C599 First Palace Master
C599 First Palace Master
After all, in the scene, only Heaven Grade alchemists had the courage to do so. No one thought that it was anyone else.
But the two Supreme Elders did not think so, because they had clearly seen what had happened. At the same time, they also knew who the person who had attacked had come from. It was not Alchemist Bai Wei at all. It was the young man beside her.
The three Grand Elders all looked at Ling Jian. The shock in their eyes could not be any greater.
At that moment, Ling Jian was standing there calmly. His white clothes made him look clean. At the same time, he had his hands behind his back, giving off an unfathomable feeling.
It was this kind of action that formed such a powerful killing move out of thin air. Their eyes were dull as they looked at the black flame behind Ling Jian in disbelief. They sucked in a breath of cold air, unable to believe that it was only a young man. He actually possessed such terrifying combat strength.
"This... how is this possible?"
"The Vice Hall Master was killed by his strange black flames in just a single exchange."
"This is too unbelievable. If the Vice Hall Master's strength was below the Heavenly Dao Realm, I'm afraid there would be no one who could match him."
"He's not even twenty years old yet, but the force he has displayed has clearly reached the level of a Heavenly Dao expert."
"Truly inconceivable. Perhaps it's the cluster of black flames behind him. Could it be that this young man is also an alchemist?"
Everyone started to become suspicious.
After all, Bai Wei was a Heaven rank alchemist. It was very normal for Ling, who was with Bai Wei, to be an alchemist.
They also knew that some powerful alchemists possessed powerful flames. These flames were not only extremely helpful for pill refinement, but also had a terrifying destructive power when it came to killing enemies.
On both sides of the street, regardless of whether it was the elders of the Demon Suppressing Palace or those unimportant cultivators, they were all in an unprecedented shock and uproar because the deputy hall master had been instantly killed.
However, the difference was that some of those with high cultivation could see what had just happened. As for those with low cultivation, they looked at Bai Wei even more. If there were people present who could pose a threat to the Deputy Palace Master, then... The only person who could pose a threat to the Deputy Palace Master was Bai Wei, the Heaven Grade alchemist.
Those who could tell how the Deputy Palace Master had died looked even more serious.
After all, the Deputy Hall Master was the strongest cultivator at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Spirit Path in the City of Earth. As the second strongest expert of the Demon Suppression Hall, there was no one in the City of Earth Suppression who didn't know about it. Other than the alchemists of the Dan Family, his status could be said to be unparalleled. But now, such a figure had actually been killed in an instant.
The expressions of the elders of the Devil Suppressing Palace were gloomy and uncertain. Their gazes when looking at Ling Jian and the others became filled with killing intent.
After all, the Vice Hall Master was the hall master of the Devil Suppressing Palace, yet he had been killed right under their noses. To them, this was an extremely great defeat.
After all, during the entire process, they could only watch helplessly as the situation developed and were powerless to do anything.
The two Grand Elders' faces were ashen, and an endless chill rose in their hearts. They were the closest to the huge hand formed by the flames, so the surging heat waves emitted from the black flames... They could also clearly feel it.
The more they felt this way, the uglier their mood became.
At this moment, they had truly felt the gap between themselves and Ling Jian.
Previously, they had suspected that Ling Jian had a part of the sneak attack. However, from the looks of it now, even if the two of them were to face him head on, they would still not be a match for this young man.
After all, the reason why they had been half a beat slower when attacking together with the Deputy Hall Master was because they had hesitated after Bai Wei had taken out the alchemist token.
Although the Demon Suppressing Palace was the number one faction in the Demon Suppressing Palace, it was still not enough to deal with an outsider like the Dan Clan. It was because the Dan Family had the Pill Sect behind them. Such a faction was extremely famous in the next eight days.
Fortunately, the Dan Family had always maintained a neutral stance. Otherwise, their Demon Suppressing Palace would not have easily become the number one faction in the city.
If it wasn't for their hesitation earlier, they would have turned into dust just like the Vice Hall Master. Thus, when they saw Ling Jian's gaze, they became extremely solemn once again.
They did not dare to make any moves now, afraid that they would accidentally anger this malefic star in front of them. Perhaps only the First Hall Master would be able to suppress this young man. Otherwise, just this youth alone would be enough to kill them all. Even the Demon Suppressing Palace would be destroyed.
"This!"
Bai Wei's eyes widened. The scene in front of her was hard for her to accept. She never would have thought that Ling Jian's attainments in the Alchemy Path would be so outstanding. Even the so-called combat power was so powerful.
This was the first time she had the impulse to not see through Ling Jian.
Because no matter how much she fantasized before, she never thought that Ling Jian would still hide such a formidable combat strength.
Recalling how Ling Jian did not care about the life and death of Apothecary Ling Yun previously, she did not know the reason at first. But now, it seemed like she knew everything in her heart.
With such formidable strength, even if Apothecary Ling Yun still had a breath left in him, he would not truly die in front of Ling Jian.
And what was the so-called Devil Suppressing Palace?
"Could it be that I've always misjudged him? He's actually a Heavenly Dao expert?"
"Being able to easily refine Quasi-Heavenly Pills, I've long thought of this possibility."
"Tsk tsk, looks like he can already be considered a Heaven Grade alchemist."
Alchemist Bai Wei thought about it in her heart. Very quickly, she linked Ling Jian's skill in alchemy to his cultivation level.
If it was a Spiritual Dao expert, it would be very difficult to refine a Quasi-Heaven Pill. However, if it was a Heavenly Dao expert, although it would not be easy to refine such a pill, it would still be much easier than a Spiritual Dao expert.
After all, cultivation level was there. This was the greatest foundation.
But soon after, it caused her expression to become extremely strange.
Ling Jian was so young, yet his cultivation base had already reached the Heavenly Dao Realm. If he really grew up in the future, what kind of level would he reach?
On the entire street, everyone became indescribably shocked.
Some were shocked by the Deputy Hall Master being killed in such a manner, while others were shocked because of the person who had attacked.
However, Apothecary Ling Yun's expression was rather calm. Clearly, he had expected this outcome a long time ago. After all, as Ling Jian's disciple, he was clearly aware of Ling Jian's true strength.
"All of you should be the strongest two other than the Vice Hall Master. If I were to kill all of you here, wouldn't that mean that the Demon Suppressing Palace will be removed from the Earth Suppressing City in the future?"
Ling Jian looked at the two Grand Elders whose expressions had changed drastically and spoke in a cold voice.
The two Grand Elders were even more nervous. When they heard Ling Jian's words, their expressions changed dramatically.
"Senior, you are magnanimous. Let this lowly one go. Previously, when you attacked Senior, you had no choice but to do so."
The two supreme elders immediately spoke. They no longer had their former nobility.
The corners of Ling Jian's mouth carried a cold smile. Now, he had already given the order to kill. Naturally, he would not allow the two of them to continue living as he indifferently extended his palm. The enormous flaming palm that had yet to descend from the sky furiously slammed down, directly aiming at the two of them.
At this moment, the expressions of the two of them had already changed drastically. After sensing the terrifying pressure contained within the large black flame hand, they did not even have the chance to escape. They could only watch helplessly as the enormous flaming palm, which was formed from the Undying Black Flame, ruthlessly slammed down towards the two of them.
Faced with such an outcome, the various elders of the Devil Suppressing Palace all felt a wave of powerlessness. They knew that this kind of inferior battle was no longer something they could control.
At this moment, the surrounding cultivators were staring intently at this scene. Their expressions were extremely shocked.
In the Devil Suppressing Palace, besides the First Palace Master, the Peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path was already considered the strongest person in this place, but who would have thought that... Three of such experts would die today. This was definitely the most sensational event in the history of the city.
Everyone held their breaths, watching as the huge black hand was about to descend. It was as if in the next moment, it was going to kill the elder on the platform of the Demon Suppression Hall.
However, at this moment, the distant sky suddenly shook intensely. After which, an extremely shocking Spiritual Energy storm swept out.
Wherever this spiritual energy passed, it instantly formed layers of defense on the bodies of the two Grand Elders, directly protecting them within.
"Your Excellency, your style seems somewhat improper, right?"
And then. A rather low and deep voice was directly transmitted from the distant horizon, just like the rumbling of thunder.
At the same time, an extremely powerful pressure swiftly approached from the distance. Clearly, someone was rushing over at an extremely fast speed.
Everyone's gazes turned rapidly at this moment. After which, they looked towards the place where the sound came from. They saw a human figure quietly standing between the heavens and the earth in the distant sky. Mighty force spread from his body. Behind him... There were also huge wings of light that blotted out the sun.
"He's standing in the air. He's a Heavenly Dao expert!"
"Protecting the two Supreme Elders, could this be the number one Palace Master of the Demon Suppressing Palace?"
Everyone's eyes paused on the figure standing between the sky and earth in the distance. They immediately recognized him.
After all, everyone who lived in the Demon Suppressing Palace knew about the existence of the Demon Suppressing Palace and the First Hall Master.
He was the only Heavenly Dao expert in the entire City.
Ling Jian also glanced at the First Palace Master who had suddenly appeared, but his respect was different from the others. After taking a look, he retracted his gaze. A cold glint also surfaced deep within his eyes.
His other hand suddenly clenched into a fist at this moment. A shocking Spiritual Energy fluctuation appeared on his fist. After which, he threw a punch towards the light barrier on the two Grand Elders.
Peng!
The light membrane on the two of them exploded. Without the protection of the First Palace Master, the two Supreme Elders were no longer able to resist and were instantly killed by Ling Jian on the spot.
The entire place was dead silent.
Everyone was stunned. Ling Jian's actions had stunned them. They did not expect the First Hall Master to appear and kill the First Hall Master so decisively.
"Damn it ~!"
The First Hall Master, who was rushing over at high speed, had an incomparably ashen expression on his face. He had never expected that the First Hall Master would not even give him face. This was something that he was truly unable to accept.
All along, as the strongest person in the entire Suppressing Earth City, there had been no one who had not taken him to heart.
"Didn't I ask you to show mercy just now? Why do you still want to exterminate the two great elders?"
The First Hall Master said angrily. His figure landed not far away from Ling Jian, and at this moment, his heart exploded.
In the entire Demon Suppressing Palace, there were only three experts at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path.
But now, all of them had died at Ling Jian's hands.
Even though he was a Heavenly Dao Realm expert, his state of mind was still fiercely touched at this moment.
"Two reckless things actually dare to attack me. It's fine if I kill them, but do I still need to give you an explanation?"
Ling Jian raised his head and said with a faint smile.
He did not take the First Hall Master seriously. With his powerful divine sense, he naturally sensed the specific cultivation of the First Hall Master of the Devil Suppressing Palace.
He was merely at the initial-stage of Heaven Enlightenment Realm. Although after entering the Heavenly Dao Realm, at the same time, Divine Sense would be born. However, Ling Jian had always possessed the latter. Perhaps it was because he had cultivated the Flowing Light Sword Pupil.
His divine sense had arrived earlier than a Heavenly Dao Realm expert. According to his estimations, even if a Heavenly Enlightenment Realm expert were to fight against his divine sense, the final outcome would be defeat.
The First Hall Master was about to continue questioning, but as Ling Jian's faint voice sounded, he also involuntarily looked at the youth opposite him. Their gazes collided in the void. Faintly, sparks seemed to splatter out.
In an instant, the First Hall Master felt an endless pressure bursting out from the First Hall Master's body. However, this pressure didn't come from his spiritual power, but from his divine sense.
The scene in front of him changed in an instant. The First Hall Master was inexplicably shocked. At this moment, a golden sword slashed through the layers of waves and slashed down furiously at him.
"This... This is impossible!"
The First Hall Master was not unfamiliar with the aura emitted by the golden sword. This was the Divine Sense that could only be obtained after one entered the Heavenly Dao Realm.
For most cultivators, the Divine Sense was an extremely mysterious existence. In theory, only those who had reached the Heavenly Dao Realm would possess the Divine Sense. If one's cultivation had not reached the Heavenly Dao Realm, the Divine Sense could be derived. It was impossible to produce Divine Sense.
Even though he had already broken through to the Heavenly Dao Realm, his cultivation level was only at the initial stage of the Heaven Enlightenment Realm. His divine sense was extremely weak. It was impossible for him to form a physical object like Ling Jian.
He never would have thought that Ling Jian not only had powerful divine sense, but also attacked him with divine sense.
At this moment, the huge golden sword slashed down furiously. However, he did not dare to show the slightest bit of neglect. He hurriedly circulated the power of his divine sense, and in an instant, his divine sense formed an incomparably exquisite palace within his body. This palace appeared extremely solemn. However, at this moment, it was like a huge tower that firmly suppressed his sea of consciousness.
Boom!
At this moment, the objects formed by their divine senses directly collided with each other.
The power that spread out from the collision of their Divine Senses spread out and spread in all directions. Some of the cultivators who were constantly dodging were turned into idiots by the Divine Senses. 1
Although Divine Senses would not cause any harm to the physical body, they were extremely lethal to the mind. Usually, when they were severely injured by Divine Senses, most of them would be reduced to idiots and would not be able to cultivate.
For the First Palace Master of the Demon Suppressing Palace, his current condition wasn't good. On one hand, his Divine Senses were already weak when he had just stepped into the Heavenly Dao Realm. On the other hand, he had never trained his Divine Senses too much.
The fact that Ling Jian was able to unleash such a sharp divine sense attack was enough to prove that his opponent was indeed very outstanding. At the same time, he had a higher understanding of divine sense than him.
If he were to fight with those ordinary Heavenly Dao Realm experts, this bit of Divine Perception would be sufficient. Unfortunately, he had encountered Ling Jian today.
How could the illusory palace that was formed from divine sense be a match for Ling Jian?
In the blink of an eye, the palace he had transformed into... It was split open by Ling Jian's huge golden sword. And... At the same time... As the palace was split open, Ling Jian's divine sense immediately surged madly into his sea of consciousness like a tidal wave.
Ah!
Ah! Ah!
When Ling Jian's divine sense completely invaded his sea of consciousness, the First Hall Master's face instantly turned pale. His miserable cry rang out, but it caused the expressions of the various elders of the Devil Suppressing Palace to change. Their faces were filled with confusion.
What was wrong with the First Palace Master?
Why did he look at Ling Jian and not attack him? After all, Ling Jian had killed their Devil Suppressing Palace. Three experts at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Spirit Path!
Most of the people present had not even reached the Heavenly Dao Realm, so they naturally could not detect the clash of divine senses just now at all.
"What's wrong with the First Hall Master?"
"Why do I feel that something is wrong? The First Hall Master is a Heavenly Dao Realm expert. If he were to make a move, wouldn't he be able to get rid of this youth?"
"Isn't this a bit too ridiculous? Is this youth really that formidable?"
...
Many cultivators also noticed this scene at this moment, and they all looked at Ling Jian in astonishment.
Although they did not see Ling Jian make a move, Ling Jian actually dared to kill two Supreme Elders under his shout just now. They felt that the appearance of the First Hall Master in front of them naturally had something to do with Ling Jian.
