Chapter 2271 - Especially Jealous

“Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?”

Both Lin Yuan and Peng Lai frowned when they heard the whispered conversation from the patrolling disciples of Wandering Saint Palace. After they questioned the patrolling disciples through Voice Transmission, they also learned that Chen Tong who was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial was killed by Duan Ling Tian with just two moves.

Duan Ling Tian is so strong?’ Peng Lai was shocked. Although he had heard that Duan Ling Tian was stronger than Miss Wen Jing of their Wandering Saint Palace, he did not think Duan Ling Tian would be stronger than Chen Tong who was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He even killed Chen Tong with just two moves. How could he not feel surprised? ‘Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base should already be at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, it’s unlikely that he’s stronger than Elder Lin Yuan. After all, if Elder Lin Yuan battles with Chen Tong, he could probably kill Chen Tong with just a move.’ Peng Lai was confident about Lin Yuan’s strength because it took Duan Ling Tian two moves to kill Chen Tong.

Meanwhile, the patrolling disciples from Wandering Saint Palace began to whisper among themselves again. Based on their words, it was obvious they had complete confidence in Lin Yuan as well.

“Although Duan Ling Tian is most likely at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he shouldn’t be stronger than Elder Lin Yuan!”

“Yes. Although Elder Lin Yuan is not at the peak of the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he had already broken through this stage for quite a while. He has to be stronger than Duan Ling Tian!”

“Elder Lin Yuan is definitely able to kill Chen Tong with just a move... This should mean he’s stronger than Duan Ling Tian.”

In fact, Lin Yuan’s thoughts were similar to the others as well.

“Duan Ling Tian! I’ll kill you today to avenge my grandson even if you’re at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!” Lin Yuan cried out as he glared at Duan Ling Tian coldly. His aura was filled with killing intent as Saint Origin laced with Devil Qi surged out of his body.

“F*ck!” Duan Ling Tian cursed, annoyed, once Lin Yuan finished speaking. In the next moment, he quickly cast his Divine Ability, “Elementary Devouring Tactic!”

While Lin Yuan’s Saint Origin was skyrocketing, Duan Ling Tian cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic as whirlpools began to appear around him. He could mobilize his Sun Saint Origin quickly due to his 99 Saint Veins. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was instantly pulled into his body, strengthening his Sun Saint Origin. In just an instant, Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Origin had been raised to the Eighth Form of the Saint Origin. His current Sun Saint Origin was definitely stronger than Lin Yuan’s Saint Origin

When the group of people saw Duan Ling Tian casting his techniques, they thought he would instantly attack Lin Yuan. However, contrary to their expectations...

“Golden Crow’s Wings!”

The group of people saw a pair of flaming wings sprouting out from Duan Ling Tian’s back. As soon as he flapped his wings, the sounds of explosions rang in the air.

Meanwhile, Ke’er and Gan Ru Yan were brought away by him in just a blink of an eye. Naturally, this included Duan Si Ling whom he was carrying in his arms.

Is he trying to escape?’ Most people had the same thought when they saw what was happening.

“Trying to escape?” Lin Yuan smirked, his eyes were filled with killing intent. He had finally finished mobilizing his Saint Origin. He instantly cast his movement martial tactics and movement Divine Ability. Apart from that, he also cast his assist-type Divine Ability to raise the strength of his Saint Origin.

When Lin Yuan moved, a long and piercing whistle rang in the air.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As he continued to move, the sounds of explosions reverberated in the air as well.

“Elder Lin Yuan is indeed stronger than Duan Ling Tian!” Peng Lai saw that Lin Yuan’s speed was faster than Duan Ling Tian. It seemed as though he had forgotten that Duan Ling Tian was carrying three other people with him. After a while, his eyes widened in shock when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s speed was on par with Lin Yuan’s speed when he moved again. “W-wait... He’s carrying three people with him...!” When he finally noticed this, he gulped.

Peng Lai continued to observe the scene before him. “When he changed places, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings would stir and enter his body. What kind assist-type Divine Ability did he master? Isn’t it enough for him to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in one area?” Since he was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, it did not take long for him to notice this.

Since Peng Lai had noticed this, how could Lin Yuan who was stronger fail to notice this?

“How’s this possible?” Lin Yuan’s eyes widened in disbelief as an ominous feeling rose in his heart. However, his hatred overwhelmed the alarms that were ringing in his mind.

“His assist-type Divine Ability has probably raised his Saint Origin to its highest level. Although I can’t catch up to him now, he still won’t be able to escape from me. Once the effect of his Divine Ability fades away, he will die!’ With this thought in mind, Lin Yuan continued to pursue Duan Ling Tian.

During this time, Lin Yuan noticed Duan Ling Tian would fly to various places and absorb all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings with this assist-type Divine Ability. Initially, he felt a jolt of fear when he thought of Duan Ling Tian further increasing his strength with his assist-type Divine Ability. However, when he saw that Duan Ling Tian’s speed was still only on par with his speed. He smirked. “How mysterious!” He was not afraid of Duan Ling Tian’s current strength.

However, was what Lin Yuan saw truly Duan Ling Tian’s current strength? Naturally, the answer was no.

In fact, after Duan Ling Tian absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the second place, his speed while carrying the three girls had already surpassed Lin Yuan’s speed. However, he did not see a need to increase his speed. He could still evade Lin Yuan by maintaining this speed. He quickly moved to another place to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy so he could raise his strength to that of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The patrolling disciples were stunned by the scene of Lin Yuan chasing Duan Ling Tian. It was not unlike a cat chasing a mouse. Although they could not see the two figures clearly, they were able to tell that their speed was the same. Otherwise, Lin Yuan would have caught up to Duan Ling Tian or Duan Ling Tian would have escaped.

“Duan Ling Tian’s speed seems faster in the beginning...”

“Hum! He’s only relying on his assist-type Divine Ability to increase his speed. His speed will decrease once the effect of his assist-type Divine Ability wears off!”

“However, it must be said that his assist-type Divine Ability is truly special. He’s actually able to maintain the same speed as Elder Lin Yuan even though he’s carrying three people with him.”

“I agree. It’s indeed special.”

The patrolling disciples, including Ding Jian Hong, discussed among themselves as they watched the scene before them. Although they could not see clearly, they could hear the noises. Even then, it did not stop them from staring intently at the two people. It was as though they were afraid of missing something.

There was something they had failed to notice again. If Duan Ling Tian would return to his original state after the effect of the assist-type Divine Ability disappeared, why did he not run away? Currently, he was only moving in circles. He showed no signs of wanting to leave the area at all.

After more than ten breaths, Duan Ling Tian muttered under his breath, “Finally!” He had finally raised his Sun Saint Origin to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was feeling very confident now that his body was filled with the explosive power of his Sun Saint Origin.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian suddenly came to halt and turned to stare at Lin Yuan who was chasing him.

“What’s he doing?”

“Could it be that the effect of his assist-type Divine Ability has disappeared? He knows he can longer escape so he’s choosing to directly face Elder Lin Yuan?”

“Maybe.”

Peng Lai agreed with the words of the patrolling disciples as well.

At this moment, Lin Yuan was the only one who felt uneasy.

Whoosh!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian lifted his hand as a three-foot-long blade appeared in his hand. It was a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword.

Merge!’ Duan Ling Tian infused much of his Sun Saint Origin that had been raised to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage into the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword and wielded the sword with the techniques he had mastered.

In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian cried out inwardly, ‘Go!’

Swoosh!

With a whistling sound, the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword flew out of Duan Ling Tian’s hand!
