Chapter 515: Yin Zhong's Death
This was a robust middle aged man who wore embroidered clothed and was obviously of extraordinary birth.
"Fifth Master Yin." Whereas the attendant by Duan Ling Tian's side went pale and respectfully bowed to the middle aged man.
Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian withdrew his gaze and a large stack of gold bills appeared on his hand before he counted 10 million from it.
Slap!
The thick stack of 10 million gold was pressed onto the counter by Duan Ling Tian. "Manager Wang, this is 10 million gold... Please count it."
Manager Wang nodded and stretched out his hand to pick up the stack of gold on the counter.
Right at this moment.
"Kid, are you dead? I've already said that I want that Jadewave Grass!" The middle aged man's face was extremely gloomy as he shouted in a stern voice.
Duan Ling Tian seemed as if he didn't hear the middle aged man's words, and he silently looked at the old man behind the counter that was counting his gold bills.
Whereas the middle aged man seemed to not dare flare up at the old man, and he only targeted Duan Ling Tian, and his eyes flickered with cold lights as he said, "Kid, do you know who I am?"
Duan Ling Tian still remained indifferent.
"10 million gold, it's correct." Meanwhile, the old man behind the counter nodded, and after he put away the gold, he withdrew a spirit grass that flowed with jade lights with a raise of his hand before passing it to Duan Ling Tian.
It was precisely the Jadewave Grass!
Duan Ling Tian extended his hand to receive it, then put it away into his Spatial Ring under the middle aged man's gaze that was filled with killing intent.
"Thank you, Manager Wang." After he put away the Jadewave Grass, Duan Ling Tian lightly smiled as he thanked the old man.
The old man knew why Duan Ling Tian thanked him. "Everything depends on order of arrival... Since you've produced 10 million gold, this Jadewave Grass is naturally yours."
Duan Ling Tian nodded and bid his farewell to the old man.
"Little Brother, this person is the Yin Clan's Fifth Master, Yin Zhong. Try your best to walk through places that are crowded after you leave here... Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll lose both your wealth and life."
Duan Ling Tian had just walked a few steps when he received a wave of voice transmission.
He was able to discern that it was Manager Wang who was warning him.
"Thank you." Duan Ling Tian maintained his expression as he expressed his gratitude, and then he left the medicinal store.
Of course, Duan Ling Tian noticed someone was following him when he left.
It was precisely the robust middle aged man.
Yin Clan's Fifth Master?
"Could it be the fifth uncle of that Yin Zhe that I crippled 20 days ago at the gate of Dragon and Phoenix Academy?" Duan Ling Tian's gaze was slightly strange.
"Hmph! Dare to seize my Jadewave Grass? It's fine as well, I'll save that 10 million gold as well! Not only that, I ought to be able to earn a sum of money." Yin Zhong silently followed behind Duan Ling Tian and a cold smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Earlier, this person actually dared to disregard him.
He would kill this person, seize the Jadewave Grass, and seize everything this person possessed.
"Squeak squeak~" The little gold mouse's cry sounded out by Duan Ling Tian's ear. "Big Brother Ling Tian, that fellow has followed us over."
"Little Gold, you only noticed now?" Duan Ling Tian shook his head when he heard the little gold mouse's voice transmission.
It seemed that although Little Gold had awakened her soul brand and comprehended a soul skill, yet her ability of utilizing Spiritual Force was far inferior to Duan Ling Tian who was an Inscription master.
"Unfortunately, although I can inscribe inscriptions that are sufficient to annihilate all Void Prying Stage martial artists, the materials required by those inscriptions are truly too difficult to obtain to the point that they can only be chanced upon by luck and not sought after." Duan Ling Tian sighed, then thought to himself. "Otherwise, I can kill this Yin Clan's Fifth Elder solely by relying on inscriptions!"
After he merged with the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor, Duan Ling Tian's attainments in the Dao of inscriptions was extremely advanced.
So long as his Spiritual Force fulfilled the conditions, he would be able to easily inscribe any inscription.
But, the higher the grade and might of the inscriptions, the more valuable the material required were...
Duan Ling Tian was currently capable of inscribing many formidable offensive inscriptions, but he was unable to inscribe them because he didn't have the materials.
"But, although the material required by high grade offensive inscriptions are rare, the materials required by many high grade auxiliary inscriptions were rare, yet not impossible to obtain." Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart. "Perhaps I should find the time to obtain some materials, then inscribe some auxiliary inscriptions."
Not long after, Duan Ling Tian had left the trade market, and then he made a turn and went into a remote area.
He's only just entered the remote area.
Whoosh!
An ear piercing howl of the wind sounded out, it flashed from behind him like a bloodthirsty fierce beast that opened up its blood mouth to bite Duan Ling Tian.
Whereas at the instant the howl of the wind sounded out, Duan Ling Tian seemed as if he possessed foresight, and he moved.
Whirlwind!
Moving aside in time to cause the person who launched a sneak attack from behind to hit nothing.
"First level Void Prying Stage?" The person that launched the sneak attack was precisely the Yin Clan's Fifth Master, Yin Zhong, and he was slightly surprised when he looked at the 2,000 ancient mammoth silhouettes in the sky above the violet clothed young man that dodged his attack.
Subsequently, his gaze descended onto the little gold mouse on the violet clothed youth's shoulder.
A bright light flashed in his mind.
"You... You're Duan Ling Tian?" Bright lights shot out from Yin Zhong's eyes and his tone was filled with excitement.
"Truly an honor... The Yin Clan's Fifth Master actually knows me." Duan Ling Tian had a calm expression as he looked at Yin Zhong.
"You know me?" Yin Zhong frowned, then he grunted. "It's surely that old goat Wang Pin that told you... That old goat really doesn't know how to mind his own business! Does he really think I don't dare do anything to him?"
The Wang Ping that Yin Zhong mentioned was precisely the Manager Wang at the second floor of the medicinal store.
"But, how could that old goat Wang Ping have known that you wouldn't listen to his advice, hahahaha..." As he finished speaking, Yin Zhong started laughing loudly.
Duan Ling Tian had a calm expression when faced with Yin Zhong who laughed arrogantly. "Are you done laughing?"
"Duan Ling Tian!" Finally, Yin Zhong restrained his laughter, and a cold light appeared in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Duan Ling Tian. "I truly never imagined that I would encounter you under such circumstances... Looks like the heavens want to allow me to take revenge for my pitiable nephew!"
"You crippled my nephew's arm and destroyed his life... Today, I'll take your life!" Yin Zhong's ruthless words had just finished sounding out when he'd already shot out.
Everywhere he passed, dust and dirt suffused up into the air.
In the sky, 8,000 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed into form...
This Yin Zhong was obviously a sixth level Void Prying Stage martial artist.
Bang!
Yin Zhong seemed to have transformed into a gust of wind that instantly arrived before Duan Ling Tian, then his fist shot straight out as if it had transformed into a cannonball that fiercely smashed towards Duan Ling Tian's head.
He seemed as if he wanted to blast open Duan Ling Tian's head with a single punch!
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt a wave of fierce and swift strong winds sweep over, and it brushed past him to the point his cheeks hurt.
But he maintained his composure from the beginning until the end when faced with Yin Zhong's strike, and he even didn't blink his eyes.
Coldness appeared on the corners of Yin Zhong's mouth, and he thought that Duan Ling Tian had given up on resistance.
When Yin Zhong's fist was about to collide with Duan Ling Tian's head...
"Squeak!!" An ear piercing cry tore open the sky.
Subsequently, Yin Zhong saw a gold light flash out from Duan Ling Tian's shoulder, and it fiercely collided with his fist that shot out.
He hadn't even has the time to react when his fist was already struck by the gold light.
Kacha!
Instantly, a wave of piercing sounds of bones breaking sounded out.
Subsequently, he felt a wave of intense pain come from his fist, causing him to feel a heart rending pain and he couldn't refrain from emitting a sad and shrill cry.
At the same time, a terrifying force lifted him up and sent him flying.
In his dazed state, he clearly saw the gold light that was swift like a bolt of lightning transform into a cute and fluffy little gold mouse.
Whereas in the sky above the little gold mouse, a lifelike ancient horned dragon silhouettes bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it moved in circles.
"Seventh level of the Void Prying Stage!" The instant his body fell to the ground in a sorry state, Yin Zhong recovered from his shock and his face went ghastly pale.
"You... You schemed against me since long ago? You intentionally lured me here?" After Yin Zhong consumed a healing medicinal pill, he struggled to stand up, and he gnashed his teeth as he stared at Duan Ling Tian.
"What do you think?" Duan Ling Tian's expression still remained calm as he asked rhetorically.
"I never expected that I, Yin Zhong, swept past unhindered in my entire life, yet was annihilated in the hands of a little devil like you in the end... But you won't be able to be complacent for long! The Azure Forest Tri-Sect will spare no expense in killing you..." Yin Zhong seemed to have realized that he was in imminent danger, and simply let go.
But he wasn't able to finish his words in the end.
Because a tiny sword light had completely ended him.
"Squeak squeak~" After the little gold mouse pierced Yin Zhong's throat with a single strike, her fluffy body flashed out, using her butt to knock Yin Zhong's face and putting him to the ground.
Subsequently, the little gold mouse plunged down and removed Yin Zhong's Spatial Ring in a practiced manner before sending it to Duan Ling Tian and taking credit. "Big Brother Ling Tian, I want a huge meal! I want a huge meal!"
In the past, during the time she followed Duan Ling Tian to gain experience and tempering, she'd help Duan Ling Tian gather the 'spoils of the battle' on countless occasions.
"Alright! You can eat whatever you want," said Duan Ling Tian generously.
After he established ownership over Yin Zhong's Spatial Ring, Duan Ling Tian noticed that there was actually 30 million gold within it.
As for other things, like low purity medicinal pills, low grade spirit weapons, etc... They were all useless things to him.
"30 million gold... The gains aren't bad." With a raise of his hand, a strand of grade four Weapon Flame blazed on Duan Ling Tian's palm, then he went to a nearby restaurant to have a meal after burning Yin Zhong's corpse into nothingness.
Duan Ling Tian started pondering deeply as he gazed at the little gold mouse gobbling down her food.
"According to what that Azure Forest Tri-Sect Elder said, besides him, only Tang Huo and Zhao Ming have come from the Azure Forest Tri-Sect to the Imperial City this time..." Duan Ling Tian frowned. "Who is that ninth level Void Prying Stage martial artist?"
Duan Ling Tian still remembered that when he'd just left the Dragon and Phoenix Academy today, besides noticing the Azure Forest Tri-Sect Elder, he also noticed another person.
That person was a ninth level Void Prying Stage martial artist.
Duan Ling Tian thought for a long time, yet couldn't wrap his head around it.
He simply didn't continue thinking and brought the little gold mouse to return to the academy after they ate their fill.
Duan Ling Tian had only just entered the Inner Hall when Duan Ling Tian saw a handsome young man in red clothes standing there silently with his eyes closed as he rested his mind.
Suddenly, the red clothed young man raised his head, and his fierce gaze looked towards Duan Ling Tian.
"You're Duan Ling Tian?" The red clothed young man's voice was filled with hostility.
