Chapter 450: A Huge Blunder! The Dragon Slaying Saber Changes Hands!
Just as the power of the Dragon Slaying Saber inexplicably erupted, Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen suddenly sensed a powerful presence rapidly approaching. The two of them simultaneously aimed the Divine Artifacts in their hands toward that presence.
Soon, a black figure rushed out from the dense forest.
This was naturally Di Tian.
Seeing Di Tian appear, Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen immediately moved. One in front and one behind, the two of them trapped him between them and firmly locked onto his aura with the Divine Artifacts in their hands.
Although he was being attacked from both sides, Di Tian did not care. His gaze swept across the scene, first looking wistfully at the Dragon Slaying Saber in Yu Yuanzhen's hand, then turning toward the Thunder God's Hammer in Yu Tianlin's hand. After only a brief moment of thought, he recognized it.
"The Thunder God's Hammer? Are you the inheritor of the God of Thunder?"
Before the war between the Dragon Clan and the Deities erupted back then, Di Tian, as a junior highly regarded by the Dragon God, had met many Deities. Naturally, that included the God of Thunder, so he recognized the Thunder God's Hammer.
"Di Tian? You finally showed up."
Yu Tianlin did not answer Di Tian's question. Instead, he said, "I knew the Dragon Slaying Saber would be able to lure you out. However, since the Dragon Slaying Saber is in our hands today, you are certainly going to die."
In Yu Tianlin's view, the Dragon Slaying Saber could restrain all beings with Dragon Clan bloodline below the Dragon King level. Di Tian was clearly not a Dragon King level being, so he would be severely restrained by the Dragon Slaying Saber.
However, after Yu Tianlin spoke those words, Di Tian suddenly laughed wildly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Hahaha! You want to kill me? You want to use my clan's sacred saber to kill me? This is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life!"
Watching the laughing Di Tian, a sense of foreboding inexplicably flashed through Yu Tianlin's heart. He immediately shouted decisively, "Attack!"
As his voice fell, Yu Tianlin wielded the Thunder God's Hammer, which was entwined with violent lightning, and smashed it toward Di Tian's head.
Yu Yuanzhen's movements were also swift. Incomparably sharp saber Qi erupted, slashing toward Di Tian's waist.
With such terrifying attacks launched one after the other, even if Di Tian's strength was astonishing, he absolutely should not have been able to withstand them safely.
However, to Yu Tianlin's surprise, Di Tian did not make any defensive movements. He merely moved his right golden dragon claw slightly.
Not defending, not dodging.
Is he not afraid of death?
Doubt flashed through Yu Tianlin's heart for an instant, but in the next moment, he understood, and that doubt transformed into shock.
Following the movement of Di Tian's golden dragon claw, the Dragon Slaying Saber in Yu Yuanzhen's hand, which had originally been slashing toward Di Tian's waist, suddenly changed trajectory. It swept upward from below and finally blocked the Thunder God's Hammer above Di Tian's head.
What... what is going on?!
Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen widened their eyes at the same time.
"Let go!"
Just as the two of them were stunned by this sudden change, Di Tian let out a low growl. Terrifying saber Qi immediately erupted from the hilt of the Dragon Slaying Saber, cutting Yu Yuanzhen's hand until it was covered in blood.
Fortunately, Yu Yuanzhen reacted quickly. The moment he sensed danger, he immediately let go of the Dragon Slaying Saber and retreated violently.
Otherwise, even if he possessed a Saint Dragon level Spirit Bone, it would have been useless. His entire palm would likely have been severed, because even a Saint Dragon was inferior to a Dragon King level being and would similarly be severely restrained by the Dragon Slaying Saber.
Yu Yuanzhen let go and retreated, and the Dragon Slaying Saber fell into Di Tian's hand.
Di Tian grinned with extreme satisfaction. His right golden dragon claw seemed to merge with the Dragon Slaying Saber. With a fierce exertion of force, he pushed back the Thunder God's Hammer above his head. Yu Tianlin also took the opportunity to retreat a few steps.
The excellent situation of having two Divine Artifacts attacking from the front and back was instantly broken.
Moreover, one of the Divine Artifacts had actually fallen into Di Tian's hands.
Such a shocking turn of events was difficult for even Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen, with their powerful mental force, to accept. Their expressions became extremely grim.
After somewhat intoxicatedly stroking the back of the Dragon Slaying Saber's blade, Di Tian glanced at the two men whose expressions were grim and chuckled.
"Are you two very surprised by this outcome?"
Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen remained silent.
Perhaps due to the excessive joy of obtaining the Dragon Slaying Saber, Di Tian did not care about their attitude and simply continued speaking to himself.
"Because the sacred saber should have belonged to me in the first place!"
"Back then, after Dragon God Venerable refined the sacred saber using his own dragon horn, he handed it over to Uncle Guangming to wield it as the sacred object of enforcement for our Dragon Clan. However, as time passed, because Uncle Guangming used the sacred saber to execute too many wicked dragons, the entire Light Holy Dragon lineage was more or less met with hostility from several other lineages within the clan."
"To prevent this situation from worsening, Dragon God Venerable finally decided to let the various lineages take turns wielding the sacred saber. Dragon God Venerable even taught me the Dragon God Claw for this reason."
"If nothing unexpected had happened, once I matured, the sacred saber would have been wielded by me. However, the unexpected still occurred..."
Speaking up to this point, a few traces of sadness flashed across Di Tian's eyes.
The unexpected event he spoke of was naturally the Dragon God War.
"But it doesn't matter."
Since the Dragon God War had already passed so many years ago, although Di Tian was somewhat sad, he did not dwell on that emotion and continued, "It is also fate playing tricks. You actually brought the sacred saber here, and it ultimately fell into my hands. I really should thank you."
"Now you understand, right? Dragon God Venerable specifically taught me the Dragon God Claw to control the sacred saber, so the sacred saber should have been mine all along!"
After hearing Di Tian's entire explanation, Yu Tianlin finally understood the whole story and could not help patting his head in frustration.
This time, he had truly been careless.
He had forgotten that Di Tian possessed the Dragon God Claw, resulting in such a huge blunder.
He had delivered the Dragon Slaying Saber to Di Tian from thousands of miles away!
The reason things had turned out this way was that, in this plan to hunt Di Tian, Yu Tianlin felt that dealing with Di Tian would not be difficult with his and his grandfather's strength. The one truly worth paying attention to was the Silver Dragon King.
Because of that, his attention had been focused on the Silver Dragon King, causing him to subconsciously neglect Di Tian, which led to this situation.
"Since you both understand now, you can die knowing the truth!"
After finishing his explanation, Di Tian's overwhelming joy at obtaining the Dragon Slaying Saber finally subsided. Intense killing intent flashed in his golden eyes.
The Dragon Slaying Saber in his hand seemed to sense its owner's emotions, releasing sharp saber Qi in response as it charged straight toward Yu Tianlin.
Fortunately, just like before, under the aura of the Dragon Slaying Saber, the Water and Fire Dragon King Spirit Bones within Yu Tianlin automatically helped him isolate this negative influence.
The Dragon Slaying Saber could only restrain dragons below the Dragon King level.
For a Dragon King level being, it was merely an ordinary Divine Artifact and lacked its restraining effect.
Therefore, with the help of the two Water and Fire Dragon King Spirit Bones, Yu Tianlin did not need to worry about any problems.
