Chapter 3677: Wu Feng Yin, the Second Elder of the Hidden Fog Sect
The purple-clad young man stood in the Extreme Martial Arena with a calm expression as though everything that had just transpired was insignificant. It was as though he had long predicted this outcome.
I already gave you a chance.
The purple-clad young mans words reverberated in everyones ears. None of them expected him to kill Qi Yu so effortlessly. Since Qi Yu did not cherish the chance given to him, he could only die.
Under everyones horrified gazes, Duan Ling Tian looked at Tang Wu Yan and asked, When will the results for the Heavenly Stairs Battle come out?
What? Tang Wu Yan was still in shock. When she finally regained her senses, she hastily told Duan Ling Tian about the day the results would be released.
Alright, Im leaving first then, Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. Then, he teleported away under everyones eyes, leaving a b.l.o.o.d.y mess behind.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian left, a commotion broke out immediately.
Heavens! That Duan Ling Tian from Skywind Citys Hidden Fog Academy is so strong?
He killed Qi Yu so quickly. Did you see how he did it?
His sword attack seemed so simple, and yet, Qi Yu couldnt defend against it.
I didnt see it clearly so I dont know what happened exactly.
Most people could not see how Duan Ling Tian had killed Qi Yu with his law of s.p.a.ces triple Fused Profundity.
Is this the difference between the Four Supreme Laws and ordinary laws?
Some people thought Duan Ling Tians strength came from the law of s.p.a.ce, and some people thought otherwise.
Although the Four Supreme Laws are stronger than ordinary laws, the difference in strength isnt so wide. Perhaps, Duan Ling Tians overwhelming strength is due to his bloodline power?
Even Tang Wu Yan was confused. Hence, she sent Duan Ling Tian a message, asking, Duan Ling Tian, how did you kill Qi Yu earlier? The law of s.p.a.ce shouldnt give you such overwhelming strength, right?
Duan Ling Tian replied, I used the rudimentary stage of the Sword Dao Id comprehended.
At the same time, Elder Peng and another inner elder who were on duty at the Extreme Martial Arena had also figured out that Duan Ling Tian had killed Qi Yu using the Sword Dao. Since the others were quite a distance away, they did not hear the two inner elders surprised gasps.
Compared to using two triple Fused Profundities, the Sword Dao is more low-key, Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself when he returned to his room.
Then, he brought out the five Auspicious Pills that the Zhang clan had given him and consumed them all at once. With his talent, he would have been able to break through and become a King of G.o.ds if he had nine Auspicious Pills. In fact, any G.o.ds would have been able to become a King of G.o.ds with nine Auspicious Pills. There were many advanced G.o.ds in the Realms of G.o.ds who directly became Kings of G.o.ds after consuming nine Auspicious Pills.
It did not matter to Duan Ling Tian that he did not have nine Auspicious Pills. After all, five Auspicious Pills were enough to boost his cultivation base, bringing him closer to a breakthrough.
He had rushed back because he wanted to consume the nine Auspicious Pills and cultivate.
Duan Ling Tian had only decided to use the Sword Dao, the Weapon Dao of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, when he was making his way to the Extreme Martial Arena earlier. He, naturally, did not reveal his full comprehension of the Sword Dao and only showcased the rudimentary stage of the Sword Dao. After all, being able to comprehend the rudimentary stage of a Weapon Dao could also be attributed to luck and not just talent alone. Since his comprehension of the Sword Dao was rather profound now, he could easily conceal his strength.
Since he wanted to keep a low profile, he thought it was better to use the Sword Dao. It was more low-key compared to using two triple Fused Profundities. He would only attract jealousy, hate, and trouble if he were to show his true strength, after all. The prodigies were easily jealous, and he had no support in the Hidden Fog Sect since he did not plan to acknowledge a master, hence, it was better to keep a low profile.
Nonetheless, he would not keep a low profile regarding some matters. For example, even if it would attract attention, he had been determined to kill Qi Yu. He killed Qi Yu not only because Qi Yu wanted to kill him, but also to send a message to others like Qi Yu who harbored ill intentions. He wanted everyone to know that he was not a pushover.
After becoming a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, Ill gain the protection of the sect. At that time, even most core elders wont dare to simply make a move against me, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
At this time, he thought of the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect who was also Tu Fengs master. Since he had enmity with Tu Feng, Tu Fengs master definitely disliked him as well. It was likely that Tu Fengs master would help Tu Feng seek revenge. Even if Tu Fengs master did not personally make a move, Tu Fengs master might pull some dirty tricks to drive him away from the sect. Since Duan Ling Tian was just an inner disciple now, it would be easy for an elder to expel him from the sect.
However, it would be different if he was a core disciple. The second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect was not qualified to expel a core disciple, after all.
The five Auspicious Pills will help me make huge progress. Next, Ill focus on breaking through and becoming a King of G.o.ds. Barring any unusual circ.u.mstances, I should rank first in the Heavenly Stairs Battle. With that, Ill gain another Auspicious Pill. Once I become a King of G.o.ds, Ill be able to protect myself better in the unfamiliar Profound Energy Land.
With that, Duan Ling Tian focused on cultivating to break through as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, after the crowd left the Extreme Martial Arena, news of Duan Ling Tian and Qi Yus battle spread like a wildfire. In just a short time, the entire Hidden Fog Sect had already heard of Duan Ling Tians extraordinary feat.
Even some high-ranking officials of the Hidden Fog Sect were stunned when they heard the news.
Qi Yu died?
Qi Yu is dead? I had planned to ask him to become my third disciple. What a shame.
We lost Qi Yu, but we have Duan Ling Tian now. The Hidden Fog Sect didnt suffer a loss.
At the same time, Tu Feng, who was cultivating, was woken up by a message from his master, the second elder of the HIdden Fog Sect.
Tu Feng, didnt you go to Hidden Fog Academy previously to express my intention to accept Duan Ling Tian as a disciple?
The second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect was Wu Feng Yin. He was a middle-aged man with a purple diamond-shaped mark on his forehead. His expression was stern, and his loose green robe could not hide his tall and muscular body.
Go and invite Duan Ling Tian over. Ill personally express my intention to him, Wu Feng Yin said to Tu Feng.
After receiving his masters message, Tu Feng asked in confusion, Master, didnt you previously say that he doesnt know whats good for him for refusing you? You even said you no longer wish to accept him as a disciple.
Did I? Wu Feng Yins tone was casual as he said, Even if I did, I wasnt serious. Go and invite him over. Hes not even 3,000 years old, but he managed to kill Qi Yu with a move. If he becomes my disciple, my status in the sect will definitely rise. Im certain someone like him will have even greater achievements than me in the future.
Toward the end of his words, Wu Feng Yins tone showed signs of urgency.
What? Tu Feng was shocked when he heard his masters words. Duan Ling Tian killed Qi Yu with just a move? Master, are you mistaken? Are you sure he killed Qi Yu, one of the ten strongest G.o.ds among the inner disciples? The person who was ranked third during the last Heavenly Stairs Battle?
Tu Feng found it hard to believe that Duan Ling Tian had killed Qi Yu.
Wu Feng Yin said, Apart from him, who else could it be? Wu Feng Yin said indifferently, I know what youre thinking. You dont think Duan Ling Tian is a match for Qi Yu since Duan Ling Tian is just an intermediate G.o.d and has just recently joined the sect. However, youre unaware that due to the pressure on the seventh step of the Heavenly Stairs, Duan Ling Tian broke through and became an advanced G.o.d. He successfully pa.s.sed the eighth step and advanced to the ninth step before he was eliminated. Hes likely to rank first among the inner disciples in this times Heavenly Stairs Battle. Moreover, not only did he comprehend the law of s.p.a.ces triple Fused Profundity, but he has also comprehended the Sword Dao, one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, to the rudimentary stage. Its with this that he killed Qi Yu. Perhaps, it was due to his luck that he managed to form and comprehend the Sword Dao to the rudimentary stage, but with his talent, hell definitely be able to comprehend it to the mastery stage. Alright now. Stop wasting and invite him over now.
Yes, master, Tu Feng said as his eyes glinted coldly. Naturally, he did not express his displeasure to his master. After he was done talking to his master, he broke his bed in a fit of anger.
d.a.m.n it! Why is Duan Ling Tian so strong? The rudimentary stage of the Sword Dao? How can he be so lucky?
Tu Feng was aware that if Duan Ling Tian became his masters disciple, his master would definitely value Duan Ling Tian more than him even if Duan Ling Tians cultivation base was not as high as his for now..
