Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Impossible!” Upon hearing somebody mentioned that Duan Ling Tian might have mastered a high-grade offensive Divine Ability, another Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciple quickly refuted him. “It’s certain that Duan Ling Tian’s movement Divine Ability is a high-grade Divine Ability. His assist-type Divine Ability that raises his strength is also most likely a high-grade Divine Ability as well! The fact that he could master two high-grade Divine Abilities is considered as very lucky and rare. How can all of you even think he has mastered a third high-grade Divine Ability? Aren’t all of you thinking too much? Do all of you think high-grade Divine Abilities are so easily found like vegetables in the market?” The Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciple spoke passionately.

As soon as he finished speaking, many Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples agreed with him. “That’s right! It’s impossible for Duan Ling Tian to master a third high-grade Divine Ability!”

“It’s not easy to master so many high-grade Divine Abilities. Take Senior Brother Yuan Hong as an example, despite his cultivation base at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage, he still hasn’t mastered a high-grade Divine Ability.”

“It seems like Duan Ling Tian is going to be defeated soon!”

“If he’s defeated, he’s doomed! Senior Brother Yuan Hong might not kill or maim him due to the sect’s rules, but he would beat Duan Ling Tian up to the point where he would wish for death instead!”

“Looks like Senior Brother Yuan Hong planned to seek revenge for his Grand Master to get into his master’s good grace!”

“Poor Duan Ling Tian. Just like that, he has innocently become a tool for Yuan Hong to use to get into his master’s good grace!”

Based on the discussion among the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples, it was obvious they felt that Duan Ling Tian was going to be defeated by Yuan Hong and he would suffer from humiliation and defeat to the point that he would wish for death!

When the small number of Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples who felt that there was a possibility that Duan Ling Tian had mastered a high-grade offensive Divine Ability heard the other disciples’ words, some of them began to change their minds. However, there were some who stood by their opinion.

Naturally, they did not voice it out loud. If they were to do that now, they would definitely be verbally attacked by the other Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples.

Yuan Kuang relaxed when he saw Yuan Hong sent Duan Ling Tian flying with a blast with just a low. After that, he turned to look at Gu Li whom he was still holding and sneered as he said, “Gu Li, did you see that? So what if Duan Ling Tian is much faster than my big brother? Even if he has the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword in his hand, he’s still no match for my brother when it comes to a direct fight!”

Gu Li’s expression was grave. There hints of worries in his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, seize this chance when your assist-type Divine Ability is still in effect. Hurry up and leave the Vermilion Bird Sanctum! Don’t ever come back again! At the very least don’t come back until you’re stronger than Yuan Hong!” Gu Li quickly transmitted his voice to Duan Ling Tian in urgency.

However, he did not receive any response at all. It was as though Duan Ling Tian did not hear his Voice Transmission.

Gu Li continued to transmit his voice, but he still did not receive any response.

“What’s Junior Brother Ling Tian trying to do?!” Gu Li was extremely anxious that he could not stop clenching his teeth.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, the Golden Crow’s Wings behind Duan Ling Tian flapped without warning, causing the air in the surroundings to stir violently.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

When the air stir violently, the thunderous sound of air explosions reverberated in the air.

Swish!

At the same time, under the watchful gaze of the crowds, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have transformed into a sharp arrow as he soared up disappeared in the horizon.

Upon seeing this, Gu Li sighed in relief. He thought Duan Ling Tian had taken his advice and was leaving the Vermilion Bird Sanctum.

“Trying to flee?!” Yuan Hong smirked coldly before soaring up into the sky as well to chase after Duan Ling Tian. He also disappeared into the horizon.

“Come on! Let’s go and have a look!” At the same time, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples were also prepared to fly into the sky to watch the show.

However, just as they were about to fly up, they suddenly stopped. Not only that, they were staring at the horizon with their mouths agape. To be more precise, they were staring in shock at a group of clouds by the horizon.

Behind the cloud, stood Duan Ling Tian whom they thought had fled.

Not only that, he seemed to be holding onto somebody in his hand. Upon closer inspection, they saw it was Yuan Hong.

At this moment, Yuan Hong was bleeding profusely from three holes on his body. He was passed out, and Duan Ling Tian held onto him like a potato sack.

The reason they knew Yuan Hong had only passed out because they could see he was still breathing.

The entire place fell silent, Yuan Hong’s breathing sounded particularly loud.

The scene of Duan Ling Tian carrying Yuan Hong like a potato sack seemed very familiar to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples present on the scene.

At the same time, many Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples shifted their attention to Yuan Kuang who was standing nearby and carrying Gu Li. They looked at him weirdly.

No matter how they looked at it, they felt that Duan Ling Tian had intentionally held onto Yuan Hong like how Yuan Kuang was holding Gu Li.

“How’s this possible?” Most of them were shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s strength.

Based on the current situation, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian was stronger than Yuan Hong. Otherwise, how could Yuan Hong be defeated?

When Yuan Kuang saw Yuan Hong who had passed out and being carried by Duan Ling Tian like a sack of potatoes, he cried out in disbelief, “Big brother!”

When he looked at Duan Ling Tian again, a hint of terror could be seen in his eyes.

It did not cross his mind that Duan Ling Tian was stronger than his big brother, Yuan Hong!

“Don’t tell me he really mastered another high-grade offensive Divine Ability?” The Vermillion Bird Sanctum’s disciples began to whisper among themselves again. They felt certain Duan Ling Tian had indeed mastered a high-grade offensive Divine Ability. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to overpower Yuan Hong.

“Freak! To think that he has actually mastered three high-grade Divine Abilities!”

“He’s only an Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. If he has a green Innate Spiritual Root or higher, his future would have been very bright. What a pity!”

“It’s indeed a pity! There’s a big possibility that someone with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root won’t be able to break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage. Even if he’s lucky enough to enter the Quintessential Saint Stage, there’s no chance of him breaking through to the Saint Celestial Stage! A person with a green Spiritual Root, on the other hand, would definitely be able to enter the Saint Celestial Stage and become a true powerhouse in our Fire Worship Sect!”

“If this Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base breaks through to the Saint Celestial Stage, coupled with the three Divine Abilities he mastered, an ordinary Saint Celestial Stage won’t stand a chance against him at all!”

“What a pity that he’s just a commoner who possesses a yellow Innate Spiritual Root!”

When the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples discussed about Duan Ling Tian’s yellow Innate Spiritual Root, they shook their heads in pity.

Duan Ling Tian managed to master three high-grade Divine Abilities, but he only had a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. Most people would find this pitiful.

“Release your grip!” As Duan Ling Tian descended from the sky while holding the unconscious Yuan Hong, he shouted without warning as he looked at Yuan Kuang.

As he shouted, his left eye, the Strange Pupil, flashed and shot out a dragon-form Soul Attack.

The Soul Attack flew across the sky and entered Yuan Kuang’s body swiftly, crashing against his soul violently. At this moment, he instinctively let go of the hand that was holding on to Gu Li.

Now that Yuan Kuang released his hand, Gu Li finally regained his freedom. Nobody was restricting the Saint Energy in his body any longer.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian!” After he regained his freedom, Gu Li did not lose his rationality. He immediately flew to Duan Ling Tian’s side. He sighed in relief since he knew he was free from danger for now.

Duan Ling Tian’s true cultivation base was merely at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage and so was his soul.

For this reason, the Soul Attack that was cast by his current soul was not enough to destroy Yuan Kuang’s soul!

Yuan Kuang was a true Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, and his soul was more powerful than Duan Ling Tian.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian had no intention of killing Yuan Kuang when he cast the Soul Attack. He merely wanted Yuan Kuang to release Gu Li.

Although he knew Yuan Kuang did not dare to kill Gu Li, Duan Ling Tian did not want to see Gu Li being Yuan Kuang’s control. In his opinion, it was a passive position, and it was a position he hated.

Soon after, Yuan Kuang regained his consciousness and discovered Gu Li was no longer in his grasp. Horror dawned on him immediately.

He took a deep breath and looked at Duan Ling Tian before he said coldly, “Let go of my brother, Duan Ling Tian!”

“Let go of your brother? Why should I?” Duan Ling Tian smiled nonchalantly.

His smile looked sinister, sending shivers running up Yuan Kuang’s spine.

“What can you do if you don’t let go? Don’t tell me you dare to kill my brother?” Yuan Kuang asked in a deep voice.

“As a matter of fact, you’re right. I intend to kill your brother!” Duan Ling Tian sneered as his eyes flashed coldly.

“You won’t be able to live if you kill my brother!” Upon hearing his statement, Yuan Kuang’s eyes narrowed. At the same time, he said coldly, “Don’t forget the rules of the Fire Worship Sect!”

Creak!

As the moment Yuan Kuang uttered the word ‘rule’, a noise sounded.

Duan Ling Tian had twisted Yuan Hong’s neck.

It was simple and straightforward!

Swish! Swish!

As Duan Ling Tian twisted Yuan Hong’s neck, he did not forget to stab him twice.

The first stab shattered Yuan Hong’s soul.

The second stab pierced through Yuan Hong’s heart.

At this moment, even if a deity descended from the sky, he would not be able to save Yuan Hong!

The entire place fell silent when Yuan Hong was killed.

The Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples stared at the scene before them with their mouth agape. They did not think Duan Ling Tian would disregard the sect’s rules and kill Yuan Hong.

Yuan Kuan who was pale with an expression of disbelief on his face finally regained his senses. He looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was looking at a ghost as he said in a trembling voice, “Y-You actually d-dare to kill my brother? Y-You’re dead! You’re dead!” His tone was filled with grief when he spoke.
