Chapter 4601: Killing Lei Hong
"It's Lord Lei Hong!"
"Lord Lei Hong, are you trying to kill Zhang Shan?"
Those few people who were just about to leave but came to watch the show recognized Lei Hong and Zhang Shan immediately.
Lei Hong was a top World supreme powerhouse in the Sun Bright World before he became a level-seven supreme powerhouse, after all. Moreover, he also attended many important events in the Transcendence World in the past.
As for Zhang Shan, although he was not among the strongest World supreme powerhouses, he was still a famous World supreme powerhouse.
The most important thing now was that Zhang Shan was the only World supreme powerhouse in his clan. Currently, it was not just the Three Upper Worlds, but most of the World supreme powerhouses in the 18 Middle Worlds had gone into hiding, afraid that Lei Hong would kill them.
Lei Hong had always been overbearing, belligerent, and ruthless. Before his breakthrough, no one feared him like they did now because there were many who could keep him in check. However, now that he had broken through, as long as he did not provoke the God Defying World, he was like an overlord in the Myriad Worlds. Apart from the duo from the God Defying World, no one in the Myriad Worlds was a match for him at all.
"Lord Zhang Shan actually came here? Isn't he afraid of death?"
"That's right. Even the World supreme powerhouse from the Profound Law Heavenly Set left the sect and went into hiding after Lord Fang's death was confirmed."
"Who are the two people standing in front of him? With Lord Zhang's status, he's actually willing to stand behind them. Are they powerful World supreme powerhouses?"
"I don't know about the other young man, but one of them is the first level-seven supreme powerhouse after the historical gap from the God Defying World!"
A few of the onlookers recognized Feng Qing Yang immediately.
Previously, when the Heaven Traversing Pagoda appeared, Feng Qing Yang guarded the pagoda and prevented others from entering the pagoda. At that time, in addition to the Saints and World supreme powerhouses, many demi Saints and imminent World supreme powerhouses went to have a look as well.
"It turns out to be Lord Feng Qing Yang!"
"Then, the person next to him should be Lord Duan Ling Tian, right? I heard that Lord Duan is a disciple of Lord Feng. Those two have become famous in the God Defying World..."
"No wonder Lord Lei didn't kill Lord Zhang immediately. No wonder he asked those two for a favor... They're not weaker than him after all"
"There are only four level-seven supreme powerhouses now. I didn't expect to be able to meet all of them at once today!"
Many people were amazed and felt fortunate. They had just met Meng Han from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion in the Outer Boundary, who was also the only level-seven supreme powerhouse in the Outer Boundary. As soon as they stepped out, they met Feng Qing Yang, Duan Ling Tian, and Lei Hong.
"Lord Lei obviously wants to kill Lord Zhang. Will those two agree to his request?"
"I think so. They're peers after all. There's no need to burn bridges for an outsider."
Most people thought that Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang would give in to Lei Hong.
At this time, Feng Qing Yang and Duan Ling Tian silently exchanged a look.
Then, Duan Ling Tian looked at Lei Hong as though he was looking at a fool and said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are? Why must we do you a favor?"
Although this was Duan Ling Tian's first time meeting Lei Hong, he had heard of Lei Hong long ago.
Lei Hong's expression changed drastically upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words.
The onlookers were shocked as well.
Duan Ling Tian was too domineering after all. Not only was he not polite to Lei Hong, who was on par with him, but he also seemed a little hostile.
"Lord Duan!" Zhang Shan's eyes lit up with gratitude. He had felt uneasy until Duan Ling Tian had spoken. After all, he was not sure if Duan Ling Tian and the others would give up on him.
"Duan Ling Tian, are you going to burn bridges with me?" Lei Hong asked in a deep voice.
"So what if I am? Who do you think you are?" Duan Ling Tian said with a sneer.
Duan Ling Tian did not have a good impression of Lei Hong at all. Put aside Lei Hong's recent deeds, after Duan Ling Tian overcame the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation, Lei Hong was one of the World supreme powerhouses from the Three Upper Worlds who had threatened the God Defying World to hand him over. If it were not for their fear of him after his breakthrough, they would have already destroyed the God Defying World, which would inevitably affect his family and friends.
"You!"
Lei Hong did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so hostile. After all, this was the first time they met. There was no reason for Duan Ling Tian to be hostile even if Duan Ling Tian did not agree with him.
Duan Ling Tian scoffed coldly and took a step forward. In just an instant, his energy surged out along with his law of space, and a sword appeared in his hand.
Buzz!
A huge sword ray flew out, illuminating the sky and parting the clouds. It was so huge that it covered the sun and the sky. It shot toward Lei Hong at lightning speed.
Swoosh!
Spatial cracks appeared in its wake, and it generated a storm as it flew. It was as though it was going to destroy the entire Transcendence World.
In the distance, the Profound Law Heavenly Sect's Guarding Formation rose up, barely blocking the shockwave of the attack and alarming everyone inside.
"This aura... Is it Brother Duan?!"
Meng Han was the first one to come out to see what was going on.
At this moment, Lei Hong bellowed, "Duan Ling Tian, what are you doing?"
It was too late for Lei Hong to dodge so he mobilized all his energy and his law to block the sword. Alas, after a brief stalemate, he could no longer hold on and was beheaded.
Boom!
Lei Hong's body exploded, but there was no flesh or blood. It was as though he had just vanished into thin air.
Feng Qing Yang sneered. "He's quite careful. It's just a doppelganger."
Duan Ling Tian remained indifferent. As early as when he detected Lei Hong, he could already sense something was amiss. Later, when Lei Hong boldly targeted Zhang Shan in his and his master's presence, he had already guessed that Lei Hong's true body was not here.
However, even if it was just a doppelganger of the law, with the Dao of Heaven and Earth Lei Hong mastered and the other laws he comprehended to the perfect form, it was still much stronger than World supreme powerhouses.
On the contrary, the doppelganger was no match for Duan Ling Tian at all. This was obvious by how Duan Ling Tian beheaded the doppelganger with just one strike. It was not just Duan Ling Tian, even Feng Qing Yang could easily destroy the doppelganger.
"As it turns out, it's just a doppelganger."
At this moment, the onlookers also recovered from their shock. Earlier, when Duan Ling Tian struck and killed Lei Hong with just a strike, they had been thoroughly shocked. Now that they found out that it was just a doppelganger, they naturally were no longer shocked.
