Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

A series of buzzing noises rang in the air. The thread in the assassin’s hand suddenly transformed into tens of thousands of sword qi that glowed with a green light. This indicated that he had cast the Wind Blade Profundity. As he moved the thread in his hand, the air stirred violently into a tornado. Soon enough the tens of thousands of sword qi were engulfed in the tornado. The raging tornado spun until it was in front of the assassin, effectively blocking Duan Ling Tian’s vision. Meanwhile, the raging tornado continued to grow bigger and bigger.

“T-this is the law of wind’s Tornado Profundity?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed slightly.

Excluding the law of wind’s Fundamental Profundity, the Wind Elemental Profundity, the assassin had cast five profundities from the law of wind: the Wind Gathering Profundity, the Gale Profundity, the Slicing Profundity, the Wind Blade Profundity, and the Tornado Profundity.

“Brat, you’re just a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who had used a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon… You should feel proud that I’m killing you by unleashing all my strength!” In just a flash, the assassin entered the raging tornado, impervious to the tens of thousands of sword qi and thread in there.

“All your strength?” With these words, Duan Ling Tian knew the assassin had attacked without any reservations. Apart from the King Grade Celestial Thread that had been nurtured by a Celestial Lord, the assassin had also cast six types of profundities from the law of wind.

The law of wind had a total of nine profundities, including the Fundamental Profundity, the Wind Elemental Profundity. In the Southern Heaven Territory, it was rare to encounter someone who had comprehended all nine profundities from a law. The first few profundities were usually easier to comprehend, but the later profundities would become more difficult to comprehend. This was due to many conflicting factors regarding the various profundities from a law. One had to find the balance between the conflicting profundities to fully master and comprehend the profundities. With this, it could be seen that the assassin had rather remarkable comprehension skills. After all, he was a Six Combos Celestial King who had managed to comprehend and mastered six profundities from the law of wind to the rudimentary stage.

“Die, brat!” the assassin barked.

As soon as the assassin finished speaking, the tornado swept toward Duan Ling Tian at an incredible speed. Its speed was not inferior to Duan Ling Tian’s speed. If Duan Ling Tian could maintain his current speed, it was possible for him to evade the tornado. Unfortunately, his strength granted by the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon that was currently comparable to that of a Ten Directions Celestial King would only continue to drop. Based on the current situation, if this kept up, in more or less 30 breaths, his cultivation base and strength would drop to that of a Nine Palaces Celestial King. At that time, he would not be able to evade the tornado and would be caught up in it.

The assassin laughed as he watched Duan Ling Tian dodge the tornado with all his might. “I’d like to see how long you can keep this up before your Celestial Origin Energy weakens… You’ll definitely die within 50 breaths!”

‘He’s right. I can’t continue like this. Otherwise, I’d die after 30 breaths…’ Duan Ling Tian was running out of options. He could only sweep through the canyon to avoid being engulfed by the tornado. He knew in roughly 30 breaths, he would no longer be able to maintain much of a distance between him and the tornado. After all, the Tornado Profundity contained the Wind Elemental Profundity, the Wind Gathering Profundity, the Gale Profundity, the Slicing Profundity, and the Wind Blade Profundity.

‘With my current strength, it’s not difficult to deflect his attack with the help from the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword… However, it’ll greatly deplete the strength of my Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted. It would drop to the strength of an Eight Trigrams Celestial King at least. Even then, the assassin would just suffer minor injuries. It’d still be fairly easy for him to kill me after that!’ Faced with the raging and formidable tornado, this was the first time in a long time that Duan Ling Tian felt like death was imminent.

At this moment, with a rare solemnity that was rarely heard in its childish voice, the Chaos Divine Earth said, “Chaos Divine Metal, we need to act together now. Otherwise, the boy will die!”

“I know,” the Chaos Divine Metal replied in an equally solemn tone.

“Boy, attack him with all your might. Use your sword and focus on his vital spot… We have only one chance to do this right,” the Chaos Divine Metal said to Duan Ling Tian in a grim tone.

“Don’t rush. You’re not any slower than him so it’s not difficult for you to target his vital spot,” the Chaos Divine Earth reassured Duan Ling Tian and confidently said, “He’ll probably think your attempt to struggle is futile and that you’re just being stubborn. Most importantly, he probably thinks it isn’t necessary to dodge your attack. When he realizes how deadly your attack is, it’d be too late for him to react!”

“This is a fight to the death. Even if we kill him, you’ll still suffer serious injuries even with the defenses from the Chaos Divine Earth!” the Chaos Divine Flame chimed in at this moment, “After killing him, muster up whatever strength you have left and send it into your purely defensive Celestial Weapon to defend against his attack.”

Upon hearing the words of three of the Five Divine Elements, Duan Ling Tian who was frustrated and slightly panicked calmed down like the sea that had regained calmness after a storm. It did not take long for him to calm down due to his many experiences and close calls with death. He knew the importance of maintaining one’s composure in situations such as this one. Those who lost their calm were likely to perish.

Swoosh!

Meanwhile, the assassin watched through the raging tornado as it swept toward the fiery figure that was attempting to run away from it. However, all of a sudden, the fiery figure came to halt. In just a blink of an eye, the fiery figure switched direction and was charging toward the tornado.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Heatwaves appeared as Duan Ling Tian charged toward the assassin who was in the tornado. The flames on his body collided with the raging tornado in the process.

The assassin scoffed. “Your resistance is futile!” He did not think much about this. In his opinion, this was just a desperate struggle before Duan Ling Tian’s death. Duan Ling Tian probably wanted to fight before his strength further weakened. He thought he had a good understanding of Duan Ling Tian’s capabilities, therefore, he was not afraid. Although Duan Ling Tian’s current strength was that of a Ten Directions Celestial Kings, Duan Ling Tian had only comprehended three profundities from the law of fire, including the law of fire’s Fundamental Profundity, the Fire Elemental Profundity. Moreover, at most, Duan Ling Tian possessed a purely offensive and purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon that had been nurtured by Celestial Lords.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The tornado continued to sweep out unimpeded. The flowers and trees were uprooted, part of the destruction that the tornado left in its wake. Even a tree that was so wide that it needed five to six adults to fully form a circle around it was easily uprooted. The tornado continued to spin, causing the rocks from the canyon wall to fall.

‘I can see him in the tornado now! Just a little bit closer, and I’ll be able to target his vital points!’ When Duan Ling Tian finally collided with the tornado, he felt a pressure so immense that he felt as though he was suffocating.

At the same time, the Chaos Divine Earth shot out of Duan Ling Tian’s body and merged with the flames on his body, alleviating the pressure on him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The collision of the flames and tornado brought about a thunderous explosion. The shockwave from the collision swept out in all directions, causing the canyon to quake.

…

Meanwhile.

“There’s a tremor over there!”

Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, and high-rank officials from the sect were still searching for Duan Ling Tian at the eastern side of the canyon when they sensed a slight disturbance.

Although the tremor was weak, judging by the distance, Sun Liang Peng could tell a fierce battle was being fought.

“That’s it! It should be there!” Sun Liang Peng moved at the speed of light toward the direction of the canyon. “Hang in there, Duan Ling Tian! I’m coming!”

“It’s there!” At the same time, Sun Liang Peng’s second brother, the green-clad young man, reverted to his Celestial Beast form and swept toward the canyon as well.

At this moment, many of the high-ranking officials from the Simplicity Celestial Sect had already noticed the slight disturbance. One after another they made their way to the canyon.

“There seems to be a commotion in that direction!”

“Let’s go and have a look!”

“It’s quite a distance away, but we can feel the tremors from here even if the tremors are weak… This means the fight is extremely fierce. It should be Duan Ling Tian and the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang.”
