Chapter 4114: Unable to Endure
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's reply, Hong Li's face flushed red in embarrassment. Nonetheless, he sneered and forced himself to say, "Duan Ling Tian, are you afraid to accept my challenge?"
"Afraid?" At this time, Duan Ling Tian left his room. He flew up and hovered across from Hong Li before he shook his head and said in a leisurely manner, "Do all disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation have problems with their brains?
Duan Ling Tian continued to say lazily, "I've already said that I'll fight you if it's a life-or-death battle. Which part of that makes you think I'm afraid? It seems like all the disciples from the congregation are trash just like Wang Yun Sheng."
Hong Li's face turned even redder. He almost challenged Duan Ling Tian to a life-or-death battle, but in the end, he managed to restrain and suppress his impulse. He was not a fool, after all. No one knew the extent of Duan Ling Tian's strength now. Even Wang Yun Sheng, a Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, did not dare to fight a life-or-death battle with Duan Ling Tian, let alone him.
At this time, the other three disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation stepped forward and stood next to Hong Li. All of them glowered at Duan Ling Tian and spoke up one after another. After all, Duan Ling Tian did not just insult Hong Li, but he insulted all of the disciples of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.
"Duan Ling Tian!"
"Duan Ling Tian, don't be too arrogant! Our Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation doesn't lack people who can put you in your place!"
"Duan Ling Tian, do you really think you're invincible among the younger generation?"
"Duan Ling Tian..."
The three disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were overcome with anger at this moment. Even if they were not Holy Sons of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, they were still outstanding and famous in their own right. How could they endure Duan Ling Tian's insult?
"Oh, there are four of you?" Duan Ling Tian smiled as he narrowed his eyes and said, "Why don't we do this? Call Wang Yun Sheng here. I'll fight a life-or-death battle with five of you at the same time. Trash, do you dare?"
Under normal circumstances, Duan Ling Tian would be somewhat courteous toward his opponent. However, he only had disgust and hatred toward those from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.
In fact, Duan Ling Tian did not like to generalize. However, all of the people whom he had met from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation had terrible character. These four people who came looking for him were a good example. Based on the killing intent they exuded, there was no doubt they would kill him if they had the ability to do so.
At the same time, those who came to watch the show fell silent upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words; they were stunned. After Wang Yun Sheng refused him, he challenged five people to a life-or-death battle again. Let alone Wang Yun Sheng, the four disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were no pushovers. If the four of them joined forces, even Wang Yun Sheng would be defeated.
At this time, Wang Yun Sheng arrived, attracting the attention of many people.
Someone, who was standing nearby, looked at Wang Yun Sheng and chuckled as he asked, "Wang Yun Sheng, now that Duan Ling Tian proposed a five-versus-one battle, you won't refuse, will you?"
This person was not an ordinary person. He was a prodigy from another heavyweight supreme-rank force in the Profound Energy Land as well. Based on the expression on his face, it was clear he could not wait to watch the show.
Meanwhile, the crowd began to discuss among themselves.
"Wang Yun Sheng is here..."
"Is Duan Ling Tian crazy? He actually challenged five disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation at the same time?"
At the same time, Hong Li and the other three disciples turned to look at Wang Yun Sheng.
Hong Li could barely hide his anger as he said to Wang Yun Sheng through Voice Transmission, "Junior Brother Yun Sheng, since Duan Ling Tian has a death wish, we should fulfill his wish. Don't tell that you really think he's capable of killing all five of us alone."
Similarly, the other three disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation sent Voice Transmissions to Wang Yun Sheng.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian's smile widened when he saw Wang Yun Sheng. He said, "You came at the right time. Wang Yun Sheng, I'll fight five of you alone. With this, you shouldn't be too afraid to accept my challenge, right?"
As Duan Ling Tian spoke, he tried to suppress his killing intent that threatened to burst forth.
Meanwhile, the other four disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation grew slightly anxious at Wang Yun Sheng's lack of reply. They hurriedly sent Voice Transmissions to Wang Yun Sheng again.
The crowd continued to discuss animatedly among themselves.
"It's impossible for Wang Yun Sheng to refuse Duan Ling Tian's challenge now, right? If you ask me, I think Duan Ling Tian is just putting on an act."
"If those five join forces, I'm afraid not one person below the realm of an Emperor of Gods will be able to survive."
"I agree. I don't think any of those outstanding prodigies from the heavyweight supreme-rank forces will be able to stand against all five of them at once."
"Wang Yun Sheng is truly too cowardly if he still refuses to accept Duan Ling Tian's challenge..."
Wang Yun Sheng's expression turned cold when he heard his fellow disciples' Voice Transmissions and the discussions in his surroundings. He naturally wanted to accept this challenge. However, he had just sought advice from an elder, who was the founder of the faction that he belonged to in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, and his elder had advised him against accepting the challenge after a short deliberation.
Wang Yun Sheng's elder also thought that if Wang Yun Sheng and the other four disciples joined forces, they would be able to kill Duan Ling Tian. However, when he thought about Duan Ling Tian's talent despite only being less than 3,000 years old, his origin in the mundane realm, and his initiative to propose the challenge, he felt that there was a slight chance that Duan Ling Tian might be capable of defeating all five of them. In the end, the elder came up with another suggestion.
"You're prohibited from accepting the challenge, but those four can accept the challenge. Even if Duan Ling Tian's stronger than you, as long as it's not by a wide margin, those four should be able to kill him if they join forces. All you need to do is stay silent. I'll help you make arrangements..."
Wang Yun Sheng could only endure after listening to his elder's words.
After a few moments, the other four disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation also stopped urging Wang Yun Sheng through Voice Transmission. They looked at each other and began to talk among themselves through Voice Transmission.
"My father allowed me to fight Duan Ling Tian in a life-or-death battle as long as four of us are allowed to join forces..."
"My mother said the same thing to me..."
"The four of us are stronger than the Holy Son when we join forces. It won't be difficult for us to kill Duan Ling Tian..."
"I'm only worried now that Duan Ling Tian will refuse us and insist on the Holy Son participating in the challenge as well..."
"Let's just see what he has to say first..."
The four disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were happy to hear their elders' words. They were confident that their combined strength was stronger than that of the Holy Son. As such, they did not think it would be difficult for them to kill Duan Ling Tian. Following that, they scoffed at Duan Ling Tian and began to taunt Duan Ling Tian.
"Duan Ling Tian, you're not worthy of facing four of us and our Holy Son at the same time!"
"Since you like life-or-death battles so much, the four of us will accompany you!"
Hong Li stared at Duan Ling Tian as though Duan Ling Tian was a dead man walking and said, "We're also being considerate to you. After all, if our Holy Son joins in, who knows how miserably you'll die?"
Meanwhile, the crowd shifted their attention away from Wang Yun Sheng when they heard Hong Li and the other three.
"What's going on now? Why did Hong Li suddenly change his tune?"
"Duan Ling Tian was trying to intimidate them earlier. If Wang Yun Sheng doesn't agree to it, he can easily back out of the challenge..."
"Isn't Wang Yun Sheng too big of a coward? He's still unwilling to fight when things have escalated to this point?"
"Previously, I thought Wang Yun Sheng had quite the extraordinary bearing, but now, I think he's just average..."
"To think that someone like him is a Holy Son of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation!"
Many people did not bother to hide their contempt when they spoke about Wang Yun Sheng. After all, many of them had backgrounds not inferior to that of Wang Yun Sheng.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian said with a sneer, "Just the four of you? I think you're overestimating yourselves... Like I said before, I'm ready to fight right now as long as the four of you and Wang Yun Sheng agree to it... It won't do even if only one person is missing." Then, he ignored the other four, who were furious, and turned to look at Wang Yun Sheng, who was standing in the distance, before he said, "In the end, those from the congregation are nothing but cowardly trash!"
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, 'Don't tell me he's still able to endure it at this point? He's really not easy to deal with...'
On the other hand, when Wang Yun Sheng saw and heard Duan Ling Tian's provocative expression and words, he felt his restraints snapping. He could no longer endure it. His eyes narrowed as he said loudly, "Duan Ling Tian, since you have a death wish, I'll fulfill your wish!"
Wang Yun Sheng did not even bother to speak to his elder at this time. He could no longer endure Duan Ling Tian's provocation.
