"Duan Lingtian, how is it? Are you afraid now?"
Duan Ru Lei's eyes contained a sense of ridicule, as if he wanted to see Duan Lingtian's terrified expression.
"Afraid?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes slightly constricted when faced with Duan Ru Lei's question, and he lightly smiled. "Why should I be afraid?"
"Humph!"
Duan Ru Lei's voice went cold. "You're at death's door, yet you still dare to be stubborn! I'll make it clear to you, this is my private courtyard house. Including Elder Ku and those three people, they aren't members of the Duan Clan …. So don't think that they'll take into account that you're a direct descendant of the Duan Clan and show mercy! "
"So you're saying that I'm definitely going to die today, right?"
Duan Lingtian's tone was calm, and in the eyes of others, he seemed to have disregarded life and death and didn't care in the slightest.
"It's good that you know."
Duan Ru Lei's face was covered in a layer of frost as he sneered. "Now, do you regret killing my son?"
"If I say I regret it, could it be that you'll let me off?"
Duan Lingtian replied with a question, and his face was still carefree.
"Of course not! Today, no matter what, you're definitely going to die! "
Duan Ru Lei's gaze went cold as he revealed his determination to kill Duan Lingtian.
"Then isn't it fine? I'll die if I regret it, and I'll die if I don't regret it. Then why should I regret it? Maybe I, Duan Lingtian, will have regrets in my life, and there will be moments of regret …. But, killing your son, Duan Lingxing, I've never regretted it …. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future! "
Duan Lingtian's gaze was like a sword as he stared at Duan Ru Lei in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Good, good …."
Duan Ru Lei was so angry that he started laughing. "As expected of Duan Rufeng's son. You really do have the same demeanor as him!"
Subsequently, Duan Ru Lei's gaze sized Duan Lingtian up from top to bottom. "I heard from my nephew that your cultivation has already stepped into the Origin Core Stage. If I'm not wrong, you seem to be only 18 today … An 18-year-old Origin Core Stage martial artist, in terms of natural talent, you're simply even more monstrous and heaven defying than your father all those years ago. But unfortunately, you're going to die here today!"
Obviously, Duan Ru Lei had also learned of what had happened in Paladin Academy this morning from Duan Rong.
Duan Lingtian, with a cultivation at the Origin Core Stage, defeated the former number one genius of Paladin Academy, Xu Qing.
"An 18-year-old Yuan Dan Stage martial artist?"
The azure clothed old man by Duan Ru Lei's side spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, and his eyes flickered with a strange sheen. "Not to mention the Crimson Sky Kingdom, even in the entire Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's younger generation, such natural talent would probably be considered to be at the top … What a pity."
"However, being able to kill such a monstrous genius in my lifetime can also be considered to be good fortune."
The corners of the azure clothed old man's mouth gradually curled into a wisp of coldness.
Traces of a strange aura extended out from his body …
This aura was noticed by Duan Lingtian's acute Spiritual Force at the first possible moment, causing his eyes to focus once again. "Half-step Void Stage!"
Now, he could finally completely confirm that the old man before him was a Half-step Void Stage expert!
"You know of the Half-step Void Stage?"
The azure clothed old man was slightly surprised when he heard Duan Lingtian, and his pair of strange eyes flickered with a sheen of ridicule. "Looks like you're not simple kid … .Right, being able to control two seventh level Nascent Soul Stage martial artists, I presume you have some ability."
"Since when did an existence at the Half-step Void Stage become someone's lackey? Moreover, you're even a lackey for a cripple at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage! "
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a cold smile as he ridiculed.
The azure clothed old man didn't have any reaction, but Duan Ru Lei's expression had already greatly changed. "Duan Ru Lei, don't speak irresponsibly and sow discord between me and Elder Ku … .Elder Ku is my honored guest, and I've always treated him like an elder!"
"Kid, no matter how much you speak, it's still a waste of time … If I were you, I might kneel down and beg for mercy, and kowtow a few times to the Second Master. Maybe the Second Master's mood will improve and he'll leave you with an intact corpse."
The azure clothed old man wasn't ashamed or angry, and his voice was calm, yet it contained a breathtaking coldness.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into the judge of life and death, and Duan Lingtian was only a mortal waiting for his judgment.
"Kneel down and beg for mercy, an intact corpse?"
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled up into a cold smile, and his fierce gaze descended onto Duan Ru Lei. "You want me to kowtow and beg for mercy? Old man, are you so old that even your brain isn't working properly? Can a cripple like him bear it? Is a cripple like him worthy? "
"Duan Lingtian!"
Duan Ru Lei's face was crimson red as he burst into rage.
In these past few years, although he didn't have his cultivation, his status in the Duan Clan was still important. Who would dare directly call him a cripple in front of him?
Now, this Duan Lingtian repeatedly called him a cripple, and it had completely infuriated him!
"Elder Ku, I'll be troubling you."
Duan Ru Lei took a deep breath as killing intent flashed within his eyes. He looked at the azure clothed old man beside him, and he didn't plan to waste his breath on Duan Lingtian any longer.
"Xing, Father is about to take revenge for you."
Duan Ru Lei's icy cold gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian, as if he'd already seen the scene of Duan Lingtian violently dying on the spot.
"The three of you deal with these two seventh level Nascent Soul Stage martial artists. I'll deal with this kid myself … An 18 year old Nascent Soul Stage martial artist. Kid, I'll always remember you in this lifetime. You'll be the first peerless genius to die at my hands!"
The azure clothed old man's expression was extremely gloomy as he ordered the three old men that surrounded Duan Lingtian, Zhang Qian, and Zhao Gang, then his gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian, and it was filled with ridicule.
"Yes!"
The three old men were extremely respectful and reverent to the azure clothed old man, and when they heard the order, their figures moved and instantly pounced towards Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang.
3,000 ancient mammoth silhouettes dashed out!
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang's gazes focused, and they could only battle with these three evenly matched enemies.
After all, their opponents had more people, and they quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
The azure clothed old man slowly walked out towards Duan Lingtian …
"Kid, you're going to die soon. Could it be that you're not afraid?"
Every step the azure clothed old man took, the sheen of ridicule that was mixed within his eyes grew deeper.
"If I was afraid, could it be that you would let me live?"
Duan Lingtian sneered as he looked at the azure clothed old man as if he was looking at an idiot …
"You're courting death!"
Noticing Duan Lingtian's unusual gaze, the azure clothed old man's face went grim. He flew into a rage out of humiliation, and killing intent that covered the heavens and covered the earth rose up from his body.
"This Duan Lingtian actually dares to infuriate Elder Ku."
The corners of Duan Ru Lei's mouth curled into a cold smile when he saw this scene.
"Old fellow, could it be that you really think you can kill me?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze was calm as he looked at the azure clothed old man who was enraged to the extreme and intended to attack him.
"Stop trying to be mysterious!"
The azure clothed old man had a face of disdain as his figure flashed and walked out.
Just at this critical moment, Ye Zichen was stunned.
Duan Lingtian's feet trembled as his Origin Energy skyrocketed, and he swiftly flashed backwards as he shouted explosively. "Uncle Nie, do you still intend to continue watching the show?"
The azure clothed old man was stunned and stopped his footsteps.
On the other hand, Duan Ru Lei couldn't help but frown …
"Kid, I originally wanted to make you suffer a bit more so that you wouldn't dare act rashly in the future … But I never imagined that I would actually be discovered by you."
Accompanied by a somewhat helpless hearty laugh, a figure flashed in from outside the house and lightly descended before Duan Lingtian, protecting Duan Lingtian behind him.
This was a middle-aged man, and his entire body emitted a peerlessly overbearing aura.
It was precisely the Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan!
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth slightly curled into a faint smile.
Not long after Duan Ru Lei and the azure clothed old man appeared, he'd noticed Nie Yuan who was concealed at the side. This was also the reason why he was able to maintain a carefree expression from beginning to end …
He knew clearly in his heart that with Nie Yuan present, he wouldn't die!
"General!"
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang pulled apart the distance between them and their three opponents before looking at Nie Yuan and respectfully bowing.
"Divine Might Marquis!"
Duan Ru Lei's face went grim. He knew of the friendship between Duan Lingtian's father, Duan Rufeng, and this Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan. For a moment, a bad premonition arose within his heart.
But in next to no time, he caught his breath.
The Divine Might Marquis was an existence at the Half-step Void Stage, and his strength was similar to Elder Ku …
Their side still had a steady chance of victory.
"You're the Divine Might Marquis?"
The azure clothed old man's gaze descended onto Nie Yuan, and it faintly contained a trace of wickedness. "I've long since heard that the Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan, has a shocking strength and is an existence at the Half-step Void Stage … Today, this old man will seek guidance from the Divine Might Marquis!"
Nie Yuan glanced indifferently at the old man. "If you want to seek guidance from me, I'll naturally accompany you … But unfortunately, your opponent today isn't me."
As soon as Nie Yuan finished speaking, he moved.
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian only felt a flash before his eyes, and Nie Yuan vanished on the spot.
In the next moment.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Those three seventh level Nascent Soul Stage existences were all dead!
Duan Lingtian's pupils couldn't help but constrict as he gazed at Nie Yuan who seemed to have returned to his original spot in an instant, and his heart trembled.
Just based on the ability Nie Yuan executed earlier, he was obviously only a step away from the true Void Stage …
Looks like this Uncle Nie of his had extremely high natural talent in the Martial Dao.
"You … have already arrived at the final step?"
The azure clothed old man was originally puzzled by what Nie Yuan said earlier, but now that he saw the ability Nie Yuan executed, his face went pale.
Even if it was the Half-step Void Stage, there was more or less a difference in strength.
Compared to him, Nie Yuan had undoubtedly walked further, and was only a step away from reaching the true Void Stage, the Void Prying Stage!
Whoosh!
Practically at the same time that the azure clothed old man's face went pale, a figure silently sneaked in and descended beside Nie Yuan.
The person that arrived had a tall figure, wore black clothes, and his face was covered by a Ghost King Mask, causing his appearance to be unable to be seen clearly …
Duan Lingtian's face slightly went pale.
He was actually unable to notice the existence of this person in the slightest!
There was only one possibility.
This person was a Void Prying Stage expert!
A true Emptiness Realm Expert!
In the next moment, a scene that caused Duan Lingtian to be even more astonished appeared.
The old man that was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws a moment ago had a ghastly pale expression the instant the ghost masked man appeared, and he even directly knelt on the ground with a thump as he shivered.
"Cap … Leader."
