Chapter 2383 Ignoring The Threa
“Kneel down and kowtow? Do it or die?” Duan Ling Tian said coldly as he pointed his three-foot-long sword at the Seven-Clawed Golden Dragon. The sword rays that were constantly released by the three-foot-long sword gave Duan Ling Tian an oppressive and intimidating air when he spoke.
Even Di Chen could not help but feel a jolt of fear when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. After all, he was the only one who could feel how terrifyingly strong the three-foot-long sword was. If the sword rays landed on him, there was no doubt that they would pierce him. The attack was comparable to that of a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!
Faced with the intimidating three-foot-long sword, Di Chen eventually put his pride and arrogance aside and lowered his head before he said, “Duan Ling Tian, let’s forget about this matter. There’s no need for you to kneel or kowtow to me.”
As soon as Di Chen finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian burst out laughing as he continued to point the three-foot-long sword at Di Chen. It was as though he had heard an extremely funny joke.
Swoos.h.!.+
As soon as Duan Ling Tian stopped laughing, he slashed the three-foot-long sword at Di Chen at a moderate speed. As the sword slashed across the sky, even the high-ranking official with the lowest cultivation base could see the sword due to its moderate speed.
Roar!
The Seven-clawed Golden Dragon roared in pain when a section of its thousand-meter-long body was cut off again. Duan Ling Tian had cut off about a few hundred meters of its body. It did not kill Di Chen, it only caused him to feel excruciating pain. Although Bodiless Celestials were formed from energy, they could still feel pain.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, light began to surge out from the Seven-clawed Golden Dragon’s body. It did not take long before the section that was cut off was completely regenerated. He regained his tail and claws in just a short moment!
However, many people could feel Di Chen’s aura had weakened after he had healed himself. It was only natural since it took a lot of energy for a Bodiless Celestial to regenerate their body parts.
After Di Chen restored his Seven-clawed Golden Dragon form, golden light suddenly surged from his body again, blinding the onlookers.
When the crowd opened their eyes, the golden light had disappeared, and they watched as the Seven-clawed Golden Dragon that was a few thousand meters long changed into Di Chen’s human form.
Swoos.h.!.+
However, even after Di Chen had transformed into a human, the three-foot-long sword still followed him around as it continued to release sword rays. At this moment, it was pointed at his glabella as though it was going to take his life at any time!
“Duan Ling Tian!” Di Chen’s expression was dark as he bellowed, “Don’t cross the line. I gave you an inch, and you want to take a mile!”
“You gave me an inch and I want to take a mile?” Duan Ling Tian smirked coldly as he said, “I should be the one to say this to you, right? Anyway, I’m too lazy to waste words with you. I’ll give you ten breaths to decide. If you don’t kneel and kowtow to me, I’ll kill you!”
Di Chen’s eyes widened when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He quickly spoke about his father to threaten Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian! My father is the Supreme Elder of the dragon clan. He’s a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!” After all, even if Duan Ling Tian’s strength was comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he was not a match for his father who was a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Logically, Duan Ling Tian should be afraid of his father.
Di Chen thought Duan Ling Tian would be cowed. To his surprise and fear, Duan Ling Tian just said nonchalantly, “You have eight breaths left.”
Duan Ling Tian was still planning to continue on even after he had said his father was a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Was Duan Ling Tian not afraid of his father seeking revenge from him?
Meanwhile, the high-ranking officials from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect gasped when they recovered their senses. Earlier, they had been shocked when Di Chen revealed his father was a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. However, they were even more shocked when they saw Duan Ling Tian ignoring Di Chen’s threat.
“Duan Ling Tian doesn’t seem to care that Di Chen’s father is a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”
“So he’s not afraid of a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”
“Does… Does this mean he hasn’t revealed his full strength yet?”
“I-impossible!!”
While the high-ranking officials discussed among themselves, Duan Ling Tian’s voice rang out again to remind Di Chen that he had five breaths left.
Di Chen snapped back to his senses when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of fear and confusion in his eyes as he asked, “Duan Ling Tian, aren’t you worried my father will seek revenge from you on my behalf?”
Duan Ling Tian did not deign to respond to Di Chen’s question, he only said, “Another four breaths left.” In a way, his lack of response was his response. He was clearly not cowed by Di Chen’s threat.
“Y-you!” Di Chen, naturally, realized that Duan Ling Tian was not worried about his father seeking revenge. Another wave of fear washed over him as he thought to himself, ‘Is it possible that Duan Ling Tian did not reveal his full strength earlier? Is he stronger than what he has shown? Could it be that he’s as strong as a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Is that why he’s not afraid of father?’ After a while, he calmed down and thought, ‘It’s also possible that he’s only putting on an act…’
“Two breaths left…” Duan Ling Tian’s indifferent voice rang in the air again.
Di Chen was in a dilemma. Should he discard his dignity and kneel and kowtow to preserve his life? Or should he hold on to his pride and dignity but lose his life in exchange? He did not want to die nor did he want to discard his pride and dignity.
“One breath left!” Duan Ling Tian’s voice rang coldly.
At this moment, the three-foot-long sword’s aura became even more intimidating and oppressive as it hovered in front of Di Chen’s glabella. The sword ray that was glinting at the tip of the blade was filled with killing intent.
Fear coursed through Di Chen’s veins and eventually he kneeled down regardless of the humiliation he had to bear. His face was flushed with anger, but he had nowhere to vent his frustration.
When the high-ranking officials from Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect saw Di Chen falling to his knees, they broke out in an uproar. Even Gan Ru Yan’s eyes were widened in shock.
This handsome young man was a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the dragon clan. Moreover, he had an extraordinary background. However, he was currently kneeling before Duan Ling Tian!
Gan Ru Yan could not help but feel worried on Duan Ling Tian’s behalf. ‘Di Chen’s father is a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial… It might not be wise for him to act this way, right?’
Chen Yi Ru who was standing in the distance sighed in relief when he saw this. ‘Fortunately, master didn’t kill Di Chen. Otherwise, Di Chen’s father definitely wouldn’t let this matter go.’ After a while, a frown appeared on his face. ‘However, even though master didn’t kill Di Chen, I’m afraid Di Chen’s father still might not let this matter go.’
The sword ray continued to glint at the tip of the three-foot-long sword that was pointed at Di Chen’s glabella. In just a blink of an eye, a purple-clad figure appeared directly in front of Di Chen.
“Kowtow!” Duan Ling Tian whose eyes and voice were emotionless stood in front of Di Chen.
“Duan Ling Tian, how… how dare you!” The Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the dragon clan could not help but say reproachfully when he saw this.
Just as Chen Yi Ru’s expression darkened and he opened his mouth to retort…
Swoos.h.!.+
The sound of a sword cry rang in the air…
Duan Ling Tian had casually slapped his palm in the air before a sword ray shot out and shrouded the Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the dragon clan and severed all his limbs.
The Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial screamed in pain. His face was ashen after he used his energy to regenerate all his limbs. His eyes were filled with fear when he looked at Duan Ling Tian, and he no longer dared to speak up.
Di Chen who was on his knees felt extremely humiliated. He asked through clenched teeth, “Duan Ling Tian…are you sure you want me to kowtow?”
“Do you want me to repeat myself?” Duan Ling Tian smirked. “Have you forgotten that kneeling and kowtowing are both your ideas?”
Di Chen growled. His body trembled as he forced himself to kowtow to Duan Ling Tian. Meanwhile, his teeth and fists were tightly clenched to the point where he was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and his hands were bleeding as well.
After Di Chen kowtowed three times, he instantly stood up and flew out of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. He did not want to stay a second longer in this place where he lost his pride and dignity.
Di Chen roared as he flew out of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. His voice reverberated in the air so loudly that it seemed capable of moving mountains and stirring the waves. “Duan Ling Tian, I swear if I don’t kill you, I’m no longer a dragon!”
