Lei Zong swung his Lightning-Piercing Spear at Sun Yuan.
Bathed in the divine Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, he was as majestic as a war god of thunder.
Upon seeing this, the Lei Clan cultivators all smiled.
Ranged attacks combined with Lei Zong's close-quarters combat.
Even if Sun Yuan doesn't die this time, he will be seriously injured.
It was his overconfidence that led him to fail to interrupt Lei Zong's lightning attack.
The Lei Clan's powerful members had even envisioned the double prize coming their way.
"Die!"
At that moment, Lei Zong's Lightning-Piercing Spear pierced Sun Yuan's front.
Sun Yuan is wielding his flaming sword to defend against a lightning strike from the sky.
He had no choice but to suddenly swing his sword to repel the lightning in the air.
He then raised his sword to block the attack of the Lightning-Piercing Spear.
'Bang!'
The clash of spears and swords sparked bursts of light.
After a crisp impact, Lei Zong continued to exert force, giving Sun Yuan no chance to retreat.
The lightning, which had been knocked back from the sky, descended again.
With a loud 'boom'.
A bolt of lightning struck Sun Yuan on the head, causing his hand holding the flaming sword to tremble slightly.
Just as Lei Zong was about to unleash his flaming sword and attack Sun Yuan's body...
Sun Yuan steadied his sword in time and blocked Lei Zong's attack once again.
The Evil Avatar atop the mountain not far away shook its head helplessly upon seeing this scene.
"Even at this point, Sun Yuan is still hiding his strength."
He also understood that Sun Yuan wanted to enjoy the thrill of battle a little longer.
If things continue like this, Sun Yuan might end up at a disadvantage.
Once Lei Zong completely seizes the initiative in the battle...
It's highly likely that Sun Yuan will be defeated before he can even unleash his full power.
Losing some prize money is nothing.
But if we lose this battle...
That would also ruin the chance for the Battle Heaven Pavilion to prove its strength.
They couldn't even conquer the Sixth Heaven.
Then why continue to conquer the Fifth Heaven and Fourth Heaven?
How will they be able to enter the Third Heaven five years later?
Fortunately, Sun Yuan was aware of the great responsibility on his shoulders.
After being struck by several bolts of lightning in succession.
Sun Yuan's eyes suddenly changed.
Flame and ice, two extreme attributes, appeared simultaneously in his two eyes.
Sensing something amiss, Lei Zong exchanged a surprised glance with Sun Yuan.
In that single glance...
Lei Zong suddenly found himself as if he had been transported to another dimension.
Within an endless space of blazing flames.
The scorching heat made Lei Zong feel as if he were about to be roasted alive.
But just as he was emitting a fragrant aroma of meat...
Suddenly, a chill emanated from the space to his left.
Lei Zong turned his head to take a look.
Without him noticing, the space to his left had transformed into a world of ice.
In an instant, he experienced both extreme pain—cold on the left and hot on the right.
Lei Zong covered his body with the Origin of Lightning in an attempt to resist the effects of heat and cold.
For some reason, the two extreme energies seemed to completely ignore his Lightning Origin and continued to torment his body.
How is that possible?
Why is this happening?
Lei Zong couldn't understand why the attacks of cold and heat could penetrate his Origin of Lightning defenses.
He was deep in thought.
Two ferocious roars resounded in his ears almost simultaneously.
Lei Zong quickly glanced left and right.
Then a look of horror appeared on his face.
A fire qilin appeared in the blazing space on the right.
On the left, in the icy world, an ice crystal phoenix appeared.
As soon as the two colossal beasts appeared, they pounced directly at him.
No! No! No!
Lei Zong let out a series of terrified roars.
His inner fears caused him great turmoil.
Suddenly, a burning pain shot through my body.
The original world of water and fire has vanished.
Lei Zong looked around again.
They returned to God-Slaying Mountain.
Sun Yuan's flaming sword had somehow slashed past him.
Lei Zong looked down at the sword wound on his lower abdomen.
The intense heat of the flames even evaporated his blood as it gushed out.
'Whoosh!'
Before Lei Zong could react, the flaming longsword was instantly placed in front of his neck.
You lost.
Sun Yuan's icy voice rang in Lei Zong's ears.
Lei Zong stared at the flaming sword pressed against his neck, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How could I, who was clearly in the lead, suddenly lose?
Not only him, but even the powerful members of the Lei Clan not far away were dumbfounded.
It all happened in just a few seconds.
They clearly saw the lightning strike Sun Yuan repeatedly.
Lei Zong was also on the verge of breaking through Sun Yuan's defenses.
Lei Zong's victory was clearly within reach.
But why did Lei Zong suddenly lose his focus?
This gave Sun Yuan a chance to counterattack.
He was defeated by Sun Yuan in an instant.
"Could Lei Zong have teamed up with Sun Yuan to deliberately deceive our treasure?"
A powerful member of the Lei Clan couldn't help but ask.
However, this question was immediately met with opposition from the other powerful members of the Lei Clan.
"Impossible. Let's not even talk about the feud between our Lei Clan and the Battle Heaven Pavilion."
" Lei Zong himself had been in seclusion for some time, and only recently broke through to the Primordial Chaos Heaven Stage and emerged from seclusion."
"He didn't even have a chance to interact with Sun Yuan; this must have been their first meeting."
This explanation is quite reasonable.
"Can..."
The Lei Clan expert who had just posed the question wanted to say something more.
But someone spoke first, interrupting him.
Have you noticed?
"Just now, Sun Yuan's eyes suddenly displayed both water and fire colors."
"Following Lei Zong put me in a daze."
"I suspect Sun Yuan used some kind of supernatural power that we couldn't detect."
"We might not be able to tell with our current level of understanding, but the Saint Emperor and the others certainly do."
As soon as this person finished speaking, the eyes of the other Lei Clan experts lit up.
They've realized it.
This matter can be reported to the Saint Emperor.
This can be considered a contribution to ascertaining the strength of the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
If we could truly discover what powerful supernatural abilities Sun Yuan and Battle Heaven Pavilion possessed.
This is a great achievement.
The Saint Emperor must compensate them for the prizes they lost.
Having just summarized this information, the Lei Clan expert spoke again.
"When Lei Zong returns later, ask him what exactly happened, and we'll know what methods Sun Yuan used."
Don't forget our plans for five years from now.
"What does losing a few magical treasures and herbs matter at this moment?"
"As long as we defeat the Battle Heaven Pavilion in five years."
"These things will eventually belong to the Lei Clan."
The Lei Clan experts all nodded in agreement.
Then look towards Sun Yuan and Lei Zong.
As the flaming longsword landed on Lei Zong's shoulder.
Lei Zong lowered his head in dejection.
He knew he had lost.
Sun Yuan's sword strike just now could have killed him.
The reason he showed mercy was...
Perhaps it's just for good luck.
"I lost. All the promised prizes are in here."
Lei Zong flipped his hand and took out a storage ring, handing it to Sun Yuan.
" The Lei Clan truly lives up to its reputation as the leading force among the Eight Great Imperial Clans."
"It's definitely much more satisfying than some other races."
Sun Yuan chuckled as he accepted the storage ring, not forgetting to make a sarcastic remark about the Fire Clan.
