Chen Tian's gaze sharpened as he regarded the weapon in Shenglong Lin's hands. A sense of danger emanated from the twin warhammers, making Chen Tian realize that a single misstep could lead to his defeat.
Observing Shenglong Lin, Chen Tian noticed that the red warhammers in his grasp were similar in appearance to the previous ones, but this time their striking surfaces were flat. As the twin hammers materialized, Shenglong Lin stepped forward, instantly appearing before Chen Tian with a speed that surpassed his previous movements.
The speed of his attacks increased, as if the weight of the hammers was negligible. Chen Tian then held his longsword horizontally, blocking the incoming hammers. However, the terrifying force and immense weight made him grit his teeth in exertion. White airflow erupted from Chen Tian's body and surged into his longsword. With a push of his hands, Shenglong Lin was instantly sent staggering backward. Chen Tian's figure vanished, reappearing behind Shenglong Lin. He then thrust his sword forward. Shenglong Lin responded by swinging his twin hammers, striking the sword and sending shockwaves through the sky.
Chen Tian shifted his attack from a thrust to a sweep, unleashing a wave of sword energy. However, this time, the warhammers bore no trace of the attack, only the sound of friction and sparks. Shenglong Lin smirked. He then spun his arms, causing the warhammers to rotate as well. They then charged towards Chen Tian. Facing the spinning warhammers, Chen Tian raised his longsword. White airflow, spiritual energy, flowed into the sword, causing it to glow. Chen Tian's longsword emitted a white phantom image. He then brought the sword down, as if cleaving the heavens and earth. The strike met the spinning warhammers.
Upon impact, Shenglong Lin's body swayed several times before he stopped spinning. Chen Tian's figure reappeared before Shenglong Lin, unleashing a sweeping sword light. Shenglong Lin reacted swiftly, raising his warhammers to block the attack and staggering back several meters.
The sword light vanished, and Shenglong Lin regained his footing. He then threw his warhammers, which transformed into two red luminous wheels charging towards Chen Tian. Seeing this, Chen Tian twirled his longsword, creating a dazzling display of sword flowers. These flowers converged, forming a white lotus of sword energy. Chen Tian's sword pointed at it, and the white lotus surged towards the two red wheels.
The collision resulted in a massive explosion, and the two warhammers were sent flying back. But it was not over. Shenglong Lin's legs kicked out, sending the warhammers charging towards Chen Tian again.
Chen Tian spun his longsword, sweeping it horizontally and knocking the warhammers away. Shenglong Lin appeared in front of the warhammers and delivered a flying kick, sending them charging at Chen Tian once more.
Chen Tian parried with his sword, continuously retreating. The warhammers' power had increased significantly after three attacks. Chen Tian barely managed to deflect them, but Shenglong Lin appeared in front of them again, clapped his hands, and sent the warhammers swirling towards Chen Tian once more.
Chen Tian's body erupted with wild spiritual energy. He wielded his longsword, countless phantom sword images enveloping him before merging into the sword. He unleashed a single cleave.
Sword light flashed, surging forward. The warhammers, struck by the sword energy, stopped their rotation.
Spell: Sword Blade Annihilation.
A continuous stream of sword blades shot out, disrupting the warhammers' rotation. Chen Tian's blades then streaked towards Shenglong Lin. Unfazed, Shenglong Lin clenched his fists as if holding something, and the warhammers instantly returned to his hands. He then slammed both warhammers forward, shattering Chen Tian's sword blades.
For weapons like warhammers, any fancy maneuvers were ineffective. Their true power lay in brute force.
This raw strength perfectly complemented the warhammers. The sword blades were all crushed under Shenglong Lin's hammers.
Chen Tian and Shenglong Lin met each other's gaze. Chen Tian shook his head, resolving that without using some spells, he wouldn't be able to defeat his opponent. His own physical body was too weak, which was why he was in such a deadlock.
Spiritual energy slowly wrapped around Chen Tian's longsword, enveloping it. Chen Tian looked at the sword in his hands and said, "Buddy, looks like you can have a good fight this time."
The longsword in Chen Tian's hand hummed as if in delight. Weapons with spirits could understand Chen Tian's words. However, Chen Tian's strength was still too low for the sword spirit to fully awaken. Otherwise, Chen Tian could have defeated his opponent with just the sword and his swordsmanship. It was all due to Chen Tian's current physical limitations.
Then, spiritual energy formed wings on Chen Tian's back, and his aura surged. Shenglong Lin became cautious. Chen Tian was not easy to deal with, and they had been fighting for so long without either gaining a clear advantage, indicating their equal strength.
Furthermore, their combat instincts were similar. One was a seasoned veteran of a divine realm, and the other was a guild leader. The time spent fighting in games far surpassed that of cultivators in other worlds. To level up, one had to fight and kill bosses for experience. The experience needed for a single level in the game was equivalent to dozens of battles in the divine realm or cultivation world, and those were large-scale battles. Therefore, one should not underestimate game players; they might not be the weakest.
Chen Tian and Shenglong Lin simultaneously opened their eyes. The moment they did, they moved. Chen Tian transformed into a white beam of light, while Shenglong Lin became a red beam. They collided, their paths diverging in the sky as they engaged in a fierce battle.
Meanwhile, Chen Tian emerged from the sea of sound waves, astonishing Yang Yumufeng. How was this possible? Their levels were dozens apart! How could he have survived such a move that should have been fatal?
Chen Tian stepped out of the sound wave ocean, a luminous shield covering his body. A protective membrane formed from light elements shielded him.
His opponent's profession involved sonic attacks, but Chen Tian's mastery of elemental forces allowed him to protect himself perfectly. Therefore, he wasn't particularly concerned about his opponent. Chen Tian's objective was to eliminate him, as his presence on the battlefield would create too many variables. Chen Tian didn't want that, and he had few clones left, making it impossible for him to create more. He had to kill his opponent or at least tie him down, preventing him from casting buffs. If he succeeded, this battle would be Chen Tian's victory.
