Chapter 3538: Dead Within a Second
Duan Ling Tian was surprised by this ambush. He did not expect Xu Kong Hai, one of the Vice Temple Masters of the main t.i.tle Temple, to make a move as soon as he met his master.
At this time, the five people from the t.i.tle Temple looked at the master and disciple frostily.
Based on the five people’s att.i.tude, Duan Ling Tian could tell they were determined to imprison him. He wondered where they gained the confidence to oppose his master so openly.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression was dark and he felt his heart sink. The t.i.tle Temple must be thoroughly prepared and confident for them to make such a move. They were clearly unafraid of the consequences of offending his master.
“Wu Hong Qing?” Feng Qing Yang remained calm, unlike Duan Ling Tian. He looked at the middle-aged man who hovered in the air above the others.
Wu Hong Qing was the current Temple Master of the main t.i.tle Temple.
One of the old men hovering in the air scoffed. “Feng Qing Yang, do you think a mere Heavenly Emperor like you is worthy of addressing our Lord Temple Master by his name?”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes s.h.i.+fted to Wu Hong Qing.
Wu Hong Qing was dressed in a long blue robe. He was tall and burly, and a crescent mark could be seen between his brows. His straight brows gave him a dignified air. At this time, he was staring Feng Qing Yang and Duan Ling Tian solemnly.
“Feng Qing Yang.” Wu Hong Qing looked at Feng Qing Yang and said indifferently, “The t.i.tle Temple wants your true disciple. It’s best that you forget about your disciple. If you’re willing to step aside, the t.i.tle Temple won’t stop you from holding onto your position as the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven even though you’re now a G.o.d. I, Wu Hong Qing, give you my word.”
Wu Hong Qing did not beat around the bush and directly stated he wanted Duan Ling Tian and even said he would compensate Feng Qing Yang as long as Feng Qing Yang promised not to meddle in the matter.
Duan Ling Tian smiled mockingly. It seemed like he was worth quite a lot to the t.i.tle Temple. Apart from that, based on Wu Hong Qing’s words, he knew that the t.i.tle Temple was unaware of his master’s true strength. Otherwise, Wu Hong Qing would not have made such an offer to his master. After all, his master was more than capable of holding onto his position as the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven regardless of whether the t.i.tle Temple agreed to it or not.
Feng Qing Yang did not respond to Wu Hong Qing’s words. Instead, he asked, “Has the t.i.tle Temple thought this through?”
“Feng Qing Yang, stop putting on airs!” One of the Supreme Elders of the t.i.tle Temple scoffed. “You’ve only attained G.o.dhood not too long ago; at most, you’re an intermediate G.o.d. How dare you act so arrogantly before the t.i.tle Temple? If you even dare to seek revenge from the t.i.tle Temple after your physical body returns from the Asura h.e.l.l, I’ll personally destroy your physical body and clones!” Killing intent rose from his body as he continued to say, “If I can’t find you, the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven and its members will pay the price. You’ll forever be hunted by the t.i.tle Temple…”
Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned unsightly as soon as he heard the Supreme Elder’s threats.
“You think you can kill me?” Feng Qing Yang wore a faint smile on his face as he looked at the Supreme Elder who threatened him.
All of a sudden, Wu Hong Qing widened his eyes and cried out, “Watch out!”
Swoos.h.!.+
Wu Hong Qing vanished into thin air in just a blink of an eye and reappeared next to the Supreme Elder who had threatened Feng Qing Yang. Alas, it was too late. A b.l.o.o.d.y hole could be seen on the Supreme Elder’s glabella, and the disdainful expression on his face was frozen on his face. Clearly, the Supreme Elder had no time to react before he died.
The other Supreme Elder, the other Vice Temple Master, and Xu Kong Hai felt chills running up their spines.
“B-brother Quan…” The other Supreme Elder grew furious when he regained his senses. However, when his eyes s.h.i.+fted to Feng Qing Yang, he felt as though his fury had been doused by fear.
“How’s this possible?!”
Xu Kong Hai and the other Vice Temple Master were in shock and disbelief. The Supreme Elder had died in just a blink of an eye despite being an advanced G.o.d. All they heard was a brief sword cry before the Supreme Elder died.
“Did Feng Qing Yang use his sword?”
“I’m an intermediate G.o.d, but I couldn’t capture his movements at all… Most importantly, this is just his clone from the law of earth!”
Xu Kong Hai and the other Vice Temple Master shuddered as fear rose in their hearts.
“In fact, it seemed like Supreme Elder Su Quan couldn’t even react in time to Feng Qing Yang’s attack…”
“Doesn’t this mean that…”
At this time, Wu Hong Qing cried out, “Y-you’ve broken through and became a King of G.o.ds?”
Wu Hong Qing’s voice was laced with anger and fear as he looked at Feng Qing Yang in disbelief. How could Feng Qing Yang be a King of G.o.d when he had just attained G.o.dhood a few hundred years ago? It was impossible!
“A King of G.o.d!”
At this time, the others were certain Feng Qing Yang was now a King of G.o.d. Otherwise, Feng Qing Yang would not have been able to kill Su Quan so effortlessly.
‘Master has had a breakthrough?’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up in delight and surprise. When he had gone to the Asura h.e.l.l with his master, his master had yet to become a King of G.o.ds. This meant that his master broke through in less than two years!
Feng Qing Yang flashed and appeared among the four people from the t.i.tle Temple. He calmly asked, “I’ll ask again. Is the t.i.tle Temple determined to imprison my disciple? If you’re determined, then, you can make a move now…”
Wu Hong Qing’s expression darkened. “Feng Qing Yang, how dare you conceal your strength! Did you intentionally kill Supreme Elder Su to prove your strength?”
From the moment Feng Qing Yang revealed he was now a King of G.o.d, Wu Hong Qing and the others knew they no longer had any hope of imprisoning Duan Ling Tian. It was unfortunate that Su Quan, one of their Supreme Elders, had died in vain.
Although Wu Hong Qing could activate the t.i.tle Temple’s guarding Formation, he knew it would not be enough to kill Feng Qing Yang. After all, the Formation could only kill an ordinary G.o.d at most.
The Formation that was powered by many divine crystals was undoubtedly strong, but since they were not in the Realms of G.o.ds, due to the inferior Heaven and Earth Energy, the Formation would not be able to kill most G.o.ds. On the other hand, in the Realms of G.o.ds, this Formation was strong enough to kill a King of G.o.ds.
Unlike Wu Hong Qing who was burning with cold fury, Feng Qing Yang remained expressionless, “So what if it’s intentional?” Then, he said to Duan Ling Tian, “Little Tian, let’s go.”
There was nothing Wu Qing Hong could do as he watched Feng Qing Yang and Duan Ling Tian leave.
Just as Feng Qing Yang and Duan Ling Tian were about to leave, a cold scoff rang in the air before a figure suddenly appeared.
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes immediately.
The newcomer was none other than Ru Lai, the Temple Master of the t.i.tle Temple branch in the Pavilion Shaft Heaven, who had been possessed by a member of the Phantom Clan.
