Soon after, the Devilseal Tablet arrived in front of King Qian. The black glossy surface around the Devilseal Tablet gradually disappeared as well.
Subsequently, the Devilseal Tablet that had returned to its original state slowly descended and landed in King Qian's outstretched hand.
King Qian was excited when he obtained the Devilseal Tablet.
At this moment, apart from Duan Lingtian, everyone's attention was focused on King Qian.
To be more precise, they were focused on the Devilseal Tablet in King Qian's hand.
The moment the Devilseal Tablet appeared, it was destined to be the center of attention.
Whoosh!
Just when everyone, including Lin Dong, was looking at the Devilseal Tablet in King Qian's hand, a short-lived sword cry clearly entered the ears of all the Saint Stage powerhouses present on the scene.
Only Saint Realm experts could hear the sound of the sword whistling through the air.
Naturally, Lin Dong was one of them.
"Oh, no!"
The instant he heard the sword whistle, Lin Dong did not even have the time to react before he felt an extremely terrifying aura lock onto him. This aura was filled with endless killing intent, causing him to be frightened to the point that his expression instantly changed.
This was destined to be the last expression on Lin Dong's face.
When the group of Saint Stage powerhouses turned around, they only saw a sword ray disappearing into the horizon.
At the same time, Lin Dong was slashed into two and was killed.
On the other hand, Lin Dong's opponent, Duan Lingtian, was still in the posture of wielding his sword.
However, he had already put away the sword in his hand. It was replaced by a three-foot-long green sword that was condensed from True Energy. It was constantly emitting sword rays as it emitted a sharp aura.
"This …"
When the group of Saint Stage powerhouses who were the first to regain their senses saw Lin Dong's death, they were shocked. They did not expect this to happen.
Lin Dong, who had already broken through to the Saint Stage, was killed by Duan Lingtian with a single sword strike?
"Is it because Lin Dong's attention was on the Devilseal Tablet that Duan Lingtian had an opportunity to attack?"
For a time, many Saint Realm experts guessed in their hearts.
However, they soon overturned this speculation.
It would be difficult for a non-Saint Realm Martial Cultivator to injure a Saint Realm expert even if it was a sneak attack, even if the Saint Realm expert had just broken through.
There was a huge gap between the Saint Realm and the Saint Realm. The two were not on the same level at all.
Therefore, even if it was a sneak attack, Duan Lingtian would not be able to kill Lin Dong.
However, the truth was right before their eyes, and they had no choice but to believe it.
However, only a group of Saint Stage powerhouses had their attention on the Devilseal Tablet in King Qian's hand. The Devilseal Tablet was too attractive to them. They did not even notice Lin Dong's death.
Of course, this was also because they didn't hear that short-lived ear-piercing sword howl.
After the group of Saint Stage powerhouses recovered from their shock, they looked at Duan Lingtian in horror. However, they recalled the Devilseal Tablet and instantly shifted their attention to King Qian.
Lin Dong's death, the Demon Sealing Tombstone.
Between the two, it was obvious that the latter was more attractive to them.
"Fourth Prince, Lin Dong is dead."
At this moment, the two old men behind King Qian could not help but remind him.
"What?!"
Upon hearing the two old men's words, King Qian jolted. It was as though a bucket of cold water had been splashed on his head, causing him to regain his senses. He immediately looked at the void where Lin Dong was.
All he saw was a faint blood mist in the void. Lin Dong was nowhere to be seen.
"How could this be? Who killed him? "
King Qian was stunned. He was completely stunned.
Naturally, it did not cross his mind that Duan Lingtian was the one who killed Lin Dong. In his opinion, Duan Lingtian was only a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator. It was impossible for him to threaten Lin Dong's life.
At this moment, the others more or less noticed that something was amiss.
"Where's Lin Dong?"
"Why is Lin Dong gone?"
…
Many people were stunned. They looked left and right, but they did not see Lin Dong at all.
If they descended from the sky and looked at the ground, they would definitely see Lin Dong's body that had been smashed into two pieces.
Although the group of Saint Stage powerhouses knew what had happened, they did not take the initiative to remind them since their attention was focused on the Devilseal Tablet in King Qian's hand. Due to this reason, the others still had no idea what had happened.
However, Lin Dong's disappearance was nothing to them.
The Devilseal Tablet was the focus of their attention.
"Junior Brother, that Lin Dong …"
Bai Li Hong, on the other hand, seemed to have vaguely guessed something. However, he could not help but ask through Voice Transmission.
"Senior Brother, don't worry. Lin Dong is already dead.
He's no longer a threat, "Duan Lingtian replied through Voice Transmission.
"You used that sword?"
Bai Li Hong asked. Apart from that sword, he could not think of any other method his Junior Brother had to kill Lin Dong who had already broken through to the Saint Stage.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"You didn't expose yourself, right?"
Bai Li Hong asked again.
"No."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and explained, "At the moment I made my move, their attention was focused on the Devilseal Tablet in King Qian's hand. They didn't notice me at all. When they returned to their senses, I had already put it away."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hong sighed in relief. Then, he asked again, "Junior Brother, don't tell me you're really going to give the Devilseal Tablet to King Qian?"
"How's that possible? Senior Brother, just sit back and watch the show. "
Duan Lingtian continued to reply through Voice Transmission. There was a hint of a smile in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hong was shocked. He immediately looked at the Devilseal Tablet in King Qian's hand.
When everyone's attention returned to the Devilseal Tablet in his hand, King Qian realized he was in danger. With just a thought, he wanted to put the Devilseal Tablet into his Spatial Ring.
The moment the thought left his mind, the Devilseal Tablet in his hand disappeared.
Naturally, he thought he had already put the Devilseal Tablet into his Spatial Ring. He immediately called out to the two old men behind him, "Let's go back to King Qian's estate!"
After saying that, King Qian turned around and prepared to leave.
However, was it possible for him to leave at this moment?
"Old Fourth, as the saying goes, 'Those who see it have a share'. Don't tell me you're thinking of taking the Devilseal Tablet for yourself?"
King Rong's indifferent voice resonated in the air. Then, he led the two remaining Saint Stage powerhouses to block King Qian's path. It was as though he would not let King Qian leave if he did not share the loot with him.
He was heartbroken that a Saint Stage Devil Cultivator had died.
If the Devilseal Tablet was taken away by King Qian at this moment, it would be equivalent to him losing a Saint Stage powerhouse for nothing.
Naturally, he did not dare to believe it.
Naturally, even if he did not have any subordinates, he would not let go of a Super Saint Weapon like the Devilseal Tablet easily.
When King Qian saw King Rong blocking his path, his expression turned grave immediately. For a moment, he did not even address him as Second Brother. "King Rong, the Devilseal Tablet was given to me by Duan Lingtian. What does it have to do with you?"
"Hurmph!"
King Rong snorted coldly and ignored King Qian's words.
No matter what, he must have a share of the loot from the Devilseal Tablet today. Even if he could not keep it for himself, he would not let King Qian keep it for himself.
Naturally, he knew very well about the influence of the Devilseal Tablet.
If King Qian obtained the Devilseal Tablet, it would be no different from giving a tiger a pair of wings.
As King Qian's opponent, he naturally did not want King Qian to become even more powerful. Due to this reason, he could not let King Qian take the Devilseal Tablet away just like that.
Apart from the people from King Rong's estate, the Saint Stage powerhouses from the other forces also coveted the Devilseal Tablet. However, they felt helpless in the face of King Qian's estate and King Rong's estate. They could only watch the show from the side.
At the same time, some of the Saint Stage powerhouses who were watching the show revealed that Lin Dong was killed by Duan Lingtian.
An uproar broke out immediately.
Duan Lingtian instantly killed Lin Dong with a sneak attack with a sword?
Although a sneak attack was not something to be proud of, the fact that a non-Saint Stage Martial Cultivator could kill a Saint Stage powerhouse with a sneak attack, even if the Saint Stage powerhouse had just recently broken through to the Saint Stage, was enough to shock everyone.
Duan Lingtian instantly became the center of attention.
"Duan Lingtian actually killed Lin Dong?"
"What a twist! When Duan Lingtian displayed his speed that was faster than Lin Dong, I thought Lin Dong would be the one to die. After Lin Dong had broken through to the Saint Stage, I thought Duan Lingtian would be the one to die. I didn't expect Lin Dong would be the one to die in the end. "
"Earlier, Lin Dong must have had his attention on the Devilseal Tablet just like us. Due to this reason, he did not guard against Duan Lingtian. Otherwise, Duan Lingtian's sneak attack wouldn't have succeeded! "
"Hurmph! Although a sneak attack doesn't have a good reputation, how many Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivators can kill a Saint Stage powerhouse with a sneak attack in the Dao Martial Saint Land? At the very least, I've never heard of anyone who can do that. "
"That's right! Even if Duan Lingtian did a sneak attack, it's still something to be proud of. After all, he killed a Saint Stage powerhouse with a sneak attack when he's only at the Saint Rudiment Stage! "
…
Originally, a sneak attack was something to be despised.
However, when this happened between a non-Saint Stage powerhouse and a Saint Stage powerhouse, and the latter was killed by the former, nobody thought the former was too much.
Moreover, Duan Lingtian and Lin Dong were originally engaged in a Death Duel.
Even if Lin Dong was killed because he was distracted, it was his own fault. He could not blame anyone else.
"Master Duan actually killed Lin Dong?"
Among the people from Situ Clan, apart from Situ Hao and Situ Hou who already knew Duan Lingtian had killed Lin Dong, Situ Hang who had just found out about this was also completely stunned. He did not expect the situation to take such a drastic turn.
In fact, before this, he did not have any hope in Duan Lingtian.
"Haha … Duan Lingtian is really amazing! So what if Lin Dong had broken through to the Saint Stage? Wasn't he still killed by Duan Lingtian? "
Chen Shao Shuai laughed out loud with a smug expression on his face. It was as though he was the one who killed Lin Dong and not Duan Lingtian.
"H-How did this happen?"
