Chapter 2224 The Fairest Among the Human-Devils 

The crowd fell silent immediately as soon as Duan Ling Tian spoke up. “I’ll ask you cats and dogs again… Do you want to kill me?”

The onlookers looked at Duan Ling Tian as though they had seen a ghost. Was this guy crazy? Even at this time, he dared to challenge these three disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace!

Just a moment ago, the three Wandering Saint Palace’s disciples were completely enraged when someone in the crowd said they were like cats and dogs, essentially calling them Tom, Dick, and Harry. However, there was nothing they could do since they could not find the person who had spoken.

However, Duan Ling Tian was bold enough to call these three disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace cats and dogs again in front of everyone. For a moment, Duan Ling Tian earned the admiration of the onlookers for his courage. Naturally, there were a few that felt he was only seeking death.

Huang Qi Ling who was stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s recklessness regained his senses and cried out, “Brother Ling Tian!” His expression was extremely grim. He knew the temperaments of these three men very well. Since Duan Ling Tian had provoked them, they would definitely not spare his life.

At this moment, the three disciples from influential families in the Wandering Saint Palace regained their senses as well. They had a furious expression on their faces. They began to speak up in unison

“You punk, you’re seeking death!!!”

“You’re courting death!!”

“Go to hell!”

The three made their move immediately. A gust of wind blew past everyone as they charged murderously toward Duan Ling Tian at lightning speed. A powerhouse at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage Fifth Form and two powerhouses at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage rushed toward him without holding back.

The attacks from these three men materialized in different colors and forms. Their attacks were formidable and aggressive. It seemed like they would not stop until Duan Ling Tian was dead.

Whoosh!

An immensely strong Saint Origin shot out from a seven-foot-long pike when it moved. The energy it shot out whistled in the air. It seemed as though it was capable of piercing through anything.

Boom!

Another terrifying attack came from the fists of one of the three men. Saint Origin shrouded the gloves on his hands, and when he punched out, a thunderous roar accompanied his attack.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The final attack came from a man who wielded a broadsword. Wind blew in the broadsword’s wake. The saber ray it shot out was intricate and complex. To untrained eyes, it looked messy and chaotic. However, the truth was it concealed a peerless power.

Huang Qi Ling had a horrified expression on his face as he hurriedly cried out, “Brother Ling Tian, be careful!” It was too late for him to make a move to save Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, he was not as strong as the three men. It was, naturally, impossible for him to save Duan Ling Tian.

“Well, let’s see who’s going to die!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression was cold as he looked at the three men charging at him. At this moment, the Sun Saint Origin in his body circulated in his 99 Saint Veins before it surged out and gathered in his right arm. After that, he raised his hand and pointed with his index finger.

Suddenly…

Swish!

The sound of sword whistling in the air could be heard as sword qi shot out of Duan Ling Tian’s index finger. The sword qi cut through the sky, it was as bright and sharp as a shooting star as it flashed across the night sky. The sword qi instantly destroyed the attack of one of the men from the Wandering Saint Palace, killing him in the process. The sword qi pierced through his glabella. Blood splattered in the air as his soul was obliterated. The disciple from the Wandering Saint Palace who was at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was dead!

“This…”

At this moment, the crowd finally regained their senses. All of them had a shocked expression on their faces when they realized the disciple from the Wandering Saint Palace had died. Even Huang Qi Ling was shocked speechless. He was surprised Duan Ling Tian could hold his own against the three men.

What shocked Huang Qi Ling and the people present even more was after killing one of the three disciples of Wandering Saint Palace, the sword qi that was fired from Duan Ling Tian’s fingertips unexpectedly released another whistling sound. After a brief moment, they saw that the other disciple at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage had also died!

In just a blink of an eye, only one out of three disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace was left!

Although the remaining disciple of the Wandering Saint Palace was at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, his expression changed drastically when he saw the power of the sword qi that shot out of Duan Ling Tian’s index finger. Duan Ling Tian did not even use any Saint Weapon to kill two powerhouses at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. “This… How’s this possible!?” He had lost his confidence as a powerhouse at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Moreover, fear began to rise from the depth of his heart. Alarm bells began to ring in his mind.

Whoosh!

The quick whistling sound of the sword qi rang again.

Upon hearing the whistling sound, the crowd of people widened their eyes in confusion. Their hearts were in turmoil. “There’s still more!?”

The fleeting sword qi, as if guided by a divine entity, shot toward the powerhouse at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

There was no doubt the disciple from the Wandering Saint Palace who was at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage could not avoid the sword qi. He trembled in fear when he heard the whistling sound.

The expression of the powerhouse at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage turned terrified as he screamed, “No!!!” At this moment, his life was hanging on a fine thread. He thought he was definitely going to die since the sword qi was traveling at the speed of light toward him. Moreover, it was locked on him like a missile. He did not think he would be able to avoid this attack so he did not bother trying to escape at all. Moreover, he was rooted to the spot out of fear. It felt as though his legs had turned to lead. All of this was his own doing, it had nothing to do with Duan Ling Tian.

At the moment when Duan Ling Tian’s sword qi was about to kill the Wandering Saint Palace’s disciple at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of wind howling was accompanied by a shower of daggers. It appeared to flank the disciple at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, fending off Duan Ling Tian’s attack. The shower of daggers crushed the sword qi in just an instant.

Against all odds, the disciple from the Wandering Saint Palace who was at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage managed to escape death!

“Who is it!?” Duan Ling Tian was momentarily stunned. He quickly regained his senses and looked up into the sky.

A figure hovered in the air. There was no doubt the shower of daggers came from this person.

At the same time, the crowd followed Duan Ling Tian’s line of sight and looked into the sky as well.

The figure belonged to a woman dressed in a robe as white as snow. Her hair was silky and straight. Although only her back could be seen, she emanated a cold aura that prevented people from getting close to her.

As soon as Huang Qi Ling saw the back view of the figure, his eyes widened and he instantly cried out after bowing respectfully, “Sister Wen Jing!”

“Sister Wen Jing?” The disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace who was at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage recovered from his shock of almost being killed by Duan Ling Tian when he heard Huang Qi Ling’s voice. He turned look at the woman who had just saved him. The instant he saw the woman, the fear in his eyes vanished and was replaced by joy and excitement. In the next moment, his expression turned solemn as he said, “Sister Wen Jing, you have to avenge Qi Gang and Yuji!” As he spoke, he pointed at Duan Ling Tian and said angrily, “It’s him! He’s the one who killed Qi Gang and Yu Ji!”

Lin Qi Gang and Situ Yu Ji were the two powerhouses at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage from the Wandering Saint Palace whom Duan Ling Tian had killed.

“He’s also friends with Huang Qi Ling… Huang Qi Ling is trying to revolt. He’s planning to join forces with outsiders to kill the disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace!” He accused Huang Qi Ling.

While the disciple at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was loudly accusing Huang Qi Ling, many people began to recognize the women dressed in the snowy white robe.

“It’s Huang Wen Jing!” Many people could recognize her even though only her back could be seen.

“Huang Wen Jing?”

A commotion broke out when the crowd heard Huang Wen Jing’s name.

Everyone present was familiar with Huang Wen Jing’s name. She was famous in the Human-Devil clan for being the number one prodigy among the younger generation in the Wandering Saint Palace. Her cultivation base was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Rumor had it that she was close to breaking through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Apart from her impressive talent and strength, she was also known as a peerless beauty among Human-Devils. She was the fairest of all the Human-Devils.

“This woman is Huang Wen Jing? The fairest among the Human-Devils, and the number one prodigy among the younger generation in the Wandering Saint Palace?”

The eyes of the Human-Devils lit up, especially the males. Their eyes gleamed with desire as they looked at Huang Wen Jing’s back. Their reaction was extremely obvious.

However, soon after, they were forced to look away. This was because as they gazed at Huang Wen Jing’s back, they felt her release her aura that sent chills running up their spines. It felt as though winter had arrived. In just a matter of seconds, the burning desire in their hearts completely vanished! When they looked at her again, their eyes were filled with dread and fear. None of them dared to act disrespectfully again.

Huang Qi Ling’s expression changed immediately when he heard the disciple at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage falsely accusing him. He quickly explained, “Sister Wen Jing, don’t listen to his lies! He Sen Jie, Lin Qi Gang, and Situ Yu Ji wanted to kill Brother Ling Tian first. Brother Ling Tian only killed them in defense!”

When Huang Qi Ling finished speaking, a distressed expression could be seen on his face as panic rose in his heart when he looked at Huang Wen Jing’s back.
