When the golden sword qi finally dissipated, the disciples from the Heavenly Pool Palace shook their heads. They thought Duan Lingtian had died in Liu Jian's hands.
Even Lei Jun and the elder from the Sword Trial Pavilion shared the same thought.
"Little Junior Brother!"
Hong Fei's expression changed drastically.
Huan 'er was the only one who remained unfazed. Her expression was as calm as ever, and she did not seem flustered at all.
After all, no one knew Duan Lingtian better than Huan 'er.
In Huan 'er's opinion, based on Liu Jian's strength, it was impossible for him to be a match for her brother, Ling Tian.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, she was not the slightest bit worried.
For this reason, Huan 'er was not surprised when the golden sword qi finally dissipated and revealed a purple figure.
However, just because Huan 'er was not surprised, it did not mean the others were not surprised as well.
"Duan Lingtian?"
"H-how's this possible?!"
…
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian appeared unscathed. At the same time, Liu Jian's corpse fell from the sky and crashed heavily on the Prodigy Arena, turning into a pile of minced meat.
Liu Jian was a prodigious disciple between the ages of 600 and 700. He was an Eight Trigrams Celestial Lord who had comprehended six profundities from the law of metal to the mastery stage.
Even so, he was killed by a prodigious disciple between the ages of 200 and 300.
"Duan Lingtian …" Lei Jun's eyes widened.
A hint of disbelief could be seen in the depths of his eyes. He did not expect Duan Lingtian would be able to survive Liu Jian's attack.
However, not only did Duan Ling Tian survive Liu Jian's attack, but he even managed to kill Liu Jian. He found it hard to believe.
"What's going on? How did Senior Brother Liu Jian die? "
"Did Duan Lingtian use a Celestial Talisman to kill Senior Brother Liu Jian?"
"The Prodigy Arena doesn't exist? The Prodigy Arena isn't just a decoration. It's impossible to use a Celestial Talisman there. "
…
The disciples of the Heavenly Pool Palace were stunned for a moment before they regained their senses. When they regained their senses, they looked at Duan Lingtian in a different light.
No one would have thought that Liu Jian would die in the hands of Duan Lingtian.
This prodigious disciple between the ages of 200 and 300 had just become a prodigious disciple today.
However, as soon as he became a genius disciple, he killed Liu Jian.
It was not hard to imagine how this matter would shake the entire Heavenly Pool Palace. After all, in the history of the Heavenly Pool Palace, similar incidents had happened before, but they were rare.
"This …"
The Sword Trial Hall Elder was stunned. He thought that Duan Lingtian had died at Liu Jian's hands, but he didn't expect that not only did Duan Lingtian survive, he even killed Liu Jian.
"How did he do it?"
At this moment, even the elders of the Sword Trial Pavilion could not help but feel puzzled. They could not understand how Duan Lingtian could kill Liu Jian.
Duan Lingtian was more than 300 years younger than Liu Jian.
However, even though they were both prodigious disciples, Duan Ling Tian still managed to kill Liu Jian despite the age gap between them.
Liu Jian did not even have the chance to admit defeat. This was enough to show that Duan Lingtian was not as simple as it seemed.
"This … This is impossible!"
"How's this possible?!"
Huang Lunan, who was defeated by Duan Lingtian and kicked out of the ranks of the prodigious disciples by Duan Lingtian, thought his senior brother, Liu Jian, would be able to avenge him by killing Duan Lingtian. However, not only did his senior brother fail to avenge him, but he was also killed by Duan Lingtian.
Huang Lunan found it hard to believe. He even thought he was dreaming.
However, everything around him seemed to be telling him that he was not dreaming.
"Little Junior Brother … Isn't this a little too much?"
Hong Fei, who thought Duan Lingtian had been killed by Liu Jian, was shocked when he saw Duan Lingtian was not killed by Liu Jian. Instead, Liu Jian managed to kill Liu Jian.
"Haha … Little Junior Brother, I didn't expect you to be so strong. It seems like I've underestimated you. "
Huan 'er teleported to Duan Lingtian's side and gently held Duan Lingtian's arm. At the same time, Hong Fei flew toward Duan Lingtian as he laughed heartily.
Liu Jian had been his nemesis for many years. Neither of them could do anything to the other.
Naturally, Hong Fei was happy to see Liu Jian killed by his Little Junior Brother. After all, he hated Liu Jian from the bottom of his heart.
"Hmph!"
Lei Jun's eyes turned cold when he saw Huan 'er walking over to Duan Ling Tian's side and holding his hand as though they were lovers.
With a cold snort, he left.
After Lei Jun left, Huang Lu Nan left as well since he felt he would only embarrass himself if he continued to stay.
However, before he left, he sent a message to Huang Lu Nan and Liu Jian's teacher about Liu Jian's death.
Huang Lu Nan and Liu Jian's teacher was a titled Celestial Emperor in the Heavenly Pool Palace called Long Wu. His name was Gu Chang Jiang.
"Duan Lingtian, I didn't expect you to be so strong. Liu Jian's strength is extraordinary, but you still managed to kill him."
The Sword Trial Pavilion elder looked at Duan Lingtian and said with a sigh.
"I was lucky."
Duan Lingtian smiled modestly.
Lucky?
Naturally, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder and the other Heavenly Pool Palace disciples did not believe Duan Lingtian's words.
"Elder, can I challenge the top prodigious disciple in my age group now?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at the Sword Trial Pavilion elder.
"Of course."
The Sword Trial Pavilion elder nodded. "When I return, inform me through his Soul Pearl that you want to challenge him. I'll inform you once he's decided on a time.
He won't be able to refuse the challenge. If he doesn't accept the challenge within three months, you'll be able to climb to the top of your age group. "
The Sword Trial Pavilion elder said.
"Thank you, elder."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"In that case, I'll take my leave first …"
After bidding farewell to Duan Lingtian, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder nodded at Huan 'er with a faint smile on his face.
At this moment, a thunderous voice rang from afar, causing everyone's eardrums to tremble.
"Who killed my disciple?"
His voice was loud and clear like thunder, causing Duan Ling Tian's expression to turn slightly solemn.
Most importantly, Duan Lingtian was familiar with the person's name.
Gu Chang Jiang was one of the nine titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace. His title was Martial Dragon, and people called him the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor.
"Gu Chang Jiang came here personally?"
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow. He did not expect Gu Chang Jiang would come here personally for Liu Jian's death.
"Gu Chang Jiang?!"
Upon hearing the voice, Hong Fei immediately sent a message to Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor, without any hesitation.
In the Heavenly Pool Palace, titled Celestial Emperors were high and mighty.
If Gu Chang Jiang, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor, had killed Hong Fei's junior brother in a fit of rage, the Heavenly Pool Palace would not kill him. At most, they would punish him.
For this reason, Hong Fei did not hesitate to inform Xu Lang, Duan Lingtian's teacher.
Swoosh!
Gu Chang Jiang was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man dressed in a loose green robe. His face was as fair as jade.
When his gaze fell on the corpse on the Prodigy's Arena, his face suddenly darkened.
Liu Jian was not the most outstanding disciple under his tutelage.
However, Liu Jian was good with words. Therefore, Gu Chang Jiang was very satisfied with his disciple. He was furious when he learned that Liu Jian had been killed.
"Who's Duan Lingtian?"
Gu Chang Jiang hovered in the air as he swept his gaze across the crowd before his eyes finally landed on Duan Lingtian.
After all, Duan Lingtian was too eye-catching.
Not only was his appearance outstanding, but even Huan 'er, who was holding his hand and wearing a veil, was also eye-catching.
"You killed my disciple?"
Gu Chang Jiang asked in a deep voice as he looked at Duan Lingtian. A powerful aura surged out of Gu Chang Jiang's body and pressed down on Duan Lingtian.
"If you're talking about Liu Jian, I had a life-or-death battle with him. Even if he's dead, it can only be attributed to his lack of skill."
Duan Lingtian's expression remained unchanged in the face of Gu Chang Jiang's overbearing aura. It was as though he was not afraid at all.
In fact, he was not afraid of Gu Chang Jiang's aura at all.
After all, his body had been tempered by the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Realms of Gods. How could a mere titled Celestial Emperor's aura affect him?
"Lord Gu Chang Jiang."
At this moment, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder stepped forward and said to Gu Chang Jiang, "The battle between Duan Lingtian and Liu Jian was a life-or-death battle that I presided over.
"Did I say anything to you?"
Gu Chang Jiang glanced at the Sword Trial Pavilion elder indifferently before he raised his hand. A powerful energy surged out of his hand and slammed into the Sword Trial Pavilion elder, sending him flying.
Blargh!
As he was sent flying, the elder spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned extremely pale.
Without any hesitation, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder tore a Communication Celestial Talisman to notify Lei Ying, the Pavilion Master of the Sword Trial Pavilion.
Gu Chang Jiang, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor, was being unreasonable.
He could only wait for the Pavilion Master of the Sword Trial Pavilion, who was also a titled Celestial Emperor like Gu Chang Jiang, to arrive.
"Is Lord Gu Chang Jiang, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor, trying to avenge his disciple?"
"I don't think so. Even if it's not difficult for him to kill Duan Lingtian, I don't think he dares to do so, right? "
"I agree. If he does that, his reputation will be tarnished. At that time, everyone will know he's not a good person."
…
The disciples of the Heavenly Pool Palace who were watching felt their hearts in their mouths when they saw Gu Chang Jiang, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor, charging toward them.
