Facing Fan Jian's begging for mercy, Duan Lingtian's eyes were extremely calm, "Fan Jian, I said, I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't cherish it... In this case, then you can go with Liu Shishi. [Full Text reading】"
"No!"
Realizing that there was no way Duan Lingtian would let him go, Fan Jian showed a ferocious look on his face, shouted loudly, his energy surged under his feet, and he rushed to the other side, intending to escape.
"Stubborn!"
Duan Lingtian had a calm look on his face, and stepped out with his foot on the 'trembling force' again. The speed was so fast that it was even a few points faster than the average Nascent Soul Realm first-level warrior.
In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Fan Jian.
Duan Lingtian's eyes were slightly cold, and the hand holding the narrow sword trembled slightly.
Draw the sword!
A sword as fast as lightning easily wiped Fan Jian's throat, causing blood to flow all over the sky.
Whoosh!
Fan Jian's forward body paused midway, and then was carried out by inertia. He fell hard and wiped the ground after landing, leaving long blood marks on the ground.
die!
quiet.
There was dead silence.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the young man on the stage of life and death.
This young man once again created a miracle.
With a cultivation level of the ninth level of the Yuan Dan Realm, in a head-on confrontation, he killed a first level warrior of the Yuan Ying Realm and a ninth level warrior of the Yuan Dan Realm...
It’s incredible!
Duan Lingtian groped for a while on the corpses of Liu Shishi and Fan Jian, took away their Nai rings and spiritual weapons, and then walked down the stage of life and death with a satisfied look on his face, landing next to Zheng Song.
At this time, Zheng Song came to his senses and looked at Duan Lingtian in front of him with a wry smile on his face, "Junior Brother Duan Lingtian, you are really just a blockbuster!"
Duan Lingtian smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zheng Song, is the Peak Master in Kaiyang Hall? I was just going to go to him to ask for a cup of tea."
"Walk."
Zheng Song nodded, smiled, greeted Duan Lingtian, and left the life and death stage.
Wherever they passed, a group of inner disciples respectfully made way for them...
It wasn't until Duan Lingtian's back disappeared from sight that the life and death platform became lively again. Most people's eyes fell on the two corpses on the life and death platform.
"Liu Shishi and Fan Jian were also unlucky. They actually provoked that evil star... As far as I know, few of the sect disciples who provoked that evil star seemed to survive."
"I never expected that after Duan Lingtian broke through to the ninth level of the Yuan Dan realm, he would be able to kill even the first level warriors of the Yuan Ying realm!"
"Yeah, it's really unbelievable! What's even more surprising is that he actually has a sixth-grade spiritual sword in his hand. You know, even our Seven Star Sword Sect doesn't have a few sixth-grade spiritual weapons, and they are all controlled by In the hands of the major peak masters and law-protecting elders.”
"In the past, Duan Lingtian only became famous in the outer sect...after today, he is destined to become famous in the inner sect!"
…
All the inner disciples were filled with shock at Duan Lingtian's strength.
On the way to Kaiyang Palace.
Zheng Song asked Duan Lingtian, "Junior Brother Duan Lingtian, when did you come back?"
Duan Lingtian smiled and said, "I just came back."
"just came back?"
Hearing this, Zheng Song couldn't help but be startled, "You just came back and you went to find Liu Shishi?"
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"It seems that you really don't want to wait for a moment... However, your progress is too scary! A year ago, you had no power to fight back in front of Liu Shishi... A year later, on the stage of life and death , you killed him with just one confrontation!"
Speaking of what happened later, Zheng Song, a third-level Yuanying realm warrior, couldn't help but have a hint of fear in his eyes.
Duan Lingtian's methods are really weird!
It’s elusive.
Duan Lingtian smiled and said, "It's not bad, barely a little progress."
reluctantly? A little progress?
When Zheng Song heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. This junior brother Duan Lingtian really couldn't stop talking without surprising anyone.
After a while, Duan Lingtian and Zheng Song arrived at Kaiyang Palace together.
Above the pavilions of Kaiyang Palace.
"Peak Master."
Duan Lingtian smiled and greeted Kaiyang Peak Peak Master 'Zheng Fan'. Among the senior officials of the Seven Star Sword Sect, only Zheng Fan was the closest to him.
"You kid, when did you come back?"
Zheng Fan smiled heartily.
"I just came back today and came to ask for a cup of tea from the peak master."
Duan Lingtian chuckled.
Zheng Fan raised his eyebrows and started tinkering with the tea set. While busy, he asked curiously: "Where have you been this year?"
"Tianhuang Ancient City!"
Duan Lingtian didn't hide anything and said it bluntly.
"Tianhuang Ancient City?"
Zheng Fan was surprised, "You actually went to such a far away place... That place is very chaotic. You are too courageous to even go there."
Zheng Fan didn't know that Duan Lingtian was protected by warriors at the seventh level of the Void Realm when he went there, and even more powerful by the Void Realm when he came back.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a fuss.
"In the past year or so, your cultivation has improved again, right?"
Zheng Fan poured a cup of tea for Duan Lingtian, looked at Duan Lingtian deeply, and asked.
Duan Lingtian hasn't spoken yet.
"Dad, Junior Brother Duan Lingtian is now a ninth-level Yuan Dan Realm warrior... Not only that, as soon as he came back today, he boarded the 'Life and Death Platform' and killed Liu Shishi!"
At this time, Zheng Song also walked into the pavilion, sat next to Duan Lingtian, and said with a smile.
Zheng Fan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zheng Song's words.
Zheng Fan looked at Duan Lingtian with a look of astonishment on his face, "Now, with your cultivation at the ninth level of the Yuan Dan Realm, are you enough to kill a first level Yuan Ying Realm warrior?"
Duan Lingtian smiled and said, "It's just good luck."
luck?
As the master of Kaiyang Peak of the Seven Star Sword Sect, Zheng Fan naturally knew that this could not be luck, "Duan Lingtian, you are too humble... Although I know your ability to defeat the strong with the weak, I never expected that you could even defeat the Nascent Soul." He can kill even first-level warriors!"
A warrior at the ninth level of the Yuan Dan Realm killed a first level warrior at the Nascent Soul Realm.
If it had been before, he wouldn't have believed it.
But now that all this happened to Duan Lingtian, he was not surprised at all. He had already seen Duan Lingtian's mystery.
Duan Lingtian smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup and sipped the fragrant tea.
After a moment, Zheng Fan looked at Duan Lingtian and said slowly: "Duan Lingtian, what is the conflict between you and that Zhao Lin?"
Zhao Lin!
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Peak Master, when I left a year ago, did Zhao Lin really follow me?"
Zheng Fan nodded, "Yes. However, at the critical moment, he was stopped by me, and in the end he had no choice but to return to the Seven Star Sword Sect honestly... I saw his appearance at that time, as if he would not give up without killing you."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed with cold light.
Zhao Lin!
Really stubborn.
Zheng Fan continued: "Duan Lingtian, if you have something to hide between Zhao Lin and you, just don't say it. However, I still want to remind you that this Zhao Lin is not someone to be trifled with."
Speaking of this, Zheng Fan became a little more cautious in his words.
"Isn't he just an outer elder from Tianquan Peak?"
Duan Lingtian frowned, a little confused.
"It's not that simple."
Zheng Fan shook his head, "Do you think that a mere outer sect elder from Tianquan Peak has the ability to turn the outer sect martial arts competition I hosted into a 'battle of life and death'?"
Duan Lingtian was startled, "The outer martial arts competition was temporarily changed to a 'battle of life and death'. Is it related to Zhao Lin?"
Zheng Fan nodded.
"Does he still have such great ability?"
Duan Lingtian frowned. Thinking of that outer martial arts competition, he also remembered that Zhao Lin was indeed present at that time.
Zhao Lin came with Shi Hao.
It wasn't until Shi Hao was killed that Zhao Lin left...
"It seems that that time, Zhao Lin must have colluded with Shi Hao and reached some kind of agreement with Shi Hao against me."
Soon, Duan Lingtian guessed many things.
Some of the doubts in the past were completely solved.
Zheng Fan shook his head, "If Zhao Lin is just an outer sect elder, he certainly won't have such great abilities... but the existence behind him is not simple."
Duan Lingtian could notice that when Zheng Fan said this, his expression became serious.
"Could it be that the sect leader is behind him?"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and asked.
Among the Seven Star Sword Sect, there are not many people who can make Zheng Fan fear him.
"Not the sect leader."
Zheng Fan shook his head, and while Duan Lingtian breathed a sigh of relief, he continued: "However, there is not much difference between that existence and the sect master."
Duan Lingtian's calmed down emotions started to fluctuate again, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Peak Master, don't be so secretive, just tell the truth."
"I'm not trying to show off, I just want you to understand the existence behind Zhao Lin."
Zheng Fan said that later, he took a deep look at Duan Lingtian and said, "I don't know, have you heard of the two 'Dharma Protector Elders' of our Seven Star Sword Sect?"
Protector elder?
In an instant, Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed and his face darkened, "Peak Master, you don't want to tell me that Zhao Lin is related to the guardian elder, right?"
Duan Lingtian had heard Lu Qiu mention them about the two guardian elders of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
Although he didn't know much about the guardian elders, he also knew that the two guardian elders' training places each occupied one of the nine spiritual acupoints of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
Not only that, the Protector Elder has a special status in the Seven Star Sword Sect, and to a certain extent, he can sit on an equal footing with the sect leader.
Moreover, because of their high seniority, even the master of the Seven Star Sword Sect would respectfully call them 'Uncle Master' when they saw them.
"good."
Zheng Fan nodded, "Zhao Lin is one of the two guardian elders of our Seven Star Sword Sect, and the grandson of Elder Ming! Elder Ming lost his son early in life, and he loves his only grandson very much."
"Just like the last time the rules of the outer sect martial arts competition suddenly changed, Zhao Lin went to find Elder Ming... Of course, he didn't tell Elder Ming that he would target you, he just said that he hoped that the outer sect martial arts competition would inspire the outer sect disciples. Potential and the will to survive.”
Inspire the potential and survival will of outer disciples?
After hearing Zhao Lin's excuse, a sneer appeared on Duan Lingtian's lips.
That Zhao Lin, this excuse is high-sounding.
"I didn't expect that Zhao Lin had such a background... I thought he was just an ordinary outer sect elder."
Duan Lingtian's heart sank slightly.
...
