Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian flew forward as a powerful spatial storm surged and swept toward the net of golden saber rays. As soon as his Divine Energy, which was imbued with the law of space, collided with the middle-aged man’s Divine Energy, which was imbued with the law of metal, he teleported away.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When the golden saber rays swept past Duan Ling Tian’s spatial storm unaffected, Duan Ling Tian exclaimed, “Intermediate Lord of Gods?!”

At the same time, the middle-aged man, an inner elder of the Tai Yi Sect, exclaimed in surprise as well, “Rudimentary Lord of Gods?!”

Following that, the middle-aged man, who had been cautious in the beginning, shot out like a meteor in the sky and caught up with Duan Ling Tian in just a blink of an eye.

At the same time, Dongfang Yan Nian asked through Voice Transmission, “Should we intervene now?”

Dongfang Yan Nian and Xue Hai Chuan had been hiding behind the clouds in the distance.

Xue Hai Chuan shook his head. “That’s not necessary. Little Tian is likely deliberately showing his weakness to make this opponent feel complacent. I’m sure Little Tian still has a few tricks up his sleeve. The opponent is just an inner elder. Moreover, the opponent is weaker than Kuang Tian Zheng. Let’s just monitor the situation for now.”

“You’re right.” Dongfang Yan Nian nodded. He had instinctively thought about helping Duan Ling Tian as soon as he saw Duan Ling Tian teleporting away. However, after listening to Xue Hai Chuan, he realized that Xue Hai Chuan was right. Moreover, the other party was just an inner elder so they had plenty of time left to save Duan Ling Tian if the matter took a turn for the worse.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged laughed inwardly, feeling pleased with himself, as he launched another attack.

Dazzling golden saber rays swept toward Duan Ling Tian once again, looking as though they could shred Duan Ling Tian to pieces.

‘I thought he was a White Dragon Elder. As it turns out, he’s just a rudimentary Lord of Gods!’ the middle-aged man thought to himself, feeling slightly embarrassed when he thought about how he had overreacted earlier.

The middle-aged man scoffed before he said, “Young man, you’re only a rudimentary Lord of Gods. How bold of you to wander the Lord Battlefield openly and attack me. You must have a death wish!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Following that, hundreds of saber rays swept toward Duan Ling Tian.

The middle-aged man was determined to end the fight as quickly as he possibly could. It would be embarrassing if Duan Ling Tian managed to escape.

“What’s wrong with being a rudimentary Lord of Gods?” Duan Ling Tian asked. He used his Mastery Dao as spatial energy surged around him.

The space distorted imperceptibly before the saber rays were destroyed.

Swoosh!

Then, the sound of a sword whistling in the air rang out as a grey sword ray shot out toward the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was shocked and puzzled when he saw Duan Ling Tian unharmed. Even if Duan Ling Tian had a deeper comprehension of the law, it was still impossible for Duan Ling Tian to be completely unharmed. After all, Duan Ling Tian was just a rudimentary Lord of Gods. However, before he could further contemplate the matter, Duan Ling Tian attacked again.

‘Damn it! He must have used some other tricks to destroy my attack! Although his comprehension of the law is better than mine, he shouldn’t be able to bridge the gap between our strengths since he’s only a rudimentary Lord of Gods. The difference between our Divine Energies isn’t something the law could make up for…’

The middle-aged man took a deep breath. With this thought in mind, he decided to face Duan Ling Tian heads-on. He was convinced it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to beat him because Duan Ling Tian was just a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian’s attack after Duan Ling Tian destroyed his attack was not as strong.

“Young man, it doesn’t make a difference even if you managed to destroy my attack earlier with some tricks. I still have plenty of Divine Energy! Die!” the middle-aged man said before he shot toward Duan Ling Tian like a streak of golden light.

The middle-aged man’s saber rays shone brilliantly as he attacked.

Swoosh!

At this time, the sound of a sword whistling rang again from another direction.

Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger appeared behind the middle-aged man with a sword in hand. Following that, the sword fell toward the middle-aged man as the spatial energy raged.

The middle-aged man was shocked when he sensed the killing intent behind him. He knew he did not have enough time to deflect the attack, and he could only mobilize his Divine Energy, which was imbued with the law of metal, to defend himself. At the same time, his body was shrouded by a golden light. It seemed like he had used a defensive mediocre divine artifact.

Swoosh!

The terrifying sword easily breached the middle-aged man’s defenses and fell on him. At the same time, the spatial energy swept into his meridians before it exploded.

“No!”

An ear-piercing cry rang in the air before the middle-aged man died.

Duan Ling Tian flew toward his doppelganger that had appeared behind the middle-aged man and merged with it. Earlier, when he was deflecting the middle-aged man’s attack, he had deployed his doppelganger. Under normal circumstances, his opponent should have been able to detect the movements, but his opponent was in a hurry and had underestimated him because he was a rudimentary Lord of Gods; his opponent did not bother to sense his surroundings with his Divine Consciousness. This resulted in the success of Duan Ling Tian’s sneak attack.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian waved his hand, and the middle-aged man’s spatial ring flew into his hand.

At the same time, Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian descended from the sky and flew over. The duo was still shocked by what they had seen.

“To think someone who became a rudimentary Lord of Gods just a few years ago is able to easily kill an inner elder of the Tai Yi Sect. I wonder what those from the Tai Yi Sect will think if they witness this,” Dongfang Yan Nian said as he sighed emotionally, “It’s too bad Floating Image Pearls are prohibited on the battlefield. Otherwise, I would’ve recorded the battle to show the others.”

On the other hand, Xue Hai Chuan only looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock and silence. Although Duan Ling Tian had grown stronger, he still did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be able to kill the middle-aged man so easily. Duan Ling Tian had wisely used the middle-aged man’s prejudice toward rudimentary Lords of Gods to his advantage. It was an eye-opening experience for him, and he was not sure that he could pull this off if he was in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian had moved and acted so seamlessly that it was clear that Duan Ling Tian had many combat experiences.

‘If I were the inner elder, I would’ve sustained serious injuries even if I survived,’ Xue Hai Chuan thought to himself.

“I was just lucky,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile. Then, he looked at the identity token, spatial ring, and weapon in his hands. According to his agreement with Xue Hai Chuan and Dongfang Yan Nian, the war points would be shared equally, but the spatial rings and weapons would belong to those who contributed the most.
