When Duan Ling Tian moved, apart from using the movement Divine Ability, the Golden Crow's Wings, he also used his movement martial tactic. Even then, his speed was not much faster than Yuwen Hao Chen's speed.
Yuwen Hao Chen's speed was almost as fast as Duan Ling Tian. This was due to his mastery of the body movement Divine Ability which was also an extraordinary Divine Ability. Moreover, his movement martial tactic was a level higher than Duan Ling Tian's movement martial tactic.
His speed is really fast!' Yuwen Hao Chen thought to himself as he chased after Duan Ling Tian, surprised by Duan Ling Tian's speed. Let alone the Human-Devil clan, even if it was among the Devil Clans, although he did not dare to proclaim he was the fastest, not many powerhouses who were not Eminent Celestials were a match for his speed. However, today he met someone who could match his speed. Not to mention that person was supposedly just an ordinary human.
"Halt!" After chasing Duan Ling Tian for a while, Yuwen Hao Chen discovered it would be difficult for him to catch up to Duan Ling Tian. He quickly raised his hand and his fingers grew claws as he reached out to grab Duan Ling Tian. Suddenly, five rays of light that were filled with Saint Origin shot out from his fingers like five meteors flying through the sky!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The five rays of light shot through the sky at great speed. Their speed was two times faster than Yuwen Hao Chen and Duan Ling Tian's speed. Within a few seconds, these five rays of light were already fast approaching Duan Ling Tian...
As the lights filled with Saint Origin drew even closer to Duan Ling Tian, each ray of light grew bigger as though they were turning into pillars that held up the sky. In just a flash, the five rays of light turned into a dozen or so pillars of lights. It did not take long before the pillars of lights numbered in the hundreds.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The hundreds of pillars of lights that were filled with Saint Origin flew in the sky. Its speed was so fast that it seemed as though it would cause the earth to split and the sky to fall.
What's this technique?' Duan Ling Tian who had extended his Divine Consciousness had detected the hundreds of pillars of lights that were fast approaching him from behind.
At this moment, these pillars arrived above Duan Ling Tian and began to form a huge cage to trap him! He did not even have time to react to this!
As soon as Duan Ling Tian was seemingly trapped in this huge prison, people began to exclaim in surprise one after another. It was clear they recognized this technique.
"Five Fingers Prison!"
From the discussions of the people in his surroundings, Duan Ling Tian learned that this technique was Yuwen Hao Chen.s assist-type Divine Ability, the Five Fingers Prison. Originally, this assist-type Divine Ability powerful. If someone else were to cast this Divine Ability, it would be easily deflected by someone with similar strength.
However, after Yuwen Hao Chen had mastered this assist-type Divine Ability, he made many improvements on it and even incorporated the offensive Divine Ability that he had mastered, the Hands of Universe, into it. For this reason, when he cast this assist-type Divine Ability, the Five Fingers Prison, even if his opponent was evenly-matched with him, it would still require quite some effort for his opponent to break free.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Duan Ling Tian took a look at the 'prison' that he was trapped in. After determining that he would not be able to break out with his brute strength, he immediately used his swordplay technique from the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sword qi flew unhindered and cut through the sky, making its way to the cage. However, after a few rounds of attacks, Duan Ling Tian discovered it would definitely be able to break out if he did not exert more effort.
While Duan Ling Tian was still struggling with breaking out, Yuwen Hao Chen was gaining ground and was already very close to him.
Yuwen Hao Chen easily moved and entered the 'prison'. The cage seemed invisible to him since he was the one who had cast the technique. He said coldly as he entered the 'prison', "Duan Ling Tian, you can never run away from my Five Fingers Prison!"
"Run away?" When Duan Ling Tian heard Yuwen Hao Chen's words, he narrowed his eyes. He said lightly, "Palace Master Yuwen, you think too highly of yourself. I, Duan Ling Tian, don’t need to run away from you!" He had onty away from Yuwen Hao Chen earlier because he was preparing to attack Yuwen Hao Chen in his best state. After all, compared to Yuwen Hao Chen, he still needed more time for preparation.
Although that might be the case, Duan Ling Tian was still confident he would be able to deal with Yuwen Hao Chen even if he was not fully prepared. His confidence came from his speed and the 99 Saint Veins in his body. His speed ensured his agility in the battle, and the 99 Saint Veins ensured he could mobilize his Saint Veins at any time.
Yuwen Hao Chen was furious when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words and saw the nonchalant expression on his face. "I really want to see where you get your confidence from!" He raised his hands again, clawing at Duan Ling Tian. However, this time he did not cast his assist-type Divine Ability, the Five Fingers Prison, but he cast his offensive Divine Ability, the Hands of Universe!
As soon as Yuwen Hao Chen moved his claw-like fingers, there was turbulence in the air. It sent shockwaves spreading in all directions. A powerful aura that seemed capable of drowning everything in its wake appeared suddenly. Soon after, Yuwen Hao Chen lifted his hand to the sky as though he was seizing the sun and the moon and plucking the stars off the sky. His hands reached out as though it could wield the power of the universe! The word 'Universe' appeared in the air at this time!
Yuwen Hao Chen had cast the Hands of Universe perfectly!
"It's not an ordinary offensive Divine Ability!" When Yuwen Hao Chen attacked with his claw-like fingers, Duan Ling Tian could see that Yuwen Hao Chen's offensive Divine Ability also contained a martial tactic he had seen before! He quickly recalled the scene from three years ago when Yuwen Hao Chen's five fingers swiped out and easily caught his sword with this particular martial tactic. At that time, there was nothing he could do about it. In comparison, Yuwen Hao Chen's current attack was much more terrifying compared to three years ago. After all, at that time, Yuwen Hao Chen did not use this Divine Ability that had been fused with his martial tactic. The two techniques were in completely different leagues!
"Where did that confidence come from?" Duan Ling Tian said as a faint smile appeared on his face, "Rest assured, Palace Master Yuwen, I'll show you now where my confidence comes from!" His eyes turned solemn even though the faint smile remained on his face.
"Otherworldly Celestial! Sword Wielding Art!" Duan Ling Tian did not dare to let his guard down since it seemed like Yuwen Hao Chen was attacking without any reservations. His body moved and his clones appeared one after another, wielding the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword with the techniques from the Sovereign Heart Sword.
Suddenly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Wind howled in the air as sword qi blasted fiercely toward Yuwen Hao Chen like a battalion of army! The sword qi shot through the air, its force caused the air to roil.
Almost everyone at the scene was blinded by Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen's powerful attacks. Naturally, most of them could barely make out who was attacking.
"Duan Ling Tian possesses such strong techniques?" Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was a step away from becoming an Eminent Celestial. When he saw Duan Ling Tian's offensive Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, and his swordplay that was similar to a martial tactic, he realized that Duan Ling Tian’s techniques were as strong as Yuwen Hao Chen’s techniques. Furthermore, Duan Ling Tian's comprehension of heaven and earth was not inferior to Yuwen Hao Chen's comprehension. The confidence Shi Nan Feng had in Yuwen Hao Chen began to wane. He felt a hint of remorse as well. If he had known earlier that the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion was so powerful, he would not look for trouble with Duan Ling Tian even if he wanted to avenge his last direct disciple. Provoking such a strong powerhouse was tantamount to bringing a huge disaster upon himself and the Great Spirit Palace!
What followed after was exactly what Shi Nan Feng had imagined.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
When Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen's attacks collided, the air rumbled and the earth shook. However, none of them seemed able to gain the upper hand. It was an extremely close match, and it was difficult to determine a winner and a loser. Things continued this way even after a few rounds of attacks. Neither of them managed to gain the higher ground.
"Duan Ling Tian has actually become so strong!?"
Duan Ling Tian's strength had completely shocked the group of onlookers. Even those who could not see Duan Ling Tian and Yuwen Hao Chen's attacks understood how strong Duan Ling Tian had become when they saw that he was unharmed. He was not inferior to Yuwen Hao Chen at all.
At this moment, Shi Nan Feng cried out, "Palace Master Yuwen, let me help you!" He became impatient as he watched how Yuwen Hao Chen was still unable to kill Duan Ling Tian. He could no longer suppress his killing intent and charged at Duan Ling Tian.
