1084: C1084 Shock

C1084 Shock

The one who spoke was a cultivator whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Heavenly Dao Stage. Although his strength was not comparable to Zhao Qiansong, Wang Lianhua, and Yang An, who were all half-step Saints, he still had his own reputation and status in the easternmost region.

As for the force he belonged to, it was also one of the more famous forces in the East District.

However, compared to the force that Yang An and company belonged to, it was still inferior. The reason he spoke was because he wanted to curry favor with Yang An.

"Ling Jian, as a cultivator of the East Sky, you shouldn't have shown up at today's welcoming feast. However, since you've shown up, don't you know why? If it weren't for Young Master Yang, do you think you could have come in? You should be thanking Young Master Yang.

The man said with a smile. At the same time, after he finished speaking, waves of cold laughter came from the surroundings.

They also knew that no matter what method Ling Jian used to enter the banquet, he would inevitably be humiliated in this place.

However, Ling Jian did not take this to heart. He merely glanced at the man who had suddenly spoken before withdrawing his gaze.

"Why, did you not hear what I just said?" The man's gaze sank when he saw that Ling Jian had only glanced at him before withdrawing his gaze.

He felt Ling Jian was too arrogant. He was the only one from the East Sky among all the cultivators.

If Ling Jian was stronger, it would be reasonable. However, he was only in the late stage of the Heavenly Judgment Stage.

What gave him the right to be so arrogant?

"What is your name?"

Ling Jian ignored the man and spoke in a cold voice.

The cultivator was also shocked. He was stunned for a while and then sneered, "So what if I tell you my name? I don't care if I change my name or not. My last name is Xuan Dong."

Xuan Dong sneered, "I have told you my name. Are you begging me for mercy?"

Ling Jian shook his head and said, "Begging for mercy? You're thinking too much."

"Hmph, since you're not here to beg for mercy, then why are you asking for my name?"

Xuan Dong sneered. No matter what Ling Jian wanted to do, he had already made a fool of Ling Jian.

However, what Ling Jian said next made Xuan Dong's face change.

He heard Xuan Dong say indifferently, "The reason I asked for your name is to tell you that you will be the first person to die in my hands."

"What?"

Xuan Dong's face subconsciously twitched, but he quickly recovered, and his face was filled with coldness.

What did he hear?

Ling Jian said he wanted to kill him?

Boom!

Before Xuan Dong could react, an incomparably low and deep thunder roar suddenly resounded over this place.

The corner of Xuan Dong's eyes twitched after sensing the shock of the thunder roar. He could sense that the might that had suddenly erupted caused him to be unable to resist.

The thunder had yet to cease because of this when a second thunder roar sounded. After which, Xuan Dong's body swiftly fell into the distance like a cannonball.

Many pairs of eyes immediately looked towards the spot where Xuan Dong's body had landed. After which, their eyes began to twitch rapidly.

There was no sign of Xuandong's body on the ground, nor was there any sign of the ground breaking. If anything, it was a puddle of blood.

At that instant, the crowd of cultivators fell into a dead silence.

Xuan Dong was killed?

How was this possible?

One had to know that although Xuan Dong's cultivation wasn't as strong as Yang An, Wang Lingshan, and Yang An, who were half-step Saints, he was still one of the strongest amongst those at the peak of the Heavenly Dao.

Furthermore, the person who attacked Xuan Dong was only at the late stages of the Heavenly Retribution Realm.

How did he do it?

The entire place was stunned for a moment before numerous gazes once again looked towards Ling Jian. Their gazes were filled with shock and uncertainty as they continuously swept their eyes over him. It was as though this was the first time they had discovered something unusual about Ling Jian.

Although there was only a small difference in cultivation between the late stages of the Heavenly Dao Realm and the peak stages of the Heavenly Dao Realm, there weren't many sailors that could easily jump realms and kill someone in one move.

For Ling Jian to be able to kill a cultivator at the peak of the Grade of Tianyuan in one strike, it only meant that Ling Jian himself was extremely talented. His own strength was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"Damn it, Ling Jian, how dare you attack us here? Do you think we still exist?"

After being stunned for a moment, Yang An finally reacted, and his eyes were soon filled with anger.

No matter what, this welcoming banquet should be the place where they would show up. However, he didn't expect that Ling Jian would be the first one to walk away.

"Humph! Damn you! What's wrong with killing you?"

Ling Jian's tone was indifferent, and there was obvious disdain in his words.

Seeing this, Yang An didn't know what to say.

Xuan Dong was at the peak of the Heavenly Dao Stage after all. Although he wasn't weak in the Middle Sky, it was impossible for him to join the group.

However, Xuan Dong was still a genius of the Grade of Tianyuan. Now that he was killed by Ling Jian in front of them, they didn't feel proud at all.

"Ling Jian, you've gone too far. We allowed you to attend the welcoming banquet, but that doesn't mean you can cause trouble as you please."

At this moment, a cold voice sounded. The person who spoke was no stranger to Ling Jian. It was Zhao Qiansong.

After that, Zhao Qiansong walked over to Ling Jian.

Ling Jian frowned. He didn't have a good impression of Zhao Qiansong. Now that he saw Zhao Qiansong walking over, he didn't feel anything and just ignored him.

When Zhao Qiansong saw this, he frowned as well. Displeasure immediately appeared on his face. He was about to speak when he heard a voice.

"Ling Jian, hurry up and apologize to them."

Ling Jian looked at the person who spoke again. His eyes became a lot gentler because the person who came was none other than Nalan Mingyue.

Nalan Mingyue also walked towards Ling Jian. No matter what, she had to protect Ling Jian now. Today was a welcoming banquet, and it was wrong for Ling Jian to kill someone.

Moreover, the relationship between Ling Jian and Zhao Qiansong wasn't good to begin with. If she didn't step out now, Zhao Qiansong might really use some dirty tricks.

If Ling Jian fell into the trap, it would be too late for her even if she wanted to.

Zhao Qiansong's face was dark. In the end, he didn't choose to attack Ling Jian.

"Hmph. I'll let you off today for Mingyue's sake."

Yang An also laughed coldly and stopped pursuing Ling Jian's gains and losses.

When the cultivators saw this scene, all of them had a weird look in their eyes. Some of them couldn't help but sigh. This Ling Jian was really lucky.

After all, Ling Jian had really killed him. In this situation, Nalan Mingyue had only made a move, yet it had given Ling Jian a way out, even though he had to apologize.

In this case, anyone who wasn't a fool would choose to apologize. After all, they felt that an apology was nothing compared to their own lives.

However, just when all the cultivators present thought that Ling Jian was really going to apologize...

They heard Ling Jian say, "Apologize? Why should I? He is a man who should die. I just killed a man who should die."

[A man who should die.]

The crowd was in an uproar.

Ling Jian's eyes were cold. If it wasn't because this was Zhong Tai Tian, he might have continued to kill Wang Lian Shan, Yang An, Zhao Qiansong, and the others. The reason he kept such a low profile was because he didn't want to cause any trouble.

After all, he could even kill late-stage Saints, and most of the people gathered here were half-step Saints. Killing them was as easy as crushing an ant.

However, after Ling Jian finished speaking, everyone became silent.

What did they hear?

Ling Jian didn't even know how to apologize, and he was so stubborn.

Under such circumstances, unless you have a powerful background, you can't possibly live, can you?]

Besides, Ling Jian was just a cultivator from the East Sky.

"How could he not know what is good for him? It seems nobody can save him this time."

"He doesn't know what is good for him. I have heard that he doesn't know what is good for him."

"This is going to be a good show."

At that instant, many cultivators were discussing among themselves. Some of them were not optimistic about Ling Jian's chances.

Wang Lingshan, Yang An, and Zhao Qiansong all had gloomy expressions. They had already given face to Ling Jian for the sake of Nalan Mingyue, but they didn't expect Ling Jian to be so unyielding.

This was obviously not putting them in his eyes at all.

Not to mention Wang Lian Shan and the others, even Nalan Mingyue's face was burning hot at this moment. It was not because she was shy, but because she was really angry.

Nalan Mingyue's beautiful eyes glared fiercely at Ling Jian as she coldly said, "Ling Jian, quickly apologize to me!"

"Mingyue, you don't need to care about him. I don't think he will appreciate it."

Zhao Qiansong shook his head. He felt that Nalan Mingyue's good intentions were treated like a donkey's liver and lungs.

However, although Ling Jian did not give him any face, he also had the chance to continue making trouble now.

He did plan to set Ling Jian on fire, but now it seemed he was going to do it himself.

He heard Yang An say coldly, "Ling Jian, you foolishly killed Xuan Dong. This whole matter is your fault. How about this, seeing that you are my savior, I will spare your life. But I'm afraid you won't be able to preserve your own cultivation."

Although Yang An knew that a life for a life was a life, he didn't tear off his face. On the contrary, he gave Ling Jian a chance to live because of Nalan Mingyue.

He would just cripple Ling Jian's cultivation. As for how Ling Jian would live after his cultivation was crippled, that wasn't something he could think about.

At this moment, almost all the cultivators knew what kind of situation Ling Jian was going to face.

"Humph, if you want to cripple my cultivation, you are not qualified."

Ling Jian spoke in a cold voice. His words showed his attitude.

It was obvious that Ling Jian didn't think highly of Yang An.

At this moment, no matter how good Yang An was, his face changed after hearing what Ling Jian said.

He was a half-step Saint, and Ling Jian was still far from him.

Furthermore, the Xuan Dong that Ling Jian killed was only at the peak stages of the Heavenly Dao. He didn't put him in his eyes at all.

"Ling Jian, there's no point in talking anymore. Since you want to die, then don't blame me."

Yang An laughed coldly.

The fact that Ling Jian didn't know what was good for him made him lose face. He just wanted to cripple Ling Jian's cultivation as soon as possible.

Boom!

As he spoke, a terrifying wave of Spiritual Energy radiated from his body. The aura of a half-step Saint instantly exploded.

Everyone in the banquet looked toward Yang An.

Half-Step Saint Realm. This cultivation was obviously much stronger than Xuan Dong's. Although it was only half a step, Yang An was still half a step into the Saint Realm. In terms of strength and aura, he wasn't something Xuan Dong, who was at the peak of the Heavenly Dao, could compare with.

Furthermore, even though the half-step Saint level wasn't the strongest in the eastern part of the city, it was definitely one of the strongest.

"Ling Jian, I think you should take the initiative to take Jiang Feizhou out. Otherwise, you'll lose even more face if I take him away."

Yang An finally revealed his true appearance. He also coveted the flying ship.

Ling Jian's eyes turned cold as he said coldly, "Hmph, if you want a flying ship, then just come at me."

"Hmph, you're courting death."

Yang An felt that Ling Jian didn't know what was good for him and couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with Ling Jian. Instead, he stomped on the ground and his figure flashed toward Ling Jian like lightning.

"Yang An, you!"

Nalan Mingyue's expression changed. She looked at Yang An's figure and was about to stop him.

"Mingyue, now that things have come to this, it's all Ling Jian's fault. Are you still going to protect him?"

Zhao Qiansong obviously wouldn't stop Nalan Mingyue.

His cultivation was the same as Yang An's, half step into the Saint Realm. On the other hand, Nalan Mingyue was only at the peak of the Heavenly Dao Realm. In just an instant, Zhao Qiansong had already stopped Nalan Mingzhu.

At the same time, Yang An also appeared in front of Ling Jian.

"Lowly thing, do you really think that no one can deal with you?" Yang An appeared in front of Ling Jian and couldn't help but say savagely.

Without any hesitation, he formed a claw with his right hand and grabbed at Ling Jian's lower abdomen.

To cultivators, the importance of the lower abdomen was self-evident.

For cultivators of the Heavenly Dao Realm, because there wasn't a Sacred Infant in their body, the vessel that stored the seventh spirit was in the lower abdomen.

As long as the Heavenly Spiritual Palace was torn apart, Ling Jian's own spiritual energy would dissipate. At that time, Ling Jian would definitely become a cripple.

If it wasn't because of Nalan Mingyue, he wouldn't just destroy Ling Jian's Heavenly Spiritual Palace, he would kill him.1

But even so, Yang An's attack was still quite sharp. In just a split second, his claw had already appeared at Ling Jian's lower abdomen.

However, just as everyone felt that Ling Jian's Heavenly Spirit Palace was going to be torn apart by Yang An...

An unexpected scene occurred.

Slap.

A crisp sound rang out, and Yang An's face was directly slapped by Ling Jian. As the sound of the palm landed, Yang An's body flew out like a parabola.

Plop.

In the end, Yang An's body fell toward the lake.

At this moment, there was dead silence.

Everyone looked at this scene in a daze, as if they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

What did they see?

Yang An, who was half a step into the Saint realm.

He was actually sent flying by Ling Jian with a single slap. Ling Jian's cultivation was only at the late stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm.

Was this the power that a late stage Heavenly Punishment Realm cultivator should have?

... "How is this possible?"

More than one cultivator present had such thoughts.

"Is he really only a Heavenly Retribution Late Stage cultivator?"

"Unbelievable! Yang An has already reached the half-step Saint Realm!"

"Impossible! He's definitely hiding his cultivation!"

"Could he also be at the half-step Saint level?"

"If he's only at the late stages of the Heaven's Retribution level, then he killed Xuan Dong and sent Yang An flying. That would be too heaven-defying."

This scene was shocking.

...

... At this moment, the entire welcoming banquet was filled with discussion.

He didn't expect Ling Jian to be so fierce. Not only did he challenge Yang An who was two levels higher than him, he even sent Yang An flying.

Putting aside normal cultivators, even geniuses like Wang Lianshan, Zhao Qiansong, and Nalan Mingyue were stunned.

Originally, when Yang An made his move, they all thought that Ling Jian would not have a good ending and would have no choice but to cripple the Heaven Spirit Palace. However, the scene that appeared now was the complete opposite of what they had imagined.
