War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
chapter-351

Eternal Jade Restaurant.

Duan Ling Tian and the others all sat around the table as they gulped down the fragrant and steaming hot dishes.

"It’s too good! No wonder Big Brother Zhang said we would even wish for nothing more than to swallow our own tongues… Big Sister Wang Qiong, your culinary skill is too good." Li Fei praised as she ate.

"If you like it, then eat more. If there isn’t enough, I’ll just go make more." Wang Qiong smiled to Li Fei, and her beautiful eyes had tender affection mixed within. She had heartfelt love towards this little sister.

After their meal, Wang Qiong started to clear the dishes and Zhang Shou Yong went to the kitchen to help as well.

Duan Ling Tian and Li Fei sat before the tabled and rested, and were prepared to rest for a while before bidding their farewells to Zhang Shou Yong and Wang Qiong.

"Senior Withered, they’re within the restaurant." Suddenly, a clear voice sounded out by Duan Ling Tian’s ear, the sound resounded out from outside the Eternal Jade Restaurant and approached swiftly…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian heard three ear piercing sounds of wind howling enter his ear.

In the blink of an eye, three figures had appeared before him.

Two middle aged men stood at the back, one in azure clothes, another in red clothes, and their faces were exactly similar. Obviously, they were twin brothers.

Before these two middle aged men stood a withered old man, the old man’s body was frail, like bones covered in skin, and he seemed as if a gust of wind would be able to blow him down…

Duan Ling Tian didn’t dare look down on the old man because of this.

He was able to discern that amongst the three people before him, the old man in the lead was the most terrifying.

Relying on his Spiritual Force and the experiences of the Rebirth Martial Emperor, he was able to see through the cultivation of the two middle aged men, and they were both fourth level Void Prying Stage martial artists.

As for the old man, his Spiritual Force stretched out but it was like a stone sinking in a great sea.

The old man was very likely an existence at the Void Initiation Stage!

Duan Ling Tian’s face sank.

"It’s him?" Duan Ling Tian saw the old man abruptly speak, his muddy eyes emitting dense cold lights the instant the old man’s gaze descended onto Duan Ling Tian. The old man seemed as if he was waiting for a chance to swallow Duan Ling Tian up.

Duan Ling Tian’s heart jerked.

This old man’s target is me?

"Yes." Meanwhile, the azure clothed middle aged man behind the old man hurriedly nodded. "Senior Withered, the two of us saw him kill you grandson with our own two eyes… The servant by your grandson’s side was killed by this seventh level Void Prying Stage martial artist." The gaze of the azure clothed middle aged man first descended onto Duan Ling Tian, then he looked at Xiong Quan who was beside Duan Ling Tian.

What the azure clothed middle aged man said caused Duan Ling Tian’s pupils to constrict.

He finally knew what was going on.

So it turned out that what he had done at the foot of Solitary Summit this morning had been exposed.

This old man that seemed to be a Void Initiation Stage expert was actually the grandfather of the blue clothed young man he’d killed?

He recalled it now, before his death, the blue clothed young man seemed to have mentioned this old man.

But under his violent rage at that time, how could Duan Ling Tian have paid any attention to him?

However, even if he now knew that there was an existence that seemed to be at the Void Initiation Stage behind the blue clothed young man, he still didn’t have a shred of regret. Not only had that blue clothed young man dared be disrespectful to Little Fei, the blue clothed young man had even tried to kill him…

He deserved death!

He could imagine that if it wasn’t for himself being protected by Xiong Quan, the person that had died this morning wouldn’t have been the young man, but him instead.

So he didn’t regret it!

If he were to really talk about regret, then what Duan Ling Tian regretted the most now was not seeing the two corpses’ burn to ash with his own two eyes…

Although he didn’t see it, he was able to roughly guess what happened after he set the corpses aflame.

It should be that when he and Xiong Quan did the deed, it was seen by the two twin brothers behind the old man.

Later on, one of them went to tip off the old man, while the other followed them all the way here…

"Looks like what Big Brother Zhang noticed earlier was the people that were following us." Duan Ling Tian recalled that before their lunch, Zhang Shou Yong had asked if he’d brought anyone else over.

For a time, Duan Ling Tian’s heart was clear as a mirror.

"Why did you kill my grandson?" The withered old man’s sharp gaze descended onto Duan Ling Tian, and it seemed to transform into a bloodthirsty venomous snake that would bite Duan Ling Tian at any moment.

Duan Ling Tian could feel the old man’s killing intent that was difficult to restrain.

"He deserved death!" Duan Ling Tian’s gaze went slightly cold, and he spoke with a cold tone that contained killing intent mixed within.

Since it had come to this, Duan Ling Tian knew he didn’t have any choice, any he could only go at it head-on.

Now, he still wasn’t sure that the old man was a Void Initiation Stage expert.

Perhaps, he still had a chance.

He’d already sent a voice transmission to Xiong Quan, asking Xiong Quan to await for the opportunity to launch a surprise attack at the old man and strive to kill him in one attack.

"Deserved death?" The withered old man was stunned when he heard Duan Ling Tian.

In next to no time, his gaze descended onto Li Fei who was beside Duan Ling Tian…

Presently, Li Fei hadn’t worn her veil yet, and her drop dead gorgeous face was unobstructed.

When he saw Li Fei, a fierce light flickered within the withered old man’s eyes, and he said in a deep voice. "Looks like my grandson was destroyed because of a woman…"

Obviously, the old man knew his grandson very well.

Now that he saw Li Fei, he easily guessed some things.

Duan Ling Tian’s face went grim when he felt the bloodthirsty killing intent towards Li Fei that was emitted by the withered old man, and he stood up in a hurry to stand before Li Fei and block this bloodthirsty killing intent for her.

"Hmph!" Duan Ling Tian’s expression was cold and indifferent, and his waist and back were straight. When faced with the old man’s bloodthirsty killing intent, he wasn’t afraid in the slightest as he stood there, immovable like a mountain.

"Scoundrel." When the old man’s killing intent enveloped her, Li Fei felt as if she was within a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The suffocating feeling caused extreme discomfort to her.

Now, Duan Ling Tian was standing before her, and at the same time that this caused her to feel warmth in her heart, she was also slightly worried.

"Hmm?" When the old man saw this, his white brows rose and he grunted coldly. "Kid, needless to say, you’re not bad… But unfortunately, today, you must die! As the saying goes, women are a source of disaster. Remember to stay far away from women in your next life…"

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Origin Energy flickered atop the withered old man’s hand.

Whoosh!

Right at this moment, an ear piercing sound of something tearing through the sky carried along a string of sounds of air exploding had suddenly echoed out.

It was Xiong Quan who’s been waiting for an opportunity all along.

When he saw his Young Master’s life in danger, Xiong Quan’s body flashed out, transforming into a lightning bolt as he flashed towards the withered old man.

Swoosh!

A dazzling sword light shot out violently, it was like a venomous snake that had left its burrow as it struck towards the old man while carrying along traces of an extremely terrifying aura.

Advanced Sword Force!

The energy of heaven and earth roiled in the sky, then first an ancient horned dragon silhouette appeared, then almost 5,000 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared to surround it, they were like twinkling stars that were surrounding the bright moon.

Xiong Quan exerted his full strength at the moment he attacked, without holding back in the slightest!

He desired to kill the old man directly.

"Advanced Sword Force?" The old man’s slightly muddle eyes squinted, and his voice contained a trace of surprise.

Then.

"Trifling skill!" The old man sneered, and he casually raised his hand to intercept Xiong Quan.

Instantly, the energy of heaven and earth roiled above the old man, and in the end, it condensed into two ancient horned dragon silhouettes…

The old man didn’t utilize a spirit weapon, nor did he utilize a Void Initiation Stage experts ‘Concept.’

He only attack purely with Origin Energy, and it was already comparable to the strength of two ancient horned dragons!

"First level Void Initiation Stage!" Duan Ling Tian’s pupils constricted and his face went pale, then he shouted out abruptly. "Xiong Quan, watch out!"

Meanwhile, Xiong Quan had noticed the two ancient horned dragon silhouettes above the old man, and he instantly realized that the old man was a first level Void Initiation Stage expert…

His face couldn’t help but go pale.

Slap!

The old man raised his hand and grabbed out, easily seizing the grade seven spirit sword in Xiong Quan’s hands.

At this moment, Xiong Quan’s seventh level Void Prying Stage strength, the amplified strength from his grade seven spirit sword, and even the Advanced Sword Force were all so weak, like paper.

"Move!" Duan Ling Tian’s acute Spiritual Force vaguely detected that the old man was about to attack with his sword, so Duan Ling Tian shouted out explosively again to warn Xiong Quan.

Due to his trust towards Duan Ling Tian, Xiong Quan didn’t hesitate in the slightest when he heard Duan Ling Tian, and his legs stomped on the ground as his strength of one ancient horned dragon exploded out fully, desiring to dodge the attack coming from the side.

Whoosh!

At practically the instant Xiong Quan moved, the grade seven spirit sword in the withered old man’s hand that he’d seized from Xiong Quan was like a stroke of the gods as it flashed out directly towards Xiong Quan.

This sword strike was originally flashing straight for Xiong Quan’s heart.

It was precisely because of Duan Ling Tian’s warning that seemed like foresight that Xiong Quan was able to dodge a moment earlier, allowing his heart to escape by a hair’s breadth.

However, even then, the grade seven spirit sword still pierced into Xiong Quan’s body like piercing through dry leaves.

Hitting right on his Dantian!

Pu!

Fresh blood sprayed out, transforming into numerous red roses.

Xiong Quan’s body fiercely flew out, knocking over a few tables as he flew.

"No! No!!" Xiong Quan’s voice was in panic, and after he dropped to the ground, he fiercely clenched his fists.

However, what appeared above him now wasn’t an ancient horned dragon any longer… It was instead an ancient mammoth silhouette!

Ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage!

His Dantian had been crippled by the sword strike of the withered old man, and he’d lost all the Origin Energy in his body. All that remained was a cultivation at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage…

Xiong Quan roared for a short moment, then stopped and had a dejected expression.

Right at this moment, a wave of clamorous sound echoed out.

It was the crowd of customers on the second floor of the Eternal Jade Restaurant that were watching the events unfold, and when they saw the matter had developed to this extent, they were extremely afraid it would affect them. So, they all put down their money and left in panic, rushing to leave the restaurant.

"Xiong Quan!" Duan Ling Tian glanced at Xiong Quan, and his eyes went crimson red and his face was terrifyingly gloomy.

A trace of guilt arose within his heart.

If it wasn’t for him wanting to go to Solitary Summit, Xiong Quan wouldn’t have been here, and nothing would have happened to him…

During all these years that Xiong Quan had followed by his side, Xiong Quan had exerted himself to the utmost limit to handle work for Duan Ling Tian, and didn’t complain in the slightest.

Duan Ling Tian had always been grateful for this in his heart.

Now, because of him, Xiong Quan’s cultivation was crippled… He felt as if he’d been crippled.

When he heard Duan Ling Tian’s explosive shout, Xiong Quan raised his head, and when he noticed Duan Ling Tian’s gaze, he couldn’t help but force a smile. "Young Master, I’m fine… I only lost my Origin Energy, my Advanced Sword Force is still here. No one beneath the Void Prying Stage is able to defend against a single strike of my sword!"

The Advanced Sword Force was a type of deep comprehension of a Void Prying Stage martial artists towards the sword.

It had separated itself from Origin Energy, and was comparable to the strength of 2,000 ancient mammoths!
