“However, one thing’s for certain, he has not broken through to the Saint Stage.” Duan Ling Tian was sure about this.
Put everything else aside, Saint Stage powerhouses had a different aura.
‘It seems like the strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking is not an amateur… His reputation as the strongest person below the Saint Stage in Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion is indeed well deserved!’ Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath. He no longer dared to underestimate Lin Dong.
After a few moments, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the two Territories finished forming at almost the same time and collided with one another.
One of them had tens of thousands of sword rays inside, causing the area around it to look like a world of swords.
The other Territory had hundreds of spinning whirlpools laced with green auras. The whirlpools were spinning so rapidly that it seemed as though it could devour anything.
It was as though fire and water had collided when the two Territories clashed.
“I didn’t expect your Territory to be evenly matched with mine… I’ve underestimated you.” After looking at the scene, Lin Dong had surprised expression on his face.
When the second strongest person on the Heaven Ranking challenged him in the past, his Territory had easily suppressed his opponent’s Territory. However, his Territory could not gain any advantage over Duan Ling Tian’s Territory.
“Your Territory has also exceeded my expectation,” Duan Ling Tian said mildly.
Although Duan Ling Tian did not gain any advantage from his Territory, he was not bothered about it. After all, this was not the only thing he excelled at.
Lin Dong was extremely annoyed by Duan Ling Tian’s calmness. “Do you really think you can compete with me just because your Territory is evenly matched with mine? How naïve!”
In fact, he had heard that Duan Ling Tian’s strongest move was his Territory. Therefore, he was not too surprised when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s Territory was evenly matched with his Territory because he had been mentally prepared.
As the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking and the strongest person below the Saint Stage in Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion, he had more than just a powerful Territory.
Hu!
At this instant, steel claws appeared on Lin Dong’s right arm as though it was attached to his arm. It glinted under the sunlight, looking as though it was able to tear through anything.
This was obviously his Saint Weapon!
Sou!
Lin Dong moved suddenly. It was as though he had transformed into a gust of wind as he traveled into the world of swords and whirlpools. After a few moments, he arrived near Duan Ling Tian.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
…
Lin Dong lifted his arm with the steel claws, one could see the afterimages of the steel claws as he slashed downward, intending to shred Duan Ling Tian into pieces.
The steel claws moved in the air with a peerless and sharp aura toward Duan Ling Tian’s face. It made him feel as though he was in a mountain of blades and a sea of swords.
However, faced with Lin Dong’s careful attacks, Duan Ling Tian was not fl.u.s.tered at all.
When he raised his arms, one could see he had taken out the Sun Shooting Bow. He solidified his True Energy into an arrow and used the offensive technique, Colossal Aerolite Arrow, Aerolite Shower, immediately.
The sky was instantly filled with arrow rays as though there was a meteor shower.
“Trying to fight me directly with a mere arrow shower?” After sensing the aura from the arrows that filled up the sky, Lin Dong could tell the strength of the attack was not very strong. It was far inferior to his attack.
If they were to clash directly, the one who would lose was Duan Ling Tian.
“Duan Ling Tian’s attack is so weak?” The Aerolite Shower Duan Ling Tian used was a bit disappointing to those Saint Stage powerhouses who were watching.
‘It seems that Duan Ling Tian only has a strong Territory… If it wasn’t for his powerful Territory, it seems like he wouldn’t have been a match for Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect!’ Most people shared the same thought when they saw this.
“Humph! He’s seeking death!” Situ Ming and Ye Feng sneered.
King Qian was also smiling as though he could already see the scene of him obtaining the Devilseal Tablet. He even thought about forcing Saint Stage Devil Cultivators to pledge their allegiance to him with the Devilseal Tablet. If they refused, he would kill them with the tablet. In fact, there were several Saint Stage Devil Cultivators on his opponent, King Rong’s faction. He could kill all of them easily with the Devilseal Tablet.
“Master Duan.” Situ Hao and Situ Hang, both father and sons, looked worried. They could see Duan Ling Tian’s attack was not as strong as Lin Dong’s.
Bai Li Hong and the others were the only ones who looked calm. This was because they saw Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained unchanged. He still carried a confident expression on his face. They trusted Duan Ling Tian unconditionally.
As it turned out, they were not wrong to trust Duan Ling Tian.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Aerolite Shower that was not highly regarded by everyone did not clash with the tens of thousands of claw marks Lin Dong had cast out. Instead, they flew toward Duan Ling Tian rapidly and formed a protective barrier around his body.
The arrows whizzed past and formed a bell-like barrier around Duan Ling Tian.
Colossal Arrow Bell!
Currently, Duan Ling Tian was using the strongest move in the Colossal Aerolite Arrow. It was also a defensive move.
Once the Colossal Arrow Bell appeared, the tens of thousands of claw marks landed on it, setting off tremors.
However, after the claws had disappeared and the tremors had stopped, no damage could be seen on the Colossal Arrow Bell at all.
For a time, the entire place fell silent.
“Such a strong defensive move!”
“This defensive move must be higher than a Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic!”
“Yes. The defensive move Duan Ling Tian used should be comparable to an Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic.”
…
The crowd broke out in an uproar. A few experienced Saint Stage powerhouses could see that Duan Ling Tian’s defensive move was not so simple.
Soon after, a Saint Stage powerhouse cried out in his deep voice, “Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic! He must have cultivated a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic… Only a Top Human Rank Saint Grace Martial Tactic would have such a terrifying defensive move.”
Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic!
After everyone heard that, their eyes immediately lit up.
Although they had never been exposed to a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic, they had heard about it. Like the saying, ‘Even if one has not eaten pork, one must have seen pigs running.’
Generally, a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic would have one move that was stronger than a Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic move. It was comparable to an Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic move that could only be cultivated by a powerhouse whose cultivation base was above the Saint Stage.
Even a fifth-rate force might not own a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic. However, this did not mean that everyone who had cultivated a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic had connections with a fifth-rate or higher force.
There were people who had fortuitous encounters and obtained the inheritance from a former powerhouse. Who knew if there was a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic in the inheritance.
‘Duan Ling Tian actually cultivated a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic!’ Lin Dong’s gaze toward Duan Ling Tian had changed completely.
Even in the Lin Clan, a sixth-rate force, they did not have a Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
A Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic might seem useless to powerhouses above the Saint Stage, but it was highly beneficial to those below the Saint Stage.
‘Duan Ling Tian was probably lucky and came across a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic… Perhaps, King Qian wants me to kill him and s.n.a.t.c.h his Spatial Ring because he wants the Saint Grade Martial Tactic.’ Soon after, Lin Dong recalled his deal with King Qian.
In fact, he was baffled by this matter initially. A prince from the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family wanted the Spatial Ring of an Interim Advisor of a seventh-rate clan.
What was in the Spatial Ring?
He finally figured out King Qian’s motive.
‘King Qian and his wishful thinking… It wouldn’t have mattered if I didn’t figure it out. However, now that I’ve figured it out, I want a share of it! If he’s not willing to share the Saint Grade Martial Tactic with the Lin Clan, he can forget about getting Duan Ling Tian’s Spatial Ring.” Lin Dong made up his mind at this moment.
Up until now, Lin Dong still felt he would be able to obtain Duan Ling Tian’s Spatial Ring.
He did not seem afraid even after Duan Ling Tian had cast the Colossal Arrow Bell that was comparable to an Earth Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic’s defensive move.
‘Duan Ling Tian actually has a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic?’
King Qian stared blankly ahead, shocked. ‘Not only does he have the Devilseal Tablet, but he even has such a Saint Grade Martial Tactic… What kind of fortuitous encounter did he have?’ King Qian was pleasantly surprised.
In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian’s Spatial Ring would belong to him once he died. Naturally, he would possess the Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic as well.
The Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic was an absolutely pleasant surprise.
Currently, most of the people present, including King Rong, was shocked by the fact that Duan Ling Tian owned a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
A hint of greed could be seen in their eyes.
Was there anyone who did not want a Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic? Although it might be useless to Saint Stage powerhouses, their descendants would definitely have use for it.
All Lin Dong wanted now was to bring Duan Ling Tian’s Saint Grade Martial Tactic back to his clan.
He was about to break through to the Saint Stage, a Saint Grade Martial Tactic like this did not interest him. However, if he managed to bring a Saint Grade Martial Tactic like this back to the Lin Clan, he would be able to contribute greatly to the clan. He would be able to make a mark in the clan with something like this.
For the later generation of Lin Clan’s disciples, every time they practiced the Saint Grade Martial Tactic, they would think of him.
Lin Dong’s gaze toward Duan Ling Tian turned even more greedy when he thought of this.
Although his opponent’s defensive move was very strong, he was not worried he would not be able to break the defense because he had two Four Star Saint Inscriptions on his metal claws Saint Weapon!
Once he activated both Four Star Saint Inscriptions, his opponent’s defense would definitely crumble!
“Are you thinking you’ll be able to obtain the Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic I cultivated after you kill me?” Duan Ling Tian asked bluntly when he saw the greed in Lin Dong’s eyes. His eyes flashed coldly.
“So what if I am?” Lin Dong sneered.
