Tang Chen looked at Qi Ling in front of him. For some reason, he felt that the killing intent he had just felt stimulated by the Divine Slaughter's Domain had diminished a lot, and he had even become much calmer.
Then Tang Chen realized that it wasn't that he had become calmer, but rather that he had become afraid when facing this boy!
That's right, it's fear! Tang Chen couldn't remember how many years it had been since he felt fear, or even what that feeling was like.
But this young man reminded him of fear once again! Because of his strength, his domineering nature, his confidence, and even more so of his innate kingly demeanor.
"What's wrong, Tang Chen? I said I wanted to fight you, why didn't you react? Are you not going to give me face?" Qi Ling said with dissatisfaction when she saw Tang Chen's expression. "Then, would you be more interested in fighting me?"
Immediately, Qi Ling released her own Divine Slaughter's Domain, and a cold and bone-chilling killing intent immediately spread out, enveloping Tang Chen within it.
Tang Chen was greatly surprised to see that Qi Ling had also mastered the Divine Slaughter's Domain. Moreover, Qi Ling's Divine Slaughter's Domain was so powerful that its killing intent was so strong that it was almost tangible. It was even comparable to the highest-level Divine Slaughter's Domain that Tang Chen had mastered in terms of the quality of killing intent.
This doesn't mean that Tang Chen's strength is inferior to Qi Ling's. In fact, Tang Chen feels that his strength is even greater. After all, with so many years of accumulation, Tang Chen can be said to be the man closest to a god.
But there are people like that in this world. Even if you are stronger than them, you don't feel like you can defeat them. Just standing in front of them feels like you've already lost.
Thinking of this, Tang Chen was stunned. He felt fear before even starting the fight. How could such a thing happen to him? It was simply impossible! If things continued like this, he might not even be able to fight this young man anymore!
"Alright, I'll accept your challenge!" Tang Chen said. "You're very strong, perhaps even stronger than Qian Daoliu, but I'm not the same person I used to be. Qian Daoliu's strength is now far inferior to mine."
"Oh, Qian Daoliu, there is such a person." Qi Ling suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Tang Chen, I've already killed him, twice."
Hearing that his greatest rival was dead, and that he had died at the hands of this very young man, even Tang Chen was stunned and couldn't believe it.
" Qian Daoliu is dead? He's actually dead?" Tang Chen muttered to himself, "How unpredictable life is. It seems he'll never have a chance to beat me."
" Qian Daoliu, did he really die at your hands?" Tang Chen couldn't help but ask again. Clearly, Tang Chen's feelings about the demise of his former rival were very complicated.
"That's right. Qian Daoliu had more than one chance to kill me before, and I have to admit, he might be the most difficult opponent I've ever faced," Qi Ling said. "But as you can see, I was the one who won in the end."
Tang Chen nodded and said, "That guy was despicable and shameless. I can imagine how you fought him. But even so, you still defeated him and killed him. So you should be stronger than him now, right?"
Qi Ling thought for a moment and said, "You could say that, but the reason I was able to defeat him was because I used power beyond reason and fought with my life on the line."
"Is that so?" Tang Chen suddenly laughed, "I've suddenly become interested in sparring with you! Qi Ling, right? Take this!"
As Tang Chen spoke, he suddenly launched an attack on Qi Ling. A gigantic blood sword descended from the sky, slashing directly at Qi Ling's head, seemingly about to cleave Qi Ling in two.
Fortunately, Qi Ling was prepared for this. She raised her Xuanyuan Sword and directly blocked the giant sword that was more than 30 meters long, thus stopping Tang Chen's attack.
However, even without a weapon, Tang Chen was still able to attack. He roared, black power surged from his hands, and then he clenched his fists and charged towards Qi Ling, punching him hard.
Qi Ling's attack on Tang Chen was not blocked, but rather impossible to block! The blood-red giant sword above his head was actually at a standstill with his own power, leaving him with no extra energy to block Tang Chen.
Undoubtedly, Qi Ling had been overconfident this time. He hadn't expected Tang Chen to be so strong, and the blood-red giant sword he was clashing with was clearly a powerful artifact.
The incredibly powerful punches struck Qi Ling's chest, instantly sending him flying. Qi Ling was sent flying a great distance, destroying countless trees along the way, before finally crashing into a giant rock and coming to a stop.
" Brother Qi!" Xiao Wu cried out anxiously when she saw Qi Ling fall. Tang Chen then sheathed his blood sword, restoring it to its original size, and said, "Don't worry, he won't die! Damn it, how can this brat be so tough!"
As he spoke, Tang Chen flexed his fingers slightly. The two punches he had landed on Qi Ling's chest hadn't delivered the expected impact; instead, it felt like he'd struck ancient iron, causing his hand to ache.
Following Tang Chen's words, Qi Ling immediately stood up from the ruins. He rubbed his chest, calming his breathing which Tang Chen had disrupted, and exclaimed, "Truly impressive! Judging from this one strike alone, you're already stronger than Qian Daoliu."
Tang Chen scoffed, "Really? I don't think so. I first ambushed you, then attacked your weak spot, and yet I didn't inflict the slightest damage. Kid, what are you made of? Iron essence?"
"Hehe, am I only comparable to Iron Essence? That would be too disheartening for me." Qi Ling laughed. "Senior Tang Chen, get ready, you attacked me just now, and I'm going to retaliate! Without holding back."
Tang Chen secretly prepared himself and said, "Okay, go ahead!"
So Qi Ling stopped being polite. To Tang Chen's surprise, Qi Ling's starting move was actually a dragon's roar!
Under the " Nine Heavens Dragon Roar," a forced stun effect is produced. Any opponent whose Spiritual Power is not higher than Qi Ling's, even a god, will be forced to stun under this move, and Tang Chen is no exception.
In that instant, Qi Ling clenched her right fist and threw a punch at Tang Chen, filling it with all her strength.
