"Both of you should be proud of yourselves for being able to flee so far under our pursuit."
A Skywolf Fort elder looked at Duan Lingtian and Ta Mu as he spoke indifferently.
"Elders … Err, can you let us go? When you return to report, just say you didn't find us. How about it? "
Ta Mu grinned, and he completely didn't have the awareness of being a trapped beast.
However, no one paid any attention to Ta Mu.
"If all of you are afraid you won't be able to obtain any benefits from letting us go, then all of you can be at ease … Look at my Master, he's only 28 years old, yet his cultivation is at the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage, and his future is limitless! It's even to the extent that even the Fort Master of your Skywolf Fort might not be able to compare to him in the future. "
As he finished speaking, Ta Mu's tone contained slight temptation mixed within. "So long as all of you let us go today, it's equivalent to giving my Master a great favor, and in the future …"
"Shut up!"
A Skywolf Fort elder seemed to be unable to endure Ta Mu's endless chatter, and he shouted out coldly to interrupt Ta Mu.
"Vice Fort Master Feng said that once we catch up to the two of them, kill them! Just bring the Spatial Rings back. "
One of the Skywolf Fort elders spoke with a piercingly cold voice.
Instantly, the other five Skywolf Fort elders revealed killing intent as they looked at Duan Lingtian and Ta Mu, and their Origin Energy and material Concept had fused together on their bodies, causing terrifying energy to be on the verge of erupting.
Spatial Ring?
Duan Lingtian stood in midair, and he tried his best to maintain a calm expression when he was in such a dangerous situation.
Because he knew that no matter how panicked he was now, it was useless, and only by maintaining a calm attitude might he be able to seek a chance at survival.
"Feng Wei revealed greed in his eyes when he saw me earlier, and he obviously has designs towards me … Now, these people want my Spatial Ring."
Duan Lingtian's heart sank. "What exactly do they want?"
For a time, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be slightly bewildered.
"Could it be a Quasi Royal Grade spirit sword?"
This thought couldn't help but arise in Duan Lingtian's heart.
After all, when he fought Qi Feng today, he'd utilized the Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword to shatter Qi Feng's arrow.
But he was extremely sure that besides the Sect Master of the Emotion Severing Sect, Pei An, there ought to be no one including Sword 13 that was able to discern that the sword he used at that time wasn't simple.
"Unless the elusive Fort Master of the Skywolf Fort is hiding in the dark and discovered the extraordinariness of the Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword … But, is this possible?"
Duan Lingtian's mind spun rapidly as he considered various possibilities.
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian had a flash of inspiration.
"Also … that Zi Shang kept saying that I wouldn't live for long. He said the same thing when I left. Could it be because of him? "
Duan Ling Tian gasped when he thought up to this point.
In his opinion, Zi Shang that madman was capable of doing anything.
"But how did he convince Skywolf Fort to send such a large force to deal with me? Furthermore, he wants something from my storage ring … "
Duan Lingtian pondered.
In next to no time, a broken stone tablet appeared in Duan Lingtian's mind without rhyme or reason, and it was difficult to disperse.
"Right! How could I have almost forgotten … The Devilseal Tablet! That day during the Darkhan Dynasty's Martial Competition, the soul of the expert suspected to be Emperor Wu concealed within Zi Shang's body had once personally mentioned the Devilseal Tablet after possessing Zi Shang's body. "
"In other words, he knows of the Devilseal Tablet, and it's very likely that he knows of the Devilseal Tablet's background … Moreover, the Devilseal Tablet in my possession is something that Zi Shang yearns for even in his dreams! After all, if I didn't have the Devilseal Tablet, he wouldn't be restrained by me at all times. "
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Now, Duan Lingtian was able to determine.
It was all Zi Shang's doing behind the scenes.
"Not to mention the Devilseal Tablet's ability to suppress the soul, just its ability to amplify strength by 100% is sufficient to make any third-rate power in the Foreign Lands fight to the death for it!"
"The soul of the expert suspected to be Emperor Wu within Zi Shang's body knows of the Devilseal Tablet, so I presume he has a very good understanding of the Devilseal Tablet and might even know of the Devilseal Tablet's amplification ability!"
"Even if Zi Shang only mentioned the Devilseal Tablet's amplification ability before Ning Can … The Skywolf Fort would surely go mad for it! If the Devilseal Tablet that amplifies strength by 100% falls into the hands of the Skywolf Fort's Fort Master, then the Skywolf Fort would even be able to use it to suppress third-rate powers like the Blade Sect, Empyrean Temple, and Emotion Severing Sect! "
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath, and the more he thought about it, the more he was sure that the objective of the group of people before him was precisely the Devilseal Tablet within his Spatial Ring.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a wave of terrifying howls of the wind swept over, causing Duan Lingtian to feel as if he was struck by lightning, and his back even broke out in cold sweat.
"Master, watch out!"
At practically the exact same moment, an explosive shout sounded out by Duan Lingtian's ears.
Bang!
An enormous bang sounded out, and it caused Duan Lingtian to be unable to refrain himself from raising his head. With a single glance, he saw the robust figure that was blocking his path not too far away.
However, this robust figure had a dispirited aura at this moment.
A fist had passed through Ta Mu's chest, and it was precisely the fist of the Skywolf Fort's Elder that had hastily made a move against Duan Lingtian.
"What a touching scene."
The Skywolf Fort's Elder casually withdrew his fist, and with a raise of his hand, his Water Concept suffused out and eliminated the blood on his hand.
On the other hand, a hideous bloody hole had appeared on Ta Mu's chest, and fresh blood ceaselessly gushed out from it. In the blink of an eye, it dyed his lower body red, yet he still forcefully and bitterly held on.
"Mas … Mas … Master … I … I …"
Ta Mu struggled for a moment before looking at Duan Lingtian with great difficulty, and he seemed to want to say something.
But before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly trembled, and he completely lost all signs of life. After that, he fell from the sky and fell onto the plains.
"Ta Mu!!"
Duan Lingtian's pupils suddenly constricted. Never had he imagined that Ta Mu would use his own body to block the fist of the Skywolf Fort's Elder for him.
After all, he and Ta Mu could be said to have no relationship at all.
If one really wanted to talk about the relationship between them, then it was nothing more than Ta Mu's wishful thinking of taking him as his master and wanting to learn the soul skill, Thousand Illusions, from him.
But now, it was precisely such a person, a person that he wasn't willing to take as his disciple no matter what, that person had blocked the strike of the Skywolf Fort's Elder for him and saved his life.
How much courage was required for this?
Moreover, this wasn't something that could be accomplished just by having courage, it was also something that was worthy of him doing this.
"Was it worth it for me?"
Duan Lingtian's heart trembled, and he seemed to be speaking to himself yet also seemed to be asking the already dead Ta Mu.
As far as he was concerned, since the beginning when Ta Mu wanted to take him as his master until that moment just now, he'd never given Ta Mu any face.
It was even to the extent that he'd berated Ta Mu many times with the intention of making Ta Mu give up.
But what about Ta Mu?
Every time, Ta Mu would act as if nothing had happened, allowing him to berate him, allowing him to refuse, as if nothing had happened.
"I'm sorry …"
Unknowingly, Duan Lingtian's eyes were filled with tears, and they were on the verge of flowing out.
These tears were because of the guilt he felt towards Ta Mu.
If time could be turned back, even if it was only for a moment, he would absolutely not treat Ta Mu so coldly like before.
But now, he didn't have the chance.
Ta Mu was dead!
Ta Mu had died before him, died for him!
"Since someone is willing to die for you, then you haven't lived your life in vain."
The six Skywolf Fort elders who had been silent for a moment came back to their senses. One of them looked at Duan Lingtian with a face full of killing intent. "Now, you should follow him."
Finally, Duan Lingtian came back to his senses. The guilt he felt towards Ta Mu in his heart had completely transformed into bone-deep hatred, hatred towards the six Skywolf Fort elders in front of him, hatred towards the entire Skywolf Fort!
A debt of blood must be paid with blood!
However, did he have the strength to do so now?
Unknowingly, Duan Lingtian's face had turned incomparably pale. His fists were tightly clenched together, and his nails pierced into his palms. After a sharp pain, blood flowed out.
However, he seemed to be unaware of all of this.
"I want strength!"
"I want great strength!"
"I want strength that can destroy them, destroy Skywolf Fort, and even destroy everything!"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's desire for strength had almost reached the limit.
The violet clothes on his body were swept by waves of strong winds, and they fluttered.
His long hair that was already scattered behind him because of the broken band even fluttered with the wind and fluttered up, and the surroundings were suffused with layers of azure colored strong winds.
Whoosh!
In the sky, the phenomenon of the heavens and the earth appeared abruptly. First, 60 ancient horned dragon silhouettes appeared, and then another 30 ancient horned dragon silhouettes appeared.
Fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage!
Second level Intermediate Wind Concept!
"No wonder you were the first to leave the Illusory Crypt during the second round of the selections. So it turns out that you've always concealed your cultivation. You're actually a fourth level Void Interpretation Stage martial artist!"
A Skywolf Fort elder spoke with slight surprise.
He wasn't present during the third and fourth round of the selections, so he didn't know that Duan Lingtian had broken through later on, and he only thought that Duan Lingtian had concealed his cultivation.
"Fourth level Void Interpretation Stage at the age of 28 … Even in the entire Cloud Continent, such natural talent can be considered to be monstrous. What a pity … "
The Skywolf Fort elder that used the Age Measuring Pearl to test Duan Lingtian's age during the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties felt pity for Duan Lingtian.
"I've killed many people in my lifetime, yet I've never killed a genius martial artist like you … Even if you die today, we won't forget you."
The corners of a Skywolf Fort elder's mouth curled into a cold smile as he spoke indifferently.
The material Concept on the bodies of the six Skywolf Fort elders swept out, causing their clothes to flutter without any wind, and their gazes descended onto Duan Lingtian in unison.
As far as they were concerned, the violet clothed young man before them was bound to become a ghost at their hands today.
At the same time that Duan Lingtian ceaselessly shouted in his heart, he noticed that the Spatial Ring on his hand had started trembling.
With a command in his mind, Duan Lingtian noticed that the Devilseal Tablet within the storage space within his Spatial Ring had become restless, and it was even more disobedient than before.
When Duan Lingtian's mind touched the Devilseal Tablet, his soul throbbed, and it was as if a voice that was filled with temptation was saying to him.
