Chen Tian's figure transformed into smoke. Yun Shui Feng swung his long sword, and Chen Tian's long sword collided with Yun Shui Feng's, sparks flying. Chen Tian slid his sword along Yun Shui Feng's trajectory downwards. Yun Shui Feng released his weapon and threw two punches. Chen Tian blocked with his sword, taking two punches to the blade, and was only pushed back a step. He couldn't break through the Knight's poor punching and kicking skills; this class's equipment was the most effective.
Yun Shui Feng created distance from Chen Tian. Chen Tian stepped forward, pursuing closely, and swung his earth element long sword. Yun Shui Feng brought up his shield to resist. Seeing Yun Shui Feng pull out his shield, Chen Tian decisively abandoned his sword attack, clenched his fist, and punched the shield, creating a huge dent.
Yun Shui Feng was sent flying, crashing into the mountain wall. Chen Tian approached Yun Shui Feng, his earth element long sword wreathed in flames, and unleashed hundreds of blade attacks. Swish, swish, swish—the entire mountainside vibrated. When the smoke and debris cleared, Yun Shui Feng's health was zero. He was dead.
Chen Tian embedded the opponent into the mountain wall, his hands tightly gripping the rock, leaving no opportunity to draw his shield. The combined attack of earth and fire elements had increased his power severalfold. Hundreds of strikes emptied Yun Shui Feng's health. Chen Tian didn't stop killing and turned to face Yun Shui Ao Tian, the leading captain of the Yun Shui Guild. With a swift movement, he appeared before Yun Shui Ao Tian and brought his sword down. Yun Shui Ao Tian hadn't expected Yun Shui Feng to be killed so quickly, but he showed no fear in the face of Chen Tian's attack, his eyes filled with excitement. He sneered, "You are twenty levels below me. You court death. I'll grant you that."
A black staff appeared in his hand. He swung it, and the long sword collided with the staff. Chen Tian was blown back by the shockwave. Golden-red wings unfurled in the sky, making Chen Tian look like an angel. Chen Tian flew over the sea, looking at the weapon in Yun Shui Ao Tian's hand. It was clear that Yun Shui Ao Tian had killed many people.
Otherwise, the weapon wouldn't have been completely assimilated. However, Chen Tian was curious that Yun Shui Ao Tian himself hadn't been assimilated. It was strange. By rights, the aura of the Evil Spirit race should have altered his appearance by now, even his origin. In Chen Tian's perception, both Yun Shui Ao Tian's origin and appearance were human, with no sign of infection.
Yun Shui Ao Tian attacked while Chen Tian was lost in thought. Chen Tian's broad sword swings hampered Yun Shui Ao Tian's advance. Countless blade fragments shattered under Yun Shui Ao Tian's staff. As Yun Shui Ao Tian pressed forward, Chen Tian stepped out, accelerating to sonic speed, becoming a streak of light. Yun Shui Ao Tian increased his speed, and the two beams of light collided within the ocean.
After repeated collisions, Chen Tian and Yun Shui Ao Tian retreated several steps. Chen Tian was surprised by Yun Shui Ao Tian's powerful combat awareness, which was almost on par with his own. Yun Shui Ao Tian was astonished that despite having twenty more levels of attributes than Chen Tian, they were now evenly matched in a direct confrontation. He couldn't believe it. Was this even a player?
It was normal for players to fight above their level, but fighting twenty levels above had never happened before. It usually required a team to contend. But this was one-on-one!
"Damn it, if I provoked this guy, I can't let him live, or our Yun Shui Guild will be completely destroyed by him."
Killing intent flared. Yun Shui Ao Tian decided to bury Chen Tian here. Chen Tian was too powerful. If such an enemy was provoked, he had to be eliminated early, or the consequences would be endless.
Regardless of whether Yun Shui Ao Tian spared Chen Tian or not, Chen Tian would go to the Yun Shui Guild later and slaughter all its members. Several members of the Yun Shui Guild had been infected with the aura of the Evil Spirit race. Who knew what the entire guild was like.
The Evil Spirit race must not be allowed to expand its strength any further. Currently, even sealed Evil Generals were appearing as High-level Evil Generals. If this continued, humanity would be completely Chen Tian's enemy, and Chen Tian wouldn't be able to manage them all. Annihilation was the best choice.
Of course, Chen Tian wasn't someone who killed indiscriminately. Those who colluded with the Evil Spirit race would be killed; other normal people would live.
Chen Tian and Yun Shui Ao Tian's eyes met, sparks flying. Chen Tian's long sword transformed into dual blades, formed of earth element, incredibly sturdy.
"Oh, is your second profession a dual-blade class?"
Yun Shui Ao Tian looked at Chen Tian and spoke calmly, not considering Chen Tian an enemy. Revealing his second profession so quickly was foolish. Yun Shui Ao Tian hadn't revealed his second profession throughout the battle. Using it wisely was the key to turning the tide.
Chen Tian didn't mind. Chen Tian had mastered all professions. Dual blades, dual swords, dual guns, long swords, and other weapons could all be transformed. It didn't matter if he revealed it, as Chen Tian could change his profession and weapon at any time. Besides, long swords were less comfortable to use than dual blades.
Chen Tian preferred dual blades. For him, long swords were merely the primary weapons of other selves in the Divine Realm and the Cultivation world. He had inherited their memories and sword techniques. In this life, Chen Tian only loved dual blades. He was him, and Chen Tian was himself.
With dual blades in hand, he slashed out two brilliant yellow arcs of light. Clang, clang, clang, clang—the sounds echoed. Chen Tian's offense became fierce, his speed skyrocketing, leaving Yun Shui Ao Tian struggling to keep up for a moment. His staff performed various maneuvers, spinning into a circular shield for defense.
Dual blades struck a hundred times per second, a thousand times per second. Yun Shui Ao Tian's scalp tingled. This couldn't go on.
He needed to find an opening to attack. Being suppressed like this would eventually lead to defeat; he was completely on the defensive.
He defended while observing, searching for an opportunity within Chen Tian's onslaught. After a prolonged battle, Yun Shui Ao Tian finally found his chance. He poked his staff forward, lodging it in the hilts of Chen Tian's dual blades. He twisted and rolled, drawing Chen Tian's blades, and Chen Tian stumbled backward.
He praised, "Not bad. Your observation skills are strong, and your analytical ability is sufficient. Why did you make a deal with the Evil Spirit race?"
Chen Tian looked at Yun Shui Ao Tian. Yun Shui Ao Tian was a promising individual, but why had he made a deal with the Evil Spirit race? This was very strange.
Chen Tian had some understanding of Yun Shui Ao Tian's personality. Based on the battle so far, he was the type who grew stronger as the fight progressed. The stronger the enemy, the stronger Yun Shui Ao Tian became, even breaking through his current limitations.
For example, initially, Chen Tian had suppressed Yun Shui Ao Tian's defense. As time went on, Yun Shui Ao Tian defended without wasting any effort, even observing Chen Tian's attack sequences and changes, disrupting his offense.
"What do you know? I am very strong, but there are many stronger than me. I only want power; nothing else matters. I just want those who looked down on me to know my strength."
"No matter who it is, if they hinder my path to becoming stronger, kill! Kill without mercy!"
Chen Tian sensed a fluctuation and thought inwardly, "Could it be that situation? This is getting difficult."
Chen Tian's face became weary. Yun Shui Ao Tian was troublesome. If his guess was correct, that race was within him. No wonder his origin and appearance showed no characteristics of the Evil Spirit race, and only his weapon was infected.
Everything made sense now.
