War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2350 - Yet Another Servan

Swoosh!

Like a shooting star falling from the sky, the three-foot-long sword continued to close the distance between it and Chen Yi Ru.

100 meters…

50 meters…

20 meters…

When the three-foot-long sword was only a short distance away from Chen Yi Ru, it stopped abruptly in a manner that defied inertia. It hovered in the air as it emitted a chilling and intimidating qi.

When Chen Yi Ru felt the cold qi blowing against his face, he opened his eyes in confusion. "Hmm?" He saw the three-foot-long sword hovering close to him, unmoving. It would have killed him if it was any closer. 'He's not going to kill me?' A surge of joy rose in his heart after his close brush with death, he instinctively turned to look at Duan Ling Tian in surprise. Naturally, amidst the joy, fear still lingered in his heart. He was so terrified of Duan Ling Tian's strength that he dismissed his intention of opposing Duan Ling Tian. To him, Duan Ling Tian was not an Eminent Celestial but a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! In fact, even an ordinary Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial might not be a match for Duan Ling Tian! He looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked solemnly, "W-why did you stop?"

"Because I'm going to give you a choice…" Duan Ling Tian replied nonchalantly, "If you swear on the lightning penalty oath now and acknowledge me as your master, I'll spare your life. However, I won't force you. If you refuse, I'll grant you a quick death!" Then, he rose higher into the sky.

When Chen Yi Ru heard Duan Ling Tian's words, he narrowed his eyes as anger coursed through his body. He said without any hesitation, "Impossible! A gentleman would rather die than suffer humiliation. How can I, Chen Yi Ru, a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, submit to you, an Eminent Celestial?!" He had his pride as a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial after all. Although he did not want to die, he would not submit himself to humiliation.

Duan Ling Tian laughed coldly as his eyes flashed with killing intent. "You're truly stubborn. Fine, I'll make it quick. Considering your principles, I'll use my strongest attack to grant you a quick death!" To a certain extent, he respected Chen Yi Ru for standing by his principle.

'Strongest attack?' Chen Yi Ru's heart skipped a beat. "Does this mean he didn't even use his strongest attack to dispel my World Annihilation Saber? H-how's that possible? That attack is comparable to the strength of a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! In fact, not every Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial would be able to cast such a deadly attack!"

Chen Yi Ru was still in a state of shock when Duan Ling Tian rose up into the sky. At this moment, Duan Ling Tian's body began to radiate a light that was as bright as the sun. It did not take long before millions of sword rays shot out of his body and his body began to disappear and fused with the sword rays. Millions of sword rays converged before they formed a simple white three-foot-long sword.

Swish!

The three-foot-long white sword shot out at a moderate speed at this moment.

"This…" Let alone Chen Yi Ru, even his two followers could see the three-foot-long blade as it shot out.

Rrripp!

The three-foot-long blade tore the void open when it shot out.

Chen Yi Ru and his two followers' eyes widened instantly when they saw the crack in the void. Compared to the cracks earlier, it was two times longer.

Chen Yi Ru thought to himself in shock, 'I'm afraid it'll take at least thirty minutes for this crack to close. I-it seems like only Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestials or those who are stronger are able to open a crack like this! Is this his strongest strike? A strike that's comparable to the strength of a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?'

Chen Yi Ru could not help but feel amazed. Duan Ling Tian was only an Eminent Celestial. However, when he cast his assist-type Divine Ability and used his sword techniques, his attack was comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! 'Is his sword technique from a Devata Realm as well?' After a while, he dismissed that thought. 'No, it can't be. He's the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny. The previous successor of the Fog Rain Progeny is Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang… D-don't tell me he inherited Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang's sword technique as well? This explains it. After all, Feng Qing Yang was invincible during his time. It was said that when he was an Eminent Celestial, he killed an Eighth Tribulation Bodiless Celestial before he ascended to a Devata Realm!' Many thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment. His eyes were filled with reverence when he thought about Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang.

"Chen Yi Ru, I'll end your life today with my strongest attack!" Duan Ling Tian's voice caused Chen Yi Ru to regain his senses. He felt chills running up his spine. He looked at the sword that seemed to have spoken.

When Duan Ling Tian was about to attack, Chen Yi Ru cried out in a hurry, "Hold on!"

"Hmm?" The three-foot-long sword stopped moving again.

"Duan Ling Tian… you're the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny. Does this mean you inherited your sword technique from Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang? Are you his successor?" Chen Yi Ru asked after he took a deep breath.

"So what if I am?" Duan Ling Tian's voice resonated indifferently from the three-foot-long white sword.

"Your sword technique… Is it Senior Feng Qing Yang's lost technique?" Chen Yi Ru asked again.

"Since you'll die anyway, there's no harm telling you I supposed. I'm indeed Senior Feng Qing Yang's successor. I inherited this sword technique from him!" Since Duan Ling Tian had a slight respect for Chen Yi Ru's determination to adhere to his principles, he decided to divulge this information to him. Usually, he would not waste so many words with someone he was going to kill. However, he was stunned when Chen Yi Ru instantly swore on the lightning penalty oath to acknowledge him as his master as soon as he finished speaking. It took him a while to regain his senses.

Duan Ling Tian was bewildered. 'Wasn't he really stubborn? Didn't he rather die than give in? Was he putting up an act earlier? Could he be afraid of death after all?'

Duan Ling Tian was not the only one who felt bewildered, but even Ke'er, Duan Si Ling, Gan Ru Yan, and Chen Yi Ru's two followers were bewildered.

"My lord… He actually swore on the lightning penalty oath and acknowledged Duan Ling Tian as his master?" The skinny and burly middle-aged men saw the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes when they exchanged a look. Since they followed Chen Yi Ru, they knew his temperament very well. He was the kind of person who valued his dignity more than his pride. For this reason, they were not surprised that their master would choose death over acknowledging Duan Ling Tian as his master. However, after conversing with Duan Ling Tian, he suddenly changed his mind and swore on the lightning penalty oath without any hesitation! They were even more surprised than Duan Ling Tian and the three ladies when they saw this.

"It seems like I was wrong about you. As it turns out, you're a coward after all!" The three-foot-long white sword disappeared, and Duan Ling Tian appeared in its wake. He looked at Chen Yi Ru disdainfully.

"There's nothing shameful about recognizing Senior Feng Qing Yang's successor as my master…" Chen Yi Ru did not seem to mind the disdain in Duan Ling Tian's eyes. He shook his head and straightened his back before he bowed and said, "Chen Yi Ru greets master!"

From then on, Duan Ling Tian gained a follower who was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!
