Chapter 2514 - Is He Truly Your Man?
2514 Is He Truly Your Man?
"Boy, I didn't expect you to own a Celestial Supreme Treasure!" Tang Hong's eyes seemed to be glued to the Celestial Sword before he averted his eyes that were filled with greed to Duan Ling Tian. "In any case, it belongs to me now!" Based on his words, it was clear that he intended to snatch the Celestial Sword away from Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian sneered when he heard Tang Hong's words. "A mere Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial dares to say such words!" Then, he mobilized his energy before it surged out of his body that formed whirlpools around him. In just a blink of an eye, he absorbed all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings.
"Assist-type Divine Ability?"
"How powerful!"
The three Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from Tang Sect were stunned by Duan Ling Tian's assist-type Divine Ability. They were further stunned when they saw another sword appearing in Duan Ling Tian's hands. The sword's aura was piercing and terrifying.
"Another Celestial Sword!"
"Duan Ling Tian has two Celestial Supreme Treasures? Moreover, they're both Celestial Swords?"
"Who is he?!"
Both Tang Chong, the Sect Leader of Tang Sect, and Tang Zhong Yi, the Supreme Elder of Tang Sect, were shocked to the core by the second Celestial Supreme Treasure. It should be noted that there were only three Celestial Supreme Treasures in the entire Tang Sect. Even if they counted the Celestial Supreme Treasure that Tang Xiao Xiao obtained, there were only four Celestial Supreme Treasure in the sect. However, Duan Ling Tian who was just an Eminent Celestial possessed two Celestial Supreme Treasures. How could they not feel shocked?
"Another Celestial Supreme Treasure!" Tang Zhen Bao exclaimed as he stared greedily at the Celestial Sword in Duan Ling Tian's hand.
On the contrary, Tang Hong, the other Supreme Elder of Tang Sect, who had coveted Duan Ling Tian's Celestial Supreme Treasure earlier and announced he was going to snatch Duan Ling Tian's Celestial Supreme Treasure away, suddenly turned wary. The greed in his eyes had disappeared at this moment. "W-who are you?!"
It was possible that an Eminent Celestial got lucky and obtained a Celestial Supreme Treasure in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. However, the odds of obtaining two Celestial Supreme Treasures in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone due to luck was extremely slim. After all, there were no shortages of mighty powerhouses in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. There were many Eight and Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. For an Eminent Celestial to obtain two Celestial Supreme Treasures in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, the Eminent Celestial had to have an extraordinary background. For this reason, Tang Hong began to feel wary.
"I'm the one who's going to kill you today," Duan Ling Tian replied to Tang Hong's question. As soon as he finished speaking, the Celestial Sword in his hand flew out and began to spin around him at an increasing speed. In just a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of sword rays appeared above his head.
A series of swords' cries rang in the air as a Sword Formation formed above Duan Ling Tian's head. The void trembled as soon as it was formed. Then, a mysterious energy surged out in all directions and shrouded everyone present on the scene.
Whoosh!
Tang Hong's expression changed immediately when he discovered the Celestial Sword he had snatched earlier had broken out of his grip. Moreover, during the process, it had injured him as well. He could only watch helplessly as the Celestial Sword flew toward the Sword Formation above Duan Ling Tian's head and became part of the Formation. At this moment, upon seeing this scene and recalling Duan Ling Tian's earlier words, an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
Duan Ling Tian scoffed before the Sword Formation above his head flew toward Tang Hong at lightning speed.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
When the Sword Formation flew out, it seemed like the sky was covered with swords, and it left terrifying-looking tears in its wake that looked like gigantic black pythons.
Boom!
Faced with the fierce Sword Formation, Tang Hong had no choice but to defend against it even though he knew he might not be able to successfully defend against it. His energy surged out quickly from his body.
At this moment, the Sect Leader and the other Supreme Elder of Tang Sect, Tang Chong and Tang Zhong Yi, cried out in unison, "Please show mercy!" Their expressions had changed drastically at this moment.
Boom! Boom!
As they spoke, their energies surged from their bodies as well. However, the Sword Formation that covered the sky had already clashed with Tang Hong's Celestial Supreme Treasure, a seven-inch-long throwing knife.
With his life on the line, Tang Hong unreservedly sent all his energy into the throwing knife. His strength was now comparable to the strength of an ordinary Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial who did not possess a Celestial Supreme Treasure!
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
Swords' cries rang in the air again when Duan Ling Tian's Sword Formation clashed with the seven-inch-long throwing knife. The throwing knife suddenly turned against Tang Hong, leaving him defenseless and vulnerable in just a second. Before he could even react, Duan Ling Tian's attack landed on him. At the moment he died, his eyes were still widened in shock and disbelief. Perhaps, before he died, he finally realized how futile it was to point a Celestial Supreme Treasure at Duan Ling Tian.
"Ancestor!" Tang Zhen Bao cried out, his face had turned pale immediately. Although he could not really see what had happened due to his weak cultivation base, he had clearly sensed his ancestor's aura vanishing. There was only one explanation for this; his ancestor must have died!
Tang Chong and Tang Zhong Yi's expressions turned grave. They did not expect that Duan Ling Tian would be so overwhelmingly strong. He had managed to kill Tang Hong with just a strike! It happened so fast that they did not even have time to help Tang Hong. However, they knew very well that even if they managed to help Tang Hong, they still would not be a match for Duan Ling Tian.
"His attack is extremely effective against Celestial Supreme Treasures! It managed to turn the Celestial Supreme Treasure against its owner!"
"Even if all three of us wielded Celestial Supreme Treasures, it would be pointless for us to use them. However, if we don't use them, we won't be able to defend against his attack that's comparable to the full force of an ordinary Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!"
Tang Chong and Tang Zhong Yi were well aware of this. For this reason, their eyes were filled with fear when they turned back to look at Duan Ling Tian.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
After killing Tang Hong, the Sword Formation continued on its trajectory and headed toward Tang Zhen Bao before killing him.
After that, Duan Ling Tian retrieved his two Celestial Swords along with Tang Hong's Celestial Supreme Treasure. "Xiao Xiao!" He called out before tossing the throwing knife to her. It seems like he had no intention of keeping the Celestial Supreme Treasure even though no one would have dared to say anything even if he had done so.
"This…" Tang Xiao Xiao said hesitantly as she held the throwing knife in her hand. After all, the throwing knife rightfully belonged to Duan Ling Tian who had killed its owner.
"Give it to your sect leader… Since you helped Tang Sect reclaim the Celestial Supreme Treasure and Tang Hong is dead, there should no longer be a reason for you to marry the Young Mansion Master of Heavenly Wave Mansion. Moreover, your ancestor wouldn't allow it even if your sect leader tries to force you!" Duan Ling Tian said through Voice Transmission.
Tang Xiao Xiao finally understood Duan Ling Tian's intention after listening to his words. She smiled at him gratefully before she handed the throwing knife to Tang Chong, the Sect Leader of Tang Sect.
As Tang Chong held the throwing knife in his hand, various emotions swelled in his heart.
Meanwhile, Tang Zhong Yi who had regained his senses thought to himself with a sigh as his eyes darted back and forth between Duan Ling Tian and Tang Xiao Xiao, 'I really didn't expect Xiao Xiao would bring someone so powerful back to the sect.' All his dissatisfaction with Duan Ling Tian earlier had vanished. After all, Duan Ling Tian had the capabilities to act so casually before them. In the end, he asked, "Xiao Xiao, is he really your man?"
"No." At this time, Tang Xiao Xiao no longer had any reason to lie since, to a certain extent, the crisis had been resolved.
"That's too bad…" Tang Zhong Yi mumbled to himself. An expression of disappointment could be seen on his face when he heard Tang Xiao Xiao's words.
