Di Jue had already broken through to the Exemplary Saint Stage? This was not good news for Duan Ling Tian.
Although he had thought of this possibility, he could not believe it actually happened and had taken him by surprise.
Di Jue was the dragon clan’s Five-clawed Golden Dragon from the Imperial Family. His cultivation base was at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage.
If he used his Jasper Celestial Sword, he could instantly kill Di Jue with his current cultivation base! However, how could he casually use the Jasper Celestial Sword?
Put aside the amount of Sun True Origin that had to be infused into the Jasper Celestial Sword to kill Di Jue, just the matter of the Jasper Celestial Sword being exposed would endanger his family and friends!
The Jasper Celestial Sword was a Celestial Supreme Treasure!
Perhaps, nobody in the Dao Martial Saint Land understood this, but when someone at the Divine Saint Stage managed to kill a Five-clawed Golden Dragon at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage instantly with just a sword, it was no different from announcing to the world how extraordinary the sword was.
In fact, even the famous Nine Cloud Sword on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking was not as monstrous as this!
The Nine Cloud Sword was more than enough to cause powerhouses in the Upper and Lower Province to fight to death, let alone a sword that was even more powerful than the Nine Cloud Sword.
‘If I activate the Jasper Celestial Sword, Di Shan and Leader Dugu would definitely notice how extraordinary the sword is. When news of this spread out, not only will I be a target, but even my parents and the others will be affected as well. At that time, they won’t be able to stay in the Azure Cloud Mansion and can only run away with me!’ The moment he thought of this, he shook his head.
The temptation of the Devilseal Tablet could not compare to the Jasper Celestial Sword at all.
Perhaps, some powerhouses from the Upper Province might not be interested in the Devilseal Tablet. However, even powerhouses standing at the top of the Upper Province would covet the Jasper Celestial Sword.
‘I can’t use the Jasper Celestial Sword!’ Duan Ling Tian quickly made up his mind. ‘With my current strength, I’ll be on par with Di Jue even if I don’t use the Jasper Celestial Sword. If I’m really unable to defeat him, I can’t risk using the Jasper Celestial Sword unless I’m on the brink of death! Otherwise, I’ll just have to accept defeat and gain a bad reputation when father rescues me!’ Duan Ling Tian finally calmed down a little after he took a deep breath.
In Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, between reputation and life, he would undoubtedly choose the latter.
Currently, his life did not only belong to him. Only if he stayed alive would he be able to go to the Upper Province to look for Ke’er and their child.
To him, some people were more important than his own life.
As long as you’re confident.
Although Duan Ru Feng did not know where his son got his confidence from, he chose to believe in him.
After a while, as though he just remembered something, Duan Ru Feng said again through Voice Transmission,
Tian’er, if… I’m saying if… If you really…
Duan Ling Tian interrupted his father’s Voice Transmission and asked,
If I really can’t defeat him, you’ll rescue me, right?
That’s right!
Duan Ru Feng nodded.
You’re my only son. Even if I gain a bad reputation for not keeping my words, I’ll definitely save you. Di Shan will definitely intervene if I make a move, but I’m capable of saving you even if he intervenes,
Duan Ru Feng said confidently as though the Clan Leader of the dragon clan was nothing in his eyes and that was indeed the case.
In the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, only he and Mountainshade Black Market’s Leader Dugu’s strength was on par with each other.
As for the other leaders from the quasi third-rate forces, including the Clan Leader of the dragon clan, they could not compare to him at all.
If they fought, he was confident he could kill Di Shan in ten moves! Although Di Shan was a Five-clawed Golden Dragon from the Imperial Family, he did not reach his full potential because he did not enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool.
There was nothing for him to be worried about!
Duan Ling Tian smiled before he asked through Voice Transmission,
Father, the reason you intentionally told me this… Could it be that you’re afraid I wouldn’t want you to rescue me?
Yes.
Duan Ru Feng responded. He was indeed worried about this. He feared his son would be stubborn and adhere to traditional rules. He was afraid his son would decide to die once he issued a Death Duel Invitation and could not defeat Di Jue, putting more importance on his reputation rather than his life.
Duan Ling Tian chuckled as he replied through Voice Transmission,
Father, I still want to find Ke’er so I value my life more than you value mine!
Upon hearing his words, Duan Ru Feng sighed in relief. It was fortunate his son was not a pedantic person. Instead, he knew how to analyze a situation before making a decision.
Meanwhile, everyone regained their senses as well.
Junior Brother Ling Tian, you’re too rash! How could you recklessly issue a Death Duel Invitation to Di Jue? This is too risky!
Gu Li immediately transmitted his voice to dissuade Duan Ling Tian. His tone was filled with anxiety.
Young Mansion Master, you’re too rash!
Even Ku Mi who was usually taciturn could not help but transmit his voice to Duan Ling Tian,
Young Mansion Master, Di Jue has already broken through to the Exemplary Saint Stage. If you regret your decision, I’ll deal with the mess on your behalf!
Ku Mi’s words were similar to Duan Ru Feng’s words. It was only natural for Duan Ling Tian to feel a sense of warmth when he heard Gu Li and Ku Mi’s words. He could tell both of them sincerely cared about him and worried about his safety.
Don’t worry,
Duan Ling Tian replied using Voice Transmission.
Death Duel? Won’t rest until one of us dies?
At the same time, everyone, including Di Jue who was one of the leads today, shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian. It was apparent that he was not very strong to begin with. They did not think he would seek death on his own accord.
Does the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion want to die?
It seems like it. Otherwise, why would he do that?
You can’t be sure of this. Maybe the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is really confident he could kill Di Jue?
Indeed! There are usually only two types of people who dare to issue the Death Duel Invitation. The first type is those who are confident in winning while the second type is the type that seeks death! The Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion doesn’t seem like someone who’s seeking death!
The people from the other quasi third-rate forces discussed among themselves. Their eyes did not leave Duan Ling Tian and Di Jue from the beginning until the end.
The Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is daring enough to issue a Death Duel Invitation to Di Jue?
The dragon clan’s members present on the scene exchanged glances with each other. All of them could see the astonishment in each other’s eyes.
The news about Duan Ling Tian’s current cultivation base had also spread through the dragon clan during these three days.
According to their dragon clan’s Five-clawed Divine Dragon, Elder Qing Yan, Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness was merely the Divine Consciousness of an Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.
As the successor of their Clan Leader, Di Jue was a Five-clawed Golden Dragon with high innate talent. Coupled with his cultivation base that had broken through to the Exemplary Saint Stage, would it not be easy as killing an ant for him to kill an Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator?
In their opinion, there was no suspense at all in the battle today. Everything was merely a formality.
However, when they were feeling at ease and certain the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion would take the initiative to admit defeat, he announced that he wanted to issue a Death Duel Invitation to their dragon clan’s Five-clawed Golden Dragon, Di Jue!
Was he not seeking death?
This was the thought on the minds of every member from the dragon clan.
The few Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders present on the scene such as Xue Chan, Zhi Jing, and Qing Yan were standing and looking at each other with a dumbfounded expression.
Qing Yan, are you certain his Divine Consciousness is only at the Eminent Saint Stage?
Xue Chan asked in a deep voice.
I’m certain!
Qing Yan answered confidently.
Three days ago, Duan Ling Tian had tried to probe him but his Divine Consciousness was shattered by him instead.
At that time, he discovered that Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness was merely at the Eminent Saint Stage. Moreover, it was not even at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage.
This meant that Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was only at the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage at most! Not only that, but his cultivation base might be even lower than the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage!
In that case, why would he take the initiative to issue the Death Duel Invitation? He’s Duan Ru Feng’s son! Not only that, but look at how he’s acting. It doesn’t seem like he’s seeking death!
Zhi Jing frowned. She was baffled.
Di Jue who was standing near the three Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders had also regained his senses. He was shocked. He did not expect this ant would issue a Death Duel Invitation to him!
Was he not just seeking death?
Faced with Duan Ling Tian’s Death Duel invitation, Di Jue sneered as he muttered under his breath,
Since you’re seeking death, you can’t blame me then!
Whoosh!
Without warning, Di Jue took a step forward in the air and looked at Duan Ling Tian before he said,
I agree…
When Di Jue was about to accept Duan Ling Tian’s challenge, he was interrupted.
Wait a minute!
Di Jue was naturally angry at being interrupted. He frowned immediately.
However, he regained his senses when he realized the voice sounded familiar. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall and sturdily built old man. It was none other than Clan Leader Di Shan!
Although Di Jue did not manage to finish speaking, as soon as he stepped forward, everyone knew he was going to accept the Death Duel Invitation issued by Duan Ling Tian.
However, he was interrupted by Di Shan at the critical moment!
Everyone immediately shifted their attention to Di Shan. They did not know why Di Shan would choose to interrupt Di Jue at this moment.
Was he worried that Di Jue would be killed by Duan Ling Tian? Or did he have something to tell Di Jue at the last minute?
Clan Leader?
Di Jue could act arrogantly in front of the others, but he could never be arrogant in front of Clan Leader Di Shan.
However, his eyes were filled with confusion. He did not understand why Di Shan would interrupt him.
