Chapter 1577: The Dragon Clan's Clan Leader, Di Shan!

Duan Ru Feng's words were like a bolt of lightning to Di Jue.

Di Jue immediately regained his senses and smiled wryly at Duan Ru Feng. "Lord Mansion Master, is there any misunderstanding? I've never even met your son. How could I possibly attack him to the point of killing him?"

At this moment, Di Jue felt wronged as though he was a young girl that had been taking advantage of.

The middle-aged man before him was the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion, a powerful force that was in no way inferior to their dragon clan. His strength was not inferior to the Clan Leader as well.

Even if he was 100 times braver, he still would not dare to offend such a person.

"Looks like you refuse to give up until all hope is gone, huh?" Duan Ru Feng snorted coldly. He could not be bothered to explain more. However, the light in his eyes turned sharper as time went by.

"Di Jue, open up your ears and listen carefully... Duan Ling Tian is the Young Mansion Master of our Azure Cloud Mansion!" Ku Mi said in a deep voice as killing intent gleamed in his eyes.

Duan Ling Tian!

Ku Mi's words entered Di Jue's ears. It was as though a big stone had been thrown into a pool of still water, setting off splashes and ripples. Di Jue was once again shocked.

Naturally, he was not unfamiliar with the name Duan Ling Tian. The moment he recalled how Duan Ling Tian had forced him into a disadvantageous position, his flame of anger did not subside at all. He was eager to catch Duan Ling Tian and crush him until he turned into ashes. Moreover, he also suspected that his son had died in Duan Ling Tian's hands. Due to this reason, he regarded Duan Ling Tian as his mortal enemy.

From the beginning until the end, he did not take Duan Ling Tian seriously. In his eyes, Duan Ling Tian was just a slick and malicious little fellow. If he had not been careless, he would not have fallen for his trick.

In his opinion, that incident was completely humiliating. That humiliation could only be washed away by Duan Ling Tian's blood.

"Elder Ku, are you mistaken? Your Azure Cloud Mansion is a powerful force that's on par with our dragon clan in the Dao Martial Saint Land. That Duan Ling Tian is merely a lad from the Mortal Continent. It's impossible for him to have any connections with the Azure Cloud Mansion." Di Jue tried his luck as he took a deep breath.

"Di Jue, it seems like you're still unaware. Not only is our Young Mansion Master from the Mortal Continent, but even our Mansion Master is from the Mortal Continent!" Ku Mi smirked as soon as he heard Di Jue's words.

Ku Mi's words had also completely crushed the tiny bit of hope left in Di Jue's heart. Horror dawned on Di Jue, an expression of terror appeared on his face.

Duan Ling Tian whom he hated to the core was the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?!

How was this possible?!

Even until now, Di Jue still found it hard to believe even though the facts had been laid out in front of his eyes.

"You almost killed my son. I'm not qualified to be a father if I don't do anything about this." Duan Ru Feng glanced indifferently at Di Jue. His voice was calm, but it was laced with a terrifying coldness. "However, I won't bully you... I'll lower my cultivation base to your level, and if you can endure ten blows from me, I won't kill you." Duan Ru Feng's words brimmed with confidence.

Lowering his level to his level? Ten blows?

Di Jue's eyes lit up immediately when he heard Duan Ru Feng's words since he thought there was no way for him to avoid this disaster. In his opinion, he was 100% confident he would be able to defeat a human Martial Cultivator at the same level.

Unfortunately, dreams were always more beautiful than reality.

Duan Ru Feng was not someone who could be compared to ordinary human Martial Cultivators.

Di Jue had reverted into his true form, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, and he endured eight blows from Duan Ru Feng. However, when Duan Ru Feng's ninth blow landed, it severely injured Di Jue. The initially majestic Five-clawed Gold Dragon looked completely wretched like a loach.

"Impossible!" Di Jue who was severely injured by Duan Ru Feng found it hard to accept this.

He was certain Duan Ru Feng had lowered his cultivation base to his level. However, in front of Duan Ru Feng, it felt as though both his hands were bound. He could not attack at all.

In his eyes, Duan Ru Feng was like a tall, huge, and insurmountable mountain.

Each and every move of Duan Ru Feng seemed as though it could conquer heaven, pressuring him. Moreover, not only did he feel the pressure externally, but he felt it internally as well. It exhausted him, causing him to be on the verge of passing out.

At this moment, he finally realized how terrifying the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion was.

"To think he has lowered his cultivation base to my level... If he didn't do that, just how terrifying is his strength? Even the Clan Leader is not this strong, right?" At that moment, Di Jue was completely shocked by how powerful Duan Ru Feng was that he had completely forgotten about Duan Ru Feng's earlier words.

However, just as Duan Ru Feng stopped attacking, his eyes gleaming murderously, Di Jue was hit with a pang of realization and instantly regained his senses. Horror dawned on his face right away.

"Mansion Master Duan, I admit that I did indeed almost kill Duan Ling Tian! However, I wanted to kill him because he played a trick on me. Moreover, it's very likely he had killed my son!" On the verge of death, Di Jue felt like he had nothing to lose anymore. He shouted, "Don't tell me your son is a son, Mansion Master Duan, but my, Di Jue's son is not a son? He killed my son so are you trying to tell me that I shouldn't seek revenge? How is this fair?"

"Fair?" When Duan Ru Feng heard Di Jue's words, he smirked immediately. "Di Jue, I'm afraid I'm not even a quarter of your age. In the Dao Martial Saint Land, it has always been the strong ones who rule, remember? In the face of someone powerful, there's no such thing as fairness! I'm sure you know about this, right?! If you want to talk about fairness, alright then. Tell me, have you heard the members of my son's sect talk about fairness when you killed all of them? If you really want fairness, let me tell you then. I, Duan Ru Feng, am fair!" In a rare moment, Duan Ru Feng spilled all these words out. Perhaps, he would be happy only if Di Jue died, or perhaps, there was another reason.

The moment the words left his mouth, the aura on his body changed completely. The air in the surroundings trembled as though the apocalypse was coming. The moment his words left his mouth, the aura on his body had completely changed.

The terrifying aura on Duan Ru Feng intensified in just a blink of an eye, transforming into a black flame that surged up into the sky as though it was going to set the sky on fire.

Whoosh!

As the black flame skyrocketed, half of the sky was enveloped by the black flame. Whether it was Duan Ru Feng, Ku Mi who was standing behind him or Di Jue who was standing in front of him, all of them were shrouded in that black flame as well.

An aura of destruction wafted out in the wake of the black flame as it soared up. Even the group of clansmen in the distance could sense the destructive aura.

Horror immediately dawned on the clansmen of the dragon clan with a lower cultivation base. Blood spurted out of their seven orifices, it was obvious they all suffered from quite a heavy injury. This happened to them even though they were all standing quite a distance away.

There was no doubt Di Jue who was standing in the middle of the black flame suffered the most.

In Ku Mi's opinion, there was no doubt Di Jue would die now that the Mansion Master had made his move.

However, at this moment, Duan Ru Feng did not seem to derive joy from killing Di Jue at all. He furrowed his brows as he snarled coldly, "Di Shan, you finally came!"

Di Shan!

When Ku Mi heard his Mansion Master's words, his heart jolted.

Naturally, he was not unfamiliar with the name Di Shan. It was the name of the current Clan Leader of the dragon clan.

If there was anybody in the dragon clan that he dreaded the most, it was undoubtedly Di Shan.

As the Clan Leader of the dragon clan, Di Shan was someone who was comparable to his Mansion Master. He was not someone Ku Mi could compare to.

As the black flame in the air dissipated just like the dark night turning into day, Di Jue who should have died was covered in a layer of golden light. It even had solidified streaks of light moving non-stop like tiny dragons.

Inside this huge golden layer of light, apart from Di Jue, a sturdy old man was also standing in it.

Dressed in a long golden robe, the old man seemed to have blended into the background as he stood there, emitting a heavy pressure.

Naturally, Duan Ru Feng was unaffected by the pressure. However, Ku Mi was not unaffected. His face was glum, it was obvious he was trying his best to resist the pressure.

This old man was none other than the current Clan Leader of the dragon clan, Di Shan!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

At this moment, five figures appeared behind Di Shan in unison, including Qing Yan the Five-clawed Green Dragon and Zi Jing the Five-clawed Purple Dragon who was easily defeated by Duan Ru Feng. They all shielded Di Jue like the stars surrounding the moon.

Among the five figures, apart from Qing Yan, Zi Jing, and Xue Chan, there were another two old men.

From the aura the two old men emanated, it was apparent that although their strength was not on par with Xue Chan, they were not inferior to Zi Jing.

They were the two of the three Five-clawed Divine Dragons in the dragon clan. In the dragon clan, there had always been five Five-clawed Divine Dragons.

This year, the emergence of Di Yong, the Five-clawed Devil Dragon, had occupied one slot so the dragon clan only had four Five-clawed Divine Dragons.

At this moment, apart from one Five-clawed Divine Dragon who was not in the clan, all them were gathered and glaring viciously at Duan Ru Feng.

However, even when faced with the Five-clawed Divine Dragons, Duan Ru Feng's expression did not falter. It was as though he was facing ordinary humans instead of Five-clawed Divine Dragons.

One of the two Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders who did not make an appearance earlier stepped out and stared at Duan Ru Feng coldly as he asked in a deep voice, "Mansion Master Duan, I don't mind if you trespass into my dragon clan, but you actually want to kill the next Clan Leader of my dragon clan? Do you really think there's no one powerful in the dragon clan?"

When Duan Ru Feng ignored this Five-clawed Divine Dragon, Ku Mi stepped out and glared at the other party before asking coldly, "Who are you to take that tone with my Mansion Master?"
