Chapter 2668 Killing An Inner-estate Elder

After hearing the discussion in the surroundings, Duan Ling Tian concluded that it had to be a primitive Celestial Method.

Liu Qian who had grown to 100 feet tall, thunderously roared, “Brat, die!” In just a blink of an eye, a terrifying shockwave rippled out into surroundings, sweeping through everyone present on the scene.

Many members of the Liu Clan with a weaker cultivation base felt their eardrums rupturing and began to bleed from their seven orifices.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Liu Qian waved his arm, swatting at Duan Ling Tian as though he was trying to squash a bug.

Duan Ling Tian discovered sword rays shooting out of Liu Qian’s palm. The sword qi surrounded him as though it was trying to cut off his escape routes.

Liu Qian’s palms drew closer and closer to Duan Ling Tian. Based on the current situation, it would take no time at all before Liu Qian’s palms squashed Duan Ling Tian.

“Elder Liu Qian truly doesn’t hold back once he decides to act. It seems like he’s not underestimating this purple-clad young man!”

“That’s to be expected. After all, this brat easily killed Elder Liu Qing. Although Elder Liu Qian’s not a Violet Sun Golden Celestial, he’s still renowned among Indigo Sun Golden Celestials!”

“Elder Liu Qian is far stronger than ordinary Violet Sun Golden Celestials… Even if this brat is a Violet Sun Golden Celestial, Elder Liu Qian is still capable of making him suffer.”

“Even if the brat doesn’t die, he’d be severely injured…”

The elders from the Liu clan discussed among themselves, their eyes did not Duan Ling Tian and Liu Qian. It was as though they were afraid to miss even the smallest detail of the battle.

Just as Liu Qian’s palms were about to land on Duan Ling Tian, his cold voice rang in the air. “Let’s see if you’re actually capable of killing me…”

Everyone present in the Liu clan’s mansion clearly heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the area in between Liu Qian’s palms suddenly shone with a dazzling light. Upon closer inspection, one would see the lights came from sword rays that were much more brilliant than Liu Qian’s sword rays. They made Liu Qian’s sword rays pale in comparison. It was as though a phoenix had appeared among a flock of chickens.

The white light shone with such intensity that it caused everyone to squint their eyes.

Xiu!

A sword cry rang in the air at this moment accompanied by the sound of a miserable shriek.

“That’s…Liu Qian’s voice!” Pang Bing’s expression changed drastically. A hint of relief could be seen in his eyes. He felt fortunate that he did not act first. He continued to watch as the bright sword rays severed the hands of Liu Qian who had grown 100 feet tall. At the same time, Liu Qian was sent flying back.

When Liu Qian finally landed in the distance, everyone regained their senses one after another. They watched as Liu Qian’s body shrank to its original size. He seemed to have lost his arms as well.

Liu Qian’s face was ghastly pale as blood trickled out from the corners of his mouth. The Celestial Sword that was as thin as a cicada’s wings hovered next to him, its light had dimmed. Regardless if it was Liu Qian or the Celestial Sword, both were like an arrow that was at the end of its flight.

“You… Who the hell are you? If you’re from Nine Specter County, you can’t be a nobody! Your strength is very close to that of a Great Overarching Golden Celestial… Not many people below Great Overarching Golden Celestials are your opponents!” Although the duration of the fight was short, Liu Qian was keenly aware of Duan Ling Tian’s strength. He could tell Duan Ling Tian was a level stronger than Pang Bing who was widely known as the strongest powerhouse below Great Overarching Golden Celestials in Nine Specters County!

Upon hearing Liu Qian’s words, many people began to shift their attention to Pang Bing. After all, Liu Qian’s words seemed to indicate the purple-clad young man might be even stronger than Pang Bing.

“I’m… not as strong as him,” Pang Bing said with a sigh, under everyone’s watchful eyes. His eyes were filled with wariness when he turned back to look at Duan Ling Tian.

“Im-Impossible! How’s this possible?!” Liu Zuo Lin cried out. His face was ashen. He had confidence in Liu Qian initially. Who knew, in just a blink of an eye, Liu Qian would be thoroughly defeated? Moreover, even Pang Bing admitted he was no match for Duan Ling Tian.

The expression of Pang Yuan, who was standing next to Liu Zuo Lin, turned unsightly. She finally understood the gravity of the situation. Even with the reinforcement, there was nothing the Liu clan could do to the purple-clad young man. Out of fear, she hastily said, “Brother-in-law! Hurry up and notify Lord County Governor!”

In Pang Yuan’s opinion, the County Governor of Nine Specters County, Tian Ji Yu, was definitely stronger than the purple-clad young man. After all, Tian Ji Yu was a true blue Great Overarching Golden Celestial. She was certain the purple-clad young man, regardless of how strong he was, would definitely die if he went against a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. The difference in strength between a Great Overarching Golden Celestial and a peak Golden Celestial was like an insurmountable chasm after all.

As soon as Pang Yuan finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian’s voice rang in the air, causing the onlookers’ hearts to palpitate in fear. “Since you want to know I am, you can take your time and ponder on it during your journey to the underworld!”

A thought appeared in everyone’s minds at this moment. ‘He’s going to kill Elder Liu Qian?’

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, countless sword rays flew out and converged into a sword Formation that emitted a domineering aura.

“This technique…” Pang Bing’s eyes widened slightly. He vaguely remembered hearing something about this technique. It seemed familiar to him.

“You dare to kill me!? If you kill me, Lord County Governor will never let you go…” Liu Qian who was gravely injured mentioned the County Governor in hopes of saving his own life. He could sense the domineering aura from the sword Formation and knew he did not stand a chance against it. His expression was grim when he spoke up to preserve his life. He was quite certain Duan Ling Tian would not dare to kill him.

Contrary to Liu Qian’s expectation, Duan Ling Tian completely disregarded him. The sword Formation continued flying out before it finally landed on Liu Qian, killing him. A shower of blood rained down in just an instant. No traces were left of him except for a Spatial Ring that Duan Ling Tian collected.

Silence descended on the entire place.

Liu Dong Ping looked at Duan Ling Tian incredulously. “You… You actually dare to kill my second brother! Lord… Lord County Governor won’t let you go for this!” He still could not believe the purple-clad young man was so bold as to kill his second brother. After all, his second brother was an inner-estate elder in the County Governor’s estate and was under the County Governor’s protection.

“Second uncle… He… He even dared to kill second uncle?” Liu Zuo Lin’s face turned pale. He was so frightened that his body began to tremble. The strongest person in the Liu Clan had been so easily killed, how could someone like him survive?

Duan Ling Tian looked at Liu Zuo Lin as he said indifferently, “What I said earlier still stands. If you kill Liu Zuo Lin and give me 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones, I’ll let this matter slide.”

Liu Zuo Lin cried out, “Earlier, didn’t you say you’d spare my life as long as my family gives you 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones? Why are you asking for my life, in addition to the 100,000 prominent Celestial Stones, now?”

“If all of you had obediently agreed to it from the start, I, naturally, wouldn’t increase the stakes. However, since you’ve wasted my time, it’s only fair that I demand more,” Duan Ling Tian said flippantly.

“You…” Liu Zuo Lin could not come up with a retort. His face remained pale, and his eyes seemed to have turned into pits of despair at this moment. Was there anyone left who could save him at this moment?”

“Who is it? Who dares to kill my inner-estate elder?” A powerful voice brimming with energy and anger suddenly rang from the direction of the County Governor’s estate.

Upon hearing this voice, the members of the Liu clan seemed to have seen a ray of hope. Their expressions brightened immediately.

“It’s Lord County Governor!”

The despair in Liu Zuo Lin’s eyes was replaced with a look of delight.

Duan Ling Tian turned to Pang Bing and said indifferently, “Elder Pang Bing, it seems like, in the end, you didn’t heed my advice.” He had seen Pang Bing using a Communication Celestial Talisman earlier. It was clear he had summoned the County Governor of Nine Specters County. Otherwise, the County Governor would not have reacted so quickly.
