Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tian Dong shuddered when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s cold gaze. He felt as though he had fallen into a thaw hole.

Meanwhile, horror dawned on Dong Lin. It did not cross his mind that Duan Ling Tian would dare to threaten the Enforcement Hall’s First Silver Flame Elder Tian Dong. He dared to threaten Tian Dong using him! He took a deep breath as he looked into Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. He saw the unwavering determination in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes so he did not doubt his words. At this moment, fear began to rise in his heart. He felt a little regretful that he went to look for his father so he could get someone to help him seek revenge! If he had not done so, he would not be in this predicament. It was difficult for him to extricate himself from this situation now that it had escalated to this point.

Swoosh!

Horror also dawned on Tian Dong when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s threats. Similar to Dong Lin, he did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so bold to threaten him using Dong Lin! He had no choice but to take Duan Ling Tian’s threats seriously! Tian Dong had experienced a lot so he could tell Duan Ling Tian was not making empty threats!

“If you don’t care about Dong Lin, I’ll look for those who are close to you. It might be your children or your direct disciples! I’m going to treat them exactly how you treat me today!” Duan Ling Tian said coldly as he turned back to look at Tian Dong.

“Unless you kill me today, I’ll be a nightmare to those who are close to you in the future. Whether it’s Dong Lin or the people you care about, you can’t be by their sides to protect them all the time, right?” Duan Ling Tian continued to ask threateningly as his body emitted cold killing intent. It seemed as though the temperature in the surroundings had dropped a few degrees.

Threat!

A blatant threat!

Tian Dong’s started seeing red as horror dawned on him when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. His body began to emit a terrifying killing intent as well. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so unpredictable! Apart from having two direct disciples, he had a son and a daughter. All of them were equally important to him. They were people he wanted to protect. Duan Ling Tian’s threats struck at his Achilles’ heels!

“Duan Ling Tian a-actually threatened Elder Tian Dong? H-he’s really unyielding!”

“As expected from someone who dares to offend the Black Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver Flame Elder Li An the moment he arrived in the Fire Worship Sect! I really admire Duan Ling Tian!”

“Me too!”

When the few Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elders saw this, they were stunned. They could not help but muse among themselves.

In their eyes, Duan Ling Tian was abnormal! He was bold enough to threaten the Enforcement Hall’s First Silver Flame Elder Tian Dong? Was this something an ordinary Fire Worship Sect’s disciple dared to do? They felt Duan Ling Tian was really smart as well. It seemed as though he had abandoned all logic, but in truth, it was a huge psychological move!

Judging by Tian Dong’s constantly changing expressions and how he had yet to make his move, they could tell the Enforcement Hall’s First Silver Flame Elder had been intimidated by Duan Ling Tian’s threat and did not dare to recklessly make a move against Duan Ling Tian! They would react like Tian Dong if they were in his position as well!

Tian Dong had a son, a daughter, and two direct disciples. Although they were quite strong, they could not compare to Duan Ling Tian at all!

“What’re you going to do now?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Tian Dong and smirked coldly. “Are you going to make a move or are you going to stand at the side obediently like a statue? Since I’m a man with nothing, I’m not afraid of losing. I dare to harm Dong Lin, your children, and your direct disciples, if you dare to harm me!”

A man with nothing was not afraid of losing!

When the few Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elders heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, they felt that it was absolutely right!

Indeed. Currently, Duan Ling Tian had nothing to lose.

Unless Elder Tian Dong dared to kill Duan Ling Tian or even crippled him, Duan Ling Tian would be able to seek revenge once he had recovered.

Tian Dong was not alone after all. He had children and two direct disciples.

Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, was all alone in the Fire Worship Sect. There was nothing for him to fear at all.

They could tell this was where Duan Ling Tian’s courage came from.

“Duan Ling Tian, don’t you think you’re crossing the line?” Tian Dong said coldly as his expression turned grave when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, “As the saying goes, ‘Never involve family during war!’ Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by doing so?”

“Laughed at?” Upon hearing Tian Dong’s words, Duan Ling Tian was stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed loudly as though he had heard a joke

“Tian Dong! Do you really have the right to say such words in front of me?” Duan Ling Tian’s gaze turned cold as he said with a cold smile, “I’ve never met you before this. The moment you appeared, you wanted to attack me. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at for bullying a true disciple using your status as an Enforcement Hall’s Silver Flame Elder? If you’re not afraid, why should I be afraid? That’s all I have to say for today!”

Duan Ling Tian’s tone changed suddenly as he announced without the slightest trace of hesitation, “Unless you kill or cripple me today, even if you only touch a strand of my hair, I’ll look for your children and direct disciples for a friendly match!”

Threat!

Another blatant threat!

However, no matter how infuriated Tian Dong was, faced with Duan Ling Tian’s threats, he did not even dare to fart.

When Duan Ling Tian saw Tian Dong standing still, he walked toward Dong Lin as he said, “It’s better if you just obediently stand aside and be a statue!”

Bang!

Bang!

Nobody knew if Duan Ling Tian had intentionally done so, but when he walked, it caused the air to vibrate and created loud noises.

Horror dawned on Dong Lin immediately when he heard the noises. Every step Duan Ling Tian took felt as though he was stepping on his chest. He felt as though he could not breathe.

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian was only several meters away from Dong Lin.

“Elder Tian Dong!” Dong Lin called out as his heart jolted when he sensed Duan Ling Tian’s killing intent and saw the coldness in his eyes.

Whoosh!

Almost as soon as Dong Lin’s words left his mouth, Tian Dong appeared in front of him, shielding him.

Dong Lin sighed in relief when he saw Tian Dong appearing before him like a shield. If it was before, he would have shouted for Tian Dong to attack Duan Ling Tian to vent his anger and hatred. However, when he recalled Duan Ling Tian’s threats, the words were stuck in his throat.

Tian Dong could torture Duan Ling Tian until he wished he was dead, but Duan Ling Tian would vent all his anger on Dong Lin.

The moment Dong Lin thought of this, he was afraid! Although Dong Lin was clenching his teeth so hard it felt like they were going to break, he did not dare to urge Tian Dong to make his move.

“Duan Ling Tian, stop before you go too far!” Tian Dong said in his deep voice after he stood in front of Dong Lin and shielded him.

“Tian Dong!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grave when he saw Tian Dong blocking his path. “Don’t tell me you didn’t hear what I said earlier? I told you to obediently stand aside like a statue. Behave like a statue. Do you understand?!”

“Duan Ling Tian, do you really think I’m afraid to touch you?” Tian Dong’s expression was extremely grave. He could not just stand aside quietly as Duan Ling Tian tortured Dong Lin. If he had let it happened, he would have a hard time explaining himself to Dong Lin’s father, Vice Hall Master Dong. For this reason, he chose to act!

Originally, he came here to help Dong Lin seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian. Who would have thought Duan Ling Tian was this shameless and would threaten him using his children and disciples. Duan Ling Tian had made him hesitate when he wanted to make a move. He feared his retaliation after all.

“Indeed. I really don’t think you dare to touch me!” Duan Ling Tian smiled contemptuously when he heard Tian Dong’s words. He said, “Tian Dong, if you don’t want me to look for your children and direct disciples for a friendly match, you better move! After all, there’s no enmity between us nor do I wish to create one between us!”

The few Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elders were speechless when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Duan Ling Tian was being too shameless, right?

He used Tian Dong’s children and direct disciples to threaten him. Was this not creating enmity between him and Tian Dong? However, he just said that he did not want enmity between him and Tian Dong?

“Duan Ling Tian, don’t cross the line!” Faced with Duan Ling Tian’s threats again, Tian Dong could not suppress the anger he felt. His eyes shone with killing intent.

“Elder Tian Dong, you better don’t move. Otherwise, I-I’ll definitely tell my father you switched sides and helped Duan Ling Tian!” Dong Lin began to threaten Tian Dong as well when he sensed Tian Dong’s frustration. He was afraid that Tian Dong might abandon him for the sake of his children and direct disciples. Without Tian Dong, he was no match for Duan Ling Tian at all.
