Chen Yi Ru, as a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, could, naturally, tell with just a glance that the middle-aged man standing behind Di Chen was a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. How could he sit back and watch as a mere Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who was not even a threat to him shouted at his master?
“Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”
Although the high-ranking officials in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect had already suspected that Di Chen’s servant was a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at least, they were still stunned when they heard Chen Yi Ru’s words.
“Chen Yi Ru!” Di Chen’s servant, the middle-aged man, was furious. His face was red with anger as he said, “As a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, you actually acknowledged someone like that as your master! You’re an embarra.s.sment to all Bodiless Celestials!”
Chen Yi Ru scoffed. “Aren’t you a servant as well? Regardless, you certainly act like one. You’re no better than I am.”
“You…” The middle-aged man was infuriated but he had no way of refuting Chen Yi Ru’s words since he really did act like a servant to Di Chen.
“Master! Di Chen is a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!” Meanwhile, Chen Yi Ru sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian. “His true form is a Seven-clawed Golden Dragon… Moreover, his father is one of the top powerhouses in the dragon clan who’s a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at least. He’s also a Seven-clawed Golden Dragon.”
“Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?” All the apprehension and fear Duan Ling Tian felt vanished when he heard Chen Yi Ru’s words. Initially, he was worried that Di Chen might be a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial or stronger. It would be difficult for him to deal with Di Chen if that was the case. He might have to use the agreement between the dragon clan and Feng Qing Yang as leverage to chase Di Chen away. However, there was no need for that since Di Chen was a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial whom he could easily deal with.
“Duan Ling Tian!” Di Chen glared at Duan Ling Tian as he said scornfully, “Before you hit a dog, you should find out who is its master. Killing my man is akin to slapping my face… In view of the agreement between the dragon clan and the Seven Absolutes Sect, I’ll let this matter go if you kneel and kowtow to me!” He spoke arrogantly as though he was a G.o.d speaking to a lowly human.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened when he heard Di Chen’s words.
“How dare you!” Chen Yi Ru was enraged!
Many high-ranking officials from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect began to speculate among themselves when they heard Di Chen’s words. Was Di Chen talking about their old ancestor, Li Bing?
“The powerhouse from the dragon clan, Di Chen, said that Duan Ling Tian killed his man? Is he talking about our Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s old ancestor, Li Bing?”
“It’s very likely. After all, it makes sense.”
“You’re right.”
Naturally, there were some who were furious that Di Chen likened the ancestor of their sect to a dog. However, none of them dared to express their anger.
There were also some high-ranking officials who chose not to believe that their old ancestor had joined the dragon clan.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian burst out laughing. His laughter was so loud that it felt as though it could shake heaven and earth.
The crowd s.h.i.+fted their attention to him, wondering if he would kneel and kowtow to Di Chen.
Di Chen narrowed his eyes as his voice turned deeper. “Why? Are you unwilling to kneel and kowtow to me?”
As soon as Di Chen finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian stopped laughing. He said indifferently, “Di Chen! I’ll allow you to leave if you kneel and kowtow to me. Otherwise, you can stay here forever.”
Duan Ling Tian’s words were met with silence. Everyone was stunned by this turn of events. Initially, Di Chen had threatened Duan Ling Tian. In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian turned around and threatened Di Chen.
“Master!” Chen Yi Ru, who was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words, quickly sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian. “I know it’s not difficult for you to kill Di Chen. However, we must consider that he’s not a normal member of the dragon clan. His father is one of the top powerhouses in the dragon clan who’s a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial at least! If you kill him, his father definitely will not let this matter go!” A hint of fear could be heard in his voice when he reached the end of his sentence. A Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial could kill them as easily as cutting gra.s.s or slaughtering chickens. Even his master was no match for someone like that.
“I know.” Duan Ling Tian responded calmly to Chen Yi Ru through Voice Transmission.
Duan Ling Tian’s calm demeanor puzzled Chen Yi Ru, but in the end, he chose to stay silent.
This time, Di Chen burst out laughing as though he had heard the funniest joke in the world. When his laughter finally died down, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said coldly, “Duan Ling Tian, do you think you’re above everyone else just because you’re as strong as an ordinary Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Today, I’ll show you that there are many people who can put you in your place!”
“I know there are many people who are stronger than me. However, that doesn’t include you,” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly.
“Is that so? We’ll see… Even if your strength is comparable to an ordinary Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, I, a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, can still defeat you!” Di Chen said. As soon as he finished speaking, his Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body, leaving tiny cracks in the void. Looking at the void cracks’ size, it would probably take fifteen minutes for it to close.
Di Chen had seen Duan Ling Tian when he killed Li Bing through the Mirror Image Talisman. Based on that, he deduced that Duan Ling Tian was weaker than him. After all, although he was a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he was much stronger than ordinary Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial since he was close to becoming a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. In six months, he would have to undergo his sixth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation. After that, he would become a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! He genuinely thought someone like Duan Ling Tian whose strength was only comparable to ordinary Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials was not a match for him.
The high-ranking officials from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect were astonished when they heard Di Chen’s proclamation.
“Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Di Chen… is a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?!”
On the other hand, their sect leader, Gan Ru Yan, no longer looked worried after learning that Di Chen is merely a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. After all, she was aware that Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were no match for Duan Ling Tian!
“I’d like to see you try!” Duan Ling Tian smirked. Then, a destructive and terrifying energy surged out of his body.
The shrill sounds of a sword cry reverberated in the air as white sword rays shot out of his body. It did not take long before his body was enveloped by the blinding sword rays. Following that, his body disappeared from sight as though he had become part of the tens of thousands of sword rays.
‘Master is going to go all out?’ Chen Yi Ru’s eyes widened in antic.i.p.ation. He had only seen his master exert strength that was comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. However, based on his knowledge, if his master unleashed all his strength, he was comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.
Although Chen Yi Ru was excited to see Duan Ling Tian’s true strength, he still could not help but worry that Duan Ling Tian would accidentally kill Di Chen. ‘I hope master will show mercy and not kill Di Chen. Otherwise, we’ll be in big trouble once Di Chen’s father finds out about it!’
“Is that…”
After a while, the tens of thousands of sword rays suddenly transformed into a white three-foot-long sword. When it first appeared, it was glowing faintly. As time pa.s.sed, the glow faded and it looked like a simple and una.s.suming sword.
“Di Chen, do your best! You might not have the chance to take another shot!” A voice suddenly rang from the three-foot-long sword.
Everyone could recognize that the voice belonged to Duan Ling Tian.
“Duan Ling Tian… became a sword?”
“Is… Is this the legendary Body Sword Fusion that Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang used?”
“Duan Ling Tian’s accomplishment in the Sword Dao i-is so high?”
Among the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s high-ranking officials, there was no shortage of knowledgeable people. It was not difficult for them to identify the technique that Duan Ling Tian used.
‘Body Sword Fusion?’ Even Di Chen was shocked when he saw Duan Ling Tian transforming into a sword.
“This is Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang’s Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword! The Body Sword Fusion comes after the Sword Wielding Art… The former is much stronger than the later. Duan Ling Tian only used the Sword Wielding Art to kill Li Bing before this!’ At this moment, Di Chen felt his confidence collapsing!
