No matter what, Duan Lingtian had never imagined that he would encounter Pei San once more.
Moreover, it was on the streets of the inner city of the Imperial City.
The affairs of the world are truly unpredictable!
As he recalled the sorry state he was in after cutting off Pei San's arm, Duan Lingtian suddenly had a feeling as if a lifetime had passed.
He still remembered that time when he desperately spurred his horse towards Triumph City, only for the sake of escaping the pursuit of the expert by Pei San's side …
He could imagine that if he was caught by the expert by Pei San's side at that time, he would die for sure!
Later on, even if he stayed in Triumph City for a few days, he still advanced step by step, as he was deeply afraid of being found.
At that time, Pei San was an extremely great threat to him.
It was even to the extent that once he was found by Pei San, Pei San only had to say a word, and he would die on the spot!
In the past, he was filled with fear towards Pei San's identity as the son of the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor.
Yet now …
Duan Lingtian suddenly noticed that when he met Pei San once more, besides being slightly surprised, he didn't have any other emotions.
Perhaps, it was because he stood at a different height.
Or perhaps, it had been too long.
"I've finally found you!"
Pei San gnashed his teeth as he walked out of the carriage, and his eyes were filled with icy cold killing intent as he gazed at the youth on the horse.
Duan Lingtian looked at Pei San with a calm expression.
In the past, he might have been afraid of Pei San.
Now, Pei San was already not on the same level as him. It was even to the extent that so long as he wanted, he only had to say a word, and it was sufficient to make the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor's Estate behind Pei San change hands …
He believed that so long as he spoke to the Emperor, the Emperor would absolutely satisfy his request.
It was even to the extent that he only had to give an order now, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him would attack like a bolt of lightning, causing Pei San's blood to splatter and die on the spot.
But he didn't do this, and even didn't have the intention to fuss about it with Pei San.
"Third Young Master, what's wrong?"
Right at this moment, two more people walked out successively from the carriage and stood behind Pei San.
An old man and a young man.
The old man was obviously an existence at the Nascent Soul Stage.
As for the young man …
"Li Qing?"
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. The young man standing behind Pei San was none other than Li Qing who had left the Li Clan that day.
He didn't expect that after this Li Qing left the Li Clan, he would actually walk together with the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor's Estate's third young master.
The affairs of the world were truly unpredictable!
Only after hearing Duan Ling Tian's voice did Li Qing look towards Duan Ling Tian. With just a glance, his face abruptly went pale, and he hurriedly said to Pei San who was before him, "Third Young Master, it was this person that crippled your arm that day, it's him! It's him! "
"Blood Feud, do you think I still need you to tell me?"
Pei San turned his head slightly and glanced at Li Qing. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "So, 'Li Qing' is your real name … No wonder I couldn't find out anything about you during these two years. Li Qing, you really have a good trick up your sleeve. You really hid it well. "
"Third Young Master, I …"
Li Qing's gaze was difficult to unravel, and a bitter smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. I was exposed in the end?
"Hmph! I'll deal with you later. "
Pei San's voice was cold and indifferent, and then his gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian. "Over two years ago, you crippled my arm … Today, I'll make you return it with interest."
"Oh?"
Duan Lingtian asked indifferently. "How do I return it with interest?"
"I'll take your life!"
Pei San's voice was filled with hatred and ruthlessness.
"Presumptuous!"
The faces of the two old men by Duan Lingtian's side sank as they shouted out in unison.
"Hmm?"
Pei San frowned. Only now did he realize that the youth before him wasn't alone, and the gaze he looked at Duan Lingtian with became even colder. "What? Do you think I, Pei San, can't touch you just because you have a few helpers?"
"Pei San."
Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto Pei San, and he said indifferently, "That year outside Triumph City, who started the fight between us, you know best … Today, it can be considered fate that we're able to meet again. I don't want to fuss about the matter from that year with you, so let's write it off at this point! "
It had been two years, and he didn't suffer any losses that year, so Duan Lingtian didn't want to fuss about it anymore.
The current Pei San was already not on the same level as him, and he had no intention of using his strength to bully the weak.
Just let everything in the past be gone with the wind …
However, this was only Duan Lingtian's wishful thinking.
A wisp of a cold smile appeared on the corners of Pei San's mouth when he heard Duan Lingtian. "You're saying this because you're afraid? During these past two years, I've never forgotten the scene of you crippling my arm … I wish for nothing more than to tear you into pieces, burn your bones, and scatter your ashes! Only in this way can I vent the hatred in my heart! "
"If you knew this day would come, then why did you do it in the past … That year, if you'd properly received my Sister Ru's whip, then the matters after that wouldn't have happened. So, even if you die today, you can only blame yourself for being too arrogant that year. You don't know who you can offend, and who you can't! "
"I, the son of the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor, am an existence that a lowly commoner like you can't afford to offend!"
As he finished speaking, Pei San's voice was filled with ruthlessness and arrogance.
Li Qing stood behind Pei San, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. He too felt that Duan Lingtian was going to die on the spot today …
Although he didn't know why Duan Lingtian would appear in the Imperial City.
But as far as he was concerned, Duan Lingtian would die without a doubt if he encountered the berserk Pei San!
Only, the expression of the old man behind Pei San was slightly unnatural.
He noticed that after his Young Master spoke these words, the passersby on both sides of the road all revealed looks of disdain …
The son of the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor?
Scolding the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Duan Lingtian, who was currently in the limelight, as a lowly commoner?
A comical feeling arose within the hearts of the passersby.
At this moment, they even forgot to whisper in whispers, and concentrated their minds and calmly watched the development of the matter before their eyes …
But the gazes they shot at Pei San all leaped with traces of a mischievous smile.
"Grandpa Huai, I want him dead!"
Pei San stretched out his hand to point at Duan Lingtian, and his gaze was filled with bloodthirsty killing intent as he fiercely shouted.
But, Pei San quickly noticed that the old man behind him didn't move.
As if he didn't hear what Pei San said at all.
"Grandpa Huai."
Pei San was stunned, then he turned around to look at the old man behind him, only to notice that the old man's gaze was staring at the waist of the youth that sat astride the tall horse.
His gaze followed along.
This gaze caused him to be on the verge of being scared out of his wits …
Embroidered Uniform Guard!
Yesterday, he'd arrived at the Imperial City and stayed for a night in the outer city.
In the restaurants in the outer city, he'd heard of the rumors of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and knew that the Embroidered Uniform Guard was the most terrifying and also the most arrogant and despotic organization in the Imperial City …
Supposedly, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Duan Lingtian, was only 18 years old this year, but he'd already deeply received the favor of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Emperor and had become the Emperor's spokesperson.
Even though he was far away in Swallow Mountain County, he'd heard of Duan Lingtian and knew that Duan Lingtian was the number one genius of Paladin Academy.
This time, he'd come to the Imperial City precisely with the intention of reporting to Paladin Academy.
As far as he was concerned, once he arrived at Paladin Academy, he might have a chance to see this legendary figure …
A few months ago, when he'd first heard of Duan Lingtian, he'd already had a trace of yearning in his heart, as he was curious about what sort of figure Duan Lingtian was.
When he arrived at the Imperial City and found out about Duan Lingtian's' accomplishments' in the northwest border battlefield, admiration arose from the bottom of his heart.
When he heard that Duan Lingtian had become the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and had even led over 10 Embroidered Uniform Guards to directly charge into the City Guard Army's campsite and kill the City Guard Army's Commander, Xue Lu, he only felt his blood boil.
From that moment onwards, he'd practically taken Duan Lingtian to be his' idol. '
However, now.
"You … You're the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Duan Lingtian?"
Pei San took a deep breath and harbored a final trace of hope in his heart as he looked at Duan Lingtian. At this moment, he really hoped that Duan Lingtian would deny it.
"What do you think?"
Duan Lingtian looked calmly at Pei San as he replied with a question.
"This son of the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor has finally recognized Commander Duan!"
"Truly laughable! He actually threatened to tear Commander Duan into pieces and burn his bones to ashes …. "
"Humph! He's only the son of the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor. Even if the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor personally came today, he wouldn't dare be so presumptuous in front of Commander Duan. This Pei San is really courting death! "
"This Pei San had an expression of deep hatred earlier, but now, his face is filled with terror and disbelief."
"It's normal! After all, he's recognized Commander Duan now. If he still dares to act like before, then his head has really been kicked by a donkey! "
...
The surrounding crowd of spectators discussed animatedly and didn't intentionally suppress their voices.
"Duan … Commander Duan?"
Pei San's body trembled, his face ghastly pale, and he was dumbstruck.
He'd completely confirmed it!
He'd never imagined that the person he'd desperately wanted to kill these past two years would actually be this Duan Lingtian!
At this moment, the hatred in his heart had completely collapsed.
Only a sense of loss and powerlessness remained.
Just as the surrounding crowd of spectators had said, with Duan Lingtian's current status and influence, not to mention him, even his father, the Swallow Mountain County's County Governor, had to treat him with respect.
A trace of bitterness appeared on the face of the old man behind Pei San.
This youth was the violet-clothed youth that he chased into Triumph City all those years ago?
In a mere two years, this youth had actually already stood at such a height …
Even he could only look up to Pei San.
"No … No … Impossible! It's impossible! "
Li Qing stood behind Pei San as he ceaselessly shook his head, unwilling to believe that all this was true.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander, Duan Lingtian?
He'd heard of the Duan Lingtian that had given rise to much discussion within the Crimson Sky Kingdom in the past few months.
But he didn't connect the Duan Lingtian of legend with his sworn enemy, the Duan Lingtian …
As far as he was concerned, his sworn enemy, Duan Lingtian, was only a disciple with a different surname from a branch family under the Aurora City's Li Clan.
Whereas the rumored peerless genius, Duan Lingtian, was instead a direct descendant of the Imperial City's Duan Clan!
In the past, he'd thought that the two of them only had the same name.
