Chapter 2331 The Strong Bond Between Master and Disciple
“Fiery Blood Evasion Talisman?” Duan Ling Tian’s cutting gaze immediately turned to the person who had spoken. It was Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, who had defeated him with just a casual wave of his hand three years ago!
When Yuwen Hao Chen saw Duan Ling Tian’s pointed gaze, he realized Duan Ling Tian did not know what a Fiery Blood Evasion Talisman was. He jolted and quickly explained it to Duan Ling Tian out of fear.
“The Fiery Blood Evasion Talismans are jade talismans inscribed by the Devil Clans’ Formation Masters with great effort, using a lot of precious materials… After crus.h.i.+ng it, the person will be engulfed by the Transportation Blood Flame and transported ten thousand miles away in just a blink of an eye! Apart from that, the person using the talisman would not be detected by Divine Consciousness, allowing him to leave without a trace. There’s only a handful of Fiery Blood Evasion Talismans in the Devil Clans. Who knew Lord Patriarch would have one…” After Yuwen Hao Chen finished explaining, he looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of anxiety and wariness in his eyes. Three years ago, he could easily defeat Duan Ling Tian with just a snap of his fingers. However, currently, Duan Ling Tian had become much stronger than him.
A Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was much stronger than Eminent Celestials, and yet, Duan Ling Tian who had just become an Eminent Celestial managed to kill a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! Moreover, even Yang Zhen Xing, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan, had to flee from the purple-clad young man using the precious Fiery Blood Evasion Talisman.
‘Although Lord Patriarch managed to escape, it would probably take a long time before he finds the forefather and returns the estate…’ Yuwen Hao Chen thought to himself, feeling as though things were beyond his control now.
Duan Ling Tian nodded after listening to Yuwen Hao Chen’s explanation. ‘That’s why I can no longer sense him with my Divine Consciousness! I didn’t expect the Devil Clans would have something like this… Since he has escaped, finding him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.’ He knew Yang Zhen Xing would definitely look for the forefather of the Human-Devil clan now that he had escaped. Based on Yang Zhen Xing’s words, the forefather of the Human-Devil clan was probably a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial or stronger. He continued thinking to himself, ‘I might be stronger than an ordinary Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, but my strength is probably like a Fifth Tribulation Bodiless Celestial or Sixth Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at most. I’m definitely not a match for a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! I have to tie up the loose end here before Yang Zhen Xing contacts the forefather and returns. I can’t stay here for long.’
Duan Ling Tian no longer wasted time. He turned to look at Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, coldly. His killing intent that was targeted at Yang Zhen Xing immediately s.h.i.+fted to Yuwen Hao Chen.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
A gust of wind began to blow, and the sound of rustling could be heard in this silent place.
Everyone knew a fight was about to begin…
Yuwen Hao Chen broke out in cold sweat. Apart from wariness, fear rose from the depth of his heart as well when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. Three years ago, he could kill Duan Ling Tian with just a snap of his finger. However, now that three years had pa.s.sed, he did not even have the courage to strike first!
“Palace Master Yuwen, now that your Patriarch has escaped and his master is dead, it’s time for us to settle the score!” Duan Ling Tian said emotionlessly as he stared at Yuwen Hao Chen.
Duan Ling Tian’s words sounded like an explosive in Yuwen Hao Chen’s ears. He felt his blood run cold, and he was drenched in cold sweat.
Duan Ling Tian scoffed when he saw Yuwen Hao Chen remaining silent. He lifted his right hand, preparing to kill Yuwen Hao Chen. With his strength, it went without saying that he would be able to kill Yuwen Hao Chen with just a move. He mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy that was mixed with Saint Origin through the 99 Saint Veins when suddenly…
A female voice rang in the air. “Please show mercy!”
A figure flashed before Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. A white-clad girl with a shapely figure who was emitting a cold aura stood in front of Yuwen Hao Chen. She looked like an ice queen, n.o.ble and inviolable. She was looking at Duan Ling Tian with pleading eyes.
Duan Ling Tian frowned. He did not release the energy that had gathered at the tip of his finger, it stayed on the tip of his finger, blinking like a star.
At this moment, the void was rippling and distorting again. Upon closer inspection, one would see there were tiny cracks that were as small as needles in the void. It was almost unnoticeable.
“That’s Huang Wen Jing! The most beautiful person in the Human-Devil clan!”
“She’s Palace Master Yuwen’s favorite disciple. What is she doing, stepping forward at a time like this? Does she have a death wish?!”
“She’s biting off more than she can chew by interrupting Duan Ling Tian just as he’s about to kill Palace Master Yuwen. She’ll definitely die!”
Those from Three Palaces and Six Halls shook their heads when they saw Huang Wen Jing standing in front of Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, to protect him.
“She actually stepped forward at a time like this to protect her master even though she knows she’s going to die… At least, Palace Master Yuwen didn’t waste his time by doting on her!”
“Indeed… If I have such a disciple, I would have no regrets even if I die!”
“It’s such a pity that a beauty like her is going to die…”
Many people felt sorry for Huang Wen Jing.
“Little junior sister!” Yun Fu Ye watched Huang Wen Jing with an expression of embarra.s.sment on his face. He felt unworthy of being Huang Wen Jing’s senior brother. He was so frightened by Duan Ling Tian that it felt as though his body was filled with lead, rendering him immobile. He could not even step forward to protect his master!
At this moment, Yuwen Hao Chen finally regained his senses. His heart warmed at the sight of his favorite disciple protecting him. However, he quickly rebuked her. “Wen Jing, stand down!”
To Yuwen Hao Chen, his disciple had always been obedient. He thought she would definitely step aside after he scolded her. However, contrary to his expectation, his disciple stood unmoving in front of him. He felt his heart thumping wildly in his chest when he thought about Duan Ling Tian killing her.
Whoos.h.!.+
A gust of wind appeared again. Duan Ling Tian who was standing in the distance suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he stood in between Huang Wen Jing and Yuwen Hao Chen. He had appeared before them at a ridiculously fast speed.
“Duan Ling Tian, every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor… This matter is between both of us, please leave my disciple out of it!” Yuwen Hao Chen sighed in relief when he saw Duan Ling Tian appear before him without attacking Huang Wen Jing. Soon after, he said in his deep voice, “I believe with your current strength, you won’t bully a girl like her!”
“What a strong bond between a master and a disciple…” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently.
Huang Wen Jing regained her senses and turned around to look at Duan Ling Tian’s back. She pleaded urgently, “I beg you… Please don’t kill my master!”
When the people from the Three Palaces and Six Halls saw Duan Ling Tian appearing before Yuwen Hao Chen at lightning speed, they could not help but feel anxious. They were afraid Duan Ling Tian would kill them after he was done with Yuwen Hao Chen.
“How fast!”
“It seems like Palace Master Yuwen can’t even catch up with his speed!”
“Duan Ling Tian managed to easily kill a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. It should be as easy as killing an ant for him to kill Palace Master Yuwen who has just become an Eminent Celestial!”
“Will Duan Ling Tian let us go after he kills Palace Master Yuwen?!”
