1575 An Azure Rain! (3)
Victory was decided in a single collision. Sparks faded and two figures were thrown out.
Splat!
They vomited blood as they were jetted away, pale faced and eyes filled with disbelief.
w.a.n.g Teng managed to counter both attacks!
The young hero ignored them from then on, turning to the other side.
!!
At that very moment, Su Jianchen’s attack arrived.
A blinding sword projection was shot from the latter’s sword. Supreme was the word, unique in its kind; there was only that sword coming down in everyone’s vision.
The sharp sword consciousness seemed ready to chop w.a.n.g Teng in two. His hair and clothes fluttered violently due to the rising wind.
And yet, w.a.n.g Teng remained calm and composed. His sword condensed a terrifying glow; he also appeared to have become one with his sword.
I am the sword!
The sword is me!
This feeling came to him naturally.
That was the first time he displayed the Unity of Man and Sword, but it wasn’t because of unfamiliarity. The move did have the feel of a seasoned expert.
He closed his eyes. All he could see was a white sword glow in his mind.
Su Jianchen’s sword projection was already a few hundred meters away from the hero, and would land on his head in the blink of an eye.
Many people felt their hearts tighten when they saw this; they were worried for the young hero.
Boom!
w.a.n.g Teng finally moved, calmly wielding his sword.
Two sword projections collided in the air.
w.a.n.g Teng suddenly disappeared from his current position. He didn’t wait for the collision to happen.
He had released his attack. There was no point in staying to look.
He was certain that he could win.
Then, another strange fluctuation emerged from his body. A completely different domain was formed.
A sickle-shaped attack was shooting towards him, covered in a dark-green mist. It collided with his domain.
Gaunt squinted, realizing that his attack had been engulfed by w.a.n.g Teng’s domain; the mist was also corroding at a fast pace. The poisoner wondered what it had touched.
He felt at a loss, so he immediately retreated.
But, it was too late. The earthling’s domain was expanding at an incredible rate and he was pulled in.
Gaunt frowned. He glanced around him.
He was surrounded by an azure color, s.h.i.+mmering like water. This made him feel he was at the bottom of the sea.
At the same time, he sensed a faint aura of death lingering in the environment. Some terrible dangers seemed to be lurking about.
“What domain is this?” the poisoner muttered, feeling chills down his spine.
Suddenly, he noticed a few more figures entrapped in the domain. They were some of the other candidates.
“You were also pulled in, I see,” Gaunt said.
“This is…” Ji Haochen glanced around him, feeling disoriented.
“This is my Netherworld Domain!” said w.a.n.g Teng, floating above them. His clones appeared next to him and gradually dissipated.
No one relaxed when he dispelled his clones. This caused the opposite, putting them on edge.
“The Netherworld Domain!” the Second Prince repeated w.a.n.g Teng’s words in a serious tone. He had an ominous feeling about it.
“Netherworld Domain! What an arrogant name!” Xiahou Zun snorted.
“It’s normal.” The hero glanced at the latter, his face impa.s.sive.
Timothy glanced around him and asked, “w.a.n.g Teng, are you trying to take care of us at once?”
“You can say that.” The hero chuckled.
“There are six of us. We just need to manifest our domains; that would be enough to tear your domain to pieces!” Ji Haochen said.
“You can try,” said their common foe, nonchalant.
“You’re quite confident.” The Second Prince stared into w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes and guessed, “This is your second domain, right? Why aren’t you using your combined domain? Is this Netherworld Domain stronger?”
“I got tired of that domain so I changed to a new one,” the hero replied
The Second Prince: …
Others: …
Is this what a human should say?
Tired of one domain so he decides to use another?
Do you think you can buy domains at the market?
No one knew what to say at the moment. No words could describe their feelings.
Gaunt snorted. “Why are you talking to him? Let’s use our domains. I don’t believe we can’t destroy his domain if we work together.”
“All right.” The Second Prince took a deep breath and continued, “Everyone, let’s work together.”
The others replied, agreeing to band together and defeat the earthling. The latter’s momentum was oppressive; none of them had thoughts of defeating him separately.
Boom!
Suddenly, all their domains were activated; strange fluctuations were erupting from their bodies, turning into special areas of effect. Several domains appeared inside of w.a.n.g Teng’s Netherworld Domain.
There were six people left inside the hero’s domain, which equated to six different domains.
Without a doubt, anyone who could reach that step had already grasped a domain.
The six terrifying powers expanded inside the hero’s domain. Powerful fluctuations were las.h.i.+ng out, slamming against w.a.n.g Teng’s domain.
However, the Second Prince and the others quickly noticed that something was amiss. Their expressions turned grim. “No, wait.”
Their domains were expanding, but they were able to destroy the hero’s, no matter how hard they tried. The power of his domain exceeded their expectation.
Among the six fighters, the ones with the strongest domains were the Second Prince, Timothy, Ji Haochen, and Gaunt. All of them had reached the third-rank.
Xiahou Zun and Sawyer’s domains were at the second-rank, but they were of the combined kind, also making them powerful.
However, they were still unable to break w.a.n.g Teng’s domain.
Everyone was astounded. An absurd thought appeared in their minds.
This Netherworld Domain must be above the third-rank!
“Your domains aren’t bad, but they’re not powerful enough!” w.a.n.g Teng’s calm voice echoed from above. The Second Prince and the others were shocked.
“Your domain is at the… fourth-rank!” the Second Prince exclaimed in disbelief.
“The fourth rank!” Gaunt and the others were taken aback. They used to believe they were the strongest, since they could cultivate their domains to the celestial rank’s second or third-rank. However, w.a.n.g Teng managed to reach the fourth stage!
“How is this possible?” Xiahou Zun was bewildered. “No one has ever reached the fourth rank while still at the celestial stage!”
“Don’t spout nonsense if you don’t know,” w.a.n.g Teng replied calmly, “It’s barely at the fourth-rank; nothing much.”
Xiahou Zun turned red. Someone actually implied he was an ignoramus.
Furthermore, the young hero sounded utterly arrogant.
Fourth-rank only?
Nothing much?
Does he know what having a fourth-rank domain means?
He had never heard of any partic.i.p.ant in the League of Talents that possessed a fourth-rank domain!
Mind you, there was a ma.s.sive divide between third-rank and fourth-rank. Such a gap prevented them from overcoming the hurdle, so they needed to advance to the cosmos stage and gain a deeper understanding of their Forces first, before they could achieve their breakthroughs.
“Let’s end this!” w.a.n.g Teng said calmly.
Numerous azure droplets appeared in his domain. The hero waved a hand and the droplets plummeted down.
The azure domain appeared to have rain inside.
The drops were of an azure color!
Boom!
The four hostage domains began to tremble as soon as the blue droplets fell down. The power within the captive domains were being silently erased, just like how the Netherworld Water corroded everything it touched.
