Chapter 12

Soon, Li Lingtian and Chen Yun arrived at the Life or Death Canyon. Cliff-faced on both sides, the canyon was a hundred yards wide in the middle and a popular spot for disciples to cultivate on the outside. Inside the Life or Death Canyon, several people were waiting and Shangguan Linger was one of them.

“Good-for-nothing, I didn’t think you’d have the guts to come.”

The loud taunting voice attracted many cultivating disciples to catch sight of a young man walking out.

“Yang Tianchen, so it is you.”

Faced with the Tier Eight Warrior Yang Tianchen, Li Lingtian carried himself with ease, showing no fear. He could crush a Tier Nine Warrior with a single fist, let alone a Tier Eight Warrior.

“Senior Brother Li.”

“Chen Yun.”

At that time, another voice was heard. It was loud and clear, so Li Lingtian knew who it was without looking.

Xue Da’s tall figure emerged before he swiftly made his way by Li Lingtian and stood alongside Chen Yun. The trio faced Yang Tianchen’s team, unflinching at Yang Tianchen’s cultivation level.

At the front of the canyon, Lee Lingtian stared at the three outer sect disciples who were Tier Six Warriors. Shangguan Linger seemed to be under a spell as her eyes were blank as if she did not recognize Li Lingtian and the rest.

“Li Lingtian, you’ve entered the Life or Death Canyon. Today’s the day you die.”

Then out came two youths who were not far from Shangguan Linger, and Li Lingtian could recognize one of them. It was Lan Hai who he had crippled while the other was not a familiar face. However, he defected a slight chill from that person’s life force. This person was a Tier Nine peak Warrior, a step away from becoming a Warrior Spirit. In other words, he had one foot in the Warrior Spirit state.

“Did you see us enter the Life or Death Canyon?”

Xue Da shouted. In a flash, he distanced himself from the scarlet boundary line, and Chen Yun retreated too. Fights were forbidden as long as they did not exceed the Life or Death Canyon’s red border.

“Senior Brother Li, come out quickly.”

Xue Da and Chen Yun warned Li Lingtian in a panic but Li Lingtian calmly laid his eyes on the young man beside Lan Hai. They would not be able to do anything to him if he left but they would not let Shangguan Linger go as well.

“Let her go and I’ll enter the Life or Death Canyon.”

Upon saying this, Li Lingtian walked step by step into the canyon and drew nearer to Shangguan Linger. Stimulating his Divine Mindfulness, he found that Shangguan Linger was temporarily under the control of a Soul Spell.

“A good-for-nothing sure has balls, but don’t think for a second that any of you will be able to leave this place.”

Lan Binhui let out a sinister smile as he watched Li Lingtian set his foot in. After all, he was just a Tier Five Warrior. It was well worth the exchange of a Blue Fleecing Fruit for the lives of several lowly disciples.

With that, violent force surged and immediately, two noises were heard coming from the back of Li Lingtian. Chen Yun and Xue Da were knocked off their feet which caused them to fall inside the Life or Death Canyon.

At this point, many disciples had encircled outside the Life or Death Canyon to take a peek inside. They grieved for Li Lingtian’s group.

“Aren’t the two Tier Five and one Tier Six Warriors throwing their lives away by going into the Life or Death Canyon?”

“Getting in Yang Tianchen’s hair is asking for a death wish.”

“Isn’t that Senior Brother Lan Binhui who placed sixth in the outer sect?”

“They’re done for. Senior Brother Lan Binhui’s a Tier Nine peak Warrior and he has cultivated an Amber Tier superior Golden Palm Ablaze. There are less than five people among Warriors who could triumph over him.”

“I’ll be happy if I have his cultivation level.”

The many disciples who had recognized Lan Binhui were discussing in great lengths over the man. Lan Binhui was a known figure in the outer sect and as a Tier Nine peak Warrior, such that even an ordinary Warrior Spirit may not be able to beat him.

Upon hearing that so many were envious of him, Lan Binhui was walking on air. Placing sixth in the outer sect had basically guaranteed him a spot in the inner sect.

“What a pity. All that cultivation fed to a dog.”

Shooting a cold stare at Lan Hai and Yang Tianchen, Li Lingtian paraded towards them as if he was taking a stroll in a park, unaware of the danger that was lurking.

“Huh? He has guts.”

“A Tier Five Warrior blatantly challenging Senior Brother Lan Binhui’s authority? Let’s see him get it.”

Excitement bubbled over countless Warriors as they watched Li Lingtian walk towards Lan Binhui and humiliating him without fear. To them, Li Lingtian was a dead man.

“Just know one thing, I’ll torture you to death.” Lan Binhui paused before his face stiffened. As one who had always been on high ground, he had never thought he would be insulted by a low-tiered Warrior in front of many disciples.

“So you’re trying to make your presence known by blabbing on. Are you going to die if you don’t toot your horn?”

Calmly and with a faint smile, Li Lingtian made his way forward until he was only five yards away from Lan Binhui. Then, his sharp eyes swept past Lan Hai and three other three Warriors.

“Hahaha.”

Li Lingtian’s words had caused the disciples around to roar in laughter. A Tier Five Warrior was giving the sixth-ranked genius disciple a slap in the face.

However, at the look of Lan Binhui who was about to lose his mind, they immediately stopped. It would be the end of them if they were caught by Lan Binhui.

During that time, Xue Da and Chen Yun approached Li Lingtian from behind while they glared straight at Yang Tianchen.

“Fine, let her go and we’ll settle this later.”

Lan Binhui’s feathers were ruffled to see Li Lingtian remain level-headed. Sullen, he was itching to break Li Lingtian into pieces but he did not want to lose face in front of many Warriors. Hence, he pretended to wave his hand in a poised manner.

The two Tier Six Warriors put their arms out and pushed Shangguan Linger towards Li Lingtian. Before she hit the ground, Li Lingtian scooped his arm out to catch Shangguan Linger.

“Swoosh, swoosh.”

Two gentle forces were then pressed onto Shangguan Linger’s body as Li Lingtian stirred his Divine Mindfulness into Shangguan Linger’s Knowledge Sea. With that, the spell was broken.

“Huh? Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Xue, Senior Brother Chen, where are we?”

Shangguan Linger asked in puzzlement when she had regained consciousness to see Li Lingtian and the rest. She had no idea what had happened.

“You two, look after her. I’ll deal with these bunch of pestering flies.”

Li Lingtian smiled after he had confirmed Shangguan Linger’s wellbeing. He had Xue Da and Chen Yun take care of her before he coldly turned his attention to Lan Binhui. A Tier Nine peak Warrior should not be underestimated.

“How arrogant!”

“What a pompous!”

“It’ll be a waste not to act conceited before death. Haha.”

Many disciples watched Li Lingtian with their jaws dropped. How could this Warrior disciple display such arrogance?

“Die.”

“Golden Palm Ablaze, die.”

Unable to hold back any further, Lan Binhui circulated True Qi throughout his body before suddenly, a violent aura was spread within a 55-yard radius. The disciples who were within a close range could sense a suppressing pressure from the tormenting gust.

“Thump thump.”

“Thump thump.”

Xue Da, Chen Yun, Shangguan Linger, including Lan Hai’s team had to retreat before this force. Their pale faces said it all.

“A Tier Nine peak Warrior indeed. Senior Brother Lan Binhui lives up to his title as the sixth genius.”

“Yes, the vigor alone cannot be handled by any Warrior.”

Astonished and envious at Lan Binhui’s display of vigor, the disciples afar paid no notice to Lan Binhui’s opponent, Li Lingtian who maintained at his calmness with a smile on his face.

“I see you have a memory of a goldfish, will you die if you don’t speak?

“Flaming Divine Fist.”

Li Lingtian had long been on his guard. This Tier Nine Warrior did present great vigor, such that even Tier Nine peak Warrior, let alone a Tier Five or any other Warriors, would not be able to withstand this vigor.

However, Li Lingtian was not any other Warrior. With the Fire Dragon’s Heart in him, the might of a Fire Dragon had spread out from within his Flaming True Qi as protection over him.

Suddenly, a ghastly flaming aura burst open and rolled towards Lan Binhui like a Fire Dragon.

“Pft tch.”

“Kabooom.”

The destructive vigor crumbled over Lan Binhui. No one could defeat Li Lingtian in terms of vigor with Heaven and Earth Reincarnation, Fire Dragon’s Heart, and Immemorial Ice Crystal in possession.

Faced with Li Lingtian’s vigor, Lan Binhui was trembling as if he was about to die. In his eyes, Lan Binhui could see an ancient Fire Dragon devouring him. Moreover, the blow to the heart and mind had caused his vigor to break down.

As he spat out a mouthful of blood, the Golden Palm Ablaze and Flaming Divine came into contact. The impact then threw Lan Binhui’s body back like a line-broken kite.

At this moment, it was pin-drop silent in the Life or Death Canyon. Gobsmacked, the disciples could not believe their eyes. The powerful Lan Binhui was defeated by a Tier Five Warrior.

Only those Warriors with solid foundation could sense the fierce vigor that came from Li Lingtian; it was terrifying.

“Die, die, die.”

Without a moment’s pause, Li Lingtian circulated his Breeze Technique to swerve his way around like the wind while he pulled his Flaming Divine Fist around. Grunt after grunt following screams were heard.

The four Warriors by Lan Binhui were immediately taken out and burned to crisp by the Flaming Divine Fist — they were far beyond dead.

“Ranked sixth in the outer sect? What trash.”

“Rumble.”

As Li Lingtian stared at Lan Binhui on the ground with disdain, he slammed another fist on him with the force of Flaming Divine Fist. Before Lan Binhui could let out a cry, he was long gone.

“Yang Tianchen, get your *ss over here.”

After killing Lan Binhui and his lackeys, the smile on Li Lingtian’s face became deeper. His cold eyes then turned towards the trembling Yan Tianchen who had tested his limit and crossed the line. Since coming to this world, he finally had a few friends yet Yan Tianchen dared to threaten him with his friends. Naturally, he was knocking on death’s door.

The fact that they were still Sky Cloud Sect was at the back of his mind, but it did not matter anyway as, after all, life or death was not accounted for in Life or Death Canyon.

“Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Li, it… it’s a mis… misunderstanding.”

Frightened out his wits, Yang Tianchen quivered at the shock that was brought about by Li Lingtian. Sensing the befalling of death, Yang Tianchen fell onto his knees without an ounce of self-respect.

Shock, stunned, and fear were written all over the disciples’ faces.

Who would have thought that a Tier Five Warrior could defeat Lan Binhui in an instant, eliminate a handful of Tier Six Warriors, and force Yan Tianchen to his knees?

“Misunderstanding, my *ss. You’re dead meat.”

Li Lingtian thrust a fist of flames towards Yan Tianchen. The air was set ablaze following his swift motion that appeared before Yan Tianchen in no time.

At this moment, a powerful energy warded off in front of Yang Tianchen. It was a violent Metal-path energy.
