Chapter 2330 Fiery Blood Evasion Talisman
“I apologize for accidentally killing your master…” Duan Ling Tian’s words to Yang Zhen Xing, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, rendered everyone speechless.
Accidentally killed your master?
It was obvious Duan Ling Tian was mocking Yang Zhen Xing, but what could they do?
“Lord Patriarch…” The people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls turned to look at Yang Zhen Xing. Duan Ling Tian had effortlessly killed the patriarch’s master, a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, with just one move. It was, naturally, going to be even easier for him to kill the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan! Although they regarded him highly and thought he was powerful, they knew he could not be stronger than his master.
“Even Lord Patriarch’s master, a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, had fallen in Duan Ling Tian’s hands. Who else in the Human-Devil clan is capable of defeating him?”
“He killed a powerful Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial with just a strike. It would definitely be easy if he wants to kill Lord Patriarch who’s much weaker compared to a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”
“It seems like our Human-Devil clan has met with a calamity today!”
Many of the people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls had a grim expression on their faces. They were washed by a wave of helplessness and thought this would be the end of the Human-Devil clan! After all, the clan was under threat from a G.o.d-like powerhouse who could kill a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial with just a strike!
Yang Zhen Xing, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, who was enraged by Duan Ling Tian’s words finally said, “Duan Ling Tian!” He took a deep breath as he glared at Duan Ling Tian coldly and continued to say, “Do you really think there’s no one in the Human-Devil clan who can defeat you just because you killed my master? Even if your strength is comparable to a Five or Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, it would be easy for the forefather of the Human-Devil clan to crush you.” Respect and admiration could be heard in his voice as he spoke about the forefather of the Human-Devil clan. It sounded as though the forefather was the greatest being that ever lived. Based on his words, it seemed like the forefather of the Human-Devil clan was stronger than a Five or Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial…
“The forefather?!”
The moment Yang Zhen Xing finished speaking, everyone from the Three Palaces and Six Halls was dumbfounded. Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, and Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, were no exception. Their eyes widened in shock, but a hint of excitement could be seen in their eyes as well.
“Our forefather… is alive?”
Since they were from the Human-Devil clan, they knew a thing or two about Bodiless Celestials in the Human-Devil clan. One of them was the forefather mentioned by their patriarch. They remembered the last time the forefather of the Human-Devil clan had shown himself was about 2,000 years ago. At that time, he was already a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. If he was still alive, it was possible that he was a Seven or Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial now. Since Yang Zhen Xing, their patriarch, had mentioned the forefather, this must mean he was still alive!
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yang Zhen Xing. A faint smile could be seen on his face. Although he was smiling on the surface, he could not help but feel a hint of dread inside. “Based on your word, your forefather is at the very least a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”
Duan Ling Tian could tell the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan was not bluffing. He could fake his words, but he could not fake the look in his eyes.
“Why? Are you finally afraid?” Yang Zhen Xing sneered when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s question.
“Afraid?” Duan Ling Tian chuckle. “Perhaps…” He paused for a moment before he said, “However, so what if the forefather of the Human-Devil clan is a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? If I’m not mistaken, he’s currently not here. He probably won’t be able to make it here in time, right?”
Yang Zhen Xing’s expression darkened with every word that spilled out of Duan Ling Tian’s mouth. This was because Duan Ling Tian had guessed correctly.
Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness and barred the area surrounding Yang Zhen Xing as he said, “I’m sure you’re familiar with the saying, ‘Distant water will not quench nearby fire…’ I’m confident I’ll be able to kill you and escape before you can attempt to contact your clan’s forefather. Regardless of how strong a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial is, do you think he’ll be able to find me in the vast Dao Martial Saint Land? With my current strength, I’m able to tear a hole in the void and head to the Upper Province whenever I want.”
When Duan Ling Tian spoke, Yang Zhen Xing’s expression continued to darken. His eyes gleamed as he lost himself in his thoughts. He knew there was nothing he could do to Duan Ling Tian at this moment. “Duan Ling Tian, how do you know… What if our forefather is here? He could be hiding in the dark watching you like how one would watch an ant. He can crush you easily.”
“Is that so?” The grin on Duan Ling Tian’s face widened. “If that’s the case… Let me try killing you, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan. Let’s see if he’ll continue to watch…” As soon as he finished speaking, his aura changed suddenly. Killing intent began to roll off him in waves.
Woos.h.!.+ Woos.h.!.+ Woos.h.!.+
A gust of strong wind appeared out of nowhere, rustling Duan Ling Tian’s robe. He looked like the G.o.d of death at this moment.
Yang Zhen Xing cried out angrily, “Duan Ling Tian! After my departure, the Human-Devil clan will fight you till death if you dare kill anyone from the clan. When I return, our forefather will kill you and annihilate your Azure Cloud Mansion!”
‘No!’ Duan Ling Tian felt his Divine Consciousness tingle as soon as Yang Zhen Xing finished speaking. His expression changed dramatically.
“You’re seeking death!” Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate as his Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body through his 99 Saint Veins with just a thought and formed tens of thousands of sword rays! Apart from that, it seemed like he had transformed into one of the sword rays as well.
In just a blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of sword rays combined and formed a glowing white three-foot-long sword. It hovered in the air horizontally, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Swoos.h.!.+
As soon as the sword appeared, it gleamed inconspicuously and shot forward… It arrived near Yang Zhen Xing in just a blink of an eye and tore a hole in the void.
Rrippp!
The hole kept getting bigger and eventually reached where Yang Zhen Xing was standing. What was surprising was Yang Zhen Xin was suddenly engulfed by a blood-red flame as his body seemed to be cut into two. It seemed like he had cast this technique as soon as he had finished speaking. The void tore easily like a piece of paper. Yang Zhen Xing seemed like a portrait on a piece of paper that had been torn into two. However, he did not fall into the hole in the void. Instead, he gradually faded into nothingness.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned gloomier by the minute when he saw this. ‘He actually managed to escape… What technique was that?!’ He thought to himself. He had made a move without any hesitation as soon as he discovered Yang Zhen Xing making a move. However, it was still too late. Yang Zhen Xing still managed to escape. Yang Zhen Xing had completely disappeared from the radar of his Divine Consciousness.
‘Earlier, I think he crushed a blood-red jade slip… Then, a blood-red flame began to engulf him. He has already escaped when I tore the void open!’ Duan Ling Tian was impressed by Yang Zhen Xing’s technique.
Suddenly, a loud cry rang in the air. “Fiery Blood Evasion Talisman!”
