Chapter 3867: Is It Worth It?

Bloodline powers were unique to natives of the Realms of Gods, and Kuang Tian Zheng naturally had one as well.

Kuang Tian Zheng's bloodline power was rather unique. Unlike most people, there were two uses for his bloodline powers. Not only could his bloodline power passively boost his strength, but he could damage half of his Heavenly Veins in exchange for explosive strength. Naturally, this power came with a condition. He could only strike once before his strength would be weakened by half. Apart from that, he would also be seriously injured. For this reason, the second use was only used in moments of utter desperation.

Kuang Tian Zheng had lived for tens of thousands of years, he had only used that specific power twice. Needless to say, he was fighting for his life both times he had used it. Fortunately, he was lucky to kill his opponents after using the power. In both instances, it took him many years to repair his damaged Heavenly Veins.

'I have no choice. I can only do this now to kill him!'

'There is no other way. I can only do my best to kill him!' Kuang Tian Zheng thought to himself. As soon as he saw Duan Ling Tian had survived his first attack, he knew Duan Ling Tian was already a rudimentary Lord of Gods. He could also sense the change in Duan Ling Tian's Divine Energy. Following that, he discovered that not only did Duan Ling Tian become a rudimentary Lord of Gods, but Duan Ling Tian had also stabilized his cultivation base. This time, he and Xue Ming Zhi had lost their gamble.

Kuang Tian Zheng had one breath left to act. He knew this was his last chance. If he failed, even if Duan Ling Tian could not deal with him, he would still be captured by the White Dragon Elders who were on their way here. For this reason, he did not hesitate to damage half of his Heavenly Veins and use the second trait of his bloodline power. The explosive power he gained could only be channeled into one attack.

"Duan Ling Tian, you must die!" Kuang Tian Zheng, who was shrouded in blood energy, cried out. A dazzling saber, a prominent divine artifact, appeared in his hand. It seemed like it could tear the space apart.

Following that, countless saber rays shot out and merged into a huge saber that seemed to cover the sky. Then, it fell toward Duan Ling Tian so swiftly that Duan Ling Tian had no time to teleport away.

At this time...

"Stop!"

"Kuang Tian Zheng, do you want to die?!"

As soon as Kuang Tian Zheng's attack fell, several voices rang in the air. They naturally belonged to the White Dragon Elders who had just arrived. At this moment, not only were they furious, but they were anxious as well. If someone was killed in the area they were patrolling, not only would the murderer would be punished, but they would also have to bear some responsibility. This was especially true during the Imperial War where every member contributed to the overall strength of the sect. Apart from that, since the Imperial War was going on, it was likely that they would be punished to stay on the Lord Battlefield until they could kill someone of equal strength and status from the Tai Yi Sect. Naturally, no one wanted to stay on the Lord Battlefield longer than necessary since it was extremely dangerous there.

Meanwhile, when Duan Ling Tian saw Kuang Tian Zheng's attack, he said with a hint of praise, "I've never seen such bloodline power before."

Following that, another figure burst out of Duan Ling Tian's body and flew up into the sky.

At the same time, a spatial storm began to rage as Duan Ling Tian brought his prominent divine artifact out. Layers of barriers appeared around him as he donned his defensive artifact to strengthen his defenses.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang in the air as Duan Ling Tian's doppelganger from the law of space blocked part of Kuang Tian Zheng's attack.

Boom!

Another explosion rang in the air as Kuang Tian Zheng's landed on Duan Ling Tian's defensive artifact, which was the armor he was wearing. Cracks appeared quickly before the armor shattered.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Duan Ling Tian struggled to withstand Kuang Tian Zheng's attack. Fortunately, when he could no longer hold the attack back, and it landed on his body, the attack was already greatly weakened. Even then, he was sent flying back and even spat out a mouthful of blood. When he finally managed to stabilize his footing, he felt dizzy, and his body felt as though it was falling apart.

'I was careless,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh. He did not expect that Kuang Tian Zheng would explode with such power after using his bloodline power. The strength of Kuang Tian Zheng's final attack from his bloodline power was not something other inner elders of the Flying Dragon Sect were capable of unleashing.

"Impossible!"

At the same time, Kuang Tian Zheng turned pale immediately when he saw that Duan Ling Tian was still alive. He kept throwing up blood due to his damaged Heavenly Veins; he was clearly severely injured. He no longer had the strength to due with Duan Ling Tian at this time. Even if he still had the strength, he still could not do anything since the patrolling elders had arrived.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The figures appeared, surrounding Kuang Tian Zheng. All of them carried White Dragon Elder tokens at their waists. They looked at the severely-injured Kuang Tian Zheng before they turned to look at Duan Ling Tian, who was also injured. They were shocked when they saw Duan Ling Tian.

Earlier, they had only seen Kuang Tian Zheng attacking, but they did not see the target of Kuang Tian Zheng's attack.

When the White Dragon Elders determined that the purple-clad young man in front of them was Duan Ling Tian, they were even more bewildered.

They knew that Duan Ling Tian was the strongest King of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect. However, even so, it should have been impossible for Duan Ling Tian to survive Kuang Tian Zheng's attack. Even rudimentary Lords of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect would have a hard time trying to withstand Kuang Tian Zheng's attack, let alone an advanced King of Gods like Duan Ling Tian. How could Duan Ling Tian survive the attack when even the most extraordinary rudimentary Lord of God could do so? Although Duan Ling Tian was injured, there was no doubt that he had survived!

Whoosh!

A gust of wind heralded the arrival of a white-haired old man dressed in a sky-blue robe.

As soon as the three White Dragon Elders saw the old man, they bowed and greeted him, "Greetings, Elder Huang."

The identity token hanging at the old man's waist indicated that he was a Black Dragon Elder. He was also the leader of the group of White Dragon Elders who were in charge of patrolling this Roving Dragon Mountain and the areas nearby.

The old man glanced at Kuang Tian Zheng and Duan Ling Tian indifferently before he said to his subordinates, "Bring both of them to the Law Enforcement Hall."

"Understood."

Then, two of the White Dragon Elders moved toward Kuang Tian Zheng while the remaining one moved toward Duan Ling Tian.

The White Dragon Elder, who was next to Duan Ling Tian, said politely, "Duan Ling Tian, I was there when you refined the king-grade Limit Divine Pill."

This White Dragon Elder was also a divine alchemist. No one noticed his presence when he watched Duan Ling Tian refine the king-grade Limit Divine Pill since he was overshadowed by the presence of two Black Dragon Elders.

After taking a healing divine pill, Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile, "Elder, how should I address you?"

Then, Duan Ling Tian looked at the Black Dragon Elder, who was leaving, as various thoughts appeared in his mind.

'It's not strange if the White Dragon Elders arrived late, but isn't it strange that the Black Dragon Elder arrived after the White Dragon Elders?'

Duan Ling Tian did not think this was a coincidence at all. He was convinced Kuang Tian Zheng had something to do with this as well. To be precise, it had to be the work of the person behind Kuang Tian Zheng. Since the other party was able to get Kuang Tian Zheng and a Black Dragon Elder to do his bidding, the culprit could only be Xue Ming Zhi.

Alas, even if Duan Ling Tian was certain of Xue Ming Zhi's involvement, there was nothing he could do since he lacked evidence. Xue Ming Zhi might even turn the table against him and accused him of slander.

'I'm afraid I'll only be able to deal with Kuang Tian Zheng this time,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He knew it would be unrealistic to deal with Kuang Tian Zheng and Xue Ming Zhi at once. Moreover, unlike Kuang Tian Zheng who was just an inner elder, Xue Ming Zhi was the Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect.

The position of a Vice Sect Leader in the Flying Dragon Sect was only below the Sect Leader and the Golden Dragon Elders of the Flying Dragon Sect.

At this time, the White Dragon Elder smiled and replied, "My name is Yue Luo." Then, he asked curiously, "Duan Ling Tian, how did you offend Kuang Tian Zheng? He even risked his life to kill you! Now that he's been caught, whether you survive or not, he'll definitely die."

Duan Ling Tian replied, "He suspects that I killed his disciple long before I joined the Flying Dragon Sect. I know he hates me, but I didn't expect him to risk life and try to kill me in the sect as well."

While they were making their way to the Law Enforcement Hall, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Kuang Tian Zheng and asked with a smile, "Elder Kuang, is it worth throwing your life away for a dead person?"
