War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Jiao Zhan asked to confirm the black-robed man’s identity. After all, there were some people in Sin City who had begun to imitate the black-robed man. He was not certain if this black-robed man was the same person who killed members of the Black Crow Alliance. Naturally, even if this person was not the original black-robed man, he did not intend to let him go as well.

Duan Ling Tian felt that Jiao Zhan’s name sounded familiar. After giving it some thought, he realized this person was the brother of the person whom he had killed. ‘Is this Jiao Tu’s brother?’ Duan Ling Tian remembered that before he killed Jiao Tu, he had said his brother was Jiao Zhan, the Deputy Leader of the Black Crow Alliance, to protect himself. However, it was unfortunate that Duan Ling Tian did not care.

Naturally, Jiao Zhan did not expect that the black-robed man standing before him did not only kill many of his men from the Black Crow Alliance, but he was the person who killed his brother, Jiao Tu!

Since Jiao Zhan did not know, Duan Ling Tian did not plan to tell him either.

“So what if I killed all of them? They’re just trash that liked to take advantage of the weak!” Duan Ling Tian answered indifferently. He looked calm and at ease. It was as though he thought nothing of killing those men from the Black Crow Alliance.

Indeed, that was how Duan Ling Tian felt. He had seen many members of the Black Crow Alliance in Sin City, but he did not kill all of them. Those whom he had killed were those who had bad intentions. He felt no remorse for killing those people.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the entire place fell silent. Those sectless cultivators who were initially gossiping among themselves kept quiet immediately. All of them looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock. They did not think Duan Ling Tian would be so domineering. He was so arrogant even when faced with Jiao Zhan, the Deputy Leader of the Black Crow Alliance, who was ranked 566th on the Supreme Saint Ranking? Was he not afraid of death?

“Since he dares to act so boldly in front of Jiao Zhan, could it be that he’s stronger than Jiao Zhan?” A sectless cultivator suddenly said, breaking the silence.

His words instantly caused an uproar among the spectators.

“Now that you’ve said it, it seems possible!”

“That’s true. How do we know Jiao Zhan is stronger? Perhaps, the black-robed man is even stronger than Jiao Zhan? He managed to kill everyone with just a strike so far!”

“Yeah. Even if the strongest person the black-robed man had killed was only at the peak of the even Quintessential Saint Stage, his cultivation base could very well be at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher.”

When the group of sectless cultivators started talking again, it seemed like they had changed their opinion.

Jiao Zhan’s expression changed drastically when he heard the discussions in his surroundings. When he heard their words, he was instantly reminded that there was an issue. The spectators were right. He did not know the true strength of the black-robed man. Since the black-robed man dared to show up even after knowing he was the Deputy Leader of the Black Crow Alliance, there were only two possibilities for that.

First, the black-robed man was weaker than him but had appeared to call his bluff.

Second, the black-robed was stronger than him and was not afraid of him.

‘So what if I killed all of them? They’re all trash who liked to take advantage of the weak.’ Duan Ling Tian’s arrogant words kept echoing in Jiao Zhan’s mind. It caused him to believe that the black-robed man was stronger than him.

“You’ve killed so many men from the Black Crow Alliance’s men. Our leader won’t let you go. Just wait and see!” Jiao Zhan said shamelessly in a low voice after taking a deep breath. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around in preparation to leave. He had made up his mind. It was better to leave even if it was humiliating. If the black-robed man was really stronger than him, then he was as good as dead.

In the Black Crow Alliance, the leader was the strongest. In Jiao Zhan’s opinion, it would not be too late to deal with this matter when the Leader of the Black Crow Alliance returned. It would be safer this way. He decided not to take the risk.

However, could Jiao Zhan leave just because he decided to leave?

Hu!

Duan Ling Tian who was covered in his black robe moved in that instant. It was as though he was a ghost as it seemed like he appeared out of thin air in front of Jiao Zhan, blocking Jiao Zhan’s way before he could leave.

Jiao Zhan’s expression changed drastically when he saw the black-robed man blocking his way.

Meanwhile, the spectators began to regain their senses as well. They all remembered Jiao Zhan’s words. “You’ve killed so many men from the Black Crow Alliance. Our leader won’t let you go. Just wait and see!”

Based on Jiao Zhan’s words, it was obvious he was afraid of the black-robed man and was trying to escape?

The spectators all turned to look at Jiao Zhan disdainfully.

At the same time, some of them could not help but mock Jiao Zhan.

“Jiao Zhan’s scared. If he’s scared, why did he come today?”

“He probably didn’t expect the black-robed man to be stronger than him. Since the black-robed man appeared even after knowing Jiao Zhan’s the Deputy Leader of Black Crow Alliance, Jiao Zhan probably feels the black-robed man is stronger than him!”

“That’s what I think as well. Isn’t it humiliating? It’s not just humiliating for him, but for the Black Crow Alliance as well!”

“Humiliating? It’s better to be humiliated than to lose one’s life!”

Initially, only a few people mocked Jiao Zhan. As time passed, more and more people began to join in and make fun of him.

This was because people from the Black Crow Alliance were known for taking advantage of the weak so their reputation was not good in Sin City. However, most people did not dare to speak out due to the Black Crow Alliance’s strength.

Now that they were presented with a chance to mock Jiao Zhan, they would definitely not let go of this chance.

As the saying went, ‘One should know when to seize an opportunity’. Therefore, all of them seized this chance and mocked Jiao Zhan mercilessly.

When Jiao Zhan heard the people’s words, his face paled before it turned purple.

Currently, Jiao Zhan was backed into a corner. He looked at Duan Ling Tian who was blocking his way and asked in a deep voice, “Do you really want to fight?” When he spoke, killing intent surged out of his body and swept toward Duan Ling Tian. He was trying to test Duan Ling Tian.

After all, there was a possibility that Duan Ling Tian was just putting on a front and calling his bluff. Jiao Zhan might be able to glean something by the way Duan Ling Tian reacts when faced with the killing intent. If Duan Ling Tian was really just calling his bluff, he could kill Duan Ling Tian and redeem his and Black Crow Alliance’s reputation.

However, Jiao Zhan’s expression quickly changed again. This was because he discovered the black-robed man was unaffected by the killing intent. The black-robed man did not move at all. His expression could not be seen since it was hidden by the hood.

“As the Deputy Leader of the Black Crow Alliance, why would you ask such a stupid question?” Duan Ling Tian said after a while.

The spectators were initially shocked by the words. They began to laugh when they regained their senses.

‘Run!’ This was the only thought left in Jiao Zhan’s mind when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. It was obvious Duan Ling Tian was confident he could defeat him. His expression changed as he turned and prepared to run at the speed of light.

However, it seemed as though Duan Ling Tian could read Jiao Zhan’s mind since he blocked Jiao Zhan’s way again. Jiao Zhan failed to escape again.

Hu!

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian lifted his hand and a ruler appeared in his hand. The ruler looked simple and crudely made.

“Universe Teleportation!”

This ruler was a Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Universe Ruler, that was on the fourth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

As for the Universe Teleportation, it was a unique Divine Ability from the Universe Ruler.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian brought the Universe Ruler out, he immediately merged his Sun Saint Energy that was comparable to the Saint Origin of a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse into the Universe Ruler and cast the Universe Teleportation.

At this moment, before Jiao Zhan and the others could react, there was a flash before their eyes and a mysterious force swept toward them.

Jiao Zhan and the others did not expect this.

At this moment…

“Elementary Devouring Tactic!” Whirlpools began to appear around Duan Ling Tian’s body, devouring the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings like a starving beast.

Jiao Zhan and the group spectators were distracted by the Universe Teleportation so they did not notice Duan Ling Tian had cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic and the lack of Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in their surroundings.

Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Energy was raised to its limit in just a short time! It was comparable to the Saint Origin of a powerhouse who had just broken through to the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

At this moment, Jiao Zhan came back to his senses. As soon as he made a move…

Hu!

Duan Ling Tian reached Jiao Zhan’s side in a blink of an eye, causing Jiao Zhan’s expression to change drastically again.

Weng!

The sound of a blade’s cry could be heard in the air.

It was the sound of Duan Ling Tian who had poured his enhanced Sun Saint Energy into the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Universe Ruler, and using it like a saber to hack at Jiao Zhan. He did not use any martial tactics or any other Divine Abilities. He merely used the profundity from the Sovereign Heart Sword with the Universe Ruler that had been infused with Sun Saint Energy to attack Jiao Zhan!
