Swish!
The sound of saber whistled in the air. As soon as Gu Long drew his long saber out, he instantly struck at Duan Ling Tian. The saber ray that was like a crescent moon and a hundred meters wide swept toward Duan Ling Tian. In its wake, the air seemed to have gone still. Only the sound of saber whistling in the air could be heard.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples present on the scene were horrified. They did not expect Gu Chun’s brother would be so daring. He actually attacked Duan Ling Tian, completely disregarding the Fire Worship Sect’s rules. Most of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples felt that he was seeking death. Killing a fellow disciple was a serious crime after all.
Whoosh!
At this moment, not only were the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples horrified, but even Duan Ling Tian was horrified. He did not expect Gu Chun’s brother to attack him as well. Moreover, based on his actions, it was obvious he was trying to kill him.
“Golden Crow’s Wings!” Duan Ling Tian called out when faced with the saber ray that was sweeping toward him from the sky. The Sun Saint Energy in his 99 Saint Veins began to circulate.
In just a blink of an eye, the Sun Saint Energy covered Duan Ling Tian’s body and a pair of huge wings that seemed as though they were made from flames appeared on his back.
This was the Golden Crow’s Wings, the high-grade movement Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian had mastered!
Boom!
Duan Ling Tian flapped the Golden Crow’s Wings, setting off a thunderous sound and causing the air to violently stir. His body shot out like a cannonball as he brushed past the saber ray that swept down from the sky.
Whoosh!
The speed of the saber ray and the vast Saint Energy contained in the saber ray sent fear into Duan Ling Tian’s heart. He was certain of one thing. Gu Chun’s brother had to be an elite powerhouse at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage if he was not at the Quintessential Saint Stage. Otherwise, his casual slash of sword would not be so terrifying.
Boom!
Duan Ling Tian was still in fear thinking about Gu Chun’s brother’s cultivation base when a loud noise sounded by his ear. It sounded as though something had collapsed. As it turned out, it was the sound of Duan Ling Tian’s Tertius house being destroyed by the saber ray. It collapsed, raising dust around it.
From the moment Gu Long pulled out his saber to Duan Ling Tian evading his attack and the fall of his Tertius house, everything happened at lightning speed.
The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples on regained their senses when the Tertius house collapsed.
“What happened?”
“What happened?”
Gu Long had created a huge commotion, surprising many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples present on the scene.
Some disciples who were in their houses even walked out with a confused expression on their faces. After they came out, they learned about what was happening from the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who were present since the beginning.
“Gu Chun’s brother? He’s also a disciple of the Black Turtle Sanctum?”
“He immediately attacked Duan Ling Tian as soon as he saw him, disregarding the Fire Worship Sect’s rules?”
“Isn’t he afraid of death? According to our Fire Worship Sect’s rules, he’ll die if he kills Duan Ling Tian!”
The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who just came out were shocked. They kept talking about the rules in the Fire Worship Sect. They were shocked by Gu Chun’s brother’s disregard for the sect’s rules.
“Is Gu Chun’s brother really not afraid of death?” Even the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who were present since the beginning was baffled. Gu Long did not seem like someone who did not fear death.
What made him decide to disregard the rules in the Fire Worship Sect?
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Gu Long looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly as he said indifferently, “No wonder my cousin couldn’t do anything to you. You’re quite strong! Unfortunately for you, your strength is nothing to me, Gu Long. My earlier attack is just a casual strike! You won’t be so lucky the next time”
“Gu Long?”
“His name’s Gu Long? I’ve never heard of him before!”
“Since when does the Black Turtle Sanctum has such an amazing person?”
“Earlier, I saw a Bronze Flame Elder personally escorting him here. Not only that, but the Bronze Flame Elder seems very courteous to him as well!”
“Don’t tell me he’s a new disciple who only arrived today?!”
The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples whispered among each other as they stared at Gu Long.
Some of them had a solemn expression on their faces as they said, “If Gu Long has only arrived today, does this mean he’s a martial genius with a blue Innate Spiritual Root or higher?”
“That’s possible!”
“In the Fire Worship Sect, only geniuses with blue Innate Spiritual Roots or above are allowed to enter the sect at any time. It’s very likely that Gu Long has a blue Innate Spiritual Root!”
“Blue Spiritual Root! That means it’s certain he’ll be able to break through to the Saint Celestial Stage! If Gu Long really has a blue Innate Spiritual Root, no matter how bad his performance is, he’ll still be able to become a Silver Flame Elder in the Fire Worship Sect!”
“That’s right! If he really has a blue Innate Spiritual Root, it might even be possible for him to become a Golden Flame Elder if he works hard!”
The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples began to whisper among themselves again. They concluded that Gu Long must be a martial genius with a blue Innate Spiritual Root!
“If he really has a blue Innate Spiritual Root, then his actions make sense. That’s probably why he dares to disregard the rules of our sect! With his Innate Spiritual Root, the sect won’t kill him even if he kills Duan Ling Tian!” One Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple suddenly said.
The moment his words left his mouth, the other Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples were hit with a pang of realization.
“That’s right! A martial genius with a blue Innate Spiritual Root is worth nurturing in the Fire Worship Sect. Duan Ling Tian only has a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. Even if he dies, the sect won’t sentence someone who has a blue Innate Spiritual Root to death. At most, they would put on a show and punish him without harming him!”
“Then, this means nothing’s going to happen to Gu Long even if he kills Duan Ling Tian?”
“Hypothetically, yes!”
“It seems like Duan Ling Tian is doomed!”
Duan Ling Tian naturally heard the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples discussion. It caused his expression to change. He was shocked.
“You have a blue Innate Spiritual Root?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he stared at Gu Long intently.
If one paid closer attention, one would be able to see Duan Ling Tian’s eyes had brightened subtly as though he had just seen a treasure.
“Duan Ling Tian, are you scared now that you find out my cousin has a blue Innate Spiritual Root?” Gu Chun asked after he laughed. He did not give Gu Long a chance to reply first. He had a delighted expression on his face.
After that, he transmitted his voice to Duan Ling Tian and said some things that could not be said out loud. “Duan Ling Tian! Even if my brother violates the rules and kills you, the sect will only give him a slap on the wrist at most because he has a blue Innate Spiritual Root! They won’t harm him at all. Don’t you regret offending me? Unfortunately, there’s no cure for regret in this world. You can only blame yourself for not being discerning enough and offending me!” He had a smug smile on his face when he finished transmitting his voice.
However, the smug smile soon disappeared when he discovered that Duan Ling Tian had ignored him. He did not even bother to look at him. His gaze was trained on Gu Long from the beginning until now.
“Blue Spiritual Root? Good… That’s great!!” Nobody understood Duan Ling Tian’s current emotion. He was extremely excited when he found out Gu Long possessed the medium-grade blue Innate Spiritual Root!
“If I can devour his blue Innate Spiritual Root, I’ll be able to turn my Innate Spiritual Root green even if I can’t devour all of the energy!” This was why Duan Ling Tian was looking at Gu Long as though he was a treasure. As it turned out, he coveted Gu Long’s Innate Spiritual Root!
The moment Gu Long decided to kill Duan Ling Tian, it was obvious neither of them would be able to rest until one of them died. Therefore, Duan Ling Tian did not think he would feel guilty if he devoured Gu Long’s Innate Spiritual Root. At this moment, he only felt extremely excited!
‘Judging by the current situation, Gu Long must only be a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage!’ Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief when he thought of this.
He was confident he could kill someone at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage if he used all his strength unreservedly with the Jasper Celestial Sword. However, if that person was at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage or above, he would not be able to kill him even if he used everything in his arsenal!
“Little Chun, why are you wasting your saliva on him!” Gu Long smirked. His gaze turned colder as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, I don’t know how you destroyed my brother’s Innate Spiritual Root, but it’s no longer important! You’ll definitely die today!”
He charged toward Duan Ling Tian like an arrow as soon as he finished speaking.
The force from the Hundred Inscriptions Spirit Saber was far superior compared to his earlier strike.
“Duan Ling Tian destroyed Gu Chun’s Innate Spiritual Root?” Gu Long’s words shocked everyone.
Based on what they knew, Duan Ling Tian did not destroy Gu Chun’s Innate Spiritual Root. This matter had been solved when Gu Chun and Li An came looking for an answer from Duan Ling Tian a month ago.
