Chapter 4120: Lu Tian Feng
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The three disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were as arrogant and ruthless as Hong Li before, but at this time, they had lost all confidence after his death. In order to survive, they did not hesitate to offer all kinds of things, hoping that Duan Ling Tian would spare their lives.
Unsurprisingly, Duan Ling Tian ignored their pleas. From the beginning, these three people were already dead in his eyes.
The Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation did not consider the innocent lives they reaped when they destroyed and killed everything and everyone related to him. Some of those people had never even met Duan Ling Tian, but they still died because of him.
Although the three people in front of Duan Ling Tian were not responsible for the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation’s actions, they accepted his challenge because they were confident about killing him. It was preposterous that they expected him to spare them now.
Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently to his three opponents, “I’ll try to send all of you to accompany Wang Yun Sheng and Hong Li within ten breaths.”
Without waiting for a reply, Duan Ling Tian teleported again, causing the trio’s expressions to change. However, they did not flee. Instead, they worked together to face Duan Ling Tian. This was, in fact, the best choice. When they joined forces, it made it more difficult for Duan Ling Tian to kill them. Although Duan Ling Tian wielded the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, despite suffering from internal injuries, they managed to hold on for a short time by working together.
Alas, the trio’s injuries only worsened as time passed. In just a few breaths, they were cornered.
“Duan Ling Tian! Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!” one of the trio said viciously as he charged forward, letting the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword pierce his body. In order to attack Duan Ling Tian, he did not hesitate to let the sword pierce him. Alas, even with this, he only managed to stop a fraction of the sword’s momentum.
Duan Ling Tian withdrew the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword to avoid his opponent’s desperate attack.
Following that, Huang’er, who was dressed in a colorful robe, appeared with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword in hand. With just a flick of her hand, she killed the other party.
With this, only two disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were left in the Arena of Death.
Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian teleported and appeared next to Huang’er. He stared at his two remaining opponents calmly as he raised his hand. Huang’er entered the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and returned to his hand immediately.
Now that there were only the two of them left, their combined strength was not enough to stop Duan Ling Tian even if Duan Ling Tian did not use the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
Duan Ling Tian swung his sword in a casual manner, and in just two breaths, he killed the two of them.
With this, all five of Duan Ling Tian’s opponents were dead.
Duan Ling Tian, the initiator of the life-or-death battle, stood calmly with his sword in hand. Not even a speck of blood could be seen on the dazzling sword at this moment. Similarly, his purple robe was also spotless.
Not counting the time when Yuan Dong Chun used his artifact soul to probe Huang’er, it only took Duan Ling Tian fewer than 20 breaths to kill Wang Yun Sheng, a Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, and the other four.
Meanwhile, silence descended in the Palace of Death after the death of the last disciple of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation in the Arena of Death. They were shocked that all five disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, including Wang Yun Sheng, an Holy Son of the congregation, were dead.
One of the two people standing next to Hu Lan Qi, an outstanding disciple of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, looked frightened as he muttered, “Dead… They’re all dead…”
The person next to him sighed emotionally. “Fortunately, we didn’t follow them to look for trouble with Duan Ling Tian.Otherwise, we’d be killed during the life-or-death battle.”
“Duan Ling Tian possesses a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. Even if there are another three of us, we still won’t be able to kill him!”
Hu Lan Qi’s expression changed when he heard his two companions’ words. Fear flashed in his eyes as he looked at the purple figure in the Arena of Death.
Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian might only be a little stronger than Wang Yun Sheng without the prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul. However, with the sword, he managed to kill Wang Yun Sheng in seconds. The fact that Wang Yun Sheng was distracted by the sword also contributed greatly to Duan Ling Tian’s feat of killing Wang Yun Sheng so quickly. Nonetheless, with the sword, even if Wang Yun Sheng was not distracted, he would still be able to kill Wang Yun Sheng. It was just a matter of time.
Hu Lan Qi shuddered inwardly. ‘He’s too strong. If I fight him, I might not even be able to hold on for more than three breaths if he uses the sword…’
After a moment, Hu Lan Qi sent a Voice Transmission to his two companions, and they hurriedly left the Palace of Death. He was deeply afraid that Duan Ling Tian would not be satisfied even after killing five disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation and would look for trouble with them. Needless to say, if Duan Ling Tian challenged them to a life-or-death battle, they would not accept the challenge. However, they could avoid humiliation if they left now. Moreover, they had other matters to attend to as well. Now that five disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, including a Holy Son, died, they naturally had to report the matter to the congregation as soon as possible.
…
In fact, not long after Wang Yun Sheng’s death, someone in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation had already discovered that Wang Yun Sheng’s Soul Pearl had shattered. However, before the congregation could inquire about this matter, another four Soul Pearls shattered consecutively. With this, how could they not know that something big had happened?
“The Holy Son, Hong Li, and another three disciples were all killed by Duan Ling Tian, a student from the Myriad Laws Academy!”
“Duan Ling Tian might not be stronger than the Holy Son. He only managed to kill all five of them because he wielded a prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul!”
“How is it possible that an intermediate Lord of Gods possesses a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul? Did someone lend it to him? Based on what I know, Yang Yu Chen, the Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, is his senior brother. Did Yang Yu Chen lend him the prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul?”
“No. Yang Yu Chen’s prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul isn’t a sword.”
“Then, Yang Yu Chen must have borrowed the sword from someone else on Duan Ling Tian’s behalf!”
“The rules in the Palace of Death prohibit one from wielding borrowed prominent divine artifacts with incomplete and complete artifact souls. Does this mean that Duan Ling Tian violated the rules?”
“If Duan Ling Tian didn’t violate the rules, we can only endure this loss silently. After all, all of them signed a death pact. However, if Duan Ling Tian violated the rules, he’ll have to pay for this!”
A huge commotion was stirred up in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation as the news spread.
It did not take long before an emergency meeting was called, and all the high-ranking officials in the congregation gathered.
During the meeting, an old man was targeted by many people.
A middle-aged man with an aquiline nose stared at the old man intently and said in a deep voice, “Vice Leader Lu, I heard that Duan Ling Tian challenged Wang Yun Sheng, one of our Holy Sons, to a life-or-death battle because you sent people to kill those related to him in the lower realms.”
In fact, the middle-aged man had long been aware of this matter, but he turned a blind eye to it since many people in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation had done things like this. However, it was different now since they had lost five outstanding disciples.
“Vice Leader Lu, you didn’t clean up your traces properly and let Duan Ling Tian trace the matter back to the congregation!”
“Vice Leader Lu, you should’ve sought my help. At the very least, I’d make sure not to leave any traces behind!”
The old man was Lu Tian Feng, the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. He was the one who sent people to the lower realms to kill everyone related to Duan Ling Tian.
At this moment, Lu Tian Feng’s expression was extremely dark. Wang Yun Sheng was not from his faction so he would be held responsible for Wang Yun Sheng’s death. Despite the unsightly expression on his face, he said calmly, “I can guarantee that I didn’t leave any traces behind that could lead to our congregation. In my opinion, Duan Ling Tian was only guessing and didn’t have concrete evidence. With our reputation and past conduct, it’s not difficult to see why he came to such a conclusion. Before you point your fingers at me, you should reflect and see if you’ve done such things before. Only if you’ve never done such a thing before are you qualified to judge me.”
After Lu Tian Feng finished speaking, those people who were blaming him fell silent immediately. After all, none of them had clean hands. Moreover, just like Duan Ling Tian, many knew that they were behind the matter even if there was no conclusive evidence. The difference was they did not suffer a loss like they did this time. This time, they lost a Holy Son.
The Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were the most outstanding disciples in the congregation and carried the high hopes of the congregation. They were all candidates to become the successor of the Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. For example, the current Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation was also a Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation in the past.
Moreover, apart from Wang Yun Sheng, Hong Li and the other three who died were also very outstanding among the younger generation in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation even if they were inferior to the Holy Sons. All of them had the potential to become Supreme Gods in the future.
Mediocre disciples in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation would not be sent to the Myriad Laws Academy. The Myriad Laws Academy naturally would not accept mediocre students.
At this time, the Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation seated on the main seat, who had been quiet from the beginning, scoffed coldly.
Lu Tian Feng and the other high-ranking officials in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation fell silent immediately. They turned to look at the Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation with solemn expressions on their faces.
