War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

One had to admit that none of the Black Armored Guards were afraid of death! Although they knew the person before them was much stronger than them, they did not intend to retreat at all as they continued to surround him. Even Duan Ling Tian’s eyes held a hint of respect toward them.

If it were other people, they might have fled or begged for mercy when they discovered he was stronger than them. However, these nine Black Armored Guards continued to charge at him and fearlessly surround him as though they were not afraid of death although they knew they were no match for him.

When Duan Ling Tian saw how courageous they were, his blood began to boil with enthusiasm. It was as though he had returned to the past when he was involved in the illegal world that was filled with blood.

The nine Black Armored Guards had obtained his respect.

“As expected of the Black Armored Army of the Azure Cloud Mansion. They indeed live up to their reputation!” Duan Ling Tian could not help but praise them.

Finally, the Decurion made his move to kill him, and he directly charged at Duan Ling Tian who was trapped in the encirclement by the few Black Armored Guards.”You’re quite strong… However, not only did you deceive us, but you even tried to deceive our Lord Mansion Master. On top of that, you even suspect Elder Rong! Your sin is completely unforgivable! If we, the Black Armored Army, allow you to leave alive today, it means that we’re incompetent!”

The Decurion’s strength was, naturally, impressive since he was at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage.

At the instant when the Decurion charged toward Duan Ling Tian, he was certain the strength of the Decurion of the Black Armored Army was much stronger than Zhao Ding, the Mystical Sky Mansion’s disciple from the Zhao Clan whom he had previously killed. Moreover, the Decurion could even pressure him, forcing him to make his move!

Swish!

The Decurion’s weapon was a seven-foot-long spear. When it moved across the sky, it was like a Wyrmdragon that had come out of its lair. The air seemed to stagnate for a moment.

A Vast True Origin even formed a churning force around the seven-foot-long spear!

When the spear moved in his direction, it was similar to the churn drilling in Duan Ling Tian’s past life. It was as though it could pierce through anything!

At the same time, the Decurion shouted, “Earth Dragon Drill!” The energy around the seven-foot-long spear in his hand surged again and the churning force turned stronger!

The spear flew toward Duan Ling Tian at a speed faster than a bolt of lightning, aiming for the vital point of his heart.

When the Decurion shouted, Duan Ling Tian also shouted in reply, “Have a taste of my sword as well!”

Subsequently, a sword appeared in his hand. The sword was completely solidified by the Sun True Origin.

Swish!

Duan Ling Tian pointed the sword out. Although it looked simple, there was a sense of unexplainable complexity to it. Naturally, this was because it contained the profundity of the Sovereign Heart Sword’s second stage. Its speed was extremely fast. It was much faster than the seven-foot-long spear in the Decurion’s hand.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand clashed with the tip of the seven-foot-long spear in the Decurion’s hand. The energies both of them infused into their weapons collided for the first time.

It could be seen that this was an explosive fight!

At this moment, when their weapons clashed against each other, the Decurion realized he was slightly inferior to Duan Ling Tian, causing him to mobilize the True Origin in his body instantly to further infuse it into the seven-foot-long spear in his hand. At once, the True Origin in the seven-foot-long spear surged again!

However, when it came to making a move at the last minute, how could the Decurion compare to Duan Ling Tian who possessed 99 Saint Veins?

With just a thought in his mind, the vast Sun True Origin in Duan Ling Tian’s body immediately surged into the sword in his hands through the 99 Saint Veins, causing the sword to let out a humming noise.

“Don’t complain that I’m bullying you! The True Origin I’ve just mobilized is on par with the True Origin you had just cast!” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly.

The strength of the True Origin in the sword he was holding was indeed on equal footing with the True Origin in the Decurion’s long spear.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s provocative words, the Decurion became furious immediately. He waved his arm and the seven-foot-long spear moved forward even faster, but the True Origin in the spear no longer increased.

As a member of the Black Armored Army, he was an unyielding man. Since Duan Ling Tian had said such provocative words, it would be embarrassing if he further used his True Origin. Apart from that, he could tell his opponent’s speed of mobilizing his True Origin was much faster than him. Moreover, based on his opponent’s calm demeanor, it was obvious he had more tricks up his sleeve.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

As the seven-foot-long spear moved, the True Origin churned around rapidly at its surrounding. The other nine Black Armored Guards at the side could not track the churning energy of the spear at all. Based on that alone, one could tell how swift its speed was.

Swish!

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was still calmly pointing his sword out as though he was merely planning to thrust the sword forward. At the very least, this was what it looked like to the nine Black Armored Guards.

“How dare he looks down on Lord Decurion! He’s just seeking death!”

“He’s digging his own grave!”

All of the nine Black Armored Guards felt that Duan Ling Tian was too arrogant, and he would definitely be defeated.

Only the Decurion could sense an inexplicable threat from Duan Ling Tian’s seemingly simple-looking sword. It felt as though an aura had locked on him, targeting him. His expression turned grave immediately.

History repeated itself as the sword clashed with the tip of the spear again.

The True Origins that were almost on equal footing collided with each other. If only True Origins were taken into consideration, they were indeed on the same level. However, True Origins were not the only things that were used in the battle. It contained the profundity of Martial Tactics as well.

The Decurion’s Earth Dragon Drill clashed with Duan Ling Tian’s profundity of the second stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword as well.

The result was way beyond the imaginations of the nine Black Armored Guards.

Bang!

As a loud sound resonated, the person whom they were certain would be defeated was still hovering in the air. He did not move an inch at all from his spot.

Their Decurion, on the other hand, was sent flying. His face was completely pale, and there was a trail of blood on the corner of his mouth.

“Lord Decurion!” Horror dawned on the nine Black Armored Guards when they saw this. They instantly flew out and shielded him.

Each of them looked at Duan Ling Tian guardedly as though they were afraid he would take advantage of his victory to attack again. However, they were baffled as well.

Earlier, he had simply thrust his sword forward. How could it possibly overpower and shatter their Decurion’s Earth Dragon Drill?

In fact, the Earth Dragon Drill’s spear technique that their Decurion cast earlier was an offensive technique in the Earth Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic. Not only that, but their Decurion had also almost cultivated it to the highest stage. Even then, their Decurion was still defeated!

“You’re really strong! However, nobody who deceives the Azure Cloud Mansion will be able to leave here alive!” The Decurion healed his injury a little before he looked at Duan Ling Tian with a piercing gaze. He lifted his hand, and a jade token appeared and soared up into the air before it exploded.

A shrill noise instantly reverberated in the air. As soon as the shrill noise sounded, a series of commotion broke out on the surface of the lake in the distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Figure after figures who were riding on wild beasts rose up from the water and began to surround Duan Ling Tian. It was obvious these people riding on the wild beasts were all Black Armored Guards as well.

…

Meanwhile, two figures stood hidden behind the clouds high in the sky where nobody noticed them. One was standing in front and the other stood at the back.

They could easily see through the clouds, and their eyes were trained on the surface of the lake.

“Lord Mansion Master, could he be the Young Mansion Master?” The old man standing at the back was none other than Elder Rong Yuan, the instigator of the fight that was happening below.

Naturally, the truth was he was only carrying out an order.

“The silhouette’s similar but the face is not! However, the aura on his body is undoubtedly my son’s aura!” The person standing in front was none other than the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ru Feng!

“How weird… He’s not wearing a disguise!” Rong Yuan found this strange.

Whether it Duan Ru Feng or Rong Yuan, both of them had never heard of any Secret Tactic that could allow one to change their appearance without being detected by Divine Consciousness. This was why they could not piece the puzzle together.

“However, this little fellow is indeed strong. He could be considered as one of the very best among all Martial Cultivators at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage! I’m afraid there are not many people under the Divine Saint Stage who can defeat him!” Rong Yuan continued saying again. He was not stingy with his praise when he spoke.

“Elder Rong, bring him to the Main Hall. He should be my son, Duan Ling Tian!” Duan Ru Feng told Rong Yuan and instantly vanished into thin air as though he was not there just a moment ago.

“However, it doesn’t seem like he’s wearing a disguise at all!” Rong Yuan smiled wryly. He had also seen the portrait of his Young Mansion Master. This ordinary-looking young man looked nothing like his Young Mansion Master.

Why did Lord Mansion Master say he was the Young Mansion Master?

Rong Yuan had no idea why, but no matter what, Duan Ru Feng was still Duan Ling Tian’s father.

Although Duan Ru Feng and Duan Ling Tian did not manage to spend much time together, as a powerhouse at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, he was particularly adept at sensing auras. Despite the fact that Duan Ling Tian had changed his appearance, Duan Ru Feng was extremely confident the young man was his son.

Three more small teams of the Black Armored Army appeared above the Crouching Dragon Lake. Currently, there was a total of 40 people, in addition to the original small team of Black Armored Army.

“Feng Ping, someone actually managed to injure you? This is rare.” The leader of one of the small teams, who was also a Decurion, laughed out loud when he saw the Decurion who was injured by Duan Ling Tian. It was obvious he was pleased by the other person’s misfortune.

“Humph! Why don’t you go and have a try?!” Feng Ping snorted as his expression turned grave when he heard these words.

At the moment when everyone from the three small teams shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian and a fight was about to break out —

Whoosh!

A gust of wind blew past as an old figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Upon seeing this figure, every single one of the 40 Black Armored Guards bowed respectfully. “Elder Rong!”

“Hmm.” He merely nodded his head indifferently before he shifted his attention to Duan Ling Tian. “You’re the one who wants to meet our Lord Mansion Master?”

When Duan Ling Tian discovered the old man standing before him was Elder Rong, he asked furiously, “Geezer, you didn’t hand my jade box to your Mansion Master, right?!”
