1109 Instant Kill

The Lakon experts below the stage, despite the isolation caused by the territory barrier, had already sensed that something was amiss.

On the surface, Ding Sheng had been continually pressuring Liu Yan's attacks. But, in reality, his full-powered assault had consumed a significant amount of energy without breaking through the opponent's defense, yielding no fruitful results.

In this battle, Ding Sheng was playing the passive role, with Liu Yan holding the initiative. After all, if Liu Yan wanted to defend, he could maintain a defensive stance until the opportune moment to counterattack.

However, only the Lakon experts below the stage could perceive this dynamic.

On the stage, Ding Sheng, who was immersed in the ongoing battle, was already too focused that he couldn't notice this.

At this moment, Ding Sheng was single-mindedly thinking that Liu Yan was not as good as himself but still dared to look down on him.

Ding Sheng only aimed to prove himself and defeat Liu Yan, completely oblivious to the fact that, as the battle persisted, his advantage was gradually slipping away.

Despite Liu Yan maintaining a composed exterior and a defensive posture, he was the one controlling the flow of the battle. Observing this, the Lakon experts below the stage were aware that Liu Yan had the opportunity to conceal his true strength and use the combat strength of an early-stage 19-star to deal with Ding Sheng, who possessed the combat strength of a late-stage 19-star.

This strategic advantage stemmed from Liu Yan's rich combat experience and tactical versatility.

In reality, Ding Sheng also possessed substantial combat experience gained from countless battles.

However, in his current state of distraction, Ding Sheng lacked the capacity for thoughtful analysis.

Liu Yan continued his defensive strategy. However, on the surface, he remained in a defensive stance. In reality, he held the initiative.

As the battle progressed, Ding Sheng's assaults gradually waned in intensity. It was evident that Ding Sheng had expended considerable energy in his relentless attacks.

Liu Yan saw that the time was about right and planned to make a move.

Liu Yan had been defending the entire time, and Ding Sheng had gradually relaxed. He no longer paid attention to defending against Liu Yan's attacks but instead focused all his attention on his attacks.

Seizing the perfect moment, Liu Yan initiated an attack while Ding Sheng was exhausted from his fierce attack.

This marked the first offensive move from Liu Yan and Ding Sheng since the beginning of the battle.

The S-grade weapon, Blade of the Night, abruptly materialized in Liu Yan's hand.

"B-grade skill Backstab activated!"

Liu Yan's figure instantly disappeared from where he was and appeared behind Ding Sheng in an instant.

Ding Sheng immediately knew that something was wrong. However, his reaction was still a beat too slow. Just as he was about to defend himself, Liu Yan's S-grade weapon, Blade of the Night, had already pierced through Ding Sheng's back.

The angle of Liu Yan's stab was incredibly cunning, targeting Ding Sheng's heart.

If the strike landed, Ding Sheng would be instantly eliminated.

Despite wearing armor, especially with additional reinforcement around the heart area, it proved insufficient against the razor-sharp Blade of the Night.

As Ding Sheng attempted to defend himself, he gradually slumped to the ground!

Ding Sheng was instantly killed by Liu Yan.

Throughout the entire battle between Liu Yan and Ding Sheng, Liu Yan maintained a defensive stance from the start, refraining from launching any attacks.

In contrast, Ding Sheng's relentless assaults proved futile. Not only did he fail to inflict any lethal wounds on Liu Yan, but he also escaped unscathed from even minor injuries.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yan's initial strike precisely hit Ding Sheng's vital point, resulting in an instantaneous and fatal outcome!

The experts of Team Origin witnessed this scene without surprise.

They were well aware of Liu Yan's capabilities and knew that he could effortlessly kill Ding Sheng with his 19-star combat strength. The entire confrontation had been part of a calculated performance.

Observing Liu Yan effortlessly defeat Ding Sheng with only early-stage 19-star combat strength and without revealing the full extent of his abilities, the Team Origin experts couldn't help but express their admiration.

Lu Dajiang commented, "I thought Liu Yan would need to gradually reveal more of his strength to overcome Ding Sheng. I didn't anticipate that he could swiftly deal with Ding Sheng using only early-stage 19-star combat strength."

Wei Feng added, "Indeed, defeating Ding Sheng, who is at the late stage of 19-star, with early-stage 19-star combat strength is no easy feat. The captain's tactical approach is truly clever."

Huang Yuan praised, "Ding Sheng fell into the captain's trap from the beginning!"

Liu Qingrou chimed in, "The captain is quite cunning!"

Luo Wei remarked, "I have a lot to learn from the captain's battles."

Even the usually reserved Allen Smith nodded approvingly, saying, "Such combat techniques are truly ingenious. We should strive to learn more!"

Ye Yifan concluded, "The captain managed to finish off Ding Sheng by revealing only the combat strength of early-stage 19-

star. I believe Lakon's side won't immediately send out their top expert. The captain should still have an opportunity to deal with them!"

The Team Origin experts applauded Liu Yan, expressing their genuine happiness for his victory.

Indeed, in the nine previous battles, they had constantly been considering ways to quickly concede and exit the arena.

While it was a means of self-preservation, it was inevitable to feel some reluctance in their hearts when surrendering. Fortunately, in the recent battle, Captain Liu Yan elevated their spirits.

Liu Yan not only secured victory in this minor skirmish but did so with remarkable finesse. With only the combat strength of an early-stage 19-star, he successfully triumphed over Ding Sheng, who possessed the combat strength of a late-stage 19-

star.

Furthermore, he decisively dealt with Ding Sheng, ensuring that Ding Sheng would forever remain on the battleground and be unable to return to Lakon Territory!

As an enemy that the Origin Territory would have to face in the future if they could reduce the number of experts on Lakon Territory, it would undoubtedly weaken the strength of Lakon Territory. This was a good thing for the Origin Territory.

While the Origin Territory celebrated, the experts from Lakon Territory wore grim expressions.

As observers, a few Lakon experts had already discerned that the situation was amiss. They realized that if Ding Sheng persisted in this manner, he would undoubtedly succumb to Liu Yan.

It was just that they were helpless. With the barrier isolating them, they could not inform Ding Sheng either. They could only be anxious below.

Initially, they thought that Ding Sheng would lose to Liu Yan. At most, he would lose with injuries. They could still go up and finish off Liu Yan later.

However, what they did not expect was that not only did Liu Yan defeat Ding Sheng, but he also defeated Ding Sheng in an extremely clean and efficient manner. He even successfully dealt with Ding Sheng with one strike.

Lakon's experts could tolerate a minor setback or Ding Sheng sustaining injuries, but they couldn't accept Ding Sheng's direct demise on the battlefield.

He was a valuable expert for Lakon Territory, and nurturing such individuals was an arduous task. Losing an expert at this juncture would undoubtedly diminish the overall strength of Lakon Territory.

The nine experts from Lakon remained silent. No words were exchanged.

This outcome was truly unexpected for them. In the face of Origin Territory, which displayed an apparent disparity in strength, Lakon Territory had been enjoying consecutive victories just moments ago. Ding Sheng even exaggeratedly secured nine consecutive wins.

Yet, in the tenth skirmish, an unforeseen incident unfolded. Ding Sheng was swiftly struck down by the opposing force, meeting his demise on the battlefield.

At this juncture, the Will of Tower continued to announce the rewards.

"Team Origin secures victory in the tenth match. The reward is currently being randomly determined..."

"Random reward successful. Congratulations to Team Origin for obtaining a group reward. All members can allocate 3000 attribute points!"

"The next small battle is about to begin. Please dispatch the next participant from Lakon Territory!"
