Chapter 2436 The Death of Zhang Yun Fei

The world of imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel. It did not take long before Zhang Yun Fei learned the meaning of these words.

“Destructive Celestial Thunder!” This time, the strength of the Celestial Technique was much stronger than the one he had cast earlier. It was comparable to the strength of a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, a level stronger than his previous attack.

“Sword Wielding Art!” The sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand shot out immediately. Similar to Zhang Yun Fei, it could be seen that the attack was much stronger than his previous one after he had raised his strength using the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Technique. However, there was a difference between his and Zhang Yun Fei’s attacks; the power of Zhang Yun Fei’s attack seemed to have risen a level whereas his attack seemed to have risen a few levels.

Boom!

Lightning flashed in the sky before striking down. Its power was destructive!

At this moment, both Duan Ling Tian and Zhang Yun Fei’s attacks collided violently. Different from earlier, this time there was no pause. After all, there was only a pause earlier due to the attacks’ equal strength.

This time, Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Sword carried with it an even more terrifying and destructive force as it flew out. Its strength was clearly much more superior compared to the Destructive Celestial Thunder.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening explosions shook the earth, and a shockwave swept out like a hurricane.

In the face of Duan Ling Tian’s attack, the Destructive Celestial Thunder was so weak like a blade of grass. In just a blink of an eye, it was easily nullified by Duan Ling Tian’s attack.

Zhang Yun Fei who had exerted all his strength to cast the Celestial Technique threw up blood as soon his attack was nullified. The ground was dyed a dazzling red by his blood. His face was extremely pale at this moment. His eyes were filled with fear and disbelief as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He said with great difficulty, “H-How’s this possible? My strength is comparable to a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!”

Zhang Yi scoffed when he heard Zhang Yun Fei’s words. He said unhurriedly, “Duan Ling Tian can kill a true Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial if he wants to, let alone an Eminent Celestial like you who only possess the strength of a Five Tribulation Bodiless. How can you compare yourself to him?’

The scene of Duan Ling Tian killing Pei Kun Shan, a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, was still vivid in Zhang Yi’s mind. Therefore, he was not surprised that Duan Ling Tian had easily defeated Zhang Yun Fei.

“What?! Impossible!” Zhang Yun Fei’s body trembled in fear when he heard this. He did not expect the purple-clad young man standing before him possessed such terrifying strength! He thought to himself in anger, ‘Damn it! Damn it all! Who was the one who spread the news about this heaven-rank treasure vault that was left behind by Li Bai, the Green Lotus Sword Celestial? Why did that person forget to mention that Duan Ling Tian had obtained a Celestial Sword and is capable of killing a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?’ At this moment, he had lost all his motivation to fight after witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s strength.

Duan Ling Tian stared at Zhang Yun Fei pointedly and asked in a low voice, “How did you find this place? How do you know my name and that I’m from the Saint Province Realm? Who did you hear this from?” He had an inkling of who the culprit was, but he still wanted confirmation.

Previously, Zhang Yun Fei had arrogantly ignored Duan Ling Tian’s question, but at this moment, how would he dare to ignore Duan Ling Tian after witnessing his strength? He hurriedly replied without pausing to breathe, “I’m not sure who started the rumor. However, word has been spreading about the location of this heaven-rank treasure vault. Moreover, it’s widely known that it’s left behind by Li Bai, the Green Lotus Sword Celestial, from Yan Huang Realm. Apart from that, that person also said there are three people in the treasure vault and each of them possesses a Celestial Supreme Treasure. These people are Duan Ling Tian and Han Xue Nai from the Saint Province Realm and Zhang Yi from the Yan Huang Realm.” He revealed everything he knew, he did not dare to withhold any information at all.

Han Xue Nai’s expression changed as she cried out, “It must be Liu Xia! Apart from her, nobody knows Brother Ling Tian and my name!”

“Liu Xia!” Zhang Yi said through gritted teeth as his body emitted killing intent. Usually, he was patient and was not quick to anger, but he could help but feel angry when he heard that Liu Xia had deliberately sabotaged them after leaving the heaven-rank treasure vault. He thought to himself, ‘Liu Xia really wants us to die!’

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who had his suspicions confirmed remained calm as though he was not angry at all. Who knew if he was truly not affected by this information? After a while, he lifted his hand and the Celestial Sword shot out again. His move was unexpected and carried with it the same terrifying force from before.

“No!!!” Zhang Yun Fei cried out. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would attack him again. He hurriedly waved the Celestial Sword in his hand in a panic, trying to stop the incoming attack. Unfortunately, he was too slow. In just a blink of an eye, his glabella was pierced and blood gushed out from the wound immediately.

It was no surprise to anyone that Duan Ling Tian had easily killed Zhang Yun Fei. After all his strength was comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. If he had cast the Body Fusion Sword, his strength would increase to the level of a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

Zhang Yi’s expression changed dramatically. He did not expect that Duan Ling Tian would directly kill Zhang Yun Fei after all.

“Is there something on your mind?” Duan Ling Tian asked when he noticed the change in Zhang Yi’s expression. He was confused. Did Zhang Yi not want Zhang Yun Fei to die?

“No, no. There’s nothing on my mind!” Zhang Yi shook his head. However, there was a subtle expression of fear and unease that could be seen on his face.

All these, naturally, did not escape Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. He could tell there was something on Zhang Yi’s mind. “Are you certain?”

“Yes. It’s really nothing,” Zhang Yi said. However, when he saw the look in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, he finally said, “It’s just that when you killed Zhang Yi, I’m certain his seniors must have been alerted to his death. However, it’s not a big deal since I don’t think they’ll be able to find you. They won’t be able to seek revenge from you.”

‘Minor Major Mirror Image Talisman?’ A thought instantly popped up in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. With the Minor Major Mirror Image Talisman, the scene prior to one’s death would be transmitted to the other holder of the talisman. After a while, he muttered under his breath, “Strange… I didn’t sense the Minor Major Mirror Image Talisman or any Dao talisman from him earlier…’

Although Duan Ling Tian’s voice was not loud, Zhang Yi clearly heard his words. He explained, “In Yan Huang Realm, these talismans are not called Minor Major Mirror Image Talismans. Moreover, these talismans are considered to be low-grade in our realm. In our realm, one could inscribe such a talisman on one’s body. It functions the same way, but it would not leave a trail behind.” After a while, he added, “However, there’s no need for you to worry. The Beyond Heaven Secret Zone is so big, they definitely won’t be able to find you. Moreover, you’re from a different realm.”

“They might not be able to find me. However, what about you? I’m certain the scene of him being killed must have included you as well. Moreover, his seniors must know you, right?” Duan Ling Tian asked. At this moment, he finally realized the reason behind the change in Zhang Yi’s expression earlier.

When Zhang Yi heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he forced a smile on his face and said, “I’ll be fine. At most, I just won’t return to the Celestial Masters Sect after exiting the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. The world is so big, it wouldn’t be difficult for me to find another home!”

Duan Ling Tian asked, “Would those people from the Celestial Masters Sect still punish you if they find out you’re stronger than Zhang Yun Fei and are highly talented as well?”

“Of course not,” Zhang Yi replied, “Strength is important after all. It’s also due to this reason that Zhang Yun Fei boldly announced he was going to kill me. Although I’m not ranked as high as he was, I’m still considered as talented in the sect. Similar to him, I have a Dao talisman inscribed on my body as well. If he kills me, the scene would be transmitted to my seniors. However, since I’m ranked lower than him, the sect would probably only give him a light punishment as a formality if he really did kill me. After all, in the sect, he’s much more valuable than I am.”
