Chapter 1896: Counterattack

“Trash! If there’s a next life, remember to take a detour if you encounter someone strong like me. Otherwise, you’ll just keep on dying no matter how many lives you have!” Yang Wu flew out like a gust of wind and soon arrived near Duan Ling Tian in just a blink of an eye.

His disdainful words resonated in the air, accompanied by a three-foot-long blade.

Whoosh!

The three-foot-long blade slashed across the sky and quickly transformed into a seven-foot-long sword ray. It felt dismal and cold as the energy wave swept toward Duan Ling Tian as though it could pierce through everything.

“Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword!” Many people could tell the three-foot-long blade in Yang Wu’s hands was a Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapon when they sensed the dangerous aura it emitted. Its force would not have been so strong if it was not a Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapon!

Whoosh!

At the same time, the air in within 100 meters around Yang Wu began to tremble as he began to consolidate his Territory.

Duan Ling Tian could clearly sense a heavy force enveloping him in this Territory. It pressed down on him, further injuring him. His face turned even paler as he threw up a mouthful of blood.

It was apparent that Yang Wu’s Territory was the Gravitational Territory!

“Junior Brother Ling Tian!” Gu Li was horrified when he saw Duan Ling Tian throwing up blood and how pale he was before he even made his move. His eyes were as wide as saucers as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. However, there was nothing he could do. He was so anxious that he almost destroyed his teeth as he gnashed them.

Zhu Lu Qi was no better. He had a worried expression on his face.

“Die!” Yang Wu snarled loudly without warning. His body entered his Gravitational Territory with flash. He was not affected at all since it was his own Territory.

In just a blink of an eye, under the watchful eyes of the others, Yang Wu walked in his Territory with his sword like a Sword God! When the Sword God was enraged, blood would splatter for miles upon miles.

“Duan Ling Tian’s going to die now!”

“The gap is too huge!”

“They’re at two completely different levels!”

…

Upon seeing this, many people shook their heads and sighed emotionally as though they had already seen Duan Ling Tian die.

“You brute! To think you actually dare to curse me! Count yourself lucky! If I’m the one who personally makes a move, you’ll die without a grave!” Li An smirked, and his eyes flashed coldly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian who was about to be killed by Yang Wu.

Earlier, he was furious when Duan Ling Tian had indirectly called him an old dog. If Duan Ling Tian did not say it in such a roundabout way, he would have made his move out of rage and kill him!

Naturally, he felt satisfied when he saw how Duan Ling Tian was going to be killed by Yang Wu.

Teng Shan sighed as a hint of reluctance filled his eyes. Even he did not think Duan Ling Tian was a match for Yang Wu. He was about to look away since he was unwilling to see Yang Wu kill Duan Ling Tian and the scene of his blood splattering in the air.

However, just as he was about to look away, the situation turned around.

“H-How’s this possible?!” Teng Shan’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and Yang Wu with an expression of disbelief.

“Impossible!” At the same time Teng Shan narrowed his eyes, horror dawned on Li An as an expression of disbelief appeared on his face as well. He could not believe what he was seeing.

Under the gazes of Teng Shan and Li An, a whirlpool rapidly emerged around Duan Ling Tian.

The whirlpool churned as the energy in the surroundings was absorbed by him. During this process, Yang Wu’s Gravitational Territory shattered immediately!

Swoosh!

Although the Gravitational Territory was shattered, it did not affect the sword in Yang Wu’s hands at all. He was taken aback by the scene before him, but he continued to exert his strength. The Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword in his hand whistled in the air as it slashed toward Duan Ling Tian’s neck. It was apparent that he wanted to decapitate Duan Ling Tian.

Swish!

Like a bolt of lightning, Yang Wu saw something flashed across his eyes. It was accompanied by a deafening sound of wind whistling in the air that made his eardrums tremble.

Clang!

In the next instant, a loud metal-clashing sound reverberated in the air and shattered Yang Wu’s eardrums, causing blood to stream out of his ears.

Yang Wu did not even have time to tend to his bleeding ears when he sensed a resistance force against his sword that made it tremble. It was as though it had clashed with something indestructible.

This force did not only tear the skin between his thumb and his index finger but the vibration it sent down the Hundred Inscriptions Sword even entered his body, causing his internal organs to be severely injured.

Barf!

Yang Wu’s body trembled before he threw up blood. He felt dizzy, and his vision was blurry as he looked at his Hundred Inscriptions Sword.

A fierce-looking hand with sharp claws was blocking the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword of his hand.

Initially, he had thought some Saint Beast or wild beast had made its move to help Duan Ling Tian but when he shifted his gaze upward, he realized this hand with sharp claws were not different from a dragon’s hand. Not only that, but it was Duan Ling Tian’s hand!

Whoosh!

Before Yang Wu could see the dragon claws on Duan Ling Tian’s hand clearly, it had already disappeared and was replaced with a human hand. At the same time, this hand stretched out at lightning speed and clasped Yang Wu’s neck. A vast energy suppressed his energy and hoisted him up forcefully by his neck.

C-Cough… Cough… C-Cough…

Now that Yang Wu’s energy was suppressed, he could no longer hover in the air. His face turned red instantly since he was held up in the air by his neck. He could not breathe and was suffocating.

“It seems like the person who’s going to die isn’t me!” At this moment, a cold voice sounded. It was Duan Ling Tian who was holding Yang Wu up by his neck. He stared at Yang Wu’s flushed face emotionlessly.

Earlier, when the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword in Yang Wu’s hand almost landed on Duan Ling Tian, he quickly made his move in a timely manner. He had immediately used the high-grade Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic!

With the help of the Elementary Devouring Tactic, he was still able to raise the force of his Sun True Origin even though he was heavily injured, and it was difficult for him to raise the force of his Sun True Origin to his heart’s content. Despite the fact that he could not raise it to its peak, it was not difficult for him to raise it to a level where he could fight against Yang Wu! At the same time, he had Dragonized his right hand as well.

Currently, he could easily transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior so it was even easier for him to Dragonize his right hand.

With the help of his Dragonized right hand and the Sun True Origin whose force had been raised by the Devouring Tactic, Duan Ling Tian easily blocked the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapon in Yang Wu’s hand. From the beginning until the end, he did not feel any pressure at all.

Although the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword was powerful, Yang Wu’s strength was not that strong. A mere Mastery Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator who wielded the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword was not much of a threat to Duan Ling Tian.

The moment Duan Ling Tian extended his dragon’s claws out, not only did it block Yang Wu’s Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword, but it had even severely injured Yang Wu as well!

“T-This… This…”

“Inconceivable! Inconceivable!”

“How’s this possible? Wasn’t he injured by Elder Li An? How is he still so strong?!”

“I-Isn’t he a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage? Let alone a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage who’s injured, even a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage at his peak doesn’t possess his strength.”

The spectators were momentarily stunned. When they regained their senses, they had an expression of shock and disbelief on their faces.

Many people felt that their brains had gone haywire.

Who could tell them what was going on?

Why was a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage who was severely injured so strong and even managed to counterattack a Mastery Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator and successfully grasped his opponent’s life in his hand?

They could tell that Duan Ling Tian could kill Yang Wu anytime as long as he wanted to.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian!” Gu Li’s eyes lit up, and he sighed in relief when he saw the scene before him, unlike other people who were filled with shock and disbelief.

“Freak!” Zhu Lu Qi was dumbfounded for a long time before spitting out one word.

Duan Ling Tian’s strength had also shocked and baffled him!

It did not cross his mind that although Duan Ling Tian was severely injured, he was still so strong. In just two to three moves, he had already turned the situation around and put Yang Wu, a Mastery Divine Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, in a disadvantageous position. Not only that, but he held Yang Wu’s life in his hands as well.

“Let Second Young Master go!” At the same time, the old man who always followed behind Yang Wu could no longer hold back when he saw the pained expression on Yang Wu’s face from having his neck gripped by Duan Ling Tian. After he shouted, he seemed to have transformed into a gust of wind as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian to try and rescue his Second Young Master.

“Hurmph!” However, the instant the old man made his move, a thunderous snort resonated.

Bang!

A terrifying energy sent the old man flying!

Teng Shan looked at the old man whom he had sent flying and said coldly, “If you dare to act recklessly again, you’ll definitely die!”

The old man instantly trembled as colors drained from his face.

The old man took a deep breath and immediately shifted his gaze to Li An who was standing by Teng Shan’s side. “Elder Li An, you’re our fifth elder’s best friend! You must save Second Young Master! The fifth elder only has two sons, and he adores the Second Young Master the most. If something happens to the Second Young Master, he wouldn’t be able to handle it!”

The moment he realized it was impossible for him to save his Second Young Master, he immediately tried to pull Li An into it. Upon hearing his Voice Transmission, Li An’s originally grim expression turned even grimmer.

Asking him to save Yang Wu?

How should he save Yang Wu?

Everyone present on the scene personally witnessed Duan Ling Tian and Yang Wu engaging in a Death Duel.

If he shamelessly made his move, he could indeed save Yang Wu. However, he could dismiss the idea of staying in the Fire Worship Sect in the future since the sect would not tolerate such disgrace!
