"Duan Lingtian, you …"
The inner court disciple hadn't finished speaking when his pupils abruptly constricted, and his gaze descended behind Duan Lingtian, as if he'd seen something that caused him to be terrified.
Subsequently, he didn't wait for Duan Lingtian to react and hurriedly walked away.
It was as if staying by Duan Lingtian's side for a moment longer would cause him to suffer some sort of calamity.
The inner court disciple's actions caused Duan Lingtian to be stunned, and then he turned around.
When his gaze moved to the distance, he noticed two people were ascending the peak of Dubhe Peak side by side …
"Liu Shi Ge … I really didn't waste any effort!"
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a cold smile.
The people that appeared before him now were precisely Liu Shi Ge and Fan Jian.
Meanwhile, Liu Shi Ge and Fan Jian noticed Duan Lingtian as well, and after they approached, Liu Shi Ge's eyes emitted piercingly cold lights as he said with a cold and indifferent voice, "Duan Lingtian!"
In this past year, he hadn't heard any news related to Duan Lingtian, and knew that Duan Lingtian was still outside and hadn't returned to the Seven Star Sword Sect.
The more it was like this, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.
He was worried that Duan Lingtian had stayed outside for too long, and when he returned, Duan Lingtian's cultivation would have far surpassed his …
After all, Duan Lingtian's natural talent was there for all to see. After another two or three years, Duan Lingtian would have matured, and it would be impossible for him to be a match for Duan Lingtian.
Now, when he saw Duan Lingtian had returned, at the same time that he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, killing intent towards Duan Lingtian arose once more …
As far as he was concerned.
Only by killing Duan Lingtian would he be able to have no worries.
"Liu Shi Ge!"
When faced with Liu Shi Ge's provocation, Duan Lingtian wasn't outdone, and his eyes emitted a frightening cold light.
He'd ascended the peak of Dubhe Peak today precisely for the sake of looking for Liu Shi Ge …
Now, Liu Shi Ge had walked right into his trap and allowed him to save some effort.
"Humph! Duan Lingtian, you were seriously injured and knocked unconscious by my Big Brother Liu last time. How dare you be so arrogant in front of my Big Brother Liu today? "
Fan Jian sneered, pretending to be someone else.
"Fan Jian."
Duan Lingtian calmly swept a glance at Fan Jian, a mischievous smile dancing in his eyes. "Do you think that with this Liu Shi Ge around, I can't do anything to you?"
"You!"
Fan Jian's expression changed slightly. He couldn't help but take two steps back, afraid that Duan Lingtian would suddenly attack him.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian was about to make fun of Fan Jian.
His sensitive psychic power suddenly trembled.
He discovered that Liu Shi Ge had once again launched a sneak attack on him. Liu Shi Ge's entire person seemed to have transformed into a gust of wind, sweeping over!
Duan Lingtian's gaze turned slightly cold. His face sank, and his legs trembled as he barely dodged Liu Shi Ge's palm …
Whoosh!
Liu Shi Ge's palm practically brushed past Duan Lingtian's clothes as it flashed past.
"Duan Lingtian, your natural talent is indeed not bad. It's only been a year, yet you've actually already broken through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage."
A wisp of a strange smile appeared on the corners of Liu Shi Ge's mouth as he gazed at the 120 ancient mammoth silhouettes that appeared above Duan Lingtian.
His sneak attack from before was only for the sake of probing Duan Lingtian!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Duan Lingtian to dodge.
"Do you think everyone is like you, not improving in the slightest after a year has passed?"
Duan Lingtian said in disdain.
Ninth level of the Origin Core Stage!
The commotion caused by the conflict between Duan Lingtian and Liu Shi Ge was great.
In next to no time, the crowd of Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciples near the Trade Hall at the peak of Dubhe Peak all gathered around to watch the show.
"It's that Duan Lingtian!"
"This Duan Lingtian has vanished without a trace for a year, and he's finally come out."
"This Duan Lingtian has actually broken through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage … His natural talent is truly monstrous!"
"Yeah, with such natural talent, it wouldn't be difficult for him to surpass Senior Brother Liu Shi Ge in another year or two … Looks like Senior Brother Liu Shi Ge has really brought great trouble upon himself."
…
The crowd of inner court disciples whispered in discussion.
As far as they were concerned.
So long as Duan Lingtian didn't ascend the life and death arena and properly cultivated for another year or two, at that time, he would absolutely be able to easily crush Liu Shi Ge …
Now, he was still slightly lacking.
When the inner court disciples' words entered into Liu Shi Ge's ears, it caused Liu Shi Ge's face to sink, and his eyes had cold lights that were awe-inspiring.
What he was most worried about was this.
"Duan Lingtian."
Liu Shi Ge's ghastly gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian, and he said in a low voice, "I've long since heard that your ability to defeat someone stronger than you is not bad … Now that you've broken through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage, I presume you wouldn't even be afraid of a first level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist, right?"
When he heard Liu Shi Ge, Duan Lingtian said indifferently, "A first level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist … I don't know about others, but I'm naturally not afraid of you, Liu Shi Ge!"
"Good!"
Liu Shi Ge started laughing, laughing arrogantly and willfully. "Since it's like this, then do you, Duan Lingtian, dare to ascend the life and death arena and fight to the death with me, Liu Shi Ge?"
"Life and death arena?"
As soon as Liu Shi Ge said this, the surrounding crowd of inner court disciples burst into an uproar.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised. "Why do I have to ascend the life and death arena with you?"
Liu Shi Ge frowned, then took a step forward and provoked coldly. "What? You, Duan Lingtian, the renowned genius in the Martial Dao of our Seven Star Sword Sect, the genius in the Martial Dao that's able to defeat someone stronger than you … Now that you've broken through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage, you still don't dare ascend the life and death arena to battle me, a first level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist?"
"Earlier, who was it that said he wasn't afraid of me, a first level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist? What? Now that you heard I'm inviting you to ascend the life and death arena to battle, you're afraid? "
As he looked at Duan Lingtian whose expression became even more unsightly, the mocking smile on the corners of Liu Shi Ge's mouth grew even wider. "Looks like some people are only formidable with their mouths … At the critical moment, they're instead terrified."
"Big Brother Liu, besides being formidable with his mouth, what else is formidable about this Duan Lingtian? What rare genius in the Martial Dao of the Seven Star Sword Sect? As far as I'm concerned, he's utterly trash that isn't worth mentioning! "
Fan Jian cooperated with Liu Shi Ge in a timely manner and trampled on Duan Lingtian's dignity.
"Fan Jian!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes seemed as if they could emit flames as he looked at Fan Jian and said in a cold voice, "You said I'm only formidable with my mouth? Alright … I, Duan Lingtian, the trash in your eyes, invite you to ascend the life and death arena to battle! Do you dare? "
Duan Lingtian's words caused the inner court disciples present to look at Fan Jian with strange expressions.
Yeah.
You, Fan Jian, said that Duan Lingtian is only formidable with his mouth, but is incapable in other aspects and is trash.
Now, Duan Lingtian invites you to ascend the life and death arena to battle …
Do you dare?!
Duan Lingtian's words caused Fan Jian to be stunned.
Not to mention that Duan Lingtian had already broken through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage now, even if it was Duan Lingtian who hadn't broken through a year ago, Fan Jian knew that he wasn't a match for Duan Lingtian.
How could he dare accept Duan Lingtian's life and death arena agreement?
"What? You don't dare?"
The gaze Duan Lingtian looked at Fan Jian had an additional sense of disdain and contempt. "You, Fan Jian, keep saying that besides having a formidable mouth, I'm incapable in other aspects, and even said that I, Duan Lingtian, am trash! Now, you don't even dare accept the life and death arena agreement of this trash … Are you telling everyone present that you, Fan Jian, are inferior to even trash? "
You, Fan Jian, are inferior to even trash!
When Duan Lingtian's words entered into Fan Jian's ears, it caused Fan Jian's face to flush red, and he gnashed his teeth. He wished for nothing more than to directly accept Duan Lingtian's life and death arena agreement and ascend the life and death arena to battle Duan Lingtian!
In the end, his reason still prevailed over his impulse.
When he noticed the gazes of the surrounding crowd of inner court disciples that became stranger and stranger, Fan Jian sneered. "Duan Lingtian, don't change the topic … Today, it was Big Brother Liu who first invited you to ascend the life and death arena to battle. If you dare accept Big Brother Liu's life and death arena agreement, then so what if I, Fan Jian, accept your life and death arena agreement? "
As expected, Fan Jian's words drew a wave of disdain from the crowd.
"Fan Jian is too shameless! He clearly knows that it's impossible for Duan Lingtian to be a match for Senior Brother Liu Shi Ge, yet he's still instigating Duan Lingtian to accept Senior Brother Liu Shi Ge's life and death arena agreement. "
"Exactly, once Duan Lingtian agrees to Senior Brother Liu Shi Ge's life and death arena agreement, the one that dies will surely be Duan Lingtian. Even if he agrees to Duan Lingtian's life and death arena agreement, but at that time, it would be impossible for Duan Lingtian to survive. In the end, he utterly doesn't have to ascend the life and death arena to battle Duan Lingtian. "
"If I was Duan Lingtian, I'd request to ascend the life and death arena to battle Fan Jian before battling Liu Shi Ge … Let's see if Fan Jian dares!"
…
The crowd of Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciples discussed animatedly.
"What? Duan Lingtian, weren't you extremely arrogant and conceited earlier? You don't dare? "
Fan Jian disregarded the discussions in the surroundings and used a mocking gaze to stare at Duan Lingtian as he provoked.
"Fan Jian."
Duan Lingtian sneered. "I can agree to your request … But I heard an inner court Senior Brother's suggestion earlier, and it's not bad. So long as you agree to my life and death arena agreement, I can agree to Liu Shi Ge's life and death arena agreement … But I, Duan Lingtian, want to ascend the life and death arena to battle you, Fan Jian! "
"After our battle, I'll ascend the life and death arena to battle Liu Shi Ge."
Duan Lingtian glanced deeply at Fan Jian.
"You!"
Fan Jian's face sank as he glared at the inner court disciple that gave this suggestion, then his gaze once again descended onto Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, don't forget, it's Big Brother Liu that invited you to ascend the life and death arena to battle today … As they say, first come first serve. I, Fan Jian, won't compete with Big Brother Liu."
"Haha …"
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but laugh loudly. "Fan Jian, I, Duan Lingtian, have seen many shameless people in my entire life, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you! Before you, they aren't even worthy to carry your shoes. "
Duan Lingtian's words that seemed to be praise instead caused Fan Jian to feel it to be incomparably ear piercing when it entered Fan Jian's ears.
The surrounding crowd of inner court disciples couldn't help but emit a wave of laughter.
They deeply agreed with what Duan Lingtian said now.
"If you don't dare, then you don't dare! You're still speaking in such a dignified manner … Do you, Fan Jian, really think that the Senior Brothers present are unable to discern your cowardice and weakness? Laughable! "
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a mocking smile, and his words were sharp.
"Duan Lingtian, looks like you don't dare accept Big Brother Liu's life and death arena agreement …"
