Chapter 3271: Fighting Liu Jian

In the battle ring.

Liu Jian looked at Duan Ling Tian calmly and said condescendingly, “You’re strong and courageous. You’re truly worthy of being a disciple chosen by the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor.”

Duan Ling Tian ignored Liu Jian. His expression showed no changes; it was as though he did not care about Liu Jian at all. In fact, he really did not take Liu Jian seriously at all.

“Begin,” the Sword Trial Pavilion elder said at this moment under everyone’s watchful eyes. At the same time, he reminded Duan Ling Tian again through Voice Transmission. “If you’re no match for him, surrender immediately. Otherwise, you might not have a chance to do so later…”

“Many thanks for your reminder, elder.” Duan Ling Tian appreciated the elder’s repeated reminder even though he knew the elder had only done so in consideration of Huan’er’s feelings. Needless to say, he also appreciated the reminder from Hong Fei, his Sixth Senior Brother. He did not respond to Hong Fei’s reminder and warning because he knew it was futile; Hong Fei would not believe that he, who was not even 300 years old, was a match for Liu Jian. Moreover, Liu Jian was, in some ways, slightly stronger than Hong Fei. It would be best to convince Hong Fei of his strength through his actions.

“Duan Ling Tian, I won’t bully you. You can make the first move…” Although Liu Jian did not think Duan Ling Tian was a match for him, he was not careless. Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body and shrouded his body immediately. He looked as though he had been plated with gold and shone dazzlingly. From afar, he looked like Buddha who illuminated everything with his golden light.

A small smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face upon hearing Liu Jian’s words. It was obvious Liu Jian did not think much of him at all.

Swoos.h.!.+

Duan Ling Tian vanished into thin air immediately without saying another word.

Swoos.h.!.+

Then, Duan Ling Tian reappeared near Liu Jian. With just a thought, he cast the law of s.p.a.ce’s Restraining Profundity to restrain Liu Jian. This time, he had used the Restraining Profundity differently compared to when he used it against Huang Lu Nan. Against Huang Lu Nan, he had used it only to trap Huang Lu Nan alone in the spatial prison. However, at this moment, he was also in the spatial prison with Liu Jian; he was only about ten meters away from Liu Jian at this moment. He didn’t attack in a hurry and only stood across from Liu Jian silently.

Meanwhile, the golden Celestial Origin Energy that was boosted by the Metal Elemental Profundity shone so brightly at this moment that it seemed as though it could burn Duan Ling Tian.

The disciples in the surroundings were confused when they saw this and began to discuss among themselves.

“What’s Duan Ling Tian trying to do?’

“I think he’s provoking Senior Brother Liu Jian by standing so close to Senior Brother Liu Jian…”

“There are ripples in the air around them. This should be because they’re imprisoned in the s.p.a.ce from Duan Ling Tian’s Restraining Profundity. Why did Duan Ling Tian enter the spatial prison with Senior Brother Liu Jian?”

“Is he mad? To stand so close to Senior Brother Liu Jian… Is he courting death?”

“Senior Brother Liu Jian is an Eight Trigrams Celestial Lord who has comprehended the law of metal. This means his strongest suit is his defenses. On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian’s advantage lies with the law of s.p.a.ce’s Teleportation Profundity. By doing this, isn’t Duan Ling Tian throwing away his advantage?”

“What the h.e.l.l is he thinking?”

Similarly, the Sword Trial Pavilion elder who was supervising the battle was also confused. He had no idea what Duan Ling Tian was thinking. Not only did Duan Ling Tian throw away his advantage, but he even revealed his weakness to his opponent.

On the other hand, Huang Lu Nan who had just been brutally suppressed by Duan Ling Tian felt as though his anger had been vented when he saw this. He sneered when he saw Duan Ling Tian acting so arrogantly. ‘Duan Ling Tian is really seeking death. Does he think Senior Brother Liu Jian’s strength is like his?’

At the same time, Lei Jun turned to look at Huan’er and said with a faint smile on his face, “Third Junior Sister, it seems like your Big Brother Ling Tian isn’t very smart.”

Although Huan’er did not pay any more attention to Lei Jun, he did not give up trying to engage her in a conversation. Although he did not receive any response from her, he was happy to amuse himself. After all, he was rejoicing inwardly at this moment. How could he not be happy that Duan Ling Tian was making such a stupid mistake? After all, this only meant that Duan Ling Tian’s chances of dying had grown even higher.

However, after a while, with the continuous lack of response from Huan’er, Lei Jun could not help but feel slightly angry. Naturally, he would not direct his anger at Huan’er so he could only vent his anger on Duan Ling Tian. For this reason, he sent Liu Jian a Voice Transmission. “Liu Jian! Don’t waste time; seize the chance and kill him immediately! If you succeed, I’ll reward you with a purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon.”

A purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon was considered a rare treasure even in a heaven-grade force. In the Heavenly Pool Palace, one would only be granted a purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon once one had become a Celestial Emperor. Apart from that, one would also be granted a purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon if one contributed greatly to the Heavenly Pool Palace or performed extremely well during an a.s.sessment.

However, it had to be said that although the Heavenly Pool Palace was selective when granting purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons to their disciples, it did not mean that the Heavenly Pool Palace lacked purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons.

Needless to say, for someone like Lei Jun who was the son of a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor in the Heavenly Pool Palace, he was not lacking in purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapons. His mother, Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor and the Pavilion Master of the Sword Trial Pavilion, had long given him a purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. After he had broken through and became a Celestial Emperor, he was again given another purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. Apart from that, he was also given another one after performing brilliantly in an a.s.sessment 100 years ago. Therefore, as far as he was concerned, it was nothing to give Liu Jian a purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. It only meant that he had one less thing in his Spatial Ring.

On the other hand, for someone like Liu Jian who did not own a purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, owning one meant that he had another life-saving treasure in his a.r.s.enal. Therefore, his eyes brightened as soon as he heard Lei Jun’s Voice Transmission. He had already planned to kill Duan Ling Tian as long as the chance presented itself. However, upon hearing Lei Jun’s Voice Transmission, he grew even more determined to kill Duan Ling Tian. He had no idea how Duan Ling Tian had offended Lei Jun, but it did not matter to him. What mattered the most now was to kill Duan Ling Tian and obtain the purely defensive Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon that he yearned for even in his dreams.

At this moment, a cold smile appeared on Liu Jian’s face when he s.h.i.+fted his eyes back to Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, to think you threw away your advantage and choose to fight me in an enclosed s.p.a.ce… You must be really confident about your strength…”

Although the restrictions in the Restraining Profundity’s spatial prison would not affect Duan Ling Tian much, it would still affect him slightly. This meant that his Teleportation Profundity, his advantage, would be affected as well. For example, if Duan Ling Tian were to teleport out of the spatial prison now, it would take him two breaths to do so. Two breaths were more than enough for Liu Jian to do many things, or so Liu Jian thought.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Liu Jian’s words, Duan Ling Tian only said indifferently, “You’re worthy of being Huang Lu Nan’s senior brother; you’re both really similar. Earlier, your junior brother was also certain of his victory. Alas, what was his outcome?”

Liu Jian sneered. “What? You think I’ll share the same outcome as my junior brother? If my junior brother weren’t careless and let you seize the opportunity, it wouldn’t have been so easy for you to beat him!”

Earlier, Duan Ling Tian had intentionally prolonged his battle with Liu Jian to test his profundities from the law of s.p.a.ce. However, in Liu Jian’s eyes, it seemed like the battle had dragged on because Duan Ling Tian was not able to quickly defeat his junior brother. Therefore, he did not think Duan Ling Tian was powerful at all.

Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly, “You’re talking rubbish. Hurry up and make your move.”

Swoos.h.!.+

“If that’s what you desire!” Liu Jian seemed to have turned into a streak of golden light as he shot toward Duan Ling Tian. When he drew closer to Duan Ling Tian, the streak of golden light seemed to have transformed into a golden sword ray. It looked unstoppable and invincible.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly before his figure moved at the speed of lightning. A turbulent energy swept out immediately.

At the same time, nine spatial tears appeared around Duan Ling Tian. At the same time, the s.p.a.ce around Liu Jian’s golden sword ray turned volatile. Spatial energies that seemed like little snakes attacked the golden sword ray as the golden sword ray reaped the lives of the little snakes.

“Magnetic Storm Profundity!” With just a thought from Duan Ling Tian, the spatial energies that resembled little snakes suddenly turned into huge pythons! Just a few bolts of the spatial energies struck the golden sword ray, but it was enough to cause the golden sword ray, which seemed unaffected by the spatial energies just a moment ago, to dim.

Liu Jian’s eyes narrowed slightly. ‘It’s quite surprising that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended so many profundities to the mastery stage. Unfortunately, this ends now…’

Up until now, Liu Jian had only used a small portion of his strength. He had held back so he could deliver the killing blow when Duan Ling Tian least expected it.
