"Lord Centurion, why are you here?"
Duan Lingtian's expression didn't change as he asked calmly.
"What do you think?"
The Centurion's gaze went slightly cold as he replied with a question.
"Could it be that those seven Flaming Tigers were drawn over by you, Lord Centurion?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes focused.
According to common sense, it was impossible for a fierce beast at the fourth level of the Core Formation Stage or above to appear in the area he was at …
Even if it did appear, it would at most be one or two.
But earlier, seven fourth level Core Formation Flaming Tigers appeared at the same time, and coupled with the timely appearance of this Centurion, it was difficult for him to not connect the two together.
"You're very smart."
The Centurion looked at Duan Lingtian. "I originally thought that seven Flaming Tigers were enough to tear you apart … But I never imagined that you actually concealed your strength during the Genius Camp test. You're actually a fifth level Core Formation martial artist!"
Fifth level Core Formation martial artist.
It wasn't much.
But if the prefix 'not yet seventeen years old' was added on top of this, then it was terrifying.
A fifth level Core Formation martial artist below the age of seventeen, such a monster had never appeared in the past few hundred years of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's history …
"Lord Centurion, I feel that I have no enmity with you, but I wonder why you want to harm me?"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath as his eyes flashed.
Although he had a guess in his heart, he still wanted to confirm it.
"Haha … Duan Lingtian, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for showing off too much! If it wasn't for you causing Yu Hong to lose his position as Centurion, Yu Hong wouldn't have targeted you, nor would he have instructed me to kill you during the Genius Camp training. "
In the eyes of this Centurion, Duan Lingtian was already a dead man, so he didn't have any misgivings.
"Yu Hong!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes went cold. It really was him!
Yu Hong, Yu Xiang's older brother.
"I have to say, your natural talent shocked even me. Maybe if you were given another two years, even I wouldn't be a match for you … But unfortunately, today. You're going to lose your life here! "
Killing intent shot out from the Centurion's eyes.
Origin Energy suffused his hands …
Above him, 11 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form, and their imposing auras shot into the sky like rainbows.
This Centurion was an eighth level Core Formation martial artist!
"Wait!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he shouted in a low voice.
"What? Do you have any last words?"
The centurion asked calmly.
"If you let me go, I will give you one million taels of silver. How about it?"
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.
"A million taels of silver? I have to say, it's indeed very tempting … However, if I'm not wrong, the one million taels of silver you're talking about should be kept in your Spatial Ring, right? As long as I kill you, your storage ring will be mine, not to mention the one million taels of silver. "
A sinister smile appeared on the centurion's face, as if Duan Lingtian's storage ring was already his.
"Originally, I only wanted to do Yu Hong a favor and expel the seven Flaming Tigers here to let them kill you! But I never imagined that you actually concealed your strength, and even killed seven Flaming Tigers … What made me even more surprised was that you actually possessed a precious item like the Spatial Ring! "
As he finished speaking, the centurion's face was filled with killing intent.
As far as he was concerned, as long as he killed Duan Lingtian, everything that belonged to Duan Lingtian would belong to him.
"So, you've become greedy, right?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as he asked indifferently.
"So what if I am?"
The centurion sneered. "I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you. I'll kill you right now and take your Spatial Ring!"
"You're so confident that you can kill me?"
Duan Lingtian started laughing.
The centurion's heart jerked when he heard what Duan Lingtian said. After observing the surroundings for a while and not noticing anything amiss, he sneered. "Duan Lingtian, stop trying to be mysterious … Today, you're dead for sure! Unless you have the strength to surpass me. But, this is impossible! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the centurion moved.
Whoosh!
He pulled out a string of afterimages as he flashed out, directly flashing towards Duan Lingtian.
Above him, 11 ancient mammoth silhouettes dashed like the wind …
Duan Lingtian's eyes went cold as he moved to greet the centurion.
Spirit Serpent Movement Technique!
His figure flashed out, as if transforming into a nimble and agile spirit serpent.
Sword Drawing Arts!
The violet sword light was like the tongue of a venomous snake as it flashed towards the Centurion that was approaching menacingly.
In that instant.
Above Duan Lingtian, eight ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared …
"You … You actually concealed your strength?"
The centurion's figure shook as he easily dodged Duan Lingtian's sword strike and dodged to the side as he stared at Duan Lingtian in disbelief.
The strength of eight ancient mammoths …
This was the symbol of a sixth level Core Formation martial artist!
Wait!
Before long, his gaze descended onto the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword in Duan Lingtian's hand and he exclaimed in surprise. "Spirit weapon! You actually have a spirit weapon … A spirit weapon that's able to give you the strength of an ancient mammoth should be a grade eight spirit weapon, right? "
The greed in the centurion's eyes grew brighter and brighter …
He never imagined that Duan Lingtian would bring him so many surprises!
First, it was the Spatial Ring, then the grade eight spirit weapon.
If he was able to obtain a grade eight spirit weapon, then even a ninth level Core Formation martial artist wouldn't be a match for him.
This Duan Lingtian was simply a treasure trove!
"Your eyesight isn't bad."
Duan Lingtian sneered.
"Duan Lingtian, relying on a spirit weapon, your strength is comparable to a sixth level Core Formation martial artist … But in front of me, it's not enough. Die!"
The centurion's figure shook as he moved once more.
He wanted to kill Duan Lingtian and seize everything that belonged to Duan Lingtian …
Bang!
The centurion struck out like a bolt of lightning, slapping his palm towards Duan Lingtian, and the wind from his palm caused Duan Lingtian's violet clothes to flutter.
"Is that so?"
A cold light flashed within Duan Lingtian's eyes.
Instantly, his Origin Energy fused into the body of the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword and activated the Blood Crescent Inscription inscribed within …
Om!
A crimson red crescent moon accompanied Duan Lingtian's Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword as it flashed out like a bolt of lightning, and as if it had eyes, it met the centurion's palm strike head-on.
Chi!
Fresh blood spurted out as the centurion's palm was sliced into two by the crescent moon.
"Ah!"
The centurion's shrill cry had just sounded out when it came to an abrupt stop in an instant.
Because after the crescent moon sliced off his palm, it didn't lose momentum and directly pierced through his chest …
Spirit Serpent Movement Technique!
Duan Lingtian's figure moved, dodging the centurion's inertia as it flashed over.
The centurion's eyes stared wide open as he followed the momentum and flew out. His eyes flickered with a sheen of disbelief …
Perhaps, even until his death, he never imagined that …
Duan Lingtian actually had such a terrifying ability.
Bang!
The centurion's corpse fell to the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground, dazzling and resplendent.
"Hmph! I gave you one million silver out of goodwill, and you didn't want it … Do you really think I'm afraid of you? If it wasn't for the fact that I don't want to waste the Blood Crescent Inscription, I wouldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with you. "
He coldly swept his gaze over the centurion's corpse and searched his body for a while, but only found a few thousand silver.
"You're really a poor bastard!"
After cursing, Duan Lingtian put away the silver into his Spatial Ring.
A strand of alchemy fire lit up in his palm, and he threw it at the centurion's corpse …
Hua!
In an instant, the centurion's corpse was burned to ashes.
Not even ashes were left!
"The materials in my Spatial Ring are only enough to inscribe two more Blood Crescent Inscriptions … I didn't expect that a lousy centurion would waste one of my Blood Crescent Inscriptions!"
Duan Lingtian slightly frowned.
When he thought of what happened just now, he felt a wave of displeasure in his heart …
In his opinion, the materials required to inscribe one Blood Crescent Inscription Inscription were worth at least five hundred thousand silver.
Killing that centurion only gave him a few thousand silver.
Without a doubt, this was a business that would incur huge losses!
With his current situation, no matter how much money he had, it would be difficult for him to obtain the materials for the Blood Crescent Inscription …
Now, the number of Blood Crescent Inscriptions decreased with each use.
This was also the reason why he would rather give the centurion one million taels of silver than waste the Inscription of Blood Crescent.
"Forget it, I'll take one step at a time. Hmm, I'll first inscribe a new 'Blood Crescent Inscription' on the Crape Myrtle Flexible Sword before returning. "
What was done could not be undone, so Duan Lingtian did not think too much about it.
After walking for a while, Duan Lingtian found a remote place and sat down cross-legged.
He took out a pile of materials and started inscribing the Blood Crescent Inscription …
The sun was setting in the west, and evening was coming.
The resting place of Little Team Three of the Genius Barracks.
"Why isn't Duan Lingtian back yet?"
After waiting for a long time and not seeing Duan Lingtian, Xiao Yu's expression turned ugly.
"Yeah, it's already been so long. Logically speaking, even if he lured away those Flaming Tigers, he should have returned by now."
Meng Quan frowned, extremely puzzled.
"Could something have happened to him?"
Lo Cheng had a face full of worry.
"Don't jinx it!"
Xiao Yu and Meng Quan both glared at Lo Cheng.
But within their eyes, there was still an additional trace of worry …
If something really happened to Duan Lingtian, they would never be able to live in peace for the rest of their lives.
After all, Duan Lingtian did it all to save them …
Or else, with Duan Lingtian's strength, wanting to escape from the pursuit of seven Flaming Tigers wasn't a difficult matter.
Before long, the other youths of Little Team Three had returned as well.
The fifteen youths had joined forces to sweep the area for an entire day, and had hunted enough Cloud Leopards to complete their mission.
"Is everyone here?"
Fan Jian's expression was cold as ice.
"Where's Duan Lingtian?"
Fan Jian's gaze swept past the 18 people present before finally looking at Xiao Yu, Meng Quan, and Lo Cheng …
"Instructor, we went to hunt Cloud Leopards with Duan Lingtian and encountered seven Flaming Tigers on the way. He asked us to bring the Cloud Leopards back first, and then he went to lure away those Flaming Tigers."
Lo Cheng slowly said.
"Flaming Tigers?"
Fan Jian's gaze focused. "You guys are too bold, actually daring to enter deep into the Dawnshroud Mountain Range!"
"We didn't go deep, we just wandered around the area where third level Core Formation fierce beasts roamed. Who knew that seven Flaming Tigers would suddenly appear."
Xiao Yu frowned.
"Impossible!"
Fan Jian asserted. "Flaming Tigers have a strong sense of territory and wouldn't easily leave their own territory."
"Maybe someone alarmed the Flaming Tigers."
Meng Quan's expression wasn't too good as he guessed.
"Alright, since Duan Lingtian's Cloud Leopards have been brought back, then the mission can be considered to have been completed. Tonight, your food will be these Cloud Leopards … "
After Fan Jian gave the order, he sat at the side and started roasting his prey.
Xiao Yu, Meng Quan, and Lo Cheng hadn't eaten for an entire day and were already hungry, but at this moment, they didn't make any movements as they didn't have any appetite.
