The two middle-aged men felt their scalps go numb and they broke out in cold sweat from fright as they slowly turned around.
Their faces were filled with disbelief as they looked at the violet-clothed youth before them ….
When did this young man run behind them?
They actually didn't notice him in the slightest.
The two of them looked at each other and were able to see the astonishment in each other's eyes.
When the two middle-aged men turned around, Duan Lingtian was sizing them up as well, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer.
"Who sent you two?"
Duan Lingtian stared at the two of them as he spoke with a calm tone, yet it seemed to contain a sense of killing intent mixed within.
Whoosh!
Instantly, a terrifying bloody killing intent swept out from Duan Ling Tian's body, and it enveloped the two of them without the slightest restraint …
Instantly, the two of them went pale.
It was difficult for them to imagine that a youth that looked to be around the age of 18 could actually possess such a terrifying killing intent.
Instantly, a killing intent arose from their bodies as well, resisting Duan Lingtian's killing intent.
The two killing intents converged together and were barely able to block Duan Lingtian's bloody killing intent.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised when he felt the auras on the two of them, and his icy cold face eased up.
Only then did the two middle-aged men heave a sigh of relief, and their faces were filled with lingering fear.
Even in their dreams, they would never have imagined that a little fellow at the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage would actually be able to give them such a terrifying pressure.
If it wasn't for the fact that the person standing before them was indeed a youth, they would even think that this was a formidable man that had walked out from hell ….
"Go back and tell your Marquis that I appreciate his good intentions."
After Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he went around the two middle-aged men and directly left.
"You …. You know our identities?"
The two middle-aged men were slightly surprised.
"Hmph! Besides soldiers that have experienced hundreds of battles, how many people can possess such a dense killing intent from the battlefield? "
Under the gazes of the two middle-aged men, Duan Lingtian's figure gradually vanished ahead, but the words Duan Lingtian left behind caused the two of them to flush with embarrassment.
A veteran of hundreds of battles?
In front of this young man, they were too embarrassed to say that they were experienced soldiers on the battlefield.
"It seems that the general still underestimated his nephew."
The thin middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Since it's like this, let's go back … Not to mention anything else, with his ability, the number of people in the Su Clan who can do anything to him can be counted on one hand."
A bitter smile appeared on the corners of the other middle-aged man's mouth as he said slowly.
Divine Might Marquis Estate.
The Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan, was stunned when he saw his two beloved generals standing in front of him with dejected expressions. "Didn't I ask you to protect my nephew in secret? Why are you back? "
"General, don't joke around. It's more likely that your nephew will protect us."
The thin middle-aged man shook his head. He still had some lingering fear when he thought of the scene just now …
Until now, he still couldn't wrap his head around how that violet-clothed youth actually relied on a cultivation at the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage to arrive behind him without him noticing.
He could imagine that if the violet-clothed youth was replaced by an enemy that was on par with him, he would undoubtedly die!
Although the other middle-aged man didn't speak, he nodded in deep agreement.
"What do you mean by this?"
Nie Yuan frowned with a puzzled expression.
The two people before him were his trusted generals. They were invincible on the battlefield, and very few people were able to compare to them.
But now, the two of them were like frosted eggplants, listless and dispirited.
It was difficult for him to imagine what actually happened to make his two beloved generals like this.
Finally, under the narration of the two of them, Nie Yuan knew the ins and outs of the matter …
"He noticed your tracks at the first possible moment?"
"Avoiding your pursuit and sneaking behind you without you noticing?"
Nie Yuan had an expression of disbelief. Although he knew that his nephew was mysterious, he never imagined that he was mysterious to such an extent …
"Ru Feng, what kind of little monster did you actually give birth to?"
The corners of Nie Yuan's mouth twitched and a trace of a sheen of envy and jealousy flashed past his eyes.
The youth being able to cultivate to the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage at the age of 18 and even become a Grade Nine Alchemist had already surprised him.
He never imagined that besides this, the youth still had such a terrifying ability.
Ordinary people might not think that the youth's pursuit and anti-pursuit ability was anything special, but as a figure like the God of War of the Crimson Sky Kingdom and a man that walked out of the battlefield, he was able to deeply realize how terrifying this ability was.
If the youth had this ability, then it meant that sneaking into the enemy camp would be as easy as entering an uninhabited area!
Even assassinating an enemy general wouldn't be a difficult matter!
The agreement of three days arrived as scheduled.
Duan Lingtian once again arrived at the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
Within the Audience Hall, the Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan, passed a stack of documents to Duan Lingtian. "Little Tian, these are the things you wanted."
"Thank you, Uncle Nie. If there's nothing else, then I'll …. "
After Duan Lingtian took the things, he intended to slip away.
But would Nie Yuan allow him to leave?
"Wait."
Nie Yuan looked at Duan Lingtian, his eyes narrowed as he lightly smiled. "Little Tian, I think we can have a chat …."
"Chat about what?"
Duan Lingtian had a vigilant expression, because he noticed the fox-like smile on Nie Yuan's face.
"Two days ago, didn't you silently sneak behind my two beloved generals without them noticing?"
Nie Yuan looked at Duan Lingtian with a burning gaze.
"Uncle Nie, this is what you wanted to talk about?"
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding. He thought it was something else.
"I've thought about it, if this ability of yours can be widely used in the army, you'll surely be able to create an invincible team …. Sneaking into the enemy camp as easy as entering an uninhabited area, and taking the heads of enemy generals as easy as taking something out of your pocket!"
When Nie Yuan spoke of marching to war, his body unconsciously emitted an iron-blooded aura of slaughter.
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be surprised.
As expected of the God of War of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, just this aura of slaughter far surpassed the two people he met two days ago.
"Uncle Nie, you want me to teach you this' ability '?"
Duan Lingtian guessed Nie Yuan's intentions.
"Exactly."
Nie Yuan's eyes shone as he nodded. "If you're willing, Uncle Nie can agree to any request of yours."
Duan Lingtian rolled his eyes at Nie Yuan. "Uncle Nie, I cured Grandfather Nie's poison, and you seem to still owe me a great favor, right?"
Nie Yuan laughed embarrassedly and rubbed his palms together. He was truly interested in Duan Lingtian's ability.
"Uncle Nie."
Duan Lingtian looked at Nie Yuan with a serious expression. "If you want to learn that ability of mine, it's not difficult, but it's not easy either …. But it's not something that can be learned overnight."
"I naturally understand this. Just like marching to war and setting up formations, it requires accumulation over a long period of time before it can become an army that's always victorious."
Nie Yuan nodded as he didn't find this strange.
"Since it's like this …. Then Uncle Nie, send two people to me. I feel that the two people you sent to protect me last time aren't bad. Let them follow me for a period of time, and I'll surely be able to let them completely grasp my ability. "
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a wisp of an arc as he spoke slowly.
"Little fellow, your appetite is really big. Do you know that the two of them are top tiger-generals under my command!"
Nie Yuan laughed as he scolded. "But, I presume they won't refuse to follow you and learn your ability."
It was exactly as Nie Yuan had said.
When the two middle aged men that were sent by Duan Lingtian to protect Duan Lingtian in secret heard that Duan Lingtian wanted to teach them the miraculous tracking and anti-tracking ability, their eyes lit up as their breathing became hurried.
They'd witnessed Duan Lingtian's ability, and they were able to realize what sort of improvement they would obtain after grasping that ability.
"Little Tian, how long do they have to learn it for?"
Nie Yuan's eyes squinted as he looked at Duan Lingtian and asked.
"What? Uncle Nie can't bear to? Don't worry, I'll need them for a year at most … After a year, even if they're unable to attain my current level, they'll surely be able to grasp the main points. So long as they practice more, they'll be able to catch up to me sooner or later. "
Duan Lingtian smiled as he spoke, and his face was filled with confidence.
"A year? That's not long. "
Nie Yuan's brows raised as he nodded.
"But …"
Duan Lingtian looked at Nie Yuan and hesitated to speak.
"What? Do you have any other requests?"
Nie Yuan asked.
"Uncle Nie, within this year, I hope that they can completely become my people and only listen to my orders … Others, including you, have no authority to order them! I need to have complete control over them. "
Duan Lingtian spoke of his request. "If this is unable to be done, then everything from before will be nullified."
Nie Yuan's brows frowned slightly, but it quickly eased up as he shook his head. "Nevermind, I'll do as you say … I presume that you ought to have some sense of propriety when doing things."
Presently, Nie Yuan didn't know.
This decision would also become the decision he regretted the most in his entire lifetime …
Only in the following days did he realize that in the concept of this nephew of his, there was utterly no sense of propriety.
Duan Lingtian smiled. "Deal!"
"What are your names?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the two middle aged men and asked.
The middle aged man with a tall and thin figure didn't dare hesitate. "Young Master Ling Tian, I'm called Zhang Qian."
The other middle aged man with a medium figure said respectfully, "Young Master Ling Tian, I'm called Zhao Gang."
"In the future, both of you can directly call me Young Master."
Duan Lingtian spoke indifferently.
"Yes, Young Master."
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang hurriedly replied and were incomparably respectful.
Even though the cultivation of the youth before them wasn't worth mentioning in their eyes, the ability of the youth in other aspects caused them to be wholeheartedly convinced.
"Uncle Nie, then I'll take them away."
Obtaining two seventh level Nascent Soul Stage Tiger Generals for no reason, even though they'd only followed him for a year, it caused Duan Lingtian to be rather delighted.
This time, Nie Yuan didn't send Duan Lingtian off.
He was truly worried that he would regret it!
He kept having the feeling that this nephew of his wasn't someone easy to deal with.
"I hope he doesn't cause any trouble …"
