4268 Yun Zhang Perishes

The huge sword ray that emerged from the spatial storm carried amazing power as it fell.

At this time, Yun Qing Peng looked at Duan Ling Tian smugly, certain that Duan Ling Tian was about to die.

The old man, an intermediate Supreme God, did not make a move, but his Divine Energy had already been mobilized. He was clearly ready to act at a moment's notice. He was arranged by Yun Qing Peng's father, the Second Master of the Yun clan, to protect Yun Qing Peng.

When the old man entered the Realm Battlefield with Yun Qing Peng 800 years ago, he had yet to stabilize his cultivation base in the realm of an intermediate Supreme God. Some time ago, he came across a fortuitous encounter and successfully stabilized his cultivation base. Needless to say, his strength had improved significantly since then.

In the old man's opinion, Yun Qing Peng was not in any danger even if Yun Qing Peng was no match for the purple-clad Duan Ling Tian despite having the same cultivation base. He was confident that he would be able to easily kill Duan Ling Tian or suppress Duan Ling Tian so that Yun Qing Peng could kill Duan Ling Tian.

At this time, faced with Yun Qing Peng's attack, Duan Ling Tian smiled disdainfully and said, "Let alone someone like you, even your cousin, Yun Qing Yan, cowered in front of me."

As soon as Duan Ling Tian's voice fell, he made a move. To be precise, he stood still while his doppelganger from the law of space flew out with a sword in hand. His sword ray swept out, causing Yun Qing Peng's sword ray to dim immediately.

Swoosh!

The void began to shake before countless hairline cracks appeared in the wake of Duan Ling Tian's sword.

At the same time, the phenomenon of the law that shone for 100,000 miles appeared.

The sword ray was like water extinguishing fire when it swept over Yun Qing Peng's sword ray. It continued to sweep toward Yun Qing Peng, looking unstoppable.

Yun Qing Peng had attacked domineeringly earlier. It was as though he could cleave the world into two with his sword. However, at this time, his attack had been completely crushed by Duan Ling Tian's doppelganger. His power seemed like a joke when compared to Duan Ling Tian.

"No!"

When Yun Qing Peng recovered his senses, his expression changed drastically. He tried to teleport away but discovered that the space around him had been disrupted, effectively preventing him from leaving.

Duan Ling Tian's strongest law was the law of space, after all. If even Yun Qing Peng could briefly disrupt the space to prevent Duan Ling Tian from leaving earlier, Duan Ling Tian could naturally do so as well.

"Elder Yun Zhang, save me!" Yun Qing Peng cried out urgently. He felt as though death was fast approaching him at this moment. He had used his bloodline power, but he still could not defend himself against the incoming attack. At this moment, he felt like his opponent was not someone who had just become a rudimentary Supreme God; his opponent felt like a very powerful rudimentary Supreme God. In fact, the opponent was even stronger than his cousin. He was even more sure of this when he recalled Duan Ling Tian's earlier words about his cousin.

"Stop!"

The old man, Yun Zhang, who was tasked with protecting Yun Qing Peng, recovered from the shock of seeing Duan Ling Tian's strength as well. He quickly rushed toward Yun Qing Peng to save Yun Qing Peng. However, as soon as he made a move, someone appeared and blocked his way. It was Duan Ling Tian's true body.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Yun Zhang did not dare to waste time at all. He attacked with all his might immediately.

Flames began to surge in the air as a Supreme God Phenomenon that was about 100 meters tall appeared.

The old man not only intended to deal with Duan Ling Tian, but he intended to save Yun Qing Peng at the same time. He used his prominent divine artifacts, a pair of hammers, to save Yun Qing Peng. The pair of hammers flew in the sky like meteors before it blocked the sword ray from Duan Ling Tian's doppelganger, which was about to kill Yun Qing Peng. In the end, he successfully shattered Duan Ling Tian's sword ray, saving Yun Qing Peng.

Now that Yun Qing Peng was safe, the horrified expression on Yun Qing Peng's face disappeared, replaced with an expression of indifference. He said mockingly,

"I really didn't expect you to be so strong… Alas, no matter how strong you are, you won't be a match for Elder Yun Zhang… You…"

Yun Qing Peng suddenly stopped speaking. He watched as Duan Ling Tian seemed to turn into a seven-colored sword ray in the sky and pierced the bottom of Yun Zhang's Supreme God Phenomenon. Then, before Yun Zhang could react, Duan Ling Tian exploded with even more terrifying power before completely destroying Yun Zhang's Supreme God Phenomenon.

"Impossible!" Yun Zhang exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

A fleeting moment after his Supreme God Phenomenon was destroyed, Yun Zhang was reduced to ashes.

Following that, a huge figure appeared in the sky and wailed loudly before it crumbled to the ground.

Just like that, an intermediate Supreme God died.

Everything happened in just a blink of an eye.

Yun Zhang died as soon as he saved Yun Qing Peng. In fact, if he did not save Yun Qing Peng, he would have been able to hold on for a while even if he would eventually lose to Duan Ling Tian. However, not only did he save Yun Qing Peng, but he had also underestimated Duan Ling Tian. As such, he died a very quick death; Duan Ling Tian killed him with just a strike.

"N-no… Impossible…"

The mocking smile on Yun Qing Peng's face had already vanished at this time. His face was pale, and his body trembled violently. He had trouble processing the absurd scene he had just seen.

Yun Zhang, an intermediate Supreme God who had stabilized his cultivation base, was killed with just a strike. Even if Yun Zhang was careless, this was still unbelievable. Most importantly, the other party was just a new rudimentary Supreme God who had yet to stabilize his cultivation base. How could someone like that kill an intermediate Supreme God who had stabilized his cultivation base?

Yun Qing Peng felt his soul tremble at this moment. Someone like Duan Ling Tian was a rare existence in all of the Realms of Gods. To think he ran into such a person today. Not only that, but he also took the initiative to provoke Duan Ling Tian. If he could turn back time, he would not have dared to provoke Duan Ling Tian no matter what.

Initially, when Yun Qing Peng saw that Duan Ling Tian had just become a rudimentary Supreme God, he wanted to fight Duan Ling Tian to hone his skills. It was beyond his expectation that Duan Ling Tian was capable of killing Yun Zhang, the intermediate Supreme God who was assigned to protect him.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian's doppelganger had already returned to his body. He flew over to Yun Qing Peng before he said with a chuckle, "It seems you have a deep connection with your servant. Alas, if he didn't save you, he wouldn't have died so quickly."

When Duan Ling Tian appeared in front of Yun Qing Peng, Yun Qing Peng was so frightened that he instinctively retreated a few steps. At the same time, he asked tremblingly, "Y-you… W-who are you?"

"I'm someone who almost killed your cousin," Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile. Then, an expression of regret appeared on his face before he continued to say, "It's a pity that the Clan Leader of your Yun clan gave him a life-saving means. Otherwise, he would have died before you."

With these words, Duan Ling Tian sentenced Yun Qing Peng to death.

Initially, Yun Qing Peng considered using his connection to the Yun clan, a prime supreme-rank force in the Divine Offering Land, to intimidate Duan Ling Tian. Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian would not dare to kill him. However, after listening to Duan Ling Tian's words, he felt as though his heart was frozen. Clearly, Duan Ling Tian did not care about nor was he afraid of the Yun clan at all.

Yun Qing Peng took a deep breath to calm his fear before he said, "Sir… You won't benefit from killing me. If you're willing to spare my life, I'll help you kill Yun Qing Yan! Sir, since you've made an attempt on my cousin's life before, both my cousin and my uncle are definitely on high alert now. It won't be easy for you to find a chance to kill him again. I can help you kill him! They'll be wary of outsiders, but they won't be wary of me! With my help, it won't be difficult for you to kill him!"

Yun Qing Peng grew calmer and calmer as he spoke. At the same time, his eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation. After all, for him, there were only advantages and no disadvantages if Yun Qing Yan died.

Yun Qing Yan was cruel and petty. In the past, when Yun Qing Peng was a child, he had offended Yun Qing Yan because of a trivial matter. However, to this day, Yun Qing Yan still held a grudge against him. If his father were not the Second Master of the Yun clan, who was also Yun Qing Yan's Second Uncle, Yun Qing Yan would have long killed him. Alas, although Yun Qing Yan did not kill him, Yun Qing Yan was hostile to him and would humiliate him at every turn.

If Yun Qing Yan died, Yun Qing Peng still would not become the future Clan Leader of the Yun clan. After all, Yun Qing Yan's father had other sons. Nonetheless, Yun Qing Peng was still very eager for Yun Qing Yan to die. At the very least, he would not be bullied again in the future.

"It seems like you don't have a good relationship with Yun Qing Yan…"

Duan Ling Tian, who was about to kill Yun Qing Peng, saw the anticipation in Yun Qing Peng's eyes when he spoke. It was clear to him that Yun Qing Peng was not pretending, unless Yun Qing Peng was a very good actor.

Yun Qing Peng said solemnly, "Sir, I really wish Yun Qing Yan is dead! Sir, I'm more than willing to create an opportunity for you to kill Yun Qing Yan. I'll be honest, I'm really afraid of death. I won't lie to you. I'll only create an opportunity for you, but I'll only do it after making sure I'll get away with it unscathed."

Duan Ling Tian's eyes flashed before he said with a faint smile, "Interesting… In this case, we'll exchange Soul Pearls to facilitate our communication in the Divine Offering Land."

"Alright!"

Yun Qing Peng's eyes brightened as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. He knew that his life was saved. At the same time, he realized that Duan Ling Tian really wanted to kill Yun Qing Yan.

'Yun Qing Yan, why did you offend such a person?' Yun Qing Peng could not help but wonder curiously. He was curious about the reason, but he was really not surprised that Yun Qing Yan offended Duan Ling Tian. After all, it was normal for Yun Qing Yan to offend people with his attitude.
