War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2272 Sir Duan Ling Tian 

Swoosh!

The sound of sword howling rang in the air.

Elder Lin Yuan who was chasing after Duan Ling Tian suddenly felt oppressed by a ferocious aura.

“Oh, no!” Lin Yuan was shocked. He quickly used his Saint Origin and Devil Qi to form a shield in front of him. The shield was so big that it seemed to reach heaven from the ground up.

As the sound of howling continued, Duan Ling Tian’s voice rang in Lin Yuan’s ears. “Compared to that elder whom I killed last year, that father of that He Sen Jie… You’re weaker than him.”

He Sen Jie’s father? Was it not He Qing?

He’s the one who killed He Qing..’ Realization dawned on Lin Yuan at this moment. Before he could continue his thoughts, he saw a flash of sword qi.

Bang!

The defensive shield that Lin Yuan had formed in a haste shattered under the sword qi’s strike. After it shattered the sword qi, it continued on its trajectory toward Lin Yuan.

“No…” Lin Yuan groaned in despair. Before he could make any move, the sword qi had already pierced through his glabella, leaving a bloody hole as blood gushed out.

Swish!

Before the sword qi pierced Lin Yuan’s glabella, his soul that looked exactly like him separated itself from his physical body. He had decisively abandoned his body by casting the Soul Detaching Technique that was unique to powerhouses at and above the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage when he realized he could not dodge Duan Ling Tian’s attack.

Would Lin Yuan be able to escape with his soul intact?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Like a flurry of hurricanes, Duan Ling Tian who was carrying Duan Si Ling moved forward before the sword qi pierced Lin Yuan’s glabella. It did not take long at all before he arrived in front of Lin Yuan.

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised, he only sneered. “Trying to escape with your soul?”

Thunder and lightning suddenly appeared in the sky…

Duan Ling Tian held Duan Si Ling tightly in his left arms as he pointed his right hand in the direction of Lin Yuan’s body and soul.

Bang!

A loud noise reverberated in the air.

Duan Ling Tian released his mighty Sun Saint Origin from his right hand. His Sun Saint Origin surged out like the tsunami.

“No…” Lin Yuan in his soul form cried out in despair as the wave-like destructive force landed on him. The force shrouded him like a lonely boat in the middle of the sea that had capsized and swallowed by the sea.

Lin Yuan the elder of Wandering Saint Palace who was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage Eight was dead…

Lin Yuan was the second elder at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage whom Duan Ling Tian had killed in the span of a year.

Did he die?!’ Peng Lai as the only elder on the scene was the only one who saw what had transpired. This had shocked him greatly. ‘This Duan Ling Tian… Was he toying with Elder Lin Yuan in the beginning?’ Peng Lai stared at Duan Ling Tian with a horrified expression. He continued his train of thought. ‘After he flew away, he did not escape, but he attacked Elder Lin Yuan instead. He had easily destroyed Elder Lin Yuan_s body and soul even though Elder Lin Yuan had used the Soul Detaching Technique!’ He felt a jolt of fear and his eyes widened when he recalled what had just happened.

How terrifying!

Elder Lin Yuan was a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! In fact, only the Palace Master would be able to kill Elder Lin Yuan easily in the entire Wandering Saint Palace.

I don’t know if Duan Ling Tian is a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but I’m certain that after he cast his assist-type Divine Ability, his strength is definitely at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! Based on his strength, it seems like nobody apart from the Palace Master is a match for him in the Wandering Saint Palace.’ Peng Lai’s heart thumped wildly in his chest when he thought about this.

Meanwhile, the four patrolling disciples, including Ding Jian Hong, finally discovered Lin Yuan had been killed by Duan Ling Tian even though they could not see his movements clearly.

“W-what’s happening? What’s with this situation?”

“Wasn’t Duan Ling Tian being chased by Elder Lin Yuan just a moment ago? How did he turn around and kill Elder Lin Yuan in just a blink of an eye?”

“Elder Lin Yuan is dead?’

“It only took Duan Ling Tian a short time to kill Elder Lin Yuan… Don’t tell me he’s a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?”

“Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage? Isn’t that the same level as our Palace Master?”

The patrolling disciples’ hearts were thumping in fear when they looked at Duan Ling Tian who was collecting Elder Lin Yuan’s Spatial Ring.

Apart from being shocked by Duan Ling Tian killing Elder Lin Yuan in such a short time, they also wondered if Duan Ling Tian was a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Otherwise, how could he kill Elder Lin Yuan in such a short time?

“Even if Elder Lin Yuan fought with Lord Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master and the strongest powerhouse below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Wandering Saint Palace, it would still be impossible for Lord Xing Yuan Ba to kill Elder Lin Yuan so quickly!”

“I agree. No matter how strong Lord Xing Yuan Ba is, he’s still at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage…Even if he’s at the peak of the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he still wouldn’t be able to kill Elder Lin Yuan so quickly!”

The two patrolling disciples commented one after another. They were certain Duan Ling Tian was a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

The few patrolling disciples were all in awe.

On the other hand, neither Ke’er nor Gan Ru Yan was surprised. After all, they had long known that Duan Ling Tian’s strength was comparable to a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! It was not a big deal to them that he killed an elder at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

“With his ability, if Palace Master knew that he wanted to join the Wandering Saint Palace, he would have personally welcomed him, and yet, not only did we reject him, but we insulted him as well…” Ding Jian Hong murmured after he sighed. His voice was soft so the other disciples did not hear him.

However, Peng Lai who was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, naturally, heard Ding Jian Hong’s words.

Peng Lai’s eyes widened as he sent a Voice Transmission to Ding Jian Hao. “Duan Ling Tian wanted to join our Wandering Saint Palace?” Previously, he only knew that Duan Ling Tian had killed their palace’s disciples and their elder when he rushed here, but he had no idea that Duan Ling Tian wanted to join their Wandering Saint Palace. He thought Duan Ling Tian had intentionally come to challenge the Wandering Saint Palace.

Yes,” Ding Jian Hong immediately responded.

Since he wanted to join our palace… Why did he kill Chen An?” Peng An was baffled.

“I think Chen An had said some offensive words about his women through Voice Transmission… I’m sure Elder Peng Lai has heard about how lecherous Chen An was… He must have thought those two women are from lowly backgrounds. Therefore, he did not think twice about propositioning them.” Ding Jian Hong transmitted his words with a bitter smile on his face.

“Damn it! So this is what happened!” Peng Lai’s expression darkened when he heard Ding Jian Hong’s explanation. He did not doubt Ding Jian Hong’s words at all. After all, a powerhouse like Duan Ling Tian would not kill their disciple for no reason if he intended to join them. Chen An must have crossed a line.

“Very well! He deserves it! In Chen Tong’s case, he deserved it for not being a good father.” Peng Lai felt the deaths of the father and son were justified.

“What a pity! If Elder Lin Yuan was privy to Duan Ling Tian’s strength. He wouldn’t dare to go against him even if Duan Ling Tian joins the Wandering Saint Palace no matter how deep his hatred is!” Peng Lai lamented Lin Yuan’s death. He did not think Lin Yuan would dare to seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian if he knew how strong Duan Ling Tian was. After all, everyone was afraid of death, especially if dying in vain.

Peng Lai took a deep breath before he asked respectfully, “Sir…Sir Duan Ling Tian, are…are you planning to join our Wandering Saint Palace?”
