Chapter 284: In the Life and Death Arena

Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay

There was a total of seven life and death arenas in the Seven Star Sword Sect.

As one of the seven great sword peaks in the Seven Star Sword Sect, there was a life and death arena on Megrez Peak.

The Megrez Peak life and death battle arena was situated on a platform halfway down the mountain and was paved with a layer of crimson red bricks that were like blood. With a glance, it caused one to feel a chill run down their spines.

Normally, the platform where the life and death arena was located would be peaceful, and very few people would come here.

But today, if was completely seething with excitement.

Today, someone would be ascending to the life and death arena to undergo a bloody battle that would only end when one party died!

"Hurry up! We’ll miss it if we’re late."

"I’ve been on the Megrez Peak for two years already, and today is still the first time that I heard of someone ascending to the life and death battle arena to undergo a life and death battle. I absolutely can’t miss it!"

"Supposedly, our Megrez Peak’s life and death arena hasn’t seen blood in many years."

…

On Megrez Peak, so long as it was a Megrez Peak disciple that heard of the news, no matter what they were doing at that moment, they practically all put down what they were doing and swarmed over.

The life and death arena was situated on a vast platform halfway down the mountain, and it was a high platform that has been painstakingly formed from many piles.

Now, the surroundings of the life and death arena were filled with Megrez Peak disciples.

The gazes of all the Megrez Peak disciples descended on the three figures that stood atop the life and death arena…

"Eh, why are there three people on the life and death arena?" Instantly, some people had faces full of wonder as they asked curiously.

In next to no time, there were people who told them of the sequence of events, and only then did they come to a sudden understanding. Their hearts were filled with shock at the same time.

Their gazes unconsciously descended onto the young man on the life and death arena that was around 20 years of age, and they felt their scalps go numb…

This young man was the outer court disciple that had just entered the Seven Star Sword Sect for a few days, Duan Ling Tian?

That Duan Ling Tian who was going to fight a battle of life and death with two fourth level Origin Core Stage martial artists in the life and death battle arena?

"Around 20 years old… Even if his natural talent in the Martial Dao is even more heaven defying, he would at most be at the second level of the Origin Core Stage!"

"Yeah, he actually dared to ascend to the life and death battle arena to battle a fourth level Origin Core Stage martial artist, moreover it’s even two fourth level Origin Core Stage martial artists… He’s virtually courting death!"

"Are young men nowadays all so rash?"

…

Similar discussions rose and fell around the life and death arena.

In the life and death arena.

Duan Ling Tian stood there, not moving like a mountain, with a calm expression.

Even though his surroundings were completely in an uproar, he still remained unmoved and calmly stared at Huo Xin and Yuan Wu who stood opposite him.

"Duan Ling Tian, today, I and Yuan Wu will join forces to send you to your death! In one move… I and Yuan Wu only need one move, and we’ll be able to kill you! Since you gave me the chance to kill you, I’ll be merciful and give you a swift death." Huo Xin looked at Duan Ling Tian and the corners of his mouth curled into an evil smile. "Don’t worry, you won’t feel pain… Because you’ll die in an instant."

Yuan Wu’s gaze had traces of cold lights as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. "Duan Ling Tian, you, ought to be extremely regretful in your heart now, right? You offended us just for the sake of an infant Goldfur Mouse, and are about to be killed by us… Unfortunately, Senior Brother Fan isn’t here, otherwise, I believe he would be interested in today’s scene as well."

The corners of Duan Ling Tian’s mouth curled at an angle, seeming to be smiling but wasn’t smiling.

Regret?

Perhaps, there were things that he would regret, but it was impossible for him to regret this.

Even if that Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple was present, he would still not be regretful in the slightest.

"Haha… Duan Ling Tian, can you hear the discussions of these Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers? Listen, listen… They’re all saying you’re overestimating yourself, and saying that you’re courting death. I really don’t know where you got the courage to actually dare to invite the both of us to battle in the life and death arena with you!" Huo Xin laughed loudly, and his gaze swept the surroundings of the life and death arena, his laughter full of arrogance and complacence.

"I heard Huo Xin say that those two girls that have appearances like flowers and could be called peerless have arrived at Seven Star Sword Sect as well… You can be as ease, once we kill you, we’ll help you properly take care of them. Hahahaha…" As Yuan Wu spoke, he started laughing as well, as if he’d already seen the scene of Duan Ling Tian being killed by him and Huo Xin.

Duan Ling Tian’s calm expressions finally changed!

Every dragon has a reverse scale, touch it and one would absolutely die!

His reverse scale was undoubtedly the two little girls…

This Yuan Wu actually was disrespectful to his women!

"Yuan Wu!" Duan Ling Tian took a step forward, the killing intent on his body rushed into the sky, and a demonic crimson red appeared in his eyes…

Duan Ling Tian was furious!

Completely furious!

Duan Ling Tian’s entire body was currently completely enveloped by killing intent, as if he’d transformed into a bloodthirsty asura that had walked out from the depths of hell.

The Seven Star Sword Sect outer court disciple attire on his body fluttered without wind and emitted whistling sounds.

"What? Angry?" Yuan Wu noticed Duan Ling Tian’s current appearance, and a smile bloomed on his face, then he said to Huo Xin who was beside him. "Huo Xin, I like the hot bodied girl among the two… You, won’t fight with me for her right?"

"Of course not. The other isn’t bad either. She’s delicate and touching, she suits my taste." Huo Xin licked his dry lips, and his eyes emitted traces of lust.

Bang!

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes practically completely became crimson red, and the hair band that bundled up his hair instantly broke apart…

His long hair spread out and fluttered without wind, matchlessly elegant.

"Huo Xin, you said earlier that the two of you can kill me in a single move?" Duan Ling Tian’s voice was filled with traces of a gloomy aura, as if it sounded out from the depths of hell, and caused the surrounding crowd of Megrez Peak disciples to feel a chill run down their spines when they heard this.

"Exactly! I and Yuan Wu together only need a move, an instant, and it would be sufficient to kill you! After you die, I and Yuan Wu will surely take good care of the two beauties by your side… You can go in peace! Hahahaha…" Huo Xin noticed that Duan Ling Tian was enraged to the limit as well, and intentionally infuriated Duan Ling Tian a step further.

His felt delighted in his heart for no reason when he saw Duan Ling Tian like this.

"Huo Xin, I’m slightly unable to wait any longer now… Those beauties are probably waiting for me now." Yuan Wu laughed slyly, and cooperated with Huo Xin to provoke Duan Ling Tian.

Needless to say, their actions did indeed work.

It caused the rage in Duan Ling Tian’s heart to rise to the limit!

His flames of rage were soaring!

"One move?" Duan Ling Tian’s crimson red eyes had a gaze that was icy cold and unfeeling, and it descended onto Huo Xin and Yuan Wu as he said with an icy cold and hoarse voice. "In one move, you two will surely die!"

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the noisy Megrez Peak disciples that were surrounding the life and death arena went silent for a moment.

His Duan Ling Tian, what did he say?

Kill Huo Xin and Yuan Wu in a single move?

They were all struck dumb by what Duan Ling Tian said.

Huo Xin and Yuan Wu who were in the life and death arena were stunned as well, and Huo Xin who recovered from his shock first sneered as he said, "Duan Ling Tian, you’re dreaming right? Kill us in a single move? It’s not that I’m looking down on you, but even if you’re given another five years, you might not be able to do it!"

"Wishful thinking!" Yuan Wu’s gaze emitted a cold light, and a trace of disdain appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"Alright, Yuan Wu, let’s begin." Huo Xin grinned, his smile full of evil, and his gaze that looked at Duan Ling Tian seemed as if he was looking at a dead man…

In his hand, a three foot long blade appeared out of thin air.

Origin Energy was raging atop the three foot long blade.

Whoosh!

Above Huo Xin, 76 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form…

At the same time, a three foot long blade appeared in Yuan Wu’s hand as well.

The number of ancient mammoth silhouettes above him were exactly similar to the number of ancient mammoth silhouettes above Huo Xin, both being 76…

Two fourth level Origin Core Stage martial artists!

Two grade seven spirit swords!

This was the strength of Huo Xin and Yuan Wu.

And currently, the Megrez Peak disciples surrounding the life and death arena that were struck dumb by what Duan Ling Tian said, had finally recovered from their shock.

When they looked at Duan Ling Tian once again, their gazes were filled with disdain.

"This Duan Ling Tian had really gone mad! Kill Huo Xin and Yuan Wu in a single move? Simply fools talk!"

"Huo Xin and Yuan Wu are both fourth level Origin Core Stage martial artists, and both have grade seven spirit swords… Even a fifth level Origin Core Stage martial artist that possessed a grade seven spirit sword wouldn’t dare say that he was able to kill Huo Xin and Yuan Wu who had joined forces within a single move."

"Perhaps, this is him boosting his courage before death."

…

The Megrez Peak disciples surrounding the life and death arena all regarded what Duan Ling Tian said earlier as beneath contempt.

As far as they were concerned, Duan Ling Tian was bound to be killed by Huo Xin and Yuan Wu!

Zhao Lin stood there outside the life and death arena, and as he saw the scene before him, the corners of his mouth curled into a trace of disdain. "This Duan Ling Tian is really arrogant! Arrogance is something that requires strength… Without strength, you can only be the meat on another’s chopping block, and be trampled on by another."

But in next to no time, the disdain on the corners of Zhao Lin’s mouth completely froze.

Heaven!

What did he see?

"No… Impossible!"

"How could this be possible?!"

"This isn’t real… It absolutely isn’t real!"

"Unbelievable!"

…

The Megrez Peak disciples that surrounded the life and death arena and were just mocking Duan Ling Tian a moment ago, were now startled as they gazed at the sky above Duan Ling Tian.

What did they see?

Whoosh!

Above Duan Ling Tian, the energy of heaven and earth roiled, and gathered to form 60 ancient mammoth silhouettes in the end…

The strength of 60 ancient mammoths!

This was the symbol of the fourth level of the Origin Core Stage!

Along with a three foot long blade appearing within Duan Ling Tian’s hand, another 12 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared above Duan Ling Tian…

A total strength of 72 ancient mammoths!

Presently, the three foot long blade that Duan Ling Tian held in his hand was the grade eight spirit sword he refined himself, and was able to amplify his strength by 20%.

He didn’t even use a grade seven spirit sword.

Because, as far as he was concerned, there was no need!

"Fourth level Origin Core Stage…." Seeing the ancient mammoth silhouettes that condensed into form above Duan Ling Tian, Huo Xin and Yuan Wu glanced at each other, and could both see the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

A fourth level Origin Core Stage martial artist around the age of 20?

For a moment, they felt their scalps go numb…

What sort of monstrous and abnormal natural talent was this!?
