4606 Young and Rash?
“No! If you dare to kill me, Senior Brother will definitely not spare the God Defying World!”
Panic set in when the Sect Leader of the Cyan Swan Saint Sect heard Duan Ling Tian’s words and saw the killing intent in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. Moreover, his junior granduncle, who was a World supreme powerhouse, had also been killed by Duan Ling Tian. It was easy as killing a chicken for Duan Ling Tian to kill a World supreme powerhouse, let alone an imminent World supreme powerhouse like him.
“You can’t kill me!” the Sect Leader of the Cyan Swan Saint Sect roared at the top of his lungs. These were his final words before his demise.
As soon as his voice fell, the space around him suddenly began to distort even though Duan Ling Tian was motionless. Following that, he mysteriously shattered into pieces, and his aura vanished immediately.
Boom!
The blood clouds in the sky had yet to disperse, but blood rained down even harder than before as the phenomena that announced the deaths of a World supreme powerhouse and imminent World supreme powerhouse overlapped.
Silence permeated the entire place.
The supreme powerhouses of the Cyan Swan Saint Sect and the onlookers felt chills running up their spines after they witnessed Duan Ling Tian killing the World supreme powerhouse and the imminent World supreme powerhouse of the Cyan Swan Saint Sect.
No one from the Cyan Swan Saint Sect dared to speak, afraid that it would cost them their lives. Seeing that Duan Ling Tian acted without caring about the consequences his actions might bring to the God Defying World, they wondered if Duan Ling Tian was truly not worried about Lei Hong wreaking havoc in the God Defying World.
Both Lei Hong and Duan Ling Tian were level-seven supreme powerhouses. In the eyes of the members of the Cyan Swan Saint Sect, Duan Ling Tian could not possibly be stronger than Lei Hong because Duan Ling Tian was much younger. In their opinion, the years of experience that Lei Hong had accumulated would give Lei Hong an advantage over Duan Ling Tian. Although the God Defying World had two level-seven supreme powerhouses, they believed that even if the two joined forces, Lei Hong would still be able to escape from them.
Naturally, these people did not dare to voice their thoughts. The tragic death of their sect leader served as a warning to them. They knew that if their sect leader had spoken and acted more diplomatically, perhaps Duan Ling Tian would not have killed their World supreme powerhouse and their sect leader.
They were in despair at this moment. The Cyan Swan Saint Sect’s level-seven supreme powerhouse did not dare to return to the sect, and their World supreme powerhouse was dead. With this, would they still be considered the top sect in the Sun Bright World? Thankfully, as long as Lei Hong was still alive, they would still be a force to reckon with in the Sun Bright World no matter what.
“Master, let’s go back,” Duan Ling Tian said as he glanced at the silent members of the Cyan Swan Saint Sect.
After Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang vanished from sight, the onlookers finally regained their senses. A few of the supreme powerhouses from the neighboring forces finally had courage to come forward and asked about what happened. However, they did not get any answers since the supreme powerhouses of the Cyan Swan Saint Sect were not in the mood to talk. However, one or two supreme powerhouses with connections to the Cyan Swan Saint Sect soon found out about what happened after speaking to their friends in the Cyan Swan Saint Sect.
“What? Lei Hong confronted Duan Ling Tian then he fled because he was worried Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang would look for him in the Cyan Swan Saint Sect?”
“Before Lei Hong fled, he told the sect to tell Duan Ling Tian that if Duan Ling Tian dared to make a move on the sect, he would not let the God Defying World go? However, it seems like his threat didn’t hold much weight at all.”
“Indeed, his threat was useless! Otherwise, Duan Ling Tian wouldn’t have killed the sect’s World supreme powerhouse and imminent World supreme powerhouse. The Cyan Swan Saint Sect is really unlucky this time!”
“I heard that the sect leader rashly conveyed Lei Hong’s threat to Duan Ling Tian. That must have angered Duan Ling Tian.”
“Was he out of his mind? Although Duan Ling Tian is a level-seven supreme powerhouse, he’s still very young. Does the sect leader not know that young people have a short temper? They value their reputation more than their lives, and it seems like Duan Ling Tian isn’t any different from them.”
…
Not long after, news of what happened spread like wildfire in the Sun Bright World, shocking and scaring everyone.
“What?! Duan Ling Tian from the God Defying World went to the Cyan Swan Saint Sect and killed Lei Hong’s junior granduncle who was a World supreme powerhouse? He also killed the Sect Leader of the Cyan Swan Saint Sect?!”
“What happened? Even when Duan Ling Tian and his master were the only two level-seven supreme powerhouses around, they did not kill indiscriminately. Why did Duan Ling Tian suddenly act against Lei Hong’s Cyan Swan Saint Sect?”
“I heard from a reliable source that Lei Hong tried to kill a World supreme powerhouse from the Transcendence World. Unfortunately for him, that World supreme powerhouse is acquainted with Duan Ling Tian. I also heard that World supreme powerhouse has moved his clan from the Transcendence World to the God Defying World.”
“It’s unprecedented for World supreme powerhouses from the Sun Bright World to be killed by another person, right?”
“It’s not just the Sun Bright World. It’s unprecedented in the Three Upper Worlds. Those who were killed were from the 18 Middle Worlds….”
“Once Lei Hong learns about this, he’ll probably go crazy, won’t he?”
“Oh, he’ll definitely lose it! He might even go on a killing spree in the God Defying World!”
“You really can’t mess with young people. They have such a short temper!”
…
In a remote corner of the Sun Bright World.
The people’s speculations were proven right.
Before news of what happened in the Cyan Swan Saint Sect spread, Lei Hong had already received several messages from the sect, and he was furious.
‘Young and rash?’
Lei Hong did not think Duan Ling Tian was rash.
‘To achieve so much at a young age, how could he be rash? Could he have come this far if he was rash?’
Although Lei Hong was furious, he quickly calmed himself down. He began to wonder if there was a conspiracy behind Duan Ling Tian’s actions. He wondered if Duan Ling Tian was trying to lure him to the God Defying World? If he went on a killing spree in the God Defying World, it would give Duan Ling Tian a legitimate reason to kill him.
Lei Hong had always been arrogant, and he had also suffered many losses due to his arrogance. After facing several near-death experiences due to his arrogance, he also learned from his mistake. From then on, he learned how to retreat and admit defeat if he was not a match for his opponent. If he could not afford to provoke his opponent, he would endure it.
For example, back when Feng Qing Yang was guarding the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, Lei Hong swallowed his pride and did not make a fuss, retreating silently even though he was displeased. If he were arrogant and kicked up a fuss, he would have already died at that time.
After becoming a level-seven supreme powerhouse, he was confident about his ability so he dared to act arrogantly again when he went after the other World supreme powerhouses. It was not a rash decision. Because of his experience, he believed that Duan Ling Tian did not kill the two powerhouses from the Cyan Swan Saint Sect rashly.
