Chapter 2181 - I’m Sorry
Chapter 2181 I’m Sorry
Dong Lin could be considered as Duan Ling Tian’s old acquaintance. It was all due to Dong Lin that Dong Yuan Jin, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, had thought of Duan Ling Tian as a thorn in his side and itched to kill him!
“Exempted from death?” Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Dong Lin when he heard his words. An expression of disdain appeared on his face as he said, “I’m sorry. I’m not sure about other people, but if it’s you, there’s no need for me to fear death at all!”
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, everyone burst into an uproar as they looked at Dong Lin. It was obvious Duan Ling Tian was trying to provoke Dong Lin. They knew it was true that Duan Ling Tian did not need to fear death in front of Dong Lin. Both of them were on completely different levels after all. Dong Lin was no match for Duan Ling Tian at all in the present and the past. Based on their innate talent, it was not something that they could change.
“You!” Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s provocative words, Dong Lin felt his blood boiled. However, he had no words to refute Duan Ling Tian’s words. He had spoken the truth after all. Why would Duan Ling Tian need to fear death if Dong Lin was no match for him at all? Nevertheless, he was furious when he heard Duan Ling Tian ridiculing him.
At this moment, many people were looking at Dong Ling with a sneer on their faces, causing him to feel mortified.
Suddenly, a thunderous voice resounded in the air. “Duan Ling Tian, you might not need to fear death with him, but what about me?” A middle-aged man rose into the air and stood in front of Dong Lin, shielding him.
The middle-aged man had a sturdy body. He looked like an iron tower as he stood protectively in front of Dong Lin.
Whoosh!
When the middle-aged man appeared, it was as though a gust of wind was blowing.
At the same time, a plainly-dressed old man appeared beside Dong Lin. He stood quietly behind the middle-aged man like a servant.
“It’s Vice Hall Master Dong!”
“That’s Elder Yang who’s always with Vice Hall Master Dong! Elder Yang is at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. His strength isn’t inferior to Vice Hall Master Dong!”
“I’ve heard my master talking about Elder Yang before. He said that Elder Yang’s strength is not inferior to him!”
“Your master is Vice Hall Master Jiang, right?”
“Yes!”
The people in the surrounding began to whisper among themselves when the middle-aged man and the old man appeared.
When Duan Ling Tian heard their words, he shifted his eyes to the middle-aged man. “Dong Yuan Jin?” His eyes were piercing as he looked at the middle-aged man.
Duan Ling Tian was the kind of person that lived by these words, ‘Don’t look for trouble with me, and I won’t look for trouble with you.’ He did not think he was out of line for acting this way since Dong Lin had looked for trouble with him first. Moreover, Dong Yuan Jin had wanted to kill him for his son’s sake. How could Duan Ling Tian possibly endure this?
“Duan Ling Tian, you’re the bravest true disciple I’ve ever seen in Fire Worship Sect!”
Although this was Dong Yuan Jin’s first time meeting Duan Ling Tian, a hint of hostility could be seen in his eyes.
“You’re just a true disciple. Not only did you trespass on the Enforcement Hall, but you even trespass on the forbidden area in the Enforcement Hall. Moreover, you even dare to ask me, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, to get my ass out here to see you?” Dong Yuan Jin said through clenched teeth.
Although Dong Yuan Jin’s expression was calm, people in the surroundings could feel his killing intent. Everyone knew he was furious.
“Indeed. I don’t think there’s any true disciple as brave as Duan Ling Tian in the history of the Fire Worship Sect!”
“It’s not just the Fire Worship Sect. I’m sure even the other two great sects didn’t have such a disciple as well.”
“I’m really curious where Duan Ling Tian gets his courage from. He barged into the Enforcement Hall and the forbidden area and told Vice Hall Master Dong to get his ass out here! Doesn’t he know this is enough for Vice Hall Master Dong to punish him?”
“Although Lord Sect Leader had asked for Duan Ling Tian’s return, with the way Duan Ling Tian’s acting, I’m afraid he would be flayed alive even if he’s not killed!”
“I wonder what goes through his mind.”
The people in the surroundings whispered among themselves. They thought Duan Ling Tian was doomed.
“You flatter me,” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly in response to Dong Yuan Jin’s mockery.
Dong Yuan Jin was enraged again when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s reply. Bloodcurdling killing intent could be seen in his eyes as though he was about to devour someone.
“You flatter me?”
“Don’t tell me Duan Ling Tian is unaware that Vice Hall Master Dong is mocking him?”
“I think he’s being obtuse on purpose!”
Duan Ling Tian’s reply caused the crowd to break into an uproar. They did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so daring even at this point. Could it be that he was not aware of the danger he was in?
At this moment, Dong Yuan Jin laughed out of anger. He laughed for a while before he stopped and looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly.
“Duan Ling Tian, I don’t care if Lord Sect Leader personally invited you to return. Do you believe I’ll still be able to send you to the Punishment Hall and let you experience all kinds of excruciating torture?” Dong Yuan Jin’s voice was extremely cold. When he spoke, it felt as though the temperature in the surroundings had dropped a few degrees. His anger was apparent.
Everyone turned to look at Duan Ling Tian to see how he would react.
“I’m sorry. I don’t believe you,” Duan Ling Tian said calmly with a shrug.
Dong Yuan Jin was further enraged when he heard this.
Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “I almost forgot you asked me a question earlier. Let me answer you. Not only am I unafraid of death when faced with your son, but I’m unafraid of death even when I’m facing you, Dong Yuan Jin. You think I’ll tremble in fear from your threats? I’m not sure about other people, but you don’t scare me at all!” Duan Ling Tian did not feign politeness at all as he spoke to Dong Yuan Jin.
Only the sound of breathing could be heard when Duan Ling Tian finished speaking. Everyone was shocked by his words. Even Dong Yuan Jin, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, his son, Dong Lin, and the old man standing behind him were shocked and confused by Duan Ling Tian’s words. They did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so arrogant.
“Arrogant! He’s too arrogant!” Many people whispered among themselves when they regained their senses.
“Duan Ling Tian, you’re seeking death!” Dong Yuan Jin hissed after he regained his senses. His gaze was cold and a fearsome aura began to rise from his body.
The atmosphere was incredibly tense at this moment. It felt as though a fight would break out at any time.
Suddenly, the old man said, “You have to die for humiliating master!” He disappeared from behind Dong Yuan King and charged at Duan Ling Tian at a fast speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderous noises resounded in the air as the old man charged at Duan Ling Tian. He unleashed all his strength and techniques without any reservation. All his moves were filled with killing intent. It was obvious he planned to kill Duan Ling Tian. It seemed like he did not care that the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect had personally invited Duan Ling Tian back to the sect.
“I’m sorry. I’m afraid your tiny bit of strength is insufficient to kill me,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently. He remained unmoving like a mountain in the face of the old man.
The crowd saw Duan Ling Tian raised his right hand. He had clenched his fist before he moved it. It was so fast that they did not catch his movement at all.
Bang!
As soon as Duan Ling Tian moved his hand, a thunderous explosion rang in their ears.
In the next moment, all of them were bewildered when they saw Elder Yang, Vice Hall Master Dong’s servant who was at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and whose strength was not inferior to Dong Yuan Jin, had exploded with just a punch from Duan Ling Tian!
