Chapter 4053: Sudden Reversal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luo Yuan sighed inwardly as he said sincerely, “That’s a matter of course. I won’t dig my own grave. If we fight with all our might now, the other participants I’ll only give the other participants a chance to take advantage of the situation. You’ve seen how strong Yuan Mo Yu and Tuo Ba Xiu are. If either one of us is injured and can’t recover in time, we won’t be able to deal with them and will lose our chance to rank in the top three.”

Han Di’s expression eased after listening to Luo Yuan. He said, “I didn’t mean to offend. I was only worried you’d renege on our promise during the critical moment and attack me. This is our first time cooperating, after all. If you were Duan Ling Tian, I wouldn’t say those words since we’ve cooperated before.”

Luo Yuan naturally did not take offense. It was only normal for Han Di to feel suspicious. It was not that he trusted Han Di without any qualms as well. He only trusted Han Di since there was no problem with Han Di and Duan Ling Tian’s cooperation. Nonetheless, it did not mean he had completely let his guard down. It would be foolish to do so.

After speaking to Han Di, Luo Yuan sent a Voice Transmission to his elder from the Autumn Sect Leaves.

The elders from the Divine Morning Mansion were naturally pleased that Luo Yuan agreed to the proposal. After all, they did not want Luo Yuan to take the risk and affect his chances of ranking in the top three. He was their only hope to obtain slots to enter the Secret Holy Realm after all, and they needed three slots. Previously, they had high hopes about Luo Yuan ranking first in the Seven Mansions Feast. However, after the appearances of so many hidden prodigies, they felt it was enough as long as he ranked in the top three. It would be a bonus if he ranked first.

The elder from the Autumn Leaves Sect also conveyed the intention of the others from the top forces in Divine Morning Mansion.

“Don’t try to ambush Han Di. He won’t let his guard down anyway. Just cooperate with him like Duan Ling Tian did. If you feel like he’s no match for you, tell him to surrender. If he refuses, fight with him. If both of you are on par with each other, convince him to end the fight in a draw. If you’re no match for him, surrender. You’ll still rank third. If you’re no match for him, then you’re certainly no match for Duan Ling Tian. As such, you should just focus on maintaining your position in third place. Tuo Ba Xiu and Yuan Mo Yu are both injured now, and it won’t be easy for them to fully recover in such a short time. If you maintain your peak condition, it’ll be easy for you to deal with them.”

Since this was the intention of three top forces in the Divine Morning Mansion that invested heavily in him, Luo Yuan naturally acquiesced to their suggestion.

At this time, Lin Dong Lai said, “Gentlemen, you may begin when you’re ready.”

Duan Ling Tian and the others watched the battlefield. They had high expectations for Luo Yuan, who received the resources from the top three forces in the Divine Morning Mansion, after watching Tuo Ba Xiu’s fight. Moreover, his opponent was Han Di from the Consonance Mansion’s United Heaven Sect. Han Di was also unheard of prior to the Seven Mansions Feast and only revealed his strength recently.

Duan Ling Tian looked at the two opponents on the battlefield and thought to himself, ‘Han Di is terrifyingly strong, but so is Luo Yuan…’

At this time, a young disciple from the Pure Yang Sect suddenly asked, “Senior Brother Duan, who do you think is stronger? After all, you fought Han Di previously.”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “It’s difficult to say. Han Di is very strong, but the Divine Morning Mansion gave Luo Yuan all their resources. As such, Luo Yuan has to be very strong as well. Look at Tuo Ba Xiu for example. She’s very strong. Be patient. We’ll find out who’s stronger soon enough.”

Duan Ling Tian thought highly of Tuo Ba Xiu even though she lost her fight.

After listening to Duan Ling Tian, the young disciple from the Pure Yang Sect shifted his attention back to the battlefield.

The duo, who stood across from each other, made a move at the same time. In just a blink of an eye, they drew close to each other.

Seeing this, a few of them quickly realized what was going on.

“Han Di and Luo Yuan aren’t fighting. They’re just going to determine their strength with one strike like what Han Di and Duan Ling Tian did previously!”

“Han Di must have suggested it. Why is he so cautious? Isn’t it time for him to reveal his strength?”

“Well, Luo Yuan agreed to the suggestion.”

“Isn’t it normal for Luo Yuan to agree? With this, he can conserve his energy and hide his true strength.”

Meanwhile, Yuan Mo Yu and Tuo Ba Xiu’s expressions were rather unsightly. In comparison to Han Di and Luo Yuan, they had fought desperately and were severely injured and exhausted as a result. Since Han Di and Luo Yuan were doing this, it would be bad for both of them when they faced Han Di and Luo Yuan later.

‘Again?’ Duan Ling Tian was also slightly startled when he discovered Han Di and Luo Yuan’s intentions.

The crowd had yet to recover from the surprise when the two opponents shot past each other, sensing each other’s strength.

Suddenly, Han Di frowned slightly.

On the contrary, a hint of joy could be seen on Luo Yuan’s face.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian had already noticed Han Di’s abnormality. He was most familiar with Han Di’s strength. During his fight with Han Di, even the Emperors of Gods’ attention was on him so they did not pay attention to Luo Yuan. As such, he was the first to realize that the strength Han Di unleashed now seemed weaker than before.

‘Why did his strength become weaker? He didn’t fight recently, and he’s not injured. It doesn’t make sense…’

Then, a thought suddenly appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. ‘Han Di is setting a trap for Luo Yuan!’

On the battlefield, Luo Yuan, who was delighted, instinctively let down his guard, not expecting Han Di to make a move. He would come to regret letting his guard down at this moment.

Similarly, the Emperors of Gods from the Divine Morning Mansion were delighted by the result as well.

“Huh? Is this the extent of Han Di’s strength? Does this mean Luo Yuan has a chance of fighting Duan Ling Tian for the first place?”

“It seems like the prodigy from the Consonance Mansion’s United Heavens Sect isn’t a match for Luo Yuan!”

Suddenly…

Boom!

Everyone’s expressions froze.

Han Di’s Divine Energy surged out violently as he activated his bloodline power. At the same time, his prominent divine artifact was slashing toward Luo Yuan.

“Han Di!” Luo Yuan roared. Alas, it was too late for him to react when he sensed Han Di’s fierce attack from the back. Anger overwhelmed him as he realized that Han Di had reneged on the promise. He could only quickly mobilize his energy and the profundities from the law to form a barrier at this time.

Boom!

Luo Yuan’s protective barrier shattered, and he was sent flying back, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He was severely injured. He choked on the blood in his mouth, struggling and failing to surrender.

Boom!

Without another word, Han Di seized the chance and struck again!

Luo Yuan fell unconscious and plummeted to the ground.
