"H-How's this possible?!"
The scene before him continuously assaulted Zhao Ji's eyes, causing his emotions to surge. He was unable to calm down for a long time.
Initially, he thought Ling Tian would die in Zhao Kun's hands today since Zhao Kun had already broken through to the Eminent Saint Stage a few days ago. It was impossible for Ling Tian to break through to the Eminent Saint Stage.
However, reality gave him a slap in the face.
It was impossible for Ling Tian to break through to the Eminent Saint Stage?
Put everything else aside, just the strength Ling Tian displayed earlier was 100% at the Eminent Saint Stage. Moreover, it was not as simple as just breaking through to the Eminent Saint Stage.
Did he not see how Zhao Kun did not even have the strength to fight back and was toyed with by him?
"This Ling Tian must be eliminated!"
Zhao Deng's eyes gleamed coldly. If it was not for the fact that this was the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate, he would have made his move and killed Ling Tian.
The enmity between their Zhao Clan and Ling Tian had long been established. They would not rest until one of them was dead!
Naturally, he did not want Ling Tian to grow stronger.
Once a young man with such monstrous innate talent grew up, let alone him, even his father would be trampled by this young man one day.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian …"
Gu Li stared at Duan Lingtian in shock.
As a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage, it was only natural he could see Duan Lingtian's speed earlier. Although it was not as fast as a Mastery Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, it was much faster than most Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivators. "When did he break through to the Eminent Saint Stage? I've never heard him mention it before! "
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, you're really good at hiding things from me."
Gu Li did not know when, but a hint of bitterness could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"He really has broken through to the Eminent Saint Stage! Humph! To think he lied to me and said he didn't break through! "
Wang Fei Xuan let out a sigh of relief and snorted.
Hong Gang and the other two direct disciples of Zhu Lüqi who were standing next to him were dumbstruck. "Ling Tian … has actually broken through to the Eminent Saint Stage?"
"No wonder he dared to accept Zhao Kun's deathmatch invitation. It turns out that he's not afraid of Zhao Kun at all!"
…
"I'm afraid his strength isn't as simple as having just broken through to the Eminent Saint Stage. In front of him, Zhao Kun doesn't even have the strength to fight back!"
Hong Gang sucked in a breath of cold air and slowly said.
The person in charge of the Hall of Life and Death, the Heaven Palace's Elder Cheng Yun, was also looking at Duan Lingtian in shock. "It's hard to imagine that he's not even forty years old … With his current strength, he can be said to be the strongest person among the younger generation in the Dobusei Subterranean!"
At the same time, the other Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples also regained their senses. They looked at Duan Lingtian as though they had seen a ghost.
Not long ago, all of them thought Duan Lingtian would definitely die.
However, the truth was right before their eyes. All of them could not help but feel embarrassed. They felt their previous thoughts were extremely foolish.
Under such an atmosphere, the scene fell silent for a while.
"Mercy?"
When the scene fell silent, Duan Lingtian's voice resonated clearly in the air. He was speaking to Zhao Kun whose neck he was choking. "Earlier, when you insulted me, did you ever think of begging me for mercy? When you insulted my parents, did you ever think of begging me for mercy? "
Duan Lingtian's voice gradually turned cold.
"If I'm not as strong as you, would you have let me go in today's deathmatch?"
Duan Lingtian asked three questions in a row, causing Zhao Kun to be rendered speechless.
"Hurmph!"
At this moment, a cold snort resonated in the air. Zhao Deng had soared up into the air and was flying away. It was obvious he was preparing to leave.
"Lord Vice Mansion Master … Save me!"
Zhao Kun became anxious when he saw Zhao Deng was about to leave. He struggled with all his might to beg for help.
When everyone's eyes landed on Zhao Deng, he came to a halt and turned around to look at Zhao Kun indifferently. "Zhao Kun, you're the one who initiated the deathmatch. You're also the one who signed the Death Pact first. Let alone me, even if my father is here, he won't be able to save you.
If we save you, what's the point of the Mystical Sky Mansion's Hall of Death? What's the point of the Death Pact? "
Zhao Deng's words were filled with righteousness. Many of the Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples nodded in agreement. They felt Zhao Deng, the Vice Mansion Master, was sensible and did not break the rules of the Hall of Death just because Zhao Kun was from the Zhao Clan.
When Zhao Deng noticed the change in the gazes of the Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples, he knew he had achieved his goal.
"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being weak!"
These were the last words Zhao Deng left for Zhao Kun before he left.
After Zhao Deng left, Zhao Kun's eyes were filled with despair. His head twitched violently a few times as his aura weakened.
When Duan Lingtian saw Zhao Kun was like an arrow at the end of its flight, he waved his hand and sent Zhao Kun flying.
In the next instant, hundreds of sword rays shot out of his body and pierced through Zhao Kun's body, turning Zhao Kun's body into a beehive.
Duan Lingtian was never merciful to his enemies.
Moreover, this was an enemy who had insulted his parents.
When Duan Lingtian, Gu Li, and Wang Fei Xuan left side by side, the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples outside the Hall of Death finally regained their senses.
"Too strong!"
"I can't believe our Mystical Sky Mansion has such a monster. Has there ever been an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse below the age of forty in the history of the Dobusei Subterranean?"
"I don't think so."
"Ling Tian's cultivation base must have broken through to the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage. Otherwise, it's impossible for him to defeat Zhao Kun so easily!"
"That's right. Zhao Kun is an Early Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, but he was completely powerless in front of him. I don't believe he has just broken through to the Eminent Saint Stage! "
"However, how did Ling Tian cultivate? How did he raise his cultivation base to such a level in such a short period of time? "
…
Among the group of Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples, there were some famous powerhouses on the Mystical Sky Ranking. They were at the Eminent Saint Stage so they had their own understanding of the strength Duan Lingtian had displayed.
"Although I've broken through to the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage recently, even if I unleash my full strength, my speed is still far from Ling Tian's. Although Ling Tian's strength is not at the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage, he can still be considered as one of the best among Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage powerhouses."
An Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage Mystical Sky Mansion's disciple said.
He was a renowned existence on the Mystical Sky Ranking, so his words were very persuasive.
Gradually, everyone was able to confirm one thing.
Duan Lingtian's strength was comparable to one of the best among Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage powerhouses.
"Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage?"
In the crowd, Zhao Ji had yet to leave. When he heard the exclamations around him, his expression turned even graver. "I can't believe his cultivation speed is so fast. If it's not for the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, I'm afraid I'll only be able to eat his dust for the rest of my life."
"No! Perhaps, I won't even have the chance to eat his dust at all! "
The moment Zhao Ji thought of this, he hastily left.
However, he did not return to his residence. Instead, he sneaked out of the Mystical Sky Mansion's estate to look for Zhu Lüqi and Xu Jing.
"I must cultivate the Devouring Dark Devil Technique as soon as possible. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for me to catch up to Ling Tian, let alone seek revenge from him!"
Along the way, Zhao Ji was extremely anxious.
Currently, he desperately wanted to obtain the Devouring Dark Devil Technique. In his opinion, as long as he cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique in time, it would not be difficult for him to surpass Duan Lingtian in the future.
After Zhao Ji left, the news of Duan Lingtian and Zhao Kun signing a Death Pact and killing Zhao Kun with ease swept through the entire Mystical Sky Mansion's estate like a hurricane.
Everyone, including Mansion Master Meng Qing, was shocked!
"Ling Tian is at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage? How's this possible? "
Naturally, many people did not dare to believe this news. Was it possible for an Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse below the age of forty to appear in the Mystical Sky Mansion?
However, as more and more people spread this news, and many people who were present on the scene proved it, they had no choice but to believe it no matter how unwilling they were.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, you've kept this a secret from me for a long time!"
Gu Li looked at Duan Lingtian as though he was questioning him. "Previously, I told you to try your best to break through to the Eminent Saint Stage when I break through to the Divine Saint Stage and go to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land with me. Why didn't you tell me that you've already broken through to the Eminent Saint Stage?"
"Senior Brother Gu Li, my situation is a little special."
Duan Lingtian, naturally, could see that Gu Li was not really angry. However, he really did not know how to explain this.
In the end, he decided to tell the truth.
Naturally, this was only a part of the truth.
"I once had a fortuitous encounter. That fortuitous encounter caused a tremendous change in my True Origin. When my cultivation base was at the Early Pristine Saint Stage, the strength of my True Origin was comparable to the True Origin of an ordinary Intermediate Refined Saint Stage powerhouse! For this reason, my current cultivation base is still quite far away from the Eminent Saint Stage. "
Duan Lingtian said. Although this was indeed his situation, he did not go into detail about the fortuitous encounter.
Huo Lao and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda were his biggest secrets.
If news of this spread out, he would definitely be killed!
Due to this reason, he had to be careful.
"There's such a fortuitous encounter?"
Gu Li's eyes widened in disbelief. However, that was all.
There were all kinds of strange things in the Colossal World!
For this reason, he did not doubt Duan Lingtian's words.
In the Dao Martial Saint Land, fortuitous encounters happened every day. There were both big and small fortuitous encounters. Nobody dared to say they knew everything about fortuitous encounters.
"Then, does this mean your current cultivation base is actually at the same level as mine?"
Wang Fei Xuan who had been following Duan Lingtian quietly could not help but interject at this moment.
"Indeed, in terms of cultivation base."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He treated Gu Li and Wang Fei Xuan as his friends so he decided to reveal this matter to them.
