Chapter 2003: Yang Wen’s Death

Based on Yang Wen’s words, he had successfully comprehended this high-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Spear Emperor Genesis, after he had consumed the forbidden pill.

‘Another person who comprehended a high-grade Divine Ability at the last minute because of me?’ The corner of Duan Ling Tian’s mouth twitched for a moment as he recalled the incident with Sun De.

At that time in the Four Symbols Sanctums’ First Mine, it was due to Duan Ling Tian’s pressure that Sun De successfully comprehended the Black Turtle Sanctum’s most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier.

Today, Yang Wen was in the same situation as Sun De as well. Faced with his pressure, Yang Wen had successfully comprehended a high-grade Divine Ability after he consumed the forbidden pill.

Duan Ling Tian felt a little speechless.

“My goodness!”

“It’s the Divine Ability, the Spear Emperor Genesis!”

“I’ve long heard that Senior Brother Yang Wen has been comprehending this high-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Spear Emperor Genesis, for a few years now. I can’t believe that he would successfully comprehend it during this crucial moment!”

“As it turns out, Senior Brother Yang Wen did not go crazy. He was laughing so excitedly because he has successfully comprehended the Spear Emperor Genesis!”

“I’m sure Duan Ling Tian must be furious now. If it wasn’t for his continuous pressure, Senior Brother Yang Wen wouldn’t have consumed the forbidden pill, leading him to successfully comprehending this high-grade Divine Ability, the Spear Emperor Genesis!”

…

As soon as Yang Wen cast the high-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Spear Emperor Genesis, after he finished speaking, the eyes of the Saint Land disciples who thought he had gone insane lit up immediately. Each of them seemed re-energized!

At the same time, many Saint Land disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian mockingly.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian…” Sun De smiled wryly at his seat.

He did not expect someone else would also successfully comprehend a high-grade Divine Ability at the last minute due to Duan Ling Tian’s pressure just like him.

Now that Yang Wen had successfully comprehended the high-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Spear Emperor Genesis, this meant his strength was greater as well. Combined with the medicinal efficacy of the forbidden pill, it would be easy for him to kill Duan Ling Tian!

One could say that Duan Ling Tian had dropped a stone on his own foot this time.

Meanwhile, the expressions of Guan Xiu, the two Liu Brothers, Liu Yun and Liu Mu, had turned grave as well.

Even Liu Mu who was very confident in Duan Ling Tian before this could not help but feel nervous. He had a worried expression on his face when he looked at Duan Ling Tian,

“He actually successfully comprehended the Spear Emperor Genesis at this moment?” Even the Palace Of Death’s custodian, Nie Zui, was taken aback when he saw Yang Wen successfully comprehending a high-grade offensive Divine Ability at this moment.

The three Palace Of Death’s Bronze Flame Elders were now standing silently in tribute to Duan Ling Tian.

“Yang Wen has consumed a forbidden pill and even comprehended the high-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Spear Emperor Genesis, at the very last minute. In such a situation, Duan Ling Tian doesn’t stand a chance to win this Death Duel!”

“Duan Ling Tian, today’s going to be your death anniversary a year later!” Yang Wen shouted suddenly.

At the same time, he strode forward and flicked the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Spear in his hands.

Swoosh!

It swept toward Duan Ling Tian.

His spear-type martial tactic was completely revealed!

Naturally, to the others, Yang Wen was merely flicking his spear. His spear was far away from Duan Ling Tian so it was impossible for it to touch Duan Ling Tian.

However, just because his spear could not touch Duan Ling Tian, it did not mean that the long spear that was hundreds of meters long in the hand of the Spear Emperor Phantom he consolidated through his Divine Ability could not touch Duan Ling Tian.

As Yang Wen made his move, the Spear Emperor Phantom that was as huge as a towering mountain finally made its move.

It mimicked Yang Wen and strode forward as well.

Boom!

As it strode forward, it caused air turbulence that turned into hurricanes.

Whenever it walked, it felt as though its feet had landed on everyone’s chest. It made the people panicked as though they were the target.

Swoosh!

The Spear Emperor Phantom finally made its move. The Hundred Inscriptions Saint Spear in his hand swept out as though it had transformed into a huge Wyrmdragon that was charging toward Duan Ling Tian.

“Golden Crow’s Wings!” At this moment, it was useless even if Duan Ling Tian cast the Golden Crow’s Wings to dodge the attack.

The spear that the Spear Emperor Phantom had thrust out was targeted at him. No matter how he tried to evade it, he was unable to escape it. It followed him like a shadow. It seemed as though it would not rest until it killed him.

“Black Turtle’s Barrier!” The Saint Energy on Duan Ling Tian’s body surged and spread out, forming a protective barrier around his body.

This protective barrier was in the shape of a gigantic Black Turtle. It appeared around Duan Ling Tian and protected Duan Ling Tian safely inside as though it could withstand all sorts of attacks.

“It’s the Black Turtle Sanctum’s most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier!” Many Saint Land disciple’s eyes lit up when they saw the Divine Ability Duan Ling Tian had cast.

However, the instant the Black Turtle’s silhouette appeared, it was instantly destroyed by the spear of the Spear Emperor Phantom. From the beginning until the end, Duan Ling Tian was powerless to stop it.

Put aside the fact that Duan Ling Tian had only just mastered the Black Turtle’s Barrier and did not have a deep comprehension of it yet, his strength that he used to consolidate the Black Turtle’s Barrier could not be compared to the strength of the Spear Emperor Phantom at all!

One was the Saint Energy at the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage while the other was the Saint Origin at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Two of them were at completely different levels. It could not be compared at all.

After the Spear Emperor Phantom that followed Yang Wen’s movement charged toward Duan Ling Tian and destroyed the defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, that Duan Ling Tian had cast, it moved toward him again with the same momentum.

It was obvious it planned to pierce Duan Ling Tian’s body to kill him!

“Otherworldly Celestial!” Duan Ling Tian who had merged with his clones summoned his four clones again.

Five Duan Ling Tians charged out in different directions.

“Crush them all!” Yang Wen cried out as he narrowed his eyes when he saw this. His body began to move as he made his move again.

Swoosh!

A the same time, the long spear that was hundreds of meters long in the hand of the Spear Emperor Phantom that also contained formidable Saint Origin caught up to one of Duan Ling Tian’s clones before it pierced it.

Whoosh!

As fast as a gust of wind, Duan Ling Tian’s clone that had been pierced vanished into thin air.

Swoosh!

Yang Wen’s attack was unfruitful so he made his move once again. The Spear Emperor Phantom made its move as well. The spear once again pierced another Duan Ling Tian.

As it turned out, it was a clone as well.

“The next one!” Yang Wen thrust his spear out again as the Spear Emperor Phantom mimicked his movements.

This spear was like a spear descending from heaven. It seemed as though it would be able to pierce through anything.

This time, Duan Ling Tian did not stay idle and wait for his death.

After he was targeted by Yang Wen and the Spear Emperor Phantom’s aura, he instantly turned around and faced Yang Wen. He hovered in the air as he wielded his sword.

This immediately revealed that he was the real Duan Ling Tian.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the same time, the other two clones came to a halt and turned around in unison to glare at Yang Wen.

All of these happened at lightning speed!

Currently, if one paid close attention, one would discover that Duan Ling Tian had his back facing the custodian of the Palace of Death, Nie Zui!

As it happened, Duan Ling Tian, Nie Zui, and Yang Wen were standing in a straight line. It seemed like it was a deliberate move.

When he made his way over here he had continuously cast his movement Divine Ability, the Golden Crow’s Wings, before he finally reached his destination.

Whoosh!

The Spear Emperor Phantom’s spear thrust forward. In just a blink of an eye, it drew close to Duan Ling Tian.

The horrifying Saint Origin that was enhanced by the forbidden pill exploded as though it could destroy everything!

At this instant, under the watchful eyes of the others, the three Hundred Inscriptions Saint Swords in the three Duan Ling Tians’ hands disappeared.

At this moment, nobody thought Duan Ling Tian had put his sword away.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Just as expected, as soon as the three Hundred Inscriptions Saint Swords disappeared, the sound of swords whistling in the air began to ring in the air. The noise was particularly piercing to the ears.

Swish!

At the time when the sound of swords whistling rang in the air, a crisp and extraordinary sound of a sword whistling in the air that was pleasing to ears sounded. It sounded like the cry of a phoenix. At the same time, it emitted a cold killing intent.

In the next instant, under the watchful gaze of the others, before the long spear that was hundreds of meters long in the hand of the Spear Emperor Phantom could touch Duan Ling Tian, it was destroyed by a wave of invisible energy. The Spear Emperor Phantom was destroyed as well.

Everyone did not know what had just happened. They were confused. All they heard was the sound of a sword that sounded like a phoenix cry, but they did not see anything at all.

Even Liu Yun and the three Palace Of Death’s Bronze Flame Elders could not catch a trace of the sword’s shadow that sounded like a phoenix’s cry.

Spurt!

Almost as soon as the Spear Emperor Phantom was destroyed, a faint sound could be heard.

When the crowd shifted their gaze toward the direction of the sound, they discovered a gruesome and bloody wound had appeared in between Yang Wen’s brows even though he was standing in the distance. His eyes were still glaring at Duan Ling Tian and a smug smile was still on his face. It was as though he could already envision Duan Ling Tian’s death.

Perhaps, he did not even know what had taken place until the moment he was killed.

Whoosh!

At the same time, the sound of a breeze sounded as the custodian of the Palace of Death, Nie Zui, flew up into the sky. His sight had been blocked by Duan Ling Tian earlier. However, his reaction was still too slow.

Yang Wen was dead. He had been killed by the sword that sounded like a phoenix’s cry.

From the beginning until the end, Nie Zui did not see anything at all during the crucial moment.

Even the four most powerful people present on the scene, other than Nie Zui, Liu Yun and the three Palace Of Death’s Bronze Flame Elders, could not even catch a trace of the sword that had killed Yang Wen.

“What a fast sword!”

“How could it be so fast!”

Four of them narrowed their eyes with an expression of confusion and disbelief on their faces.
