Chapter 3918: Huang Yun

In the Imperial War Realm's Lord Battlefield.

Swoosh!

A figure split into several figures dove toward the lake from the sky at lightning speed, throwing several Formation compasses to form an Illusory Formation. Before the surface of the lake regained its stillness, another two figures appeared in the sky above the lake.

Based on the identity tokens pinned on the duo's chest, they were from the Flying Dragon Sect.

"That fellow from the Tai Yi Sect dove into the lake?' one of the Flying Dragon Sect's elders said before he dove into the lake.

His companion followed suit.

"That cunning fellow set up an Illusory Formation as well. However, does he think he can get away?" the other Flying Dragon Sect elder said through gritted teeth.

The other elder sensed the surroundings and said helplessly with a wry smile, "Elder Huang, I'm afraid we've lost him... Not only did he set up an Illusory Formation, but he also used other means to ensure his escape. I didn't expect that he's not a native of the Realm of Gods..."

"You're saying he used his doppelgangers?"

"That's right. He's probably fled quite a distance away by now. If we split up and chase after him, even if we catch up and find his true body, I'm not sure we're a match for him on our own. After all, if one of us are stronger than him, he wouldn't have been able to escape from us at all..."

"Forget it then. It's our fault for being careless," the elder said. His expression eased after he thought through the situation.

...

At the same time, at the foot of a treacherous mountain a distance away from the lake.

A figure suddenly appeared in the sky. Shortly afterward, a few figures flew over from different directions and entered his body.

The figure belonged to a middle-aged man with a medium build and a piercing gaze. At this moment, he looked quite roughed up.

"Those two inner elders from the Flying Dragon Sect must be so angry right now that I, Huang Yun, managed to escape from them even though they were working together! Moreover, their strength is on par with mine!"

Huang Yun was an inner elder of the Tai Yi Sect who had been on the Lord Battlefield for several years now. So far, he had ambushed and successfully killed a dozen rudimentary Lords of Gods and one intermediate Lord of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect.

"I should find a way to kill another intermediate Lord of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect. If I make a huge contribution during the Imperial War, perhaps, the sect will protect me from the relatives and friends of those who died because of me. I can't stay in the Imperial War Realm forever, after all. I risked my life after entering the Lord Battlefield because I had no hope and didn't want to burn my family and disciples. I should be able to redeem myself after making such huge contributions... Moreover, even if I didn't provoke Duan Ling Tian, he would still kill many of our members on the King Battlefield. It's too bad that Duan Ling Tian is just a King of Gods. Otherwise, I could look for him on the Lord Battlefield and kill him!"

Huang Yu felt bitter when he recalled his conflict with Duan Ling Tian in Peace City that resulted in his current situation. Flames of resentment could be seen burning in his eyes as well.

After a moment, he found a secluded place and consumed a divine pill to recover.

...

About half a month later, Huang Yun finally recovered from his injuries.

As he flew around, he muttered to himself, "I hope I can kill a few more rudimentary Lords of Gods or one intermediate Lord of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect. With that, I should be able to redeem myself."

After another two months passed, Huang Yun finally encountered two rudimentary Lords of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect.

The duo from the Flying Dragon Sect, who were unaware that Huang Yun was spying on them, were chatting at this moment.

"I didn't expect to run into Duan Ling Tian on the Lord Battlefield. He seems to be cultivating, but what's the point of cultivating in here?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's comprehending the law?"

'Duan Ling Tian?' Huang Yun's eyes narrowed when he overheard the duo's conversation. He was shocked to learn that Duan Ling Tian had become a Lord of Gods.

However, his eyes glinted coldly when he recalled the duo saying that they had just run into Duan Ling Tian, who was cultivating or comprehending the law.

'Duan Ling Tian... Today must be my lucky day! I'll kill one of them first and leave the other alive for interrogation...'

Huang Yun used one of his doppelgangers to distract one of the duo while he rushed to kill the other one in just a few breaths.

"An inner elder of the Tai Yi Sect!" The surviving member from the Flying Dragon Sect's expression changed drastically. He did not hesitate and fled immediately. Unfortunately, he was still caught by Huang Yun. His face turned ashen as he fell into despair.

Huang Yun stared at the man and asked in a low voice, "Did you meet Duan Ling Tian earlier?"

The man knew he was going to die either way so he ignored Huang Yun.

Huang Yun sneered before he said, "If you tell me what I want to know, I'll grant you a quick death. Otherwise, I'll slowly torture you before killing you. Of course, you can detonate your Little World, but your soul will suffer. The pain and suffering are beyond your imaginations if you do that..."

Unlike true detonations, most detonations of Little Worlds were not strong enough to kill. Moreover, one's soul would also suffer the backlash. For this reason, most people would not detonate their Little Worlds. Not only would it be futile, but it would also cause one to suffer.

As Huang Yun spoke, he extended his Divine Consciousness to restrain the other man.

The man's expression changed when he sensed the strength of Huang Yun's Divine Consciousness. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "We met Duan Ling Tian in a stone forest a few days ago. He was sitting cross-legged at the peak of a mountain in the forest. When we passed by, he nodded at us before he closed his eyes and continued to cultivate. I don't know if he's still there."

At the same time, the rudimentary Lord of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect thought to himself, 'If this inner elder from the Tai Yi Sect is alone, he'll definitely die if he meets Duan Ling Tian. However, if he has an Underworld Elder with him, Duan Ling Tian might not survive... I can only take this risk. If Duan Ling Tian dies because of me, I'll make it up to him in my next life!'

The man and his companion had only entered the Lord Battlefield about two months ago. Before entering the Lord Battlefield, he had heard about Duan Ling Tian killing two intermediate Lords of Gods who were death warriors and was nearly as strong as a White Dragon Elder.

"When did Duan Ling Tian become a Lord of Gods?" Huang Yun continued to ask. Although he did not think Duan Ling Tian, who had just become a Lord of Gods, was a threat to him, he was still cautious.

"A year ago," the man lied. Based on Huang Yun's question, he knew Huang Yun must have been on the Lord Battlefield for years since he was unaware of Duan Ling Tian's breakthrough. He decided to lie to lower Huang Yun's guard so Huang Yun would confront Duan Ling Tian alone.

Huang Yun's smile widened upon hearing the man's reply. He dismissed Duan Ling Tian's monstrous achievements on the King Battlefield immediately, thinking that Duan Ling Tian only had the upper hand because of his comprehension of the law. Moreover, he was an intermediate Lord of Gods; it would be as easy as strangling a chicken for him to kill a rudimentary Lord of Gods.

Huang Yun thought to himself, 'Even if Duan Ling Tian is comparable to Ximen Long Xiang, he still won't be a match for me...'

After a while, Huang Yun asked, "Was he alone?"

"Yes. I didn't see anyone else with him," the man replied with a nod. Even if Duan Ling Tian were not alone, he would have lied and said Duan Ling Tian was alone. After all, he was determined to drag Huang Yun down with him.

"Very good!" Huang Yun laughed heartily. Then, he swung his hand like a knife and said, "I, Huang Yun, am a man of my word. Now, die!"
