"He … He … He didn't die?"
"Who is this Li Feng? Is he even human? I can't believe he managed to survive the aftermath of the explosion. "
"From the looks of it, his face is just a little pale, and he has changed his clothes. He doesn't seem to have suffered any injuries."
"Did he use a high-grade defensive Dao Talisman earlier?"
"Impossible! There was no fluctuation of Dao Talismans or Saint Inscriptions earlier. He probably didn't use any external force. "
…
Everyone present regained their senses and whispered to each other. They looked at Duan Lingtian as though they had seen a ghost.
The Flowery Monk was also shocked. He looked at Li Feng in shock. "This Li Feng … He's fine?"
The group of sectless cultivators originally thought Duan Lingtian was dead. However, when they saw Duan Lingtian was fine, all of them smiled.
Many of them were excited as they shouted Duan Lingtian's name loudly. Of course, they were shouting Li Feng, Duan Lingtian's current alias.
Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath, and only now did he catch his breath.
"I really didn't expect Xu Can's technique to be so terrifying …"
Duan Ling Tian immediately looked at Xu Can who was in Xu Cen's arms. To be more precise, he looked at Xu Can's corpse. "If it wasn't for the fact that my body is stronger than the Six-clawed Divine Dragon from the dragon clan, I would've died!"
Duan Lingtian still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the scene earlier.
When the shockwaves of the explosion swept over, he felt like he was enveloped by a terrifying force.
Soon after, the robes on his body were destroyed. At the same time, the rolling power from all directions fell on his body like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, tormenting his body as if it had been tempered thousands of times.
Fortunately, his body was strong enough. Otherwise, he would have been crushed by the energy.
When Duan Lingtian shifted his gaze to Xu Cen, a mocking smile appeared on his face. In his opinion, Xu Can, Xu Cen's grandson, was basically shooting himself in the foot by challenging him.
Courting death!
At the same time, Duan Lingtian thanked Ren Zhong and Liu Hongguang again.
Although he would not have shown mercy to Xu Can who was at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage even without the two of them reminding him, he still owed them a favor.
"Little Brother Li Feng, I really didn't expect you to be so strong … However, how did you survive just now?"
Ren Zhong replied to Duan Lingtian via voice transmission. His tone was filled with shock.
When Liu Hongguang responded to Duan Lingtian, he was also curious about this.
When faced with their questions, Duan Ling Tian only responded to them with a mysterious smile. When the two of them saw this, they both smiled wryly but did not ask any further.
They could see Duan Lingtian was unwilling to say much. Since that was the case, they tactfully did not ask any more questions. After all, everyone had their own secrets. If they continued to ask, not only would they not be able to get an answer, but they would also leave a bad impression in front of Duan Lingtian.
They had worked hard to recruit Duan Lingtian to their respective forces. Naturally, they did not want to leave a bad impression in front of Duan Lingtian.
"He's not dead?"
At the same time, Xu Cen who was gradually recovering from the grief of his grandson's death finally heard the heated discussion in the surroundings. He was shocked by the content of the discussion.
When he turned his head around with a trembling body, he saw Duan Ling Tian who was completely unscathed.
Instantly, his eyes widened and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
'Impossible!'
When he saw Duan Lingtian was still alive, the first thought that appeared in his mind was' impossible '.
The powerful energy from the explosion was not something an Intermediate Refined Saint Stage Martial Cultivator could withstand. No matter how powerful his defensive technique was, he would not be able to block that energy.
Coupled with the fact that he was a human, it was impossible for him to block that energy.
"You used a Dao Talisman?"
Xu Cen instantly thought Duan Lingtian had used a Dao Talisman. Although he did not know where Duan Lingtian obtained such a high-grade Dao Talisman, there were not many defensive Dao Talismans that could block that energy even in the Rising Sky Mansion.
Duan Ling Tian could not be bothered with Xu Cen when he heard his angry and deep words.
"Elder Xu, Li Feng didn't use a Dao Talisman nor did he rely on any external force. If he did, it's impossible for an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse like you to not notice it," Ren Zhong said as he frowned.
Ren Zhong frowned as he looked at Xu Cen.
"That's right, Elder Xu. Li Feng really didn't rely on any external force."
Liu Hong Guang chimed in.
When Xu Cen said Duan Lingtian had used a Dao Talisman, he had assumed Duan Lingtian did not use a Dao Talisman. However, now that he thought about it, he was certain from the beginning until the end that he did not sense any fluctuations from a Dao Talisman, Saint Inscriptions, or any other external force at all.
Xu Cen took a deep breath and glanced at Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang. Then, the True Origin in his body trembled as he charged toward Duan Lingtian.
At this moment, a terrifying True Origin surged out of Xu Cen's body.
The aura of an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse spread out, causing the void to tremble. Ripples spread out and swept in all directions.
Some of the Martial and Dao Cultivators in the surroundings who had not broken through to the Saint Stage fainted.
Some of the Pristine Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators with weaker cultivation bases were forced to retreat to a faraway place.
"This …"
Xu Cen's sudden attack caught the onlookers off guard. Naturally, most of them only saw Xu Cen vanish before their eyes.
Only the high-ranking officials from the three great fifth-rate forces and some powerhouses from the three great fourth-rate forces could vaguely see Xu Cen's figure.
The aura of an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse swept out. His powerful aura instantly locked onto Duan Ling Tian.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian felt as though his entire body was bound. The Sun True Origin in his body was suppressed to the point that it circulated very slowly. It could not even float to the surface of his body for a long time.
Naturally, the reason for this was because Xu Cen, an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse, had locked onto him. Moreover, Xu Cen's attack was extremely fast. In comparison, the speed of Duan Lingtian's True Origin was naturally much slower.
At this moment, a sense of despair rose in Duan Lingtian's heart.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian only had one thought in his mind, and that was to use the Jasper Celestial Sword. However, when he took the Jasper Celestial Sword out of his Spatial Ring and held it in his hand, he discovered Xu Cen's attack was already near him in just a blink of an eye.
He did not even have time to inject his True Origin into the Jasper Celestial Sword, let alone use his full strength!
'Don't tell me that I, Duan Lingtian, am going to die here?'
Duan Lingtian's heart was filled with unwillingness. If he was given one or two breaths of time, he would be able to activate the Jasper Celestial Sword with all his might to receive Xu Cen's attack.
Even if he could not kill Xu Cen with the Jasper Celestial Sword, he would still be able to block part of the attack.
At that time, he might still be able to survive.
With the buffer time, he believed Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang would not stand idly by.
Unfortunately, he was still too late.
If he had taken out the Jasper Celestial Sword earlier and injected his True Origin into it without any reservation, he would not be in such a passive situation.
To be more precise, he did not expect Xu Cen would suddenly go crazy and directly attack him.
After all, Xu Cen was not allowed to take revenge in this place.
Life and death were not allowed in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. This was the rule.
"Hurmph!"
"Hurmph!"
Just as Duan Lingtian thought he was going to be killed, two angry snorts resonated in the air almost at the same time.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian discovered the powerful aura that had locked onto him seemed to have shattered at this moment.
As for that oppressive power, it also retreated.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian discovered two figures had appeared in front of him. They were none other than Ren Zhong, the Vice Mansion Master of Sky Hurdle Mansion, and Liu Hong Guang, the Second Elder of Raging Wave Mansion. Both of them had appeared in time and blocked Xu Cen's attack.
Moreover, when both of them made their moves at the same time, Xu Cen was at a disadvantage.
Barf!
Xu Cen who was sent flying came to a halt after he was sent flying for a long distance. At the same time, he threw up a mouthful of black and red blood. His face was extremely pale at this moment.
"Elder Xu, you've crossed the line!"
Ren Zhong's voice was filled with rage. Xu Cen had attacked Duan Lingtian in front of him. Not only did he violate the rules of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, but he was also slapping him in the face.
After all, his existence was to ensure the integrity of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle.
If he could not even interfere in this matter, he was not qualified to be the host of the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. If he allowed this to happen, he might as well set a rule that sectless cultivators were not allowed to participate in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. Otherwise, even if a sectless cultivator made a name for himself, he would still be suppressed by the people from the major forces.
Although Liu Hong Guang did not say anything, one could tell he was furious from the way he looked at Xu Cen.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian who was standing behind Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang finally caught his breath. When he realized the danger had been averted, he immediately put away the Jasper Celestial Sword.
He could clearly feel that his hand that was holding the Jasper Celestial Sword was drenched in cold sweat.
At that moment, he felt as though he had already taken half a step into the gates of hell. He could not help but break out in cold sweat.
"Thank you for saving my life, both of you."
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and thanked Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang respectfully as he looked at their backs.
"I'll give you justice for this matter!"
Ren Zhong nodded. Although he did not turn around, his eyes were cold as he looked at Xu Cen.
When Liu Hong Guang heard Ren Zhong's words, he regretted it. Why did he not say that earlier? If he had said that, Duan Lingtian would have a good impression of him.
Liu Hong Guang immediately said, "Little Brother Li Feng, I, Liu Hong Guang, promise you that I'll give you justice for this matter."
When Xu Cen who was injured in the distance heard Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang's words, his originally pale face turned even paler.
