Duan Lingtian's attack was so sudden that the old man did not have time to react.
He thought that he could gain the initiative by striking first and kill Duan Lingtian as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
However, he did not expect that the moment he approached Duan Lingtian, a terrifying spatial storm suddenly appeared in the entire area, making the entire area seem like a personal space that Duan Lingtian completely dominated.
As for his attack, it was instantly annihilated in that space.
Then, before he could react and stop, he had already entered this space.
The next moment, he found that his body was no longer under his control.
Then, he released his divine sense and watched his body shatter into pieces. Then, when he reached his soul, his divine sense was gradually annihilated as well ….
Until the moment before his death, he did not know what had happened.
"You're pretty strong, but it's a pity that you met me."
After killing the old man, Duan Lingtian put away his divine weapon and shook his head. "If it were any of the other ten-star students of the Hidden Fog Academy, even the strongest five, Hong Jun, and the others, they would have died without a doubt."
The old man's strength was completely incomparable to the people he had killed before.
In fact, even if he wanted to kill the old man without using any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, it would be difficult for him to use only the Triple Fused Profundity from the law of space. Unless he used two or more Triple Fused Profundities or fused all four Profundities!
However, these were his trump cards.
In addition, if he attacked like that, it would give his opponent a chance to send out a message and expose his strength.
Now that he had used the Dao of Control of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, even if someone was watching in the dark, it would be difficult for them to guess that he had used the Dao of Control. They would think that he had some special means. In addition, the sudden appearance of the Dao of Control gave his opponent no chance to send out a message.
After all, his opponent would have died if he had approached.
"It's a pity that he also used a self-destructing Spatial Ring. Otherwise, with his strength, there would be a lot of good things in his Spatial Ring."
Duan Lingtian sighed and continued to 'patrol' the surroundings.
In the next two days, he found three more people sneaking around. Their auras were no different from the 14 people he had killed before, including the old man he had killed two days ago. "They should be together … If I'm not mistaken, they must be from the Chong family."
Only the Chong Family would be able to send so many men to kill him.
Even if the other God King level family clans in Skywind City sent people to deal with him, it was impossible for them to send such a large force!
"The Chong Family should have sent these 17 people."
After wandering around for another two days, Duan Lingtian confirmed that no one else would come. He left the area and continued his journey of killing demonic beasts.
Even if he didn't use his full strength, killing the demonic beasts in this training ground was still as easy as chopping vegetables. Up until now, no demonic beast had been able to force him to use a second sword strike!
The points in his Points Token were also increasing at an exaggerated rate.
"The difference in strength is too great … Even if it's Hong Jun, if I want to kill him, I only need to use the strength I showed him before. Coupled with the divine weapon, I only need to use one or two sword strikes."
In the training ground, the demonic beasts Duan Lingtian could kill with a single sword strike weren't weak.
Among them, there were some demonic beasts that even Hong Jun and the other four Duan Lingtian, who were recognized as the strongest in the Hidden Fog Academy before entering, would find it difficult to deal with. But in front of Duan Lingtian, they weren't even worth mentioning.
These demonic beasts were arranged by the Hidden Fog Sect in advance.
At that time, Duan Lingtian hadn't entered the Hidden Fog Academy yet.
The demonic beasts arranged by the Hidden Fog Sect were arranged according to the strength of the Hidden Fog Academy's 10-star students. Because of this, they only arranged demonic beasts that could threaten Hong Jun and the other four. They didn't arrange any demonic beasts that could threaten Duan Lingtian.
In this case, Duan Lingtian was like a fish in water.
…
Skywind City.
Zhong Family's mansion.
Although it was broad daylight, the Zhong Family's meeting hall was still full of people.
"Third Brother, why did you call us here in such a hurry? Did something happen?"
Zhong Si had just returned from the restaurant he was in charge of. He looked at Zhong San who was sitting on the other side of the main seat and asked with a dignified expression, "Today is the day of the Hidden Fog Academy's 10-star students' trial. Could it be that something happened to those men of sacrifice?"
The Zhong Family's upper echelons also looked at Zhong San at this time. Their eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"They were all wiped out."
Finally, Zhong San spoke. As soon as he spoke, it was like an earth-shattering earthquake. Everyone, including Zhong Si, was shocked into silence. Their faces were dull and they couldn't recover for a long time.
They were all wiped out?
Their Zhong Family had sent out 17 men of sacrifice this time.
One of the men of sacrifice was one of the three leaders of the men of sacrifice trained by their Zhong Family. His strength was even close to that of Zhong Si, the fourth master of the Zhong Family.
"Did the Hidden Fog Academy make a move?"
Zhong Si was the first to recover and asked with a dignified expression.
"No." Zhong San shook his head.
When the others looked over again, Zhong San shook his head and said, "Elder Zhu Chun sent a message saying that the Dean of the Hidden Fog Academy has taken this 10-star student trial as a test for Duan Lingtian … If Duan Lingtian can pass without relying on external forces, he will make an exception and recommend Duan Lingtian to enter the Hidden Fog Sect ahead of time and become a core disciple!"
Core disciple!
As soon as Zhong San said this, the entire audience went into an uproar. "Core disciple!?"
"That Duan Lingtian, how could he have such potential?"
"How could he?!"
…
Ever since the Hidden Fog Sect was established, there had never been more than a hundred core disciples.
The core disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect were all under 10,000 years old. Once they were over 10,000 years old, they would be removed from the list of core disciples.
As long as these people stayed in the Hidden Fog Sect, they could directly become a core elder of the Hidden Fog Sect. They could also choose to join the God Emperor level influence that the Hidden Fog Sect was attached to.
However, their status in that God Emperor level influence was definitely inferior to the Hidden Fog Sect. Even so, they could obtain better cultivation resources and environments.
After all, there was a great disparity between a God Emperor level influence and a God Emperor level influence.
Because of this, it could be seen just how high the status of a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect was … once one became a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, that was the same as obtaining a pass to enter a God Emperor level influence. Even if one didn't have a high status after entering a God Emperor level influence, it was still a God Emperor level influence!
For someone from a God Emperor level influence, even if they were an ordinary Elder with a low status, a God Emperor level influence still wouldn't dare to move against them, much less a God King level family like their Zhong Family!
"He must have borrowed some external strength … with just his own strength, he wants to exterminate the 17 death warriors of our Zhong Family led by Blood Two? That's impossible! "
Zhong San said with absolute certainty, his tone resolute and decisive.
"I hope so."
Zhong San nodded. Although his complexion eased, it was still dignified. "But, even if he didn't do it himself, that means someone is helping him. It looks like wanting to kill this Duan Lingtian won't be easy. "
"Helping him? Who's helping him? "
Zhong Si frowned.
Zhong San's gaze deepened as he heard this and he said in a deep voice, "I heard from Zhu Chun that Hou Qingning seems to have the intention of befriending him … Today, before the start of the Hidden Fog Academy's 10-star trial, the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect's Fifth Elder, Chen Feng, who is stationed in Tianfeng City all year round, left Tianfeng City with some people. The direction they went is the direction of the Hidden Fog Academy's 10-star trial."
The Ten Thousand Leaves Sect was a God King level sect. It was stronger than the Zhong Family.
And Hou Qingning was the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect's Young Sect Master.
For the sake of Hou Qingning, the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect's Young Sect Master, the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect had even sent the Low Level God King Fifth Elder to guard Tianfeng City all year round to protect Hou Qingning, the Young Sect Master.
"Ten Thousand Leaves Sect?"
Zhong Si frowned. Then, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. "What's wrong with that Hou Qingning? He knows that Duan Lingtian doesn't get along with our Zhong Family, yet he still wants to befriend him. Is he trying to make things difficult for our Zhong Family? "
"That, I don't know."
Zhong San shook his head.
"If it was the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect that did it … Could it be? Are we just going to let it go like this? "
Zhong Si asked in a deep voice.
"Of course not."
Zhong San's eyes gleamed coldly. "Although the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect is stronger than our Zhong Family, as the saying goes, even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a snake in its own territory. Since they dared to make a move against our Zhong Family, our Zhong Family is not to be trifled with!
If they really push our Zhong Family too far, our Zhong Family will do something that will make them regret it greatly! "
Towards the end, Chong San's tone also revealed a burst of ruthlessness.
However, the moment Zhong San finished speaking, he couldn't help but frown, as if he had suddenly realized something …
"What's wrong, Third Brother?"
Zhong Si, who had been staring at Zhong San, couldn't help but ask.
When Zhong San heard this, he said with an odd expression, "I just received a message … The Ten Thousand Leaves Sect, led by Fifth Elder Chen Feng, returned to Tianfeng City on the same day that the leader of our Zhong Family's loyalists, Blood Two's soul pearl shattered.
Among those from the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect, only Chen Feng had the ability to kill Blood Two. "
The moment Zhong San said this, the Zhong Family's discussion hall went into an uproar. "Does this mean that the deaths of Blood Two and the rest of the loyalists have nothing to do with the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect?"
"If that's the case, the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect can be eliminated as a suspect."
"If it's not the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect, who could it be? Could it be that the loyalists of the other God-King families in Tianfeng City joined hands and killed Blood Two and the rest? "
"Impossible! If it was them, Blood Two and the others wouldn't have been unable to send back a message in time. It is clear that their deaths were completely sudden, to the extent that they didn't have time to send a message … The person who killed them, most likely did it by surprise! "
…
Just as the upper echelons of the Zhong Family were wondering who had killed the Zhong Family's men of sacrifice, the other God-Monarch-Grade families in Tianfeng City also discovered that some of the men of sacrifice they had sent out had started to die.
