"Noisy!"
Duan Lingtian's expression turned cold when he heard He Tian Chun's words. His Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted by the law of space's Space Elemental Profundity surged out of his body.
Swoosh!
In the next moment, Duan Lingtian vanished from his spot and reappeared behind He Tian Chun.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Duan Lingtian drew his bow with both hands as a powerful energy surged out of his hands and shrouded He Tian Chun's body. He Tian Chun did not even have time to react.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
…
In just a blink of an eye, He Tian Chun's body was shredded into pieces by Duan Ling Tian's hands. Only a Spatial Ring and a defensive Celestial Weapon were left in the void.
The elders of the He Clan only regained their senses when they saw He Tian Chun's death. Their expressions changed drastically.
The Clan Leader of the He Clan, the strongest person in the clan, had died just like that?
Moreover, he was killed by Duan Lingtian, the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion?
"H-how's this possible?!"
When the group of He Clan elders looked at Duan Ling Tian once more, besides shock and disbelief, their eyes were mixed with waves of extreme terror.
Duan Lingtian was no stranger to them.
In fact, Duan Lingtian had only become famous in the Southern Heaven Territory 200 years ago. At that time, he was only a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who was invincible in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
However, in just 200 years, Duan Lingtian had become so strong that he could easily kill He Tian Chun, the Clan Leader of the He Clan.
Although He Tian Chun, the Clan Leader of the He Clan, was not a titled Celestial Lord, his strength was close to that of a titled Celestial Lord. However, he was still killed by the purple-clad young man in just a blink of an eye.
"He's so strong."
Xiang Qing Yu, the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord, looked at Duan Lingtian warily. Initially, he was displeased with the purple-clad young man because of He Tian Chun's words. However, at this moment, he did not dare to utter a single word.
After all, it was obvious the purple-clad young man was not any weaker than him.
Most importantly, there were two Celestial Emperors standing next to the purple-clad young man. Although the two Celestial Emperors had said they would not make a move, who knew if they would make a move or not?
Even if the Celestial Emperors went back on their words, it would not affect their reputations.
"Duan Lingtian …"
"This name … It's a name …"
At the same time, Xiang Qingyu only felt that the name Duan Ling Tian was a little familiar. It was as though he had heard of it somewhere before. However, due to the fact that it was a distant memory, he could not recall it for a while.
"Lord Southern Heaven Celestial Lord."
Just as the group of He Clan elders looked at Xiang Qingyu, as if they were looking for him to make the decision for He Tianchun, Xiang Qingyu completely ignored them and left as if he was escaping. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even look back.
At this moment, the elders of the He Clan could tell even the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord, the ruler of the Southern Heaven Territory, did not dare to make a move on Duan Lingtian.
Immediately, their expressions changed completely. Their eyes were filled with despair.
They were all worried that after Duan Ling Tian killed their He Clan's Patriarch, he would annihilate their He Clan as well.
"Senior, since this matter is over, I'll leave now."
Duan Lingtian looked at the Pavilion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion's Imperial Tutor Pavilion who was still in a daze. Then, he left the He Clan's estate with Huan 'er and Zhuge Feng.
"Senior, if I have time in the future, I'll visit you in the Profound Nether Mansion."
Duan Lingtian's voice rang in the air, waking the old man from his daze.
"Father … is avenged just like that?"
The old man felt as though he was dreaming when he regained his senses. An expression of disbelief could still be seen on his face.
After a while, he finally accepted the truth.
"How surprising! It has only been a few decades, but that little fellow is already strong enough to kill He Tian Chun …" The old man muttered to himself.
Although He Tian Chun had been caught off guard when Duan Ling Tian killed He Tian Chun, it was clear Duan Ling Tian was not any weaker than a titled Celestial Lord.
Little did the old man know that Duan Lingtian was only at the beginning.
Even when Duan Lingtian attacked earlier, he had only used all of his profundities from the law of space. He still had many other tricks up his sleeve.
Putting aside the two Ning Dragons in his Little World, just the power given to him by the Five Divine Elements was enough to make him as strong as an ordinary Celestial Emperor. Most titled Celestial Lords were no match for him at all.
Naturally, it could only be said that no titled Celestial Lords were a match for him.
After all, the Devata Realms were huge, and the 81 Devata Realms were even bigger. There were many titled Celestial Lords who had encountered fortuitous encounters and were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. It was not impossible for them to defeat Duan Lingtian.
…
"Brother Ling Tian, where are we going next?"
Huan 'er asked Duan Lingtian after they left the He Clan's estate.
"We're going to the Blood Skull Gang's headquarters."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed coldly as he said, "However, we'll have to look for the Blood Skull Gang's headquarters first."
Previously, the assassins from the Blood Skull Gang had caused him a lot of trouble.
There were a few times when he was almost killed by the assassins from the Blood Skull Gang.
Although Duan Lingtian intended to look for the Blood Skull Gang's headquarters, he was faced with a problem. After all, assassin organizations were cunning and had more than one place to hide. Even if they had their headquarters, they would often change locations.
"It seems like I have no choice but to look for Xiang Qingyu, the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord."
Xiang Qingyu, the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord, did not expect the four people he had met earlier would come looking for him as soon as he returned to his cultivation place.
"I want the location of the Blood Skull Gang's headquarters."
Duan Lingtian did not beat around the bush.
Xiang Qingyu glanced at Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun who were standing next to Duan Lingtian, and when he thought about Duan Lingtian's strength, he reluctantly told Duan Lingtian the location of the Blood Skull Gang's headquarters.
He wanted to say that he did not know the location.
However, as the ruler of the Southern Heaven Territory, if he did not even know where the headquarters of an assassin organization was located, he would not be able to get away with it.
"Don't tell me Duan Ling Tian has a grudge with the Blood Skull Gang?"
The Southern Heaven Celestial Lord thought to himself after Duan Lingtian and the others left.
…
In the Blood Skull Gang's headquarters.
Boom!
Rumble!!
…
As soon as Duan Ling Tian made his move, all the buildings in the Blood Skull Gang's headquarters were destroyed by his Space Energy. In just a blink of an eye, the buildings were reduced to rubble. Blood flowed like a river in the rubble. Many of the weaker Blood Skull Gang's staff and assassins had died in the rubble.
Naturally, many of them managed to escape in time.
"Who are you? Why did you destroy the Blood Skull Gang's headquarters? " “
Soon after, a middle-aged man dressed in a blood-red long robe walked forward while surrounded by a group of people. His expression was grave as he looked at Duan Ling Tian who was standing at the front with the Space Energy surging around his body.
At this moment, everyone, including the middle-aged man, was in a sorry state.
However, there was no anger in their eyes when they looked at Duan Lingtian. Instead, there was only a hint of fear in their eyes.
The person standing in front of them was too powerful.
"Duan Lingtian."
Duan Lingtian looked at the group of people in front of him calmly as he spoke.
"Duan Lingtian?"
Initially, the group of people from the Blood Skull Gang did not realize what was going on until an old man standing behind the red-clad middle-aged man spoke in a trembling voice. Only then did they recall that many years ago, the Blood Skull Gang had a mission to kill Duan Ling Tian.
"You … You're Duan Lingtian?"
The red-clad middle-aged man looked at Duan Lingtian in disbelief.
Although he had heard about Duan Lingtian's achievements, he did not expect Duan Lingtian's strength to reach such a level in such a short time.
At the very least, he was certain he was no match for Duan Lingtian.
"Sir, the mission against you has been canceled. Moreover, it's not that the Blood Skull Gang was targeting you, it was someone else who issued the mission against you."
The red-clad middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
"Do you think I can't find you just because you're hiding behind me?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian ignored the red-clad middle-aged man. His eyes were trained on the group of people behind the red-clad middle-aged man. Finally, his gaze landed on an old man.
This old man was none other than Leng Ye, an assassin from the Blood Skull Gang.
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian teleported and disappeared from his original spot. When he reappeared, he was already standing next to Leng Ye. He carried Leng Ye with one hand and returned to his original spot. The entire process was as simple as an eagle catching a chick.
"The last time we met … I think it was at Yan Mountain Mansion in the Jade Emperor Heaven's Ping Tian Territory, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a smile as he looked at Leng Ye.
At that time, if it were not for the protection of Ling Jueyun's Celestial Talisman, he would have died in the hands of this assassin from the Blood Skull Gang.
At this moment, Leng Ye was scared out of his wits. His face was pale.
Not even in his wildest dreams did he expect the young man whom he could easily kill in the past would have grown to such an extent.
More than 100 years ago, when Duan Lingtian had made a name for himself in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Territory, Leng Ye knew he would never be a match for Duan Lingtian. Therefore, he had buried his dissatisfaction with Duan Lingtian deep in his heart.
Today, when he saw Duan Lingtian again, he discovered that Duan Lingtian's strength was not weak at all.
It was likely that Duan Lingtian was stronger than the Blood Skull Gang's leader.
Otherwise, the Chief would have made a move already.
"Duan Lingtian, I … I was only carrying out my mission," Leng Ye said bitterly.
"There's no enmity between us. If it wasn't for the mission, why would I kill you?"
"Humph!"
