Chapter 3165: Futile Effort

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Liu Ji...” Duan Ling Tian recognized the man who suddenly appeared before him immediately. When he eliminated Liu Ji last month, he did not even need to borrow the strength of the Five Divine Elements. He had swiftly and easily eliminated Liu Ji with his own strength. Naturally, he knew the elimination was so swift partly because Liu Ji had been careless. It was too late for Liu Ji when Liu Ji realized he had underestimated Duan Ling Tian.

“Liu Ji?” Wan Qing Qing had come to a halt in the distance when Duan Ling Tian stopped moving as well. Since she was standing far away and also because Liu Ji did not bother to scan his surroundings, he did not notice her presence.

“He wants to kill Duan Ling Tian?” She could hear the two men’s conversation even though she was standing far away. She was rendered speechless by Liu Ji’s words. Liu Ji was not even as powerful as she was, but he thought he could kill Duan Ling Tian? If she was capable of killing or defeating Duan Ling Tian, would Heng Feng even be eliminated?

“It seems like the rumors are true. Liu Ji doesn’t have the best character, and he’s not very popular in the Han Qing Mansion. News has already spread about us working together and eliminating the Magic Cloud Mansion’s Yun Yan, but it’s clear no one has informed him about it... Moreover, it seems like he’s also unaware that you’ve eliminated the Fire Glaze Mansion’s Tan Yuan...” Wan Qing Qing sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian. She had come to this conclusion because she knew if Liu Ji were aware of all these things, he would not dare to act so arrogantly in front of Duan Ling Tian.

“I’d like to see how you’re planning to kill me.” Duan Ling Tian remained indifferent when faced with Liu Ji’s killing intent.

Duan Ling Tian’s indifference further enraged Liu Ji. “You won’t be as lucky this time around!”

As soon as Liu Ji finished speaking, he charged at Duan Ling Tian, shrouded in green energy, like a predator lunging at its prey.

Swoosh Swoosh! Swoosh!

Numerous wind blades appeared in the air immediately.

Liu Ji moved at top speed as he charged out with the wind blades. He had cast all the profundities from the law of wind he had comprehended in his first attack.

The wind blades fell on Duan Ling Tian like the rain.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian unhurriedly raised one of his hands.

A crisp sound rang in the air as a spatial tear appeared in front of the wind blades.

Swoosh!

A grey sword ray shot out and circled Duan Ling Tian as it pulsed with energy. Soon enough, a golden flame surged out and shrouded the grey sword ray.

At this point, the wind blades were less than 10 meters away from Duan Ling Tian. Although they were in Duan Ling Tian’s Space Territory that contained the law of space’s Distortion Profundity, it could not completely nullify the fierce wind blades. For a moment, it seemed as though the wind blades had the advantage as they continued to advance.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ji smirked. It was as though he could already see the scene of Duan Ling Tian dying.

“Go.” Despite the wind blades being in close proximity to him, Duan Ling Tian remained nonchalant. He waved his hand again as the grey sword ray shot out like a bolt of lightning.

Swoosh!

The golden flames surged angrily from the grey sword ray as it sailed in the air, looking immensely powerful.

Soon enough, it collided with the numerous wind blades. The two forces seemed to be at a stalemate for a brief moment. Then, the golden flames slowly dimmed, and the wind blades were completely destroyed.

Liu Ji’s eyes widened in shock, disbelief, and horror as he cried out, “Impossible!”

The grey saber ray continued on its flight toward Liu Ji as Liu Ji watched on helplessly. No matter how impossible it seemed, he could not deny the truth before his eyes. His energy surged as he mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the Wind Elemental Profundity, trying to dodge the grey sword ray.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Liu Ji moved like the wind and narrowly escaped the grey sword ray. However, before he could catch his breath, his expression changed drastically. At this moment, he saw a figure appeared a few dozen meters away from him like a ghost.

It was none other than Duan Ling Tian who had teleported close to Liu Ji.

‘Restraining Profundity!’ Before Liu Ji reacted, Duan Ling Tian cast the law of space’s Restraining Profundity to confine Liu Ji.

“You think you’re able to restrain me? How funny!” Liu Ji quickly regained his composure despite being held captive in Duan Ling Tian’s space. He sneered as the green energy around him stirred before forming hundreds and thousands of wind blades.

As soon as the wind blades shot out, the outline of the invisible cage that held Liu Ji burned with a golden flame, illuminating its outline. The golden flames were translucent so Duan Ling Tian and Liu Ji could still see each other.

“It’s time to end this.”

As soon as the golden flames appeared on the edges of the space, Wan Qing Qing knew the fight was about to end. Therefore, she appeared next to Duan Ling Tian.

“Wan Qing Qing?!” Liu Ji was taken aback when he saw Wan Qing Qing appearing next to Duan Ling Tian. It seemed like she had no intention of attacking Duan Ling Tian at all. His expression changed drastically. It was not hard to figure out that Wan Qing Qing and Duan Ling Tian were working together.

The wind blades raged in the space Liu Ji was confined in. They attacked the prison ceaselessly.

Alas, even after Liu Ji exerted all his strength, the prison remained firm. Shock, disbelief, and fear flitted across his face. ‘How is this possible?! How’s Duan Ling Tian so powerful?’

If he had known Duan Ling Tian was so powerful, he would not have made a fuss when he saw Duan Ling Tian despite how much he hated Duan Ling Tian for eliminating him last month.

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Liu Ji and said tonelessly, “Even the Fire Glaze Mansion’s Tan Yuan couldn’t break free, do you really think you’d be able to break free?”

“T-tan Yuan?” Liu Ji’s body stiffened upon hearing these words. ‘Y-you... You eliminated Tan Yuan?”

The Fire Glaze Mansion’s Tan Yuan usually ranked in the top ten on the scoreboard. The few times he had run into Tan Yuan, he was eliminated by Tan Yuan. Although his speed was not inferior to Tan Yuan’s speed, Tan Yuan was stronger than him.

“Why are you so uninformed? Currently, almost everyone outside and possibly inside of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm knows about this... Did no one inform you about it? Do you not know that I currently have more than 300 points, and I rank 8th on the scoreboard?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he feigned surprise.

With every word Duan Ling Tian said, Liu Ji’s face darkened even more. His attacks had unconsciously weakened as well.

At this moment, Wan Qing Qing chimed in, “I rank 7th at this moment. However, it’s all due to his help that I’m able to rise so high. We even joined forces to eliminate the Magic Cloud Mansion’s Yun Yan.”

Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback that Wan Qing Qing had spoken up. After spending time with her, he knew she was a taciturn person. However, despite her cold demeanor, he knew she was a warm person inside. Even then, he did not expect her to speak up.

As soon as Wan Qing Qing finished speaking, Liu Ji stopped attacking immediately as he hastily brought out his Accumulative Point Jade.

Alas, before Liu Ji could shatter his Accumulative Point Jade and leave the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, a green figure shot toward him at a frightening speed.

Whoosh!

At this moment, it felt as though time stood still.

Before Liu Ji could shatter his Accumulative Point Jade, the green figure had snatched it away from him.

Swoosh!

Wan Qing Qing’s afterimage had not disappeared when she appeared next to Duan Ling Tian again with Liu Ji’s Accumulative Point Jade in her hands.

Before Wan Qing Qing revealed herself, Duan Ling Tian had already reminded her to keep a close eye on Liu Ji. He had instructed her to snatch Liu Ji’s Accumulative Point Jade away if Liu Ji tried to shatter it. She was not confident she could stop Liu Ji in time from a distance so she had moved to stand next to Duan Ling Tian. At this distance, she was confident she would be able to snatch the Accumulative Point Jade away before Liu Ji could do anything.

From the moment she appeared next to Duan Ling Tian, she had been watching Liu Ji closely. As soon as she saw Liu Ji bringing out his Accumulative Point Jade and was about to shatter it, she easily snatched it away from him!
