In the blink of an eye, Su Qi turned around in the air and kicked both of his legs backward for no reason. The shockwave formed by his True Energy hit the air hard.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out, and the rolling shockwave pushed him to the ground like an arrow leaving the bow, diving down.
He faced Ling Yun's sword head-on.
One went up while the other went down. The sword gleam shot up first while the saber gleam followed like a shadow. They collided violently like two scorching suns competing for brightness in the air.
Clang!
Boom!
The collision of the sword and saber was like two scorching suns stacked on top of each other before exploding.
At that moment, the scorching sun's radiance spread out. There was an explosion in the air as a strong gust of wind swept in all directions.
Many of the furnishings in the assembly hall were about to be blown away. At the critical moment, the Heavenly Leader Guardian struck again and blocked the vast, rolling gust of wind.
"Barf!"
At the same time, the crowd heard the sound of someone vomiting blood. It was Ling Yun who had fallen with his sword. He knelt on one knee with his sword on the ground.
His face was pale as he kept spitting out mouthfuls of blood. He was in a sorry state.
Whoosh!
At the same time, Su Qi landed steadily on the ground. His face was slightly flushed. It was obvious that it was caused by the rolling Qi and blood in his body.
However, he was not injured.
Whoosh!
The crowd was in an uproar when they saw that.
They were both on the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage, but Su Qi defeated Ling Yun who attacked first in just three moves.
At this moment, apart from Duan Ling Tian, the other eleven people among the Thirteen Gangsters felt their achievements were not worth mentioning at all in front of Su Qi.
"He's worthy of being the City Governor's disciple."
Many of them exclaimed secretly.
Knowing Su Qi by his reputation was not as good as meeting him in person.
'This Su Qi's ability … I'm afraid he's already at the peak of the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage! He's only one step away from breaking through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage. '
Duan Lingtian thought to himself as he looked at Su Qi.
"I've lost in three moves."
Ling Yun said as he looked at the City Governor of Mound Hill City bitterly after he consumed a Healing Medicinal Pill and recovered some of his injuries.
Now, no one thought that the City Governor of Mound Hill City had set up a test for Ling Yun … Ling Yun did not pass the test.
"I'll give you one more chance … If you can last three moves against Su Qi in a month's time without losing, I'll take you in as my disciple. Now, go back. "
The City Lord of Mound Hill City looked at Ling Yun and said.
"Thank you, City Lord!"
Ling Yun's eyes lit up when he heard that there was still one more chance. He stood up and left the meeting room quickly. He returned to the Latent Dragon Camp to cultivate.
After Ling Yun left, everyone turned to look at Su Qi.
The strength that Su Qi displayed earlier was truly shocking.
At this moment, Su Qi had also returned behind the City Governor of Mound Hill City. His expression was as cold as before.
"I heard that one of the Thirteen Grand Guardians also came from the Mortal Continent?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City asked as he glanced at the remaining twelve Thirteen Gangsters.
"City Lord!"
Duan Lingtian stood up.
"City Lord, Duan Lingtian became one of the Thirteen Grand Guardians on the first day he arrived at the Latent Dragon Camp … He even broke through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage a month ago and defeated Hou Lin who had also broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage," the Heavenly Leader Guardian said.
Hou Lin was present.
His face turned grave when he heard the Heavenly Leader Guardian's words. He clenched his fists tightly as his body trembled.
He would never forget the humiliation from a month ago!
'Duan Lingtian, I'll make you regret this … I'll definitely make you regret this!'
Hou Lin roared in his heart as he stared at Duan Lingtian's silhouette.
"Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage? Isn't he on the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage? "
The City Governor of Mound Hill City frowned when he heard the Heavenly Leader Guardian's words.
Duan Lingtian knew that his cultivation base was about to be exposed as soon as the City Governor of Mound Hill City said that. However, he did not care. He did not steal or rob, so there was no need for him to hide.
"Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City's words stunned everyone, including the Heavenly Leader Guardian. The Heavenly Leader Guardian even exclaimed softly.
Subsequently, he performed his Spiritual Secret Tactic to check Duan Lingtian's cultivation base.
After checking the result, his expression turned extremely interesting. "T-He's really only on the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage! Duan Lingtian, y-you're only on the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage? "
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. He could sense that the Heavenly Leader Guardian was checking his Spiritual Energy, so he knew that the Heavenly Leader Guardian had also checked his cultivation base.
"Impossible!"
Right at this moment, two people cried out in surprise.
They were Hou Lin who was defeated by Duan Lingtian a month ago and Zhang Ji Long who was defeated by Duan Lingtian yesterday.
They had fought Duan Lingtian before, so they knew how powerful Duan Lingtian was.
No matter what, they could not believe that Duan Lingtian's cultivation base was only on the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage.
"Hmph! Master City Governor and I have checked Duan Lingtian's cultivation base using our Spiritual Secret Tactic … His cultivation base is indeed on the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage. "
The Heavenly Leader Guardian snorted and glanced at Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long coldly. "What? Are you doubting Master City Governor and my words? Do you think Master City Governor and I are old? "
"Hou Lin wouldn't dare!"
"Zhang Ji Long wouldn't dare!"
Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long realized that they had lost their composure and immediately lowered their heads.
At this moment, all eleven of the Thirteen Gangsters, including Guo Li, looked at Duan Ling Tian in a completely different light.
A Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage cultivator defeated Hou Lin who was on the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage?
"A few days ago, Guo Li broke through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage and defeated Hou Lin who was also on the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage … Then, Guo Li was defeated by Zhang Ji Long who had broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage."
At this moment, Jin Yuan Bao who was ranked second among the Thirteen Gangsters spoke.
"And just yesterday … Zhang Ji Long was defeated by Duan Lingtian in just one blow!"
Jin Yuan Bao looked at Duan Lingtian with a complicated gaze when he reached the end of his sentence.
Yesterday, he witnessed Duan Lingtian's attack with his own eyes … At that time, he was almost certain that Duan Lingtian was at the peak of the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage just like him.
However, today, after the investigation by the two Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses, the City Governor of Mound Hill City and the Heavenly Leader Guardian, he found out that Duan Lingtian was only a Martial Cultivator at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage.
"Duan Lingtian, y-your cultivation base is really only at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage?"
Guo Li asked in disbelief.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"How about three months ago? What was your cultivation base when you defeated Zhang Ji Long for the first time? "
Guo Li asked again.
The moment Guo Li's question left her mouth, the group of people in the Thirteen Gangsters, including the Heavenly Leader Guardian, recalled that three months ago, Duan Lingtian had defeated Zhang Ji Long before he had broken through.
At that time, Duan Lingtian did not show his overwhelming strength. He only defeated Zhang Ji Long with his advantage in archery.
"Three months ago … I was at the Early Mortal Shedding Stage."
Duan Lingtian said.
Boom!
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. It shocked the crowd again.
"You mean … Whether it was when you defeated Zhang Ji Long or Li Han, you became one of the Thirteen Gangsters. At that time, you were only at the Early Mortal Shedding Stage? "
Guo Li sucked in a cold breath.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
At that moment, most of the people present looked at Duan Lingtian as though they were looking at a monster.
He was only at the Early Mortal Shedding Stage, yet he managed to become one of the Thirteen Gangsters.
He was insane!
'Hmph! Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long are really useless. They're a disgrace to us Martial Cultivators at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage … They can't even defeat a Martial Cultivator at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage. '
Zheng Jian, who was ranked fifth among the Thirteen Gangsters, glanced at Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long and mocked them in his heart.
At this moment, he was even more confident in defeating Duan Lingtian.
A Martial Cultivator at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage was nothing to him!
At this moment, he did not seem to realize it at all.
Duan Lingtian had defeated Zhang Ji Long when he was at the Early Mortal Shedding Stage … He was once recognized as the strongest person at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage in the surrounding area of Mound Hill City.
"Huh?"
Su Qi, who seemed to be bored after defeating Ling Yun, studied Duan Lingtian with great interest when he heard about Duan Lingtian's achievements.
This genius Martial Cultivator who came from the Mortal Continent like him seemed to be extraordinary.
"He defeated everyone at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage when he was at the Early Mortal Shedding Stage … After breaking through to the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage, he defeated two Martial Cultivators at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage consecutively."
The way the City Governor of Mound Hill City looked at Duan Lingtian changed completely. "You're Duan Lingtian, right?"
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Duan Lingtian, if I'm not mistaken, you're not completely human, right?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City asked.
"Not completely human?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
Upon seeing Duan Lingtian's reaction, the City Governor of Mound Hill City was even more certain that he had guessed correctly. "It seems like you're not completely human … One of your parents must be a Saint Beast, right? And a Saint Beast with a powerful body. "
Saint Beast!
As soon as the City Governor of Mound Hill City finished speaking, everyone shifted their gaze to Duan Lingtian.
"Only the offspring of a human and a Saint Beast would be able to defeat opponents with a higher level like you because of their powerful bodies."
A gleam of wisdom flashed through the eyes of the City Governor of Mound Hill City. "Duan Lingtian, am I right?"
Duan Lingtian was shocked.
He did not expect the City Governor of Mound Hill City to have such sharp eyes.
After learning that he could defeat opponents with a higher level easily, the City Governor of Mound Hill guessed that his powerful ability had something to do with his body.
The others were shocked as well.
"So Duan Lingtian is the offspring of a human and a Saint Beast?"
"No wonder he can defeat opponents with a higher level … It seems like he inherited the powerful body of a Saint Beast."
…
Many people had fear in their eyes when they looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Hmph! To put it bluntly, he's just a bastard. "
Zheng Jian snorted and said in disdain, "He can defeat opponents with a higher level only because the opponents he encountered are trash … If it were me, I could defeat him in two to three moves."
He glanced at Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long meaningfully when he reached the end of his sentence.
