Chapter 3250: The Blood Skull Gang’s Headquarters
“You talk too much!” Duan Ling Tian said coldly when He Tian Chun made a fuss. Celestial Origin Energy that was boosted with the s.p.a.ce Elemental Profundity surged out of his body and swept out.
Whoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air before he reappeared behind He Tian Chun.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian raised his arms as a terrifying energy swept out and shrouded He Tian Chun before He Tian Chun even had time to react.
Thunderous noise rang in the air as energy, in the s.p.a.ce He Tian Chun was caught in, shredded him into a million pieces. In the end, all that was left of him was a Spatial Ring and purely defensive Celestial Weapon.
The He Clan elders only regained their senses after He Tian Chun died. The strongest person in the He Clan was so easily killed by Duan Ling Tian, the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion?
“How… How’s this possible?!”
The He Clan elders looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock, fear, and disbelief. They had heard about Duan Ling Tian when he rose to fame in the Southern Heaven Territory about 200 years ago. At that time, he was just a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who was invincible in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. How did he gain the strength in just 200 years to kill He Tian Chun so easily?
Although He Tian Chun was not a t.i.tled Celestial Lord, he was almost as powerful as one. And yet, he was so easily killed by the purple-clad young man in front of them!
“How strong!” Xiang Qin Yun, the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord, looked at Duan Ling Tian warily. Initially, he had been dissatisfied with Duan Ling Tian’s behavior due to He Tian Chun’s words. However, at this time, he no longer dared to express his dissatisfaction. After all, it was clear Duan Ling Tian was, at least, as strong as he was. Most importantly, Duan Ling Tian was accompanied by two Celestial Emperors. Although the Celestial Emperors said they would not interfere, even if they went back on their words, who would know? They could easily kill him, after all.
After a while, Xiang Qin Yun seemed to think Duan Ling Tian’s name sounded familiar. ‘Duan Ling Tian? His name sounds familiar…’ However, he could not remember when or where he had heard this name.
“Southern Heaven Celestial Lord…” the He Clan elders called out before they asked Xiang Qin Yun to avenge He Tian Chun.
Alas, Xiang Qin Yun did not even spare them a glance before he left without looking back.
The He Clan elders’ expressions turned grim immediately. It was obvious that even the ruler of the Southern Heaven Territory did not dare to fight Duan Ling Tian. At this moment, all of them were frightened and worried that Duan Ling Tian would annihilate the entire He Clan.
“Senior, it’s done. I have to leave soon,” Duan Ling Tian said to the Pavilion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion’s Imperial Tutor Pavilion who was still in shock.
Before he left with Zhuge Feng, Zhuge Yun, and Huan’er, Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “Senior, if I have time, I’ll visit you in the Profound Nether Mansion in the future.”
At this time, the old man finally regained his senses. “Father… has been avenged?” He felt as though he was dreaming, and it took him a long time to accept this. When he finally regained his composure, he murmured, “It’s truly surprising. In just a short time, he grew strong enough to kill He Tian Chun. Although He Tian Chun was reckless and unprepared when Duan Ling Tian struck, it’s still obvious Duan Ling Tian’s as strong as a t.i.tled Celestial Lord!”
The old man was not aware that that was not the extent of Duan Ling Tian’s power even though he had cast all the profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce earlier. He still had many tricks up his sleeves. Put aside the two Ning Dragons living in his Little World, just the boost from the Five Divine Elements was enough to give him strength comparable to an ordinary Celestial Emperor. Currently, most t.i.tled Celestial Lords were a match for him at all. After all, the Devata Realms were vast. In the 81 Devata Realms, there would definitely be extraordinarily strong t.i.tled Celestial Lords with strength comparable to Duan Ling Tian due to fortuitous encounters.
…
After leaving the He Clan, Huan’er asked, “Brother Ling Tian, where are we going next?”
“Let’s go to the Blood Skull Gang’s headquarters,” Duan Ling Tian said as his eyes gleamed coldly, “However, we’ll have to find out where the headquarters is hidden.”
Back then, the Blood Skull Gang had brought Duan Ling Tian a lot of trouble. There were a few instances where he could have died.
Although Duan Ling Tian searched wholeheartedly for the Blood Skull Gang’s headquarters, he could not find it. After all, the headquarters changed locations frequently.
“I think we’ll have to see the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord again…”
…
The Southern Heaven Celestial Lord, Xiang Qin Yu, did not expect that not long after he left the He Clan and returned to his cultivation place, the people he had met at the He Clan were already waiting for him in his cultivation place.
“I want the location of the Blood Skull Gang’s headquarters,” Duan Ling Tian said bluntly.
Xiang Qin Yun looked at Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun who were next to Duan Ling Tian before he mulled over Duan Ling Tian’s strength. In the end, although he was rather unwilling, he revealed the location of the Blood Skull Gang’s headquarters to Duan Ling Tian. He could not say he did not know the location; he was the ruler of the Southern Heaven Territory, after all.
After Duan Ling Tian and the others left, he thought to himself, ‘Does Duan Ling Tian have a grudge with the Blood Skull Gang as well?’
…
In the Blood Skull Gang’s headquarters.
Boom!
Thunderous noises rang in the air as Duan Ling Tian struck,
All the buildings in the Blood Skull Gang’s headquarters were reduced to rubble by his s.p.a.ce energy in just a blink of an eye.
Blood flowed on the ground like a river. Many a.s.sa.s.sins and members of the Blood Skull Gang with lower cultivation bases had died immediately. Naturally, there were many who survived as well.
Soon after, a middle-aged man dressed in a long red robe led a group of people over; all of them looked miserable. He looked at the raging s.p.a.ce energy with a frown and asked Duan Ling Tian, “Who are you? Why are you wreaking havoc in the Blood Skull Gang’s headquarters?”
Despite the frowns on their faces, there was no anger in their eyes. There was only wariness when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was obvious to them the person before them was extremely powerful.
“Duan Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently.
“Duan Ling Tian?”
Most of the people from the Blood Skull Gang were confused. Then, an old man standing behind the red-clad middle-aged man said in a trembling voice, “Many years ago, we received an a.s.signment to kill Duan Ling Tian…”
“You… You’re Duan Ling Tian?” The red-clad middle-aged man looked at Duan Ling Tian in disbelief. Although he had heard of Duan Ling Tian’s achievements in the past, he did not understand how Duan Ling Tian could grow so strong in such a short time. He was certain that he was no match for Duan Ling Tian now.
“Sir, we’ve already called off the a.s.signment… Moreover, it wasn’t personal. We were just accepting a job,” the red-clad middle-aged man said with a bitter smile.
“Do you think I can’t see you if you hide in the crowd?” Duan Ling Tian said, completely ignoring the red-clad middle-aged man. He was looking at an old man who was hiding among the crowd. It is none other than Blood Skull Gang’s Leng Ye.
Swoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air and reappeared next to Leng Ye. Following that, he caught Leng Ye by his neck like how an eagle would catch a chick. A predatory smile appeared on his face as he said, “The last time we met… was at Yan Mountain Mansion in the Jade Emperor Heaven’s Equal Heaven Territory, right?”
At that time, Duan Ling Tian would have died if it were not for Ling Jue Yun’s Celestial Talisman.
At this moment, Leng Ye was shocked. His face was ashen. He did not expect the young man whom he could easily kill back then had grown so strong. About 100 years ago, when Duan Ling Tian rose to fame in the Southern Heaven Territory with his achievements in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, he knew he would never be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian in this lifetime. Therefore, he buried his hatred for Duan Ling Tian deep in his heart. Nevertheless, he did not expect Duan Ling Tian would be so strong. He was certain Duan Ling Tian was even stronger than the Leader of the Blood Skull Gang. Otherwise, the leader would have attacked Duan Ling Tian by now.
“Duan Ling Tian, I… I was just carrying out my mission,” Leng Ye said bitterly, “I have no grudge with you. If it weren’t for the mission, I wouldn’t attempt to kill you at all.”
Duan Ling Tian only scoffed before he killed Leng Ye instantly with the raging s.p.a.ce energy.
