War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
Chapter 2121 - A Trap?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian was surprised by the fact that he had unwittingly become a protector to those who participated in Death Duels in Sin City, but he knew it was out of his control. Although there was another Death Duel taking place in front of him, he only watched on emotionlessly. He had witnessed many Death Duels in Sin City, and so far, there seemed to be no foul play. His only concern was if there was going to be any foul play.
Boom!
The winner of the Death Duel was decided very quickly. The saber ray from one of the men's Saint Saber swiftly killed his opponent. Naturally, the victor also sustained some minor injuries during the Death Duel. Previously, this person would have immediately fled the scene since he was afraid he would be taken advantage of in his weakened state. Others might rob and kill him on the spot. Instead, today, he began to tend to his wounds openly without moving from his spot and took a pill as though there was no one in his surroundings.
"The situation in Sin City seems to have improved greatly since the appearance of the black-robed man. If it was before, this man wouldn't have dared to linger on the scene to treat his wound after being injured in a battle."
Many spectators shook their heads when they saw the victor's behavior after his victory. No one would have acted this way in the past.
"Although I am confident that I'm able to kill him and I'm tempted by his Spatial Ring and the Spatial Ring of the man he killed, I don't dare to take advantage of the situation when I think of the black-robed man!" A sectless cultivator said with a laugh.
Previously, similar to the members of the Black Crow Alliance, he loved to prey on such easy prey. However, since the appearance of the black-robed man, he was relieved he did not act that way recently. Otherwise, he might have been killed. Nowadays, even when he saw people who were weakened by fights, he did not dare to take advantage of them. Who knew if the black-robed man was watching? He did not want to tempt fate. He would not risk his life since if he lost, he would die!
"Many people said that the black-robed man is just taking advantage of the situation as well. I think that's not true. There are many Death Duels in Sin City recently and many people were severely injured after their fights, but the black-robed man did not prey on them. Doesn't this prove he's not a bad person?" A sectless cultivator said in support of Duan Ling Tian.
"I agree." Many sectless cultivators nodded in assent.
Boom!
Just as the spectators were about to leave, a loud explosion rang in the air. A vast and powerful energy suddenly appeared and shrouded the man who was tending to his wounds. It killed him instantly. The man was blown into pieces. There was nothing left of him except for his Spatial Rings.
"H-he died?" The spectators exclaimed in shock.
"A Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse!"
Many sectless cultivators knew it was the work of a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse. It would have been impossible for anyone else to launch that kind of attack.
"Eh?" This turn of events startled Duan Ling Tian who was about to leave as well. He turned around and looked up at the sky. He saw a figure hovering in the air.
"A member of the Black Crow Alliance?" Duan Ling Tian said as he raised an eyebrow. He saw the other person was wearing the uniform of the Black Crow Alliance member. He had killed so many people from the Black Crow Alliance that he was familiar with their uniforms.
'A Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse? How interesting…' Previously, the strongest member of the Black Crow Alliance whom Duan Ling Tian had killed was only a cultivator at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage. He had yet to encounter a powerhouse at the Saint Celestial Stage. Therefore, all the Innate Spiritual Roots he had devoured were ordinary ones.
Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, excited now that a powerhouse at the Saint Celestial Stage from the Black Crow Alliance had appeared. This person's Innate Spiritual Root had to be quite good for him to be at the Saint Celestial Stage compared to the others.
"He's from the Black Crow Alliance! Isn't he afraid of being killed by the black-robed man?" Several sectless cultivators who were prepared to leave stopped immediately. They had identified the man's identity based on his uniform just like Duan Ling Tian did.
"Didn't you see his strength when he attacked? He's a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse! He might not be afraid of the black-robed man."
"True. Although the black-robed man is strong, up until now, the strongest person he killed was only at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage cultivator… The black-robed man might not be strong enough to kill this Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse!"
"This Black Crow Alliance member doesn't seem to be in a hurry to leave after killing and looting from the dead man. It's obvious he's not afraid of the black-robed man!"
"Do you think the black-robed man will appear?"
Under the watchful gaze of the sectless cultivators, the Black Crow Alliance member collected the Spatial Rings of the person he killed before he descended from the sky. It seemed like he had no plans of leaving after collecting the Spatial Rings since he was just standing there looking around as though he was searching for something or someone.
"What's he looking for?"
"Could it be that he's waiting for the black-robed man?"
"It seems like the Black Crow Alliance has finally decided to retaliate! This Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse from the Black Crow Alliance has come to defeat the black-robed man and avenge the members he had killed!"
"That's possible."
Many sectless cultivators figured out the intention of the powerhouse at the Saint Celestial Stage from the Black Crow Alliance when they saw him lingering on the scene. If he did not plan to defeat the black-robed man, was there a need for him to wait for those two men to finish with their Death Duel before he attacked the victor? Since he was at the Saint Celestial Stage, he could have easily dealt with those two men who were only at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage even if they were at the peak of their strength. There was no reason for the man from the Black Crow Alliance to wait for them to finish their Death Duel before killing the victor. It was not difficult for the people to figure this out.
"Do you think the black-robed man will appear if he hears about what happened? Many sectless cultivators were curious.
"I'm guessing the black-robed man won't come. It's obvious this man from the Black Crow Alliance came prepared. Disregarding his strength at the Saint Celestial Stage, there might be other members of the Black Crow Alliance lying in wait."
"I definitely won't come if I'm the black-robed man… It's obvious that this is a trap!"
"I agree with you."
Most sectless cultivators had a good impression of the black-robed man. They all sincerely hoped Duan Ling Tian would not show up.
Hidden in the dark, Duan Ling Tian asked Elder Huo, "Is it a trap?" He asked Elder Huo to check the surroundings to see if there were people hiding, and if there were, what were their cultivation bases like. It was better to be safe than sorry.
Duan Ling Tian was aware of the risk of being careless.
Meanwhile, many sectless cultivators began to leave when they thought Duan Ling Tian would not appear. On the other hand, those who had just received the news instantly rushed here, hoping to watch a show.
As the crowd gathered, there were some people who managed to identify the man from the Black Crow Alliance.
Some of them said in shock, "I-Isn't t-that Jiao Zhan, the Deputy Leader of the Black Crow Alliance?"
"Jiao Zhan?"
A commotion broke out immediately. The way the spectators looked at the man from the Black Crow Alliance changed completely.
Earlier, they thought the Black Crow Alliance member in front of them was just a regular Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse. However, as it turned out, that man was Jiao Zhan, the Deputy Leader of the Black Crow Alliance!
Apart from being the Deputy Leader of the Black Crow Alliance, Jiao Zhan was also extremely powerful. He was considered an elite among those at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was ranked at the 566th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking!
"Jiao Zhan, the Deputy Leader of Black Crow Alliance, personally made an appearance!"
"It's obvious he's here for the black-robed man… However, I'm sure the black-robed man won't appear now that Jiao Zhan is here."
"It seems there's nothing interesting to watch today!"
The group of sectless cultivators was very certain that Duan Ling Tian would not come after they got over their shock of the appearance of Jiao Zhan, the Deputy Leader of the Black Crow Alliance.
"Deputy Leader of the Black Crow Alliance? Jiao Zhan?" A cold voice suddenly rang out. It seemed to magically drown out all the noises in the surroundings even though the voice was not loud. Following that, a figure clad entirely in black appeared before everyone's eyes.
No one knew who was under the loose-fitting black robe with a hood. However, one thing was certain, it was definitely a man.
"The black-robed man!"
The crowd went wild when the black-robed man appeared. All the sectless cultivators were shocked, and they had an expression of disbelief on their faces.
"I didn't expect him to come. Isn't he worried about Jiao Zhan killing him?"
"Doesn't he know that Jiao Zhan is one of the elites among the powerhouses at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage? Jiao Zhan is ranked at the 566th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking."
"He's signing his own death warrant!"
The group of sectless cultivator shook their heads and looked at the black-robed man with a hint of pity in their eyes. Many sectless cultivators even advised Duan Ling Tian to leave while he still had a chance.
"Are you the one who has been killing my men?" Jiao Zhan asked he looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly.
