âNot only do I dare to kill your brother, but I dare to kill you as well!â After killing Yuan Hong, Duan Ling Tian looked at Yuan Kuang with blood-curdling killing intent, causing shivers to run up Yuan Kuangâs spine. Not only that, but at this moment, Yuan Kuang was so afraid that his body had even begun to tense up.
When he saw Duan Ling Tian threw the body of his brother, Yuan Hong, to him with just a raise of his hand, he finally moved to catch his brotherâs body as he suppressed the terror in his heart.
âRun!â Yuan Kuan thought to himself. As soon as he caught Yuan Hongâs body, he no longer dared to act recklessly when he recalled Duan Ling Tianâs words and tried to hurriedly leave with his brotherâs body.
Whoosh!
However, as soon as Yuan Kuang tried to leave with Yuan Hongâs body, the area within a 100-meter of Duan Ling Tian was shrouded in a golden light. Duan Ling Tian, Yuan Kung, and Yuan Hong were all hidden by the 10,000 Swords Territory, disappearing from the view of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum.
âDid Duan Ling Tian say he wants to kill Yuan Kuang earlier?â
âItâs not enough that he killed Yuan Hong, but he wants to kill Yuan Kuang as well?â
âIt seems like Duan Ling Tian knows heâs in trouble now and is acting recklessly. He knows that heâll be sentenced to death for killing Yuan Hong, it doesnât matter now even if he kills Yuan Kuang!â
âItâs the Yuan Brotherâs bad luck for encountering such a ruthless person who doesnât even care about his own life!â
âDuan Ling Tian is really too ruthless!â
The Vermilion Bird Sanctumâs disciples whispered among themselves. Terror could be heard in their tones as they spoke about Duan Ling Tian.
They all agreed that Duan Ling Tian was a ruthless person!
After consolidating the 10,000 Swords Territory, before he made a move on Yuan Kuang, he looked at Gu Li who was standing next to him and said, âSenior Brother Gu Li, Iâll send you out first!â
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he mobilized the Sun Saint Energy in his body. Before Gu Li even had time to respond, he was already sent out of the 10,000 Swords Territory.
In the next instant, Gu Liâs body appeared before the Vermilion Bird Sanctumâs disciples. He naturally attracted their attention.
âItâs him!â
âDuan Ling Tian seems to be seeking revenge for him. I wonder what relationship does he have with Duan Ling Tian?â
Gu Li, naturally, became the center of everyoneâs attention since they could not see the situation inside the 10,000 Swords Territory.
âI heard Duan Ling Tian addressing him as Senior Brother...â
âI remember him. I entered the Fire Worship Sect at the same time with Duan Ling Tian. He was selected to go to the Black Turtle Sanctum while I was selected to come here. I remember they were together at that time.â
âIn that case, it means that Gu Li must have a close relationship with Duan Ling Tian even before they entered the Fire Worship Sect?â
âIsnât this obvious? Didnât you hear Gu Li calling Duan Ling Tian Senior Brother? They must have been disciples from the same sect before they came to the Fire Worship Sect!â
âIf thatâs the case, itâs no wonder Duan Ling Tian was so furious to the point that he would even kill Yuan Hong!â
The Vermillion Birdâs disciples whispered among themselves again. They did not agree with how impulsively Duan Ling Tian had acted by killing Yuan Hong. In their opinion, Duan Ling Tian was just seeking death by doing so. He would probably have to pay with his life for violating the Fire Worship Sectâs rules and killing a fellow disciple.
âJunior Brother Ling Tian!â Gu Li who was sent out by did not pay attention to the Vermilion Bird Sanctumâs disciples. Horror dawned on his face when he regained his senses.
When he recalled the words Duan Ling Tian had said to Yuan Kuang, it was not difficult for him to guess the reason why he was sent out. It was so that Gu Li would not be implicated in the matter.
If he was also inside Duan Ling Tianâs Territory when Yuan Kuang died, he would definitely be implicated. No one would believe him at all even if he swore to the high heavens that he did not kill him.
...
In the 10,000 Swords Territory, Duan Ling Tian walked toward Yuan Kuang step by step.
Thud! Thud! Thud
Every step of Duan Ling Tianâs made Yuan Kuang feel as though there was a pressure on his heart. He was extremely afraid now. His breathing had quickened.
âW-What are you trying to do?!â Yuan Kuan held onto Yuan Hongâs body as he stepped back with a fearful expression on his face when he saw Duan Ling Tian continued making his way toward him.
âWhat else is there to do? Iâm going to kill you, of course!â Duan Ling Tian replied nonchalantly as though he was speaking about some unimportant matter.
âNo! You canât do that! If you kill me, youâll be violating the sectâs rules! The Fire Worship Sect wonât let you go!â Yuan Kuang said with a trembling voice as his eyes widened in terror.
âHavenât I already violated the rules when I killed your brother?â Duan Ling Tian sneered when he heard Yuan Kuangâs words. He said disdainfully, âTo the Fire Worship Sect, thereâs no difference if I kill Yuan Hong or if I kill both of you!â
Swish!
Horror dawned on Yuan Kuang again when he heard Duan Ling Tianâs words. He knew he was in grave danger at this moment. Various expressions flitted across Yuan Kuangâs face when he realized he was on the brink of death.
Finally, he kneeled in the air and continuously kowtowed at Duan Ling Tian.
âS-Senior Brother Ling Tian! Senior Brother Ling Tian, please forgive me! Iâm willing to apologize to Senior Brother Gu Li! If you let me live, Senior Brother Gu Li can do anything he wants to me to seek revenge. I havenât lived long enough, Iâm not willing to die! I really donât want to die! Senior Brother Ling Tian, if youâre willing to let me go, Iâll stand witness and say that my brother, Yuan Hong, was the one who wanted to kill you, and you merely acted out of self-defense! It serves him right for dying! As long as Iâm willing to become your witness, you wonât be violating the Fire Worship Sectâs rule!â In order to survive, Yuan Kuang did not even hesitate to betray his brother.
Although Yuan Hong wanted to kill Duan Ling Tian, due to his fear of the Fire Worship Sectâs rules, it did not cross his mind to kill him at all. He merely planned to beat Duan Ling Tian up so badly that he would wish for death instead!
A hint of disgust flashed in the depth of Duan Ling Tianâs eyes when he heard Yuan Kuangâs words.
When Yuan Hong attacked him earlier, although he did not show any mercy, there was no killing intent at all. It was obvious Yuan Hong had no plans of killing him. Naturally, Duan Ling Tian knew it was not because Yuan Hong was merciful. He was just afraid of violating the Fire Worship Sectâs rule instead.
Although Yuan Hong was afraid of the Fire Worship Sectâs rule, it did not mean Duan Ling Tian was afraid as well!
The moment Duan Ling Tian saw the Yuan Brothers tortured and humiliated Gu Li, he had already sentenced them to death. Now that Yuan Hong is dead, there was only Yuan Kuang left.
âThere are always consequences to our actions. This applies to everyone.â When Duan Ling Tian saw Yuan Kuang did not even hesitate to betray his brother to save his own life, Duan Ling Tian no longer bothered wasting time talking to him.
As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly killed Yuan Kuang.
It was still as simple, straightforward, and brutal!
Even Yuan Hong who was at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage had been killed by Duan Ling Tian, naturally, it was easy for him to kill Yuan Kuang who was only at the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage.
âElder Huo!â After killing the Yuan Brothers, Duan Ling Tian immediately called out to Elder Huo.
He wanted to ask Elder Huo to guide his Divine Consciousness so that he can locate and grab hold of their Innate Spiritual Roots that were located in their souls.
It was obvious he planned to devour both their Innate Spiritual Roots! Currently, he was desperate to raise the level of his Innate Spiritual Root.
The Yuan brothers could only count themselves unlucky for putting their heads on the chopping board for Duan Ling Tian.
Naturally, the reason Duan Ling Tian decided to kill them was not due to their Innate Spiritual Roots. It was to seek revenge for Gu Li. The idea of devouring their Innate Spiritual Roots only appeared in his mind when he was fighting Yuan Hong.
Due to this reason, he killed Yuan Hong and risked the punishment for violating the Fire Worship Sectâs rule. Moreover, he had even killed Yuan Kuang.
âHe has a dark green Innate Spiritual Root.â Elder Huoâs Divine Consciousness guided Duan Ling Tianâs Divine Consciousness into Yuan Hongâs soul. Dark green Innate Spiritual Roots were the best green Innate Spiritual Roots.
âItâs the same as my Innate Spiritual Root?â Duan Ling Tian became excited when he heard Elder Huoâs words.
If Yuan Hongâs Innate Spiritual Root was bad, Duan Ling Tian was not sure if his Innate Spiritual Root would improve to the blue Innate Spiritual Root after devouring Yuan Hongâs Innate Spiritual Root.
After he heard Elder Huoâs words, he felt more confident.
âThereâs also Yuan Kuangâs Innate Spiritual Root...â Moreover, Duan Ling Tian would be able to devour two Innate Spiritual Roots.
After Duan Ling Tian devoured Yuan Hongâs Innate Spiritual Root, his Innate Spiritual Root underwent a huge transformation.
âYou have a light blue Innate Spiritual Root now. Congratulations!â Elder Huoâs voice rang in Duan Ling Tianâs ears. He was beside himself with joy when he heard Elder Huoâs words.
The blue Innate Spiritual Root! He had raised the level of his Innate Spiritual Root to blue, it was no longer green!
âCurrently, the speed of me sensing and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy should be two times faster than before!â Duan Ling Tian could feel the difference as he tried to sense and absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.
It was a huge transformation that greatly satisfied Duan Ling Tian.
