Pan Teng's complexion instantly turned grim. He had not expected that Zhao Letian's challenge was directed at Lin Yun, his grandnephew.
"Do you bear such deep hatred and grievance against Yun that a life-and-death battle is necessary?" Pan Teng stared at Zhao Letian and asked. Zhao Letian's strength was not weak; engaging in a battle to the death with him meant Lin Yun would face considerable risk.
"You should be asking Lin Yun that question, as well as your precious daughter," Zhao Letian finally confirmed that Pan Teng was indeed Pan Qingqing's father. With him overseeing the fight on the Life and Death Platform, it was likely there would be some complications.
"Lin Yun pays respect to uncle." Lin Yun descended from the sky and bowed to Pan Teng.
"Yun'er, what is this all about? Why must you engage in a life-and-death battle?" Pan Teng asked with a frown.
"Uncle, this man bullied Qingqing on Treasure Island. I wanted to stand up for Qingqing at that time, but unexpectedly, this audacious man dared to kidnap Qingqing, using her life to threaten me. Fortunately, I was able to rescue Qingqing successfully in the end. However, this matter is not over; I must slay this man to avenge Qingqing," Lin Yun said confidently on the Life and Death Platform, taking out a three-star low-grade Spiritual Weapon Longsword.
"He dared to kidnap Qingqing?" Pan Teng's face turned frosty, his gaze coldly fixed on Zhao Letian. His daughter Pan Qingqing was his Achilles' heel; anyone who dared touch her was akin to courting death. Had it not been for today's Sect competition with the Sect Master and others watching, he might have directly struck Zhao Letian dead with a palm.
Sensing the icy killing intent emanating from Pan Teng, Zhao Letian was not afraid. He believed that, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Pan Teng would not dare to recklessly strike at him, a junior in the True Martial Realm.
"Lin Yun, you have a knack for twisting the truth. I hope your strength is just as formidable," Zhao Letian held the longsword and gazed at Lin Yun indifferently, the fact being he had to kidnap Pan Qingqing back on Treasure Island to leave safely.
Although Lin Yun had played the victim and accused him, Zhao Letian disdained to argue back. After all, Pan Teng was Pan Qingqing's father, and no matter how much he argued, the opponent would not believe him.
"Zhao Letian, rest assured, my strength may not be great, but it's more than enough to kill you. Thunder Sword, slash!" Lin Yun declared, and suddenly, streaks of purple thunder and lightning appeared on the longsword, striking towards Zhao Letian with an impressive force.
"True Martial Fourth Realm minor achievement? Thunder Martial Soul? Double Sword Force?" Zhao Letian's eyes narrowed, silently noting that Lin Yun, ranked fifth in the Inner Sect, was indeed much stronger than Zhuo Yifeng, who was ranked tenth. Nonetheless, he was still destined to die.
"Dragon Roar Nine Sword, slash!"
Zhao Letian neither dodged nor avoided. He struck with his sword, and four consecutive Dragon Roars suppressed Lin Yun's strength, causing the purple electric arcs on his longsword to suddenly weaken. Your support on * keeps this series going.
In a blink, their swords clashed together. The violent True Yuan Power, mixed with strands of the power of thunder and lightning, spread rampantly, sending both Lin Yun and Zhao Letian staggering back.
"They are evenly matched?"
The onlooking crowd was slightly surprised, not expecting Zhao Letian's strength to be formidable enough to contend with the fifth-ranked of the Inner Sect.
Zhao Letian's strength also greatly shocked Lin Yun, but he did not intend to give Zhao Letian any chance to catch his breath, swinging his Thunder Sword again to strike, he aimed to take advantage of the momentum and directly slay Zhao Letian.
"Fear me? I think not."
Zhao Letian said indifferently, boldly and fearlessly wielding his sword to meet the attack.
In the following moments, sword lights flashed and Sword Qi crisscrossed, with the sound of thunder and flashes of lightning following one after another, the Dragon Roar resounding incessantly. The figures of the two combatants flew back and forth, brushing past each other time and again. With each encounter, both parties consumed a certain amount of energy, and even sustained injuries.
Soon, both of them had numerous sword marks on their bodies, with fresh blood staining their clothes, but in this life-and-death battle, neither of them cared about such minor wounds. They dared not be distracted for even a moment, for in such an evenly matched intense fight, a moment's carelessness could lead to their demise, falling on this Life and Death Platform.
When they closed in, the two exchanged punches, with Zhao Letian's Physical Strength being stronger, gaining the upper hand and causing Lin Yun to spit out blood and fly backwards. However, at the same time, Lin Yun counterattacked with a sword strike, leaving a gash on Zhao Letian's arm, from which blood gushed out.
"Zhao Letian, your True Yuan must be nearly depleted by now, right? If you don't have any other trump cards, prepare to die in defeat." After separating, the injured Lin Yun, looking at Zhao Letian who was also covered in blood, laughed triumphantly. His True Essence Power was much more profound than Zhao Letian's. He could outlast him, unless Zhao Letian had other trump cards. But the Triple Sword Force should be Zhao Letian's strongest trump card, Lin Yun believed Zhao Letian had no more tricks to play.
"You want to see my trump card? Very well, I shall grant your wish."
Zhao Letian smiled faintly and then exhibited the Body Technique "Carefree Travel," his figure flickering and suddenly rushing toward Lin Yun like a phantom.
"Such movement technique? So fast!"
The onlooking crowd was shocked, and even the Sect Master Chu Yunshan and others on the Golden Warship focused their eyes sharply. With their experience and knowledge, they could tell that the Body Technique Zhao Letian displayed was extremely sophisticated and invaluable, making many in the audience reveal a look of greed.
"This youngster actually has such a powerful movement Martial Technique. Using this technique, he could certainly defeat Lin Yun, but he cannot avoid drawing special attention from ambitious individuals," Sword Obsession was also startled and inwardly worried for Zhao Letian.
In fact, the Sword Skill Zhao Letian had shown was already very powerful. Some ambitious individuals were probably already eyeing it, and now with this movement Martial Technique, in the eyes of others, he might have turned into a walking treasure. However, with Sword Obsession present, he would never allow anyone with ill-intent to easily harm his disciple.
After unveiling the Body Technique "Carefree Travel," Zhao Letian's speed suddenly surged dramatically. The alarmed Lin Yun, despite his full effort to dodge, still ended up with a long slash wound across his chest by Zhao Letian, the flesh torn and blood flowing profusely.
"How do you possess such a powerful movement Martial Technique, and why didn't you use it earlier?" Lin Yun, shocked and furious, looked at Zhao Letian. He hadn't expected Zhao Letian to indeed have another trick up his sleeve. If Zhao Letian had used this kind of movement Martial Technique earlier, he might have already been defeated.
"Because, this set of movement Martial Technique was originally meant to deal with Shentu Yu, and I had no plans to use it against you. But since you insisted on seeing my trump card, I can only oblige you. Remember in your next life, do not overstep your bounds." Zhao Letian said indifferently, then once again utilized the "Carefree Travel" movement technique, holding his Longsword and slashing towards Lin Yun.
