At practically the same instant that Bai Nanxiang took a step forward, Duan Lingtian made a move as well.
Duan Lingtian's right hand that was originally behind his back suddenly skyrocketed with Origin Energy, and the vast Origin Energy coiled around the talisman in his hand before he tossed it towards Bai Nanxiang.
Swoosh!
The talisman itself was light as a feather, and even if Origin Energy was poured into it, it didn't possess any offensive strength when it flashed out.
"Hmm?"
Bai Nanxiang was already rather surprised that Duan Lingtian dared to take the initiative to make a move against him. Right when the Origin Energy around his body condensed into a defensive light barrier, he saw a piece of paper that was light as a feather flashing towards him.
After a short moment, it descended onto the defensive light barrier on his body and was blocked outside.
"What's this?"
Bai Nanxiang frowned. This strange piece of paper before him had something scribbled on it, and it actually caused him to feel a wave of palpitations for no reason or rhyme.
"Perhaps I'm thinking too much. Isn't it just an ordinary piece of yellow paper?"
Bai Nanxiang shook his head before raising his head, and his gaze locked onto Duan Lingtian once more as he prepared to kill Duan Lingtian.
Right when he looked at Duan Lingtian, he noticed that Duan Lingtian's gaze was staring fixedly at him, and the sharpness of Duan Lingtian's gaze caused him to feel a slight chill run down his spine.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Duan Lingtian, but he himself had this feeling for no reason or rhyme.
"Hmph!"
Bai Nanxiang grunted lightly as he concealed the feelings in his heart, and killing intent suffused his face as he took another step forward.
Whoosh!
The Origin Energy and 1st level Advanced Lightning Concept on his body shook the air to the point the airflow in the air became chaotic, and gusts of violent winds slapped out in all directions with a vast impetus.
"Descend!"
Right when Bai Nanxiang was about to make a move and annihilate Duan Lingtian, Duan Lingtian's shocked shout suddenly resounded out.
This shocked shout caused Bai Nanxiang to be subconsciously stunned.
Right at this instant, his pupils constricted abruptly because he saw the inconspicuous piece of yellow paper before him had actually strangely vanished in the air in an instant.
The next moment, he felt a piercing pain in the space between his eyebrows. His consciousness gradually blurred until it completely disappeared.
Until the moment his consciousness was completely annihilated, Bai Nanxiang still didn't know what had happened.
Whereas in the distance, Duan Ling Tian was dumbstruck when he saw the scene before him.
Along with his shout of 'descend,' he noticed that the talisman he threw out had instantly vanished in the air, and at practically the exact same moment, a bloody hole appeared between Bai Nanxiang's brows.
After the bloody hole appeared, the Origin Energy on Bai Nan Xiang's body and the Lightning Concept that was coiled within the Origin Energy were completely obliterated, whereas, he fell down along with Chen Xi, and his aura was completely gone.
"That's … that's it?"
The scene before him caused Duan Ling Tian to be unable to react for a long time.
It wasn't until Bai Nan Xiang's corpse fell down that Duan Lingtian finally reacted and hurriedly chased after it.
In next to no time, he caught up to Bai Nan Xiang's corpse and withdrew a violet colored fragmented object from it. It was precisely the first level Advance Lightning Concept Fragment condensed within Bai Nan Xiang's body.
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian removed the Spatial Ring from Bai Nan Xiang's hand.
After he obtained the spoils of the battle, Duan Lingtian raised his hand, and a violet colored flame with copper edges rose explosively from the center of his palm before descending onto Bai Nan Xiang's corpse.
Instantly, Bai Nan Xiang's corpse transformed into ash in midair, and it drifted along with the wind before completely vanishing from this world.
After he put away the spoils of the battle, Duan Lingtian stood on the spot without moving in the slightest.
At this moment, his mind was filled with the numerous strange scenes that had occurred earlier.
A dignified existence at the first level of the Void Transformation Stage was so easily annihilated by the talisman his cheapskate father left behind.
The scene from before gave Duan Lingtian a feeling as if he was dreaming.
"What talisman is that? It's too heaven defying, right? "
After he returned to his senses, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
Earlier, he didn't see clearly how the talisman killed Bai Nan Xiang.
He only saw the talisman instantly vanish, whereas, at practically the exact same moment, the space between Bai Nan Xiang's brows seemed to have been penetrated by something, and he was directly killed.
Of course, Duan Lingtian knew clearly in his heart that all of this was surely done by that talisman, but because his strength was insufficient, he was utterly unable to capture the exact process of how the talisman killed Bai Nan Xiang.
The speed of the talisman was so swift that it had already arrived at an astonishing extent.
It was even to the extent that Duan Lingtian noticed that the air in the area Bai Nan Xiang was at earlier seemed to have no movement at all.
What sort of speed was capable of causing the air to not be affected?
Or perhaps, it could be said that the effect was extremely tiny, and he was utterly unable to notice it with his current strength.
For a time, Duan Lingtian felt his scalp go numb.
"Where did Father obtain these talismans?"
Duan Lingtian laughed bitterly.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his cheapskate father was so unfamiliar …
At the same time, his heart was filled with bewilderment.
"There's obviously no trace of Origin Energy within Father's body … Even if it was an expert like Emperor Wu, if he didn't resist the detection of my Spiritual Force, then I would normally be able to detect his Origin Energy with my Spiritual Force. But I can be sure that there's indeed not the slightest trace of Origin Energy within Father's body. "
Duan Lingtian was unable to wrap his head around this after racking his brains, and he suddenly felt that his cheapskate father was even more mysterious.
"Logically speaking, it's impossible for Father to not know the dangers of the world outside the Darkhan Dynasty, but he still brought Mother and Jingru along to leave …"
Duan Lingtian recalled his father's departure and recalled the three talismans his father left behind for him and the mysterious exquisite jade box. "Perhaps, during the 23 years Father was missing, some unbelievable things had occurred to him … At the very least, I can be sure now that he's absolutely not a martial artist with a crippled Dantian!"
When he thought up to here, Duan Lingtian's thoughts continued to float away.
The scenes of his father returning that day flashed past his mind one by one.
From when he first met his father in the Duan Clan Estate to when he returned home with his father … And some things after that, he didn't miss anything.
"At that time …"
Duan Lingtian continued recalling, and unknowingly, he recalled the scenes of the Azure Forest Tri-Sect's three Guardian Elders, including Zhao Ming and Tang Huo, descending to the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Imperial City.
At that time, even though Peak Master Qin Xiang was present as well, she was far from being a match for Zhao Ming's group of three.
At that time, for the sake of protecting himself, he'd deceived Zhao Ming's group of three and said he knew the location of the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk, and he intended to leave with Zhao Ming's group of three before waiting for an opportunity to flee.
Of course, doing that was extremely risky, and the slightest carelessness would surely cause him to become a dead soul at the hands of Zhao Ming's group of three.
But he had no other choice at that time.
However, right at that critical moment, a low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded out, and then the owner of the voice didn't make an appearance, yet easily suppressed Zhao Ming's group of three to the point they were unable to catch their breaths.
Later on, under the ability of the mysterious expert that was sufficient to crush Zhao Ming's group of three, even though Zhao Ming's group of three was unwilling in their hearts, they could only flee in defeat.
At that time, Duan Lingtian only thought that the owner of the hoarse voice was a mysterious expert that lived in seclusion within the Crimson Sky Kingdom, and the expert couldn't bear the sight of Zhao Ming's group of three, so the expert saved him in passing.
"Now it would seem that it's extremely likely that the mysterious expert is Father! At that time, I didn't think in this direction and overlooked an important problem. The owner of the hoarse voice had obviously intentionally suppressed his voice when speaking, and it was as if he wasn't willing to expose his true identity. "
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but guess, and the more he guessed, the more certain he was.
"At that time, Father ought to have stayed within the courtyard and made a move … But, that level of ability seems to not be something an ordinary martial artist can execute."
When Duan Lingtian thought up to here, he started to search through the memories related to Samsara Emperor Wu in his mind.
In next to no time, his pupils constricted as he confirmed one thing.
"According to the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor, only a powerhouse who has stepped into the Martial Emperor Stage is able to do that … Using his acute Spiritual Energy to control his Origin Energy to transmit his voice from a distance of several hundred meters away, and using his aura to oppress his opponent from a distance of several hundred meters!"
As he finished muttering to himself, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but gasp.
"Father, he … Could it be that he's really an Emperor Wu expert?"
Duan Lingtian was completely dumbstruck.
After a while, Duan Lingtian returned to his senses, and he recalled the scene when his deadbeat father, Duan Rufeng, had just returned. "Perhaps, the reason I wasn't able to detect the Origin Energy in Father's body at that time was because he utilized some sort of ability to intentionally conceal it. After all, Cloud Continent is so vast, and there's no lack of secret techniques that can conceal the aura of Origin Energy. "
The more Duan Lingtian thought about it, the more he was sure of it, and then he couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "Looks like I've been completely deceived by Father."
Now, he was practically able to confirm that his father was most likely an expert at the Emperor Wu Stage or above.
"I don't know what Father went through in those twenty three years … to actually possess such a shocking strength! Besides that, he was even able to leave behind such a heaven defying talisman for me. "
Suddenly, two talismans had appeared in Duan Lingtian's hand, and they were the only two talismans he had left.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, as if he'd thought of something, Duan Lingtian frowned and shook his head. "If Father is really an Emperor Wu expert … Then why didn't he bring me along to the Foreign Lands?"
"Is he really my father? He just left me to fend for myself in the Darkhan Dynasty? "
As he finished muttering to himself, Duan Lingtian was slightly speechless.
Even though it was only his guess that his cheapskate father, Duan Rufeng, was an Emperor Wu expert, he felt that his guess wasn't far from the truth.
If it wasn't for his father possessing a shocking strength, how could he dare bring his mother along and leave the Darkhan Dynasty to take a risk?
"Perhaps Father wants me to stay in the Darkhan Dynasty to gain experience and tempering … He said in the voice transmission jade slip that they would meet in the future, and perhaps it would be in the outside world. What he spoke of ought to be the Foreign Lands! "
Duan Lingtian guessed in his heart.
When he thought up to here, even though Duan Lingtian felt much more at ease, he still couldn't help but grumble. "Father is too mean … If he's really an Emperor Wu expert, then shouldn't he bring me along and allow me to show off in the Foreign Lands? Who would dare offend the son of an Emperor Wu expert? "
