Chapter 287: Do You Dare!?
Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
Duan Ling Tian returned to the Seven Star Sword Sect after leaving the primeval forest.
He’d only just entered the sect and walking on the mountain path of the main peak, the Dubhe Peak, when Duan Ling Tian heard two Seven Star Sword Sect outer court disciples that pa.s.sed by whispering in discussion.
"Have you heard? A monster appeared in the Megrez Peak this time." One of the outer court disciples said to the companion beside him.
"I heard. Supposedly he’s even a new disciple that had only just entered our Seven Star Sword Sect… At the fourth level of the Origin Core Stage at an age of around 20. Such natural talent is absolutely a top notch existence within the young generation of our Seven Star Sword Sect." The other outer court disciple nodded.
"He’d only just entered our Seven Star Sword Sect and had already ascended the life and death arena to kill two fourth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciples… Too formidable." The former praised.
Duan Ling Tian’s brows knit then shook his head, he never expected that he’d only killed Huo Xin and Yuan Wu yesterday, and it had already spread all over the Seven Star Sword Sect today.
On the way, Duan Ling Tian noticed that practically all the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples he encountered on the way were discussing the deed he performed from yesterday.
Luckily, these Seven Star Sword Sect disciples didn’t recognize him, otherwise, he would probably be looked upon like a rare animal.
Duan Ling Tian once again walked past the chain bridge and returned to Megrez Peak.
Duan Ling Tian had only just stepped on the Megrez Peak stone platform when he was stopped by a young man at around the age of 23 or 24.
The young man had an ordinary appearance, the type that couldn’t be found anymore once thrown into a crowd, but Duan Ling Tian didn’t dare look down upon him…
Duan Ling Tian’s sharp Spiritual Force allowed him to realize that the cultivation of this young man was stronger than Huo Xin and Yuan Wu.
"Is something the matter?" Duan Ling Tian frowned as he didn’t know this person and didn’t know why they would block him.
Could it be a good friend of Huo Xin and Yuan Wu?
Duan Ling Tian couldn’t help but think in his heart.
"Duan Ling Tian, Elder Zhao Lin asked me to come look for you. If you’re sensible then hand over the thing Elder Zhao Lin wants… Otherwise, you won’t have a foothold in Megrez Peak any longer!" The young man looked at Duan Ling Tian and said in a low voice.
Even though he’s head of the deed Duan Ling Tian performed yesterday, he didn’t take it to heart.
Yesterday, even if it was him, he would similarly be able to kill Huo Xin and Yuan Wu who had joined hands.
As a fifth level Origin Core Stage martial artist, he had this confidence.
Duan Ling Tian came to a sudden understanding when he heard the young man. It was someone Elder Zhao Lin sent.
Duan Ling Tian started laughing, laughing brilliantly.
"What are you laughing for?" The young man’s face sank, and he frowned.
"F**k off!" Duan Ling Tian’s laughter was instantly restrained, and he shouted out explosively with a voice that was like a clap of thunder, causing the young man to be muddled and was unable to recover from his shock for a long time.
"You… told me to f**k off?" The young man was stunned when he heard Duan Ling Tian, as if he’d encountered an inconceivable matter.
Along with Duan Ling Tian’s explosive shout, many Megrez Peak disciples from the direction of the Trade Hall noticed the commotion and surrounded them.
Watching a scene was human nature.
"It’s Duan Ling Tian!"
"Who actually dares to offend Duan Ling Tian?"
"Eh, isn’t this Liu Yu? How did he get at odds with Duan Ling Tian?"
"Senior Brother Liu Yu is an existence at the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage. Even though Duan Ling Tian was able to kill two fourth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciples, he might not be a match for Senior Brother Liu Yu… He actually dared to infuriate Senior Brother Liu Yu."
"Hmph! I don’t think so. On the life and death arena yesterday, either Huo Xin or Yuan Wu had stronger offensive strength than Duan Ling Tian, but in the end weren’t they killed by Duan Ling Tian in a single move?"
"Exactly, Duan Ling Tian’s strength can’t be judged by logic."
"I think so too. Since he dared be like this before Senior Brother Liu Yu, then he surely isn’t afraid of Senior Brother Liu Yu."
…
The crowd of Megrez Peak disciples that surrounded them had recognized Duan Ling Tian, and recognized the young man that had blocked Duan Ling Tian.
"Liu Yu? Fifth level Origin Core Stage?" Duan Ling Tian looked at the young man before him and frowned as he heard the discussions of these Megrez Peak disciples.
No wonder he dared block Duan Ling Tian, so it turned out that he was a fifth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple.
But, that Zhao Lin was really looking down on him. He thought that just a fifth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple was able to force him to hand over the cultivation method?
Moreover, not to mention there was no such cultivation method in his possession. Even if there was, he still wouldn’t give it to Zhao Lin.
Liu Yu was originally completely infuriated by Duan Ling Tian asking him to f**k off. When he heard the discussions of the surrounding Megrez Peak disciples, his expression flickered between a livid expression and a pale expression. His pair of icy cold eyes stared at Duan Ling Tian. "Duan Ling Tian, I’ll give you another chance! Hand over the thing I want, otherwise, you’ll surely regret it."
The spectating Megrez Peak disciples came to a sudden understanding when they heard Liu Yu.
So it turned out that this Liu Yu wanted to seize Duan Ling Tian’s possession.
"I’ll surely regret it?" Duan Ling Tian suddenly laughed when he heard Liu Yu’s threats, and the smile on the corners of his mouth had traces of evilness mixed within. "I’m really curious, how will you make me regret it?"
"You… You’re courting death!" Liu Yu never imagined that Duan Ling Tian’s att.i.tude was so unyielding, and his face sank, slightly getting angry from embarra.s.sment.
"I’m courting death?" Duan Ling Tian took a step forward, and his fierce gaze descended onto Liu Yu, as he asked in a low voice. "Since you dare say this, I presume you’re extremely confident towards your own strength… Since it’s like this, I, Duan Ling Tian, invite you to battle me on the life and death arena, how about it? Do you dare?!"
Do you dare?!
Duan Ling Tian’s voice was like a clap of thunder that instantly spread out.
For a moment, even more Megrez Peak disciples noticed the commotion and flocked over from the direction of the Trade Hall.
They’d also recognized Duan Ling Tian and Liu Yu.
Before long, they found out the sequence of events from the Megrez Peak disciples that had surrounded over much earlier… Instantly, their gazes descended onto Liu Yu, as they all wanted to know how Liu Yu would reply.
After he heard Duan Ling Tian’s provocation, Liu Yu’s face flushed red.
"Do you dare?!" What Duan Ling Tian said ceaselessly reverberated within his mind.
Thinking about the deed Duan Ling Tian performed yesterday, and perceiving Duan Ling Tian’s confidence at this moment, he was slightly perturbed in his heart.
If it was only an ordinary spar, so what if he agreed to it?
But Duan Ling Tian instead wanted him to ascend to the life and death arena now!
Once a Seven Star Sword Sect disciple ascended the life and death arena, it would also mean that they’d put their lives as the wager…
He and Duan Ling Tian couldn’t be considered to bear any deep grudges.
Moreover, he came to find Duan Ling Tian today only because the Megrez Peak’s Elder Zhao Lin sent him here… As far as he was concerned, there was completely no necessity to throw his life in for the sake of this matter.
Of course, most importantly, Duan Ling Tian was too mysterious!
Although he didn’t go to the life and death arena to see that battle with his own two eyes, but he’d heard of the specific details of the battle.
In merely a single move, Duan Ling Tian relied on a grade eight spirit sword to kill two Seven Star Sword Sect outer court disciples who possessed grade seven spirit weapons and had the same cultivation as Duan Ling Tian…
Such ability caused him to be shocked.
Duan Ling Tian couldn’t be judged by logic!
So, although he was confident in his own strength, and felt that he ought to not lose to Duan Ling Tian… He didn’t dare agree to Duan Ling Tian’s life and death arena invitation.
"Hmph!" How could Duan Ling Tian not know what Liu Yu was thinking when he saw Liu Yu’s expressions change between a livid expression and pale expression, and didn’t reply after a long time. Duan Ling Tian instantly had a disdainful expression. "F**k off!"
Liu Yu was still pondering when he abruptly heard Duan Ling Tian’s sudden shout, he unconsciously took a few steps backwards and was in a slightly sorry state.
"Fifth level Origin Core Stage? Nothing special!" Duan Ling Tian glanced at Liu Yu with a cold and indifferent gaze, then laughed in ridicule, not giving Liu Yu the slightest amount of face…
As far as he was concerned, he and Liu Yu had no enmity against each other, and Liu Yu wanting to seize his cultivation method was only asking for insult, and wasn’t worth being pitied.
Only Duan Ling Tian left did Liu Yu recover from his shock, and a wisp of bitterness appeared on the corners of his mouth…
Earlier, he indeed was afraid, he was afraid that he would be killed by Duan Ling Tian.
Before his life, everything else seemed that much more unimportant…
Yet Liu Yu didn’t know now that it wouldn’t be long before he would understand that how wise and correct his decision today was.
The spectating crowd of Megrez Peak disciples booed ceaselessly.
Their faces revealed a wisp of ridicule when they saw Liu Yu leaving in a sorry state. "Since this Liu Yu doesn’t dare agree to Duan Ling Tian’s life and death arena invitation, then don’t act brave and go offend Duan Ling Tian… Now, he’s incurred the dislike of all parties."
"Simply asking for insult!"
"Duan Ling Tian is really formidable, scaring Liu Yu s.h.i.+tless with a single sentence."
"Of course! Duan Ling Tian is the little freak of our Megrez Peak, and can’t be judged by logic… Now, even if he’s able to kill a fifth level Origin Core Stage martial artist, I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest.
…
Duan Ling Tian returned to the mountain peak of Megrez Peak, and after he returned to the stalact.i.te cave, he sat on the stone platform and calmed his heart to cultivate.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Wyrm Python Form!
Now, the task of top priority for Duan Ling Tian was to break through to the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage.
At that time, not only would his strength obtain a swift increase, but even the Quake Energy would obtain an increase.
He was extremely curious as to what extent the Quake Energy would increase to once he broke through to the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage…
Megrez Peak, in a gorge that possessed adequate rays of light.
A middle aged man and a young man stood facing each other.
"Elder Zhao Lin, forgive me, you should look for another person." Liu Yu looked at Zhao Lin, a trace of bitterness appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he had a slight lingering fear.
"Hmm? What? He refused you?" Zhao Lin’s eyes squinted, and contained piercingly cold lights within his gaze, as he asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Liu Yu nodded.
"You didn’t teach him a lesson?" Zhao Lin continued asking.
Liu Yu shook his head.
"Why?" Zhao Lin frowned, as far as he was concerned, although Duan Ling Tian killed two fourth level Origin Core Stage martial artists yesterday, Liu Yu was a fifth level Origin Core Stage martial artist after all, and ought to be able to frighten Duan Ling Tian.
But now it would seem that the facts weren’t like this.
"He invited me to a battle on the life and death arena… I, didn’t dare gamble my life. I’m sorry, Elder Zhao Lin." A wisp of bitterness appeared on the corners of Liu Yu’s mouth, then he bid his farewells before turning around and leaving.
Bang!
Origin Energy palm prints condensed into form with a life of Zhao Lin’s hand, and it whistled out smash a nearby stone table to pieces, then he said with an incomparably cold and indifferent voice. "Duan Ling Tian, since a fifth level Origin Core Stage martial artist can’t do anything to you, then I’ll go look for a sixth level Origin Core Stage martial artist… No matter what, I’ll make you hand over that cultivation method!"
