Chapter 2276 Yuwen Hao Chen, Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace!
Swoosh!
The Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword flew through the air like a shooting star, leaving an afterimage in its wake. Sshhh!
A soft sound rustled in the air as the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword pierced the back of Lu Wei’s head as she turned around to flee. The Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword pierced through the back of her head and emerged from her glabella. Blood gushed out from the wound.
Everything happened in just a blink of an eye.
The moment the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword killed Lu Wei, it had also destroyed her soul to prevent her from casting the Soul Detaching Technique. This was to ensure there was no way she would survive.
Lu Wei, the elder of Wandering Saint Palace, who was at the Saint Celestial Stage, had died. Duan Ling Tian had killed her with a move. She did not even have a chance to cast the Soul Detaching Technique.
Duan Ling Tian was able to act so quickly because he had already devoured the Heaven and Earth Spirit from the surroundings to raise his Sun Saint Origin to its limit before he came to Lu Wei’s mansion. With his Sun Saint Origin that had been raised to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and the third stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword, it was extremely easy for him to kill a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
“This…” Huang Qi Ling who was standing nearby saw how Duan Ling Tian had killed Lu Wei. Although he had been mentally prepared for the outcome, he was still stunned speechless. His heart was thumping wildly in his chest as he thought to himself, ‘One sword move… He only used one move…’
Duan Ling Tian had used his sword and killed Lu Wei, an elder of Wandering Saint Palace who was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, with just a move. He made it seem as easy as killing a chicken. Logically, only a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would be capable of a feat like that, right?
At this moment, a figure seemed to appear out of thin air accompanied by a thunderous voice.
“So, you’re Duan Ling Tian?!”
When the figure appeared above the mansion, Huang Qi Ling was momentarily shocked when he saw the figure. He quickly bowed respectfully. “Lord Palace Master!”
At this moment, Huang Qi Ling remembered a voice had called out to stop Duan Ling Tian when he was attacking Lu Wei. However, Duan Ling Tian did not heed the order and killed Lu Wei. The person who had tried to stop Duan Ling Tian had to be the Palace Master.
Based on the chilly aura the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace emitted, Huang Qi Ling knew he was not just annoyed. He was truly furious.
Logically, Lord Palace Master won’t harm Brother Ling Tian since he plans to join the Wandering Saint Palace. After all, Brother Ling Tian is stronger than the combined strength of Elder Lu Wei and Elder Lin Yuan,’ Huang Qi Ling thought in an attempt to comfort himself.
After Duan Ling Tian put Lu Wei’s Spatial Ring away, he noticed the figure that seemed to appear out of thin air. He had overheard Huang Qi Ling’s conversation with this person so he knew who the newcomer was. “The Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace?”
Duan Ling Tian looked at the newcomer. The Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace was a middle-aged man with an average stature. He wore a silver robe. Although there was nothing special about his appearance, his aura was intimidating. One could tell from his aura alone that he held a high position.
At this moment, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace was staring coldly at Duan Ling Tian. Even his aura was extremely cold. “So, you’re Duan Ling Tian?” He said again. His voice was so cold that it made one feel as though they were in a snowy tundra.
Duan Ling Tian remained calm when faced with the famous Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace. He replied in a neither arrogant nor servile tone, “Yes.” He did not think there was a need to humble himself before the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace since his current strength was almost on par with a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
“Since Elder Lin Yuan took the initiative to attack you, it’s fair that you killed him. However, Elder Lu Wei didn’t look for trouble with you, and yet, you intentionally came to her mansion just to kill her. Do you think the Wandering Saint Palace is an easy target?” The Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace said coldly, his tone became harsher as he spoke.
Even Huang Qi Ling’s expression changed drastically when he heard the Palace Master’s words. He felt as though he had fallen into a river during winter when the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace spoke.
On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian, the person involved, remained calm and unaffected. He said, “Palace Master Yuwen, your words seem quite unreasonable… I’ve always lived by the principle of not looking for trouble with people if they don’t look for trouble with me. I’m not the kind to kill without a reason. In my opinion, she deserves to be killed… I’m sure Palace Master Yu Wen is clear about what kind of person that old lady was…” As he spoke, he stared unflinchingly at the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace without any fear as though he was exerting his dominance.
When Duan Ling Tian arrived at the Human-Devil Saint City, he had heard many stories about the leaders of the nine strongest forces in the Human-Devil clan, the Three Palaces and Six Halls. Naturally, he had also heard about the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace.
The name of the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace was Yuwen Hao Chen. Most people addressed him as Palace Master Yuwen.
When Yuwen Hao Chen heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he had a fake smile on his face. He said mockingly, “What a great principle! You won’t look for trouble with someone if they don’t look for trouble with you, and you don’t kill without a reason! What a great excuse! I’d like to see what makes you think you can act as you please and kill my people in my Wandering Saint Palace.”
The moment Yuwen Hao Chen finished speaking, he disappeared from where he stood.
Naturally, it only seemed like Yuwen Hao Chen had disappeared without a trace to Huang Qi Ling. To Duan Ling Tian, he could clearly see Yuwen Hao Chen was charging toward him like a cannonball. At the same time, Yuwen Hao Chen’s originally average build began to grow.
Yuwen Hao Chen who was still a distance away from Duan Ling Tian momentarily stunned Duan Ling Tian with his transformation. “What technique is this?” Yuwen Hao Chen’s average build had transformed into a muscular build in just a blink of an eye.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was still aware of the danger ahead even though he was stunned. He did not dare to underestimate his opponent.
When Yuwen Hao Chen whose robe currently looked too tight on him due to his muscular body was fast approaching Duan Ling Tian, he quickly cast his movement Divine Ability and released the Sun Saint Origin he had raised to the limit in his body. “Golden Crow Wings!”
Swoosh!
In just a blink of an eye, a pair of flaming wings sprouted from Duan Ling Tian’s back. He only flapped his wings once, and it took him away swiftly to avoid Yuwen Hao Chen’s attack.
“Brother Ling Tian has disappeared as well!” As soon as Duan Ling Tian made his move, he disappeared from Huang Qi Ling’s sight as well.
“How fast!” Naturally, Huang Qi Ling knew that the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace and Duan Ling Tian did not really disappear. It was just that their speed was so fast that it was difficult for his naked eyes to follow their movements.
The Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace is even stronger than the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect and the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
Yuwen Hao Chen continued to pursue Duan Ling Tian who dodged his attack with the movement Divine Ability, the Golden Crow’s Wings. When he noticed Yuwen Hao Chen was fast closing the gap between them, his expression turned grim.
If this goes on, it’s only a matter of time before he catches up to me! It seems inevitable that we would need to fight.’ When Duan Ling Tian thought of this, he quickly turned around in mid-air and raised his arm as the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword appeared in his hand.
Sword Defending Art!’ The Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand flew out with just a thought accompanied by a sword cry.
“He’s really fast with his sword. It’s no wonder he had easily killed Elder Lu Wei with just a move. Elder Lu Wei didn’t even have a chance to cast the Soul Detaching Technique!”
Although Duan Ling Tian’s Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword attack was very fast, it was not difficult for Yuwen Hao Chen to deal with it. He was not intimidated by the attack at all.
This Duan Ling Tian has probably just broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, his strength still hasn’t stabilized. However, it’s undeniable that he’s at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!’ Yuwen Hao Chen thought to himself as he raised his hand and gathered his Saint Origin in his hand. His Saint Origin swept out and it felt as though his Saint Origin resonated with heaven and earth.
Suddenly…
Whoosh!
Yuwen Hao Chen’s right hand moved and his Saint Origin that resonated with heaven and earth shot out of his five fingers like ribbons. The entire move was executed gracefully.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A buzzing sound rang in the air as Yuwen Hao Chen clawed at the space in front of him. All of a sudden, a sword appeared in his hand. The sword’s aura was extremely intimidating. It shook violently in Yuwen Hao Chen’s hand as though it was trying to break out of his clutch. However, despite its struggle, it failed to break free of his vice-like grip.
This sword was none other than Duan Ling Tian’s Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword that he had wielded with the third stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword.
“His comprehension of heaven and earth has reached such a high level!?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened when he saw this.
