War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2569 - The Death of Gongsun Wen Tian!

When Gongsun Wen Tian discovered Duan Ling Tian was not afraid of his soul attacks, he knew there was nothing else he could do. Duan Ling Tian would definitely come after him for kidnapping Su Li. The only thing he thought would work was to use Su Li as a shield. However, Su Li and Duan Ling Tian's conversation disabused him of that notion.

Earlier, Gongsun Wen Tian thought Duan Ling Tian was lying when he said he would destroy the Gongsun family if he killed Su Li. However, currently, he had no doubt that Duan Ling Tian possessed the capability to do as he had said!

Gongsun Wen Tian stared at Duan Ling Tian and tried to threaten him with Gongsun Xuan Yuan since he knew he could no longer threaten Duan Ling Tian by using Su Li. Duan Ling Tian had tied Su Li's fate to the entire Gongsun family after all. For this reason, he could only look for another alternative. "Duan Ling Tian, my Gongsun family's forefather, Gongsun Xuan Yuan, is the Heavenly Emperor of a Devata Realm. I-If you destroy my Gongsun family, you'll definitely incur his wrath!"

Duan Ling Tian laughed when he heard Gongsun Wen Tian's words. He said scornfully, "Gongsun Xuanyuan? From what I know, although he's from Yan Huang Realm, he has many descendants in other mundane realms as well after he ascended to a Devata Realm." Elder Huo, the pagoda spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, had told him about this. He continued to say, "Moreover, Senior Gongsun Xuan Yuan doesn't only have descendants in the Gongsun family in Yan Huang Realm. He also has descendants in the Yellow Thearch Mansion. Even if your family is his only descendants in Yan Huang Realm, he might not even care about your family. Even if he cares, so what? If I die with your entire family accompanying me, I think it's worth it. Moreover, I might not even die." He was truly unbothered by Gongsun Wen Tian's threat.

Seeing his failure to threaten Duan Ling Tian again, Gongsun Wen Tian's expression changed again.

At this moment, the expressions of all the members of the Gongsun family had turned grim. Even those with a weaker cultivation base who had no idea what was going on could tell there was nothing their old ancestor, the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm, could do to Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, was there a need for their old ancestor to threaten Duan Ling Tian with Su Li and their forefather? Only the weak would need to rely on something to threaten the strong.

The onlookers who were not from the Gongsun family also gradually understood the situation. They were, naturally, shocked. After all, Gongsun Wen Tian was the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm. Such a person was clearly helpless against Duan Ling Tian who had not even turned 100 years old, how could they not feel shocked? If they did not witness this with their own eyes, they would not have believed this.

"Uh…"

"Why is Gongsun Wen Tian acting this way?"

"It seems like Duan Ling Tian isn't afraid of his soul attack. Otherwise, he won't act like this."

"If Duan Ling Tian isn't afraid of his soul attack, it's impossible for him to threaten Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian can't even be threatened with his friend's life and the forefather of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Xuan Yuan."

Gongsun Wen Tian suppressed the unwillingness he felt and asked in a low voice, "You said if Su Li dies, you'll bury the entire Gongsun family with him. Does this mean if I let him go, you'll let the Gongsun family go as well?"

"Yes, well, you can interpret it that way," Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently as though he was not surprised by Gongsun Wen Tian's question.

"D-Does this include… me?" Gongsun Wen Tian asked tentatively. Although he felt it was impossible, he still could not help but ask. He wanted to know if there was any possibility of him surviving if he let Su Li go.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback when he heard Gongsun Wen Tian's question. He could not help but laugh before he said, "You? Gongsun Wen Tian, you've lived for 10,000 years. Do you think I'll let you go? If you were in my shoes, would you let yourself go?"

Gongsun Wen Tian's face turned deathly pale upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words. Although he had expected this outcome, accepting it was a different matter altogether. He was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, and he would be facing his tenth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation in roughly 100 years. Moreover, he was confident he would be able to successfully pass the tribulation and become a Golden Celestial in a Devata Realm. However, in just a blink of an eye, he had lost everything. After cultivation and living for roughly 10,000 years, he treasured his life even more than anyone else. He did not expect to meet this calamity before his ascension. He truly felt unresigned. He hated the predicament he was in. However, he could only hate and blame himself for being greedy and coveting Duan Ling Tian's technique that could snatch Celestial Supreme Treasures away.

Duan Ling Tian's eyes shifted from Gongsun Wen Tian to Gongsun Hong, the other Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial of the Gongsun Family, and asked indifferently, "Do both of you want to do it yourself or should I do it?"

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, not only did Gongsun Wen Tian and Gongsun Hong's expressions change, but the expressions of the other members of the Gongsun family changed as well.

Prior to this, they assumed Duan Ling Tian would take Gongsun Wen Tian's life and stop pursuing this matter, sparing everyone else's life. They did not expect that he also wanted Gongsun Hong's life!

The Gongsun family only had two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials. If both of them died, the Gongsun family would drop to the bottom tier and become a force that was like Tang Sect.

Gongsun Wen Tian became emotional. It was clear he was afraid of Duan Ling Tian taking Gongsun Hong's life. "Duan Ling Tian, I'm the main culprit. This has nothing to do with my junior nephew, Gongsun Hong!"

Duan Ling Tian said knowingly, "Weren't there two people who went to the Yellow Thearch Mansion to abduct Su Li?" Before Gongsun Wen Tian could reply, he said indifferently, "I'll give both of you three breaths to act. If both of you are not dead after the given time, all the members of the Gongsun family will die along with you!"

Currently, the situation was completely different from when Duan Ling Tian had first arrived. At this moment, no one doubted Duan Ling Tian's words and capabilities like they had earlier.

Gongsun Wen Tian and Gongsun Hong's expressions changed again. Gongsun Wen Tian was the first to regain his senses. His body shook violently as he let go of Su Li.

Whoosh!

A raging force surged out of Gongsun Wen Tian's body before it engulfed him. After a moment, he disappeared without a trace. He did not even ask Duan Ling Tian to swear on the lightning penalty oath to not harm the Gongsun family after his death. After all, he knew he was not qualified to make any demands.

"Old ancestor!" The members of the Gongsun family cried out simultaneously in distress when they saw Gongsun Wen Tian had committed suicide.

When Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Gongsun Hong, he saw Gongsun Hong trying to flee. "No! I don't want to die! I want to live!"

Duan Ling Tian scoffed.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The ear-piercing sound of sword whistling rang in the air.

Everyone felt a raging aura from Gongsun Hong as he tried to run away. However, in just a moment, he had also disappeared without a trace.

The two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials who were the reason the Gongsun family was the top force in Yan Huang Realm had died! If the Gongsun family was described as a tiger previously, currently, the family was a tiger without fangs.

After Duan Ling Tian killed Gongsun Hong, he flew toward Su Li who was swaying on his feet, clearly weakened. He brought Su Li with him as he beckoned to Xuan Yuan Zhi, "Let's go."

Xuan Yuan Zhi who was still in a daze over the deaths of the two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the Gongsun Family only regained his senses when Duan Ling Tian called out to him. His respect for Duan Ling Tian had risen even higher now.
