War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2491 Ke’er Appears

“I’d like to see how you plan to kill me without working together with the Devil Clans’ Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!” When the patriarch of the dragon clan heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he felt offended. He was so angry that he burst into laughter. “I don’t think you’ll be able to kill me with the techniques you’ve used so far!”

At this moment, most of the members of the dragon clan shook their heads, they thought Duan Ling Tian was delusional.

“Does Duan Ling Tian think Lord Patriarch is a pushover? Even if Lord Patriarch doesn’t have a Celestial Supreme Treasure, he’s still a bona fide Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. How could he, an Eminent Celestial who took a shortcut, kill the patriarch?”

“Judging from the battle earlier, it’s obvious that Duan Ling Tian has unleashed all his strength. Even then, he’s only evenly matched with Lord Patriarch at best. With his strength, it’s impossible for him to kill Lord Patriarch if he doesn’t have the help from the Devil Clans’ Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”

“Based on Duan Ling Tian’s words, it seems like he’s not colluding with the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans. Then, where does he get his confidence from?”

The members of the dragon clan were baffled by Duan Ling Tian’s confidence. In their opinion, it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to kill their patriarch with the strength he had displayed so far.

The patriarch smirked disdainfully.

Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian looked at the horizons as though he had just seen something or someone. He called out, “Ke’er.”

Upon hearing this, the members of the dragon clan were stunned.

“Ke’er?”

“There’s someone there?”

They quickly looked in the direction of Duan Ling Tian’s gaze and extended their Divine Consciousness. However, they did not discover anything.

“There’s nobody there…”

“Is there really someone there? Why can’t I sense them?”

“Is Duan Ling Tian trying to pull wool over our eyes?”

At this moment, the members thought Duan Ling Tian was only trying to be mysterious.

All of a sudden, the patriarch detected a presence behind the clouds that was moving in their direction. He cried out, “Who’s there?!”

Upon hearing the patriarch of the dragon clan’s words, the members of the dragon clan, including the two Supreme Elders, felt chills running up their spines.

“There really is someone there?!”

They kept their eyes trained on the clouds, waiting to see the person who was hidden from them.

Whoosh!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the clouds parted suddenly, and everyone saw a flash before their eyes. They barely had the time to register that, when a graceful figure that clearly belonged to a woman had already appeared next to Duan Ling Tian out of thin air.

“Who is she?”

“How fast!”

The two Supreme Elders’ expressions changed drastically when they saw the woman. The woman’s speed was so fast that they could not even catch any of her movements earlier. This meant the woman’s speed had exceeded what was perceptible by their eyes! Naturally, they understood what this meant.

“Even when the patriarch moves, we can still catch a trace of his movements. However, I can’t see any movements from the woman before she appeared.”

“Me too.”

The two Supreme Elders communicated via Voice Transmission. At this moment, a horrified expression had appeared on their faces.

“In that case, there are only two possibilities. This woman is either stronger than a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial or her sudden appearance caused us to miss her movements.”

“Indeed. It’s probably the latter since the former is too ridiculous to even think about.”

“If it’s the latter, then, this woman is definitely not simple.”

As the two Supreme Elders spoke to each other through Voice Transmission, they looked at the woman standing next to the purple-clad young man with trepidation in their eyes.

At this moment, the members of the dragon clan were also looking at the woman who had appeared next to Duan Ling Tian.

“Who is she?”

The woman was a peerless beauty. Her appearance could topple a nation. There were even a few of them whose eyes brightened at the sight of her beauty and lithe body. However, the remaining members of the dragon clan wore a grim expression on their faces.

“Who is this woman? What an incredible speed! I’m a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, but I didn’t see how she appeared… I only know she came from the sky.”

“Is she Ke’er? Duan Ling Tian called out this name earlier.”

“Duan Ling Tian seems confident that he could kill Lord Patriarch. Moreover, he said he doesn’t need the help from the Devil Clans’ Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial… Was he talking about this woman?”

“I-is it possible that this woman is a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?”

Fear began to rise in the hearts of the members of the dragon clan as they looked at the woman who appeared next to Duan Ling Tian. Many of them felt this woman was probably a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Otherwise, why would Duan Ling Tian be so confident?

At this moment, the patriarch of the dragon looked at the woman fearfully and asked, “Who are you?!” His Divine Consciousness had sensed the presence of this woman earlier, and he could tell this woman was not a simple person. This was also evident based on her speed. He could barely catch any traces of her movements when she had appeared earlier. This meant that the woman was quicker than he was! Similar to the others, he was convinced this woman was most likely a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial like him. As for her speed that was superior to his, he attributed it to some movement-type Celestial Supreme Treasure.

The woman who had appeared did not deign to reply to the patriarch of the dragon clan. She was none other than Duan Ling Tian’s wife, Ke’er.

Earlier, when Duan Ling Tian had tossed the Celestial Sword to the patriarch of the dragon clan, he had sent a voice transmission jade token to his wife, Ke’er, who was in the north, asking her to come to the dragon clan. This was because it was truly difficult for him to kill the patriarch of the dragon clan. He did not expect the patriarch of the dragon clan to be a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

Initially, Duan Ling Tian had no intention of making an enemy out of the dragon clan or its patriarch who was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. After all, he had completed his objective of seeking revenge for the members of the Seven Absolutes Sect. As long as the dragon clan agreed to let go of the enmity, he was prepared to let bygones be bygones. He did not expect the patriarch would be so insistent on killing him to avenge Di Huan. Moreover, the patriarch even coveted his Celestial Supreme Treasures. However, the straw that broke the camel’s back was the patriarch’s threat to annihilate the Seven Absolutes Sect once he ascended to a Devata Realm. He found the patriarch greedy and despicable for threatening him when the patriarch had no way of defeating him.

Earlier, Duan Ling Tian had willingly surrendered his Celestial Supreme Treasure to test the patriarch of the dragon clan to see if the patriarch would go back on his words and insist on annihilating the Seven Absolutes Sect after obtaining the Celestial Supreme Treasure. If the patriarch went back on his word, he would not hesitate to annihilate the dragon clan after killing the patriarch.

The patriarch would not have been able to guess that Duan Ling Tian was not making a fool out of him earlier and that Duan Ling Tian was only testing his integrity. If he had insisted on annihilating the Seven Absolutes Sect, the dragon clan would have died along with him.

Ke’er looked at the patriarch of the dragon clan before she turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. Her gaze softened instantly as soon as she turned her eyes to her man. It seemed like he was the only person to exist in his world. “Brother Tian… Is he the only one we’re going to kill?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Well, he’s quite trustworthy. When I gave him the Celestial Sword, he promised to leave the members of the Seven Absolutes Sect alone. For this reason, killing him is enough.”

After that, Duan Ling Tian looked at the patriarch of the dragon clan and said coldly, “You should be thankful that you didn’t go back on your words earlier. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be the only one to die today. Your entire clan would’ve died with you!” With these words, he revealed his intention to test the patriarch earlier when he surrendered the Celestial Supreme Treasure.

“It… It seems like Duan Ling Tian didn’t surrender his Celestial Supreme Treasure to Lord Patriarch because he was confident he would be able to take it back…”

“I thought Duan Ling Tian had done that to make a fool out of Lord Patriarch. Based on his words, it seems like he was only testing Lord Patriarch’s honesty.”

“Does this mean that, from the beginning, he had already decided to kill Lord Patriarch?”

The members of the dragon clan were not foolish. After hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, they quickly pieced the puzzles together.
