Chapter 1897: Yang Wu’s Death


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


Li An knew very well if he intervened in the Death Duel between Duan Ling Tian and Yang Wu, he would definitely be expelled by the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect!


Would he risk he getting expelled from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect for Yang Wu? Of course not!


Even if it was his biological son, he would not do anything to break the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s rules, let alone for his friend’s son.


Publicly intervening in a Death Duel and bringing shame to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was one of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s taboos.


“Duan Ling Tian!” Although he did not dare to outwardly intervene, he still secretly transmitted his voice to Duan Ling Tian, “Let him go! Otherwise, you’ll definitely regret it!”


The moment he opened his mouth, he threatened Duan Ling Tian in a near-commanding tone as he told him to let go of Yang Wu.


“Regret it?” Upon hearing Li An’s Voice Transmission, Duan Ling Tian turned his head and s.h.i.+fted his gaze in a neither hurried nor slow manner to Li An.


Duan Ling Tian sneered as he said loudly, “Elder Li An, if I’m not mistaken, the Death Duel is between me and Yang Wu! I wonder what you’re trying to do by transmitting your voice to me and asking me to let Yang Wu go? You said I’ll regret it if I don’t let go… I wonder, Elder Li An, how am I going to regret it?” When Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he stared at Li An.


Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, a commotion instantly broke out.


Many people turned to look at Li An. Their eyes were filled with contempt, hatred, and rage. At this instant, Li An was the target of everyone’s hate. This was because he had threatened Duan Ling Tian.


“Is he really the strongest Silver Flame Elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect?”


“To think that he actually dares to intervene in this matter in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. He’s really a disgrace to the Black Turtle Sanctum and the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect!”


“If Duan Ling Tian did not reveal this, I would be unaware that a supposedly awe-inspiring Silver Flame Elder of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect would have such a character. How revolting!”


After a while, many of those who were brave began to rebuke Li An loudly and expressed their dissatisfaction with him.


Li An had enraged the crowd!


“Elder Li An, it’s a little inappropriate for you to do this, right?” Teng Shan asked in his deep voice as he looked at Li An with a frown on his face.


“Elder Teng Shan, he’s merely slandering me! You actually fell for it?” Li An asked in return, unwilling to admit he had been outdone by Duan Ling Tian.


At the same time, Li An looked at Duan Ling Tian and snorted coldly. “Duan Ling Tian, do you know what punishment comes with the crime of slandering a Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s elder? If you don’t want to die, you better obediently shut your mouth!” Li An said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian with killing intent in his eyes.


He wanted to scare Duan Ling Tian because it did not cross his mind that Duan Ling Tian would reveal his words through Voice Transmission. It felt as though Duan Ling Tian had torn down the mask he had put on.


“Duan Ling Tian, if you don’t want to die, you better obediently shut your mouth!” At the same time, Li An did not forget to threaten Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission again. “Don’t think I’m joking! If you don’t keep quiet, you’ll definitely die even if you enter the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect! I, Li An, am the First Silver Flame Elder of the Black Turtle Sanctum of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, it would be easy for me to kill you!” Li An’s voice turned colder and colder as he spoke.


When Li An thought Duan Ling Tian would be cowed by his threats, Duan Ling Tian laughed out loud.


Then, Duan Ling Tian looked at Li An whose expression was grave and said, “Elder Li An, you keep saying that I’m slandering you. Why don’t we swear on the lightning penalty oath so everyone can see who’s telling the truth and who’s lying?”


Lightning penalty oath!


The moment Duan Ling Tian’s words left his mouth, Li An’s expression turned even graver.


Everyone turned to look at Li An to see if he dared to swear on the lightning penalty oath to prove his innocence. If he did not dare to do it, it would mean he was guilty!


Under the watchful eyes of the others, Li An looked at Duan Ling Tian in disdain and said scornfully, “Who are you to think that you’re worthy for me to swear on the lightning penalty oath for?”


The moment his words left his mouth, the people began to boo Li An.


Although Li An put on a dignified air when he spoke, most people knew Li An must be afraid to swear on the lightning penalty oath because he was guilty. He only said such words as an excuse.


The instant Li An heard the commotion, he no longer dared to threaten Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission.


However, he was standing from afar and was staring at Duan Ling Tian with a cold gaze that was filled with hatred that seemed like it would never go away until the day he died.


Naturally, Duan Ling Tian noticed Li An’s gaze, but he was not bothered by it. This was because he already knew very well when he called Li An an old dog, he had already offended Li An to the point of no return.


He did not regret this.


If Teng Shan did not make a move to block Li An’s attack, he would have been killed by Li An.


At that time, Li An did not show any mercy at all. It was obvious he intended to kill him.


He had never met Li An before this, and yet, Li An still wanted to kill him.


How could he not be furious?


For this reason, from that moment onward, he had regarded Li An as his enemy.


Why would he care about Li An’s threats?


“D-Duan Ling Tian… P-Please… Let m-me go…. I-I b-beg you… ” At the same time, Yang Wu whose neck was gripped by Duan Ling Tian coughed and spluttered as he begged Duan Ling Tian to spare his life when he realized it was impossible for Li An to save him.


Where did his arrogance go at this moment?


“I can’t believe it would end this way. If you didn’t witness it personally, you wouldn’t have believed it!”


“That’s right! At the start of the Death Duel, almost everybody felt that Duan Ling Tian would definitely die… Who would expect that he managed to turn the situation around? Not only did he easily defeat Yang Wu and overpower him, but he even holds Yang Wu’s life in his hands!”


“It’s completely unbelievable that Duan Ling Tian is only a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage!”


“Nonsense! From the current strength he demonstrates, how can he possibly be a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage? He’s more like a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage!”


Everyone gasped when they heard Yang Wu begging forgiveness from Duan Ling Tian when they recalled how arrogantly he had acted earlier.


“Second Young Master!” The old man who was severely injured by Teng Shan was standing in the distance with a pale face. A hint of helplessness could be seen in his eyes.


He was heavily injured, and it was impossible for him to save another person. Moreover, even if he was not injured, he would not be able to rescue Yang Wu.


This was because Teng Shan, the witness whom Duan Ling Tian had invited to oversee the Death Duel, was present on the scene.


It was impossible that Teng Shan would let him save Yang Wu.


“Forgive you?” Duan Ling Tian was indifferent faced with Yang Wu who was begging for forgiveness. “I’m very curious though, if my life is in your hands, would you have let me go?”


Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Yang Wu’s eyes widened. Then, his body tensed as though he was afraid Duan Ling Tian would see through him.


“I know the answer even if you don’t tell me.” Duan Ling Tian’s gaze turned colder and colder as it gleamed with killing intent. “Then, my answer is the same as yours.”


“N-No… No… N-No! N-No… No!” Sensing Duan Ling Tian’s murderous intent, Yang Wu struggled violently as he shouted and coughed. Horror and despair had completely filled his eyes.


Before killing Yang Wu, Duan Ling Tian looked at Li An and asked indifferently, “Elder Li An, do you still have anything to say to him? You won’t have any chance again after this.”


Provocation! That was a blatant provocation!


At this moment, everyone could sense the tension between both of them.


When Li An heard Duan Ling Tian’s provocative words, he felt his lungs were going to burst out of anger. However, it was inappropriate for him to show his emotions in front of so many people. After all, every single one of his actions represented the Black Turtle Sanctum and the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect!


“Little Wu, die in peace! Uncle Li will send him to meet you soon!” In the end, Li An glanced at Yang Wu before he transmitted his voice Voice Transmission. His voice sounded grim as well when he spoke.


No matter what, Yang Wu was his best friend’s son. Now that he was going to die here, he did not know how to face his best friend in the future.


However, there was nothing he could do now. He could only watch as Yang Wu dies!


‘Duan Ling Tian, if you kill him, not only will you have to face my wrath, but you’ll have to face Fifth Elder Yang Chong’s wrath from the Northern Plethora Sect as well. You’re going to die!’ Li An stared at Duan Ling Tian coldly and sentenced Duan Ling Tian to death in his heart.


Snap!


A crisp sound could be heard as Duan Ling Tian tightened his grip and killed Yang Wu.


Until the moment Yang Wu died, his eyes were still wide open. He died with a belly full of regrets.


After killing Yang Wu and keeping the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword and his Spatial Ring, Duan Ling Tian released his grip on Yang Wu’s neck, causing Yang Wu to drop from the sky.


At the same time, his expression changed as colors drained from his face.


At this moment, the energy absorbed by the high-grade Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, was completely depleted. His Spiritual Energy was depleted as well. He decided to kill Yang Wu instantly due to this reason. He was afraid the situation would change again.


“He’s dead?”


“The awe-inspiring son of the Northern Plethora Sect’s fifth elder is dead? I wonder how angry the fifth elder will be when finds out about this.”


“Humph! Yang Wu deserves to die! If he didn’t provoke other people, he wouldn’t have been killed! Hurmph!!”



After Yang Wu was killed, the scene that was silent broke out in an uproar again.
