Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Earlier, everyone’s attention, including the Saint Stage powerhouse, was solely focused on the figure that was covered with 10,000 claw marks. Due to this reason, n.o.body noticed when Duan Ling Tian’s Territory had transformed into a sword, bringing him away.
Lin Dong’s attack had missed because of this.
When Bai Li Hong and the others saw this, they heaved a sigh of relief before they smiled.
“Master Duan.” Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian unharmed, Situ Hang smiled as well, relieved.
Situ Hao and Situ Hou breathed a sigh of relief as well.
As for the group of people from King Qian’s estate, they frowned in unison. They did not expect something so ridiculous to happen.
Duan Ling Tian had long escaped Lin Dong’s intense attack!
“Duan Ling Tian’s really lucky! How’s he still alive?” Ye Feng said spitefully through clenched teeth.
“Well, he can be lucky once but not twice.” Situ Ming snorted.
Although King Qian and Ye Mu Bai did not speak, a frown could be seen on their faces. It was obvious they were displeased with the way things had turned out.
“How fast!”
“That’s too fast! Even most of the Saint Stage powerhouses present on the scene didn’t realize what was going on in the beginning.”
“Everyone was waiting for Duan Ling Tian to be torn into pieces, n.o.body was paying attention to the changes in his Territory! I can’t believe he can even use his Territory this way. Isn’t this too ridiculous?”
“As expected from the strongest powerhouse among the younger generation in Windfall Nation! To think he’s able to escape from such a dangerous situation.”
“Currently, I think the strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion is having a hard time holding on to his prestige, right?”
As the people discussed among themselves, their attention began to s.h.i.+ft toward Lin Dong. When they spoke, a hint of mockery could be seen in their eyes.
Lin Dong’s face turned green before it turned white when he saw the looks in their eyes.
It did not cross his mind that Duan Ling Tian would be able to dodge his most powerful technique. It was almost impossible!
“His Territory can actually be used like this?” Naturally, Lin Dong had also figured out that Duan Ling Tian managed to escape because of the sword that was formed by his Territory. That sword had brought him away, effectively dodging his attack.
“You’ve removed your Territory? In that case, I’ll use my Territory along with my attack to crush you completely!” Taking a deep breath, Lin Dong looked at Duan Ling Tian who was hovering high up in the sky with the sword beneath his feet. His gaze turned cold again now that Duan Ling Tian had angered him.
Without any warning, Lin Dong’s Territory that was no longer suppressed suddenly whirled.
At this instant, as Lin Dong charged toward Duan Ling Tian, his Territory moved forward as well, completely enveloping Duan Ling Tian. Each and every whirlpool in Lin Dong’s Territory increased its speed as well. Their speed was not inferior to Lin Dong’s speed.
Meanwhile, Lin Dong attacked again. Along with the whirlpools that emitted a terrifying aura, he charged toward Duan Ling Tian menacingly. The air in the wake of the whirlpools seemed to quake and distort. One could see how terrifying its power was.
“Lin Dong’s finally getting serious!” When everyone saw this, they knew Lin Dong was no longer holding back.
However, the sword beneath Duan Ling Tian moved and brought him away, easily dodging Lin Dong’s attack even though he no longer held back.
The speed of the sword beneath Duan Ling Tian’s feet was very close to the speed of a Saint Stage powerhouse. n.o.body under the Saint Stage would be able to catch up to him now.
“Duan Ling Tian managed to dodge the attack again? Isn’t that sword beneath Duan Ling Tian’s feet that was transformed from his Territory a little strange?”
“Looks like it’s going to be difficult for Lin Dong to kill Duan Ling Tian in the Death Duel today!”
“It’s more than difficult… Since he can’t touch Duan Ling Tian at all, there’s no way he could do anything to him, let alone kill him! As for Duan Ling Tian, he might be able to turn the tide if uses his speed to his advantage and kill Lin Dong.”
“Kill Lin Dong? If Duan Ling Tian really succeeds, he’ll be even more famous!”
“I can’t help but look forward to seeing how the strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking changes to someone from Windfall Nation!”
The situation was changing too fast for the people watching it.
“Good! Very good!” Everyone thought Lin Dong would be furious, but he laughed heartily instead.
“Things have already developed to this extent, and he’s still in the mood to laugh?” When the crowd saw this, many of them had a strange expression on their faces.
“Could it be that he has gone mad from the anger?” Many people whispered among themselves.
“How can the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking be like that? He doesn’t even have the courage to admit defeat?” Many people burst out laughing.
“No wonder Master Duan wasn’t worried when he discovered their battle was a Death Duel… As it turns out, he has such a trick up his sleeve.” Situ Hang felt at ease immediately when he saw the speed of the sword beneath Duan Ling Tian’s feet.
“I can’t believe Junior Brother would gain the upper hand even without using that sword.” Bai Li Hong smiled.
Of all the martial tactics in the world, only speed was undefeatable.
When one had gained the upper hand, one would be very difficult to defeat.
Sima and the others sighed in relief before they smiled.
“Duan Ling Tian always manages to surprise us every time we see him.” Chen Shao Shuai sighed.
“Indeed.” Nangong Yi agreed with him.
Meanwhile, King Rong’s expression had turned glum.
He did not expect things to end up this way. Initially, he thought Duan Ling Tian would definitely die. Moreover, he had come up with ideas to use Duan Ling Tian’s death to his advantage. He was planning to sow discord between the Drift Blaze Sect and King Qian’s faction.
Currently, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian might not die.
Perhaps, he would have felt better if Duan Ling Tian was still a part of the Situ Clan. In that case, he could say Duan Ling Tian belonged to King Rong’s estate to a certain extent.
However, Duan Ling Tian had left the Situ Clan due to the pressure from King Rong’s estate. He must not have a good impression of King Rong’s estate. Due to this reason, he hoped Duan Ling Tian would die. He would be displeased if he did not die.
“Huh? The matter has already developed to this stage, why is Fourth Brother so calm?” Soon after, King Rong noticed his mortal enemy, his fourth brother, King Qian, was very calm even though he had a slight frown on his face earlier. It was as though he was not worried about Duan Ling Tian’s speed at all.
“Don’t tell me Lin Dong did not unleash his full power yet?” King Rong came to a conclusion. He turned to observe Lin Dong. Although he was laughing, it did not seem like he was laughing because he had gone insane.
The confidence in Lin Dong’s eyes became even more intense.
“Where does he get his confidence from?” King Rong’s heart jolted. He did not understand it at all. However, he began to look forward to seeing how things would continue to develop.
Lin Dong’s laughter had died down, but his smile was still plastered on his face. As he looked at Duan Ling Tian, he said nonchalantly, “Duan Ling Tian, I must admit you’re indeed powerful. You should be proud of yourself that you managed to force me to this point. However, did you think that’s all I have up my sleeve?”
“Huh?” Initially, the crowd thought Lin Dong had gone mad from the anger. They were shocked when they heard his words after he had stopped laughing.
“Things have already developed to this stage, but Lin Dong could still say such words… Could it be that he still has some tricks left?”
“Previously, apart from his True Energy Consolidated Weapon and True Energy Consolidated Beast, he has already used everything he has. Don’t tell me he’s trying to turn the tide by using these two techniques?”
“What a joke! Lin Dong’s True Energy Consolidated Territory could not even inflict any harm on Duan Ling Tian. Even if he uses his True Energy Consolidated Weapon and True Energy Consolidated Beast, he would still be unable to turn the situation around!”
“He has even used his Saint Weapon that’s inscribed with two Four Star Saint Inscriptions. What other things can Lin Dong rely on?”
The crowd of people looked at Lin Dong curiously. All of them wanted to know if Lin Dong still had tricks up his sleeve.
If he had, what was it actually?
They could not think of anything at all.
Duan Ling Tian could not help but raise an eyebrow when he saw how confident Lin Dong was. However, he was not fl.u.s.tered. “If you still have any tricks up your sleeve, reveal it now so I can deal with it!”
Duan Ling Tian’s words were also filled with great confidence.
“You’ll see soon enough.” Lin Dong smiled sinisterly. Then, the True Energy on his body surged before it subsided again through the pores on his body.
Meanwhile, the air near Lin Dong began to tremble.
The whirlpools in Lin Dong’s Territory began to gather and shrouded him.
Lin Dong who was in the midst of the whirlpools absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy from the world quickly with the help of the whirlpools. When the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy surged into Lin Dong’s body through the whirlpools, it seemed almost solid that could it even be seen with one’s eyes.
“H-He’s cultivating?” When the crowd of people saw this, they were stunned speechless.
Would there be any use now in resorting to such a desperate measure at the last minute?
Some people even laughed out loud. “Don’t tell me Lin Dong thinks he’ll be able to break through to the Saint Stage at this moment?”
Many people laughed. It was apparent they were laughing at Lin Dong.
However, soon after, their laughter came to a halt.
This was because the whirlpools around Lin Dong had slowed down, and terrifying aura began to surge out of his body. It terrified the people on the scene.
“Saint Stage! It’s the aura of a Saint Stage powerhouse!”
Meanwhile, many of the Saint Stage powerhouses on the scene narrowed their eyes. It did not occur to them that Lin Dong would break through to the Saint Stage at this moment.
