Chapter 2177 One of a Kind

After they tested each other’s strength for a while, Hong Yun took out a long red whip.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Hong Yun swung the long whip and it moved like a ferocious red-banded snake. She emitted an impressive aura as she sent her Saint Origin into the red whip in her hand.

Swoosh!

The red whip released a terrifying aura immediately like a red-banded snake that was about to strike. Based on this, one could tell Hong Yun’s long whip was no ordinary Saint Weapon.

“A Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon?” Duan Ling Tian knew what the weapon was as soon as he sensed its aura. He raised his hand and a sword appeared in his hand. Naturally, it was not the Jasper Celestial Sword. It was a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword.

Duan Ling Tian had obtained this Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword from a member of the Ground Ax Alliance when he arrived in Sin City three years ago. He was lucky to arrive at that time. If he was 15 minutes late, he would not have been able to obtain the sword. One could say Duan Ling Tian had fate with that Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword.

When Duan Ling Tian first obtained the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword, he did not dare to wield it openly. However, currently, he was strong enough to do so. He was strong enough to keep other people from snatching the sword away from him. Those who were weaker than him, naturally, would not dare to harbor any thoughts about his sword. On the other hand, those who were stronger than him usually had their own Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapons. Naturally, they would not covet his Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword.

When the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s hand, his aura changed immediately as though he had turned into a different person. With his sword in hand, it seemed like he held the world in his hands as well.

When Duan Ling Tian took the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword out, he poured his Sun Saint Origin into the sword without reservation.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The sound of sword whistling sounded in the air. The tip of the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword shone with a blinding and dazzling light.

“Take this, Duan Ling Tian!” Hong Yuan snarled as she cracked her whip. She charged at Duan Ling Tian with her whip that resembled a red-banded snake.

At this moment, Hong Yun had regarded Duan Ling Tian as her enemy. She no longer regarded him as an ordinary true disciple in Fire Worship Sect. For this reason, she no longer held back when she attacked. It seemed like she would not stop until she had defeated Duan Ling Tian!

Swoosh!

Hong Yun moved like the wind. Due to her red robe, she looked like a fiery meteor as she flew across the sky.

Buzz!

Hong Yun cracked her whip in the air. It looked like a red-banded snake moving in the air, it was extremely eyecatching.

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he watched Hong Yun charging at him with her whip. He thought to himself, ‘It’s time to end this!’ In the next moment, a formidable energy surged out of his body! It seemed as though he had turned into a sword that could cut through anything.

Sword Controlling Technique!’ As soon as this thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword in his hand glided out suddenly as though it had a life of its own.

Swoosh!

As soon as the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand flew out, the brief cry of a sword sounded in the air. The sword glinted in front of Hong Yun before she could reach Duan Ling Tian. The sword with its terrifying aura was very close to Hong Yun’s hand that was holding the long whip.

The aura shocked Hong Yun, causing her body to tremble. When she regained her senses, she discovered she had no time to block the attack from the incredibly fast Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword that seemed to be even more powerful than the force of a cultivator at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. It seemed as though the sword had mysteriously appeared.

At this moment, Hong Yun could see the scene where her hand was crippled.

Qing Huo and Zi Feng cried out in horror when they realized what was going on, “Watch out!”

Both of them charged out simultaneously in an attempt to save her. Unfortunately, they were too late.

At the critical juncture, an awe-inspiring voice reverberated in the air. It seemed like it came from all directions. “One should be lenient whenever possible!”

Zi Feng and Qing Huo looked relieved as soon as they heard the voice as though they had encountered a life savior. Clang!

A loud noise resounded in the air. A translucent wall had appeared between Hong Yun and the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword, blocking its attack.

Just when the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword was about to lose its momentum, the wall began to disappear as well.

At this time, the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword continued to slash forward but it was no longer a threat to Hong Yun.

Duan Ling Tian retrieved the sword and no longer attacked Hong Yun. At the same time, he seemed to have realized something as he turned to look at the space nearby. “The Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect?”

A figure appeared at this moment. It was a tall middle-aged man with a sturdy build. He wore a long white robe embroidered with red fiery flames. He had an elegant appearance. His eyes had a commanding look to them that made people yield to him. Whether it was his body or his appearance, everything was almost perfect.

The robe he’s wearing seems a little similar to the uniforms of the Fire Worship Sect elders and disciples…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Naturally, it only bore a slight resemblance to the uniforms of the Fire Worship Sect elders and disciples. Duan Ling Tian had never seen the flames embroidered on the robe before. It was obvious that it was one of a kind. Upon closer inspection, one would see the flames resembled a divine dragon that twined around the wearer’s body as though it was protecting the wearer.

Duan Ling Tian knew the middle-aged man standing before him was Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect!

You’re finally willing to come out?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as stared at Tang Xuan with a sharp gaze.

When Duan Ling Tian was engaged in combat with Hong Yun earlier and they were evenly matched, Elder Huo had informed that a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was hiding nearby and studying him. At that time, he already knew who that person was. In the Fire Worship Sect, only Sect Leader Tang Xuan had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! There was no need to guess at all.

In order to lure the other party out, when Hong Yun took out her Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon and fought with all her might, he had taken out his Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword and wielded it with all his strength as well. Not only that, he even used the technique from the third stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword. The instant he attacked, he acted as though he was going to cripple Hong Yun. This was because he wanted to force Tang Xuan who was hiding to reveal himself.

Although Hong Yun was rude to Duan Ling Tian, he did not take offense since he knew it was just human nature. After all, she did not know about his strength. If they switched places, perhaps, he might be even ruder. Due to this reason, he did not intend to really cripple Hong Yun. He was prepared to call his sword back to him before it could hurt her. As it turned out, there was no need for him to do that because his plan worked.

Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, who was hiding was forced to reveal himself.

Tang Xuan was also studying Duan Ling Tian from head to toe with sharp eyes. After a while, he asked, “Duan Ling Tian. Aren’t you worried you won’t be able to call your sword back to you if I didn’t make a move? I’m really curious. How did you know I was hiding nearby?”

Tang Xuan’s words shocked Duan Ling Tian.

He saw through my plan?!’ Duan Ling Tian was baffled. Faced with Tang Xuan’s knowing gaze, he felt as though he had been stripped naked and could not hide anything from Tang Xuan.

Meanwhile, Zi Feng, Qing Huo, and Hong Yun who had survived a disaster were shocked as well when they heard Tang Xuan’s words. “Huh?”

“I can’t believe you saw through my plan, Sect Leader. However, even if you didn’t make a move earlier, Guardian Hong Yun would still be safe. As for how I noticed you, it was just a coincidence,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the Three Great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect finally realized what was going on.

Duan Ling Tian had attacked so viciously with his flying sword because he wanted the Sect Leader who was hiding nearby to reveal himself.

Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, continued studying Duan Ling Tian before he complimented him generously. “A sword-wielding technique that you can control as you like… Your attainment in the Sword Dao is, indeed, one of a kind!”
