Duan Ling Tian had already prepared to make a move when he saw Qiu Zhi, the Second Elder of Qiu Clan, injuring Qiu An Ping, the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan. He had only stopped at the last minute because the Grand Elder of Qiu Clan had spoken up. However, when he saw the Grand Elder had no intention of punishing the Second Elder, Qiu Zhi, he sneered. Miss Qiu is her own person. Moreover, her fathers alive. Even if shes to get married, only her father has the right to decide. Its none of your business, you shameless old fart. Duan Ling Tian did not mince his words when he spoke. He directly called Qiu Zhi shameless and an old fart.
Li Feng, youre seeking death! Qiu Zhis expression changed when he heard Duan Ling Tians insulting words. At the same time, the Saint Origin in his body began to stir and shrouded his body. It was clear he planned to attack Duan Ling Tian. He did not think a sectless cultivator would dare to act so brazenly and scold him in front of so many people. He was furious.
Li Feng, who do you think you are to disrespect the Second Elder of Qiu Clan? Today, Ill teach you manners before we hand you over to the Dongfang Clan! An angry voice said as Qiu Zhi was about to attack. It was none other than Qiu Gang Yi, the Second Master of Qiu Clan, who had spoken.
Qiu Gang Yi seemed to have transformed into an arrow as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian at a high speed. His speed was as fast as a bolt of lightning. It was terrifying.
Saint Energy at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage surged out of Qiu Gang Yis body. It was extremely formidable. A strong gust of wind appeared in the Main Hall, causing everyones robes to flutter.
Whoosh!
In just a blink of an eye, Qiu Gang Yi was already near Duan Ling Tian.
Elementary Devouring Tactic! Duan Ling Tian mobilized his Sun Saint Energy as soon as he saw Qiu Gang Yi charging toward him. His Sun Saint Energy quickly surged through his 99 Saint Veins and formed whirlpools around him.
It was the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic! After Duan Ling Tian cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Qiu Clans Main Hall surged into his body at a terrifying speed. It fused with his Sun Saint Energy immediately!
When Qiu Gang Yi was a few meters away from Duan Ling Tian, the Sun Saint Energy in Duan Ling Tians body reached its peak. It was comparable to the Saint Energy at the peak of the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage!
Duan Ling Tians eyes turned cold. A hint of killing intent could be seen in his eyes.
Suddenly...
Xiu!
It did not seem like Duan Ling Tian moved at all. However, the sound of sword whistling in the air could be heard. It disappeared as soon as it appeared like a ghost.
For a time, the Main Hall was silent.
Under everyones watchful eyes, Qiu Gang Yi who was several meters away from Duan Ling Tian stumbled forward when he suddenly stopped moving.
When Duan Ling Tian moved to the side, a bloody wound in the shape of a ring appeared around Qiu Gang Yis neck. The wound seemed to be growing bigger.
Spurt!
Blood began to spurt out of the wound on Qiu Gang Yis neck like a fountain.
It did not take long before Qiu Gang Yis head rolled off his body. Two separate sounds of crashing could be heard as his head and body hit one of the walls in the Main Hall.
Fresh blood splattered everywhere in the Main Hall. It was extremely dazzling and eye-catching.
Qiu Gang Yi who had been decapitated was dead.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
The entire place was silent.
Everyone, except for Duan Ling Tian, shifted their attention to Qiu Gang Yi whose head had been separated from his body. A hint of shock and amazement could be seen in their eyes.
The scene before them was out of their expectations.
After a few moments, people began to gasp when they regained their senses. They still had a shocked expression on their faces. Even the six Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses present on the scene were no exception.
Everyone shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian after that. The look in their eyes had changed completely.
He... Hes actually so strong? Qiu Mu Qing looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock and disbelief. She felt as though she was dreaming. The man whom she thought was different when they first met was actually so strong. He had killed the Second Master of Qiu Clan so easily that it did not seem like he moved at all. Qiu Gang Yi was a powerhouse at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage after all! The fact that the purple-clad young man whom she had met today was able to kill Qiu Gang Yi meant he was at the Saint Celestial Stage like her father.
No... No... Impossible! Impossible! Similarly, Dongfang Zhu, the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan, felt as though he was dreaming. He lifted his hand and slapped himself before he pinched himself. The pain he felt confirmed he was not dreaming! It was real! The young man who had beaten him up at the restaurant today was a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse.
So what if hes a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse? My father and the two elders from Dongfang Clan are also powerhouses at the Saint Celestial Stage, Dongfang Zhu thought to himself as he began to relax.
Meanwhile, under everyones watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian leisurely stepped forward and walked toward the Qiu Clans Second Elder, Qiu Zhi, slowly. Each of his steps felt like a blow to Qiu Zhis chest, causing his expression to change dramatically. He felt as though he was about to break down.
Among everyone present, only the other five Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses could feel Qiu Zhis raging emotions. All of the could tell how strong Duan Ling Tian was based on his earlier strike!
Duan Ling Tian was halfway across Qiu Zhi when Qiu Zhi suddenly collapsed from the pressure.
Bang!
Qiu Zhi had broken down from the pressure and had fallen to his knees. When his knees hit the ground, a loud sound reverberated in the Main Hall.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the next moment, banging noises rang clearly in the Main Hall as Qiu Zhi kowtowed at Duan Ling Tian until his forehead began to bleed. He did not seem to feel any pain as he kept banging his forehead on the ground.
This scene shook many people. Qiu Mu Qing, Dongfang Zhu, and the two ordinary elders from Dongfang Clan were especially shocked. They were different from the other five Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses after all. Although they had seen Duan Ling Tian killed Qiu Gang Yi earlier, they thought he was just an ordinary powerhouse at the Saint Celestial Stage. They did not realize that Duan Ling Tian was no ordinary Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse, and he was much stronger than all the five powerhouses at the Saint Celestial Stage, including the Second Elder of Qiu Clan who was still kowtowing.
All six Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses could detect something from Duan Ling Tians earlier strike. Duan Ling Tians cultivation base was so strong that it might be at the Second or Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! There was no powerhouse at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in Clarity City, let alone a powerhouse at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. All of them looked at Duan Ling Tian with a worried expression.
The Second Elder of Qiu Clan felt particular nervous to the point he broke down when he saw Duan Ling Tian making his way to him. He quickly kneeled and kowtowed at Duan Ling Tian. Someone like Duan Ling Tian could kill him easily!
My... My lord... Show... Show mercy! Please show mercy, my lord!! Qiu Zhi said after he mustered up his courage to beg for mercy from Duan Ling Tian.
The humble attitude of the Second Elder of the Qiu Clan shocked Qiu Mu Qing, Dongfang Zhu, and the two ordinary elders from the Dongfang Clan.
Was the old man kneeling on the ground really the Second Elder of Qiu Clan? Was he not an arrogant person?
Qiu Mu Qing and the others could not understand Qiu Zhis behavior so they were shocked. It took them a while to regain their senses.
As soon as Qiu Zhi kneeled down, Duan Ling Tian had also stopped moving. He only looked at Qiu Zhi coldly as he said, If Im not mistaken, you said Im seeking death. Werent you planning to kill me?
