In a daze, Tang Chen seemed to see a Divine Dragon appear as Qi Ling threw a punch, roaring angrily at him before attacking him.
Tang Chen's expression changed drastically. Although he had just attacked Qi Ling with his fist, Qi Ling's punch now was far more powerful than his previous one. If he didn't take precautions, he might be seriously injured.
Without time to think, Tang Chen held the blood sword horizontally to his chest, using the blade to block Qi Ling's fist. But the power of Qi Ling's punch was not so easy to withstand. The fist, carrying the blood sword, struck Tang Chen's chest directly, sending him flying.
After knocking Tang Chen away with a single punch, Qi Ling laughed and said, "Phew, it really feels best to punch someone!"
Although the attack was powerful, Qi Ling knew that with the Blood Sword as a buffer, Tang Chen might not have suffered much damage, and she had no need to worry about him.
As expected, Tang Chen quickly stood up as well, but this time Qi Ling didn't wait for Tang Chen to counterattack. This wasn't child's play; there was no such thing as one person making a single move.
Qi Ling then raised her hand, and more than ten small golden arrows formed around her. Following Qi Ling's command, they were simultaneously shot towards Tang Chen, who had just stood up.
Tang Chen did not disappoint Qi Ling. Faced with Qi Ling's pursuit, he simply raised his greatsword and swung it into the air, instantly knocking down all the arrows.
"Oh? Not bad, experience really pays off!" Qi Ling said with a smile, then took out her Hou Yi Bow, drew the bowstring, and asked, "So, what about this one? Senior Tang Chen, can you stop it?"
As soon as he spoke, Qi Ling shot an arrow. The arrow flew towards Tang Chen with the force of a rainbow, forcing him to raise his greatsword to block it. But this time, the heavy feeling in his hand made Tang Chen feel as if he had not blocked an arrow, but rather as if he had blocked a full-force attack from Qi Ling!
Having barely managed to block Qi Ling's attack, Tang Chen was surprised to discover that Qi Ling had changed from a warrior to an archer, and the divine bow in his hand was terrifyingly powerful.
Without thinking about how Qi Ling did it, Tang Chen only knew that if he didn't close the distance between them, he would only be passively beaten!
Tang Chen immediately attacked Qi Ling Qi Ling, but instead of charging straight at her, he used the surrounding cover to advance towards Qi Ling in a roundabout way.
In Tang Chen's view, doing this would definitely confuse Qi Ling's vision, preventing him from aiming at him, and even if Qi Ling did aim at him, he could use obstacles to avoid him.
But to everyone's surprise, Qi Ling couldn't help but laugh when she saw Tang Chen's expression, and then said helplessly, "Senior Tang Chen, aren't you underestimating me too much? You don't really think you can avoid my attack by doing this, do you?"
Then, Qi Ling made a move that surprised Tang Chen immensely: after drawing his bow and nocking the arrow, he actually closed his eyes, preparing to fire.
How can you shoot without looking at your target? Qi Ling quickly gave Tang Chen the answer. The arrow, carrying immense momentum, actually destroyed all obstacles in its path, carving its own way to reach Tang Chen!
He cleared away all obstacles, but the arrow's power did not diminish in the slightest. Tang Chen had no choice but to stop and raise his greatsword to block Qi Ling's attack.
The arrows shot from Hou Yi Bow were extremely difficult to dodge, so Tang Chen had virtually no way to advance by dodging and could only use his blood sword to block them.
While doing so would block Qi Ling's attacks, it would force Tang Chen to stop moving. If this continued, Tang Chen would have no chance of catching up with Qi Ling and would simply be kited to death by him.
"This won't do, we can't keep blocking like this!" Tang Chen thought to himself. "We have to break this stalemate. It seems we have no choice but to take a gamble!"
So, after Qi Ling shot her next arrow, Tang Chen didn't stop. Instead, he charged towards Qi Ling at full speed without making any defensive moves.
Qi Ling was shocked to see that Tang Chen hadn't defended himself. Her arrow was aimed at Tang Chen's head. With the power of Hou Yi Bow, even if Tang Chen was Demigod, he would still die if he didn't defend himself!
However, Tang Chen clearly wouldn't court death; he had his own reasons for doing so!
Just as the arrow was flying towards Tang Chen's brow, a white force suddenly concentrated and appeared, blocking the arrow. The two forces countered each other, actually neutralizing the arrow's power!
As the arrow from Hou Yi Bow disappeared into the air, Qi Ling was slightly startled. She recognized the power Tang Chen was using—it was the power of the Divine Slaughter's Domain!
By concentrating the power of the Divine Slaughter's Domain into a single point, Tang Chen created a powerful defensive capability capable of countering Hou Yi Bow! Qi Ling had never imagined such a way of utilizing the Divine Slaughter's Domain's extreme offensive power to transform it into defensive capabilities.
"As expected of a man who could almost become a god on his own! He's truly capable!" Qi Ling exclaimed in admiration.
However, this gave Tang Chen an opportunity to break through, and he immediately appeared in front of Qi Ling Qi Ling, attacking her with his blood-red greatsword.
Meanwhile, Qi Ling had already put away Hou Yi Bow and taken out the Xuanyuan Sword again. She and Tang Chen exchanged sword blows, locked in a fierce battle, with neither side gaining the upper hand for a time.
Qian Renxue, Xiao Wu, and Hu Liena, who were standing to the side, were all stunned by the battle between Tang Chen and Qi Ling! The momentum of their fight was so great that it was almost awe-inspiring. The power emanating from the mere clash of their moves was enough to overwhelm them. Fortunately, Qian Renxue was there, and they were not injured.
But if the two continued fighting like this, it was uncertain when it would end. So Qi Ling took a few steps back and said, "Senior Tang Chen, I think we shouldn't waste any more time. If we keep fighting like this, who knows when we'll be able to determine a winner?"
"Let's settle this in the next move! After this move, we must stop no matter what. In return, I can tell you something about the Clear Sky Sect, how about it?"
Tang Chen was still hesitant at first, but after hearing the news about the Clear Sky Sect, he thought it over again and agreed. Moreover, he also felt that it would be difficult for the two of them to determine a winner in a short period of time.
Through his fight with Qi Ling, Tang Chen regained his senses. In particular, Qi Ling's Nine Heavens Dragon Roar, besides making him dizzy, also used that power to completely sober him up from his killing intent.
After regaining his senses, Tang Chen realized that possessing the Divine Slaughter's Domain didn't necessarily mean one was from the Slaughter City. It was just a power that didn't prove anything.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's settle this in the next move!" Tang Chen said, but the blood sword in his hand changed again, transforming back into the Clear Sky Hammer! This undoubtedly shows that Tang Chen's strongest move still relies on his Clear Sky Hammer.
