Chapter 2485 - How is that Possible?
2485 How is that Possible?
The members of the dragon clan were under the impression that Duan Ling Tian was still similar to how he was a few years ago. At that time, they found out his strength was comparable to Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Therefore, although Duan Ling Tian had disappeared for a few years, they assumed he was still as strong as a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. None of them believed Duan Ling Tian was a match for Di Huan.
However, there were a few members of the dragon clan who were much calmer and thought through the situation carefully.
“A few years ago, Duan Ling Tian was suspected to have strength comparable to Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial… During that time, he had completely disappeared. He must have been in closed-door cultivation. It’s likely that he has gotten stronger!”
“Since he has boldly come to the dragon clan’s estate and threatened to annihilate the dragon clan if the clan doesn’t accede to his request, he’s either really or confident or he’s just seeking death!”
“As the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect and the current successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the first Absolute, do you really think he would recklessly seek death?”
These minority of people had thought a lot about this and analyzed this. Unfortunately, there were too few of them. Their voices were drowned out by the majority of people who were filled with confidence in Di Huan.
Elder Di Huan appeared with a gust of violent wind above the dragon clan’s estate. When he saw the purple-clad young man nearby, his eyes narrowed as he bellowed, “Duan Ling Tian!” A hint of excitement could be heard in his voice.
Although this was the first time Di Huan met Duan Ling Tian, he had long memorized Duan Ling Tian’s appearance from the portrait he had seen. Even if Duan Ling Tian changed his face, Di Huan was certain he would recognize his physique. How could he not recognize Duan Ling Tian who was currently not in disguise?
In just a flash, Di Huan appeared before Duan Ling Tian. He stared at Duan Ling Tian coldly as flames fury burned in the depths of his eyes.
“Di Huan?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Di Huan intently as soon as Di Huan arrived. His expression was extremely frosty at this moment. It was not difficult for him to figure out that the person who had just appeared was Di Huan, the father of Di Chen, and the culprit responsible for the deaths of Gu Li, Yue Wu Ying, and Han Xue Nai’s master. Rage not dissimilar to a tempestuous storm rose in his heart immediately when he confirmed the person before him was Di Huan.
At this moment, a battle would happen at any time.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sound of wind howling in the air reverberated loudly as more and more people appeared around Duan Ling Tian and Di Huan. It did not take long before more than 100 people were present. These people had, naturally, come to watch the show. As soon as they arrived, the first thing they did was to greet Di Huan before they stood aside, intending to watch the show.
“It’s my pleasure to meet you, Supreme Elder!”
“Greetings, Elder Di Huan!”
The onlookers began to discuss among themselves.
“So he’s Duan Ling Tian? The Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect?”
“It’s him! Although I haven’t seen him in person, I’ve seen his portrait!”
“So this is the person who threatened to annihilate the dragon clan if we don’t hand over the culprit responsible for his sect members’ deaths?”
“Well, Elder Di Huan has already admitted he’s the culprit. I want to see what this person will be able to do to Elder Di Huan!”
Someone said disdainfully, “I think he didn’t know the culprit responsible for the deaths of his sect members is our Supreme Elder Di Huan!”
Most of the members in the dragon clan looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was a dead man walking.
Duan Ling Tian, naturally, noticed the contemptuous looks in the dragon clan’s members’ eyes, but he was not bothered by it. He looked at Di Huan emotionlessly. He asked icily, “So you’re the one who ordered your men to kill the members of my Seven Absolutes Sect?” Although his tone seemed indifferent, his killing intent was palpable.
“So what if I did?” Di Huan smirked, clearly not frightened.
“What enmity did they have with you or the dragon clan?” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes that were flashing coldly.
“They don’t have any enmity with the dragon clan and me. However, it’s just unfortunate that they were from the Seven Absolutes Sect. Duan Ling Tian, you humiliated my son, causing him to be obsessed with the matter. For that reason, he failed his tribulation. I want to kill you, but I couldn’t find you at that time. I can only vent my anger on your people! Rather than saying I killed them, it’s more appropriate to say that you killed them.” A sneer could be seen on Di Huan’s face when he spoke.
“Then, do you know why I humiliated your son?” As Duan Ling Tian spoke, energy surged out of his body, forming numerous whirlpools around him that absorbed all the Heaven and Spirit Energy in the surroundings. Then, the energy in his body surged, making him look as though he was shrouded by flames. Needless to say, he had cast his assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic.
“I’m not interested,” Di Huan replied coldly.
“You aren’t interested? However, I must still tell you.” Duan Ling Tian looked at Di Huan pointedly. “Your son thought he was stronger than me and wanted to humiliate me by asking me to kneel and beg for his forgiveness. I only gave him a taste of his own medicine.” His voice was extremely cold when he spoke. He did not feel guilty for what he had done at that time. After all, he had only treated Di Chen the way Di Chen had intended to treat him. He was enraged and found it unforgivable that Di Huan vented his anger on members of the Seven Absolutes Sect.
“So what?” Di Huan smirked, his eyes flashing viciously again. “Today, you arrogantly came to our dragon clan’s estate and trampled on the pride and honor of the dragon clan with your words. I will kill you today to avenge my son and to protect the pride and honor of our clan!” As soon as Di Huan finished speaking, a vast and majestic energy surged out of him. When it surged out, it instantly left cracks in the void that took a long time to close.
“The Supreme Elder is about to attack!”
“Elder Di Huan is getting serious!”
“Duan Ling Tian will surely die!”
The onlookers held their breaths in anticipation as they waited for the battle to start. Most people thought Duan Ling Tian would surely die.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Di Huan charged forward as he cried out, “Duan Ling Tian, die!”
As a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, Di Huan was not weak and his strength was not slow. In just a flash, he had disappeared before the eyes of the members of the dragon clan. Only a few Bodiless Celestial could vaguely catch his movements.
Regardless, even if the Bodiless Celestials thought Di Huan’s speed was extremely fast, it was extremely slow to Duan Ling Tian.
“Just like an ant!” Duan Ling Tian smiled sarcastically when he saw Di Huan attacking without even knowing his own capability. He lifted his hand, revealing a sword. This was the Celestial Sword he had used when he was in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.
“Body Sword Fusion!” At this moment, millions of sword rays shot out from the Celestial Sword.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Even Duan Ling Tian’s body was shooting out millions of sword rays before he finally transformed into a simple and unadorned sword. The sword hovered in the air, restraining its aura, looking ordinary.
In the next moment.
Under the onlookers’ watchful eyes, the simple sword that Duan Ling Tian had transformed into flew toward Di Huan at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.
Xiu!
A crisp sound of a sword cry rang in the air.
Everyone present on the scene could clearly see the sword. Even those weaker members of the dragon clan could vaguely see the sword. For this reason, everyone felt this sword was extremely ordinary.
Suddenly, a member of the dragon clan who was a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial laughed. “I thought Duan Ling Tian’s Body Sword Fusion would be extraordinary. Who knew it’s so ordinary!”
“He thinks he can fight Elder Di Huan?”
“How reckless!”
The Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the dragon clan wanted to continue mocking Duan Ling Tian when he suddenly stopped speaking. A horrified and incredulous expression appeared on his face at this moment. He cried out, “Heavens! How’s this possible?”
