Chapter 2435 Giving Him The Celestial Sword
When Duan Ling Tian heard Zhang Yi’s words, he knew that even if Zhang Yun Fei had mastered the Destructive Celestial Thunder and possessed strength comparable to a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, with his brother being ahead of him in everything and the Celestial Masters Sect only possessing two Celestial Supreme Treasures, he would never obtain a Celestial Supreme Treasures from the sect. Therefore, he would have to obtain one on his own. Now that he found out Zhang Yi had obtained one, he, naturally, would not let this great opportunity pa.s.s by.
Zhang Yun Fei looked at Zhang Yi coldly and said in a condescending tone, “Zhang Yi, hand over the Celestial Sword. If you kneel before me and kowtow three times, I might consider sparing your worthless life!” He spoke as though he was the Grim Reaper, easily deciding Zhang Yi’s life or death.
Zhang Yi’s expression turned unsightly and he clenched his hands tightly when he heard Zhang Yun Fei’s words. He was so furious that his body began to tremble. However, he knew there was nothing he could do since he was no match for Zhang Yun Fei. Suddenly, he felt a hand resting on his shoulder, causing him to widen his eyes imperceptibly.
In just a blink of an eye, a figure had moved in front of Zhang Yi, s.h.i.+elding him.
“Is that so? Why do I feel that you’ll die today instead?” That figure was none other than Duan Ling Tian. Although he had spoken calmly, killing intent could be seen in the depths of his eyes. Zhang Yi was someone he sincerely considered as a friend, and currently, someone was threatening his friend. How could he not feel angry?
Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “He’s my friend, and n.o.body can casually kill my friends!”
Zhang Yun Fei s.h.i.+fted his attention from Zhang Yi to Duan Ling Tian as soon as Duan Ling Tian stepped forward to s.h.i.+eld Zhang Yi. Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, he said angrily, “You brat! You’re seeking death!”
Zhang Yun Fei’s eyes were cold and his body emitted killing intent when he spoke. At the same time, Celestial Origin Energy mixed with Saint Origin began to surge out of his body. As he lunged toward Duan Ling Tian, he cried out, “Die!”
Boom!
A thunderous sound rang in the air. Clouds began to converge again as a purple and white light flashed intermittently within the clouds.
Everything happened so quickly that Zhang Yi and Han Xue Nai could not even react in time.
Duan Ling Tian scoffed when he saw Zhang Yun Fei casting the Celestial Technique, the Destructive Celestial Thunder. He lifted his hand and the Celestial Sword he had acquired appeared. Meanwhile, his energy circulated through this Ninety-nine Saint Veins and surged out of his body in just an instant.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian cried out, “Sword Wielding Art!” In just an instant, the Celestial Sword that was shooting out sword rays shot out as well.
Indeed. The Celestial Technique, the Destructive Celestial Thunder, was quite extraordinary. Its power was destructive, and it left thunderous explosions in its wake. Unfortunately, the seemingly domineering and destructive technique seemed to suddenly stop in its track. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
Duan Ling Tian’s sword shot out and completely overwhelmed the Destructive Celestial Thunder in just a blink of an eye.
Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded in the air, causing the earth to quake. A shockwave swept out, sending Han Xue Nai and Zhang Yi flying. They were slightly injured by the shockwave as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions continued to reverberate in the air, seemingly causing the air to stagnate.
Fortunately, they were not in the mundane realm. Otherwise, the collision of the attacks would have left countless cracks in the void. After all, the power of the attacks was comparable to the full strength of a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.
After a while, the commotion finally subsided.
However, it seemed like there was no clear winner in the battle between Duan Ling Tian and Zhang Yun Fei.
Duan Ling Tian had attacked in a hurry, therefore, he did not have the time to cast his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, and the fourth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword, the Body Sword Fusion. If it were not for this reason, how could Zhang Yun Fei have survived?
Zhang Yun Fei looked at Duan Ling Tian pointedly and said in a low voice, “It seems like you’re that Duan Ling Tian from the Saint Province Realm. Not bad! With your Celestial Sword and Celestial Technique, you possess strength comparable to a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. It seems like you’re not any weaker than me.”
Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow and asked, “You’ve heard about me?”
However, Zhang Yun Fei did not answer Duan Ling Tian’s question. Instead, he looked at Zhang Yi and sent him a Voice Transmission. “Zhang Yi, if you hand over your Celestial Sword, I’ll kill this man and let you have his Celestial Sword. Moreover, I will not fight you for the minor inheritance from Li Bai, the Green Lotus Sword Celestial. I’ll even help you with the challenges so you can obtain the minor inheritance!”
At this moment, Zhang Yun Fei had lost his condescending tone when he spoke. Instead, he sounded quite respectful when he spoke to Zhang Yi. After all, he had fallen into a disadvantageous position. He did not expect Zhang Yi’s companion would possess strength that was comparable to his. However, he was certain he would be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian once he obtained Zhang Yi’s Celestial Sword. In other words, whether he would be able to kill Duan Ling Tian or not depended on Zhang Yi. Naturally, the promise he made Zhang Yi was just an empty promise. He did not intend to spare Zhang Yi’s life at all. After all, once he killed Duan Ling Tian, he could easily kill Zhang Yi. With this, he would obtain two Celestial Swords and the minor inheritance from Li Bai, the Green Lotus Sword Celestial. He had everything planned out in his mind, all he needed right now was Zhang Yi’s cooperation.
“Zhang Yunfei!” Zhang Yi shook his head. He knew what was going through Zhang Yun Fei’s mind. He said loudly without bothering to use Voice Transmission, “Even if I hand over the Celestial Sword to you, you still won’t be a match for Duan Ling Tian!”
Zhang Yun Fei did not expect Zhang Yi to reply to him out loud and flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Zhang Yi! You’re dead!” Naturally, he did not take Zhang Yi’s words seriously when Zhang Yi said that he would not be a match for Duan Ling Tian. He a.s.sumed Zhang Yi was just trying to provoke him.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Zhang Yi and said, “Since he thinks he can beat me with a Celestial Sword, why don’t you give him the sword? I want to see how strong he’ll become after getting his hands on a Celestial Sword.” His expression was calm when he spoke, it was clear he was not bothered at all.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian spoke, Zhang Yi did not hesitate and took his Celestial Sword out and threw it at Zhang Yun Fei. He said solemnly, “Zhang Yun Fei, you’ll soon discover that my words are true!”
When Zhang Yun Fei caught the sword in his hand, an ominous feeling rose in his heart when he confirmed that Zhang Yi had, indeed, given him the Celestial Sword and saw how calm Duan Ling Tian was. He could not shake off the feeling that something was wrong. However, there was no way he could back down now. He had no other choice but to steel his nerves and continue on the path he had chosen.
Zhang Yun Fei thought to himself to calm his nerves, ‘He must be exaggerating. There’s no way he’s telling the truth.’ With that thought in mind, he lifted the Celestial Sword and cast his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability and the Celestial Technique, the Destructive Celestial Thunder.
“Elementary Devouring Tactic!” At the same time, Duan Ling Tian cast his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability and whirlpools began to appear around him. It did not take long before the whirlpools disappeared.
Let alone Han Xue Nai, even Zhang Yi could not get a good look at the mysterious whirlpools.
On the other hand, Zhang Yun Fei could clearly see the technique Duan Ling Tian had cast. He could tell the Duan Ling Tian’s a.s.sist-type Divine Ability was not inferior to his own a.s.sist-type Divine Ability. However, after a while, he discovered that his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability was losing out to Duan Ling Tian’s a.s.sist-type Divine Ability in regard to absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings. Fortunately, he had absorbed enough energy to launch his attack.
Zhang Yun Fei thought to himself, ‘With this Celestial Supreme Treasure, my strength will be comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Even if his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability is superior to mine, his strength would be on par with mine at best!’
