Standing behind the good-for-nothing rich kid was a middle-aged man and an old man.
The middle-aged man wore a long light green robe. He had a medium build and an average appearance. He looked like an ordinary person with just a glance.
On the other hand, the old man was dressed in a long red robe. He was burly but his head was small, making him look a little strange. The man who had spoken up after the young man had spoken was exactly this old man.
Currently, the red-clad old man was glaring at Duan Ling Tian with his small eyes as a cold aura radiated off his body. It seemed as though he would attack Duan Ling Tian as soon as his young master gave him an order to check if Duan Ling Tian was the genuine black-robed man.
“Since Elder Shi has volunteered… Then, please go ahead!” The good-for-nothing rich kid said indifferently as he narrowed his eyes when he heard the old man’s words and saw the black-robed man had turned around to look at them.
As soon as the good-for-nothing rich kid finished speaking, the middle-aged man standing behind him who originally had a calm expression on his face furrowed his brows immediately.
On the other hand, the red-clad old man who had been eagerly waiting for an order from his young master charged toward Duan Ling Tian without any hesitation. “Yes, Young Master!”
The red-clad old man’s speed was terrifyingly fast. When he flew forward, he unleashed all his strength. The aura he emitted was suffocating!
‘Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?’ Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he sensed the red-clad old man’s aura.
In just a blink of an eye, the red-clad old man arrived near Duan Ling Tian.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re the real black-robed man or not. You’re destined to die in my, Shi Kun, hand!” The old man called Shi Kun cried out as he waved his arms around. It seemed as though it had transformed into a pair of Wind Fire Wheels. The sound of fire sizzling in the air could be heard, accompanied by a piercing aura.
“Inverse Double Fire Wheels!” The red-clad old man cried out again as his arms that were spinning suddenly trembled.
In the next moment.
Weng! Weng!
The Wind Fire Wheels seemed to transform into Saint Origin that was laced with fire as it shot toward Duan Ling Tian. The aura of the Wind Fire Wheels felt as though it was an Asura saber that had taken many lives. The aura felt filthy and tainted with blood. It was obvious Shi Kun did not hold back and unleashed his most powerful attack!
Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened immediately. He had not met Shi Kun prior to this. However, not only did Shi Kun took the initiative to attack him, but he had even used his strongest attack. It was obvious Shi Kun intended to kill him!
Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grim. He knew it would not be easy to deal with Shi Kun.
Based on Shi Kun’s aura when he unleashed his attack, Duan Ling Tian could tell he had killed a lot of people. Otherwise, the aura would not feel so bloody.
‘His move that combines both martial tactics and Divine Ability is pretty good!’ Duan Ling Tian praised silently when he saw Shi Kun’s attack.
Duan Ling Tian’s current strength was no longer what it was six months ago. He had gained much knowledge during this time.
Although the red-clad old man’s attack was strong, Duan Ling Tian did not fear it.
‘What a powerful attack!’ Duan Ling Tian continued thinking to himself as he stood unmoving in the air.
Hu!
Without knowing when, a seemingly simple and crude ruler appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s hand. It looked like those ordinary rulers that teachers used to discipline students during ancient times in Duan Ling Tian’s past life.
As soon as the ruler appeared, the Sun Saint Origin that was simmering just below Duan Ling Tian’s skin entered the ruler, causing it to shake.
Following that, a wave of swift and piercing aura surged out, hitting Shi Kun who was standing close to Duan Ling Tian. Shi Kun could clearly feel how terrifying the aura that the ruler in Duan Ling Tian’s hand emitted. It sent chills running up his spine.
‘His weapon was a ruler? Moreover, his aura’s really terrifying.’ At this moment, Shi Kun was convinced the black-robed man standing before him was not a fake.
‘Reverse Universe!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, unaware of Shi Kun’s thoughts. He began to move the Universe Ruler in his hand.
As Duan Ling Tian made his move, the space Duan Ling Tian and Shi Kun occupied began to ripple and shake.
The good-for-nothing rich kid and the middle-aged man were completely absorbed in watching the scene unfolding before their eyes.
‘Could he really be the black-robed man?’ When the good-for-nothing rich kid noticed the ruler in Duan Ling Tian’s hands, he still had his doubts. However, when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s moves, he recalled the rumor he heard six months ago.
When the black-robed man killed Jiao Zhan, the Deputy Leader of the Black Crow Alliance, he had also used a seemingly normal ruler. Naturally, the ruler could be fake. However, the aura from the black-robed man’s attack could not be faked.
The good-for-nothing rich kid was still stunned when the sound of a sword’s cry could be heard, accompanied by a shriek.
“Ahhhhh!”
As the space that Duan Ling Tian and the red-clad old man began to stop rippling, the good-for-nothing rich kid’s eyes widened when he saw the scene before his eyes. His face that was originally pale turned even paler.
One could see the good-for-nothing rich kid was trembling violently. Moreover, those who stood close to him would be able to smell the stench of urine.
The good-for-nothing rich kid was so frightened that he peed in his pants!
What did he see that frightened him so much?
In the distance, Duan Ling Tian stood unmoving with a calm expression on his face. At some point, he had already put away the Universal Ruler.
Near Duan Ling Tian, Shi Kun who was behaving arrogantly not long ago was cut into two.
All this happened in just a span of a few breaths.
Duan Ling Tian managed to kill Shi Kun whose cultivation base was at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in just the span of a few breaths!
The middle-aged man standing behind the good-for-nothing rich kid took a moment to regain his senses before he gasped. At this moment, he smelled the stench of urine and his expression changed to one of distaste. He discovered that his young master had been so frightened that he had peed his pants!
Whether it was the good-for-nothing rich kid or the middle-aged man, they were both shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s strength. After all, he managed to kill Shi Kun who was ranked at the 313th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking in just the span of a few breaths. Based on that, his strength should be at the peak of the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage even if he had yet to break through to the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
The stronger powerhouses at the peak of the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Dao Martial Saint Land could be ranked in the top 200s on the Supreme Saint Ranking
However, there was something the good-for-nothing rich kid and the middle-aged man were unaware of.
It only took Duan Ling Tian one to two breaths’ time to kill the red-clad old man, the remaining time was spent on devouring the red-clad old man’s Innate Spiritual Root.
Previously, Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Energy was already equivalent to Sun Saint Origin. However, during these six months, due to his diligence in cultivating and his talent, he had successfully broken through to the Saint Celestial Stage.
After Duan Ling Tian had broken through to the Saint Celestial Stage, his soul underwent a transformation and granted him the ability to explore and detect other people’s Innate Spiritual Roots. For this reason, it was more efficient for him to devour Innate Spiritual Roots now. It would only take him one or two breaths to devour an Innate Spiritual Root.
“Both of you…” Duan Ling Tian turned to look at the good-for-nothing rich kid and the middle-aged man, snapping them out of their daze, as he asked them indifferently, “Do both of you want to give it another go?”
Do both of you want to give it another go?
Duan Ling Tian was undoubtedly acting very arrogantly. It caused the good-for-nothing rich kid to seethe with anger inside. However, when he recalled Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he only remained silent regardless of how angry he was.
“Sir Black-robed.” At the same time, the middle-aged man standing behind the good-for-nothing rich kid stepped forward and cupped his hands toward Duan Ling Tian. He said, “I apologize for my young master’s brashness earlier. Since you’ve killed the person who had offended you, I hope you’ll be generous enough to forgive my young master.” It was obvious that the middle-aged man’s words were sincere.
“You…” The good-for-nothing rich kid did not expect the middle-aged man would apologize. His expression changed immediately. He opened his mouth as though he was about to say something when he suddenly stopped.
This was because the middle-aged man had quickly transmitted a message to the good-for-nothing rich kid. “Young master, I know you’re upset. However, this is not the time to reveal your identity. If you do, the black-robed man will definitely kill us to avoid trouble in the future! I’m stronger than Shi Kun, but not by much. I’m far from being a match for the black-robed man!”
