Chapter 2517 The Garnier Family

‘they can’t even react in time? it’s no surprise since they haven’t even broken through to the saint celestial stage!’

“how boring!’

these were the thoughts running through the minds of the two young men in the mechas. inside the mechas, their eyes that were filled with killing intent flashed with disappointment at the seemingly lack of challenge their opponents presented. after all, even a cultivator at the first form of the saint celestial stage would put up a better fight compared to these two people.

nok, who was standing nearby and observing everything, sneered disdainfully. “how weak…” however, his expression froze in the next moment as he exclaimed, “how’s this possible?!”

soon after, two alarmed cries rang in the air. they were from the two young men who were controlling the mechas.

at this moment, one of the mechas was right in front of duan ling tian, the sharp blade made of fine steel was aimed at duan ling tian’s chest. it seemed like the blade was capable of easily cutting through a thick steel plate! however, the sharp blade stayed one foot away from duan ling tian’s chest. it could not draw any closer. there seemed to be something shrouding duan ling tian.

 ! boom!

a series of explosions rang in the air as the other mecha continuously shot his laser blaster at duan ling tian. similarly, they did not affect duan ling tian at all and stopped a foot away from him.

“how’s this possible?”

“with just that little bit of strength, you think you can kill me? i think you’ve grossly underestimated me.” duan ling tian grinned when he heard the alarmed cries from the two young men in the mechas. his purple robes fluttered in the air. although it was just a simple movement, it looked extremely terrifying. after all, even when the two young men launched their attacks that were as powerful as cultivators at the fourth form of the saint celestial stage, they did not even manage to cause his robes to flutter. and yet, his robes were suddenly fluttering at this moment.

“retreat!”

“run!”

the two young men controlling the mechas exchanged a look before they activated the vacuum recoil in front of them, trying to use the vacuum blasts to retreat and quickly escape the battlefield.

however, could they escape?

“trying to run?” duan ling tian smiled coldly. he moved slightly and appeared before the mecha with a sharp blade. with just a punch, he pierced through the mecha. with just a shake of his arm, he destroyed the mecha. his hand that was still in the broken mecha moved around for a moment before he pulled the young man out. after that, he flew away at a leisurely pace.

however, in the eyes of the three young men, duan ling tian’s speed was anything but leisurely. he was moving at an extremely terrifying speed. to think duan ling tian did not even cast any of his techniques and was just moving. the three young men thought duan ling tian’s speed was not inferior to the speed of a cultivator at the sixth form of the saint celestial stage.

whoosh!

the other mecha’s front vacuum recoil was activated, initiating a sweeping vacuum blast and propelling him back at the same time.

unfortunately, duan ling tian who seemed like a demon at this moment appeared next to the mecha.

thump!

duan ling tian’s right arm moved forward like a divine dragon, replicating what had happened to the mecha earlier. similarly, he pulled another young man out of the broken mecha. he carried one in each arm like an eagle that had caught two chicks. “you dare to dream of killing me with your little bit of strength?” he sneered before he turned to look at nok who was standing nearby. then, in just a blink of an eye, he snapped both of the young men’s necks, instantly killing them. both of the young men were only slightly stronger than the average men, snapping their necks was enough to kill them.

“are you tong jin qiang or wu bo feng?” nok asked with a grim expression when he saw duan ling tian killing his two companions.

tong jin qiang, wu bo feng. these two men were illustrious figures in the stellar provinces in the coste galaxy. they were famous not because of their immense strength, but their innate talent. they were the rare cultivators in the stellar provinces in the coste galaxy who managed to break through to the fifth and sixth form of the saint celestial stage even though they were less than 100 years old. for this reason, nok had mistakenly believed duan ling tian was one of the two.

“tong jin qiang? wu bo feng? sorry, i’ve never heard of them,” duan ling tian replied indifferently.

“y-you… then, who are you?” nok’s expression changed drastically as he asked in a grave manner, “you… you can’t possibly be a cultivator from coste galaxy’s peripheral galaxy?”

“nope.” duan ling tian looked at nok meaningfully as he said, “i seem to recall you asking your two companions to kill me just a while ago…” a spine-chilling killing intent rose from the depths of his eyes when he spoke.

“sir, i might have asked them to kill you. however, you should’ve already vented your frustration by killing them so why don’t we leave the matter at this?” nok, naturally, had no intention of opposing duan ling tian after witnessing duan ling tian’s strength. he was not even certain if he could kill duan ling tian. even if he could, he would still be reluctant to kill duan ling tian now. after all, it was entirely possible that duan ling tian had an extraordinary background, based on his strength. it would be fine if the force behind duan ling tian was not as strong as the force behind him. however, it would be bad if the force behind duan ling tian was stronger than his. at that time, he would cause the annihilation of his family. all sorts of similar examples have been made in yan huang realm.

“my apologies.” duan ling tian shook his head at nok’s request, “put aside the fact that i’ve never been one to show mercy to those who try to kill me, i’m afraid my friend won’t spare your life either. sometimes, a man has to pay for the words he has spoken.”

duan ling tian might have spoken calmly, but it caused the expression on nok’s face to change drastically.

“don’t waste your breath on him,” tang xiao xiao who was hovering in the air said after duan ling tian finished speaking. similarly, she did not cast any techniques at all. before nok could even react, she had already appeared in front of him.

nok’s expression hardened as he said coldly, “you can’t kill me! i’m from the garnier family. i…”

before nok finished speaking, tang xiao xiao moved her hand at lightning speed.

a rivet was embedded on nok’s glabella. the rivet was the most simple and ordinary weapon in tang xiao xiao’s arsenal. she had thousands upon thousands of them stored in her spatial ring. she did not bother to retrieve the rivet after killing nok since it was not valuable at all and she had many of them. her expression was deathly calm as she watched nok’s body fall from the air. “garnier family? never heard of them!” then, she turned to duan ling tian and said with a smile, “let’s go.”

“mm.” duan ling tian nodded.

the pair left as though nothing had happened. duan ling tian did not rush tang xiao xiao either. both of them casually rose into the sky and left the planet behind, heading toward the vast starry sky.

“are all the inhabitants in galaxies that are governed by science and technology non-cultivators?” duan ling tian did not rush tang xiao xiao because of a few questions that had appeared in his mind. he looked to her for answers. after all, science and technology did not exist in saint province realm. although science and technology existed on earth, their technology was like a baby who had just begun to learn how to walk compared to the technology he had just witnessed.

“didn’t you scan their bodies when you used your divine consciousness to probe them?” tang xiao xiao replied to duan ling tian’s question with a question. “their body structures are different from ours… while they have meridians in their bodies like us, but they’re disjointed. that’s why they can’t cultivate. however, cultivators who have reached a certain level can perform meridian cleansing and allow them to cultivate. since there are so many of these people, it would be unrealistic to perform meridian cleansing on every one of them. under these circumstances, these people carved another path for themselves and turned to science and technology… you shouldn’t underestimate their scientific knowledge. the two mechas we encountered are nothing compared to yan huang realm’s most advanced technology.”

duan ling tian listened to tang xiao xiao as they left the coste galaxy’s home planet, planet sattel, and entered the boundless starry sky, traversing into outer space.

…

meanwhile, in planet sattel. in a large high-tech modern city.

rapid breathing could be heard from the top floor of a large building that resembled optimus prime.

a projection appeared in the biggest office on the top floor of the high-rise building.

if duan ling tian were here, he would have recognized the man and woman in the projection. it was none other than him and tang xiao xiao. a corpse fell from the sky in front of tang xiao xiao at this moment.
