Naturally, Duan Lingtian did not know about Bai Li Hong's thoughts.
Even if he knew, he would not think much of it. After all, his Senior Brother Bai Li Hong was only worried about him. He would only be touched and would not laugh at Bai Li Hong.
"There's one more person. Should he come out now?"
While Tan Chi and the two Dark Nether Sect's elders were staring at Duan Lingtian warily, Duan Lingtian turned to look outside the courtyard and said nonchalantly.
Everyone, including Tan Chi and Bai Li Hong, turned to look in that direction in unison.
Even they did not notice that there was someone there.
"As expected of the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan. He really lives up to his name!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in green robes walked into the courtyard.
The middle-aged man had a jade-like complexion, and there was a cinnabar mole between his brows. When he walked in, his expression was calm, and his gaze was fixed on Duan Ling Tian as he sized him up with interest.
"Zhou Shu!"
Tan Chi's eyes lit up when he saw the green-clad middle-aged man. This was because the green-clad middle-aged man was the person in charge of the Dark Nether Sect's stronghold in the capital of Windfall Nation. He was also the Vice Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect. In terms of strength, he was much stronger than Tan Chi.
Moreover, Zhou Shu was also a powerhouse in the Heaven Ranking.
However, Zhou Shu's ranking in the Heaven Ranking was not as good as Duan Lingtian. He was only ranked 30th.
Naturally, this did not mean that Zhou Shu was inferior to Duan Lingtian. This was because Zhou Shu's ranking was from ten years ago. In the past ten years, nobody could shake his ranking.
In the past ten years, the people in Windfall Nation were puzzled by Zhou Shu's refusal to challenge the powerhouses who were ranked at the top of the Heaven Ranking. In their opinion, the ranking in the Heaven Ranking had changed drastically in the past ten years. Many people who were ranked lower than Zhou Shu had entered the top ten of the Heaven Ranking.
However, Zhou Shu did not make a move at all. It was as though he was content with being ranked 31st in the Heaven Ranking.
Only a few people in the Dark Nether Sect knew that the reason Zhou Shu acted this way was not because he was satisfied with his current ranking on the Heaven Ranking. Instead, he was preparing to enter the top three of the Heaven Ranking in the future.
To Zhou Shu, this was undoubtedly a great honor.
This was an opportunity for the Dark Nether Sect to make a name for themselves.
At that time, people would say that the Vice Sect Leader of the Dark Nether Sect had directly entered the top three of the Heaven Ranking.
With such an influence, it was only natural that more and more people would join the Dark Nether Sect.
As a Vice Sect Leader of the Dark Nether Sect, Tan Chi, naturally, knew about this matter.
Not only that, but he also knew Zhou Shu's current strength was definitely stronger than Lady Feng from Windfall Nation.
Apart from that, he also felt Zhou Shu's current strength was not inferior to the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Duan Lingtian, who had defeated Lady Feng.
Due to this reason, when he saw Zhou Shu, he felt as though he had seen his savior.
After Zhou Shu appeared, Duan Lingtian ignored him. Instead, he looked at Bai Li Hong and said with a smile, "Senior Brother, bring me to the Dark Nether Sect. We'll bring Uncle Feng and the others to the capital."
Based on his words, he completely ignored Zhou Shu, Tan Chi, and the others.
Tan Chi's expression turned grave immediately. This was his first time being ignored by a non-Saint Stage powerhouse.
Although the other party was a powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking and was stronger than him, he still could not take it. He sneered and said, "Even if you're the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, do you think you'll be able to get them from the Dark Nether Sect? How naive! "
If it was another seventh-rate force whose strength was on par with the Situ Clan, perhaps, the Dark Nether Sect would be wary.
However, they were not afraid of the Situ Clan at all.
This was because the Dark Nether Sect had a close relationship with the Situ Clan to a certain extent.
In his opinion, even if the Situ Clan knew Duan Lingtian's friend was imprisoned by the Dark Nether Sect, they would not meddle in their business.
At this moment, even Zhou Shu's expression was grave.
As someone who was second only to the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder in the Dark Nether Sect, naturally, he had his own pride. Anger rose in his heart when he was ignored by Duan Lingtian. Killing intent could be seen in his eyes as the True Energy in his body surged. The Devil Qi in his True Energy rose as well, causing the atmosphere to become slightly oppressive.
"Who said I'm going to the Dark Nether Sect to get my friend back?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Tan Chi disdainfully. "You're just a bunch of good-for-nothings from the Dark Nether Sect. Isn't it easy for me to get my friend back?"
A bunch of good-for-nothings from the Dark Nether Sect!
Duan Lingtian's words were like poking a hornet's nest. Not only did Tan Chi's expression turn grave, but even Zhou Shu and the other two Dark Nether Sect's elders' expressions changed as well. They looked at Duan Lingtian coldly.
"You're seeking death!"
Tan Chi growled. However, he was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he glanced at Zhou Shu.
Although he was angry, he had lost his rationality.
For someone like Duan Lingtian, it would be fine if he used underhanded means. However, if he were to face him head-on, he would be the unlucky one.
"How arrogant! Do you really think you're invincible just because you've defeated Drift Blaze Sect's Lady Feng and replaced her on the Heaven Ranking? "
Zhou Shu took a step forward as Devil Qi surged out of his body. His gaze was as cold as a blade as he glared at Duan Lingtian.
"I don't dare to say I'm invincible, but I don't care about a bunch of good-for-nothings from the Dark Nether Sect."
Duan Lingtian's expression remained calm as he said nonchalantly.
"You're seeking death!"
Finally, Zhou Shu could no longer hold it in. His True Energy and Devil Qi surged out of his body.
At the same time, within a radius of a hundred meters, waves of cold aura rose up, as if something was brewing … It was Zhou Shu's True Energy Condensed Domain technique, condensing his domain.
As the Domain gradually coalesced, a giant beast shrouded in blood-red Stellar Energy appeared in the air above Zhou Shu's head, accompanied by a giant axe.
The gigantic beast instantly pounced toward Duan Lingtian. It opened its bloody mouth menacingly as though it wanted to swallow Duan Lingtian whole.
The gigantic axe soared through the air as though it could tear apart the Territory. It wanted to cut Duan Lingtian in half.
Duan Lingtian remained calm in the face of Zhou Shu's preemptive strike. There was no hint of panic on his face at all.
"Break!"
Without warning, Duan Lingtian spat out a word.
In just an instant, it was as though the air had been torn apart. Waves of sharp sword Qi swept out in a 100-meter radius around Duan Lingtian. Wherever the sword Qi passed, the chilling and oppressive aura would be dispelled and suppressed. It was as though it had never appeared before.
In just a blink of an eye, 10,000 sword rays appeared in a 100-meter radius around Duan Lingtian.
It was his 10,000 Swords Territory!
Not only was the 10,000 Swords Territory powerful, but the speed at which it was formed was also much faster than an ordinary Territory.
Before Zhou Shu's Territory was completely formed, the 10,000 Swords Territory had already formed and crushed Zhou Shu's unformed Territory. The entire process was as easy as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. It was as though it did not encounter any resistance at all.
"Impossible!"
Upon seeing this, Zhou Shu's eyes widened. Shock and disbelief were written all over his face.
Although he had heard about how domineering Duan Lingtian's Territory was, he thought it was just like Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect's Territory. It did not cross his mind that even his Territory was powerless in front of Duan Lingtian's Territory. It was easily crushed.
For a time, he found it hard to accept this reality.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
While Zhou Shu was still in a daze, with just a thought from Duan Lingtian, thousands of sword rays shot out from the 10,000 Swords Territory. In just a blink of an eye, they destroyed the gigantic axe and gigantic beast that Zhou Shu had formed with his True Energy Consolidated Weapon and True Energy Consolidated Beast. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water. It was as though a father was beating his son.
"This …"
When Tan Chi, Bai Li Hong, and the other two Dark Nether Sect's elders saw this, they finally regained their senses. Their eyes widened in disbelief.
Although they knew Duan Lingtian was powerful, they did not expect him to be this powerful.
Tan Chi, in particular, was aware of Zhou Shu's strength. However, even Zhou Shu could not withstand a single blow from Duan Lingtian. It was hard for him to accept this.
Before the four of them could react, the 10,000 sword rays in the 10,000 Swords Territory gathered under Duan Lingtian's feet in just a blink of an eye, forming a flying sword that looked like a real sword. It emitted waves of sharp Sword Intent that caused ripples to appear in the air as though it would shatter at any moment.
When Zhou Shu sensed the terrifying Sword Intent emitting from the flying sword under Duan Lingtian's feet, his heart jolted.
Although Duan Ling Tian did not seem to be using any Saint Grade Martial Tactic, the terrifying Sword Intent that was emitting from the flying sword under Duan Ling Tian's feet gave him a feeling that it was even more terrifying than any Human Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic's attack that had been cultivated to its peak. It made him lose all will to fight back.
'Run!
Run! '
At this moment, Zhou Shu only had one thought left in his mind, and he immediately put it into action.
With his life at stake, he did not have time to think about anything else. The only thought he had was to save his own life.
"Vice Sect Leader Zhou, are you trying to escape?"
The two Dark Nether Sect's elders were dumbfounded when they saw this.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a short-lived sword cry entered Bai Li Hong, Tan Chi, and the two Dark Nether Sect's elders' ears before it disappeared in just a blink of an eye. It was as though it had never been heard at all.
Among the four of them, only Tan Chi managed to catch a glimpse of the sword ray that had flashed by.
All he saw was Duan Lingtian stepping on the flying sword as he charged out. In just a blink of an eye, before Zhou Shu could even get far, the flying sword under his feet had already sliced through Zhou Shu's neck as though he was cutting a piece of vegetable.
Throughout the entire process, not a single drop of blood was spilled during this short period of time.
It was only when the flying sword had traveled a certain distance that blood splattered everywhere.
Zhou Shu was dead!
