Chapter 934: It's Because He's My Big Brother Duan!
"I have no opinion!" Duan Ling Tian shrugged indifferently.
The purpose of him joining the battle was to win the two Ninth Level Concept Fragments. It really did not matter to him if he killed his opponent or not.
Naturally, the most important factor was Lu Kai, the Sun Moon Sect's disciple who was standing before him, had yet to do anything that elicited his killing intent.
"Anyone who provokes our Sun Moon Sect has to die!" Lu Kai's voice was bloodcurdling and shrill. It was obvious from his words that he had the intention of killing Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. A sneer crept up on the corner of his mouth.
Earlier, he was still wondering earlier if he should spare Lu Kai's life or not. However, the sentence that Lu Kai uttered had completely destroyed his original plan.
Everyone must be responsible for the words they said!
Duan Ling Tian and Lu Kai stood across each other in a stalemate. They immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"It's amazing that Duan Ling Tian was able to take out two Ninth Level Concept Fragments! However, what's more shocking is the fact that he dares to bet against the Sect Leader of Sun Moon Sect."
"Don't tell me he really thinks he can beat the Sun Moon Sect's disciple?"
"That Sun Moon Sect's disciple is personally named by the Sect Leader of Sun Moon Sect so his strength is certainly simple!"
"This Duan Ling Tian is most likely going for wool, but he'll most likely end up coming home shorn!"
...
Many of the monk disciples from the Empyrean Temple were engaged in discussion with each other. It was apparent that they had no faith in Duan Ling Tian at all.
Naturally, if one were to get into the whys and wherefores of it, it all boiled down to the fact that Duan Ling Tian was too young, so young that it was bordering on ridiculous.
"Whoosh!
All of a sudden, the black clothes on Lu Kai, the Sun Moon Sect's disciple who was locked in a stalemate with Duan Ling Tian, billowed without warning. The Origin Energy on his body rose and continued to merge with a wave of sharp aura.
In just a blink of an eye, Lu Kai's tyrannical aura transformed into a gigantic saber, and it emitted a wave of aura that seemed like it was able to cut everything open.
The Heaven and Earth Energy on the sky whirled, and the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon immediately solidified into form.
First, 120 silhouettes of ancient horned dragons appeared, and it was closely followed by another 100 silhouettes of ancient horned dragons.

Ninth Level Intermediate Saber Concept Fragment!
Lu Kai's strength came as a shock to many Empyrean Temple's disciples. It further convinced them that Duan Ling Tian would not be able to defeat Lu Kai.
"Duan Ling Tian, I hope that you won't disappoint me!" Xuan Bei muttered to himself as he stared at Duan Ling Tian's silhouette.
"Huh?" A spirit saber that was as thin as a cicada's wing appeared in Lu Kai's hand. At the moment he was about to launch his attack, it seemed like he had noticed something. He shook his head as he looked in the distance.
At this time, everybody, including Duan Ling Tian, also looked into the distance.
As it turned out, there was a group of people heading in their direction.
In just a flash, they arrived at the spot where Duan Ling Tian and the others stood.
"Big Brother Duan!" A soft and sweet voice that was filled with joy rang out from the group of people.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, a flash of fiery fairy-like figure immediately soared upwards and flew all the way to the purple-clad figure with a speed that was as fast as lightning.
When Duan Ling Tian heard the familiar voice, he felt his heart tightened immediately.
In the next moment, he noticed that the streak of the fiery red figure had already arrived in front of him before he could even respond. She stood across him as they faced each other.
The person standing across Duan Ling Tian was a girl so beautiful that her beauty could topple a city. A smile that could infatuate all mortals was spread widely on her face. For a moment, the surroundings seemed dull in comparison.
"Tian Wu." Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly when he saw the red-clad girl before him.
The person who came was none other than Feng Tian Wu!
Feng Wu Tian, who became excited after she saw the person who had been appearing in her dreams in flesh and blood, calmed herself down a little. After taking a deep breath, she finally asked gently, "Big Brother Duan, why are you here?"
It did not cross her mind that she would be able to meet her Big Brother Duan here.
Was Big Brother Duan not taken away by a Martial Monarch powerhouse?
"Duan Ling Tian!"
"Brother Ling Tian!"
At this moment, two figures followed suit behind Feng Tian Wu and appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. Astonishment could clearly be seen on their faces. It was apparent that they did not expect to see Duan Ling Tian here.
"Su Li, Big Brother Zhang," Duan Ling Tian greeted the two of them as he smiled.
The two people who appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian were none other than Su Li and Zhang Shou Yong.
Su Li could not contain his curiosity as he asked, "Duan Ling Tian, where have you been all these while? Why are you here all of a sudden?"
Although Zhang Shou Yong did not say a word, his gaze that was filled with puzzlement indicated that he was curious about this as well.
"The entire story is a little too hard to explain with just a few words. I'll tell all of you more about it when we have time. As for why I'm here, well, the reason is the as same as yours." Duan Ling Tian shook his head before he continued, "However, the one thing that's different is you're representing Blade Sect while I represent Five Element Sect."
Five Element Sect!
After Su Li heard Duan Ling Tian's words, he could not suppress his surprise. "The Five Element Sect that's also one of the three major forces in the eastern district of the northern desert?"
"Yes." Duan Ling Tian smiled and nodded.
"Big Brother Duan, why did you suddenly join the Five Element Sect?" A look of bafflement crept up on Feng Tian Wu's pretty face.
Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, a flash of light shone in the eyes of a middle-aged man as his gaze landed on Duan Ling Tian. He was among the four men leading the group that had just arrived.
"Duan Ling Tian," the middle-aged man greeted Duan Ling Tian.
The moment he heard the voice, Duan Ling Tian shifted his attention towards the middle-aged man. His eyes lit up instantly as he quickly greeted with surprise, "Senior!"
This middle-aged man was none other than the Vice Sect Leader of the Sword Sect from Blade Sect. He was also Su Li's Master, Sword 13.
He owed Sword 13 a debt of gratitude, and he had always kept this in mind.
"Did you just say that you came here on behalf of the Five Element Sect?" Sword 13 asked with a slight frown.
"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded his head before he quickly apologized, "Senior, I'm very sorry. Five Element Sect has been very kind to me, I'll work on their behalf of this time when I enter the Martial Emperor's secret treasure. I really can't represent Blade Sect this time."
When the people from Five Element Sect saw so many people from the group of newcomers were familiar with Duan Ling Tian, they were taken aback for a moment. At this moment, when they heard the exchange between Duan Ling Tian and Sword 13, they were once again stunned.
Was Duan Ling Tian supposed to represent Blade Sect in entering the Martial Emperor's secret treasure previously?
Although they did not know what happened, they could not help but rejoice when they heard Duan Ling Tian's words.
In their opinions, Duan Ling Tian was a massive killing weapon. Having him in Five Element Sect would definitely gain them the greatest benefits when they were in the Martial Emperor's secret treasure.
Before Sword 13 had time to even open his mouth, a cold snort could be heard at once. "Hurmph!"
A green figure immediately flew out from the group of Blade Sect's people. It was obvious the green-clad young man was one of the Blade Sect's twenty young disciples.
After that green-clad young man came out, he immediately looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked in a deep voice, "So, you're Duan Ling Tian?"
"Who are you?" Zhou Weiqing frowned instantly when he was faced with the unfriendly green-clad young man.
After the green-clad young man swept a contemptuous glance at Duan Ling Tian, he asked with his deep voice again, "You don't have to know who I am! You only need to answer me. Did you promise Senior Uncle Sword that you'll enter the Sword Sect of Blade Sect?"
"Yes, but..." Duan Ling Tian nodded his head. Just as he was about to explain the situation, he was immediately interrupted by that green-clad young man again, "That's good enough! In other words, you're supposed to be a disciple of the Sword Sect of Blade Sect, but you actually jumped ship to the Five Element Sect! Although you're just a soon-to-be disciple of Sword Sect, a soon-to-be disciple who jumped ship to another sect would be regarded as a traitor as well according to our Blade Sect's rules! Today, I, Lian Xiong, will represent the sect's law enforcement elders to enforce the rule and take the traitor out!" The green-clad young man, Lian Xiong, said all of that very quickly. Before the crowd even had time to make head or tail of the situation, he had already transformed into a flash of green light and charged towards Duan Ling Tian.
Whoosh!
A streak of swift sword's ray accompanied his attack on Duan Ling Tian. In just a blink of an eye, the sword's ray had already appeared before Duan Ling Tian's eyes.
What an appalling speed the sword's ray possessed!
Whoosh!
In the meantime, over 270 silhouettes of ancient horned dragons appeared on top of Lian Xiong's head. In other words, the sword that he unleashed at Duan Ling Tian had the strength of over 270 ancient horned dragons.
Eighth Level Void Interpretation!
Eighth Level Intermediate Sword Concept!
Grade Three Spirit Sword!
In the eyes of most of the people present at the scene, the green-clad young man possessed a speed that was shockingly fast. However, in Duan Ling Tian's eyes, that speed was pitifully slow.
When Duan Ling Tian saw the Grade Three Spirit Sword in the hands of the green-clad young man was barely a foot away from his eyes, he was already prepared to reach a hand out to catch the sword. It was not a difficult task for him to take on the sword with his bare hands after all.
However, he could hear a hissing noise that vanished as soon as it appeared without any warning just as he was about to extend his hand.
Smack!
At this moment, a crisp and clear sound entered Duan Ling Tian's ears.
Duan Ling Tian immediately noticed that the sword that was in close proximity with his eyes had disappeared without a trace. More precisely, it had already flown far away.
An arm that had been severed flew along with it. The severed arm was very eye-catching with the fresh blood pouring out from the open wound.
The blood spilled from the sky, and it formed a patch that was similar to blossoming red rose.
"AHHHH!!" Meanwhile, a shrill scream broke the silence in the air.
It was none other than Lian Xiong who stood not far away from Duan Ling Tian. Cries of pain could be heard from him as he pressed on the wound on his shoulder to staunch the continuously flowing blood.
"WHO WAS THAT?!" When he finally caught his breath, he immediately glared at the person who had just attacked him.
However, the moment he saw the red spirit snake-like long whip in the hand of the red-clad young woman who was just standing still, his face blanched immediately. "J-Junior Sister F-Feng! He has betrayed our sect so he should atone for it with his death! W-Why did you help him?"
The person who crippled Lian Xiong was none other than Feng Tian Wu.
She was also the first person who came to her senses and immediately stopped Lian Xiong in time.
The whip swept out and instantly wrapped around Lian Xiong's arm that was holding onto the sword. In the next moment, she forcibly tore the arm off Lian Xiong's shoulder and flung it away. Her entire movement was as smooth as water.
"It's because he's my Big Brother Duan!" Feng Tian Wu's answer was very simple and straightforward.
