War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
Chapter 2630 - Favor
Chapter 2630 Favor
To Qin Yu, the sword rays were like a ray of hope that saved him from the pit of despair!
“Duan Ling Tian?!” Qin Yu watched in horror and awe as the sword rays that repelled the Golden Celestials continued to shoot toward the Golden Celestials. It drowned them in just an instant.
“No!”
“No!”
Unlike their comrades who were killed earlier, these Golden Celestials saw what was coming. However, faced with the indestructible sword Formation, they could only shriek and cry in despair. The only thing that remained after that was a rain of flesh and blood.
Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian spread his arms and sent an invisible force to collect the Spatial Rings hovering in the blood rain. Since he killed those men, the rings were his to claim.
“How’s that possible?!”
“Damnit! How can this purple-clad young man be so powerful?!”
The Black and White Heroes who were retreating under Zheng Qiu’s attacks had also noticed their subordinates had been killed. A hint of shock and disbelief could be seen in their eyes as they took a quick glance at Duan Ling Tian. After that, they quickly focused their attention on the battle at hand. They could not afford to be distracted at this moment.
Meanwhile, Qin Yu looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock before he sincerely thanked Duan Ling Tian, “Thank you, Duan Ling Tian. I, Qin Yu, owe you my life.”
“It’s nothing. Please think nothing of it.” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly in response to Qin Yu’s grateful words. “Even if it were someone else, I would still save them.”
“I know.” Qin Yu nodded, but his eyes shone resolutely. “It doesn’t change anything, I, Qin Yu, still owes you my life.”
Faced with a stubborn Qin Yu, Duan Ling Tian merely shrugged. He no longer said anything. Even so, he was impressed by Qin Yu’s determination and character. At the very least, he was not someone who was ungrateful.
“Elder Zheng Qiu should be almost done as well.” Soon after, Duan Ling Tian looked ahead. He could vaguely see the Black and White Heroes retreating under Zheng Qiu’s violent and continuous attacks. It was obvious they would not be able to endure any longer.
About 15 minutes later…
Bang! Bang!
Two loud explosions sounded as the Black and White Heroes were sent flying after Zheng Qiu discovered a flaw in their defense. With just a strike, he severely injured them. The Black and White Heroes threw up a mouthful of blood, unable to regain their footing.
Upon seeing Zheng Qiu who was fast approaching them again, the black-clad old man knew they were definitely going to die. He sent a decisive-sounding Voice Transmission to the white-clad old man. “Brother, we should kill the purple-clad young man with a soul attack!”
“Okay!” The white-clad old man who was prepared to die agreed and looked at Duan Ling Tian who was standing nearby.
“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian felt an ominous feeling rising in his heart when he saw the Black and White Heroes looking at him intently with a vicious smile on their faces.
“No!” Zheng Qiu who was charging at the Black and White Heroes discovered their intention when he saw them disregarding his attack and focusing on Duan Ling Tian instead. His expression changed immediately.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Black and White Heroes’ eyes brimmed with determination as a streak of light shot out from their glabellas. The two streaks of lights shot toward Duan Ling Tian instantly. These were their soul attacks!
Whoosh!
It did not matter if Duan Ling Tian tried to make a run for it, the two streaks of grey light were locked on him. They continued shooting after Duan Ling Tian, seemingly unable to stop until they landed on Duan Ling Tian. Apart from that, their speeds were much faster than Duan Ling Tian. Gradually, they began to close the gap between them and Duan Ling Tian.
As the streaks of dark grey light were about to enter Duan Ling Tian, another streak of grey light shot out at light speed.
Swoosh!
Zheng Qiu had cast a soul attack as well to black the Black and White Heroes’ soul attacks. Unfortunately, his soul attack only managed to block one of the Black and White Heroes’ soul attacks. The other soul attack successfully entered Duan Ling Tian’s body.
“Duan Ling Tian!” Zheng Qiu’s expression changed drastically.
A cruel smile appeared on the Black and White Heroes’ faces.
When Qin Yu saw the cruel smile on their faces, his expression turned solemn. “Duan Ling Tian…”
At this moment, everyone thought Duan Ling Tian would certainly die after being attacked by a soul attack from a Violet Sun Golden Celestial.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, not only did Duan Ling Tian remain standing, but he even looked at the Black and White Heroes as he slowly said, “It seems like soul attacks from Violet Sun Golden Celestials are quite fast. Alas, soul attacks at your level are insufficient to cause me any harm due to my defensive Celestial Weapon’s protection!”
With the defective metal piece in him, Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unafraid of the Black and White Heroes’ soul attacks. He only tried to evade them to see if he could avoid them with his speed. He discovered that he would only be able to evade them if he used his Devata Artifact, the Seven Oracles Exquisite Sword, and cast a sword Formation to carry him away.
“A soul defense Celestial Weapon?” The Black and White Heroes’ faces darkened when they heard this, causing them to throw up another mouthful of blood. Their faces turned even paler. They did not expect the purple-clad young man in Zheng Qiu’s charge possessed a soul defense Celestial Weapon. Since it was capable of defending against their attacks, it had to be a mediocre Celestial Weapon at least.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A flurry of tornadoes that were like wind blades flew toward the Black and White Heroes, killing them in just an instant. The only things that remained were two Spatial Rings. Since Zheng Qiu was the one who killed them, he retrieved the Spatial Rings for himself.
Meanwhile, Qin Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Duan Ling Tian was alive and well.
“Elder Zheng Qiu.” At the same time, Duan Ling Tian took out the twenty-odd Spatial Rings he had collected earlier and passed them to Zheng Qiu with an invisible energy.
“These are your rewards. Keep it,” Zheng Qiu said with a faint smile on his face as he raised his hand and pushed them back to Duan Ling Tian. At this moment, the way Zheng Qiu regarded Duan Ling Tian had changed. Earlier, he had known Duan Ling Tian was strong, but he did not think it was to this extent. In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian managed to kill the twenty-odd subordinates of the Black and White Heroes. The strongest among those men was a Yellow Sun Golden Celestial Hero, even the weakest one was a Crimson Sun Golden Celestial. To be able to kill twenty-odd Golden Celestials with just a strike was not possible for an ordinary Golden Celestial. To do this, one had to have the strength of a Blue Sun Golden Celestial.
‘A Blue Sun Golden Celestial who’s less than 100 years old… I think he must be the strongest among the eighteen people selected from the nine cities in Nine County Specters! In fact, I’m afraid even the 12 Golden Celestials less than a 100 years old from the County City who were personally chosen by Lord County Governor aren’t as strong as him!’ Zheng Qiu thought to himself.
“Thank you, Elder Zheng Qiu.” Duan Ling Tian thanked Zheng Qiu when he saw Zheng Qiu returning the Spatial Rings to him.
“Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect you to be so strong. Earlier, I thought both of you would be killed by the Black and White Heroes’ subordinates. If that happened, I would have a tough time explaining myself to Lord County Governor when I return to the City Governor’s estate. I owe you a favor,” Zheng Qiu said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
“Elder Zheng Qiu, there’s no need to be so courteous.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “I was only trying to save my life…”
Zheng Qiu waved his hand dismissively. “Well, I said I owe you. That’s all to be said about this.” He shook his head and said, “People fall all over themselves to obtain a favor from me, and yet, you’re declining it so easily.”
Duan Ling Tian only smiled. He no longer said anything. After all, what was there left for him to say? Moreover, Zheng Qiu owing him a favor would only benefit him.
“With your talents and strength, you’ll definitely receive preferential treatment in the County Governor’s estate. When we arrive, I’ll speak to Lord County Governor and request that he give you the best cultivation location and resources,” Zheng Qiu said to Duan Ling Tian.
“Thank you, Elder Zheng Qiu,” Duan Ling Tian said sincerely. His eyes shone brightly when he heard Zheng Qiu’s words.
