Duan Ling Tian Spits Out a Flying Sword

In Liu Jian's opinion, Duan Ling Tian would definitely surrender if he unleashed all his strength from the beginning. If he killed Duan Ling Tian after Duan Ling Tian had surrendered, he would be punished by the Heavenly Pool Palace. With his status in the Heavenly Pool Palace, he might even be sentenced to death. Although he was a prodigious disciple in the palace, he was ranked at the bottom among the 100 prodigious disciples in the Heavenly Pool Palace. It would be impossible for the Heavenly Pool Palace to spare his life due to his low status. Therefore, he had hidden his true strength and waited for the opportunity to strike with all his might to kill Duan Ling Tian when the opportunity presented itself.

…

Most of the disciples who were watching could tell Liu Jian was holding back his strength.

"Duan Ling Tian is quite strong…"

"Even then, it's obvious Senior Brother Liu Jian is holding back his strength. He should be stronger than this, right?"
