Although Tai Wu was considered a high-ranking official in the Mountainshade Black Market's branch in the Nine Sect Alliances' district, his identity in the Mountainshade Black Market's upper branch was still an assassin.
All assassins in the Mountainshade Black Market would have to swear on the lightning penalty oath that they would never reveal their identities outside.
Otherwise, they would be killed by the lightning penalty!
"I don't think there's any enmity between us. Why do you want to kill me?"
Upon hearing Tai Wu's words, Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"There's no enmity between us … Unfortunately, a man's wealth is his own ruin! I've taken a fancy to the sword in your hand. "
Tai Wu smiled sinisterly. At the same time, a hint of greed could be seen in his eyes.
"Sword?"
Upon hearing Tai Wu's words, Duan Lingtian was stunned at first. However, he quickly regained his senses and realized the sword Tai Wu was talking about was his Jasper Celestial Sword.
"Don't play dumb! You haven't even entered the Saint Stage yet. Didn't you rely on that sword to kill Qian Kong from the Moon Illumination Sect? Although Qian Kong is trash, he's still a Saint Stage powerhouse no matter what. If you don't have that sword, it's impossible for you to kill him with just one strike. "
Tai Wu smirked.
"You're talking about this, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked nonchalantly as the Jasper Celestial Sword appeared in his hand with a raise of his hand.
When Tai Wu saw the Jasper Celestial Sword in Duan Lingtian's hand, his eyes lit up immediately.
"If you're interested in this sword, I don't mind giving it to you. However, the prerequisite is that you'll have to use it first. "
With a flip of his hand, Duan Lingtian grabbed the body of the Jasper Celestial Sword and handed the hilt to Tai Wu as though he was really going to give the sword to him.
"Boy, what are you trying to do?"
When Tai Wu saw how cooperative Duan Lingtian was, he became a little fearful. He did not reach out to take the sword. Instead, he asked with a grave expression.
"What can I do?"
Duan Lingtian laughed at himself. "If I can still do something, why would I be here talking nonsense with you? You're a Saint Stage powerhouse. Don't tell me you're so cowardly that you don't dare to take the sword that I'm giving to you? "
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, he emphasized the word 'give'.
Tai Wu only realized that Duan Lingtian did not have the strength to wield the sword in his hand Duan Lingtian's hand.
Otherwise, just as Duan Ling Tian had said, he would utterly not waste his breath on him and would have swung his sword over since long ago.
The scene of Duan Ling Tian killing Qian Kong with his sword was still vivid in his mind.
That sword strike appeared ordinary and ordinary, but it actually contained an extremely powerful and frightening strength.
Wu's Wu Wu's Sword Celestial Celestial Celestial Celestial?
Wu's Wu Celestial Duan Celestial Celestial al al al Dun..
He Tai Tian's Tian Wu Tian Tian Wu S Dun
He Duan Duan 'Duan Sword Duan Duan Dun' Wu Duan Duan Duan Dun's sword '' '' '''s Celestial al Wu's Duan Wu's.
However, his expression quickly changed.
This was because he realized the Jasper Celestial Sword that was as light as a feather in Duan Lingtian's hand was terrifyingly heavy in his hand.
Even if he exerted all his strength, he could not pick it up.
"Lad, what's going on? You're a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator, so why can't I pick it up? "
Tai Wu asked in a deep voice as he withdrew his hand after a long while.
In his opinion, there must be a secret in Duan Lingtian's sword.
If he wanted to pick up the sword, he would have to master the secret first.
"I'm giving the sword to you. You can't blame me if you can't pick it up."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and sighed.
At the same time, Tai Wu did not notice the fear in Duan Lingtian's eyes had disappeared and was replaced with indifference.
It was as though his mentality had undergone a great change in an instant.
"Lad, you must be up to something!"
Tai Wu's face turned pale as he shouted, "I advise you to tell me the secret of this sword if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, even if I can't obtain it, I'll kill you!"
When Tai Wu reached the end of his sentence, his eyes flashed with killing intent as though he was about to devour someone.
"What kind of trick can I play?"
Duan Lingtian continued to shake his head. He did not panic as Tai Wu had expected. Instead, he looked indifferent as though he did not care about Tai Wu's threat at all.
"Lad, are you doubting my words? Do you think I won't kill you? "
Tai Wu asked coldly as his expression darkened.
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly and did not reply.
"Lad, since I can destroy you, I can naturally kill you as well. I advise you to cooperate with me honestly. Perhaps, I'll spare your life if I'm in a good mood."
Tai Wu sneered.
"You'll destroy me?"
Upon hearing Tai Wu's words, Duan Lingtian was stunned. He did not know what he meant.
"I'm sure you don't know what happened in the Moon Illumination Sect before you returned to the sect, right?"
Tai Wu smiled sinisterly. "Although I don't know why Qian Kong attacked you, there's no place for you in the Moon Illumination Sect even if you didn't kill Qian Kong today! Killing an inner court elder of the Moon Illumination Sect is a crime punishable by death in the Moon Illumination Sect. "
"Killing an inner court elder of the Moon Illumination Sect? You mean Liu Huan? "
Duan Lingtian frowned. He was even more puzzled by Tai Wu's words.
"I don't know who Liu Huan is, but since the Moon Illumination Sect's elder you killed had a cultivation base at the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, it's only natural that he was an inner court elder of the Moon Illumination Sect."
Tai Wu snorted. "Perhaps you don't know this, but before you returned to the Moon Illumination Sect, I recorded the scene of you killing the inner court elder of the Moon Illumination Sect into the Mirror Image Talisman … Then, I projected the image stored in the Mirror Image Talisman into the sky above the Moon Illumination Sect's estate before you did."
However, Tai Wu was unaware of this.
If Duan Lingtian did not kill Liu Huan, nothing would have happened to Duan Lingtian even if the matter of him killing Liu Huan was exposed.
Liu Huan's death was mostly his own doing.
Although Liu Huan was dead, nobody in the Moon Illumination Sect sympathized with him. Everyone thought he had dug his own grave and deserved to die.
After Jiang Wei and the others from the Moon Illumination Sect saw Duan Lingtian's strength, they regarded him as a treasure. If it was not for the incident that happened later, they would have trained Duan Lingtian as the next successor to the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect even if it was not for Duan Lingtian.
"So that's how it is!"
Upon hearing Tai Wu's words, Duan Lingtian finally had an answer to some of the questions in his heart.
'No wonder Qian Kong wants to kill me. As it turns out, he's already found out about my true strength. Since he knows about my true strength, it's only natural that he knows Zhao Feng's death has something to do with me!'
Duan Lingtian was enlightened.
"Boy, I'll give you 15 minutes. If you don't tell me the secret of this sword after 15 minutes, I'll definitely kill you!"
As soon as Tai Wu finished speaking, he even swore on the lightning penalty oath as though he wanted to be more persuasive.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
As the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation responded to the Tribulation Oath, Tai Wu faced Duan Lingtian in a victorious manner. It was as though he was not worried Duan Lingtian would reveal the secret of the sword in his hand.
"Hahahaha …"
Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, laughed when he saw Tai Wu swearing on the lightning penalty oath. He laughed in a carefree manner.
"What are you laughing at?"
Tai Wu flew into a rage out of humiliation.
"I'm laughing at your ignorance!"
After Duan Lingtian's smile faded a little, he said nonchalantly, "However, since you like swearing on the lightning penalty oath, I'll play with you as well …"
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he also swore on the lightning penalty oath.
"… If I have a way to make this person use the sword in my hand, I'm willing to be killed by the lightning penalty!"
This was the lightning penalty oath Duan Lingtian swore on.
After he swore on the lightning penalty oath, Duan Lingtian did not suffer from the lightning penalty at all.
This meant that Duan Lingtian was not lying.
"You have no way to make me use it? Impossible! Impossible! Then, how can you use it? You're just an ant at the Saint Rudiment Stage. How can you use a sword that even a Saint Stage powerhouse like me can't pick up?! "
When Tai Wu realized Duan Lingtian was not lying, horror dawned on him immediately.
Initially, his imagination was perfect.
As long as he obtained the sword in Duan Lingtian's hand, he would be able to leave the Nine Sect Alliances' district and return to the Mountainshade Black Market's upper level branch.
Not only did he want to return, but he also wanted to kill all those who had gone against him in the past!
However, reality told him that he could not use the sword that he had always dreamed of.
"Nothing is impossible in this vast world."
Duan Lingtian said nonchalantly.
"Since I can't use it, don't even think about using it … Die! Die! "
Tai Wu's eyes suddenly narrowed as he stared at Duan Lingtian.
After he shouted coldly, the True Energy in his body surged as he was about to kill Duan Lingtian.
"Unfortunately, you won't have the chance anymore."
Just when Tai Wu was about to lose his mind, Duan Lingtian spoke nonchalantly again. At the same time, he casually tossed out an item.
A stone tablet with a missing corner appeared out of thin air. After Duan Lingtian tossed it out, it seemed to have transformed into a cannonball as it charged toward Tai Wu as though it was on steroids.
Boom!
Before Tai Wu could make his move, the stone tablet hit his body.
In the next moment, although Tai Wu did not seem to be injured, he fell down. His eyes were dull as though he had lost his soul.
As for him, he had indeed lost his soul.
To be more precise, his soul had been suppressed.
Naturally, the thing that suppressed his soul was the Devilseal Tablet that Duan Lingtian had just taken out.
When Tai Wu was trying to take the Jasper Celestial Sword away from Duan Lingtian, Duan Lingtian had already discovered that Tai Wu was a Devil Cultivator.
After finding out that Tai Wu was a Devil Cultivator, he was no longer worried.
With his current Saint Rudiment Stage cultivation base, it was impossible for a Devil Cultivator at the First Stage of the Saint Stage to escape from the Devilseal Tablet in his hand.
The Saint Stage was divided into many stages.
Previously, Duan Lingtian had heard from his Senior Brother, Bai Li Hong, that the strongest powerhouse in the Nine Sect Alliances' district was only at the peak of the First Stage of the Saint Stage.
In the entire Nine Sect Alliances' district, there were only two such powerhouses.
