"How's this possible?!"
The smile on Huang Cheng's face had long disappeared.
With a gloomy face, he could not figure out how this could have happened.
With his strength, it was only natural that Feng Fan's slightest movement would not escape his eyes.
Earlier, Feng Fan's attack was clearly going to land on Duan Lingtian.
However, at the most critical moment, Feng Fan's attack had actually shifted to Duan Lingtian's side and missed.
It was as though he had intentionally exposed himself in front of Duan Lingtian and allowed Duan Lingtian to slaughter him.
At that moment, a thought even appeared in his mind.
Feng Fan was seeking death on purpose!
However, as soon as he thought about it, he thought it was impossible.
Feng Fan was an Earth Ranking powerhouse with a bright future. How could he have taken things too hard?
Moreover, he had heard an uncertain piece of news in the past. It was said that the top five Outer Court Disciples, who were also listed on the Earth Ranking, had all been secretly taken in as personal disciples by the highest level of decision makers in the sect.
Although he, Huang Cheng, was an elder in the outer court, he could not enter the highest decision-makers in the sect.
Moreover, in the entire outer court, only the Grand Elder, Dongfang Quan, had entered the highest decision-makers in the sect. Moreover, his position was not low.
After witnessing the Thousand Mass Saint Inscription on the Saint Weapon in Feng Fan's hand, Huang Cheng was almost certain that the rumor he had heard was true. Feng Fan must have had a teacher who had a high position in the Moon Illumination Sect.
Due to this reason, no matter how he thought about it, Feng Fan would not seek death!
In that case, all the strangeness would undoubtedly fall on the person who killed Feng Fan.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Huang Cheng looked at Duan Lingtian. His eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
When he thought about how his 360,000 Merit Points were already in Duan Lingtian's pocket, he could only feel an evil fire rising from his feet to his head. "Yesterday, among the group of outer court elders, Duan Lingtian only accepted my bet. It's obvious that he's trying to scam me!
"However, Duan Lingtian, do you really think that you can take my merit points?"
Thinking of this, Huang Cheng's eyes flickered with killing intent.
After recovering from their shock, the few Outer Court Elders at the side all looked at Huang Cheng at the same time. Their gazes were mixed with a bit of pity.
"That was close. Fortunately, Duan Lingtian didn't accept my bet yesterday. "
An Outer Sect Elder said with lingering fear.
"That's right. Yesterday, I was planning to invest at least 100,000 merit points … Now, it seems that it's fortunate that I didn't. Otherwise, those 100,000 merit points would have already become Duan Lingtian's. "
The other Outer Sanctum Elder agreed.
"I think this Duan Lingtian already knew Feng Fan wasn't a match for him. That's why he accepted Feng Fan's Death Duel invitation … Since he's able to obtain such achievements at such a young age, I think he's not a simple-minded person."
Another outer court elder muttered.
"Indeed."
His words received the agreement of the few Outer Court Elders, including Dong Chong.
Since Huang Cheng had seen the strange scene earlier, it was only natural that they had seen it as well.
At the critical moment, Feng Fan's attack had strangely missed, giving Duan Lingtian the opportunity to take advantage of it. Not only did Duan Lingtian manage to survive from a hopeless situation, but he even launched a counterattack on Feng Fan.
At that time, Feng Fan's body was swept away by the two Saint Weapons that shot out swiftly. He did not have time to defend himself.
In front of Duan Ling Tian, it was as though he had become a target that was completely defenseless.
Therefore, Feng Fan's death came as a complete surprise to everyone.
"I wonder what kind of technique Duan Lingtian used … Was it a Spiritual Energy attack? Or was it some other technique? "
The group of Outer Court Elders was filled with doubts.
"This … How … How's this possible?"
Zhou Qi, the direct disciple of Inner Court Elder Liu Huan, had also regained his senses from the scene of Feng Fan being killed. After muttering to himself in a daze for a while, horror dawned on his face.
The scene before his eyes was something that he had never expected even in his wildest dreams.
Feng Fan was actually dead!
Naturally, he did not care about Feng Fan's life or death.
However, now that Feng Fan was dead, this matter was no longer as simple as it seemed.
It would have been fine if Feng Fan was just an ordinary outer court disciple. However, Feng Fan's background was terrifying. The person behind Feng Fan was ranked in the top three among the group of inner court elders in the Moon Illumination Sect. He was even more powerful than his master, Liu Huan.
In front of that inner court elder, even his master, Liu Huan, had to be respectful and did not dare to slack at all.
However, Feng Fan was dead now!
He had died because of his request.
Zhou Qi could imagine that when Feng Fan's master, the inner court elder with a high position, found out about this, he would definitely not have a good ending.
Put aside the fact that his master had shifted all his attention to Su Qi and no longer cared about him like before, even if it was before, it was impossible for his master to offend Feng Fan's master because of him.
At this moment, Zhou Qi felt as though the sky was collapsing!
"Wait a minute!"
Just when Zhou Qi was completely disheartened, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. In the next instant, he seemed to have been reborn. "It seems like only the two of us know the reason why Feng Fan issued the Death Duel invitation to Duan Ling Tian … The others don't know about it."
Now that Feng Fan is dead, I'm the only one who knows about it … Doesn't that mean I can say whatever I want? "
The moment Zhou Qi thought of this, the haze in his heart was swept away. All he felt was that the sun was shining brightly, and he was in a good mood.
However, when his eyes landed on Duan Lingtian who was healing himself after consuming the Healing Medicinal Pill in the distance, his face turned grave again. "What's the origin of this Duan Lingtian? How did he manage to kill Feng Fan under such circumstances?
Don't tell me he really knows some kind of witchcraft? "
When Zhou Qi thought of this, he shook his head. "I don't think it's a witchcraft, but some kind of Secret Spiritual Tactic … A Secret Spiritual Tactic that can confuse others and make them hallucinate so that they can change the direction of their attacks."
Whether it was the group of outer court elders, outer court deacons, or Zhou Qi, all of them had the same guess.
All of them felt that Duan Lingtian had cast a Secret Spiritual Tactic.
They did not think that even if Feng Fan had the intention to change the direction of his attacks, would he have succeeded in doing so under such circumstances?
No matter how shocked the onlookers were, Feng Fan was dead, and he was dead.
Duan Lingtian had obtained the final victory in this Death Duel and successfully survived.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian did not feel good even though he had survived. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Even if I consumed the Three-star Healing Medicinal Pill that Teacher gave me, I'm afraid I'll need at least ten days to half a month to regrow the huge chunk of flesh that was taken away."
However, the moment he thought of the nearly three million Merit Points in his Crystal Card, he felt that the price he paid was worth it.
"Three million Merit Points … Tsk tsk, I'm afraid there's nothing in the Moon Illumination Sect that I can't exchange for."
Duan Lingtian did not forget to rejoice in his heart as he broke out in cold sweat.
"Also … Feng Fan's Saint Weapon!"
According to the Moon Illumination Sect's rules, the person who was killed in the Death Duel would have everything that belonged to the winner unless he had something special in his possession.
The moment Duan Lingtian thought of this, he endured the pain as he walked to Feng Fan's body. He lifted his hand and picked up Feng Fan's Thousand Mass Sword. He could vaguely see a special pattern inscribed on it. The pattern was complicated, and it was similar to the Inscriptions on Cloud Continent.
"This must be the Two Star Saint Inscription, the Thousand Mass Saint Inscription."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"I'll have to spend at least 200,000 Merit Points to exchange for this sword … Now that I've obtained it, I can save 200,000 Merit Points."
Duan Ling Tian's emotions surged as he put away the Thousand Mass Sword. Subsequently, he extended his hand, intending to put away the Gale Hammer as well.
Although he already knew the Gale Hammer belonged to Zhou Qi, he was still pretending.
He pretended not to know.
"Hurmph! How dare you lay your hands on my, Zhou Qi's, Saint Weapon? "
Just when Duan Lingtian's hand was about to touch the Gale Hammer, the Gale Hammer disappeared. At the same time, a mocking voice resonated in the air. A person appeared not far away from Duan Lingtian.
"Zhou Qi!"
Duan Lingtian's face turned grave. However, he knew he would not be able to obtain the Gale Hammer anymore.
After half a year, this was the second time Duan Lingtian had such close contact with Zhou Qi. He felt Zhou Qi was still as arrogant and unscrupulous as he was six months ago.
However, Zhou Qi did not dare to act presumptuously in the sect.
Duan Lingtian did not know Zhou Qi could have attacked him directly when he went to take the Gale Hammer earlier. It would have been fine as long as he did not kill or maim him.
After all, he had a good reason to attack Zhou Qi to protect his Saint Weapon.
The reason he did not attack Zhou Qi was because he wanted to distance himself from the fact that Feng Fan was killed by Duan Lingtian.
He did not want others to think he wanted to kill Duan Lingtian. He did not want others to suspect that he wanted to use Feng Fan to kill Duan Lingtian.
If that was the case, Feng Fan's master would definitely not let him go.
"I really didn't expect someone who was like an ant half a year ago to come so far today."
Zhou Qi stared at Duan Lingtian coldly and sneered through True Energy Voice Transmission, "However, the people from Mound Hill City are destined to not live long in the Moon Illumination Sect … It's the same for the people in the past, it's the same for all of you, and it'll be the same for the people in the future."
"It's not up to you, Zhou Qi, to decide whether we can live long or not."
Compared to Zhou Qi's stealthy Voice Transmission, Duan Lingtian spoke out loud.
Duan Ling Tian's words had attracted many people's attention.
Zhou Qi's expression changed drastically.
He realized that if he continued to stay here, people might think he was the one who wanted to kill Duan Lingtian. Therefore, he put away the Gale Hammer and left in a hurry, not daring to stay for even a moment longer.
To Zhou Qi.
The most important thing now was to distance himself completely from today's incident!
