Swoosh!
Like a meteor streaking across the night sky, the sword light locked onto Chen Yi Ru and whistled through the air, getting closer and closer to Chen Yi Ru …
100 meters.
50 meters.
20 meters.
…
When the three-foot-long sword was only a foot away from Chen Yi Ru, it suddenly stopped in a way that completely ignored inertia and transcended reality. It floated in the void and emitted waves of cold and sharp Sword Qi.
"Hm?"
Chen Yi Ru could not help but open his eyes when he sensed the ice-cold Sword Qi surging toward him.
He discovered that the sword ray had pierced through the air.
Duan Ling Tian's three-foot-long blade was floating between his brows, and it was only a foot away from him!
If it moved a little closer, it would be enough to kill him.
'He … He didn't kill me?'
When Chen Yi Ru thought of this, he immediately looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of bewilderment in his eyes. He no longer cared about the joy he felt from surviving the calamity.
Naturally, there was a hint of dread in his eyes.
Duan Lingtian's strength had terrified Chen Yi Ru so much that he no longer dared to provoke Duan Lingtian.
In his opinion, Duan Lingtian was no longer an Eminent Celestial. He was a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.
Even an ordinary Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial might not be as strong as Duan Lingtian.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Chen Yi Ru asked in a hoarse voice as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"I didn't kill you because I wanted to give you a choice …"
Duan Ling Tian did not beat around the bush as he said, "If you swear on the lightning penalty oath and acknowledge me as your master, I'll spare your life. However, if you're unwilling, I won't force you. I'll give you a quick death!"
Swoosh!
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, Chen Yi Ru's eyes widened in anger as he narrowed his eyes.
"Impossible!"
Chen Yi Ru cried out without hesitation, "I'd rather die than be humiliated! How can I, a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, submit to a mere Eminent Celestial like you? "
A Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial had the pride of a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.
No matter how much Chen Yi Ru didn't want to die, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. He wasn't willing to recognize someone as his master and be their servant!
"You're a man of integrity!"
Duan Lingtian sneered as killing intent flashed in his eyes. "In that case, I'll give you a quick death. I'll use my strongest attack to end your life!"
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he stepped forward again.
To a certain extent, Duan Ling Tian respected Chen Yi Ru for his unyielding character.
For this reason, Duan Ling Tian decided to use his strongest attack to end Chen Yi Ru's life to show his respect for Chen Yi Ru.
"His strongest attack?"
Chen Yi Ru's heart skipped a beat when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. "Based on his words, the attack that destroyed my Apocalypse Saber isn't his strongest attack?"
"H-how's this possible?!
The strength of that attack is comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial's attack! Moreover, not all Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials are capable of such a powerful attack! "
Chen Yi Ru was still in shock when he heard Duan Lingtian's words.
Duan Lingtian's body suddenly shone brightly as though it was as bright as the sun and the moon.
Then, thousands of sword rays shot out from his body, as if they were coming out from every pore on his body ….
In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian's body gradually melted as the myriad of sword rays appeared. In the end, he merged with the myriad of sword rays.
At this moment, it seemed as though Duan Lingtian had vanished into thin air, leaving behind only the sword rays that were gathering at an unbelievable speed.
Whoosh!
In just a blink of an eye, the sword rays disappeared and was replaced by a milky-white, three-foot-long sword. From afar, it looked like an ordinary sword.
All of a sudden …
Buzz!
Along with a soft sound, the three-foot-long blade that was suspended in the air swung down at an unhurried speed.
"This …"
At this time, not to mention Chen Yi Ru, even Chen Yi Ru's two servants could easily see the trajectory of the three-foot-long sword!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Accompanied by the sound of something being torn apart, the three-foot-long sword seemed to be casually swinging through the air, leaving behind a long and narrow crack in the void.
As soon as the spatial crack appeared, Chen Yi Ru and his two servants narrowed their eyes in unison.
This was because the tear in the void was much narrower and longer than the tear in the void that Duan Ling Tian had created when he wielded his sword. In fact, it was twice as long as the tear in the void.
'It'll take at least 30 minutes for the tear in the void to completely heal, right?'
The thought popped up in Chen Yi Ru's mind.
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, his expression changed drastically. 'This … It seems like only a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial or above would be able to create such a tear in the void, right?'
"This … this is his strongest attack? It's comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial's attack? '
Chen Yi Ru felt his scalp go numb when he thought about this.
Heavens!
Duan Lingtian's cultivation base was only an Eminent Celestial, but when he cast his assist-type Divine Ability and his sword technique, his attack was comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.
'Is his sword technique from the Devata Realm as well?'
For a moment, Chen Yi Ru couldn't help but think.
'That's not right!'
'He's the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect. The previous successor of the Fog Rain Progeny was Feng Qingyang, the Prodigy Sword Saint!'
'Is it possible that he's Feng Qingyang's successor?'
'If that's the case, it makes sense. After all, Feng Qingyang was a monstrous genius back then … '
'It's said that when he was an Eminent Celestial, he had killed an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial when he was close to ascending!'
'If Duan Lingtian is Feng Qingyang's successor, it wouldn't be strange for him to possess strength comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial when he was only an Eminent Celestial. After all, Feng Qingyang was a monstrous sword cultivator who had killed an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial when he was only an Eminent Celestial!'
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Yi Ru's mind at this moment.
A hint of reverence could be seen in his eyes when he thought about the Prodigy Sword Saint, Feng Qingyang.
"Chen Yi Ru, I'll use my strongest attack to end your life today!"
At the same time, Duan Lingtian's voice rang in Chen Yi Ru's ears again, causing chills to run up his spine.
The voice came from the sword hovering in the air in the distance.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian had transformed into a sword. He was the sword, and the sword was him!
"Wait!"
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the three-foot-long blade trembled violently. Just as it was about to strike, Chen Yi Ru hastily stopped Duan Ling Tian.
"Hm?"
The three-foot-long sword paused for a moment.
"Duan Lingtian … Are you … Are you the successor of Senior Feng Qingyang, the Prodigy Sword Saint, the former successor of the Fog Rain Progeny of the Seven Absolutes Sect?"
Chen Yi Ru asked after taking a deep breath.
"So what if I am?"
Duan Lingtian's indifferent voice rang from the three-foot-long sword.
"The sword technique you're using … Is it Senior Feng Qingyang's ultimate technique?"
Chen Yi Ru asked again.
"Since you're about to die, there's no harm in telling you … I'm indeed Senior Feng Qingyang's successor. The sword technique I'm using is also from Senior Feng Qingyang's legacy!"
Duan Lingtian admired Chen Yi Ru's integrity from the bottom of his heart.
Otherwise, he would not have bothered to waste his breath on Chen Yi Ru. He would have killed Chen Yi Ru with his sword.
However, what Duan Lingtian did not expect was that Chen Yi Ru would not hesitate to kill Chen Yi Ru.
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Chen Yi Ru immediately swore on the lightning penalty oath to serve Duan Lingtian as his master.
Duan Lingtian was still in a daze when he saw this.
Wasn't Chen Yi Ru supposed to have integrity?
Wasn't he supposed to rather die than submit?
Could it be that Chen Yi Ru was putting on an act earlier? Was he a person who was afraid of death?
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
Kerr, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan were stunned as well.
Chen Yi Ru's two servants were stunned as well.
"Master … He swore on the lightning penalty oath to serve Duan Lingtian as his master?"
The burly middle-aged man and the skinny middle-aged man exchanged a look. They could see the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
As Chen Yi Ru's servants, they knew Chen Yi Ru's temperament very well. They knew Chen Yi Ru was a person who valued his dignity more than his own life.
For this reason, Chen Yi Ru had expressed his stance earlier.
He would rather die than serve Duan Lingtian as his master.
Naturally, they were not surprised by this.
However, Chen Yi Ru's sudden change of heart after speaking to Duan Lingtian and swearing on the lightning penalty oath to serve Duan Lingtian as his master shocked them.
They were even more shocked than Duan Lingtian and the three women by Duan Lingtian's side.
"I thought you were a man of integrity … As it turns out, you're just a coward!"
At this moment, the three-foot-long sword that was hovering in the air disappeared, and Duan Lingtian reappeared. A hint of disdain could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Chen Yi Ru.
"It's not shameful to serve Senior Feng Qingyang's successor as my master …"
Chen Yi Ru shook his head nonchalantly in the face of Duan Lingtian's disdain. Then, he stood up straight and bowed respectfully at Duan Lingtian.
"Chen Yi Ru greets master!"
