"Little bastard, don't speak without thinking! Even a Grade Six Alchemist is helpless against the poison of the Dark Nether Mink. Who are you trying to fool? "
Xue Yun's icy cold eyes flashed past Duan Lingtian as he sneered.
As far as he was concerned, Duan Lingtian was only an ignorant youth!
Duan Lingtian couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on Xue Yun, and he said indifferently, "Elder Hong, Elder Qin … You two ought to remember what the Senior Marquis said to you two when you left the Divine Might Marquis Estate with me, right? I don't care what Specter Guard he is. Now, I want him dead. "
Duan Lingtian's tone was carefree, yet it revealed dense killing intent.
A Half-step Void Stage expert was too great of a threat to him …
Moreover, the enmity between him and this Half-step Void Stage expert could be said to be irreconcilable.
If the Half-step Void Stage expert didn't die, his heart wouldn't be at ease.
"Yes, Lord Commander!"
Elder Hong and Elder Qin nodded and directly attacked with their full strength.
"Hmph!"
Xue Yun's face went grim, and with a raise of his hand, a three-foot-long blade appeared in his hand.
His Origin Energy skyrocketed, and the three-foot-long blade emitted a wave of sword howls, and the ancient mammoth silhouettes above him instantly soared to over 1,900 …
Obviously, this was a grade seven spirit weapon!
But, only he had a grade seven spirit weapon?
Elder Hong and Elder Qin each withdrew their grade seven spirit weapons, and over 1,900 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared above them as well …
The grade seven spirit weapon in Elder Hong's hand was a spear.
The grade seven spirit weapon in Elder Qin's hand was a bone fan.
Swish!
Xue Yun attacked. The sword in his hand seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning that tore through the sky, and a piercing howl sounded out as it flashed straight towards Elder Qin.
Perhaps, as far as he was concerned, only by injuring Elder Qin would he have the hope of escaping.
Elder Qin didn't dodge, and with a raise of his hand, the bone fan in his hand started to revolve faster and faster, emitting an ear piercing howl of the wind that caused the surrounding air to freeze.
Om!
Origin Energy skyrocketed on the bone fan, and it actually revolved as it flashed out, aiming straight for Xue Yun's throat.
Facing Xue Yun's sword, Elder Qin wasn't afraid in the slightest, and seemed to be waiting for Xue Yun's sword to flash over.
Whoosh!
At the critical moment, the long spear in Elder Hong's hand shook. Like a dragon coming out of its cave, it tore through the sky and blocked Xue Yun's sword.
"No!"
Xue Yun shouted. This would be the last sound he made in his life.
His head was directly twisted off by the rotating bone fan.
Death!
The two halves of Xue Yun's body fell to the ground, staining the ground with blood.
At this time, Old Man Qin raised his hand, and the fan returned to his hand. There was not a trace of blood on it.
"So strong!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed in surprise.
At the same time, he was shocked by the alliance between Elder Hong and Elder Qin …
The two of them had a tacit understanding and trusted each other.
When faced with Xue Yun's sword, not only did Old Qin not dodge, he instead took advantage of that moment to unleash his strongest attack, causing Xue Yun to be unable to defend against it.
He dared to do so because he trusted Elder Hong.
Elder Hong didn't disappoint him and blocked the sword that was about to pierce through his chest.
He believed that when Elder Hong and Elder Qin joined forces, there probably weren't many Half-step Void Stage experts below the Void Prying Stage that were a match for them.
"With Elder Hong and Elder Qin's strength, they're absolutely the Divine Might Marquis Estate's trump card … I never imagined that Grandpa Nie would lend them to me."
A trace of warmth arose in Duan Lingtian's heart.
Whereas the other eight people that the Divine Might Marquis sent to Duan Lingtian didn't reveal the slightest surprise, as if they'd known since long ago that Elder Hong and Elder Qin possessed such strength.
Duan Lingtian took off Xue Yun's Spatial Ring and picked up his grade seven spirit sword.
Xue Yun's sword was completely jet black and revealed a sense of simplicity.
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian's hand shook and black colored lightning flashed out, whereas, 39 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared above Duan Lingtian …
"An amplification of 27%, not bad. It's better than the grade eight spirit weapon I'm refining now."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart and directly put away the completely jet black grade seven spirit sword.
Meanwhile, all the Embroidered Uniform Guards present, including Elder Hong and Elder Qin, were all dumbstruck.
When their Lord Commander utilized a grade seven spirit weapon, he was able to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth to develop 39 ancient mammoth silhouettes …
A grade seven spirit weapon amplified strength by almost 30%.
In other words, even without a spirit weapon, he was still able to exert the strength of 30 ancient mammoths.
Second level of the Origin Core Stage!
They never imagined that their Lord Commander had already broken through to the second level of the Origin Core Stage …
An 18-year-old second level Origin Core Stage martial artist!
They felt their scalps go numb.
In next to no time, after instructing the remaining Embroidered Uniform Guards to deal with Xue Yun's corpse, Duan Lingtian called out to Elder Hong and Elder Qin before walking into the rear courtyard together.
Duan Lingtian looked at the two old men and asked curiously. "Elder Hong, Elder Qin … What exactly are the Mortal Emperor and Specter Guard that Xue Yun spoke of earlier? Can you two explain it to me? "
"Of course."
Elder Hong nodded, and his expression became slightly serious. "His Majesty the Mortal Emperor is called Mortal Emperor Chu, and he's the half-brother of the current Emperor. He's from the same generation as your father, Duan Rufeng … That year, in the younger generation of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, his natural talent was only inferior to your father."
"Later on, Mortal Emperor Chu left the Crimson Sky Kingdom and went to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom to wander … When he returned over 10 years later, his cultivation had stepped into the Void Prying Stage! At that time, the Void Prying Stage expert of the older generation of the Imperial Family had just passed away, and he took over the heavy responsibility of protecting the Imperial Family and became the Mortal Emperor that hid behind the scenes. "
"As for the Specter Guard, they were the servants by the side of the Mortal Emperor. There were a total of nine of them, and all of them were Half-step Void Stage experts."
Elder Hong finished speaking in one breath.
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding.
Mortal Emperor Chu!
The Void Stage expert of the Imperial Family!
He deeply remembered it in his heart.
"Lord Commander, the Marquis sent someone to inform you to make a trip to the Divine Might Marquis Estate."
Right at this moment, a voice sounded out from the front courtyard.
Duan Lingtian, who was in the rear courtyard, heard it clearly, and he lightly smiled to the two people before him. "Elder Hong, Elder Qin, come with me."
Before long, Duan Lingtian had once again arrived at the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
"Little Tian, the medicinal materials you wanted have been gathered."
The Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan, revealed a smile when he saw Duan Lingtian arrive.
"So fast?"
Duan Lingtian was slightly surprised. After all, one of the main medicinal catalysts to refine the grade eight Spirit Cleansing Pill was an extremely rare medicinal material. Even in the Imperial City, it was extremely rare.
He never imagined that it had only been a few days, and this Uncle Nie of his had already gathered it.
The Divine Might Marquis Estate's resources and reserves were extraordinary as expected.
Nie Yuan smiled. "Amongst those medicinal materials, there was an extremely rare medicinal material …. However, it just so happened that an alchemist I knew possessed it, so I asked him to transfer it to me."
Duan Lingtian nodded and arrived at the rear courtyard of the Divine Might Marquis Estate with Nie Yuan.
Before long, Duan Lingtian withdrew his cauldron and condensed a grade eight Pill Fire, then he started to officially refine the grade eight Spirit Cleansing Pill.
Duan Lingtian placed a pile of medicinal materials into the cauldron and spent three hours to refine seven grade eight Spirit Cleansing Pills, which slightly exceeded his expectations.
"Grandpa Nie, these three grade eight Spirit Cleansing Pills are the same as last time, consume them in three batches …. After three months, the toxic poison of the Dark Nether Mink in your body will completely vanish!"
Duan Lingtian put away four grade eight Spirit Cleansing Pills and passed the other three to the old man.
The old man directly consumed one, and his face revealed a carefree smile. "Little Tian, it's all thanks to you."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. "Grandpa Nie, there's no need to be courteous with me. If it wasn't for you sending Old Hong and Old Qin to me today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see you again."
If it wasn't for those two old men today, it could be imagined that it would be impossible for Duan Lingtian to survive under Xue Yun's hands.
"What's going on?"
The old man's face sank when he heard this, and his pair of muddy eyes lit up with a bright light as killing intent shot out.
"Little Tian, who's so audacious to dare touch you?"
Nie Yuan had an enraged expression as well.
"Grandpa Nie, Uncle Nie, don't worry, he's already dead …. That person is called Xue Yun, and he seems to be the father of the City Guard Army's Commander, Xue Lu."
Duan Lingtian spoke slowly.
"Xue Yun? According to my knowledge, he seems to be a Specter Guard …. But, since he dared touch you, he deserved to die. "
The old man had a casual expression, as if he didn't take Xue Yun's death to heart in the slightest.
Nie Yuan was more or less the same.
"Uncle Nie, you haven't consumed the Monkey King Wine?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Nie Yuan and changed the topic.
"I intend to consume it in a few days …. At that time, I'll temporarily leave the Imperial City and find a place to welcome the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"
Nie Yuan lightly smiled.
"Looks like Uncle Nie is extremely confident in stepping into the Void Prying Stage in a short period of time."
Duan Lingtian blinked his eyes and smiled.
"Haha …. Even if Uncle Nie steps into the Void Prying Stage, it's all because of you. If it wasn't for your Monkey King Wine, I don't know how long it would take for me to break through, and I might even be unable to break through in my entire lifetime. "
As he finished speaking, Nie Yuan shook his head and sighed.
Even though he was only a step away from the Void Prying Stage.
But in the history of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, many Half-step Void Stage martial artists like him had appeared.
Among them, 90% and above were unable to break through to the Void Prying Stage until they died.
If one wanted to step into the Void Prying Stage, one must possess extraordinary natural talent.
Of course, with ordinary natural talent, it wasn't impossible to break through to the Void Prying Stage ….
As long as one had the assistance of a Void Advancement Pill, Monkey King Wine, or similar external forces, one could similarly smoothly break through to the Void Prying Stage.
"Uncle Nie, you're exaggerating. Even Grandpa Nie was able to break through to the Void Prying Stage, how could you possibly have a problem?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
However, Nie Yuan hadn't spoken when the old man spoke first. "Little Tian, you don't know …. Grandpa Nie was able to break through to the Void Prying Stage because he consumed a Void Advancement Pill. If I didn't have a Void Advancement Pill, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to break through to the Void Prying Stage in my entire lifetime."
Duan Lingtian was stunned, as he never imagined that the old man relied on a Void Advancement Pill to break through to the Void Prying Stage.
After leaving the Divine Might Marquis Estate, Duan Lingtian directly returned home.
He called Xiong Quan over.
"Young Master!"
Xiong Quan respectfully bowed to Duan Lingtian.
"Xiong Quan, take it."
