Chapter 2186 Leng Ying“s Strength
In the beginning, Dong Yuan Jin had thought Duan Ling Tian’s strength was at the peak of the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, similar to the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall. When he discovered the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he thought the Hall Master would be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian easily! However, based on the situation, it seemed like he was wrong.
Duan Ling Tian’s strength was not as simple as being at the peak of the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! If his strength was only at the peak of the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, how could he possibly sever Dong Yuan Jin’s arm in front of the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall? Moreover, even the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall could not react in time.
“Lord Hall Master!” Dong Yuan Jin cried out. He quickly stopped the bleeding on his arm before he hastily flew away. He did not even dare to grab his arm that had been severed. He only sighed in relief when he stood behind Leng Ying. To him, Leng Ying was the only one that could save him now. If Leng Ying could not save him, the only outcome for him was death!
Leng Ying shouted angrily, “Duan Ling Tian!” Saint Origin began to rise from his body as wind began to blow violently, causing people’s robes to flutter loudly.
Some people with weaker cultivation bases were forced to retreat by the wind.
“This is the power of a powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?”
When the crowd had retreated to a safe distance, they looked at Leng Ying. Apart from shock, a hint of reverence could be seen in their eyes.
“Lord Hall Master is really angry now!” Many of them felt the change in Leng Ying’s mood.
Leng Ying looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly. He did not think Duan Ling Tian would be so audacious as to sever the limb of his subordinate in front of him, the Hall Master. He was furious! Although Duan Ling Tian’s attack was powerful, it was not to the extent that it scared him. If it was before, perhaps, he would have been wary. However, he had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! With the various techniques he had mastered a long time ago, he believed he was even stronger than Hong Yun, one of the Guardians of Fire Worship Sect. He was confident he could defeat an ordinary powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He thought he could not react in time earlier because he was caught off-guard. After all, he did not think Duan Ling Tian would dare to attack Dong Yuan Jin in front of him. When he recovered from his shock, it was too late for him to save Dong Yuan Jin.
Swoosh!
Leng Ying made his move.
Boom!
As soon as Leng Ying attacked, the sound of explosions rang in the air and the earth began to quake.
Some of the people with weaker cultivation bases were bleeding from their ears. It was obvious their eardrums were injured.
With the help of his movement Divine Ability, Leng Yin flew out. At the same time, he cast his assist-type Divine Ability to raise his Saint Origin. After his Saint Origin had been raised, it was close to the level of a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! Apart from that, he held a seven-foot-long spear in his hand.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
Leng Yin spun the long spear in his hand so fast that a whizzing sound could be heard in the air. The spear emitted a destructive aura immediately.
“Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon!” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. He knew the seven-foot-long spear in Leng Ying’s hand was a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon.
“Duan Ling Tian, I don’t know how you became as strong as a powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in just a few years, but if you think you can act wantonly in my Enforcement Hall with just this bit of strength, you’re gravely mistaken!” Leng Ying said icily.
The crowd shivered when they heard Leng Ying’s voice. People with a lower cultivation base felt as though it was winter.
Leng Ying continued to move and he held onto his Thousand Inscriptions Saint Spear.
Swoosh!
The Thousand Inscriptions Saint Spear sliced across the sky. Like an enraged dragon charging out with its mouth wide open, it slashed at Duan Ling Tian!
No wonder he’s so confident. The Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall might be stronger than Guardian Hong Yun!
This is because the Divine Abilities he has mastered are much more powerful than the Divine Abilities that Guardian Hong Yun mastered! He might not be a match for her before he broke through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Now that he has, Guardian Hong Yun is probably no match for him.’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He compared Hong Yun, one of the three Great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect, whom he defeated to Leng Ying, the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, and discovered Leng Ying was stronger than Hong Yun.
“No wonder he dares to attack even though I’ve displayed strength at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage when I severed Dong Yuan Jin’s arm earlier. As it turns out, he’s confident because of the Divine Abilities he has mastered!’ Duan Ling Tian managed to figure things out.
The strength of a powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage depended on the Divine Abilities he had mastered. The more powerful the Divine Abilities, the stronger one would be. Based on this, Leng Ying’s strength was definitely very strong.
No wonder he was widely acknowledged as the most powerful person under the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! Hall Master Leng Ying is indeed remarkable!1 Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!
As Leng Ying charged out, he spun the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Spear in his hand again. Moreover, it seemed as though the speed had picked up as well. A whizzing noise could be heard in the wake of the spear.
A thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind just as Leng Ying’s spear was descending on him from the sky.
“Even if this offensive martial tactic Leng Ying mastered hasn’t reached the peak of ordinary martial tactics in the mundane realm, it’s quite close to it. Coupled with his offensive Divine Ability, it’s so powerful that I’m quite certain not many powerhouses below the Eight Form of the Saint Celestial could withstand a direct blow from him!’ Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes.
The spear glinted in the sun as it continued its descent from the sky like an energetic dragon.
“Lord Hall Master is going all out!” At the same time, the Vice Hall Masters in the Enforcement Hall, including Jiang Qin, had a solemn expression on their faces.
If somebody told them the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall had to unleash all his strength to fight a true disciple, they would not have believed it. It was absurd. However, the truth was laid bare before their eyes. They had no choice but to believe it.
“Lord Hall Master…” Dong Yuan Jin who was standing near Leng Ying looked at the scene before him hopefully. He prayed fervently that Leng Ying would be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian. It would be even better if Leng Yin could kill Duan Ling Tian. It would be good if Leng Yin won the battle. He would be doomed if Duan Ling Tian won.
Ah, I really regret it! Why didn’t I personally kill him back then?!” Dong Yuan Jin thought to himself. He was filled with regrets. At that time, Duan Ling Tian was nothing but an ant compared to him. He even thought it would dirty his hands if he had to personally kill Duan Ling Tian. However, the person whom he regarded as an ant was now strong enough to easily kill him. If God gave him another chance, he would spare no efforts in killing Duan Ling Tian before he could turn into a threat! Unfortunately, this was only his wishful thinking. At this moment, he could only rely on Leng Ying to stop Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, he would be doomed.
“Hall Master Leng Ying, your attack is, indeed, extraordinary! I’m certain not many people below the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage could withstand it!” Duan Ling Tian said loudly.
Everyone heard his voice.
Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “Unfortunately, those people who can’t withstand your attack don’t include me!”
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, his Sun Saint Origin that had been raised by the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, surged out suddenly into the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword that had returned to his hand.
