed me? You’ve angered me, and it can only be washed away with fresh blood!”

The moment the middle-aged man finished speaking, he left with the Devilseal Tablet as murderous intent surged out of his body.

“You dare?!” Duan Ling Tian was so furious that his eyes almost popped out of its sockets. He did not expect the middle-aged man would go back on his words after obtaining the Devilseal Tablet!

He instantly felt the flames of wrath in his heart was on the brink of exploding.

“In this life, if I, Duan Ling Tian, don’t kill you, I’m not a human!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes turned red as killing intent rose from his body.

It had been such a long time since he felt such wrath!

It had been such a long time since he felt so eager to kill somebody!
