4474 Duan Ling Tian Protects Tan Xiu Teng
Zhong Yue gave his orders decisively and quickly. It was as though he long thought out how to deal with Duan Ling Tian and the others. He naturally had no intention of causing any harm to Hu Fei Yan and only wanted to restrain her so she could not protect Tan Xiu Teng. Moreover, if he really drove Hu Fei Yan into a corner, he had no doubts that she would use the life-saving methods her adoptive father, Hu Bu Gui, had given him. If that happened, he would also be forced to use the life-saving methods given to him by his ancestor. He was naturally unwilling to use the life-saving methods for such a trivial matter., and he was certain Hu Fei Yan felt the same way. As such, he concluded that as long as he did not push her into a corner and only restrained her, she would not use the life-saving methods, let alone use them because of a person like Tan Xiu Teng.
As for Duan Ling Tian, although Zhong Yue felt that Duan Ling Tian was responsible for his junior brother’s death, he did not plan to hurt Duan Ling Tian either and only planned to restrain him. After all, based on how courteous Hu Fei Yan was to Duan Ling Tian, he concluded that Duan Ling Tian also had an extraordinary background. Such a person naturally possessed life-saving means from a supreme powerhouse.
This was the limit of Zhong Yue’s compromise. He would not hurt Hu Fei Yan and Duan Ling Tian, but he would not let Tan Xiu Teng go even if Tan Xiu Teng was Duan Ling Tian’s subordinate. He did not care if Duan Ling Tian had an extraordinary background, and in his opinion, it was enough that he did not hurt Duan Ling Tian. After all, he, too, had an extraordinary background. In his opinion, since Duan Ling Tian’s subordinate killed his junior brother, it was only fair for him to kill Duan Ling Tian’s subordinate. Unless the supreme powerhouse backing Duan Ling Tian was stronger than his ancestor, there was no way he would give up on avenging his junior brother. Otherwise, he was determined to kill Tan Xiu Teng.
As the Young Master of Mount Tai’s Zhong clan, Zhong Yue naturally had his pride and would not bow his head easily. He gave in to Linghu Yun Di since Linghu Yun Di’s background was not only better than his, but she was also stronger than him. It was not embarrassing to give in to her. However, Hu Fei Yan was different; she was not enough to make him back down. As for Duan Ling Tian, although he suspected that Duan Ling Tian had an extraordinary background, he did not know anything about Duan Ling Tian. Who was to say Duan Ling Tian’s background was superior to his? As such, there was no way he would give in to Duan Ling Tian. In his opinion, if Duan Ling Tian wanted him to retreat, Duan Ling Tian should just reveal his background and prove that he had a superior background.
“Do it!”
Subsequently, Leng Jing and the three men from the Zhong clan who were almost comparable to peerless top advanced Supreme Gods flew toward Duan Ling Tian and Hu Fei Yan.
At the same time, the ten Black Profound Guards, who were not as powerful, spread out and surrounded the trio as they disrupted the space. Based on this, it was clear that Zhong Yue was skilled in the law of space and wanted to prevent her from teleporting Tan Xiu Teng away.
While Leng Jing and the other three flew toward Duan Ling Tian and Hu Fei Yan, Zhong Yue was staring at Tan Xiu Teng intently.
At this time, Tan Xiu Teng, who had lost all hope, suddenly heard a voice say, “Enter my spatial artifact!”
“Young master?!” Tan Xiu Teng was shocked.
Tan Xiu Teng did not expect that Duan Ling Tian would continue to protect him. After all, the current situation was not in their favor; their opponents’ collective strength overwhelmed theirs. Even if they used the life-saving means given to them, it would not make a difference since Zhong Yue had them as well. Moreover, there was Leng Jing. Although Leng Jing was not the Young Master of the Leng clan, he was still a highly-valued prodigy of the Leng clan. As such, the supreme powerhouse from the Leng clan definitely would give him some life-saving means as well. If both sides summoned the projections of their respective supreme powerhouses, it would turn into a confrontation between supreme powerhouses. At that time, the side with the stronger supreme powerhouse would win the confrontation. Needless to say, if their side lost, Tan Xiu Teng would die.
“Hurry up!” Duan Ling Tian said impatiently, urging Tan Xiu Teng to enter his spatial artifact. Once the fight started, he would not be able to protect Tan Xiu Teng.
Hu Fei Yan was also slightly surprised that Duan Ling Tian was going to such an extent to protect Tan Xiu Teng. She could not help but wonder, ‘Is he so confident because of the supreme powerhouse behind him?’
Since Duan Ling Tian was so determined, Hu Fei Yan thought that it was likely that this would end with a confrontation between supreme powerhouses. After all, just her and Duan Ling Tian alone were not enough to deal with five cultivators who were almost comparable to peerless top advanced Supreme Gods, including Zhong Yue and Leng Jing.
Zhong Yue did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so determined to protect Tan Xiu Teng as well. It was clear that Duan Ling Tian was not going to back down without a fight. He said grimly, “Very well. Let’s fight. I want to see which supreme powerhouse is protecting you as well…”
In both the Outer Boundary and Myriad Worlds, strong supreme powerhouses were all famous. It was thanks to many fortuitous encounters that they were able to become so strong. They would fight for these fortuitous encounters, making a name for themselves in their journey to grow stronger. To ordinary cultivators, they were mysterious and powerful, but in fact, they were not different from ordinary cultivators at the core; like ordinary cultivators, they too strove to improve their strength.
One example of famous supreme powerhouses was the supreme powerhouse from Mount Tai’s Zhong clan. However, even his fame and strength were nothing compared to imminent World Supreme Powerhouses like the one in the Linghu clan, let alone World Supreme Powerhouses. After all, imminent Supreme Powerhouses were only second to World Supreme Powerhouses.
“I hope you don’t regret this,” Zhong Yue said coldly before he flew over to join Leng Jing and the other three men. Then, he said to Hu Fei Yan, “Hu Fei Yan, your friend has gone crazy, and I advise you not to get involved.”
Upon hearing these words, Hu Fei Yan smiled slightly and said, “Zhong Yue, you just said that he’s my friend, right? How can I not do anything and watch my friend fight?”
Following that, Hu Fei Yan’s Divine Energy, which had been imbued with the law of space, surged forth, causing the void to ripple. Although she felt pressured by her opponents, she was not afraid. After all, she had her trump cards as well.
