"Brother, that Duan Lingtian isn't at the fourth level of the Origin Core Stage like the rumors say. I can be sure that he was at the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage two months ago … Moreover, he has a grade seven spirit sword in his possession."
Recalling the scene of Duan Lingtian killing Savage Leopard that day, Shao Fei's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Just a single sword strike and Savage Leopard was killed.
"Now, he dares invite brother to ascend the life and death arena for a battle … Could it be that he has broken through?"
As he finished speaking, Shao Fei was slightly fearful.
"Broken through?"
Shao Ying was indifferent. "I'm only a step away from breaking through to the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage … In Phecda Peak, any sixth level Origin Core Stage outer court disciple wouldn't dare say that they can surely defeat me … Not to mention an outer court disciple that has just broken through to the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage."
"Even if he has broken through, I'm not afraid!"
The corners of Shao Ying's mouth curled into a sneer, and a piercingly cold light appeared in his eyes. "Today, I'll twist his head off on the life and death arena and give it to you to kick like a ball!"
"Thank you, brother."
Shao Fei's gaze abruptly shone, as Shao Ying's confidence caused him to be at ease.
"Little Fei, it's inconvenient for you to move, so don't go … Wait for brother to bring back that Duan Lingtian's head for you!
Shao Ying stood up and bid his farewells to Shao Fei, then his eyes emitted a trace of killing intent before turning around and leaving the gorge.
Meanwhile, Shao Fei glanced at his severed leg, and traces of cold lights flickered within his eyes. "Duan Lingtian, my crippling was all caused by you … Today, my brother will take revenge for me and kill you! Hahahaha … "
After muttering to himself, Shao Fei started laughing wildly.
It was as if he'd already seen the scene of Shao Ying bringing back Duan Lingtian's head.
The Phecda Peak's life and death arena was similar to the Megrez Peak's life and death arena, both were located halfway up the mountain.
After Duan Lingtian issued a challenge to Shao Ying in the Phecda Peak's Trade Hall, he was led here by a group of Phecda Peak disciples.
On the spacious life and death arena, Duan Lingtian silently stood there, and his eyes were calm and without light.
Compared to the calmness on the surface, tempestuous waves had arisen in Duan Ling Tian's heart …
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall Shi Lan's voice and smile.
He still remembered the first time he met Shi Lan. It was Shi Lan who helped him kill a ferocious beast. That passionate woman made Duan Lingtian have a good impression of her.
Later on, as a woman, Shi Lan was willing to use her life to pave a path for him, which shocked him greatly!
She was a heroine!
Duan Lingtian admired him.
But now, Shi Lan was dead …
"Shi Lan."
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath, his eyes slightly moist.
Shi Lan was in the prime of her life and could have had a great future.
But now, it was all ruined.
"Senior Brother Shao Ying has come!"
Outside the life and death arena, a Phecda Peak disciple with sharp eyes saw the young man walking over from the distance, and he cried out in surprise.
Instantly, the gazes of the Phecda Peak disciples surrounding the life and death arena descended onto Shao Ying.
Duan Lingtian noticed the commotion, and his gaze descended onto a young man in the distance that had an appearance slightly similar to Shao Fei. This young man's age was older than Shao Fei, and was around 25 years old.
Shao Ying!
Duan Lingtian calmly watched Shao Ying ascend the life and death arena, and a wisp of coldness appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"You're Duan Lingtian?"
Although Shao Ying had heard of Duan Lingtian before, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Duan Lingtian today, as he never imagined that Duan Lingtian would be so young.
Duan Lingtian's eyes stared fixedly at Shao Ying, as if he was deeply afraid that Shao Ying would vanish before his eyes.
"You ought to be a little over 20, right? I heard from my younger brother that you were a fifth level Origin Core Stage martial artist two months ago … Now, since you have the courage to battle me, I presume you've already broken through to the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage. "
Shao Ying looked at Duan Lingtian and slowly said, "Needless to say, your natural talent has surprised me. But today, you're bound to die here, and die at my hands! I, Shao Ying, am able to kill a monstrous genius in the Martial Dao like you in this lifetime, and I can be considered to have lived my life in vain. "
Although Shao Ying's voice wasn't loud, but practically all the Phecda Peak disciples present heard it clearly.
Instantly, the surroundings of the life and death arena were in an uproar.
"Isn't Duan Lingtian a fourth level Origin Core Stage martial artist? Why did Senior Brother Shao Ying say he's a fifth level Origin Core Stage martial artist? Moreover, Shao Ying even said that Duan Lingtian might have broken through to the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage! "
"How could this be possible!? How old is this Duan Lingtian? A young man that looks to be a little over 20 at most is able to cultivate to the fourth level of the Origin Core Stage, and it's already shocking. If it's the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage, or even the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage, how would others live? "
"Senior Brother Shao Ying wouldn't have made a mistake, right?"
…
No matter what, the crowd of Phecda Peak disciples were unwilling to believe that Duan Lingtian was a fifth level Origin Core Stage martial artist or a sixth level Origin Core Stage martial artist.
Behind the crowd, He Chun supported Hu Li, and looked from afar at Duan Lingtian who was on the life and death arena.
"Hu Li, is Duan Lingtian really a sixth level Origin Core Stage martial artist?"
He Chun was shocked when he heard Shao Ying, and asked in slight disbelief.
"Two months ago, the strength he displayed was at the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage. As for the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage … You saw it yourself when we were still in the gorge earlier, Duan Lingtian denied that he broke through to the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage. "
Hu Li shook his head, and the gaze he looked at Duan Lingtian with was filled with worry.
If Duan Lingtian was killed by Shao Ying today, then he would never forgive himself for his entire lifetime.
After all, if it wasn't for him telling Duan Lingtian about his encounter with Shi Lan, Duan Lingtian wouldn't go look for Shao Ying.
On the life and death arena.
Duan Lingtian paid no attention to Shao Ying's endless chatter, and with a shake of his hand, a grade seven spirit sword appeared out of thin air.
Now, there was only a single thought in his heart.
Kill Shao Ying and take revenge for Shi Lan and Hu Li!
"Looks like you're already impatient to court death."
The corners of Shao Ying's mouth curled into a smile when he saw Duan Lingtian's actions, and with a raise of his hand, a three foot long blade appeared in his hand as well. It was a grade seven spirit sword as well.
Whoosh!
Instantly, Origin Energy jumped about and raged on the grade seven spirit sword in Shao Ying's hand.
Above him, 102 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form and were ready to dash out at any moment …
Sixth level of the Origin Core Stage, grade seven spirit sword!
"Duan Lingtian!"
Shao Ying's face still had a smile mixed within, as if everything before him was within his control. "I've already promised my brother that after I kill you, I'll twist off your head and give it to him to kick like a ball!"
As he finished speaking, Shao Ying's tone was mixed with dense killing intent.
Whoosh!
Practically at the same time that Shao Ying spoke, Origin Energy jumped about on the grade seven spirit sword in Duan Lingtian's hand.
In an instant, 90 ancient mammoth silhouettes had condensed into form in the sky above him …
"He's really at the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage!"
"Unbelievable! A fifth level Origin Core Stage martial artist a little over 20 … Such natural talent is probably comparable to the most outstanding five great young masters of our Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's younger generation. "
"A figure with natural talent comparable to the five great young masters has finally appeared in our Seven Star Sword Sect's younger generation … But unfortunately, he's going to die here today!"
"Even if he utilizes a grade seven spirit sword, he's still inferior to Shao Ying by the strength of 12 ancient mammoths!"
"The gap is too great. There's no suspense in this battle … Duan Lingtian is dead for sure!"
…
Many Phecda Peak disciples couldn't help but sigh.
Duan Lingtian's natural talent in the Martial Dao caused them to be shocked.
However, as far as they were concerned, Duan Lingtian was bound to fall on the life and death arena today.
On the life and death arena.
The coldness that appeared on the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth grew even colder when he heard Shao Ying, and he spoke to Shao Ying for the first time. "Kick him like a ball? Are you sure that cripple can still kick a ball? "
Cripple?
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Shao Ying's calm expression completely changed.
His eyes transformed into a crimson red color. "Duan Lingtian, if it wasn't for you leaving him in the lurch that day, how could my younger brother be crippled? Today, I'll make you pay with your life for my younger brother's leg! "
"Then let's see if you have the ability. It just so happens that I want to take your and Shao Fei's lives to comfort Shi Lan's soul in heaven! "
Duan Lingtian's eyes went cold, and the flames of rage that were suppressed to the limit completely erupted!
"Shi Lan? You're talking about that little virgin? Haha … Her appearance isn't bad. I originally wanted to take advantage of her, but who would have thought that she's actually so unyielding, and would rather fall off a cliff than allow me to touch her. What a pity. “
Shao Ying suddenly started laughing, laughing wildly and wantonly.
Meanwhile, the crowd of Phecda Peak disciples came to a sudden understanding. So it turned out that there was such a deep enmity between Duan Lingtian and Shao Ying.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Hu Li's expression was tense, and he stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian with a worried expression.
"I originally thought that you ought to have broken through to the sixth level of the Origin Core Stage, but who would have thought that you actually haven't broken through … Truly boring! Since it's like this, I'll send you on your way now, and allow you to reunite with that little virgin! "
Shao Ying looked at Duan Lingtian with a voice filled with disdain, and the grade seven spirit sword in his hand skyrocketed with Origin Energy.
"Have you finished speaking?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Shao Ying with a calm expression, and his face seemed to be carefree, but the rage in his heart couldn't be any greater.
"Since you're so anxious to be on your way, then I'll send you on your way!"
Shao Ying sneered, then his figure flashed out, as if transforming into a gust of wind that flashed directly towards Duan Lingtian, and in the blink of an eye, he'd arrived nearby Duan Lingtian.
Whoosh!
The grade seven spirit sword in Shao Ying's hand swiftly flashed out, as if transforming into a bolt of lightning that went straight for Duan Lingtian's throat.
"Throat Sealing Sword!"
At the instant Shao Ying attacked, someone exclaimed in shock as they recognized the sword skill Shao Ying executed.
"So fast!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes squinted, and the grade seven spirit sword in his hand flashed out to intercept Shao Ying's attack.
Sword Drawing Arts!
A sword light that flashed by appeared gracefully.
In terms of speed.
It wasn't the slightest bit inferior to Shao Ying's Throat Sealing Sword.
Clang!
Shao Ying's sword was blocked by Duan Lingtian's sword.
"Hmm?"
Shao Ying never imagined that Duan Lingtian would be able to block his sword, and a wisp of astonishment appeared on his face. "I never imagined that your sword skill would actually be so extraordinary … You only used the strength of 90 ancient mammoths to execute it, yet the speed of your sword is comparable to my Throat Sealing Sword executed with the strength of 102 ancient mammoths!"
[The following content is a digression and is free of charge. Brothers and sisters that are puzzled about Duan Lingtian's current cultivation have a look, and those that aren't can directly move on to the next chapter.]
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's true cultivation was at the fourth level of the Origin Core Stage, but because he'd once revealed a strength comparable to the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage in the primeval forest, he was mistaken by Hu Li and Shao Fei to be at the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage.
Before the battle between him and Shao Ying, besides Hu Li, Shao Fei, and Shao Ying, the reason the other outer court disciples thought that Duan Lingtian was at the fourth level of the Origin Core Stage was because Duan Lingtian had held back when he killed Huo Xin and Yuan Wu, and only revealed a strength similar to an ordinary fourth level Origin Core Stage martial artist.
