"Captain Qin Yu."
Duan Lingtian nodded in response to Qin Yu's greeting.
Duan Lingtian had a rough idea of what had happened on the way here.
As it turned out, Qin Yu was Jian Qiu Ping's centurion. He had come out of his closed-door cultivation and challenged Jian Qiu Ping. Since Jian Qiu Ping had admitted defeat, Qin Yu had replaced Jian Qiu Ping as the new captain while Jian Qiu Ping was demoted to a centurion.
'No wonder Jian Qiu Ping called himself a centurion when he challenged me.'
Duan Ling Tian finally understood the situation after he learned about the ins and outs of the matter.
"Lord Captain!"
"Lord Captain!"
…
At the same time, a series of respectful greetings rang in Duan Lingtian's ears.
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and saw his subordinates from the Black Dragon Army had gathered together and bowed to him.
Duan Lingtian was slightly surprised by this.
Although he knew that he had intimidated his subordinates to a certain extent when he made his move last time, it was still not enough.
However, he didn't expect that after that incident, this group of people's attitude towards him would change so drastically.
"So he's the new captain, Duan Lingtian?"
"It should be him. Didn't you see the group of people who used to be under Captain Huang Jibing's command greeting him? "
"Isn't he just a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial? If he's just a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial, there's no way these people would treat him with such respect, right? "
"Who knows? Based on the current situation, there's no doubt everyone has their reasons. As for the new captain's strength, we'll find out after the battle between him and Jian Qiu Ping. "
…
In the Valley of Ares, the Black Dragon Army's soldiers looked at Duan Lingtian and sized him up.
Apart from Duan Lingtian's subordinates, it was the first time the other soldiers had seen Duan Lingtian, their new chiliarch.
"I didn't expect that the first time I saw the new chiliarch would be when he was fighting another veteran chiliarch of the Black Dragon Army, Jian Qiuping, who had just been promoted to a centurion."
"I'm curious … How capable is the person who found Chiliarch Huang Jibing's identity token?"
"I'm looking forward to this battle."
…
The Black Dragon Army's soldiers shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian before they shifted their attention to Jian Qiu Ping who was standing in the middle of the Valley of Ares.
Duan Lingtian, Jian Qiuping.
He was today's main character!
"Duan Lingtian, you actually came …"
Jian Qiuping stood on the first battle in the Valley of Ares as he stared at Duan Lingtian. His tone was filled with disdain.
"I thought you would hide in your tent and pretend to be in closed-door cultivation even if you knew I was going to challenge you. I didn't expect you to come!"
Jian Qiuping's words were filled with disdain. He was clearly provoking Duan Lingtian.
For a moment …
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Many people shifted their gazes from Jian Qiu Ping to Duan Ling Tian.
"How presumptuous!"
Faced with Jian Qiu Ping's disdain, Duan Ling Tian flew past Chen Xuan Ba, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, and landed in the Valley of Ares where Jian Qiu Ping was.
Whoosh!
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he hovered in the air above the first battle and looked down at Jian Qiuping.
Whoosh!
Jian Qiu Ping was furious when he saw how Duan Ling Tian dared to look down on him. His expression changed drastically.
Whoosh!
Following that, he rose into the air and hovered in the air parallel to Duan Ling Tian. He glared at Duan Ling Tian as he hovered in the air.
The aura of Celestial Origin Energy spread out from his body. It was clear that he had completed the accumulation of energy in his body in an instant.
"I really don't know where a mere Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial like you gets the courage to say I, Jian Qiuping, am presumptuous!"
Jian Qiuping said in a deep voice as he stared coldly at Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian looked at Jian Qiuping calmly. However, he did not seem to care about Jian Qiuping at all. He stood there motionless like a statue.
"Of course, Duan Lingtian, I have to admit that you're quite capable. At the very least, you're able to get your subordinates to help and protect you in such a short time. They even spread fake news that you're not a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial and that you're not weaker than me. In fact, you're even stronger than me!"
Jian Qiuping's expression darkened when he saw Duan Lingtian ignoring him. His words were filled with ruthlessness.
"Hm?"
Duan Ling Tian was taken aback when he heard Jian Qiu Ping's words. He turned to look at the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army.
He didn't expect that his subordinates had done so much for him without his knowledge.
The centurion who was injured by Duan Lingtian earlier stepped forward when he saw Duan Lingtian looking at him.
"Sir Chiliarch, Centurion Jian Qiuping came to our camp today and said that he will defeat you and replace you as our chiliarch and teach us a lesson after that …"
However, we believe that Lord Chiliarch will never give him the chance to do so! "
The centurion's emotions were stirred up when he spoke.
"That's right!"
"Lord Chiliarch, we believe in you!"
"Lord Chiliarch, we believe that you won't give him the chance to replace you!"
…
After the centurion had stirred up the emotions of the Black Dragon Army, Duan Lingtian's subordinates, as well. All of them looked at Duan Lingtian expectantly, anticipating the victory of their new Chiliarch.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Jian Qiu Ping's expression changed drastically as he glared at the centurion under Duan Ling Tian's command. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian's subordinate would repeat his words in such a situation.
After all, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army was present as well.
Although it was not taboo in the Black Dragon Army to seek revenge on one's subordinates, it was still despicable.
At the very least, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army would not sit idly by and do nothing.
"Jian Qiuping!"
As expected, Chen Xuan Ba, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, was furious when he heard Jian Qiu Ping's words. He glared at Jian Qiu Ping and asked in a deep voice, "Is what he said true?"
"Commander, I … I was just joking with them …"
Jian Qiuping hurriedly bowed and tried to salvage the situation.
At this time, he also knew that he could not deny it.
Duan Ling Tian's subordinates, the Black Dragon Army, could easily drown him with just a spit of saliva.
"Hmph!"
Chen Xuanba snorted coldly as he looked at Jian Qiuping coldly. Jian Qiuping was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. Chen Xuanba turned to Qin Yu and said, "Captain Qin Yu, if Jian Qiuping defeats Duan Lingtian today and replaces him, you'll switch places with him. You'll take over Captain Duan Lingtian's subordinates, and Jian Qiuping will return to lead his old subordinates."
"I'll follow your arrangements, Commander."
Qin Yu replied immediately.
"This … Commander actually made such an arrangement?"
The Black Dragon Army soldiers in the Valley of the Ares God were stunned when they heard Chen Xuanba's arrangement. When they regained their senses, a commotion broke out again.
"It seems like even Commander Chen thinks highly of Centurion Jian Qiuping."
"Isn't it obvious? If Commander Chen didn't think highly of Centurion Jian Qiuping, why would he make such an arrangement? "
"Lord Commander is planning to hand over Captain Duan Ling Tian's subordinates to Captain Qin Yu after Centurion Jian Qiu Ping defeats Captain Duan Ling Tian and replaces him. He's doing this to prevent Centurion Jian Qiu Ping from bullying his subordinates after he becomes the new Captain of Duan Ling Tian!"
"It seems like Captain Duan Lingtian has no chance of winning today."
"Since Commander Chen doesn't think highly of Captain Duan Lingtian, there's no doubt about the outcome of this battle."
…
Now that Chen Xuanba had spoken to Qin Yu, other than Duan Lingtian's subordinates, almost everyone in the Valley of the Ares God was certain that Duan Lingtian would lose.
If they had not seen Duan Lingtian fight with their own eyes and heard Chen Xuanba's words, even Duan Lingtian's subordinates would doubt Duan Lingtian's strength.
However, even after hearing Chen Xuanba's words, they were still confident in Duan Lingtian's strength.
"With Captain Chen's strength, no matter how weak he is, he'll still be able to fight Jian Qiuping to a draw. Jian Qiuping is dreaming if he wants to be our captain!"
"Captain Chen's strength is definitely not below Jian Qiuping's!"
…
Duan Lingtian's subordinates all looked at Duan Lingtian. They were blindly confident in Duan Lingtian.
"Replace me and take care of my men?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned when he heard the words of the centurion he had injured. When he looked at Jian Qiuping again, his eyes were cold.
"Jian Qiuping!
In the next moment, Duan Lingtian's body swayed. He seemed to have transformed into an eagle as he soared into the sky.
At the same time, he looked at Jian Qiuping coldly and shouted,
"I'll give you three breaths to prepare. You can use all the techniques you have at your disposal!
After three breaths, if I, Duan Lingtian, can't defeat you in one move, I, Duan Lingtian, will give up my position as captain of the Black Dragon Army! "
Duan Lingtian's voice was so cold that it seemed to cause the temperature in the surroundings to drop by a few degrees. Most of the Black Dragon Army soldiers in the Valley of the Ares God felt as though winter had arrived.
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.
