The young Imperial Venerable's body was almost falling apart, drenched in blood. Even the white bones at his temples were exposed, making him look utterly miserable!
Yet the first thing he did after getting back up was not heal his injuries. Instead, with his hair disheveled, he widened his eyes and shouted furiously:
"Impossible! You're clearly only at the Dao Ancestor realm. How could you unleash such combat power?"
Although he couldn't distinguish Li Tianming's exact realm, he could still sense from his life level that Li Tianming's major realm was that of a Dao Ancestor.
That made it even harder for him to believe. He loudly demanded, "What did you use?!"
Faced with the young Imperial Venerable's questioning, Li Tianming's eyes blazed as he slightly raised his head.
"I have too many people and things to protect, and the mission I bear is far too heavy."
"And you?"
"You're nothing but a plunderer, a false mediocrity who relies entirely on your family's reputation and possesses not the slightest ability of your own. Is it really strange that you couldn't defeat me?"
The instant his words fell, the masses erupted!
All the Divine Treasury Clan members and Destiny Army soldiers cheered excitedly!
"That's exactly right! Everyone says Governor Li is arrogant, so why does no one say the young Imperial Venerable is arrogant?"
"If he didn't have his family backing him, he would have died eight hundred times over against Governor Li!"
"Besides, Governor Li isn't fighting alone. Every one of us is his solid support!"
"Governor Li will win!"
The Divine Treasury Clan members were all tremendously excited. After seeing Li Tianming forcefully counter the young Imperial Venerable and gain a clear advantage, all their earlier worries vanished without a trace!
