"You want me to get out of y-your sight in the span of t-three breaths?" Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's loud and confident threat, like the other Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples, Niu Kong was momentarily stunned. When he regained his senses, he looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he had just seen a ghost.
For a moment, he even thought he had heard wrongly. That was why he had asked again to make sure he had heard correctly.
At the same time, the other Four Symbols Sanctum's disciples had also regained their senses and burst into a commotion. Similar to Niu Kong, they looked at Duan Ling Tian as though they had seen a ghost.
"I didn't hear wrongly, right? This new disciple is threatening Senior Brother Niu Kong?"
"H-He actually wants Niu Kong to get out of his sight?"
"Is he crazy?"
The Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples discussed among themselves. All of them felt this newcomer was too arrogant.
Those who were arrogant in the Punishment Zone usually did not live a good life unless they were strong.
However, no matter how they looked at it, they did not think this newcomer was powerful. At the very least, they did not think he was stronger than Niu Kong.
Upon hearing the discussions in the surroundings, Niu Kong knew he did not hear wrongly. The newcomer had really threatened him.
"Lad, you're seeking death!" Niu Kong was enraged. His eyes burned angrily as Saint Energy surged out from his body like an angry dragon.
"I've given you a chance…" Duan Ling Tian said indifferently again, "The span of three breaths is up!"
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The moment Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, his Sun Saint Energy that had long been acc.u.mulated burst out of his back, transforming into a pair of wings that seemed to burn with a scorching flame. It was visually impactful.
In the next second, he flapped his wings suddenly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
All of a sudden, the sound of air explosions rang in the air. It was caused by the Golden Crow's Wings on Duan Ling Tian's back.
Naturally, such a huge commotion shocked many of the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples.
Swoos.h.!.+
Almost at the same time, Duan Ling Tian who had cast the high-grade movement Divine Ability, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have transformed into a cannonball as he charged toward Niu Kong at a ridiculously fast speed.
"SH*T!" Niu Kong finally regained his senses the moment Duan Ling Tian cast his movement Divine Ability and charged at him. His heart jolted as horror dawned on him.
At this moment, he finally realized the reason why the newcomer had dared to act so arrogantly. It was because he was strong!
Since Niu Kong had acc.u.mulated his Saint Energy beforehand, he instantly mobilized his Saint Energy and cast a movement martial tactic in an attempt to avoid Duan Ling Tian who was charging at him.
Although Niu Kong's cultivation base had already broken through to the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage, he had yet to master any movement Divine Abilities that was at the medium-grade or above.

It was only natural since if he had mastered a medium-grade or above movement Divine Ability, with his cultivation base at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, would it not be easy for him to s.n.a.t.c.h an extrlarge wicker basket in the Punishment Zone? Would he need to s.n.a.t.c.h it from a newcomer?
"You're too slow!" Duan Ling Tian's cold words sent a jolt straight to Niu Kong's heart.
In the next instant, as Niu Kong was trying to avoid Duan Ling Tian, the Golden Crow's Wings suddenly flapped again. His speed turned even faster.
In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian had appeared next to Niu Kong.
Boom!
Duan Ling Tian casually pushed his hand that contained the vast Sun Saint Energy out. A dazzling golden light appeared and shrouded Niu Kong.
Although Niu Kong had cast a defensive martial tactic, it was full of weak spots since he was unprepared. It was easily crushed by the Sun Saint Energy from Duan Ling Tian's palm.
Bang!
As a loud sound reverberated, Niu Kong's body shook and was sent flying backward immediately. He crashed onto the ground and continued to slide back violently. He was throwing up blood as well. The ground was covered in blood, presenting a ghastly sight.
This scene scared the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples as well. All of them gasped in fright.
Niu Kong, a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, could not even strike back in front of this newcomer and was severely injured with just a blow.
"I'll give you a chance! Get out of my sight in the span of three breaths. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
Duan Ling Tian's threat suddenly appeared in their minds. Although the words were the same, the feeling was completely different.
Before the fight, they felt this newcomer was arrogant and had overestimated his own strength. However, when they saw the newcomer had severely injured Niu Kong in just one blow, they realized how strong he was. He did not overestimate himself at all.
"Which Sanctum is this newcomer from?" Soon after, the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples s.h.i.+fted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian.
Based on his strength, he was definitely at the Quintessential Saint Stage!
The Quintessential Saint Stage disciples were all well-known in the four Sanctums.
Although the people here were a mix of people from the four Sanctums, none of the recognize this newcomer at all.
"Don't tell me he's a new disciple who has just entered the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect but has already committed a crime and is sent to the First Mine?" Many of the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples made their own a.s.sumptions.
"You only have this bit of power, and yet you wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h my thing?" Duan Ling Tian looked at Niu Kong coldly. Currently, Niu Kong looked wretched. Colors drained from his face when he saw Duan Ling Tian's cold gaze.
He instantly apologized profusely, "I failed to recognize a great person, Senior Brother, please forgive me!" He had apologized because he was afraid Duan Ling Tian would attack again.
Although the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect forbade disciples from killing one another, it was okay to fight as long as they did not kill or maim.
Duan Ling Tian's anger dissipated a lot when he saw how cowardly Niu Kong was. He asked coldly, "Didn't you say you're going to teach me a lesson earlier?"
"I don't dare! I don't dare!" Niu Kong quickly lowered his head. He did not dare to look at Duan Ling Tian in fear of making him angry.
"Hurmph!" After Duan Ling Tian snorted, he no longer bothered with Niu Kong. Instead, he followed the tunnel and walked deeper inside.
Duan Ling Tian felt it was not unreasonable for Niu Kong to try and s.n.a.t.c.h his extrlarge wicker basket once he found out what a rare commodity it was in the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine.
However, Niu Kong was just unlucky for picking on someone stronger than him. Otherwise, his extrlarge wicker basket would belong to Niu Kong now.
From the beginning until the end, Niu Kong merely intended to s.n.a.t.c.h his extrlarge wicker basket and did not intend to kill him. Since s.n.a.t.c.hing an extrlarge wicker basket was common in the Punishment Zone, Duan Ling Tian no longer bothered with him.never had the intention to kill him.
When Duan Ling Tian was around, the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples did not even dare to breathe. Now that Duan Ling Tian's figure is getting further and further away, they sighed in relief. At the same time, they begin to discuss among themselves.
"Who's he? With his strength, he has to be a Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse! I'm a White Tiger Sanctum's disciple, and I've seen such a powerful person in our White Tiger Sanctum before I was banished to the First Mine!"
"I'm from the Azure Dragon Sanctum, and I've also never seen such a strong person in our Sanctum!"
"I'm from the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, and I've also never seen someone like that in our Sanctum!"
"I'm from the Black Turtle Sanctum, and just like all of you, I don't know him at all!"
They were all puzzling over Duan Ling Tian's ident.i.ty.
"His wings of flames must be a very powerful movement Divine Ability!" A Four Symbols Sanctum's disciple s.h.i.+fted the topic to the high-grade movement Divine Ability, the Golden Crow's Wings, that Duan Ling Tian had cast earlier. He sounded shocked.
"I've never seen such movement Divine Ability before! Heck, I haven't even heard about it before. However, I feel like it's not inferior to the treasured movement Divine Ability in our Vermilion Bird Sanctum. Not only that, but the visual impact is even more powerful than the treasured movement Divine Ability in our Vermilion Bird Sanctum!"
"That's right! The movement Divine Ability he cast is just too powerful! The wings look as though it had grown from his body! It didn't look out of place at all!"
"I agree!"
The group of Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples was in awe over Duan Ling Tian's movement Divine Ability.
"I remember now!" Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out and overpowered everybody's voice, effectively attracting everyone's attention.
The person who had cried out loudly was skinny and small.
He looked like a thief with his small, s.h.i.+fty eyes. With just a glance, one could tell he was not a good person.
"Have you guys forgotten?" When this Four Symbols Sanctums' disciple saw everyone's attention was on him, he said excitedly, "There's one Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple who has recently been sentenced to the First Mine's Punishment Zone. Didn't we just speak about him before this? Not only that, but among the three high-grade Divine Abilities mastered by that Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple, isn't one of them a high-grade movement Divine Ability that allows him to grow a pair of wings?"
Upon hearing this Four Symbols Sanctums' disciple's words, everyone's eyes widened immediately.
Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!
Their gasps echoed in the underground mining cave tunnel before everyone fell silent.
