Then, this five- or six-year-old Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier martial artist exploded with a speed that struck even those in the Spiritual Ocean Tier dumb. It almost made them die of shock!
And now, great, here was another monster-like Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier martial artist who was able to stand against opponents of the Spiritual Ocean Tier when he himself was only at the first layer of the Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier. This was enough to make them feel as if they were dreaming.
Was this still that world of martial arts they knew?
Peng, peng, peng, peng . The three of them were embroiled in a furious battle, and as they simultaneously impeded each other, it was difficult to decide who would be the victor for the moment.
In terms of current battle prowess, Yan Tian Zhao should be the strongest, because his cultivation level was highest as he had reached the third layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier. The second would be Feng Yan, who was at the first layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, and last would be Ling Han. On the surface, he looked to be in the first layer of the Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier, but was actually at the eighth layer of the Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier, and his real battle prowess actually very closely approached the Spiritual Ocean Tier.
But because if one was slightly stronger, he would naturally be on the receiving end of fierce attacks from the other two and thus was unable to get the upper hand, which was what forced this battle into a deadlock.
However, it was also possible that the fragile balance would be instantly destroyed. Because as of this moment, the three fighters had still not displayed their strongest battle prowess. If any one of them suddenly exploded and delivered an extremely powerful attack, it might be possible that he would be able to fling the other two fighters away and emerge victorious with this one move—the winner would be the first person who managed to appear in front of the Rain Emperor.
But since things have developed this way, the plans of the three have changed.
They would defeat the other two, and become the champion!
They were all proud young men, and faced with a powerful opponent, their first thought would be to defeat him and not retreat or avoid him. Otherwise, if they had lost their invincibility, then what difference did they have with any other ordinary genius?
“Heng!” Feng Yan was the first to reveal his trump card as there appeared flashes of silver light on his body.
He had activated his special physical const.i.tution of Mirror Light Body.
The moment he activated Mirror Light Body, Feng Yan’s battle prowess soared.
He would suffer 20% less damage, and could even reflect 20% of attack power onto his opponents. This was an extremely scary thing. Moreover, the more attacks he suffered, the greater the effects of Mirror Light Body. After only a few moves, Ling Han and Yan Tian Zhao had ceased their mutual attacks on each other, and had practically combined their forces against Feng Yan.
Feng Yan instantly laughed loudly. Though the pressure he was experiencing had greatly increased due to being attacked by two young powerful elites at the same time, the fact that he could stand against them on his own gave him a powerful feeling of achievement.
The battle today did not only include a personal vendetta or the Mystical Power. It also involved the compet.i.tion for the strongest amongst the younger generation of Rain Country, or perhaps even the whole Nine Nations of the Desolate North.
They could not help but fight.
Yan Tian Zhao gave a humph, and a green six-pointed star flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, his battle prowess spiked, and he was able to instantly turn the disadvantageous situation around, now capable of standing against Feng Yan on his own.
The three of them were embroiled in a battle royale, but because of Yan Tian Zhao’s sudden increase in prowess, he instantly attracted the majority of Feng Yan’s attacks, so it had practically become a furious battle between himself and Feng Yan.
The pressure on Ling Han decreased. Neither Feng Yan nor Yan Tian Zhao had really taken Ling Han seriously. No matter how you looked at it, Ling Han was only in the Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier. Since he had not yet even stepped into the Spiritual Ocean Tier, how could they possibly think of him as a real opponent for them?
Underestimating him? They would have to pay a price for that!
Ling Han retreated a few steps and began to acc.u.mulate his power. The Mysterious Three Thousand was waiting to be used after he had acc.u.mulated enough power.
This sword technique was extremely powerful, and required a certain amount of time to gather enough power for it, but that would only be the time for one or two breaths. Immediately, an imposing aura exuded from Ling Han, and the might lying underneath was shockingly terrifying.
Feng Yan and Yan Tian Zhao, who had been engaged in a fierce battle, immediately ceased all movement and turned to stare at Ling Han. They were shocked by the sword intent emanating from Ling Han. When this slash was delivered, it would definitely be a devastating, earth-shattering attack.
Ling Han drew his sword, and instantly, afterimages of swords appeared in the sky ill.u.s.triously, heading towards Feng Yan and Yan Tian Zhao as a monstrous wave.
Feng Yan’s expression changed abruptly. The power behind this slash was stronger by an unknown number of times than the Four Seasons Sword Technique! He had originally thought that the Four Seasons Sword Technique was Ling Han’s ace-in-the-hole and his final trump card, but had never thought that Ling Han could show an even more powerful sword technique. This was completely unbelievable to him.
The sword rose, and it seemed as if winds and clouds were birthed with it.
Feng Yan quickly roared loudly. This slash was too powerful. He wouldn’t be able to receive this move if he merely relied on the Mirror Light Body, so he had to use his strongest trump card! As he roared tumultuously, his body actually expanded, as if it was pumped full of air.
The inconceivable thing was that black-colored fur actually grew rapidly on his body, as if he had become an ape. However, his aura also soared correspondingly, increasing all the way from the first layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier.
The middle period of the first layer, the late period, the peak period, and without the slightest bit of stagnation, he breached over and directly entered the second layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier.
It was still increasing!
The second layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, the third layer… and finally stopped at the fourth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier!
He once again shot out a fist, and like previously, nine battle sabers shot out with his fist. But they were far more profound than they had been, and the martial intent contained in them was much more powerful as well.
On the other side, Yan Tian Zhao’s eyes had also narrowed, and a green fog gushed out from all over his body, forming a s.h.i.+eld-like object in front of him, and he was protected behind it.
Xiu, xiu, xiu. The sword images shot forward, and it was indeed an earth-shattering attack.
On the peak, the Rain Emperor had also stood up. His face that had been formerly calm was now wearing a shocked expression. It was obvious that the might behind Ling Han’s move had exceeded even his expectations.
The swords reached their target!
Hong, hong, hong, hong, hong, hong . Thunderous bangs were heard, and one after another, streams of light clashed, crashed into one another, and shattered, putting on an endless l.u.s.ter.
All those at the foot of the hill were watching dizzily with wide eyes. These few young men were obviously merely in the early stage of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, yet they displayed battle prowess that should belong to the middle stage, or even late stage of the Spiritual Ocean Tier.
No, there was even a guy that was only in the first layer of the Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier!
This was too much f******** nonsense. Did that mean that the ranks in martial arts were only for show?
After this one move, Ling Han, Feng Yan, and Yan Tian Zhao separated, with a certain distance between each other. For the moment, none of them made a move, and merely stood opposite one another.
“I really can’t underestimate you!” Feng Yan said solemnly. However, his whole body was covered with black fur and all his muscles were swelling, so he had completely transformed into a muscular guy and there wasn’t any hint left of his original appearance. It was like a giant ape had suddenly crashed the show, and ruined the image completely.
“However, now that you have forced me to use my trump card, the two of you would only be qualified to be trampled under my feet!” he laughed wildly.
Ling Han frowned slightly, and said, “Wild Strength Berserk Ape bloodline?” He finally understood why Feng Yan would be taken as disciple by a powerful elite of the Spiritual Infant Tier from the Winter Moon Sect—Wild Strength Berserk Ape was an ancient demonic beast, and it was rumored that these demonic beasts were in the Shattering Void Tier. Moreover, they were an extremely powerful race even in the Shattering Void Tier. Since he had inherited this kind of bloodline, Feng Yan could also possible break through to Shattering Void Tier.
Who would be able to resist the temptation of having a disciple in the Shattering Void Tier? The stronger one’s ability, the more powerful their desire. Since they themselves could not possibly break through to the Shattering Void Tier in this lifetime, then having a disciple that could would similarly bring to them a powerful satisfaction and sense of accomplishment.
Feng Yan could not help but tense up, and said, “You even know about Wild Strength Berserk Ape?” Actually, in the past, he himself had no idea what kind of bloodline he possessed. It was only by coincidence that it was discovered by that powerful elite from the Winter Moon Sect, who recognized this bloodline.
