Chapter 2608 The Monstrous Newly-Ascended Cultivator!

Currently, there were only a few dozen people left in Lai Feng Restaurant. Clearly, most people had left the restaurant.

A young man was seated in front of a table while three people stood tall behind him, giving him a formidable aura. The young man was dressed in casual clothing, his features were prominent, and his body was well built. He sat there with an air of importance as though he was the only one that mattered in the world.

The three men standing behind the young man were dressed in the standard silver armor of Silverwyrm Army. Judging by their badges, they were centurions in the Silverwyrm Army.

Meanwhile, nine people stood in front of them. These nine people were dressed in black armor, the standard armor of the Black Dragon Army. Similarly, from the badges on their chest, one could tell two were centurions and seven were decurions.

Based on this, it was easy to deduce the young man was Yang Kong Ping, a Captain of the Silverwyrm Army!

“It’s you?!” One of the middle-aged centurion standing behind Yang Kong Ping exclaimed in shock upon seeing Duan Ling Tian. A hint of disbelief could be heard in his tone as well. The expression on his face seemed to indicate he had just seen something or someone terrifying!

Duan Ling Tian who had just entered the restaurant instinctively turned to look at the source of the voice. He recognized the middle-aged man immediately. The middle-aged man was one of the centurions present on the scene when he killed another Centurion of the Silverwyrm Army near the Celestial Ascension Pool. The other party had tried to kill him by launching a soul attack at that time. He looked at the seemingly-middle-aged man and said indifferently, “What a coincidence… We meet again.”

At the same time, the nine soldiers from the Black Dragon Army looked at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes and greeted him respectfully in unison.

“Lord Captain!”

“Lord Captain!”

‘H-he really replaced Huang Ji Bing as a Captain of the Black Dragon Army!’ The Silverwyrm Army’s centurion who had met Duan Ling Tian before was stunned when he saw the soldiers from the Black Dragon Army respectfully greeting Duan Ling Tian. Since he had heard Tong Zheng’s words before they came in, he knew the first person who walked into the restaurant would be the new captain who replaced Huang Ji Bing. Initially, when he saw Duan Ling Tian, he had felt skeptical. After all, how was it possible for someone who had just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven become a Captain of the Black Dragon Army? Based on his experience in the Silverwyrm Army, he knew it was not easy to gain respect from the soldiers, especially if Duan Ling Tian had merely found Huang Ji Bing’s token. To gain the recognition of his men, Duan Ling Tian had to possess tremendous strength. As he watched the scene before him, it seemed there was no room left for doubt that Duan Ling Tian had truly replaced Huang Ji Bing as captain.

‘Moreover, his strength is proven when he killed Zheng Gang. I forgot that his strength is equivalent to an ordinary Golden Celestial… With his strength, it’s not too difficult for him to take the position of a Captain of the Black Dragon Army.’ The middle-aged centurion from the Silverwyrm Army became further convinced when he recalled the scene where his colleague was killed by Duan Ling Tian.

At this moment, Yang Kong Ping, Captain of the Silverwyrm Army, stared at Duan Ling Tian coldly and asked, “You’re the new captain from the Black Dragon Army who replaced Huang Ji Bing?”

However, Duan Ling Tian only glanced at Yang Kong Ping briefly before he shifted his attention to his nine men. “Are all of you okay? Did they do anything to you?” His eyes flashed and his voice deepened as he reached the end of his question.

“Lord Captain, we’re fine.”

“We’re fine.”

All nine soldiers from the Black Dragon Army shook their heads before they stepped forward to join Tong Zheng and stand behind Duan Ling Tian. At this moment, all of them stared at the people from the Silverwyrm Army.

“Very well!” Yang Kong Ping’s expression darkened after he was blatantly ignored. He looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly and scoffed. “Even He Jin Kun, the strongest Captain of the Black Dragon Army, doesn’t dare to act so arrogantly before me, Yang Kong Ping!”

He Jin Kun, the strongest among the ten Captains of the Black Dragon Army, was known as the Black Dragon Army’s First Captain. However, that was certainly in question after the battle in the Valley of Ares. After all, only the strongest bore the title of First Captain. After the battle in the Valley of Ares, there was no doubt Duan Ling Tian had become the First Captain of the Black Dragon Army!

Naturally, Yang Kong Ping was unaware of all this. Until now, he did not believe Duan Ling Tian, the new Captain of the Black Dragon Army, was capable of defeating Jian Qiu Ping with a strike! After all, someone with such strength was comparable to the Commanders of the Black Dragon Army and the Silverwyrm Army. In his opinion, those with such strength would not stoop so low and become a captain.

Duan Ling Tian disregarded Yang Kong Ping’s words. He looked at Yang Kong Ping coldly and said, “Fortunately, you didn’t injure any of my people… Otherwise, you’d have to pay with your life!”

Duan Ling Tian’s words seemed to echo loudly in the restaurant.

Silence descended on the restaurant immediately. Even the people outside of the restaurant had fallen silent.

The crowd outside the restaurant could clearly see and hear everything inside. They were dumbfounded when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

‘This new captain… is truly fearless.’ This was the thought that appeared in everyone’s minds. After all, they knew Yang Kong Ping was not just an ordinary Captain of the Silverwyrm Army. He was also the brother-in-law of the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army. For this reason, even He Jin Kun, formerly the strongest captain in the Black Dragon Army, would not simply provoke Yang Kong Ping. How could they not be shocked when they saw Duan Ling Tian acting so fearlessly?

Inside the restaurant, Yang Kong Ping who had regained his senses rose to his feet immediately. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he said, “What did you say?! Even He Jin Kun wouldn’t dare to say such words to me. Do you have a death wish?”

Duan Ling Tian ignored Yang Kong Ping’s killing intent and continued indifferently, “I’ll let this matter go if you cripple one of your arms today. If you don’t, the consequences would be even more severe. I will cripple one of your arms and one of your legs just like what I did to one of the decurions from the Silverwyrm Army!”

Outside the restaurant, the crowd began to discuss among themselves.

“Ferocious! Ferocious! This new Captain of the Black Dragon Army is ferocious! It seems like he doesn’t care that it’s Yang Kong Ping he’s speaking to.”

“In my opinion, this is not ferocious. He’s simply seeking death!”

“Based on his words, it seems like he had crippled an arm and a leg of a Decurion of the Silverwyrm Army?”

Back in the restaurant, Duan Ling Tian’s men who were standing behind him looked at each other in confusion as well. They were, naturally, unaware their new captain had done something like that!

“Cripple an arm and a leg of a Decurion of the Silverwyrm Army?” Yang Kong Ping’s eyes widened suddenly when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words as though he was reminded of something. Half a month ago, it seemed like a cultivator had ascended to one of the Celestial Ascension Pools that was manned by his subordinates. It was said that the newly-ascended cultivator had obtained a remarkable legacy in the mundane realm. Not only did the newly-ascended cultivator crippled an arm and a leg of a decurion under him, but he even killed one of his centurions! When he gave it some thought, it seemed like there had never been a case where a decurion was crippled by a newly-ascended cultivator.

“Lord Captain!” Chai Ming, the middle-aged centurion standing behind Yang Kong Ping, stepped forward and said, “This was the man who ascended to the Heavenly Celestials’ Celestial Ascension Pool half a month ago and killed Zheng Gang after crippling Wang Wei!”

Zheng Gang! Wang Wei!

The two Centurions from the Silverwyrm Army widened their eyes in shock. They had been curious when they saw Chai Ming seem to recognize the new Captain of the Black Dragon Army. How did Chai Ming know the new Captain of the Black Dragon Army? After hearing Chai Ming’s words, realization finally dawned on them. As it turned out, the new Captain of the Black Dragon Army was the monstrous cultivator who ascended half a month ago!
