Chapter 1126: Shock

At this moment, Liu Yan didn’t dare to harbor even the slightest hint of complacency. He directly chose to concede, allowing the Will of the Tower to transport him away from the battlefield.
Although Liu Yan had successfully executed Elemental Fusion, he had also expended a considerable amount of energy during the process.
The current Liu Yan could be described as being at the end of his strength.
Liu Yan knew that the power of the fused elements was extremely terrifying.
Even Lei Tianming, who had a terrifying 28 -star combat strength, would find it difficult to face the fused elemental powers.
However, Liu Yan was even more clear that after using this mixed elemental attack, he no longer had the strength to continue fighting.
If they continued to fight, the situation would be out of Liu Yan’s control.
If the mixed elements could have instantly killed Lei Tianming, Liu Yan could have continued the fight and, of course, taken down Lei Tianming directly.
But Liu Yan felt that it was simply impossible. No matter how potent the mixed elements were, they were not enough to instantly kill Lei Tianming.
After all, Lei Tianming was a powerhouse with a combat strength of 28 stars, a formidable and terrifying expert. Moreover, Lei Tianming had made preparations in advance, deploying various defensive skills, making it even more challenging for the mixed elements to deliver an instant kill.
If the mixed elemental attack left Lei Tianming severely injured, Liu Yan might still have a chance to defeat him by continuing the battle, but the outcome was uncertain, and Liu Yan might not emerge victorious.
If Lei Tianming’s injuries hadn’t been so severe, Liu Yan would have been killed by Lei Tianming if he had continued fighting.
As such, Liu Yan didn’t want to take the risk. He didn’t want to miss this opportunity to admit defeat and leave the battlefield.
Liu Yan had thought it through very clearly. Even if he chose to admit defeat now, he might miss the opportunity to deal with Lei Tianming.
However, if they had continued to fight, Liu Yan might have lost his only chance to escape.
Compared to dealing with Lei Tianming, Liu Yan felt that preserving his life was more important.
In any case, Liu Yan had the SSS-grade divine talent, Divine Extraction. The speed at which he increased his strength was far faster than that of ordinary people. As long as Liu Yan was given a certain amount of time to continue increasing his strength, he believed that it would not take long for him to catch up to Lei Tianming.
Once Liu Yan’s strength reached a certain level, opportunities to confront Lei Tianming in the future would be plentiful.
Therefore, the moment Liu Yan initiated the mixed elemental attack, he opted to concede and exit the battlefield before the outcome became apparent.
At this point, the amalgamated elements enshrouded Lei Tianming.
It seemed that the mixing of elements was slow and calm as if the power was very ordinary.
However, Lei Tianming could feel that he couldn’t escape at all.
This seemingly slow mixing of elements was very fast. It had completely locked onto him.
Left with no alternative, Lei Tianming abandoned any attempt to flee and persisted in deploying various potent defensive skills to bolster his defensive capabilities, intending to confront the mixed elemental attack head -on.
Liu Yan’s combat strength was seven stars lower than Lei Tianming’s.
Under normal circumstances, Lei Tianming wouldn’t have considered the opponent’s attack a serious threat.
After all, a difference of one-star level equated to a gap of 10 levels in combat strength, signifying a substantial difference in power.
A difference of 7 stars was already an extremely huge gap.
However, the opponent was Liu Yan, who was able to defeat a stronger opponent. This made Lei Tianming dare to underestimate him, especially when Liu Yan seemed to have successfully used the Elemental Fusion, which made Lei Tianming feel even more pressured.
In a fleeting moment, the Elemental Fusion enveloped Lei Tianming.
The Elemental Fusion that had been extremely calm just a moment ago exploded with power.
The two completely different elemental powers fused and erupted at this moment.
This wasn’t merely a simultaneous attack of two elements but a special power generated after the fusion of the two elements.
The entire battlefield was shrouded in terrifying energy fluctuations.
The experts on both sides of the battlefield could no longer see the situation on the stage. They did not understand what was going on.
The experts of Lakon were taken aback.
Lei Tianming was the most formidable expert from Lakon, with formidable strength.
Even though Liu Yan’s previous performance was already exaggerated and robust, in their eyes, Lei Tianming, personally entering the fray, should easily dispatch Liu Yan.
However, the current situation did not seem to be the case.
Initially, despite Liu Yan’s sorry state, he managed to withstand Lei Tianming’s attacks, avoiding immediate defeat.
Now, Liu Yan seemed to have employed a particular skill, compelling Lei Tianming into a defensive posture.
“What’s happening? What skill did Liu Yan employ?”
“I’m clueless. With the barrier in place, we can only rely on our naked eyes to observe. It’s impossible to comprehend the situation on the battlefield.”
“This Liu Yan is truly perplexing. How did he force the captain into a defensive stance?”
“It seemed like there were two types of elemental power fluctuations just now.
Could it be that Liu Yan fused the two types of elemental power?” “How is that possible? How could Liu Yan accomplish such a feat?”
“That seems to be the only possibility. Otherwise, Liu Yan wouldn’t have been able to force the captain to defend himself.”
The experts from Lakon were reluctant to believe this speculation.
However, based on the current situation, it appeared to be the only plausible explanation.
For a moment, the remaining top experts of Lakon Territory wore somewhat unpleasant expressions.
At the same time, the experts from Team Origin were all wearing pleased expressions.
“What skill did the captain use? Forcing Lei Tianming to defend himself?” Ye Yifan inquired.
Alan Smith shook his head and commented, “I’ve followed Liu Yan for so long and have seen him fight many times, but I don’t think he has ever used such a skill.
Murong Xue laughed. “Looks like this is Liu Yan’s trump card. He won’t use it lightly. Haha, this should be enough to give Lei Tianming a hard time!” “Lei Tianming is still very strong. Our captain can’t afford to be careless,” Luo Wei warned.
Lu Dajiang, with a puzzled expression, added, “Strange. What skill did Liu Yan use? How did he force Lei Tianming to defend himself?”
Wei Feng, equally puzzled, remarked, “To make Lei Tianming defend himself and to use so many skills for defense, this is the first time I’ve seen such a scenario.”
“It seems the captain’s strength is much greater than we expected,” Liu Qingrou said.
Ning Shanshan entertained a possibility. “I seem to have seen two elemental powers just now, which were the wood attribute elemental power and the fire attribute elemental power. Could it be that Liu Yan successfully fused the two elemental powers?”
However, even as she spoke, Ning Shanshan shook her head, denying her speculation. “Impossible. Elemental Fusion is out of the question. Even the top experts on the ninth floor of the tower can’t achieve that, let alone those on the sixth level.”
Despite thinking it impossible, Huang Yuan entered a state of contemplation. Elemental Fusion was undeniably challenging. Even among the top experts on the ninth floor of the tower, only a select few could achieve it.
Anyone capable of performing Elemental Fusion was a top-notch expert, an entity that stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid.
Yet, Huang Yuan couldn’t think of any other possibility. He genuinely couldn’t think of anything else that would make Lei Tianming defend himself in such a
manner..
