However, Duan Lingtian could see through the middle-aged man's facade. He wanted to read.
'He seems to be afraid of something … However, what do I have that he's afraid of? If there really is one, it would be my 'dragon skin'! "
"Could it be … that he recognized the origin of my Dragon Warrior's' dragon skin '?"
The more Duan Lingtian thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
If the middle-aged man recognized his dragon skin, he would know he was a Dragon Warrior. Moreover, he was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!
According to Huo Lao, a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior was extremely rare even in the Devata Realms.
Normally, a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior would only appear after a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon had passed down the inheritance to him.
'Could it be that he thinks I have a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon backing me?'
Duan Lingtian thought it was ridiculous when he thought about this.
If he really had a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon backing him, why would he need to go to the Upper Province to save his wife, Kerr? He could just ask the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon for help, and the Zoroastrianism would definitely send Kerr back.
However, Duan Lingtian knew this was only his opinion. Others might not think the same way.
It was obvious that this expert, who seemed to be from the Upper Province, was wary of him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put on such a strong front.
"Tian 'er!"
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, an anxious voice rang in the air. It was Duan Rufeng, Ku Mi, and Rong Yuan. In just a blink of an eye, they arrived next to Duan Lingtian, Xiao Lan, and BiYao.
"Tian 'er, are you alright?"
When Duan Rufeng saw Duan Lingtian's pale face, he did not bother to ask why Duan Lingtian was wearing dragon skin. He was only concerned about his son's safety.
"Father, I'm fine."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. He only suffered internal injuries. As long as he was given time, he would recover completely.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a gust of wind blew past Duan Rufeng. Ku Mi who was originally standing next to Duan Rufeng suddenly made his move. He seemed to have transformed into a gust of wind as he charged toward the middle-aged man in the distance.
"The Azure Cloud Mansion is not a place where you can act presumptuously!"
Ku Mi said sternly as he made his move.
"Elder Ku Mi, no!"
Horror dawned on Duan Lingtian, horror, he did not expect Ku Mi would attack the middle-aged man.
Ku Mi, the middle-aged man's strength, the middle-aged man's strength, he was at least at the Quintessential, the middle-aged man's.
Not to mention Elder Ku, even his father, Duan Ru Feng, wasn't a match for the middle aged man.
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud noise in the void, the withered old body strangely paused in the air for a moment, then burst open, turning into a bloody mist that filled the sky like a bloody rain.
"Ku …"
Rong Yuan's expression changed greatly. He never thought that his good friend of many years would die in front of him like this.
"Elder Ku!"
Horror dawned on Duan Rufeng's face as well.
Ever since he became the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Ku Mi and Rong Yuan had been his right-hand men. As time passed, he no longer treated them as outsiders.
However, Ku Mi had died right in front of his eyes!
He was killed by someone!
Duan Rufeng's eyes turned red immediately.
At this moment, a terrifying Devil Qi surged out of Duan Rufeng's body. Although it was not targeted at Duan Lingtian, Xiao Lan, and Bi Yao, they still felt as though their breathing was restricted. It was extremely unbearable.
This Demonic Qi was still increasing at an extremely fast speed.
The aura on Duan Rufeng's body was getting more and more terrifying.
"Father, no!"
When Duan Lingtian discovered Duan Rufeng had disappeared from his side, horror dawned on his face immediately. He did not think his father would be able to avenge Elder Ku.
The middle-aged man was just too powerful!
"As a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, your strength is comparable to an Early Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator … Not bad! Unfortunately, let alone your strength at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage, even if you unleash your strength at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage, you're still no match for me! "
The middle-aged man's cold voice resonated in the air. Based on his words, it was obvious his cultivation base was above the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage!
At the same time, he began to make his move.
Watch!
Book!
"No!"
When Duan Lingtian saw the middle-aged man was about to make his move again, horror dawned on him immediately.
"No!"
Horror dawned on Xiao Lan and Bi Yao's faces as well. Their eyes were filled with horror.
As for Rong Yuan, he instantly flew out in an attempt to support Duan Rufeng. Although he knew he was no match for the middle-aged man, he did not retreat at all.
If he could die for the sake of the Mansion Master, he would have no regrets in his life.
Bang! Bang!
Two loud bangs reverberated in the air. Duan Rufeng and Rong Yuan were sent flying by the middle-aged man like arrows that were shot out from a bow.
Duan Rufeng only managed to stop himself after he was sent flying far away.
As for Rong Yuan, he fell on the ground in a wretched state. His face was extremely pale. It was obvious he was severely injured.
However, this was not strange. After all, his strength was much weaker than Duan Rufeng.
However, it was obvious the middle-aged man was merciful this time. He did not kill them like he did to Ku Mi previously.
Otherwise, regardless if it was Duan Rufeng or Rong Yuan, it would be impossible for them to survive.
Whoosh!
At the same time, Duan Lingtian heard the sound of wind whistling. In the next instant, a person appeared in his line of sight. It was a person who was just inches away from him.
It was the middle-aged man!
After pushing Xiao Lan and BiYao away, the middle-aged man kicked Duan Lingtian with his leg. With a loud bang, the kick landed on Duan Lingtian's body and threw him to the ground again.
Duan Lingtian who was already injured could not get up after he fell to the ground.
When Xiao Lan and BiYao saw this, they could not take it anymore. Although they knew they were no match for the middle-aged man, they still attacked him.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
The middle-aged man said nonchalantly. He did not even lift a finger, but Xiao Lan and BiYao were sent flying. At the same time, they lost their ability to fight.
Bang!
The middle-aged man lifted his leg and stomped on the dragon scales on Duan Lingtian's chest. He looked down at Duan Lingtian in a condescending manner and said coldly, "I've said before that my patience is limited!"
"You're afraid."
Duan Lingtian who was being stepped on by the middle-aged man felt humiliated. At the same time, he opened his blood-stained mouth and spoke slowly.
"Afraid?"
The middle-aged man's heart trembled when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. However, his mouth was tough. "I'm afraid? What a joke! What's there to be afraid of? "
"Nine-clawed Divine Dragon!"
Duan Lingtian said with a grin on his face as he looked straight into the middle-aged man's eyes.
Nine-clawed Divine Dragon!
Duan Lingtian's words were like a bolt from the blue when they entered the middle-aged man's ears.
This was because Duan Lingtian had guessed everything correctly!
It was so accurate that it made him tremble in fear!
That was the truth.
In the beginning, the middle-aged man wanted to kill Duan Lingtian at lightning speed and seize the Devilseal Tablet.
However, when he saw Duan Lingtian transforming into a Dragon Warrior, he immediately recognized Duan Lingtian as a Dragon Warrior. Moreover, he noticed there were nine claws on each of Duan Lingtian's dragon claws. It was obvious he was not just a Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior or Eight-clawed Dragon Warrior!
Duan Lingtian was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!
If one wanted to become a Dragon Warrior, one would have to receive the Blessing Inheritance from a seven-clawed Divine Dragon or above. Usually, those who received the Blessing Inheritance from a seven-clawed Divine Dragon would become a seven-clawed Dragon Warrior.
Those who received the Blessing Inheritance from an eight-clawed Divine Dragon would become an eight-clawed Dragon Warrior.
In the history of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Dragon Warriors he had heard of were Eight-clawed Dragon Warriors at most.
However, today, he saw a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!
Usually, a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior would be someone who had received the Blessing Inheritance from a nine-clawed Divine Dragon. It seemed like there had never been such a person in the history of the Dao Martial Saint Land. At the very least, in the history he knew, let alone a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, there had never been a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon.
A Dragon Warrior would usually have a close relationship with the Dragon who had given him the Blessing Inheritance. The middle-aged man was afraid of offending a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon so he did not kill Duan Lingtian.
If he had not held back, Duan Lingtian would not have been able to escape death even if he had transformed into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!
"You're very smart."
When the middle-aged man heard Duan Lingtian mentioning the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon, many expressions appeared on his face. In the end, he did not deny it. Instead, he praised Duan Lingtian.
"However, I still stand by my words. Hand over the Devilseal Tablet. I admit that I don't dare to kill you or anyone who's close to you because I'm afraid of the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon behind you. However, it doesn't make any difference to me if I kill other people. "
The middle-aged man said coldly, "If you don't want the Azure Cloud Mansion to be bathed in blood, it's best that you hand over the Devilseal Tablet to me!"
"Y-You dare?!"
When Duan Lingtian heard the middle-aged man admitting that he was afraid of the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon behind him, he thought the middle-aged man would be honest. It did not cross his mind that he would make such a threat.
Bathed in blood in the Azure Cloud Mansion?
"Don't doubt my determination. I'm a man of my words!"
The middle-aged man said coldly. His cross-eyed eyes were filled with ruthlessness as though he was about to devour someone!
Faced with the middle-aged man who was like a cold-blooded animal, Duan Lingtian had no choice but to compromise in the end and hand over the Devilseal Tablet even though he did not want to compromise.
After obtaining the Devilseal Tablet, the middle-aged man chuckled. "Tsk tsk … You're really naive! I'm afraid of the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon behind you, so I don't dare to kill you or your family and friends. However, it doesn't mean that I don't dare to kill those who aren't related to you.
"I was just trying to deceive you earlier … You actually believed me?"
The humiliation that I've suffered because of you today is destined to be washed away with fresh blood! "
The moment the middle-aged man finished speaking, he left with the Devilseal Tablet.
"How dare you?!"
Duan Lingtian was so furious that his eyes were about to pop out. He did not expect the middle-aged man would go back on his words after obtaining the Devilseal Tablet.
At this moment, he felt as though he was about to explode from the anger in his heart.
"In this lifetime, if I, Duan Lingtian, don't kill you, I swear I'm not a human!"
Unknowingly, Duan Lingtian's eyes were bloodshot, and his body emitted waves of terrifying killing intent.
It had been a long time since he was this angry!
