War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

4367 A Life-Or-Death Battle

Wu Cang and the Centurions were curious as to why their lord, the Crimson Demon, was giving Duan Ling Tian false hope. They did not believe the ruthless Crimson Demon would be so kind.

The few Centurions could not help but speculate inwardly.

‘Perhaps, he’s bored…’

‘Maybe he’s jealous that he wasn’t as strong as the young man when he was at the young man’s age… Perhaps, that’s why he wants to toy with the young man before making the young man his puppet…’

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian could not wait for the Crimson Demon to state his condition so he could fulfill it and leave Crimson Demon Ridge.

“I won’t make you my puppet and I’ll allow you to leave Crimson Demon Ridge if you’re able to kill someone,” the Crimson Demon said.

Wu Cang and the Centurions quickly guessed that the Crimson Demon must want Duan Ling Tian to kill an advanced Supreme God comparable to Wu Cang.

In Wu Cang’s opinion, although Duan Ling Tian was strong, their strength was on par. It was impossible for them to kill one or the other.

“Who is it?” Duan Ling Tian asked solemnly. It was against his principles to kill indiscriminately. However, this was his only way to escape from this supreme powerhouse and survive now. It would be over for him if he became the Crimson Demon’s puppet.

“Kill him,” the Crimson Demon said nonchalantly as he casually pointed to the side.

Duan Ling Tian looked in the direction where the Crimson Demon pointed and found that the target was Wu Cang.

Before Wu Cang regained his senses, the other Centurions finally confirmed that the Crimson Demon had no intention of letting Duan Ling Tian leave at all. After all, how was it possible for an intermediate Supreme God to kill Wu Cang, the Crimson Demon’s personal demon guard, who was a top advanced Supreme God?

When Wu Cang regained his senses, he instinctively looked at the Crimson Demon with a respectful expression.

The Crimson Demon looked at Wu Cang and said slowly, “If you survive the battle with him, I’ll forgive your mistake and let the matter go. If you die, it only proves that you’re trash.”

Wu Cang’s eyes brightened upon hearing the Crimson Demon’s words. He hastily said, “Thank you, my lord!”

Wu Cang was obviously confident about his strength. He knew Duan Ling Tian was an intermediate Supreme God and had a profound comprehension of the law of time and the law of space. Apart from that, he also knew about Duan Ling Tian’s two doppelgangers from the law of time and the law of space and Duan Ling Tian’s high attainment in the Sword Dao. With his bloodline power and prime divine artifact, he was on par with Duan Ling Tian.

In Wu Cang’s opinion, the Crimson Demon was giving him a way out.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brows upon hearing the Crimson Demon’s words. Wu Cang was rather powerful, after all. It was impossible for him to kill Wu Cang without borrowing the powers of the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements. Previously, he managed to gain the upper hand and escaped briefly because he managed to catch Wu Cang off guard. After all, Wu Cang was unaware of the extent of his strength, and most importantly, Wu Cang had yet to use his bloodline power.

“Bring it on, boy!” Wu Cang said as he rose to his feet in the air and faced Duan Ling Tian expressionlessly.

Duan Ling Tian sighed as he turned to face Wu Cang and said, “I had no intention to kill you, but I’m left with no other choice.”

Wu Cang sneered. “Are you saying you’re able to kill me? Do you think you’re able to kill me just because you managed to gain a slight upper hand previously? What a joke! I didn’t even go all out!”

As Wu Cang spoke, his Divine Energy, blood qi, and law of thunder began to brew and merge, emitting a powerful aura. Lightning bolts began to flash along the edge of his long saber, which was a prime divine artifact, causing the void around it to ripple.

Upon seeing this, the Centurion began to discuss it among themselves through Voice Transmission.

“Lord Cang is going all out!”

“This is a life-or-death battle!”

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian shook his head slightly. He did not dare to be rash during a life-or-death battle.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Suddenly, two doppelgangers shot out from Duan Ling Tian’s body. One of them was surrounded by a terrifying spatial energy. As for the other one, it looked ordinary but the Divine Energy around it caused its surroundings to freeze and speed up in intervals. Even the wind was not spared from its Divine Energy. These two doppelgangers were from Duan Ling Tian’s law of space and law of time. The two doppelgangers held a prominent divine sword with a complete soul, a weapon that was only second to prime divine artifacts, each in their hands.

There were different grades among prominent divine artifacts, depending on how many fragments of prime divine artifacts they had absorbed. As for the prominent divine artifacts in Duan Ling Tian’s doppelgangers’ hands, they had not absorbed any fragments of prime divine artifacts. After all, he only had enough fragments of prime divine artifacts for his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. The two souls of the doppelgangers’ prominent divine artifacts were naturally envious of Huang’er, but they did not dare to utter a word about it. After all, Huang’er was the first to follow Duan Ling Tian among them.

Duan Ling Tian pointed the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword at Wu Cang as he looked at Wu Cang indifferently and asked, “Do you think I’m unaware that you didn’t go all out earlier? Perhaps, you should ask yourself if I went all out earlier.”

Wu Cang’s expression changed slightly. After a brief moment, he said with a scoff, “Are you trying to deceive me?”

In Wu Cang’s opinion, it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to have hidden his strength earlier. If Duan Ling Tian had more tricks up his sleeve, Duan Ling Tian would not have to use his law of time and his doppelganger from the law of space to hold him back and flee at the critical moment.

On the contrary, the supreme powerhouse, the Crimson Demon, looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully as he thought to himself, ‘It seems like he still has hidden means…’

The Crimson Demon’s eyes flashed with excitement when he thought about this. It seemed like the person he had been waiting for years had finally shown up.
