The figure was traveling at such a high speed that Duan Ling Tian was the only one who noticed his presence. None of the three powerful Nine Celestial Dukes of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had noticed his presence yet. Although the figure was fast, Duan Ling Tian could easily see his movements.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind stirred in the air, heralding the arrival of a tall middle-aged man with a well-built body. He seemed to have materialized out of thin air when he appeared next to Wang Dan Feng.
“Supreme Guardian.” Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru, the Sect Leader and the First Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect respectively, were the first to react. However, they seemed unsurprised by the middle-aged man’s appearance as they quickly bowed and greeted him. After all, they had used the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s sect-guarding Celestial Weapons against Duan Ling Tian earlier. It must have caused quite a commotion.
Although most of the disciples from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect present on the scene knew about their sect’s Supreme Guardian and that he was a man, it was their first time seeing their sect’s elusive Supreme Guardian. All of them were staring at him at this moment.
“Supreme Guardian?”
“H-he’s the Supreme Guardian?”
Meanwhile, the eyes of the elders from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect lit up with hope when they saw Wang Qiu Kuang, the Supreme Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Earlier, their hearts had sunk when they saw Nangong Xiu and Lin R failing to breach Duan Ling Tian’s defenses even after joining forces. Wang Qiu Kuang’s arrival seemed to have rekindled their hopes.
Wang Dan Feng who was held captive by Duan Ling Tian cried out upon seeing her father, “Father!” Her eyes began to brim with tears at this moment. Although she was a Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes and the Second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, she was like a young girl in front of her father. As soon as she saw her father, the floodgates of her emotions seemed to break.
“Feng’er!” Wang Qiu Kuang was enraged when he saw the tears brimming in Wang Dan Feng’s eyes. He raised his arms as waves after waves of Celestial Origin Energy surged out of him toward Wang Dan Feng. His Celestial Origin Energy dispersed the purple energy holding Wang Dan Feng captive, freeing Wang Dan Feng.
Upon seeing Wang Qiu Kuang successfully freeing Wang Dan Feng, the eyes of the people from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect brightened even more. Even the sect’s Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes could not deal with the purple energy, how could they not be amazed by Wang Qiu Kuang’s superior strength? With this, many of them assumed Duan Ling Tian was not any stronger than Wang Qiu Kuang. They were, naturally, unaware that Duan Ling Tian had deliberately withdrawn most of his strength when Wang Qiu Kuang arrived. Otherwise, Wang Qiu Kuang would not have been able to free Wang Dan Feng at all.
“Who are you?!” Wang Qiu Kuang asked in a deep voice that was laden with arrogance as he stared at Duan Ling Tian intently. It was as though he was talking to someone whom he deemed inferior to him. He had never seen Duan Ling Tian before and was not present when Duan Ling Tian had revealed identity, therefore, he was unaware that Duan Ling Tian was the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Wasteland’s Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Moreover, how could anyone relate someone so powerful to the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?
Wang Qiu Kuang had long sensed the commotion here before he arrived. Through his Divine Consciousness, he saw how Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru had failed to breach Duan Ling Tian’s defenses even after they had joined forces and used their Royal Grade Celestial Weapons. He could tell Duan Ling Tian’s Royal Grade Celestial Weapon was a defensive Celestial Weapon. Otherwise, he would not dare question Duan Ling Tian in such a manner. He would have been much warier if Duan Ling Tian managed to block Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru’s attacks without using the defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. After all, it would mean Duan Ling Tian was a quasi Celestial King or even a true Celestial King! As a Ten Direction Celestial Duke, he would not even dare to breathe loudly in front of a quasi Celestial King or Celestial King, let alone question them.
Duan Ling Tian had used his Celestial Weapon so that he would not have to use his Celestial Origin Energy unnecessarily.
The umbrella was a defensive Royal Grade Celestial Weapon he had obtained in the Little World where he had obtained the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring. Apart from the umbrella, he had obtained several other Royal Grade Celestial Weapons.
“Are you questioning me?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened when he heard Wang Qiu Kuang’s words. He sent his Celestial Origin Energy that was similar to a Six Combination Celestial King toward Wang Qiu Kuang. His Celestial Origin Energy left the air distorting and rippling in its wake.
Wang Qiu Kuang’s expression changed drastically when he felt Duan Ling Tian’s terrifying Celestial Origin Energy sweeping toward him. He could not even mobilize his Celestial Origin Energy in time when Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Origin Energy landed on him.
Bang!
Wang Qiu Kuang was sent flying several hundred meters back at once. He spat out mouthfuls of blood as he struggled to his feet.
Bang!
“It was easy for me, Duan Ling Tian, to kill Li Ping, a One Basic Celestial King, let alone a mere Ten Direction Celestial Duke like you,” Duan Ling Tian said. After hitting Wang Qiu Kuang, he had retracted his Celestial Origin Energy. His eyes were filled with disdain, and a sneer could be seen on his face as he spoke.
The entire place fell deathly silent as soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking.
Wang Dan Feng had been standing next to Wang Qiu Kuang when Duan Ling Tian attacked earlier. Although she was not the target of the attack, she had acutely felt the immensity of Duan Ling Tian’s strength. She was almost suffocated by Duan Ling Tian’s energy. She was certain he was stronger than a Celestial Duke. Even a quasi Celestial King might not be a match for him. Fear tightened its grip on her heart as a thought appeared unbidden in her mind. ‘It seems like he didn’t even use his full strength earlier…’
Wang Qiu Kuang who had yet to gather his composure after being hit by Duan Ling Tian heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. With an unreadable expression on his face, he said, “Li Ping had broken through and became a Celestial King before you killed him?”
Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently, “There’s no need for me to lie about this. In fact, it won’t be long before news of it spread here.”
When Wang Qiu Kuang recalled Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Origin Energy that had hit him earlier, he did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s words. Based on Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Origin Energy alone, it was clear Duan Ling Tian was stronger than an ordinary Celestial King. He knew very well that even a One Basic Celestial King would not be able to injure him to this extent with just Celestial Origin Energy alone. At this moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and hints of incredulity flashed in them. It looked like he had seen a monster when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “Wait… W-what did you say? Y-you’re D-duan Ling Tian?”
Wang Qiu Kuang had heard about Duan Ling Tian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in the Wasteland.
‘I’m Duan Ling Tian. I’m Murong Bing’s man, and I’m here to challenge the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s Ten Direction Celestial Duke Wang Qiu Kuang!’ Duan Ling Tian’s earlier words when he arrived at the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s estate resounded in Wang Qiu Kuang’s mind at this moment. There was no doubt the purple-clad young man standing before him was the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect whom he had looked down on.
Although Wang Qiu Kuang was surprised by Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base at such a young age, he had no time to dwell on it. Duan Ling Tian had said he had come to challenge him! In the past, he would not have even bothered with Duan Ling Tian since he did not think Duan Ling Tian was qualified to challenge him. However, after witnessing and experiencing Duan Ling Tian’s strength, how could he dare to accept the challenge? What a joke! Duan Ling Tian had managed to injure him with just his Celestial Origin Energy alone. He was clearly no match for Duan Ling Tian at all.
A bitter smile could be seen on Wang Qiu Kuang’s face. Since Duan Ling Tian seemed to be targeting him, he asked, “Master Duan, is there a misunderstanding between us?”
“There’s no misunderstanding between us. I’m only doing this to show your daughter my strength. I want your daughter to know her disciple, Murong Bing, has me. Let alone your daughter, with me by Murong Bing’s side, Murong Bing is not someone the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect can afford to offend!” Duan Ling Tian’s cold eyes shifted from Wang Qiu Kuang to Wang Dan Feng as he continued to say, “I came to say that if any harm comes to Murong Bing, not only would I kill you, but I’ll make sure to completely destroy the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect!”
