Chapter 2208 - 2208 Elder Huo’s Reminder

2208 Elder Huo’s Reminder

It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to guess the thoughts that were running through the minds of the people from Black Kshetra Sect. He had led them to believe that he had intentionally let Hao Shuang go when Hao Shuang cast the Soul Detaching Technique to flee. This was because he did not want them to know that he had exhausted all his energy.

If the people from Black Kshetra Sect found out that he was defenseless now, they would most likely make a move on him. He did not think the people from the Fire Worship Sect would be able to protect him. He would end up being taken away by the people from Black Kshetra Sect. Naturally, he did not want this to happen.

Whoosh!

At this time, the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword, finally returned to Duan Ling Tian’s hand. Currently, 80 to 90% of the Sun Saint Origin that he had sent into the Jasper Celestial Sword had also been depleted. This was also another reason why he could no longer chase after Hao Shuang’s soul, allowing Hao Shuang to escape.

However, despite the small amount of Sun Saint Origin that remained in the Jasper Celestial Sword, the grey sword ray around it still emitted a tyrannical and destructive aura that seemed capable of burning through anything.

The Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect was horrified when he saw Duan Ling Tian held his sword as he looked at him and the people from Black Kshetra Sect. He could feel the destructive aura the sword was releasing. He quickly said, “Duan Ling Tian, don’t you dare act recklessly! If you dare to make a move on us, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect will personally seek revenge from the Fire Worship Sect in the future! You better think things through!” He even brought up Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, to threaten Duan Ling Tian in hopes of intimidating him.

Although the Violet Dragon King and the White Tiger King of Black Kshetra Sect remained silent, a hint of dread and horror could be seen in their eyes when they looked at Duan Ling Tian and the sword he held in his hands. They could tell the reason Duan Ling Tian’s strike was so powerful was mostly thanks to this sword. The sword felt more terrifying to them than a Super Saint Weapon! To be precise, they were certain Duan Ling Tian’s weapon was more terrifying than any Super Saint Weapon on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking!

Duan Ling Tian has grown ridiculously strong after coming out of the pseudo realm left behind by the three Devils... It’s very likely he had obtained this sword from there as well. The sword must have come from the Land of Exile. It’s probably a Devil Sword that was refined by one of the Devil Clans. The three Devils must have brought it to the Dao Martial Saint Land...’

In fact, even the people from the Fire Worship Sect thought the same thing.

The aura the sword emitted and the strength it had displayed was far superior to any Super Saint Weapon that they knew. Even the Nine Cloud Sword and the Traceless Sword that were on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking were probably not as powerful as Duan Ling Tian’s sword.

“What if I don’t want to think it through?” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he heard the threats the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect made.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed coldly as killing intent began to rise from his body. Coupled with the destructive aura from the Jasper Celestial Sword, it caused the people from Black Kshetra Sect to be horrified. It did not cross their minds that Duan Ling Tian, a Guardian of Fire Worship Sect, would refuse to play by the rules. To think he still wanted to kill them even after the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect had threatened him using the Supreme Elder’s name.

The two Vice Sect Leaders of the Fire Worship Sect cried out anxiously, “Guardian Ling Tian!” They were sincerely worried Duan Ling Tian would kill this group of people from Black Kshetra Sect. Based on how Duan Ling Tian had killed Hao Shuang’s physical body with just one strike and forced Hao Shuang to abandon his soul, they were certain Duan Ling Tian was more than capable of killing this group of people from the Black Kshetra Sect.

Even the four great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect quickly transmitted their voices to Duan Ling Tian to dissuade him from killing the people from Black Kshetra Sect.

“Guardian Ling Tian, I know you’re furious, but you can’t kill these few people from the Black Kshetra Sect! If you kill them, the Supreme Elder of their sect would definitely cause havoc in the Fire Worship Sect!”

“Guardian Ling Tian, the Supreme Elder of the Black Kshetra Sect is at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! If he decides to cause havoc in the Fire Worship Sect without holding back, our sect will be doomed. Although Lord Sect Leader is strong, he can’t protect every single person in the sect! At that time, you would be in danger as well.”

When Duan Ling Tian heard how urgently the four Guardians of Fire Worship Sect were trying to persuade him, he almost burst out laughing. He could not help but admire his own acting skills. ‘If I’m still on earth, I’ll probably be able to win an Oscar with my performance!’

After a while, Duan Ling Tian looked at the people from Black Kshetra Sect and said icily, “I can let all of you go today, but all of you must pay a price for what happened today! My demand is not difficult. I only want the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect to sever his arm. After that, all of you can leave!” His voice turned even colder when he reached the end of his sentence.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the expression of the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect turned grave immediately! However, since he was the leader of the sect, he resolutely used his right hand to rip his left arm off. For good measure, he even destroyed the arm he had ripped off. There was no way for him to reattach his left arm.

“Sect Leader!” The Violet Dragon King and the White Tiger King were horrified. However, they still did not dare to recklessly make a move in front of Duan Ling Tian regardless of how furious or humiliated they felt. The scene of Duan Ling Tian defeating Hao Shuang with just one strike was still vivid in their minds. They could not afford to offend a powerhouse like him.

“Lord Sect Leader!” The two Vice Sect Leaders of Black Kshetra Sect cried out sorrowfully. Even the two Karmapas did not dare to make a move, where would they find the courage to make a move?

“Guardian Ling Tian, are you happy now?” The Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect asked in a deep voice as he glared at Duan Ling Tian fiercely. Anger could be seen in his eye.

“Scram! Scram now before I change my mind!” Duan Ling Tian frowned impatiently and waved his hand with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

Instantly, the people from Black Kshetra Sect turned to leave. All of them felt as though a weight had been lifted off their shoulders. The two great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect even took a Vice Sect Leader each so they could leave this place as fast they could. They were honestly worried Duan Ling Tian would change his mind. In just a blink of an eye, the people from Black Kshetra Sect flew and away and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Upon seeing this, the high-ranking officials from Fire Worship Sect sighed in relief. Earlier, they were worried Duan Ling Tian would kill the people from Black Kshetra Sect out of rage.

“Guardian Ling Tian, although I know you’re stronger than me, I can’t believe the gap in our strength is so wide. Hao Shuang is ranked fifth on the Supreme Saint Ranking, and he’s widely acknowledged as the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. To think he can’t even withstand a strike from you...” Zi Feng was the first one to speak. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and sighed emotionally.

“Guardian Ling Tian, you really hide your strength well!” Guardian Qing Huo looked at Duan Ling Tian and smiled wryly. When he recalled how he had wanted to take Duan Ling Tian as his disciple in the past, he felt so embarrassed that he wished he could dig a hole and hide in it.

“Guardian Ling Tian, I, Leng Ying, rarely yield to people even if they’re stronger than me. However, from today onwards, I will yield to you!” Leng Yin said to Duan Ling Tian with a respectful expression on his face.

“When the updated Supreme Saint Ranking comes out, Guardian Ling Tian will take over Hao Shuang’s place on the Supreme Saint Ranking. Guardian Ling Tian, you’ll be ranked fifth on the Supreme Saint Ranking and people will know you’re now the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!” Hong Yun said.

As soon as Hong Yun finished speaking, the high-ranking officials from the Fire Worship Sect looked at Duan Ling Tian reverently.

Even the Sanctum Leaders of White Tiger Sanctum and Azure Dragon Sanctum who used to have enmity with Duan Ling Tian began to feel respect for Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian’s strength had thoroughly struck fear into their hearts.

“Fifth on the Supreme Saint Ranking and the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?”

Although Duan Ling Tian usually had a calm demeanor, he could not help but feel overwhelmed by emotions when he heard Hong Yun’s words.

The four great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect had shifted their attention to the Jasper Celestial Sword that Duan Ling Tian held in his hand. Zi Feng was the first to say, “Guardian Ling Tian, your sword...”

Suddenly, Elder Huo’s voice sounded. “Take your wife and daughter now and leave the Fire Worship Sect before the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect comes back!”

Duan Ling Tian was startled by Elder Huo’s words. Elder Huo was right. Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, was engaged in a fierce battle with Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, at some unknown place. There was no way Tang Xuan would return so soon. Now was the perfect time for him to rescue Ke’er and their daughter!

“Elder Huo, thank you!” After thanking Elder Huo, Duan Ling Tian discovered that everyone’s eyes were glued to the Jasper Celestial Sword in his hand. An idea instantly appeared in his mind. He had thought of a way to distract the people from the Fire Worship Sect.

“Guardians, Vice Sect Leaders, Elders, and Vice Hall Masters,” Duan Ling Tian looked at people from Fire Worship Sect said, “Hao Shuang’s Super Saint Weapon has fallen at some unknown place around here. I remember clearly that Hao Shuang fled in a direction different from where the Dharma Rod has fallen. Since I’m in a good mood, let’s play a game. I’ll give all of you a span of ten breaths to leave and look for the Dharma Rod. Whoever finds the Dharma Rod can keep it. Finder’s keeper. What do you think?”
