Chapter 3807: A Nonchalant Voice

As one of the two strongest disciples in the Demon Sect, the last disciple of Sha Zheng Hu, the Sect Leader of the Demon Sect, was naturally arrogant. His expression darkened when he saw his master being injured by Lan Yu Shan for defending him. He looked at Ding Yan pointedly and swore to seek revenge from Ding Yan. As for now, he would vent his anger on his opponent, Duan Ling Tian, who was Ding Yan’s friend.

“You’re no match for me,” Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head.

Although Sha Zheng Hu’s disciple had easily defeated his previous opponents, it was easy for Duan Ling Tian to estimate his strength.

“Preposterous!” Sha Zheng Hu’s disciple cried out angrily as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. His Divine Energy that had been imbued with the law of thunder surged out from his body as he charged toward Duan Ling Tian.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sha Zheng Hu’s disciple wielded a hammer-like weapon, looking like a thunder god descending from the sky.

Lightning bolts struck down fiercely from the sky at Duan Ling Tian.

Faced with the ferocious attacks, Duan Ling Tian remained expressionless as he flashed and reappeared behind Sha Zheng Hu’s disciple before waving his sword.

Whoosh!

A sword cry rang in the air as Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Energy surged out.

Bang!

The hammer and sword collided, causing shockwaves to ripple out into the surroundings and shaking the protective barrier around the battle ring.

Duan Ling Tian’s body trembled slightly when their weapons met while his opponent staggered a few steps back, looking flustered.

…

“Duan Ling Tian’s stronger!”

“How’s that surprising?”

The majority of the crowd did not seem too surprised by the result. After all, based on Duan Ling Tian’s previous performances, they thought it would be easy for him to rank in the top 10, let alone the top 15.

…

“I won’t let you win so easily even if I can’t defeat you!” Sha Zheng Hu’s disciple said. His eyes turned red as he mobilized his bloodline power. Red lightning bolts that looked sinister flashed around his body immediately.

“Duan Ling Tian, here I come!” Sha Zhenghu’s disciple cried out as he lifted his hammer. Clearly, his strength had increased even if it was not by much.

Duan Ling Tian frowned when he saw how stubborn his opponent was despite being at a disadvantage. Hints of impatience could be seen in his eyes. After all, he had shown mercy, but his opponent insisted on embarrassing himself in front of so many people. He sighed impatiently, and his gaze turned frosty as he lifted his hand.

Following that, a spatial storm seemed to rage around his prominent divine sword as Duan Ling Tian cast his law of space.

Swoosh!

An inconspicuous grey sword ray shot toward Sha Zheng Hu’s disciple, easily bypassing the sinister red lightning bolts before it landed on him.

Since Duan Ling Tian did not hold back like before, he aimed his attack at his opponent’s glabella.

At the same time, Sha Zheng Hu, the Sect Leader of the Demon Sect, watched in shock.

Fortunately for Sha Zheng Hu and his disciple, an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect deflected Duan Ling Tian’s fatal attack at the critical moment.

Subsequently…

“Duan Ling Tian wins.”

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised that his attack was so easily deflected. Even if the inner elders of the Flying Dragon Sect were not as strong as the White Dragon Elders or the Black Dragon Elders of the Flying Dragon Sect, they were still Lords of Gods. How could it be difficult for them to deal with the attack of an intermediate King of Gods like him?

‘I’m still too weak. Even a rudimentary Lord of Gods can kill me with two moves.’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly after his fatal attack was deflected. With just a flash, he left the battle ring, leaving his opponent trembling and drenched in cold sweat.

Sha Zheng Hu’s disciple knew he was on the verge of dying earlier. He did not even have time to surrender.

When Duan Ling Tian returned to his seat, Hou Qing Ning asked teasingly, “You did that on purpose to scare him, right?”

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Hou Qing Ning before he said, “What do you mean I did that just to scare him? I couldn’t have withdrawn my attack in time,”

Hou Qing Ning rolled his eyes. He naturally did not believe Duan Ling Tian. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian did not change at all. Just like when they were in the Hidden Fog Academy, Duan Ling Tian was still hiding his strength. He believed that Duan Ling Tian must have at least formed a doppelganger from the law of space for Duan Ling Tian to be so strong. After all, since Duan Ling Tian was not a native of the Realms of Gods, he did not possess a bloodline power since he was not a descendant of a supreme powerhouse. Only natives of Realms of Gods, who were descendants of supreme powerhouses, possessed bloodline powers even if the strength of their powers varied.

Using doppelgangers in a match was not prohibited. If it was prohibited, then the use of bloodline power would be prohibited as well for the sake of fairness.

Although the crowd knew Duan Ling Tian would win, they were still shocked by the speed of his victory. It only took him two moves to defeat his opponent. With this, they felt that he was much stronger than rumored.

At the same time, the 10,000 Devils Sect’s Du Po Jun’s expression darkened. After Duan Ling Tian’s latest performance, he was not confident he would be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian’s opponent, who was quite strong, with two moves. At this moment, the pressure on him grew.

Similar to Du Po Jun, the expressions of the Eastern Oriental Sect’s Hua Tian Du, the 10,000 Flowers Valley’s Lady Seven, and the First Winter Sect’s Ji Wu Changs were dark as well. They had all underestimated Duan Ling Tian’s strength. Although he had defeated his opponents with just a strike previously, they did not think too much of it since his opponents were only weak Kings of Gods. It was impossible to gauge his strength.

On the contrary, the Lords of Gods present on the scene, including Sha Zheng Hu, were not shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s strength; they remained expressionless. After all, they had a better idea of his strength and could tell his performance was only shocking now because his latest opponent was stronger than his previous opponents.

In fact, Sha Zheng Hu knew his disciple would not be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian from the very beginning. However, he did not say anything to his disciple because he wanted his disciple to gain more experience. Even then, he had been furious when he heard Ding Yan say that Duan Ling Tian would be able to defeat his disciples within ten moves. Although it was the truth, it was still irritating to hear it from another person.

Following that, the winners of the remaining matches finished their matches as well. With this, the temporary top 15 participants were determined.

Then, Lan Yu Shan said, “Next, the bottom 15 participants can challenge the top 15 participants. If you’re able to win your challenge and defend your rank, you’ll be among the final top 15 participants.”

Similar to before, those ranked in the bottom 15 places would not recklessly challenge those in the top 15 places unless they were absolutely confident. After all, they would be punished if they lost within 100 moves.

A young man sighed. “I don’t understand why there’s a need for the punishment. Otherwise, I’d be more willing to challenge the others…”

Duan Ling Tian, who overheard these words, knew that the Flying Dragon Sect must have deliberately imposed the punishments to test the participants’ courage and confidence. However, he thought that if one was not confident there was no need to issue a challenge. Following that, he also heard a few people whispering about how they really wanted to issue a challenge but were not confident.

Naturally, despite the punishment, there were a few brave ones who issued a challenge. This included Duan Ling Tian’s previous opponent, the disciple from the Demon Sect. Alas, he still lost the challenge.

It was only noon when the other participants stopped issuing challenges.

In just half a day, the rankings were finalized.

Ding Yan was ranked 28th.

…

Midnight.

In one of the courtyards in the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.

“Duan Ling Tian’s in the top 15,” a deep voice said.

Following that, someone said nonchalantly, “If he ranks in the top 10 tomorrow, kill Linghu Ren Jie.”
