2204 Determining Victory With Just One Move!
Although everyone present on the scene knew that Duan Ling Tian was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, they had never seen his transformation before. Now that they had personally witnessed this, many of them were shocked.
This is a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior?” Many Golden Flame Elders had a terrified expression on their faces.
“It’s said that the body of a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior has the brute strength of an Eight-clawed Divine Dragon. His defense and brute strength are superior to ordinary martial cultivators now that he has transformed into a Nine- clawed Dragon Warrior!”
“It seems like he’s not planning to hold back and is going all out against Hao Shuang!”
“However, does he stand a chance in winning?”
“I think the chances are slim. Hao Shuang is the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in our Dao Martial Saint Land. I don’t think Guardian Ling Tian is Hao Shuang’s match even though he has transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior.”
“I agree!”
The Golden Flame Elders and the Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall from Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect wished fervently that Duan Ling Tian would be able to defeat or kill Hao Shuang, but they did not think their chances were high. It would be extremely hard for their Guardian Ling Tian to defeat Hao Shuang!
The two Vice Sect Leaders and four Guardians of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect had similar thoughts as well.
“Hao Shuang!” Leng Ying said suddenly, “I hope you’ve thought this through. If you dare to make a move against Guardian Ling Tian, not only will you offend the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, but you’ll offend the dragon clan as well!”
The dragon clan!
After seeing Duan Ling Tian transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, Leng Ying had gotten the idea to threaten Hao Shuang using the dragon clan.
However, Hao Shuang only scoffed when he heard Leng Yin^s words. He said disdainfully, “I’m not even afraid of your Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, is there a need for me to fear the dragon clan?”
There was no Eight-clawed Divine Dragon in the dragon clan in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
It was only natural that a sectless cultivator with no ties in the world like Hao Shuang did not fear the current dragon clan.
Leng Ying was rendered speechless by Hao Shuang’s reply.
On the other hand, the people from Black Kshetra Sect had a hint of dread in their eyes after they saw Duan Ling Tian transforming into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and thought of the dragon clan.
Hao Shuang was a sectless cultivator with no ties in the world. However, the Black Kshetra Sect was different! The people from Black Kshetra Sect had families and properties. They would suffer great losses if the dragon clan decided to seek revenge. However, when they thought more about it, they decided their action was justified since Duan Ling Tian had killed Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King and one of the four great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect.
So what if it was the dragon clan? Would the dragon clan stop the Black Kshetra Sect from seeking revenge for the Golden Lion King?
“Duan Ling Tian, it seems like you’re very confident in your strength!” Hao Shuang narrowed his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian who had transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. His eyes flashed coldly. At the same time, killing intent rose from his body. “I really want to see where you get the courage to act so confidently in front of me.”
Hao Shuang snorted before Saint Origin surged from his body, causing the air to tremble.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
A flurry of hurricanes appeared and swept in all directions.
Meanwhile, Hao Shuang’s thin body began to fill out. After a while, his body turned muscular. His long white hair fluttered in the air like white snakes that were writhing. He raised an eyebrow when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. His slightly twisted expression betrayed how furious he was at this moment.
Hao Shuang was a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was ranked fifth on the Supreme Saint Ranking and was widely acknowledged as the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Dao Martial Saint Land! He had no problem saying he would be invincible in the Dao Martial Saint Land if there were no powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! However, today, not only did a brat who had not even turned 50 act so unrestrained before him, but that brat even dared to put on airs in front of him and spout so much nonsense. How could he not be furious?
“Brother Hao is getting serious!” The eyes of the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect lit up like stars in the night sky when he sensed the Saint Origin surging out of Hao Shuang’s body and his killing intent.
I hope Mr. Hao Shuang won’t kill Duan Ling Tian in a fit of rage. We still need to investigate if there’s a secret in the pseudo realm left behind by the three Eminent Devils,’ the Violet Dragon King and the White Tiger King of Black Kshetra Sect thought to themselves.
“Guardian Ling Tian of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect? The number one prodigy in the Dao Martial Saint Land? He would still be useless in front of someone like Lord Hao Shuang. I don’t think he can even withstand a strike from Lord Hao Shuang!” The two Vice Sect Leaders of the Black Kshetra Sect were beside themselves with joy. They were extremely confident in Hao Shuang’s strength.
Unlike the people from Black Kshetra Sect who were lively, the atmosphere felt heavy for the people from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect.
Leng Ying looked at Zi Feng with bright eyes as he asked, “Guardian Zi Feng, I’m afraid Guardian Ling Tian is no match for Hao Shuang. Should we help him?”
Although Leng Ying had a conflict with Duan Ling Tian in the past, he would not abandon Duan Ling Tian. Their conflict was internal after all. Against outsiders, there was no doubt he would stand with Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, the actions of the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was also a big reason why Leng Ying supported Duan Ling Tian without any hesitation at all.
“I want to help him as well, but do you think we’ll have a chance to do so? I bet you that as soon as we make a move, the Sect Leader and the two great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect would make a move as well!” Zi Feng smiled wryly as he glanced warily at the Violet Dragon King and White Tiger King of Black Kshetra Sect.
Zi Feng was no match for the Violet Dragon King and White Tiger King. Now that Duan Ling Tian would be preoccupied with Hao Shuang, the remaining four Guardians of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect would be defeated by the great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect if they decided to make a move recklessly. As for the remaining people from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, it would not be difficult for the Sect Leader and two Vice Sect Leaders of Black Kshetra Sect to deal with them.
When Leng Ying heard Zi Feng’s words, he instinctively turned to look at the people from Black Kshetra Sect. He discovered that even though the Sect Leader and the two great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect were looking at Duan Ling Tian and Hao Shuang, they were also keeping an eye on him and the other Guardians. Leng Ying’s expression turned sullen when he saw this.
Leng Ying was not the only one with a sullen expression. Qing Huo, Hong Yun, and the high-ranking officials from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect also had a sullen expression on their faces.
“You want to see where I get my confidence from?” Duan Ling Tian only smiled indifferently when he heard Hao Shuang’s words and saw the Saint Origin surging out of Hao Shuang’s body. He looked at Hao Shuang coldly.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s aura changed suddenly. It was as though he had transformed into a completely different person in just a second. If he was like an elegant man before, currently, it seemed as though he had transformed into a bloodthirsty warrior! Wind billowed around him as killing intent rose from his body. It made him look like a war G.o.d.
Suddenly, whirlpools began to appear around Duan Ling Tian’s body!
Elementary Devouring Tactic!
In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian devoured the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings and raised his Sun Saint Origin to its limit.
When the Sun Saint Origin surged out of Duan Ling Tian’s body again, it caused the air in his surroundings to tremble. After a while, the wind began to howl around him as it blew violently.
After the Sun Saint Origin in Duan Ling Tian’s body was raised to its limit, he felt his blood boiling. He looked at Hao Shuang with a piercing gaze, and he said valiantly, “Hao Shuang, let’s determine our victory with just a move…”
Determine victory with just a move?
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.
Hao Shuang was stunned. The people from Black Kshetra Sect were stunned. The people from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect were stunned.
There was not a single person who was not stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s words.
Hao Shuang, Duan Ling Tian’s opponent, was the first to regain his senses. He smirked coldly. “I really wonder where you get your courage from. To think you dare to say that you want to determine our victory with just one move!”
“Why? Are you afraid?” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he sneered.
“Afraid?” Hao Shuang was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing. When his laughter died down, he looked at Duan Ling Tian again before he said disdainfully, “What a joke! Why would I be afraid? Since you’re so eager to throw your life away, I’ll fulfill your wis.h.!.+”
As soon as Hao Shuang finished speaking, his Saint Origin began to sweep out after he cast the a.s.sist-type Divine Ability that he had mastered to raise his Saint Origin to its limit.
Naturally, compared to Duan Ling Tian’s a.s.sist-type Divine Ability, Hao Shuang’s Divine Ability did not raise his Saint Origin by much. However, his cultivation base was far higher than Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base. After all, he was a true powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was only a step away from the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was a quasi Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse! Now that he had cast his a.s.sist-type Divine Ability, his Saint Origin was comparable to a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Whoos.h.!.+
Hao Shuang raised his hand and a six-foot-long rod appeared in his hand. The rod looked ordinary at first sight. However, the moment he sent his Saint Origin into it, it seemed to have come alive. It emitted a terrifying aura.
“T-This is the Dharma Rod?!” Zi Feng had a horrified expression on his face when he saw this.
