War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
chapter-4473

Now that they were found, Tan Xiu Teng thought that it was very unlikely that he would survive this encounter. In his opinion, he would have a better chance of surviving if Duan Ling Tian or Hu Fei Yan was willing to use the life-saving methods given to them by their respective supreme powerhouses. However, these life-saving methods were meant for their use. These people only targeted him, not Duan Ling Tian and Hu Fei Yan. Under such circumstances, let alone Hu Fei Yan, would Duan Ling Tian be willing to use the life-saving methods to protect him? It was not that he thought Duan Ling Tian or Hu Fei Yan were ruthless, but if he were in their shoes, he would not have used such an important thing to protect an unimportant person as well. He was aware of his importance to the duo. Nonetheless, even if Duan Ling Tian were to give up on him now, he would not have any complaints. He felt that Duan Ling Tian was already very kind to protect him previously.

"Oh, they tracked us all the way here…" Hu Fei Yan murmured as she narrowed her eyes and looked at the people in the Mirror Image coldly, "Zhong Yue and Leng Jing are afraid of offending Miss Linghu, but they dare to do this. Do they think I'm a pushover?"

Hu Fei Yan had a good impression of Linghu Yun Di, but she could not tolerate others looking down on her while they acted deferentially toward Linghu Yun Di. After all, she did not think she was inferior to Linghu Yun Di. Although she was not a match for Linghu Yun Di, she was a few thousand years younger than Linghu Yun Di. She thought that she would not be any weaker than Linghu Yun Di when she was Linghu Yun Di's age. Since they were both female cultivators, she could not help but compare herself to Linghu Yun Di.

With all these thoughts in mind, Hu Fei Yan grew even more furious as she looked at Zhong Yue and Leng Jing.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian had already risen to his feet at this moment. His gaze was cold, and he seemed to be muttering something under his breath. After a short moment, his gaze turned excited like a hunter who had found his prey after a long search.

At this moment, Tan Xiu Teng said with a sigh, "Young master, Deputy Commander Hu, if there's no other way, you should hand me over to them. I'm quite certain that if you do that, they won't trouble you any longer."

Tan Xiu Teng's words were not perfunctory. He sincerely felt that it was not necessary for Duan Ling Tian and Hu Fei Yan to offend the people in front of them. This matter would be resolved as long as the duo handed him over. After all, those people would certainly prefer not to burn bridges with the duo.

Duan Ling Tian and Hu Fei Yan did not pay attention to Tan Xiu Teng's words.

"Since they're here, let's go out and meet them," Duan Ling Tian said calmly before he flew out of the flying ship, followed by Hu Fei Yan.

Although Tan Xiu Teng's heart was heavy, he left the flying ship as well. After all, he knew the outcome would be the same whether he left the flying ship or not. At this moment, he had completely lost all hope of surviving.

Duan Ling Tian stood in front of the flying ship, across from the group of people.

Hu Fei Yan stood next to Duan Ling Tian, and her beautiful eyes were cold as she asked, "Zhong Yue, what do you mean by this? You left earlier, but now you returned? What? Now that Miss Linghu isn't here, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Hu Fei Yan was infuriated when she thought about how Zhong Yue and Leng Jing were looking down on her.

Faced with the furious Hu Fei Yan, before Zhong Yue could respond, Leng Jing said in a friendly tone, "You're the Deputy Commander of the Colossal Heaven Army and the adoptive daughter of the Commander of the Colossal Heaven Army. How dare we bully you? We're here for the murderer of Zhong Yue's junior brother. We have no ill intentions toward you or the young man next to you."

Hu Fei Yan scoffed. "As long as I'm here, don't even think about laying your hands on him!"

As soon as Hu Fei Yan's voice fell, her Divine Energy, imbued with her law, burst forth from her body. The hem of her robes fluttered in the wind as her eyes burned with battle intent.

Hu Fei Yan said loudly and confidently, "Zhong Yue, let's settle today's matter with a fight between us. If you manage to subdue me within 100 moves, I'll hand him over to you. If not, you'll retreat with your people. What do you think?"

In fact, as soon as Hu Fei Yan learned of Zhong Yue's identity, she had been itching to fight with him. However, due to Linghu Yun Di's presence, she did not get to fight with Zhong Yue. She knew a little about Zhong Yue and was confident that she was not any weaker than him. She knew that it was impossible for Zhong Yue to subdue her within 100 moves.

Upon hearing these words, the eyes of Tan Xiu Teng, who was certain of his death, lit up with hope. After a brief moment, he turned to look at Hu Fei Yan with eyes shining with gratitude. Although there was no guarantee she would win, she had given him a sliver of hope, which was better than nothing.

On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian did not react to Hu Fei Yan's words at all. He was rather apathetic. He did not think there was anything wrong with Hu Fei Yan's words. However, Tan Xiu Teng had sworn on the Heaven Vault's Blood Oath and was his subordinate as long the contract did not expire. As such, he felt it was his duty to protect Tan Xiu Teng, who had nothing to do with Hu Fei Yan.

At this time, after hearing Hu Fei Yan's words, Zhong Yue said with a sneer, "Hu Fei Yan, I only addressed you as Deputy Commander Hu for your godfather's sake. Do you think this is the Colossal Heaven Army's territory? Unlike you, I have the upper hand in this situation. Why should I agree to you and let you have your way?"

After that, without waiting for Hu Fei Yan's reply, Zhong Yue waved his hand and said, "Leng Jing, you and Elder Zhong Ming keep the two of them occupied. The Black Profound Guards will spread out to disrupt the space and stop them from leaving. I'll personally kill the person who killed my junior brother!"

As soon as Zhong Yue's voice fell, his eyes that shifted to Tan Xiu Teng, who was standing behind Duan Ling Tian and Hu Fei Yan, burned with killing intent.
