Chapter 4267 - 4267 Yun Qing Peng
4267 Yun Qing Peng
Although the bearded man knew he was not lying or bragging, he decisively said he was at this moment.
Duan Ling Tian had said that the two women were his mother-in-law and sister-in-law. In the bearded man’s opinion, if he said he was not bragging and lying now, it was tantamount to seeking death. Alas, despite his words, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian did not intend to let him go.
“Sir, I was really just bragging.”
The bearded used his bloodline power, but he was still unable to break free of the imprisonment from the law of space. Despair surged in his heart as he continued to explain himself. In his opinion, his survival now depended on whether Duan Ling Tian believed his words or not.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the bearded man and asked indifferently, “When you met them, how strong were they?”
The bearded man quickly replied, “When I met them, your mother-in-law quickly sent your sister-in-law into her Little World as soon as she discovered my presence. For this reason, I don’t know how strong your sister-in-law was. Sir, as for your mother-in-law, she should have just stabilized her cultivation base in the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods at that time!”
Then, as though he had just recalled something, the bearded man quickly added, “However, when she made a move, I quickly told her that I harbored no ill intentions. After that, I quickly left. After all, we were all from the Divine Offering Land. Perhaps, we would be allies in the future. There was no need for us to kill each other.”
The bearded man’s words were naturally only half true. It was true that Linghu Ren Feng sent Linghu Chu Yin into her Little World when she sensed his presence, but his remaining words were false. It did not matter if they were from the Divine Offering Land. The truth was he coveted them as soon as he saw them. After all, the mother and daughter were the most outstanding women he had seen in his life in both appearance and temperament. As a man, how could he not be tempted?
At that time, the bearded man intended to capture the duo. However, he did not expect Linghu Ren Feng to react so quickly. She immediately sent Linghu Chu Yin into her Little World before she escaped.
The bearded man was not an imminent Supreme God at that time so it was not surprising that he failed to capture the two women. He felt very unwilling at that time. After all, he was very close to becoming an imminent Supreme God. If he had been an imminent Supreme God, he would have successfully caught the two women.
Currently, the bearded man was an imminent Supreme God. With his current cultivation base, he thought that even if he traveled the inner area alone, he would still be relatively safe. Alas, he did not expect to run into Duan Ling Tian.
“Sir, I’m telling the truth. I didn’t lie to you!”
Despite the sincerity in his voice, the bearded man’s eyes showed his nervousness. It was only natural since his life was now in Duan Ling Tian’s hands.
Meanwhile, after listening to the bearded man’s words, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, “She’s stabilized her cultivation base in the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods? That’s good. With this, as long as she keeps a low profile in the inner area, she should be relatively safe…”
Although Duan Ling Tian had yet to meet Linghu Ren Feng, he had a feeling that she was definitely not a reckless person. Otherwise, she would not have been able to get to where she was today. With this thought in mind, the worries in his heart lessened.
Outwardly, Duan Ling Tian’s gaze turned icier and icier as he stared at the bearded man.
The bearded man’s expression changed when he noticed Duan Ling Tian’s increasingly cold gaze. “Sir…”
As soon as opened his mouth, the bearded man suddenly stopped speaking. This was because a spatial storm had begun to rage in the confined space, and his attention was focused on resisting it.
Duan Ling Tian raised his hand casually as he looked at the bearded man. After he pointed his finger, his Divine Energy imbued with a little force from his law of space, Mastery Dao, and Sword Dao shot out and turned into a sword ray. In just a blink of an eye, the sword ray shot into the barrier.
Duan Ling Tian only used a little force from his law of space so the phenomenon that shone for 100,000 miles did not appear.
The barrier from the law of space was unbreakable to the bearded man, but conversely, it was like a piece of paper to the sword ray.
“No!” the bearded man cried out. His tragic cry echoed in the surroundings. He could barely resist the spatial storm, let alone defend against the sword ray.
The sword ray pierced the bearded man’s body before it exploded. In just an instant, the bearded man turned into a mist of blood that quickly evaporated in the air. The only thing left was a prominent divine artifact.
After putting away the prominent divine artifact, Duan Ling Tian turned slightly. At some point, an old man and a young man had appeared. Based on the light their bodies emitted, he knew they were from the Divine Offering Land as well.
At this time, the young man frowned and asked Duan Ling Tian in a deep voice, “You’re both from the Divine Offering Land. Was there a need to kill him? Moreover, he was just an advanced Emperor of Gods, and you’re a rudimentary Supreme God. Killing him doesn’t benefit you at all.”
Based on the young man’s surging Divine Energy, it was obvious that he was a rudimentary Supreme God. Similar to Duan Ling Tian, he had yet to stabilize his cultivation base as well.
As for the old man standing behind the young man, he was an intermediate Supreme God who had stabilized his cultivation base. Perhaps, this was the reason the young man dared to question Duan Ling Tian after he witnessed Duan Ling Tian killing a fellow native of the Divine Offering Land. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian had just become a rudimentary Supreme God. Even if he was not as strong as Duan Ling Tian, the old man behind him was definitely stronger than Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the young man and said indifferently, “What do the people I kill have to do with you?”
Upon hearing this, the young man said indignantly, “What’s with your attitude? You’re clearly at fault, and yet, you dare to say this has nothing to do with me! I’m also from the Divine Offering Land. If you’re so powerful, why don’t you kill me as well?”
The young man sneered when he finished speaking.
Before Duan Ling Tian replied, the old man standing behind the young man said, “Lad, you’ve indeed gone too far. We’re all from the Divine Offering Land. Perhaps, if your cultivation bases were the same, we could consider you killing him for the rewards. However, he was just an advanced Emperor of Gods. His death doesn’t benefit you at all. Did you perhaps kill him for his prominent divine artifact?”
The old man’s gaze turned slightly frosty at the end of his words.
Duan Ling Tian stared at the old man before he asked, “What’s the matter? Do you know him?”
Before the old man or the young man could respond, Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “If you know him and want to avenge him, you can do it directly. Why bother spouting nonsense? If you don’t know him, then this matter has nothing to do with you.”
As Duan Ling Tian spoke, he only looked at the duo indifferently. After he finished speaking, he did not bother to wait for the duo’s reply and prepared to teleport away. However, he soon discovered that the space around him was unstable. Clearly, it had been disrupted.
Duan Ling Tian turned to look at the young man and asked coldly, “You’re really going to stop me?”
The young man returned Duan Ling Tian’s cold gaze and said, “So what if I do? When you killed that person from the Divine Offering Land, you should’ve known that you might be killed by another person from the Divine Offering Land as well. Today, I, Yun Qing Peng, will represent the Yun clan to mete out justice. I’ll kill you for killing a fellow native of our Divine Offering Land!”
‘Yun Qing Peng? The Yun clan?’
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened imperceptibly. Then, he asked, “Are you related to Yun Qing Yan?”
The young man said with a sneer, “He’s my cousin. What? Are you going to tell me that you’re familiar with my cousin? It’s useless even if you know him. You’ll still have to die today!”
As soon as the young man finished speaking, a four-foot-long narrow sword that glinted coldly in the light appeared in his hand. At the same time, the sword’s artifact soul loomed above it.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the young man and asked, “If I told you I killed that person because there was enmity between that person and me, would you stop bothering me?”
“It doesn’t matter if you enmity with him or not. You have to die today!” the young man said coldly.
A smile suddenly appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face before he said, “I understand. Earlier, I was thinking people from the Yun clan were really different. Some are arrogant and cruel, but some have a strong sense of justice. However, it seems like I was wrong. Everything was just an excuse, and you’re just as bad as the others…”
Duan Ling Tian had asked the earlier question to determine if the young man was compassionate and truly had a sense of justice. However, clearly, the young man was just looking for an excuse to attack. Perhaps, even if the young man did not witness him killing the bearded man, the young man still would have found an excuse to attack. It seemed to him that the people of the Yun clan were birds of a feather.
When the young man, Yun Qing Peng, heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He sneered and said, “Oh, it seems like you’re not a friend of my cousin.”
It was clear to Yun Qing Peng that Duan Ling Tian was referring to Yun Qing Yan when Duan Ling Tian spoke about those who were arrogant and cruel in the Yun clan. It had to be said that even he was afraid of his cousin.
After a moment, Yun Qing Peng scoffed and said, “You’re quite lucky. You should be honored that you’re going to help me hone my skills after my breakthrough into the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God!”
Following that, Yun Qing Peng attacked with his sword. A spatial storm began to rage before a sword ray appeared. The sword ray grew until it seemed like it could pierce the sky before it fell toward Duan Ling Tian, looking as though it could cleave heaven and earth into two.
