When Third Brother Deng turned around to pursue Duan Ling Tian, he originally planned to leave the wild beast behind and pursue Duan Ling Tian on his own.

After all, the wild beast beneath his feet was merely an Early Saint Rudiment Stage wild beast, and its speed was on par with Duan Ling Tian so it would be difficult for it to catch up to Duan Ling Tian.

He, on the other hand, was an Intermediate Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator. It would be very easy for him to catch up to an Early Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator.

It was apparent the speed that Duan Ling Tian was currently displaying made him think Duan Ling Tian was merely an Early Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator.

“Oh?” Soon after, Third Brother Deng gave up on the idea of pursuing Duan Ling Tian when he saw him come to halt after he had flown a distance away as though he was waiting for the group of people behind him to catch up to him.

At this instant, an ominous feeling rose up in his heart. He even had the urge to leave immediately.

However, the moment he recalled there were so many of his subordinates watching from behind, he clenched his teeth and continued the chase. ‘I’ll just kill this Early Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator. In this secluded area where no one would be able to help him, even if he has an extraordinary background, who would know that it’s me, Third Brother Deng, who killed him, right?’ He instantly made up his mind when he thought of this.

Soon after, Third Brother Deng brought the group of bandits to surround Duan Ling Tian.

“What? You’ve finally given up and decided to hand over your Spatial Ring?” Third Brother Deng smirked as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “I’ll give you another chance. Hand over your Spatial Ring, and I’ll spare your life!”

When the two men following behind him heard his words, they could not help but feel shocked.

In fact, this was not their first time encountering a situation like this. Usually, their Third Chief would instantly kill the person if they had tried to flee. However, he actually gave the young man a second chance this time.

“Perhaps the Third Chief saw how he took the initiative to stop and finds it forgivable.” The two old men exchanged glances with each other, and both of them could see similar emotions in each other’s eyes.

However, how could they possibly know hints of dread had already risen inThird Brother Deng’s heart because of this young man.

“What if I refuse?” From the beginning until the end, Duan Ling Tian’s expression was calm as though he would not even bat an eyelid if a mountain collapsed.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Third Brother Deng’s face changed immediately.

“Boy, you’re seeking death!”

“Third Chief! Kill him!”

“Slaughter him!”

At this moment, the several dozens of bandits whom Third Brother Deng brought with him were shouting angrily one after another.

If it was not because Third Brother Deng did not give them an order yet, they would have long charged forth and torn this young man who did not appreciate their favor into pieces.

At this moment, Third Brother Deng found it hard to back down after listening to his subordinates’ words. He immediately shouted, “Kill him!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

At this moment, apart from Third Brother Deng, the wild beast beneath his feet, and the two old men behind him, the other bandits charged toward Duan Ling Tian as though they intended to tear him into a thousand pieces.

On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian who was surrounded merely had a disdainful smile on his face.

Duan Ling Tian stood at the center as he watched several dozens of bandits approaching him. Suddenly, the area in the sky within a hundred-meter radius began to tremble.

In the next instant, solidified sword rays that were similar to real swords appeared out of thin air. With just a glance, it seemed as though the swords numbered in tens of thousands.

“Territory!” At this moment, Third Brother Deng and the old men behind him finally realized what was happening. Horror dawned on their faces when they realized they had kicked a huge boulder.

What a joke!

Only a powerhouse who had mastered the True Energy Consolidated Territory could cast Territory. A powerhouse who had mastered the True Energy Consolidated Territory was also someone at the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage.

Let alone them, even the Great Chief of their bandit group was only a Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator. That was still quite a distance away from entering the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage.

Even their Great Chief would have to bend and bow in front of a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse.

However, they actually dared to pursue a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse?

Third Brother Deng and the two old men were horrified. Several dozens of the tens of thousands of swords streaked across the sky like meteors. Each of the sword rays took away the life of a bandit.

Among the bandits, the strongest one was merely an Early Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator. In front of Duan Ling Tian’s Thousand Swords Territory, they were just like meat on Duan Ling Tian’s chopping board.

In just an instant, apart from Third Brother Deng, the wild beast beneath his feet, and the two old men behind him, all the other bandits were killed when the sword rays pierced their hearts. Their bodies dropped down one by one like flies and smashed on the ground into a b.l.o.o.d.y mess.

At this moment, Third Brother Deng finally returned to his senses.

“My Lord, it’s me, Third Brother Deng, who didn’t recognize what kind of person you are! It’s me who underestimated you!” After Third Brother Deng realized what was happening, his face turned pale. He took the initiative to beat himself as he punched his own ears.

Right now, he only had one thought left in his mind. He hoped that the powerhouse before him would spare his life.

In front of this person, there was no thought of resisting at all since he knew it would be futile even if he had resisted.

Naturally, he felt dissatisfied in his heart. Duan Ling Tian, an almighty Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator, had intentionally displayed the speed of an Early Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse to act like a swine to eat the tiger.

Was he not just digging a grave for them jump into?

If Duan Ling Tian had revealed his speed as a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse when he left, they would not have dared to chase after him. Even if they wanted to chase after him, they would not have been able to.

“Spare my life, Lord!”

“Spare my life, Lord!”

Meanwhile, the two old men behind Third Brother Deng had instantly kneeled in mid-air and bowed as they begged for mercy from Duan Ling Tian. They were so frightened that their voices trembled when they spoke.

At this moment, their thoughts were similar to Third Brother Deng.

Although the wild beast beneath Third Brother Deng’s feet did not possess much intelligence, it instinctively sensed how terrifying Duan Ling Tian was and began to turn agitated.

“If I’m really an Early Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator, and I refused to hand over my Spatial Ring, would you have spared my life?” Duan Ling Tian asked nonchalantly in the face of the three men who were begging. Naturally, he knew the answer to that even if they did not answer.

Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian did not wait for Third Brother Deng and the other two old men to reply. With just a thought, the sword rays in the 10,000 Swords Territory began to whistle again before they killed Third Brother Deng, the two old men, and the wild beast. No one was left alive at all.

When he was about to leave Cui Village earlier and learned that Third Brother Deng and the others were not there to kill the village people, he had no intention of meddling in the matter at all.

Having to hand over some protection fee was just the law of survival for Cui Village. Duan Ling Tian did not intend to destroy it.

Although he had no intention of meddling, Third Brother Deng and the others had cast their covetous eyes at him. At that moment, he decided that he would not show them any mercy.

However, in order to not involve Cui Village, he purposely lured Third Brother Deng and the others far away from Cui Village. Only after he came here did he make his move.

“I’m getting skilled at the 10,000 Swords Territory.” Under Duan Ling Tian’s control, the area within a hundred-meter radius around him had transformed into an ocean of swords.

Tens of thousands of swords flew at the same time, appearing extremely magnificent.

In the end, after taking all the bandits’ Spatial Rings, Duan Ling Tian gathered the tens of thousands of swords and formed a flying sword underneath his feet. It carried him in the northeast direction quickly to the capital of Windfall Nation.

While Duan Ling Tian made his journey to the capital, a sorrowful cry resonated in a mountain range not far away from Cui Village.

“Third Brother!” A st.u.r.dy white-haired man stared at the shattered Soul Pearl in front of him with tears in his eyes.

A cold aura immediately emitted out of his body.

“Big Brother, what happened?” Soon after, a scholarly-looking middle-aged man appeared.

When he saw the shattered Soul Pearl, he could not help but feel horrified as well. “T-This is Third Brother’s S-Soul Pearl?”

“I don’t care who he is, but I’ll find whoever it is and avenge Third Brother!” The old man’s eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears. His voice was filled with hatred and coldness.

“I’ll investigate this matter immediately.” The middle-aged scholar’s face was extremely pale. Although three of them were not blood brothers, their relations.h.i.+p was closer than that of blood brothers.

The group of bandits found the bodies of Third Brother Deng and the others in just a short time because Duan Ling Tian did not destroy their bodies to get rid of the evidence. After that, the bandits carried the bodies back to their hideaway.

“Big Brother, I’ve asked around in the few villages around the place where Third Brother died… According to them, Third Brother died when he was pursuing a young man.” Not only was the middle-aged scholar the Second Chief of the group of bandits, but he was also the strategist and the brain of the bandit group. It did not take him long to find all these out. “I’ve asked the people from Cui Village. That young man had approached them to ask for directions to the capital.”

“The capital?” When the old man heard the middle-aged scholar’s words, he clenched his teeth immediately. “Then he shall die in the capital!”

“Big Brother, y-you plan on going to the capital?” The middle-aged scholar frowned. “Big Brother, based on the wounds on our brothers’ bodies, all of them had died at almost the same moment… I’m afraid the young man’s strength is not inferior to yours! I’ve also taken a look at the surroundings of the place where Third Brother died, and I couldn’t find anything else. I suspect he had used Territory. This means he might be a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse!”

“For the sake of Third Brother, I must go to the capital! Before I left previously, the Fourth Imperial Highness made a promise to me saying if I have a favor to ask of him, he would not reject me if it’s within his ability… Even a Saint Stage powerhouse would still die if the Fourth Imperial Highness gives an order, let alone a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse like him.” Tears filled his eyes. The old man looked as though he had already lost his mind. “Second Brother, go find the people of Cui Village again. Draw a portrait according to their descriptions… Once the portrait is drawn, I’ll make my way to the capital immediately!”

“Big Brother, I’ll thank you on behalf of Third Brother!” The middle-aged scholar bowed at the old man to express his grat.i.tude.
