“That’s right!” Yang Wu nodded stubbornly. His eyes were filled with condescension as he looked at Duan Ling Tian like a senior looking down at a junior.


“Naturally, you can decline. After all, you and your two companions are just like tras.h.!.+” Yang Wu sneered as he s.h.i.+fted his attention to Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi.


Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi’s expressions turned grim immediately. However, they knew that Yang Wu was intentionally provoking Duan Ling Tian so they remained quiet. They were worried they would further enrage Duan Ling Tian if they spoke.


If Duan Ling Tian was not so heavily injured, naturally, they had no doubts that Duan Ling Tian would be able to kill Yang Wu. Although Duan Ling Tian was no longer on the brink of death like he was earlier, judging by his current situation, it was obvious he was still severely injured. Even Gu Li felt as though he could defeat the current Duan Ling Tian, let alone Yang Wu who was much stronger than him.


“Death Duel…” Duan Ling Tian was very familiar with Death Duels. Not only that, but if he did not take a moment to think about it, he would not remember the number of times he was engaged in a Death Duel.


However, the fact that Duan Ling Tian was still standing here meant that all his opponents had died!


Today, Yang Wu, the son of the fifth elder from the Northern Plethora Sect, a first-rate force in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, had issued a Death Duel Invitation to him and even asked Elder Li An, the strongest Silver Flame Elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum, to become his witness!


“As expected, you’re indeed tras.h.!.+ Just tell me directly if you’re afraid to accept it. Why are you hesitating for?” Yang Wu continued to look at Duan Ling Tian condescendingly as he said arrogantly, “Don’t tell me by hesitating, you’ll be able to muster your courage? Coward! Tras.h.!.+”


“Faced with something that can’t even compare to trash, do you think I’ll decline the challenge?” Duan Ling Tian finally spoke.


Something that was not even comparable to trash?


Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, everybody’s hearts jolted.


Based on Duan Ling Tian’s word, he was planning to accept Yang Wu’s Death Duel Invitation?


“He’s crazy!” Many people gasped. They felt that Duan Ling Tian had lost his mind.


“Don’t tell me he’s so strong that he can still defeat Yang Wu even though he’s heavily injured?” Some people who were quite strong were curious so they extended their Divine Consciousness and probed Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base.


However, in the next instant, their expressions changed drastically. “T-The peak of the Eminent Saint Stage? H-How is this possible?!”


“My Divine Consciousness also detects that his cultivation base is at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage! My goodness! Is he seeking death?!”


“A person at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage who’s severely injured is planning to accept the Death Duel Invitation issued by a Mastery Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator who’s at almost the peak of his health? Is he even sane?”


“He’s seeking death!”



When Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was exposed, a commotion broke out.


Naturally, there were also people who remained calm as though they had already known Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage.


Apart from Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi, these few people were Yang Wu, Li An, and Teng Shan!


No explanation was needed for Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi since they were Duan Ling Tian’s companions. They already knew about this since a long time ago.


As for Yang Wu, he had heard about it from Li An. When Li An and Teng Shan were probing Duan Ling Tian using their Divine Consciousness to check if he was human, they also discovered his cultivation base.


For this reason, Li An had transmitted his voice to Yang Wu, suggesting that he humiliate Duan Ling Tian by issuing a Death Duel Invitation. As long as Duan Ling Tian accepted the challenge, the incident today would definitely have a happy ending for Yang Wu and Li An. With this, Li An would have an explanation for his best friend when they meet in the future.


It was all due to Li An’s manipulation that things had escalated to this extent.


“Junior Brother Ling Tian!”


“Duan Ling Tian!”


Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi were horrified as they turned to look at Duan Ling Tian in panic. As soon as they were going to open their mouths to dissuade him, Duan Ling Tian instantly interrupted them. “Don’t worry, I’m confident. Senior Brother Gu Li, it’s not like you’ve not seen me engage in Death Duels with other people. When we were still in the Mystical Sky Mansion, didn’t I kill Zhao Kun from the Zhao Clan as well? How many people thought I would lose at that time?” Duan Ling Tian spoke very confidently.


“But now, you’re…” Gu Li was about to remind Duan Ling Tian he was injured and not at his best condition, Duan Ling Tian interrupted him again.


“It’s enough to kill Yang Wu.”


In the end, Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi chose to believe in Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, this was also their only option.


They could see that Duan Ling Tian was determined and there was no changing his mind.


“Elder Teng Shan, I hope you’ll also be a witness to the Death Duel between Yang Wu and I. Otherwise, I’m afraid some old dog wouldn’t be able to control himself and intervene when he sees that thing that’s not even comparable to trash being killed by me~” Duan Ling Tian said to Teng Shan when everyone thought he had lost his mind.


The entire place fell silent immediately.


Some old dog?


That thing that was not even comparable to trash?


Many people looked at Li An and Yang Wu strangely when they heard this. Many of them also secretly gave Duan Ling Tian a thumbs-up.


It was nothing special if Duan Ling Tian had cursed Yang Wu, but Duan Ling Tian actually cursed Li An, the number one Silver Flame Elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum as well. Not only was it shocking, they felt that Duan Ling Tian had given up and decided to leave everything up to fate since things had already escalated to this stage. That was probably the reason why he was acting so recklessly.


Li An’s expression turned cold. Although he knew Duan Ling Tian was cursing him, he could not say anything since Duan Ling Tian did not mention his name. If he had spoken up, would that not be akin to him admitting that he was an old dog?


“I’ll definitely tear you into a thousand pieces!” Yang Wu looked at Duan Ling Tian with terrifyingly cold eyes that were filled with killing intent!


“You’ve already made up your mind?” Teng Shan asked in a deep voice.


He did not think that this purple-clad young man was Yang Wu’s match. Even if he was not injured, he was merely at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage.


Yang Wu, on the other hand, was a Mastery Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator!


“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I hope that you can become my witness and ensure the Death Duel is fair, Elder Teng Shan!”


“Don’t worry about this. No third person is allowed to intervene in a Death Duel that’s carried out in the Black Turtle Sanctum unless he wants to go against the entire Four Symbols Sanctums and the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect!” Teng Shan said as he looked at Li An.


He still took to heart that Li An had doubted his judgment and punished Duan Ling Tian.


In the Black Turtle Sanctum, n.o.body was allowed to cause trouble or else they would be punished just like Yang Wu was punished earlier.


However, if it was a Death Duel, then the Black Turtle Sanctum would ensure its fairness.


“What’s your name?” Teng Shan asked Duan Ling Tian as he looked at him before the Death Duel started.


Although he did not think this young man was particularly strong, his courage, actions, and how he called Li An an old dog made him like Duan Ling Tian.


If it was possible, he really did not want this young man to die. However, since things had already escalated to this stage, it was already out of his control.


“Duan Ling Tian!” Duan Ling Tian responded with a smile.


“Good name!” Teng Shan praised as his eyes shone brightly.


Although news about the Devilseal Tablet appearing again had reached the Upper Province and many learned that the Devilseal Tablet was in the possession of a Lower Province’s Martial Cultivator called Duan Ling Tian, the Dao Martial Saint Land was so big, it was normal for people to share the same name. Due to this reason, when Duan Ling Tian revealed his name, it did not cause a commotion.


Even if they learned Duan Ling Tian was the one who used to possess the Devilseal Tablet, it would not cause a commotion since they all knew the Devilseal Tablet was currently in the possession of Elder Xie Zong from the Black Kshetra Sect.


Before Duan Ling Tian came to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, he had already changed his look using the Disguising Secret Tactic. Although the changes were small, he looked like a completely different person. At the very least, it would be difficult for even his close friends and family to recognize him with just a glance. He did not plan to change his name even if he had changed his appearance. For this reason, when Teng Shan asked for his name, he immediately told him his real name!


“I’ve come across quite a lot of lunatics in my life, but this is my first time seeing such a lunatic!”


“That’s right! Duan Ling Tian is THE lunatic among all lunatics! Everyone can see he’ll definitely die if he accepts Yang Wu’s Death Duel Invitation. Even then, he still has the mood to ask Elder Teng Shan to be a witness!”


“Perhaps, he just did not want to lose to Yang Wu in terms of being domineering?”


The people present on the scene discussed heatedly among themselves.


Although Duan Ling Tian asked Teng Shan to be his witness and looked confident, n.o.body thought he could kill Yang Wu. It was the same for Li An and Yang Wu.


Even if a person who was at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage was at his peak, it was still impossible for him to be a match for a Mastery Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, let alone the fact that he was severely injured.


“Trash is tras.h.!.+ Things have already escalated to this stage, but you still want to act mysterious!” Yang Wu smirked as he looked at Duan Ling Tian disdainfully.


Faced with Yang Wu’s disdain, Duan Ling Tian no longer bothered with him. He only looked at him calmly and said, “Let’s begin.”


“Since you’re seeking death, I’ll fulfill your wis.h.!.+” Yang Wu was infuriated when he saw how calm Duan Ling Tian was. It was different from what he had imagined. He had imagined seeing Duan Ling Tian afraid. He charged toward Duan Ling Tian as soon as he finished speaking.


“You’re merely at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage, but you dare to accept the Death Duel Invitation my Second Young Master issued?! You’re seeking death!” The old man following Yang Wu stood at the side and watched. He looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was a dead man.


“Junior Brother Ling Tian!”


“Duan Ling Tian!”


Although Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi could tell Duan Ling Tian was confident, when they say how pale he was and how his unsteady his body was, they were filled with anxiety.
