Chapter 3803 - Threat

This was not Fang Wen Xiao's first match. Before this, he had defeated his opponent with three moves. He was an advanced King of Gods, and he comprehended the law of metal. To a certain extent, his strength had also been underestimated by the elders of the Flying Dragon Sect.

"Young Master Fang, I've heard much about you as well," Duan Ling Tian said politely with a nod. Although he wanted to finish the fight as soon as possible, since the other party was rather polite, he could only return the courtesy.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian's words fell, Fang Wen Xiao's Divine Energy surged out at once. Clearly, he had already mobilized his Divine Energy earlier. A dazzling light suffused his body immediately. Following that, a hint of blood-red light appeared as well, indicating he had activated his bloodline power.

Swoosh!

A dazzling golden sword ray flew toward Duan Ling Tian, leaving ripples in its wake.

Fang Wen Xiao's actions were quick and decisive, which surprised everyone.

Most of the spectators did not even react in time. When they regained their senses, they naturally could tell Fang Wen Xiao wanted to catch Duan Ling Tian off guard.

"It seems like Fang Wen Xiao is quite wary of Duan Ling Tian. He tried to distract Duan Ling Tian earlier before he suddenly attacked. The force of his attack now is also much stronger than his attacks during his previous match."

"He's going all out."

"His opponent is just an intermediate King of Gods. There's no need for him to go all out, right?"

"Even Du Po Jun, a core disciple of the 10,000 Devils Sect, said he was not confident he could defeat Duan Ling Tian. Fang Wen Xiao is likely weaker than Du Po Jun. Do you still think Fang Wen Xiao shouldn't go all out?"

"Even if he's weaker than Du Po Jun, it's not by much."

"Even then, if Du Po Jun isn't sure he could defeat Duan Ling Tian, how could Fang Wen Xiao be sure he could defeat Duan Ling Tian? It's only natural for Fang Wen Xiao to go all out!"

"He's quite smart by using this method to attack Duan Ling Tian."

The majority of the spectators thought Fang Wen Xiao was rather smart and knew how to act according to the situation. However, there was a minority who thought he was despicable.

"Fang Wen Xiao didn't launch a surprise attack earlier. He changed his style completely."

"Duan Ling Tian is too powerful. It's only natural that Fang Wen Xiao would change his strategy."

"If I were him, I would've done the same."

"That's right."

Meanwhile, Ding Yan, Hou Qing Ning, and Murong Yin Yue's expressions turned gloomy when they saw Fang Wen Xiao's sudden attack.

Hou Qing Ning could not help but cry out, "How despicable and shameless!"

On the contrary, the three Supreme Elders of the Linghu clan remained calm.

Linghu Huan looked at Fang Wen Xiao with a sneer as he said, "He thinks he can catch Duan Ling Tian off guard? Keep dreaming!"

Linghu Huan was not worried about Duan Ling Tian at all even if Duan Ling Tian was truly caught off guard. After all, he knew that Duan Ling Tian possessed 99 Heavenly Veins. With 99 Heavenly Veins, Duan Ling Tian could release his Divine Energy in just a blink of an eye. No one could compare to him in this regard. Moreover, he knew Duan Ling Tian was very cautious, and it would not be easy to catch Duan Ling Tian off guard. How could someone who had planned the murders of Supreme Elders Feng and Lei's disciples so meticulously be easy to trick?

…

In the battle ring.

"Trying to catch me off guard?" Duan Ling Tian smirked. His expression remained unchanged when faced with Fang Wen Xiao's lightning-speed attack.

Duan Ling Tian lifted his hand, and the prominent divine artifact he had lent Hou Qing Ning earlier appeared. This was also the prominent divine artifact that Linghu Huan lent him.

'Since you dare to launch a sneak attack on me, don't blame me for not showing mercy.'

With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian's Divine Energy burst forth, stirring up a spatial storm. After the spatial energy surged into the sword, the sword shot out.

Swoosh!

The prominent divine sword that was imbued with spatial energy was much stronger than Fang Wen Xiao's attack. It contained the rudimentary Sword Dao, after all.

Duan Ling Tian also manifested his law of space's doppelganger that boosted the few triple Fused Profundities he had launched. However, he let the doppelganger stay in his body.

The law of space's doppelganger could hide and leave its host body freely. This meant it could independently attack the opponent and also boost its host's strength when it was in its host body. Compared to the boost it gave its host when it was in the host's body, it was more powerful if it left its host's body to attack.

Although Duan Ling Tian's doppelganger was in his body, he could still easily crush Fang Wen Xiao's attack.

Bang!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian and Fang Wen Xiao's attacks collided with a thunderous bang. The aftershock rippled out into the surroundings before they were stopped by the Formation on the battle ring. With this, the spectators were completely unaffected.

The gray spatial energy and the dazzling golden light were at a stalemate for only a brief moment before the gray spatial energy devoured the golden energy."Search newn0vel.0rg on google" Then, the gray spatial energy continued flying toward Fang Wen Xiao.

Although the gray spatial energy had weakened quite a bit after dealing with the golden energy, Fan Wen Xiao was still injured by it. He coughed and spat out blood continuously. He was sent flying, and when he crashed against the barrier of the battle ring, he slid down limply. He had clearly passed out. If it were not for the barrier supporting his body, he would have fallen to the ground completely.

At this time, a loud cry rang out.

"Xiao'er!"

The expression of a middle-aged man dressed in traditional Chinese clothing changed drastically. He immediately flew toward the battle ring to check on Fang Wen Xiao.

However, the middle-aged man was only halfway to the battle ring when a scoff rang in the air and a person suddenly appeared in front of him. The person attacked him with his palm.

Bang!

The middle-aged man in traditional Chinese clothing was sent flying with a loud bang. He flew about a few hundred meters back before he plummeted to the ground. He sprawled on the ground as blood trickled out of the corners of his mouth. Clearly, he was seriously injured. When he raised his head and saw the person who attacked him, not only was he afraid to lose his temper, but he even apologized profusely.

"Elder Dongfang, please forgive me. I acted rashly out of concern!"

Although the middle-aged man was the Clan Leader of the Fang clan, the Fang clan was just a lord-rank force like the Linghu clan and Murong clan. How could it compare to the emperor-rank Flying Dragon Sect? Even the Supreme Elders of the Fang clan might not be a match for Dongfang Yan Nian who was a White Dragon Elder, let alone someone like him who was only a rudimentary Lord of Gods.

Dongfang Yan Nian looked at the middle-aged man in traditional Chinese clothing and said frostily, "If you act rashly again, I won't spare your life."

The middle-aged man did not doubt Dongfan Yan Nian's words at all. He continued to apologize.

No one was allowed to interfere during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest.

The Clan Leader of the Fang clan might not intend to attack Duan Ling Tian, but as the White Elder Dragon in charge, how could Dongfang Nian take the risk and let him rush over?

Even if Dongfan Yan Nian did not make a move, the other White Dragon Elder next to him would have made a move. If none of them made a move, even Lan Yu Shan, a Black Dragon Elder, would have made a move.

If Lan Yu Shan were the one to make a move, the Clan Leader of the Fang clan would have died.

When the Clan Leader of the Fang clan saw the icy expression on Lan Yu Shan's face, he hurriedly apologize to Lan Yu Shan as well. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. Only when Lan Yu Shan looked away did he dare to sigh in relief.

Although the Fang clan had members in the Flying Dragon Sect, their highest ranking member was only a White Dragon Elder, after all. If he was killed by a Black Dragon Elder, no one would be able to avenge him.

Due to this dramatic interruption, the crowd's attention was not on Duan Ling Tian's shocking victory. It was only when the dust had settled that they turned their attention back to the elegant purple-clad young man.

"Duan Ling Tian's truly worthy of his reputation!"

"Is he really just an intermediate King of Gods?! Their strength difference is too wide!"

"How can an intermediate King of Gods defeat an advanced King of Gods with just a blow?"

"Duan Ling Tian's performance is even more shocking than Ding Yan's. Moreover, Ding Yan had used a prominent divine artifact, and Ding Yan's opponent didn't have a prominent divine artifact. However, both Duan Ling Tian and Fang Wen Xiao had used prominent divine artifacts."

Although Duan Ling Tian's performance during the qualifying test was outstanding, everyone was still shocked by this strength now. After all, those he faced at that time were only a group of young geniuses below the age of 5,000 years old. How could they compare to Fang Wen Xiao who was an advanced King of Gods from a lord-rank force? Moreover, Fang Wen Xiao was over 8,000 years old.

…

At this time, Hou Qing Ning looked at Duan Ling Tian with envy and bitterness on his face. He shook his head and sighed. "He's in the limelight again."

On the other hand, Ding Yan stared at Duan Ling Tian intently, unable to recover from the shock. He knew Duan Ling Tian was powerful, but he did not know it was to this extent.

…

Meanwhile, Du Qian Jun wore a sullen expression on his face as he muttered, "Damn it! If he didn't rob me of my chance in the Divine Sanctuary, I would be as strong as him now!"

Du Qian Jun's earlier defeat meant that he would not rank in the top 100. Only those who ranked in the top 100 would be rewarded.

Du Po Jun, who was standing next to Du Qian Jun, looked solemn.

Just like Du Po Jun, Hua Tian Du and many promising participants' expressions were solemn and sour when they discovered how great an obstacle the purple figure would be to them in the Latent Dragon Grand Contest.

…

At this moment, a frosty voice suddenly rang in Duan Ling Tian's ears, causing him to shiver slightly.

"Duan Ling Tian, if you dare to rank in the top 10 of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest, Linghu Ren Jie will surely die!"

Duan Ling Tian's expression changed slightly upon hearing this threat.
