After taking a deep look at Zheng Jian, Duan Lingtian continued to walk down and left the Merit Pavilion.
During this process, Guo Li turned around and looked at Zheng Jian's back with pity in her eyes.
Even Jin Yuan Bao who ranked third among the Thirteen Gangsters had to address Duan Lingtian as Senior Brother. How dare Zheng Jian provoke Duan Lingtian?
She could not help but admire Zheng Jian's courage.
Of course, she did not remind Zheng Jian.
She did not have a good impression of Zheng Jian at all.
After leaving the Merit Pavilion, Duan Lingtian and Guo Li returned to the Latent Dragon Camp. However, they were not in a hurry to return to the wooden house. Instead, they stood in front of the wooden house as if they were waiting for something.
The two people's movements quickly attracted the attention of many people.
"What are Duan Lingtian and Guo Li doing?"
"I don't know."
"They must have just returned from the Merit Pavilion … They must have exchanged many things. Shouldn't they be going back to the wooden house to count the things they exchanged? "
…
The Latent Dragon Camp members in the dilapidated wooden house were confused.
It was not until 15 minutes later when a voice was heard from the entrance of the Latent Dragon Camp that they finally reacted.
"Duan Lingtian, you've got guts!"
Zheng Jian smirked when he walked into the Latent Dragon Camp. He then leaped up to the high platform and confronted Duan Lingtian.
Waves of battle intent rose from his body.
However, Duan Lingtian did not intend to respond to him. He only looked at him calmly.
Guo Li retreated to the side and looked at the two of them calmly.
"I was wondering who Duan Lingtian was waiting for. It turns out that he's waiting for Zheng Jian … When did they start fighting?"
Many people were shocked.
However, more of them were excited as they waited to watch the show.
"Duan Lingtian, I'll let you know soon … You're nothing in my eyes! Don't think that you can look down on all the people on the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage just because you defeated a few people who have just broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage. "
Seeing that Duan Lingtian was ignoring him, Zheng Jian's face darkened completely.
"I don't know about the others at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage … but I really don't think much of you, Zheng Jian."
Duan Lingtian finally opened his mouth. His tone was calm, as if he was talking about something unimportant.
Duan Lingtian's words caused an uproar.
Other than Guo Li, who knew that Duan Lingtian was telling the truth, the others thought that Duan Lingtian was being too arrogant.
"Isn't this Duan Lingtian a little too arrogant?"
"Zheng Jian's cultivation base has long broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage. His strength is far from what Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long who have just broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage can compare to. If he thinks Zheng Jian is as easy to deal with as Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long, then he's gravely mistaken!"
"I'd like to see how he'll embarrass himself later."
…
The Latent Dragon Camp members at the dilapidated wooden house discussed among themselves. More than 90% of them did not think Duan Lingtian would win.
"Zhu Lang, I know you're close to Duan Lingtian … but he's destined to be unlucky today since he's going up against my Cousin Zheng Jian. I suggest you go back to the wooden house so that you won't be unhappy to see him injured. "
Hu Jie walked to the front of Zhu Lang's dilapidated wooden house and mocked him.
"We don't know who's going to win yet."
Zhu Lang smirked.
He knew Duan Lingtian's strength very well.
Putting everything else aside, if he and Guo Li had not held Duan Lingtian back during the test set by the City Governor of Mound Hill City three days ago, he would have definitely ranked first.
Due to this reason, he had confidence in Duan Lingtian.
He believed that Zheng Jian was no match for Duan Lingtian.
"What? Don't tell me you think Duan Lingtian can defeat my Cousin Zheng Jian? "
Hu Jie smiled. It was a mocking smile.
"I don't know about the other Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage powerhouses … but I really don't take you seriously, Zheng Jian."
On the high platform, Duan Lingtian's words kept echoing in Zheng Jian's ears. His body began to tremble violently due to his extreme rage.
His eyes turned crimson red, and he was filled with rage. He was on the verge of collapsing.
Finally, his rage reached its peak and he completely broke down.
"Duan Lingtian, I'll show everyone how I, the person you don't take seriously, will throw you into the manure pit!"
Zheng Jian roared in rage. His entire body seemed to have transformed into an agile leopard as he pounced toward Duan Lingtian.
The air seemed to have been sucked out wherever he passed.
The onlookers held their breaths as they stared at the scene before them.
However, what happened in the next moment left them all dumbfounded.
Goodness!
What did they just see?!
Bang!
A loud noise came from the high platform, accompanied by a painful groan.
In the next moment, everyone saw Zheng Jian fly out like an arrow from a bow, all the way out of the high platform in just a single exchange of blows.
A moment later, Zheng Jian flew above the manure pit uncontrollably.
Seeing that he was about to fly over the manure pit and land on the dilapidated wooden house, a purple figure appeared next to Zheng Jian out of thin air.
Bang!
Another loud noise came. Apart from Guo Li, the crowd could not see what happened at all. Zheng Jian's body suddenly fell.
As the purple figure disappeared, Zheng Jian's body landed heavily in the manure pit. Yellow and white matter splashed everywhere.
All of a sudden, the Latent Dragon Camp members who were near the manure pit retreated.
"This …"
Everyone was stunned. They stared blankly at the scene before them. They did not regain their senses for a long time.
"Did Zheng Jian pass out just like Hou Lin did last time?"
After waiting for a while, many people had a strange expression on their faces when they saw Zheng Jian lying in the manure pit without making any sound.
Even more people were looking at the purple figure on the high platform in shock.
"Duan Lingtian's ability is so powerful?"
"Could it be that he has broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage and his ability is comparable to a powerhouse on the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage?"
…
The news that Duan Lingtian's cultivation base was only on the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage when he defeated Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long had spread throughout the Latent Dragon Camp. All of the Latent Dragon Camp members knew that Duan Lingtian had the ability to defeat opponents whose level was higher than his.
However, when they saw Duan Lingtian sent Zheng Jian flying with just one blow and knocked him out with his second attack …
They thought Duan Lingtian had broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage and possessed an ability that was not inferior to an ordinary powerhouse on the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage.
After all, Zheng Jian was different from Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long. His cultivation base had broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage a long time ago.
Among the people present, there were only three people who were not surprised by this outcome.
They were Guo Li, Zhu Lang, and the Heavenly Harm Guardian who was standing on top of the pavilion.
"This Duan Lingtian is really unreasonable," the Heavenly Harm Guardian shook his head.
The Heavenly Harm Guardian shook his head. "However, Zheng Jian was asking for trouble. Of all people, he had to provoke this malefic."
"Cousin Brother Zheng Jian!"
Hu Jie snapped back to his senses and cried out with a terrible expression. He then flew out and scooped Zheng Jian out of the manure pit.
"Pfft! ‘
As soon as Hu Jie placed Zheng Jian on the ground, he began to move. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of yellow and white matter that landed on Hu Jie's face.
"Blergh …"
Hu Jie was so disgusted that he immediately vomited all over Zheng Jian's face.
Zheng Jian had just regained his senses. When he realized he had fallen into the manure pit, he did not know where to vent his anger.
Now that Hu Jie had spat on his face, his expression changed drastically. He slapped his palm out of reflex and sent Hu Jie flying with a loud 'bang'.
Boom!
Hu Jie flew far away and crashed hard on the ground. Blood kept flowing out of the corner of his mouth and he stopped breathing completely.
Whoosh!
Just when everyone thought Hu Jie was innocent, a figure appeared next to him out of thin air. After checking Hu Jie's breath, his expression changed drastically.
"Lord Heavenly Harm Guardian, this is …"
Many people's hearts skipped a beat when they saw this.
"Zheng Jian, you killed Hu Jie!"
The Heavenly Harm Guardian said coldly as he looked at Zheng Jian with a grave expression.
"Hu Jie is dead?"
At this moment, Zheng Jian finally regained his senses. His expression changed drastically when he heard the Heavenly Harm Guardian's words.
The reason his expression changed was not because Hu Jie was his distant cousin.
It was because of the Latent Dragon Camp's rules.
The Latent Dragon Camp had a rule that members of the Latent Dragon Camp were not allowed to kill or cripple each other. Otherwise, they would be punished.
Those who killed would be severely punished and would be expelled from the Latent Dragon Camp and the City Governor's Estate!
Before the others could react, the Heavenly Harm Guardian grabbed Hu Jie's body and flew toward Zheng Jian. He extended his other hand and grabbed Zheng Jian like an eagle catching a chick.
"Zheng Jian killed Hu Jie who's also a member of the Latent Dragon Camp. This is a heinous crime. Send him to the Punishment Camp immediately!"
The Heavenly Harm Guardian left with Hu Jie's body and Zheng Jian.
After a while, the people in the Latent Dragon Camp finally regained their senses.
"Hu Jie … He's dead?"
"Hu Jie seems to be Zheng Jian's distant cousin … Zheng Jian is really ruthless to be able to kill him."
"I think he didn't even realize it at that time."
"Hu Jie's ability is far weaker than him … How could Hu Jie withstand his palm strike?"
…
The group of Latent Dragon Camp members discussed among themselves.
They all knew that Zheng Jian was going to be out of luck this time.
"There's a rule in the Latent Dragon Camp. Anyone who kills another member of the Latent Dragon Camp will be severely punished and expelled from the Latent Dragon Camp and the City Governor's Mansion. Do you think Zheng Jian will really be expelled from the Latent Dragon Camp and the City Governor's Mansion?"
"I think so."
"I don't think so … No matter what, Zheng Jian is one of the Thirteen Gangsters. His talent and ability are extraordinary. I don't think he'll be expelled from the Latent Dragon Camp and the City Governor's Estate just like that."
"If Zheng Jian isn't expelled, won't the Latent Dragon Camp's rules be just for show? Who's going to obey them in the future? "
…
The Latent Dragon Camp members were divided into two groups and began to argue.
At that moment, not many people paid attention to Duan Lingtian.
Even Duan Lingtian did not expect that to happen.
"You brought this upon yourself!"
Guo Li snorted.
Upon hearing Guo Li's words, the corner of Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched unconsciously.
