Chapter 2583 Fight Until One of Us Dies!
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian held a sword and saber in each hand. It was the Celestial Weapons of the two Centurions of the Silverwyrm Army.
“W-what’s going on?”
“A-aren’t those our centurions’ Celestial Weapons? Why are they in his hands?”
The two Centurions were not the only ones who were shocked, the eight decurions were shocked as well. How did their centurions’ Celestial Weapons end up in the hands of the purple-clad young man who had just ascended? Moreover, it seemed that he was using the power of the Celestial Weapons as well earlier. That was how he managed to turn defeat into victory. Most importantly, from what they could vaguely see, if the purple-clad young man did not stop his attack promptly, their two centurions would have died.
An expression of shock and incredulity appeared on the middle-aged centurion’s face. “It was you who snatched my Celestial Weapon away earlier?” At this moment, realization finally dawned on him after he saw his weapon in Duan Ling Tian’s possession.
“What method did you use?” The seemingly young centurion asked. Flames of greed burned in the depths of his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. It seemed as though he had forgotten how he would have died if Duan Ling Tian did not cease his attack earlier!
Duan Ling Tian did not deign to reply to their questions. Instead, he said indifferently, “I’m aware both of you tried to save me earlier because of my Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. However, since both of you didn’t have the intention to kill me, I’ll let this matter go. I’ll take these two Celestial Weapons as compensation!” He did not even look at them before he turned to leave after speaking.
However, before Duan Ling Tian could leave, the seemingly young centurion glared at Duan Ling Tian’s back and said coldly, “Little brat, although you have the Celestial Weapons, do you really think you can just leave? Don’t you forget you’re a mere Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial who has just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven! You might be stronger than us because you’ve mastered superior Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities and possess our Celestial Weapons. However, these are all physical attacks. If we were to cast our soul attacks, with the soul of a Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial, you’ll definitely die. Therefore, I advise you to return our Celestial Weapons and obediently follow us to the Silverwyrm Army’s camp!” His tone was threatening. It was clear if Duan Ling Tian did not comply with his request, he was going to cast a soul attack.
The eyes of the decurion, Wang Wei, lit up like stars in the night sky upon hearing these words. “That’s right! How could I have forgotten about this! We can deal with him by using soul attacks!”
“He’s so strong that we’ve forgotten he’s just a mere Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial. With this soul, let alone the two centurions, he wouldn’t even be able to defend against our soul attacks!”
“Even the weakest among us is a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial. A mere Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial definitely won’t even be able to defend against a soul attack by a Blue Moon Heavenly Celestial!”
“If the two centurions who are Green Sun Golden Celestials cast their soul attacks, I’m afraid this newly ascended young man would have his soul scattered in just an instant!”
When the seven decurions looked at Duan Ling Tian again, the fear in the depths of their eyes had been replaced with courage.
Duan Ling Tian stopped in his tracks when he heard the seemingly young centurion’s words. “Soul attack?” He did not even deign to turn back to look at them as he said indifferently, “You may cast soul attacks at me if you wish! However, let me warn you, if you cast soul attacks on me, we’ll fight until the other dies. There’ll be no turning back once you attack me!” Although there was no inflection in his tone when he spoke, his words sounded so cold that the men from the Silverwyrm Army felt as though they were in an ice cellar.
The seemingly young centurion was the first to regain his senses. He sneered. “Little brat, are you trying to call our bluff? Do you think I’ll fall for it and not cast a soul attack on you?”
Similarly, the middle-aged centurion and the eight decurions shared the same thought. All of them thought Duan Ling Tian was just putting on an act. After all, even a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial who was not particularly skilled in soul attacks could still kill a Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial with a soul attack. After all, the difference between the souls was too large. There were six levels between the two cultivation bases.
Duan Ling Tian only smiled indifferently. He did not take their words to heart and began to fly away. When he was in the mundane realm, he had faced a soul attack from a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and remained unharmed. Although the two centurions were quite strong, their soul attacks might not even be as strong as a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Therefore, was there a need for him to be afraid?
The seemingly young centurion’s expression changed greatly when he saw Duan Ling Tian ignoring him and leaving. “You’re seeking death!” His eyes flashed as a streak of light shot out from his glabella. The streak of light was the soul attack he had cast in anger.
Swoosh!
The centurion’s soul attack flew across the sky, targeting Duan Ling Tian. It seemed indestructible as it shot toward Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened. He turned back and roared, “Seeding death!” Then, he instantly cast his techniques. “Sword Battle Formation! Thirteen Green Lotus Swords!” A burst of sword rays emerged from the Celestial Sword in his hand and merged with the thousands of sword rays formed by his Celestial Origin Energy. Then, the thousands of sword rays transformed into a Sword Battle Formation that flew out, leaving dozens of afterimages in its wake.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
When the afterimages merged with the Sword Battle Formation, its power surged even more. It flew out with destructive power toward the seemingly young centurion who had cast the soul attack on Duan Ling Tian.
The seemingly young centurion had already expected Duan Ling Tian’s strike. He sneered. “Although your attack is powerful, it’s impossible for you to drag me down with you to die together! At most, I’ll be severely injured. However, you’ll most certainly die!” His expression turned solemn when he finished speaking. His Celestial Origin Energy that had been roiling under his skin surged out at this moment. It seemed as though he had divine help as the energy formed a thick and translucent wall before him. The wall was like an impregnable fortress!
During the critical juncture, the seemingly young centurion had successfully cast his defensive method. Without wasting time, his Celestial Origin Energy surged again as he prepared to cast his ultimate attack to counter Duan Ling Tian’s formidable Sword Battle Formation. Since he was well prepared, he was confident that he would be severely injured at most.
“Let’s see how you’ll die!” After making all the necessary preparations to defend himself, the seemingly young centurion watched as the streak of light, which was his soul attack, entered Duan Ling Tian’s body like an indestructible force. He smiled triumphantly, certain that he was going to see Duan Ling Tian’s soul being destroyed by his soul attack.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was calm when faced with the soul attack from the seemingly young centurion. It was clear he did not take the soul attack seriously. When the soul attack entered his body, it instantly headed for his soul. However, just as he had expected, as soon as the soul attack drew close to his soul, the defective metal piece suddenly shone brightly and devoured the soul attack. The soul attack disappeared in just a blink of an eye, leaving no trace behind.
After that, Duan Ling Tian looked at the centurion, who was looking at him like a dead man walking, and smiled contemptuously. His voice was dripping with disdain as he said, “Is this all there is to the soul attack of a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial?”
The triumphant smile on the seemingly young centurion’s face vanished immediately. His eyes widened as he looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock and horror. It was as though he had just seen a ghost. “I-Impossible!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Meanwhile, a thunderous explosion rang in the air. Duan Ling Tian’s Sword Battle Formation had collided with the seemingly young centurion’s offensive and defensive techniques.
