Chapter 2609 Duan Ling Tian Attacks

“It’s him?!” Yang Kong Ping’s eyes widened involuntarily when he heard Chai Ming’s words. He trembled inwardly. This newly-descended cultivator had killed and crippled a Centurion and Decurion of the Silverwyrm Army half a month ago. The Silverwyrm Army had been trying to find this man!

Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army standing behind Duan Ling Tian turned to look at him in unison. They felt their hearts skip a beat. If what the Centurion of the Silverwyrm Army said is true, this meant their new captain had just ascended half a month ago?

“Newly ascended? The Heavenly Celestial’s Celestial Ascension Pool?”

“Lord Captain has just ascended half a month ago?”

“Moreover, he didn’t ascend to the Bodiless Celestials’ Celestial Ascension Pool, but he ascended to the Heavenly Celestials’ Celestial Ascension Pool?”

“H-how is it possible?!”

“This Silverwyrm Army’s Centurion isn’t lying, is he?”

Duan Ling Tian’s men whispered among themselves, concluding that Chai Ming must be lying! They would have been more inclined to believe his words if he had said their captain had ascended to a Bodiless Celestials’ Celestial Ascension Pool. After all, those Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the mundane realms would become Golden Celestials after they ascended to the Celestial Ascension Pool.

On the other hand, those who ascended to the Heavenly Celestials’ Celestial Ascension Pool were mere Heavenly Celestials. To be more precise, they were only Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestials!

More importantly, Chai Ming had said their captain had only ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven half a month ago! It would have been considered abnormal for a newly-ascended cultivator to become an Orange Moon Heavenly Celestial after half a month, let alone become as strong as their captain! They had witnessed their captain’s strength after all. Even if their captain was weaker than their commander, it was not by much. For these reasons, they completely disregarded Chai Ming’s words.

Outside the restaurant, the crowd had also heard Chai Ming’s words.

“Newly ascended?”

“He just ascended to the Heavenly Celestials’ Celestial Ascension Pool about half a month ago?”

“Is this centurion crazy?”

“He’s delusional. How can someone who had just ascended to the Heavenly Celestials’ Celestial Ascension Pool half a month ago become a Captain of the Black Dragon Army?”

“That’s right! Even if he’s lucky enough to find Captain Huang Ji Bing’s identity token and become a captain, he wouldn’t be able to command his men’s respect if he’s only a Heavenly Celestial!”

“That’s right. Based on how respectful his men are, he has to be a Golden Celestial.”

Similarly, the crowd outside the restaurant came to the same conclusion as Duan Ling Tian’s subordinates. They thought Chai Ming was lying. After all, his words were extremely absurd!

All of a sudden, Yang Kong Ping, Captain of the Silverwyrm Army, began to laugh uproariously. This caught everyone’s attention except for Duan Ling Tian. His eyes were fixed on Duan Ling Tian as he said excitedly, “We’ve been searching high and low for you but to no avail. Who knew we would find you when we least expect it?” He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “Lad, if you’d stayed hidden in the Black Dragon Army’s camp, we might never have found you. However, since you decide to turn yourself in, you must come with me to the Silverwyrm Army’s camp!”

Yang Kong Ping stared at Duan Ling Tian as though he was staring at some priceless treasure. After all, he knew this Captain of the Black Dragon Army possessed extraordinary Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that granted him strength comparable to a Golden Celestial even though he was a mere Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial. If he and the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army could master Duan Ling Tian’s Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, their strength would improve drastically. At that time, the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army’s leader could even head to the Nine Hidden County to see the County Chief to ask for the position of City Governor of Bloody Specter City!

Yang Kong Ping remembered how excited his brother-in-law, the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army, was when he told him about the newly-ascended cultivator. For this reason, during this half a month, the Silverwyrm Army had been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the newly-ascended cultivator. Who knew he had joined the Black Dragon Army and even became a captain?

Boom!

As soon as Yang Kong Ping finished speaking, a loud explosion rang in the air as Celestial Origin Energy surged out of Yang Kong Ping and shrouded him like a ball of flame. He looked like a god of war at this moment.

Bang!

Soon after, Yang Kong Ping stomped both his feet, causing the ground to quake. A wind began to blow violently in the restaurant, knocking down many chairs and tables.

Whoosh!

Then, Yang Kong Ping charged toward Duan Ling Tian like a predator with his arms wide open. However, he did not use a killing move, he merely intended to capture Duan Ling Tian. After all, Duan Ling Tian was more useful to him alive than dead. He needed to bring him back alive to the Silverwyrm Army’s camp! This way, he and the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army would be able to obtain the extraordinary Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities. He no longer cared that Duan Ling Tian was a Captain of the Black Dragon Army. He would have to ask brother-in-law, the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army, to deal with it later. At this moment, he had no time to consider anything else apart from capturing his target.

“Lord Captain, look out!” Duan Ling Tian’s subordinates cried out in unison when Yang Kong Ping shot out. Upon seeing this, they became so anxious that they had forgotten their captain’s strength far surpassed all the Captains of the Black Dragon Army. After all, Yang Kong Ping was even weaker than He Jin Kun who was weaker than their captain.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

A series of swords’ cries rang in the air.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, sword rays shot out of Duan Ling Tian who was facing the incoming attack calmly. At a glance, it seemed like there were at least tens of thousands of sword rays.

Everyone’s attention was still focused on Duan Ling Tian’s dazzling sword rays when a miserable shriek rang in the air. It sounded so wretched and painful that it sent chills running up everyone’s spines.

Bang!

Another loud explosion rang in the air. At this time, everyone finally had a clear look at what was happening.

Yang Kong Ping, the Captain of the Silverwyrm Army, who was charging toward Duan Ling Tian had his hand severed before Duan Ling Tian sent him flying with a kick.

It was clear the miserable cry had come from Yang Kong Ping.

“No——” Yang Kong Ping cried out. He watched as the sword rays shot toward his severed arm. He could still reattach his arm as long as it was not destroyed, but once it was destroyed, he would really be a cripple.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sword rays flew toward the severed arm like a swarm of locusts. All that was left of Yang Kong Ping’s severed arm was a blood mist and a palm. The reason the palm was not destroyed was due to the protection of a glove. The glove was Yang Kong Ping’s Celestial Weapon.

Upon seeing his severed arm destroyed, Yang Kong Ping spat out a mouthful of blood due to anger and embarrassment.

“Kong Ping!” An angry female voice rang in the air at this moment. A flash could be seen as a huge but agile woman flew toward Yang Kong Ping and caught him.
