War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 1635 Duan Ling Tian’s Speed

“Although I have no idea where you got that Saint Grade Martial Tactics from, it’ll be mine once I’m done with you!” Lin Dong said slowly. It was as though he thought killing Duan Ling Tian would be easy.

“You can boast all you want once you’re able to get past my defense!” Duan Ling Tian said calmly as he maintained the light shield around his body.

“I must admit you have a formidable defensive move, but you won’t live long enough to see the sunrise tomorrow if this is the best you can do,” Lin Dong said with a sneer. He was offended because he felt Duan Ling Tian was underestimating him.

He immediately activated all four Saint Inscriptions on the steel claws in his hand as his laughter faded. Two Three Star Saint Inscriptions and two Four Star Saint Inscriptions were instantly activated.

Tens of thousands of claw marks accompanied the steel claws in Lin Dong’s hand as he moved toward Duan Ling Tian. The claw marks were much stronger this time compared to before. From a third person point of view, the tens of thousands of claw marks seemed as though they could rip the fabric of space into shreds. They emitted four distinctive auras. Two were weaker, and the other two were stronger.

“This is the power of Saint Inscriptions!” A few people noticed what Lin Dong had done.

“Two Three Star Saint Inscriptions… And the other two seem like Four Star Saint Inscriptions!”

Among the people from the Situ Clan, Bai Li Hong stood there with a worried and shocked expression on his face. “The Lin Clan from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion is indeed impressive. He even has two Four Star Saint Inscriptions out of the four Saint Inscriptions inscribed on his Saint Weapon!”

As a Saint Inscription Master, Bai Li Hong, naturally, understood how difficult it was to inscribe Four Saint Inscriptions. Moreover, two of them were Four Star Saint Inscriptions.

A new Four Star Saint Inscription Master could inscribe a Four Star Saint Inscription on a Saint Weapon at most. Only an experienced Four Star Saint Inscription Master would be able to inscribe two Four Star Saint Inscriptions on a Saint Weapon. A Three Star Saint Inscription Master was not in the same league as a Four Star Saint Inscription Master.

Bai Li Hong’s expression turned grave when he thought of this. Although Duan Ling Tian was very strong, he even killed Qian Kong, a Saint Stage powerhouse who was the former Supreme Elder of Moon Illumination Sect, all of them knew he only managed to do that because of that sword.

That sword was obviously extraordinary since it granted Duan Ling Tian whose cultivation base was only at the Saint Rudiment Paramount Stage the ability to kill a Saint Stage powerhouse. Even the ten Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking of Dao Martial Saint Land were not this powerful.

Bai Li Hong and the others had forgotten how strong Duan Ling Tian was as an individual when they first heard he had accepted the challenge issued by Lin Dong, the strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking from Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion. However, they were able to remain calm now due to Duan Ling Tian’s confidence and the incident where he killed Qian Kong.

“I hope Junior Brother won’t use that sword.” Bai Li Hong hoped that Duan Ling Tian would not use that sword. If he revealed the sword, he would become the public’s enemy. At that time, all the Saint Stage powerhouses, regardless if they were from Windfall Nation or Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion, would covet the sword since it was so powerful.

Who would not desire a weapon more powerful than the ten Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking?

Although Bai Li Hong hoped Duan Ling Tian would not use the sword, he knew it was just wishful thinking. The power of two Four Star Inscriptions was not something to be trifled with. It would be difficult for Duan Ling Tian to defend against Lin Dong even with the strongest defensive move in the Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic.

“Two Four-Star Saint Inscriptions… It seems Lin Dong is rather important in the Lin Clan,” King Rong said solemnly.

A Saint Weapon inscribed with two Four Star Saint Inscriptions was rare even in the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family. Even he himself did not own such a Saint Weapon.

Although the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family had a Four Star Saint Inscription Master, their Four Star Inscription Master had only broken through in the past few years. Therefore, he had yet to obtain the ability to inscribe two Four Star Saint Inscriptions on a Saint Weapon. The Saint Weapon in Lin Dong’s hands was definitely a rare treasure in Windfall Nation. It was so rare that even the Second Imperial Highness, King Rong, did not have such a weapon.

“I thought it would be difficult for Lin Dong to get past Duan Ling Tian’s powerful defense… However, it seems like Duan Ling Tian’s defense is just like a piece of paper!”

“Of course! That’s the power of two Four Star Saint Inscriptions!”

“It would only take one Four Star Saint Inscription to rock Duan Ling Tian’s defense… The combination of two Four Star Saint Inscriptions along with the other two Three Star Saint Inscriptions and Lin Dong’s ability will utterly crush Duan Ling Tian’s defense.”

“I can’t believe this duel is ending so soon.”

All the Saint Stage powerhouses present on the scene discussed among themselves and agreed that Duan Ling Tian’s defense was non-existent before Lin Dong’s attack. Moreover, they thought he would die once his defense crumbled.

“It’s a shame I can’t kill you with my own hands,” Ye Feng said through clenched teeth.

“Die, Duan Ling Tian! This is what you get for crossing me!” Situ Ming said as anger filled his eyes.

“Third Brother, Lin Dong is finally going to avenge you.” A sinister smile appeared on Ye Mu Bai’s face.

Meanwhile, King Qian’s eyes were filled with greed. He could already see the Devilseal Tablet in his hands. Even if Lin Dong expressed interest in the Top Human Rank Saint Grade Martial Tactic, King Qian was not bothered because the Devilseal Tablet was more important to him. In his opinion, the Saint Grade Martial Tactic’s value was negligible compared to the Devilseal Tablet.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

Tens of thousands of claw marks finally landed on the bell-shaped shield around Duan Ling Tian under everyone’s watchful eyes. Just as they had expected, his defense could not endure Lin Dong’s powerful attack. It did not just leave a few scratches on the shield, it tore through the shield.

Bai Li Hong and the others who initially felt confident began to feel worried. Duan Ling Tian was in a precarious situation. They all stared at the silhouette within the damaged bell-shaped shield.

All of them knew Duan Ling Tian managed to kill a Saint Stage powerhouse because of his mysterious sword, but he had to be given a chance to draw the sword. They were worried he would not even have a chance to draw his sword.

“It’s a shame that Duan Ling Tian’s going to die.”

Almost no one thought Duan Ling Tian would be able to survive that attack.

“Master Duan,” Situ Hang cried out as his body trembled. He wanted to help Duan Ling Tian, but there was nothing he could do. All he could do was hope for the best. Duan Ling Tian was his savior after all, he would die in Duan Ling Tian’s stead if he could!

Both Situ Hao and Situ Hou who were standing at the side shook their heads and sighed.

They still could not understand why Duan Ling Tian had accepted the challenge… In their opinion, the challenge was clearly disadvantageous to Duan Ling Tian. He could have rejected or avoided this, but he had chosen not to.

The people from King Qian’s estate smiled while the people from King Rong’s estate shook their heads.

Since Duan Ling Tian was no longer in the Situ Clan, whatever happened to him had nothing to do with King Rong’s estate. Therefore, they could watch the battle calmly.

“It seems like Duan Ling Tian has an extraordinary relationship with Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect. Maybe I can benefit from this after Lin Dong has killed Duan Ling Tian! As long as Lady Feng is able to convince the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, Zi Yun, to intervene, the blame will definitely fall on King Qian even if she doesn’t dare to pick a fight the Lin Clan from Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion.”

King Rong had already come up with ideas to use Duan Ling Tian’s death to his advantage.

“Eh?”

However, the situation on the battlefield changed so rapidly that it caused King Rong’s expression to freeze.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the tens of thousands of claw marks that destroyed the bell-shaped shield around Duan Ling Tian continued on their trajectory toward the silhouette inside. Everyone predicted this to be the end of Duan Ling Tian. He would be shredded into pieces by the claw marks.

However, the sudden change caught everyone off guard. It seemed as though the silhouette was shredded into pieces. However, that was just Duan Ling Tian’s afterimage.

“Duan Ling Tian is there!” A Saint Stage powerhouse shouted among the crowd of people. There were many Saint Stage powerhouses from different forces among the crowd of people.

Everyone’s eyes immediately followed the powerhouse’s gaze. A silhouette with an elegant bearing stood on a radiant flying sword. The light on the sword flickered non-stop. It was as fast as the wind, and as destructive as fire.

At this moment, some of the more observant spectators discovered something.

“Duan Ling Tian’s Territory is gone!”

Many Saint Stage powerhouses who saw this solemnly said, “That sword beneath his feet is condensed from his Territory… Who could have guessed a flying sword formed from his Territory could grant him such a terrifying speed!”
