The Against Heaven
Chapter 10: A One-Life Attack



The news of Li Han Tian and Du Yuanguang's fight was deliberately spread by the disciples of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect. This news quickly spread throughout the entire sect.


Du Yuanguang had considerable influence and was popular enough within the sect to reach the Temporary Palace in just five years after he was accepted. Here, he was considered a genius; in the current Heaven Sect, he would be a genius amongst geniuses.


Even the seniors who heard about this challenge were shocked: “Challenging Du Yuanguang?”


Some disciples who had never heard of Li Han Tian were quite interested: “He was the newest disciple of Protector Hua. Although his Golden Wolf Physique had only reached Houtian, it was still a formidable physical type. What is the cultivation of the main disciple of the Heaven Sect right now?”


A disciple mockingly replied: “Ha, Senior Sheng is too worried! The sect was average at best and without experts. Their main disciple was a piece of trash with a mortal physique, a wheel of mortal life, and a palace of mortal destiny. He had only joined the Heaven Sect for two days, so he only had time to practice martial techniques. Even the most basic merit laws avoid it.”


After hearing this news, the seniors who did not know Li Han Tian earlier became even more confused. A martial artist challenging a cultivator? He must be tired of living!


“This is the same as a calf who is not afraid of tigers, it is sad."


Many seniors lost their interest because they believed the fight would end after one move.


Du Yuanguang only needed one swing and everything would be finished.


This news also reached the ears of some section leaders and protectors. They shook their heads while contemplating the implications.


One of the protectors spoke in a aloof and cold manner: “Maybe this is a blessing in disguise, killing a piece of trash is not something to be proud of, but if the foolish juniors of the Heaven Sect want to challenge us, killing a piece of trash is not something to be proud of, then let this be a lesson.”


This comment caused some of the protectors and section leaders to knit their brows. After all, it was still the sect of Immortal Emperors. Currently, he still had an Emperor level cultivation method and, more importantly, the legacy of Immortal Emperor Min Ren. Everyone had been watching the sect like a hungry tiger waiting for the right moment to attack.


Naturally, the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect only needed to deploy their protectors to rob the Emperor merit laws, but the current Demon King had never revealed his thoughts on this topic. This caused the upper echelon to remain silent as well. If the Demon King gave the order, one would immediately leave and destroy the sect without hesitation.


While the upper echelons were still deliberating, Li Han Tian was already standing on the battle stage. Quite a lot of people gathered for this event. They only wanted to see what kind of torture Du Yuanguang would do.


When Du Yuanguang stepped onto the fighting stage, a disciple shouted loudly: “Du Senior, use one slash to chop off his head!”


Others chimed in: “One sword attack was too merciful for him. He dared to insult Senior Li and our sect, so you have to skin him piece by piece.”


A senior opened his mouth: “Death is the only result of insulting our sect. Junior Du, don't be in a hurry. Cut off his hands and feet, but don't kill him. Wait for the Heaven Sect to come and apologize. Let the entire Great Middle Region, not the entire Emperor Realm know the consequences of opposing us.”


On the battle stage, Li Han Tian looked at Du Yuanguang and teased: “Can the disciples of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect only use words? You are good at using words. ”


“Dumb animal, I only need one sword attack to get your head off your body.” Du Yuanguang raised his chin, clearly looking down on his opponent.


Li Han Tian casually replied: “If you want to fight, then fight. Stop wasting so much time!” His left hand held his sword tightly. He lifted it evenly on his chest and pointed the tip towards Du Yuanguang then declared: “Do your step.”


“Mati!” Enraged by Li Han Tian's fearless attitude, Du Yuanguang moved. A sword attack that felt like it could destroy the space around it attacked, it was as fast as lightning. The sharp attack accompanied by boundless fury from Du Yuanguang pounced on Li Han Tian's heart.


Li Han Tian did not take a step back. Instead, he moved forward. With each step he took, the blade in his left hand danced around like a heavenly snake and quickly fended off Du Yuanguang's sword technique.


“Semut ..” Du Yuanguang grinned. However, a moment later while his sword was still lodged in Li Han Tian's left shoulder, his opponent's right hand began to move. In the blink of an eye, even Du Yuanguang did not see Li Han Tian's sword movements.


“Good...” The blades are too fast, they summon a mysterious truth that cannot be compared to anything. No one saw the trajectory of the blades. The disciples of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect cheered loudly when they saw Du Yuanguang's sword connect.


But…


It was also when the sword met Li Han Tian's left shoulder, that Nan Huairen and Protector Mo arrived. Protector Mo saw the sword connect and shouted: “Please lower your sword and release him!”


A moment later, blood started dripping from Du Yuanguang's throat. Suddenly, blood spurted out as Du Yuanguang's body slowly fell to the ground. Li Han Tian mercilessly threw both of his swords using the technique “Double Invisible Knife”.


“Plop ... Plop ..” Du Yuanguang's body was slashed by two blades as they miraculously intersected each other, dividing his body into five pieces before touching the ground. Blood filled the arena.


Du Yuanguang's eyes emitted signs of confusion and regret. He did not understand how he fell. How could he know that Li Han Tian's technique was honed by Immortal Emperor Min Ren himself? Although it could not compare to an Emperor-level merit law, the martial techniques honed by an Immortal Emperor could not be underestimated.


What was even more frightening was how Li Han Tian understood the mysterious truth of this technique. Even since those ancient times, only the emperor and Li Han Tian had fully grasped the principles behind this technique. At this level, his technique could even kill a Royal Noble.


Du Yuanguang got into the match while underestimating his opponent, so he did not prepare any defense. There was no way he could dodge the incomparable attack. Li Han Tian swapped his left shoulder to make this move.


Right now, the entire battle stage was completely silent. The jokes and laughter disappeared. It seems like time itself is frozen.


Nan Huairen's jaw fell to the floor. He rushed here to save Li Han Tian. Even in his wildest dreams he did not expect Li Han Tian to only need one slash to kill his opponent.


Li Han Tian slowly removed the magic sword from his shoulder. The sound of the sword scratching his bones shrieked softly, but Li Han Tian showed no signs of pain. After all, he had suffered much worse in the past. He threw out the sword and stepped out of the ring. He then glanced at the crowd and, with a sad and regretful expression, murmured: “It looks like my sword technique is still missing something. I have to trade punches and injure myself .. “


Recalling what had just happened, Nan Huairen's jaw was still hugging the floor. It was no wonder that it sprained after being agape for so long. One blade to kill a cultivator and he pretended to be sad? This man is shameless!


As for the disciples of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect, their souls had yet to return to their bodies. Du Yuanguang was a genius among his peers, but he was instantly mutilated by his opponent!


Protector Mo was the first to regain his composure. He immediately covered Li Han Tian's wounds to stop the blood flow and seriously said: “Back now.”


He carried Li Han Tian and left the arena with Nan Huairen right behind them.


After calming Li Han Tian down, Protector Mo simply sat there aimlessly. Right now, he had no time to think about how Li Han Tian killed Du Yuanguang. He was devastated because he knew the consequences of killing a disciple of the Nine Heavenly Gate Sect. It's a big disaster.


Nan Huairen, on the other hand, was treating Li Han Tian's wounds with a special silver paste. Next, he applied a bandage around the shoulder. All the time, he wondered about what was happening.


“How could a martial technique kill a Temporary Palace expert?” He had seen Li Han Tian practice that move before. Although it was admirable, he didn't really care because it was just a martial technique.


“It's just because you don't understand the truth.” Comfortable relaxing in his chair, Li Han Tian was pleased with Nan Huairen's confused expression.
