Chapter 3981: Fighting Wanqi Hong
At the venue of the Trading Conference in Seven Kills Valley.
Above the huge stone platform in the middle of the valley.
Two young men, Duan Ling Tian and Wanqi Hong, stood across from each other.
Wanqi Hong sneered. “Duan Ling Tian, you probably didn’t think you’d have to fight me, right? Although you look rather calm, I’m sure you’re feeling regretful inside. Even if you’re able to bring out 100 king-grade Limit Divine Pills, I’m sure it must have taken you a lot of time to refine them. It’s a pity that your hard work would go to waste since the 100 king-grade Limit Divine Pills will belong to me soon.”
Wanqi Hong was very confident when faced with Duan Ling Tian. It was as though he was facing an already-defeated opponent.
Duan Ling Tian only chuckled and said, “It won’t be so easy for you to get your hands on the 100 king-grade Limit Divine Pills. You better think about it carefully. If you lose your great-great-grandfather’s prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul, how are you going to explain yourself to him?”
At this time, Duan Ling Tian no longer looked uneasy or nervous. His expression was very calm as he hovered in the air. His purple robe fluttered in the air as he stood with his hands on his back. His posture seemed like that of a victor. His confidence was no less than that of Wanqi Hong.
This did not go unnoticed by the crowd.
“Why is the Pure Yang Sect’s Duan Ling Tian suddenly so confident?”
“Is he really confident?”
“If he really wins, the Wanqi clan is going to vomit blood out of anger!”
“It’s not just vomiting blood. The Wanqi clan will be devastated as well.”
Most of the people who were whispering among themselves were from the Seven Kills Valley, the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, and the Dragon Martial Divine Sect.
As the forces involved, those from the Pure Yang Sect and the Wanqi clan were staring intently at the two figures in the sky.
The Pure Yang Sect members had already calmed down at this moment. After all, even if Duan Ling Tian lost, he would only lose 100 king-grade Limit Divine Pills. There were also a few who were concerned about Duan Ling Tian’s safety.
As for Lan Xi Lin, from the Pure Yang Sect’s Zheng Ming faction, he was naturally not one of those who were concerned about Duan Ling Tian. On the contrary, he wished that Duan Ling Tian would be defeated. He thought to himself spitefully, ‘That idiot really thinks he can defeat someone with a higher cultivation base just because he killed two intermediate Lords of Gods when he was a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Can those two pieces of trash he defeated be compared to Wanqi Hong? Wanqi Hong was also capable of such a feat when he was a rudimentary Lord of Gods! He’s still trying so hard to put on an act! How ridiculous! I can’t wait to see him humiliated later!’
Lan Xi Lin was rather certain that Duan Ling Tian was going to be defeated even if Duan Ling Tian was a prodigy of the Pure Yang Sect. He felt that no one in the younger generation under 10,000 years old in the Eastern Ridge Mansion was a match for the Wanqi clan’s Wanqi Hong. His mood soured slightly when he remembered that Duan Ling Tian was not even 3,000 years ago. It was likely that Duan Ling Tian would be much stronger than Wanqi Hong now when Duan Ling Tian was Wanqi Hong’s age.
Meanwhile, Wanqi Jue, who was standing in front of the group of people from the Wanqi clan, looked at Duan Ling Tian solemnly. Since earlier, he had been paying close attention to Duan Ling Tian’s expressions and movements.For this reason, he dared to bet with his prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul. However, at this moment, an ominous feeling rose in his heart when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s calm expression that was unlike the ones before.
‘No, it’s impossible. He has just become an intermediate Lord of Gods two years ago. How can he defeat Hong’er?’ Wanqi Jue thought to himself, reassuring himself. Outwardly, he still looked calm. No emotions could be seen on his face at all.
…
Back in the sky.
“Duan Ling Tian, don’t talk so much nonsense. Let’s see who’ll get the last laugh,” Wanqi Hong said, taking the initiative to strike first.
As Wanqi Hong charged toward Duan Ling Tian, lightning bolts flashed around him. When he was halfway there, a seven-foot-long spear appeared in his hand. Following that, the lightning bolts surged into the spear. With that, lightning bolts like dragons flashed on the spear. This was not surprising since he comprehended the law of thunder. Moreover, his comprehension was rather profound.
As soon as Wanqi Hong made a move, Duan Ling Tian already felt pressured. Nonetheless, although Wanqi Hong’s Divine Energy was powerful, there was still a gap between Wanqi Hong’s Divine Energy and that of an advanced Lord of Gods who had stabilized his or her cultivation base. Just as Zhen Ping Fan told him, the gap was not small at all.
Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian was also surprised by Wanqi Hong’s comprehension of the law of thunder. Wanqi Hong’s comprehension was likely more profound than that of all of the Black Dragon Elders in the Flying Dragon Sect.
In the past, before Duan Ling Tian left the Flying Dragon Sect, his comprehension of the law of space was only better than that of the White Dragon Elders and only on par with a few Black Dragon Elders. However, many years had passed since then, and his comprehension of the law of space had also improved. When he cultivated, he did not forget to comprehend the law of space as well. Currently, his comprehension of the law of space was about the same as Wanqi Hong’s comprehension of the law of thunder.
Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian teleported away, promptly dodging the lightning bolt that shot out of Wanqi Hong’s spear. His afterimages were instantly dispelled by the attack.
When the attack exploded, the shockwaves rippled out swiftly. However, Wei Chun Dao, the Valley Master of Seven Kills Valley, easily dealt with them. Hence, the shockwaves did not affect the spectators at all.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wanqi Hong was not upset that Duan Ling Tian managed to dodge his attack, and he did not seem surprised as well. He only continued to charge toward Duan Ling Tian at lightning speed.
“Duan Ling Tian, let’s see how many times you can teleport away from my attacks!”
Lightning flashed around Wanqi Hong, and the spear in his hand looked like a lightning bolt. The long spear was a prominent divine artifact that was forged using precious materials. In the future, after becoming an intermediate Emperor of Gods, it would be easier for his spear to give birth to an artifact soul. Although the material used to forge a prominent divine artifact would affect the speed of it giving birth to an artifact soul, its strength was on par with that of ordinary prominent divine artifacts. Moreover, in the hands of those below the realm of an intermediate Emperor of Gods, it was not much different from an ordinary prominent divine artifact.
“Is this all you got?” Duan Ling Tian did not teleport away this time. Instead, he faced Wanqi Hong, who was rushing toward him. In just a blink of an eye, his doppelganger from the law of space shot out. The two of them wielded a prominent divine sword. Needless to say, it was not the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. With his current strength, it was not yet the time for him to reveal the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger charged out at the same time, clashing with Wanqi Hong. The sword and the spear clashed as bursts of terrifying shockwaves rippled out. The sparks from the collisions looked dazzling from afar.
Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger were on par with Wanqi Hong even though his cultivation base was a realm lower than that of Wanqi Hong. After all, Wanqi Hong had just become an advanced Lord of Gods not too long ago, and his cultivation base had yet to stabilize. It was much less stable than Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base even though Duan Ling Tian had just broken through two years ago. For this reason, the gap between their strengths was not as big as it normally would be between an intermediate and advanced Lords of Gods.
Needless to say, the Emperors of Gods and advanced Lords of Gods present noticed this as well.
“Did Duan Ling Tian really only become an intermediate Lord of Gods two years ago?”
“Based on how stable his cultivation base is, it’s as though he had spent a few decades or a century to stabilize it, right?”
“If he really stabilized his cultivation base to this extent in just two years, then he truly deserves the title ‘prodigy’! Wanqi Hong isn’t a match for him in this aspect at all!”
The members of the Seven Kills Valley, the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, and the Dragon Martial Divine Sect discussed among themselves.
As for the members of the Pure Yang Sect and the Wanqi clan, they were mostly communicating through Voice Transmission.
Not only did Duan Ling Tian’s performance surprise those from the Wanqi clan, but it also surprised those from the Pure Yang Sect. After all, unlike the others, they knew for sure that Duan Ling Tian had only broken through and become an intermediate Lord of Gods two years ago.
As for the Wanqi clan, they doubted Duan Ling Tian had only broken through two years ago.
“D*mn it! Was the news we received fake?”
“Could it be that the Pure Yang Sect deliberately leaked fake news to trick our elder into betting with his prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul?”
“I don’t think so… Moreover, even if Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base is much more stable than expected, there’s still a gap between his cultivation base and Wanqi Hong’s cultivation base. Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian has already used his doppelganger from the law of space while Wanqi Hong has yet to use his bloodline power.”
“If this is the extent of Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he’ll definitely lose.”
“What if he still has hidden abilities?”
“There are rumors that he has comprehended the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao…”
As though the fight was following the general trend of the Voice Transmissions between those few people from the Wanqi clan, the fight that seemed evenly matched gradually began to tilt in Duan Ling Tian’s favor.
The sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand released terrifying sword rays that were further boosted by the spatial storm raging around him. In just a moment, Duan Ling Tian and his doppelganger gained the upper hand.
“He really comprehended the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao!”
Meanwhile, Wanqi Jue sighed in relief upon seeing this. ‘This is likely the extent of Duan Ling Tian’s strength.’
