Chapter 2374 - Duan Ling Tian Attacks

“Hmm?” Li Bing came to a halt when he heard Zi Feng calling out to him. He dispelled his force and turned to glare at Zi Feng. A hint of doubt could be seen in the rage that was swimming in his eyes.

When Li Bing had just arrived, he learned that Zi Feng was the leader of the Guardians of Fire Worship Sect. Since he was also the head of the Guardians of Fire Worship Sect 4,000 years ago, he was somewhat partial toward Zi Feng. If someone else had called out to him at this moment, he would not have paid them any attention.

When Zi Feng saw Li Bing looking at him, he quickly sent Li Bing a Voice Transmission. “Old ancestor, Guardian Qing Huo’s direct disciple, Gan Ru Yan, said that even if you join forces with another Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, you still won’t be a match for Duan Ling Tian!”

Initially, Li Bing thought Zi Feng had something important to tell him, but he ended up laughing when he heard Zi Feng’s words. After a while, he looked at Zi Feng and said loudly without using Voice Transmission, “You’re saying even if I join forces with another Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, we still won’t be a match for Duan Ling Tian?”

Li Bing’s words caused the onlookers to break out in a commotion again.

“It seems like Guardian Zi Feng sent a Voice Transmission to warn the old ancestor that he wouldn’t be a match for Guardian Ling Tian even if another Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial came to help him...”

“You’re right...”

“Did Guardian Zi Feng go crazy as well?”

The elders and disciples of Fire Worship Sect were bewildered when they looked at Zi Feng. They could not figure out why he would say something so absurd to their old ancestor who was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!

“Duan Ling Tian is merely an Eminent Celestial. Even if his follower is a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, they still can’t stand up to the two old ancestors who are Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials!”

“You’re right!”

“Do you think Guardian Zi Feng is trying to protect Duan Ling Tian by sending that Voice Transmission to the old ancestor?”

Zi Feng spluttered, “You...” He did not expect Li Bing would reveal his Voice Transmission to everyone. Apart from that, he did not expect that most people would think he was trying to protect Duan Ling Tian.

“Shut up!” Li Bing barked, interrupting Zi Feng, “You won’t be able to protect Duan Ling Tian. He’ll have to die today! I’ll deal with you after I kill him!” Not only did he not believe Zi Feng’s words, but he even threatened Zi Feng.

The other three Guardians of Fire Worship Sect could not help but smile bitterly when they saw this. Although they had expected Li Bing’s reaction, they still felt helpless. They knew if they were in Li Bing’s shoes, they would not believe these words as well. The reason they had so readily believed this was due to their trust in each other, and they knew Gan Ru Yan was not the kind of person to make things up.

Duan Ling Tian found it quite funny when Li Bing rejected Zi Feng’s good intention. Then, he turned to look at Li Bing coldly and said, “Li Bing! It seems like you have no intention of swearing on the lightning penalty oath...”

Li Bing’s energy surged from his body. A wave of terrifying energy rolled out his body as he sneered. “Who are you to demand me to swear on the lightning penalty oath?”

“Well, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance,” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, “Since you don’t appreciate this chance, you can stay in the sect forever!” Based on his words, it was clear that he was going to make Li Bing stay in the sect forever by killing him.

“Stop bragging!” Li Bing was enraged by Duan Ling Tian and lunged toward him like a beast.

Duan Ling Tian stomped his feet. He looked fearless as he said, “You’ll know soon enough if I’m merely bragging or not!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As soon as Li Bing made a move, Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air, leaving only Chen Yi Ru behind.

“How fast!” Duan Ling Tian’s speed, naturally, surprised the four Guardians of the Fire Worship Sect.

Zi Feng who was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, in particular, was confused. ‘I should be able to catch the movement of an Eminent Celestial...’ At this moment, he was 101% certain that Gan Ru Yan was not lying. However, even then, what could he do? The old ancestor did not believe him at all.

...

“How’s this possible?” The moment when Li Bing lunged forward, he discovered Duan Ling Tian moving to him fearlessly. Initially, he had sneered when he saw this. However, only a shocked expression remained on his face when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s speed that was comparable to his. ‘T-this... How’s this the speed of an Eminent Celestial? This is clearly the speak of a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!’

Li Bing began to panic. ‘He’s obviously an Eminent Celestial... I don’t feel the aura of a Bodiless Celestial from him. How can an Eminent Celestial be so fast?’

Bang!

A loud sound resonated in the air as Li Bing slammed both his palms down on the void. It did not take long before tiny void cracks began to appear. He took this chance to fly higher up in the sky, avoiding Duan Ling Tian who was charging at him.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained calm as he lifted his hand and his Celestial Origin Energy that was mixed with Saint Origin formed a sword ray that eventually turned into a three-foot-long sword in his hand. All these had happened in just a blink of an eye.

Duan Ling Tian and Li Bing were moving in different directions when Duan Ling Tian said in a low voice, “Sword Wielding Art!” In just an instant, the three-foot-long sword flew out as fast as lightning, looking like a shooting star that shot across the sky.

Swoosh!

The sounds of a sword’s cry rang in the air as the sword ray flashed in Li Bing’s eyes.

‘How fast!’ This thought appeared in Li Bing’s mind when he felt an intense pain in his right shoulder. He instinctively turned to look and found his right arm had been cleanly severed. He did not even see how the sword had severed his arm.

When Duan Ling Tian finally stopped moving and reappeared before everyone’s eyes, many long void cracks could be seen around him. It was clear that these long void cracks were caused by Duan Ling Tian’s sword. They also saw Li Bing’s arm had been cleanly severed when he appeared.

“H-how’s this possible?”

“Did Guardian Ling Tian just sever the old ancestor’s arm?”

However, it did not take long before some sort of energy surged out of Li Bing’s wound.

Everyone watched as Li Bing regenerated an arm that looked no different from the arm that had been severed by Duan Ling Tian.

Bodiless Celestials were different from humans after all. Their bodies were made from energy. As long as they were not killed, most of the time they would be able to regenerate their bodies.

Li Bing’s expression turned to one of shock and disbelief when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “F-five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial? Your attack is comparable to the strength of Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestials!” He was bewildered. How was it possible for an Eminent Celestial to possess the strength of a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!

Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, Chen Yi Ru who was standing in the distance scoffed loudly. “Li Bing, I’m afraid you’re unaware that my master is Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang’s successor. He has already obtained Senior Feng Qing Yang’s legacy!”

‘Feng Qing Yang?’ Li Bing’s expression darkened immediately. ‘H-how could I have forgotten that? During his time, Feng Qing Yang could kill Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials even though he was only an Eminent Celestial.’ Fear began to flood Li Bing’s heart when he thought about this.
