Wang Li was shocked, but Chen Tian didn't have time to ponder. Facing Chen Tian's gaze, Wang Li knew this matter wouldn't be easily resolved. Wang Li said humbly, "Young man, how about we each take a step back? I'm here on behalf of the Third Prince and the Imperial Tutor. If I don't return, you won't have a good end either."
Chen Tian's killing intent flared, and he said coldly, "Are you threatening me? But I, Chen Tian, have never feared threats. I'm sorry, but since I've made my decision, you'll have to stay here today. You won't be leaving."
"Boy, don't think I'm afraid of you."
Seeing that Chen Tian was relentless and wouldn't let her go, Wang Li was also enraged. After all, she was at the heart of the royal family. How could a mere mortal dare to act like this without her getting angry? She decided to kill Chen Tian.
The moment her feet moved, she shot out like a cannonball, charging straight at Chen Tian. Chen Tian's lips curled up, "Fine, I'll play with you."
Chen Tian didn't unleash his full power, maintaining his aura and strength at the same level as Wang Li. Chen Tian and Wang Li swung their fists. Both relied on their physical strength to unleash their punches. Chen Tian's fist was like the vast starry sky, while Wang Li's fist was like a heavy mountain. As their four fists collided, one figure retreated madly. This figure was Wang Li. Wang Li's arm trembled slightly. Wang Li looked at Chen Tian with even greater shock in her eyes.
She knew that she, Wang Li, was a general-level cultivator, and a body-refining cultivator at that. Yet, she had lost in terms of physical strength. When their fists collided just now, Wang Li felt a terrifying force flow into her arm. If she hadn't suddenly reined in her strength and retreated, Wang Li was certain her arm would have exploded. As a dual cultivator, her physical strength was considered invincible among peers. To be surpassed by a youth this time, Wang Li was very surprised.
Chen Tian said indifferently, "Is this all you've got? You're too weak."
As if disdainful, his tone showed he didn't take Wang Li seriously at all. Wang Li's face turned furious. Her entire aura erupted, and white energy wrapped around her fists. She unleashed her terrifying fists, and the power of her double fists instantly increased by an unknown amount. Chen Tian extended his own fists, still ordinary ones. With a rumble, continuous sounds echoed, and shockwaves spread. If Chen Tian hadn't activated his Silver-Red Domain beforehand, the city would have collapsed if this shockwave had erupted within it.
The shockwave hit the Silver-Red Domain, which erupted with energy, annihilating it. Before the shockwave could even approach the edge of the domain, it disappeared. In the center of the shockwave, Chen Tian took a step back. He looked at his fist, and waves of energy drifted into the sky from it.
Chen Tian thought to himself, "It seems my current physical strength is comparable to a ninth-grade martial cultivator, let alone the fact that the opponent has Origin Power."
Based on his memories, Chen Tian knew that cultivators on the Divine Yuan Continent cultivated Origin Power. Origin Power was the energy cultivated by these martial artists. Origin Power was superior and purer than spiritual energy, but it was still far inferior to the divine spiritual energy of the Divine Realm, not on the same level at all.
Facing Wang Li's attacks, Chen Tian formed his hands into palms and defended step by step. Wang Li's offensive fists were fierce, but Chen Tian perfectly neutralized all of her attacks with his combat consciousness.
Seeing that she couldn't take down Chen Tian in a short time, Wang Li, in her eyes, was certain that Chen Tian was just like this, otherwise, he wouldn't have the upper hand. She could kill him with ease.
Wang Li threw out her fists. As her left fist slid, Chen Tian had already predicted this move. Ten seconds earlier, he had tilted his head back. This punch grazed past Chen Tian's head. Just as Wang Li saw Chen Tian's movement and was about to release her right fist, Chen Tian's left leg, at some unknown time, unleashed a spinning sidekick. Wang Li's right arm was struck by Chen Tian's left leg and flung away. Chen Tian leaped, descending from above, and struck with his left fist. Wang Li crossed her arms, and waves of white energy wrapped around them, causing them to glow with changing colors. The light formed a shield. Chen Tian punched the shield, and cracks appeared, the shield faintly shattering. Wang Li knew she couldn't hold on any longer and disappeared.
She reappeared next to Chen Tian. The two were tens of meters apart. Wang Li's entire arms were trembling, as if the terrifying fist force from before was still there. She circulated her Origin Power, and the strength in her arms dissipated, recovering.
Wang Li said coldly, "It seems I underestimated you. But it's good, boy, you've forced me to go all out."
"Show me what you've got, or you won't have the chance later."
Chen Tian had never taken Wang Li seriously from beginning to end. Seeing Chen Tian's attitude, Wang Li unleashed her full aura, and terrifying waves of energy swept out. Chen Tian became slightly interested because the opponent was finally getting serious and would unleash her full power this time. She adopted a stance, and whirlwinds gathered on her fists, with Origin Power condensing and flowing. Her fists were like a vast galaxy, and she threw them out.
"Fist Sovereign of the World!"
Wang Li roared, her fists incredibly domineering, as if all gods would perish under this punch. Chen Tian felt the aura and thought it was decent; at least this punch posed some threat to him. Chen Tian raised his finger, and starlight gathered, shooting out a beam of light.
Spell: Starlight Finger!
It was a third-grade spell from the cultivation world. This third-grade spell was enough to deal with Wang Li's move. The incredibly domineering fist collapsed the moment it collided with the starlight. This finger was like the power of the stars and the universe. Under this finger, the fist was like a bubble, easily popped.
Wang Li sensed a hint of danger. She had a feeling that if she held back any longer with this move, she would surely die.
A beam of light flashed, and Chen Tian's move exploded, echoing throughout the domain. Wang Li emerged from the explosion and praised, "Boy, you can force me to use this weapon. You can be proud. You know, this was gifted to me by His Majesty himself. It's not a loss to die by my hand."
On Wang Li's right hand, a red long saber appeared. Its shape resembled a Guandao but was slightly smaller than a normal broadsword or Guandao. The hilt was four feet long, and the blade was three feet long, making the entire weapon seven feet in length. Red patterns were wrapped around the hilt, and dragon patterns were carved on the blade. There was an indentation between the hilt and the blade.
Chen Tian could naturally see the extraordinary nature of this weapon. It should be a multi-form weapon. However, Chen Tian was surprised that such a weapon existed in this world. He had seen too many multi-form weapons in the game world, but that was a game. It was surprising that such a setting existed in an ordinary world. It seemed the universe was vast, and there were indeed places Chen Tian needed to visit.
With the long saber in hand, Wang Li's aura became even stronger. She swung the long saber, and continuous red saber energy attacked Chen Tian. Chen Tian was not afraid at all. Even if she used a weapon, so what? He had one too!
A long sword appeared in his hands, six feet long. It was entirely azure, a long sword formed purely from ice element abilities. Against Wang Li, Chen Tian felt he didn't need to use any other means; an ice element long sword was enough. Moreover, with Chen Tian's mastery of elements, even a long sword formed from ice elements could contend with her long saber.
Chen Tian swung his long sword, and drifting sword blades shot out, whizzing and whistling. Bang, bang, bang, continuous explosions echoed as sword blades collided with saber energy, like fireworks.
Chen Tian's figure appeared and disappeared from his original spot, and his long sword thrust directly at Wang Li's chest. Wang Li swung her long saber horizontally, sweeping it away. The saber blade collided with the sword blade. Wang Li seemed to be at ease, and so was Chen Tian. Chen Tian released his long sword, and the sword dissipated. He moved in front of Wang Li and reached out his palm, the long sword appearing. Wang Li reacted quickly. She spun the saber hilt in her hand. Chen Tian's long sword collided with the saber blade and hilt, ding, ding, ding. Chen Tian's long sword shattered, being entangled and ground by the spinning hilt.
Chen Tian retreated, and a purple Divine Ice long sword appeared in his hand. Chen Tian had slightly underestimated her weapon. The quality of Wang Li's weapon was not inferior to Chen Tian's elemental weapon, of course, excluding ordinary elements; Divine Ice and Divine Fire were exceptions.
The long saber descended from above, and Wang Li attacked. Chen Tian held his long sword horizontally in front of him. With a ding, the long saber struck the sword blade, and this time, the sword blade did not shatter. However, Wang Li smiled, and with a crack, the saber loosened at the indentation between the blade and hilt. Wang Li slammed down a strike, and the long saber instantly transformed into a giant axe. The axe descended with violent power, and Chen Tian retreated dozens of meters.
Chen Tian became slightly interested, saying, "As expected, a dual-form weapon. In axe form, its power increased by a full four times."
Wang Li willed it, and the axe transformed back into a long saber. She said indifferently, "Boy, this is your last chance. Hand over that item, and I'll spare your life."
Wang Li didn't want to prolong the fight. Defeating Chen Tian would also come at a price. In a few days, the secret realm would open, and she didn't want to get injured or have any accidents that would cause her to miss the opportunities within. After all, the Divine Strike Secret Realm only opened once every hundred years, and each time, countless people became ascendant figures.
For the sake of an item, Wang Li didn't want to sustain any irreparable injuries. But there was no other way; these were the orders of the Third Prince and the Imperial Tutor. As long as the opponent handed over the item, what was wrong with letting them go once? Moreover, the opponent would definitely enter the Divine Strike Secret Realm. She could kill them later within the secret realm.
Chen Tian said lightly, "Impossible. That's my thing, and I won't hand it over. Stop the nonsense and fight if you want to fight."
Chen Tian did not fear the dynasty, even if the Imperial Tutor of the Luo Yun Dynasty came, Chen Tian could still challenge them. Judging from the battle just now, Chen Tian concluded that this world's plane was lower than the Divine Realm, and Chen Tian was not afraid at all. He knew that from the beginning of the fight, he had only used his physical strength, with no energy support. But the opponent? They had already brought out their weapons. If they continued fighting, all their trump cards would be exposed. Chen Tian could also see through the opponent's intentions, which was to keep their trump cards for the secret realm and contend for opportunities. Chen Tian could resolve Wang Li with a single move, but he wanted to play around and see what capabilities the people of this dynasty possessed.
