Chapter 3577 - Swordsman Chu, the Nine Star God of War

Most of the members of the Given Alliance did not think Duan Ling Tian had a death wish. They were sure he would not have shown up if he was not strong enough.

Duan Ling Tian continued hovering calmly in front of the entrance of the Given Alliance base with his hands on his back.

As time passed, more and more people gathered outside the entrance of the Given Alliance.

Some members of the alliance even came out to have a look.

“He’s Duan Ling Tian?”

“He seems young, but is he really younger than 700 years old?”

“Of course. It’s been verified multiple times by various parties.”

Duan Ling Tian was not bothered by the crowd and the attention directed at him. After all, he was the only true disciple of legendary Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang of the Solitary Destructive Heaven; he was the winner of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses who displayed the strength of a Seven Star God of War at that time. He had gotten used to being the center of attention.

Moreover, after entering the Nine Serenities Battlefield, he had made a name for himself after killing Wu Long, replacing Wu Long as the strongest Eight Star God of War in the Nine Serenities Battlefield.

The Given Alliance had been searching for Duan Ling Tian everywhere but to no avail. No one expected him to show up on his own accord.

“It seems like it’s true that Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple is highly talented. For him to come here, he must have had a breakthrough and became a Nine Star God of War!”

More and more people gathered at the entrance of the Given Alliance base to watch the show as news spread about Duan Ling Tian’s arrival. Visitors of the alliance who saw this scene quickly informed their friends, causing the news to spread faster and faster.

“Duan Ling Tian is definitely not here to have a friendly chat. I wonder if Duan Ling Tian or Ji Ying is stronger?”

“Look! More and more people are coming! I wonder if the other Nine Star Gods of War in the central region will come over to watch the show as well…”

“Of course, they will! However, it remains to be seen if they’ll arrive in time to watch the show.”

The crowd whispered among themselves as they watched Duan Ling Tian from afar.

At the same time, the number of people continued to increase.

The group of onlookers discussed among themselves as they watched Duan Ling Tian from afar. The number of people was still increasing non-stop.

“Look! Qin Zhen Yi, the second Guardian of the Heaven’s Inception Alliance is here!”

Many people shifted their eyes to an old man dressed in a long gray robe as soon as they heard these words.

The Heaven’s Inception Alliance was a well-known alliance that was on par with the Given Alliance in the central region. They were the strongest alliance in the Third Central Region. The Leader of the Heaven’s Inception Alliance was also a Nine Star God of War. Their second Guardian, Qin Zhen Yi, was an Eight Star God of War who had been in the Nine Serenities Battlefield for a long time was rather famous as well.

People who recognized Qin Zhen Yi came up to greet him one after another.

“Guardian Qin, you came to watch the show as well?”

“Guardian Qin, who do you think will win today’s battle? Duan Ling Tian or Leader Ji Ying of the Given Alliance?”

Many of Qin Zhen Yi’s acquaintances were keen to know his opinion. However, he only smiled faintly and said, “It’s difficult to tell. Let’s just watch and see what happens…”

Following Qin Zhen Yi’s arrival, a few famous Eight Star Gods of War in the central region began to show up as well, attracting a lot of attention. Most of them were in the vicinity when they heard the news so they decided to come over.

News of Duan Ling Tian had spread rather far. Some people who were too far away did not bother going to the Given Alliance base. Nonetheless, they were still waiting excitedly for the result of the impending battle.

Everyone was curious about who was stronger: Duan Ling Tian; the only true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, or Ji Ying; the first true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Given Heaven.

“Duan Ling Tian must be confident he’ll win since he dares to show up. Ji Ying will likely lose if they engage in a battle.”

Many people were of the opinion that Duan Ling Tian would win.

“Why hasn’t Ji Ying come out?”

After a moment, many discovered that many of the members of the Given Heaven Alliance had come outside, but Ji Ying, their leader, had yet to make an appearance.

“Is he afraid?”

“If he chickens out, not only will he embarrass himself and the Given Alliance, but he’ll be embarrassing his master, the Heavenly Emperor of the Given as well!”

When they were discussing the Given Alliance, the people lowered their voices even more. After all, the members of the Given Alliance were present.

All of a sudden, a thunderous voice rang in the air, catching everyone’s attention.

“Fortunately, I’m not late!”

Soon enough, a muscular old dressed in a long green robe descended from the sky. A diamond-shaped mark could be seen on his glabella, and he held a sheathed narrow knife in his hand. His unkempt white hair fluttered in the wind as he descended.

“I-isn’t that Swordsman Chu?” someone exclaimed.

“Swordsman Chu?”

The crowds’ gazes changed immediately.

Swordsman Chu did not belong to any alliances and preferred to keep to himself. No one knew his name or background outside of the Nine Serenities Battlefield. He was famous in the central region because he was a Nine Star God of War.

“Greetings, Senior Chu!” Qin Zhen Yi bowed and greeted the swordsman.

The other prominent Eight Star Gods of War followed suit and greeted the swordsman with a bow as well.

Even those who did not know who the swordsman was knew he had to be a Nine Star God of War for the prominent Eight Star Gods of War to be so respectful.

Swordsman Chu nodded in response. “Don’t mind me. I was in the vicinity when I heard something exciting is going on here.” Then, he shifted his eyes to Duan Ling Tian and asked, “So that’s Duan Ling Tian, the only true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven?”

“Yes, Senior Chu,” Qin Zhen Yi replied respectfully.

“What a fine-looking young man!” Swordsman Chu nodded. “I wonder if he’s really strong or if he’s just reckless…”

At this moment…

“Leader Ji Ying is here!”

Everyone shifted their attention away from Swordsman Chu immediately.

At this moment, two people surrounded by about a dozen people walked out of the entrance of the Given Alliance base.

“Leader Ji Ying is finally here!”

Most people recognized one of the two people walking in the lead immediately.

“Who’s that standing next to Leader Ji Ying? Did a new powerhouse join the Given Alliance?”

For that person to be standing shoulder to shoulder with Ji Ying, everyone knew he had to be extraordinary. In the past, only Wu Long had the privilege of doing so. Naturally, they were curious about this person’s identity.

After a moment, someone cried out, “Heavens! Isn’t he Yue Chao Qun, the Temple Master of the Title Temple branch in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven? He hasn’t entered the Nine Serenities Battlefield in a long time so why did he suddenly return?”

That person next to Ji Ying is Yue Chao Qun?”

“Yue Chao Qun? He’s been a Nine Star God of War for a long time now!”

“Why is he with Ji Ying? Did Ji Ying invite him here to deal with Duan Ling Tian?”

“I doubt it! Ji Ying doesn’t have that kind of influence. In my opinion, Heavenly Emperor Ji You must have asked for a favor from the Title Temple so the Title Temple sent Yue Chao Qun here.”

“Things aren’t looking good for Duan Ling Tian if Yue Chao Qun is here to help Ji Ying!”

The crowd looked at Duan Ling Tian sympathetically when they found out the person standing next to Ji Ying was the Temple Master of a Title Temple branch.

Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian heard the whispers in his surroundings. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his lips curled up into a sneer as he thought to himself, ‘The Temple Master of the Title Temple branch in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven? The Title Temple is really efficient. Not only did they send Mi Xuan, but they even sent another Nine Star God of War here. We’ll see if he’s stronger than Mi Xuan.’

Instead of being frightened, Duan Ling Tian’s fighting spirit soared. He did not waste time and teleported in front of Ji Ying and Yue Chao Qun.

“Duan Ling Tian?” Ji Ying raised an eyebrow. This was his first time meeting Duan Ling Tian; he had only seen a portrait of him. When he saw how composed Duan Ling Tian was, an ominous feeling rose in his heart. Following that, he sent a Voice Transmission to Swordsman Chu. “Senior Chu, I’d like to invite you to join forces with me and Branch Temple Master Yue to defeat Duan Ling Tian. I’ll definitely get my master to reward you handsomely if you accept my invitation.”

Ji Ying had always been very cautious. Even if he knew there was a chance Duan Ling Tian might not be as strong as he seemed, he did not want to risk it. He wanted extra help so he could secure his victory. Hence, he decided to ask Swordsman Chu to help him.

Upon hearing Ji Ying’s words, Swordsman Chu’s eyes shone with greed immediately..
