Chapter 2046: Rabid Dog!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Tian Dong was not shocked like Dong Lin and the few Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elders watching by the side, his gaze had changed when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He was not unfamiliar with the name Duan Ling Tian since he had heard about the things he had done after he entered the Fire Worship Sect. Moreover, like most of the Silver Flame Elders in the Fire Worship Sect, he had thought about accepting him as his direct disciple. However, he dismissed this idea when he learned that Duan Ling Tian had a master who was a sectless cultivator and he would not accept another master unless he obtained permission from his master.

This news had long been circulating among the high-ranking officials in the Fire Worship Sect, that was why he knew about all of it.

“Duan Ling Tian, how dare you?!” Dong Lin said loudly when he regained his senses, “You know who Elder Tian Dong is, yet you still addressed him by his name. How dare you be so disrespectful to him?!”

Tian Dong looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly after Dong Lin finished speaking. It felt as though the temperature in the surrounding had dropped several degrees. Naturally, this was not because of the disrespect that Dong Lin mentioned. There was only one reason he had come today. It was to teach Duan Ling Tian a lesson and seek revenge for Dong Lin!

The few Bronze Flame Elders watching by the side felt chills running up their spines when they saw this. They had long heard about the dispute between Duan Ling Tian and Dong Lin. Today, when they saw Dong Lin and Tian Dong, they all knew he had come to seek revenge. He was so courageous because he had brought Elder Tian Dong, the First Silver Flame Elder in the Enforcement Hall, with him.

Apart from being the Enforcement Hall’s First Silver Flame Elder, Tian Dong’s strength was in the top three among all the Silver Flame Elders in the Fire Worship Sect. He was ranked at 109th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking.

Most importantly, as the Enforcement Hall’s elders, these Bronze Flame Elders had long heard that Elder Tian Dong was a rabid dog under the command of the Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master Dong Yuan Jin. He would bite whoever Dong Yuan Jin asked him to bite! He was usually calm but when he acted, he acted swiftly.

“Duan Ling Tian!” Tian Dong snarled as soon as Dong Lin finished speaking. He strode forward. His oppressive aura surged out his body and shrouded Duan Ling Tian as though it was trying to crush him.

Unfortunately, just the mere aura of a powerhouse at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would not affect Duan Ling Tian. He did not even have to mobilize the Sun Saint Energy in his body. The instant he used his sword aura that contained the Sovereign Heart Sword, he managed to repel Tian Dong’s aura.

A hint of astonishment flashed in the depths of Tian Dong’s eyes when he sensed this.

‘This Duan Ling Tian is quite capable. However, since he has offended Lord Vice Hall Master, he has to be taught a lesson today!’ Tian Dong’s eyes gleamed coldly after he recovered from the shock. He had been ordered to find an excuse to teach Duan Ling Tian a lesson and make him feel that he would be better off dead.

“Ever since I became a Silver Flame Elder in the Fire Worship Sect, this is my first time encountering a disciple who addresses me without my title. How bold! It seems like you don’t have any manners. I’ll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of your master who’s a sectless cultivator!” Tian Dong said as he moved toward Duan Ling Tian.

The Bronze Flame Elders felt as though Tian Dong was stepping on their chests with every step he took. They were all nervous as well. In their opinion, Duan Ling Tian was doomed!

It was obvious Tian Dong was here to seek revenge for Dong Lin. Now that he had found an excuse, he could teach Duan Ling Tian a lesson to his heart’s content.

“Sectless cultivator?” Duan Ling Tian was momentarily stunned when he heard Tian Dong’s words. Then, he realized Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong must have spread the news about him having a sectless cultivator as his master. Otherwise, Tian Dong would not have known his master was a sectless cultivator. He had only mentioned this to Guo Xiong. He had also told him that he would not accept another master unless he had obtained permission from his master.

Duan Ling Tian had told Guo Xiong this because, at that time, Guo Xiong had wanted to recommend him to be the disciple of the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum! Unfortunately, he, Duan Ling Tian, already had a master. His master was the Sword Saint, Feng Qing Yang! Although he had never met his master before, he felt very grateful to his master. The Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method Sovereign Heart Sword that his master left behind helped him achieve what he had achieved so far in a short period of time.

‘This is good. Since Elder Guo Xiong spread this news, I’m sure no one’s bothered about becoming my master,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

At this instant, not only was Duan Ling Tian not offended that Elder Guo Xiong had spread word about this, but he felt slightly thankful.

“Hurmph!” Duan Ling Tian regained his senses and looked at Tian Dong who was making his way to him. Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were cold as he said, “He who has a mind to beat a dog will easily find his stick! Since you came with Dong Lin, you know better than anyone else why you’re really here. Since you plan to seek revenge for Dong Lin, is there a need for me to be respectful to you? Perhaps, in the eyes of the others, you’re the lofty First Silver Flame Elder of the Enforcement Hall. However, in my eyes, you’re nothing but a rabid dog!”

Gasp! Gasp! gasp!

The Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elders gasped in unison when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s brash words. They looked at him as though they had just seen a ghost.

Although almost everybody in the Enforcement Hall knew that Tian Dong was Vice Hall Master Dong Yuan Jin’s dog, nobody dared to say it to his face.

Duan Ling Tian was definitely the first person to do this!

“Duan Ling Tian’s crazy!”

“Is he seeking death?”

“Perhaps, he thinks Elder Tian Dong wouldn’t show any mercy so he decided to just act however he wants.”

The few Bronze Flame Elders looked at Duan Ling Tian sympathetically.

When Dong Lin heard Duan Ling Tian’s words to Tian Dong, he was momentarily stunned as well. It was obvious he did not think Duan Ling Tian was crazy enough to speak to Tian Dong this way and call him a rabid dog!

“Duan Ling Tian, you can’t blame others when you’re the one seeking death!” Dong Lin gloated as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was obvious he took delight in Duan Ling Tian’s misfortune.

“W-What did you call me?” Tian Dong was stunned for a long time before he regained his senses. His eyes were filled with a terrifying killing intent when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

The moment Tian Dong spoke, the few Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elders shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian again.

They were curious if Duan Ling Tian was bold enough to repeat what he had just said. They quickly obtained the answer to their question.

“I said that in my eyes, you’re merely a rabid dog! Do you hear me? Do you need me to repeat myself again?” Duan Ling Tian answered coldly. He spoke unreservedly.

Duan Ling Tian’s words caused chills to run the Enforcement Hall’s elders’ spines. In their opinion, Duan Ling Tian was crazy!

“You’re seeking death!” The delight in Dong Lin’s eyes was apparent,

“You’re seeking death!” Tian Dong shouted when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. In the next moment, his body moved toward Duan Ling Tian like a bolt of lightning.

As soon as Tian Dong moved, Duan Ling Tian said coldly, “Tian Dong, if you make your move now, don’t regret it later!” His words that were spoken so coldly caused Tian Dong to come to a halt several meters in front of him.

“Regret?” Tian Dong suppressed the rage in his heart as he looked at Duan Ling Tian warily. He asked coldly, “What do you mean?”

‘Don’t tell me Duan Ling Tian has stronger backing?’ The few Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elders thought to themselves.

“Elder Tian Dong, don’t believe him! He just likes to kick up dust! Make your move! Teach him a proper lesson!” Dong Lin who was standing nearby chimed in.

As soon as Dong Lin finished speaking, Tian Dong’s eyes flashed coldly as he prepared to make his move again. However, Duan Ling Tian suddenly burst out laughing loudly.

Everyone was still in shock when he just abruptly stopped laughing.

The laughter that sounded like rain stopped as quickly as it came.

“Tian Dong!” Duan Ling Tian looked at Tian Dong coldly as he said, “You better think this through. You can only torture me but you can’t kill me or cripple me. If you dare to make a move on me, I’ll return everything you’ve done to me to Dong Lin!” When he reached the end of his sentence, he turned to look at Dong Lin.
