A bunch of idiots! When Liu Guang Lin heard the others laughing at Duan Ling Tian, he cursed inwardly. Just because Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old, they assumed he would not be able to defeat Huang Jia Long, the fourth son of Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City.
Hm? All of sudden, Liu Guang Lin sensed the Divine Consciousness of a One Basic Celestial Duke probing him. His expression darkened as he turned to look at the person who probed him. As it turned out, it was a middle-aged who sat behind him.
Sorry, brother. I didnt expect you to be a One Basic Celestial Duke like me. The middle-aged man smiled sheepishly when he saw Liu Guang Lins displeased expression. He had assumed Liu Guang Lins cultivation base was weaker than his so he was certain Liu Guang Lin would not be able to detect his Divine Consciousness. Who knew Liu Guang Lin was also a One Basic Celestial Duke?
Curious? Liu Guang Lin frowned.
Previously, I overheard you addressing the young man on the battlefield as master. Based on that, I assumed your cultivation base should be lower than his. Who wouldve thought youre a One Basic Celestial Duke? the middle-aged answered honestly. He was puzzled. Why would Liu Guang Lin address someone who was weaker than him as master? The purple-clad young man was not even 100 years old, and he could not be stronger than a One Basic Celestial Duke. Otherwise, he would be knowingly violating the rules of the Southern Heaven Combat by participating even though he was not an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. He would definitely be punished by the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation.
Who says my master has a higher cultivation base than me? Liu Guang Lin glanced at the middle-aged man coldly before turning away and ignoring the middle-aged man.
Back on the battlefield, Huang Jia Long brought out his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, a seven-feet-long spear, as soon as he saw Duan Ling Tian bringing out a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. The spear was bright red and was shrouded by a mysterious energy. It looked as though flames were dancing around the spear.
Thats the Passage City Governors Mansions Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the Fire Cloud Spear.
I didnt expect City Governor Huang to give his fourth son this Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. It seems like he really favors Huang Jia Long.
Thats right. Among the Royal Grade Celestial Weapons he owns, the Fire Cloud Spear definitely ranks in the top three!
Its hardly surprising that Young Master Huang has a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon or the Fire Cloud Spear... I want to know where this purple-clad young man came from? How did he obtain a Royal Grade Celestial Weapons?!
Ive never seen him before... Perhaps, hes a disciple of some elusive powerhouse?
After Huang Jia Long brought out his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the spectators began to discuss among themselves. Even the participants on the other battlefields reached an agreement and stopped their fights to look at Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Long. Many of them tried to guess Duan Ling Tians identity. After Duan Ling Tian brought out his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, no one dared to call him an idiot anymore. Nevertheless, they still thought Duan Ling Tian was arrogant. So what if Duan Ling Tian owned a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon? Huang Jia Long possessed a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon as well! Moreover, Huang Jia Long was a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had mastered a double-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability. Apart from that, Huang Jia Long had also mastered his assistive Duke Grade Celestial Method.
The tension between Huang Jia Long and Duan Ling Tian was about to reach its peak when an elegant figure finally made its belated appearance at the royal seats.
Beloved, what took you so long? The Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation smiled at the newcomer. He patted the seat next to him, gesturing for the newcomer to take a seat next to him. It was clear the seat had been reserved for the newcomer.
Greetings, Imperial Concubine Lan!
Everyone in the royal seats, including the fourth prince, rose to their feet and greeted the newcomer before turning their attention back to the battlefield.
My apologies, Your Majesty. My eldest brother came to see me in the palace this morning. The beautiful woman who had just arrived, Imperial Concubine Lan, was the emperors favorite concubine in recent years. With the emperors favor, she could be considered as one of the most powerful women in the Imperial Palace.
Your eldest brother? Is it for Haoer again? The Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation asked.
Yes. The beautiful woman nodded. Soon after, tears began to stream down her face. My eldest couldnt bear it any longer. This morning, he used our clans secret technique to reveal the face of Haoers killer! The price of using the technique is steep. From now on, he will no longer make any progress in his cultivation base.
Upon seeing the tears that kept falling down Imperial Concubine Lans face, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation felt distressed on her behalf. Before he shifted his attention back to the battlefield, he patted her hand comfortingly and grimly said, Im sorry to hear that. However, since we know what the killer looks like now, it wont be difficult to find him as long as hes still in the Supporting Fall Nation! Ask your eldest brother to send the portrait of Haoers killer to the palace after the Southern Heaven Combat ends. Ill ask my men to make more copies and distribute them! Haoer was my nephew as well... Ill avenge him...
Thank you, Your Majesty! The beautiful woman hurriedly expressed her gratitude as she wiped her tears away; a smile began to bloom on her face. Then, she followed his line of sight and looked at one of the battlefields.
Isnt he the fourth son of City Governor Huang from Passage City? Hes the most outstanding one among City Governor Huangs sons, right? He entered the battlefield so soon? Imperial Concubine Lan was surprised to see Huang Jia Long.
Its not just that. It seems like he has met an interesting opponent. His opponent is a young man whos not even 100 years old. Moreover, the young man owns a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon as well. I wonder whose disciples he is... the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation said as he studied Duan Ling Tian. He would never believe someone who had not even reached 100 years old and possessed a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon did not have an extraordinary background.
Hes not even 100 years old, and he owns a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon? Imperial Concubine Lan was surprised. She shifted her attention from Huang Jia Long to Duan Ling Tian immediately. As soon as her eyes landed on Duan Ling Tian, they widened in horror. She had seen him before! In fact, she had just seen him this morning. Hes...
Imperial Concubine Lans clan was not a powerful clan in the Supporting Fall Nation. Her clan possessed a usually useless secret technique called the Blood Catalyst Secret Technique. At a steep price, one would be able to find the killer of ones immediate family such as a parent or a child. If two or more of ones children died at nearly the same time, the technique would only reveal the killer of the child that died recently. The price of using this technique was to have ones cultivation base stagnate forever. In other words, one was trading away ones future in exchange for information! To her knowledge, her eldest brother was the third person in the clans thousands of years long history to use the secret technique.
Hes... Haoers killer? Imperial Concubine decided to send a Communication Celestial Talisman to her eldest brother. She needed her brother to confirm it. After all, she was rather confused. Since the purple-clad young man was participating in the Southern Heaven Combat, it meant that he was only an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Even if he was capable of killing her nephew, how could he have killed the Three Talents Celestial King who was supposed to protect her nephew? After mulling over it, her doubts disappeared. Maybe his subordinate did it...
The Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation was so focused on the battlefield that he failed to notice the abnormalities of Imperial Concubine Lans behavior.
Imperial Concubine Lan decided to stay silent for now. She suppressed her anger and waited for her eldest brothers arrival.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield.
Huang Jia Long calmly said, Id like to see what tricks you have up your sleeves that give you such confidence! As soon as he finished speaking, his body flickered out of sight as he moved toward Duan Ling Tian at lightning speed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Huang Jia Long moved like the wind as his Celestial Origin Energy surged out his body. His Celestial Origin Energy looked like a golden dragon as it circled him. He thrust his seven-foot-long spear out at Duan Ling Tian. Golden energies similar to dragons appeared around his spear as well, and at the tip, blood-red lightning bolts flashed.
Faced with an opponent who also owned a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon and seemed confident of his strength, Huang Jia Long did not hold back and attacked with all his might. As the saying went, Even a lion would use all its strength when hunting a mere bunny. He did not underestimate his opponent even though his opponent was not even 100 years old.
Faced with Huang Jia Longs ferocious attack, Duan Ling Tian let go of his umbrella and merely said, I said earlier that Ill allow you to attack twice first. If you cant breach my defenses in two moves, Ill start to attack. If I cant defeat you in one move, Ill admit defeat. As soon as he finished speaking, his Celestial Origin Energy that he intentionally suppressed to the level of an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial surged out his body before it transformed into a golden Buddha silhouette that was surrounded by dark purple energy. The purple and the golden color looked brilliant as they shone together.
