At the same time, gusts of majestic wind swept out from Nangong Chen's fist, causing the robes of the onlookers to flutter.
Some of the Five Element Sect's disciples with a lower cultivation base were blown back a little. They could not help but squint their eyes.
Boom!
Before the crowd could react to it, they saw Duan Lingtian who had dodged to the side in advance struck out at lightning speed. His palm landed on Nangong Chen's back and sent him flying.
After Nangong Chen was sent flying, his body trembled before he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned extremely pale.
Whoosh!
The crowd burst into an uproar when they saw this.
"Senior Brother Chen doesn't seem to see Duan Lingtian dodging to the side at all. He also didn't notice Duan Lingtian sneaking an attack on him from behind."
"Looks like Senior Brother Chen is also affected by Duan Lingtian's innate ability."
"It's obvious."
…
The group of Five Element Sect's disciples' faces turned extremely solemn.
"This Duan Lingtian … Has he made a breakthrough?"
Tian Gu, the Peak Master of Earth Peak, twitched the corner of his mouth as shock appeared on his face.
Earlier, Duan Lingtian had used his Spiritual Energy to construct the Illusory Space many times, but it was shattered by Nangong Chen's Spiritual Energy.
From the beginning until the end, he could sense it clearly.
Earlier, when Duan Lingtian used his Spiritual Energy to construct the Illusory Space again, Tian Gu's Spiritual Energy sensed that Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Energy had risen by an entire level.
Because of this, Nangong Chen had no way of discovering the Illusory Space constructed by Duan Lingtian, let alone shattering it with his Spiritual Energy.
Many of the Five Element Sect's elders who were also Inscription Masters had also discovered this.
As they discussed among themselves, the news of Duan Lingtian's breakthrough spread to other people's ears. Soon after, everyone knew what had happened earlier.
"Damn it! This Duan Lingtian has actually made a breakthrough? "
Hu Fei stared coldly at Duan Lingtian, his face extremely gloomy.
Initially, he thought that Duan Lingtian would lose to Nangong Chen. However, he did not expect Duan Lingtian to complete a breakthrough at the critical moment. Furthermore, he defeated Nangong Chen in one fell swoop.
"Chen 'er is right to be worried … This Duan Lingtian really can't be judged with common sense!"
Guo Chong, the Sect Leader of the Five Element Sect, sighed. However, he was not unhappy at all.
It was just like how Jin Feng's failure to obtain first place in the Battle of the Five Peaks did not affect him at all.
"This Duan Lingtian is indeed very strong."
Nangong Yi who stood at the side had an extremely serious expression, and then he frowned. "But when I saw him attack earlier, the strength contained within his Origin Energy seemed to be far inferior to the eighth level of the Void Interpretation Stage, and it seemed to be on par with me instead."
"His cultivation base has just made a breakthrough to the seventh level of the Void Interpretation Stage … As for his Spiritual Energy, it should be one level higher than his cultivation base."
A gleam flashed across Guo Chong's eyes as he muttered, "If I'm not mistaken, he must have consumed a spirit fruit that can elevate his soul, causing his Spiritual Energy to be one level higher than his cultivation base."
"So, it's the eighth level of the Void Interpretation Stage Spiritual Energy … No wonder."
The moment Nangong Yi heard this, he could not help but gasp.
"Haha … Duan Lingtian, good job!"
Seeing how Duan Lingtian had heavily injured Nangong Chen and seemed to have obtained the final victory, Huang Daniu laughed out loud and shouted loudly.
Qi Yu, Yang Ling, and Ke Zheng's eyes lit up immediately.
It did not cross their minds that Duan Lingtian would be able to complete a breakthrough at the critical moment and defeat Nangong Chen in one fell swoop.
At the same time, they could not help but be pleasantly surprised by this.
"Y-You've made a breakthrough?"
At this moment, Nangong Chen who was still in the illusory space did not make any movements after he was injured. He stood in the air and asked slowly.
It was obvious that Nangong Chen had also realized that he was trapped in the illusory space.
Duan Lingtian recalled his Soul Skill, Thousand Illusions, and looked at Nangong Chen. He said calmly, "I was lucky."
"It doesn't matter if you were lucky or not. You've won."
After the illusory space disappeared, Nangong Chen looked at Duan Lingtian and said seriously.
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Duan Lingtian's reply, Nangong Chen returned to Guo Chong's side in a flash and bowed slightly to Guo Chong. "I've let you down. Please punish me, Master."
"You've done your best. It's just that your opponent is too strong."
Guo Chong shook his head. His gaze landed on Duan Lingtian as he smiled. "Duan Lingtian, you're very good … With you in Wood Peak, it'll definitely rise again! I'm looking forward to it. "
"You flatter me, Sect Leader."
Duan Lingtian replied with a smile.
With his current cultivation base, he did not dare to be negligent when facing the Sect Leader of Five Element Sect.
"Qi Yu, Wood Peak is really lucky."
Guo Chong looked at Qi Yu and smiled.
The moment Qi Yu heard this, a rare bright smile appeared on his face.
"I can't believe that Duan Lingtian from Wood Peak would be the one to obtain the first place in the individual battle of the Battle of the Five Peaks!"
"With his innate ability, he could definitely obtain the first place in the team battle as well! It seems like Wood Peak is going to be ranked before Gold Peak and become the First Peak of our Five Element Sect this time! "
"The First Peak of Five Element Sect has always been the glory of Gold Peak. This time, it's going to change owners because of Duan Lingtian."
"The resources that the First Peak of Five Element Sect can obtain is not something that the other four Peaks can compare to. In the next three years, Wood Peak can definitely use those resources to rise again!"
…
Other than the disciples from Wood Peak, the disciples from the other four Peaks exclaimed one after another.
Each and every one of the Wood Peak disciples had an indescribable excitement on their faces. Their gazes landed on Duan Lingtian, and a deep sense of gratitude could be seen in their eyes.
They knew that it was all thanks to Duan Lingtian alone that Wood Peak could become the First Peak of Five Element Sect.
If it was not for Duan Lingtian, Wood Peak would not have this moment of glory.
"Hurmph!"
Whether it was Cha Bai, the Peak Master of Hu Peak, or his direct disciple, Hu Fei, both of their faces were extremely grave.
Especially Hu Fei.
Ten years ago, the reason why he betrayed Wood Peak and his first master, Yang Ling.
Other than being unable to resist the temptation of the things that Cha Bai promised him, he also wanted to rely on Fire Peak, the Second Peak of Five Element Sect at that time. He wanted to rely on Fire Peak to rise to the top.
All these years, he had indeed done it and became the strongest person among the younger generation in Fire Peak.
However, today, the Wood Peak that he had betrayed ten years ago had obtained the honor of being the First Peak of Five Element Sect.
This honor was like a loud slap to his face, causing him to feel ashamed and resentful at the same time.
"Duan Lingtian … Duan Lingtian! It's all because of you! It's all because of you! If it wasn't for you, how could Wood Peak obtain such an honor? If it wasn't for you, how could I be humiliated in front of so many people? "
Hu Fei's eyes were filled with extreme coldness as he stared at the purple figure in the distance. The killing intent that was emitting from his body seemed to condense into a sharp arrow that was shot out.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian, who was just about to return to the few people from Wood Peak, had just turned around when he felt a cold killing intent locking onto him.
For a moment, he could not help but look at the source of the killing intent.
With just a glance, he saw the red-clad young man whose eyes were filled with killing intent. It was the direct disciple of the Peak Master of Fire Peak, Hu Fei.
"This Hu Fei … If I have the chance, I must kill him! Otherwise, he'll definitely be someone as difficult to deal with as Zi Shang. "
The killing intent in Duan Lingtian's eyes was cold as he secretly made up his mind.
In his life, there were not many things that he regretted. The one that left the deepest impression on him was that he did not kill Zi Shang when he was at the peak of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Dubhe Peak in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
At that time, it was easy for him to kill Zi Shang with his Soul Skill, Thousand Illusions.
It was precisely because Zi Shang had survived that he became a huge threat to him. He even caused the people from the Skywolf Fort to hunt him down with the intention of snatching the Devilseal Tablet from him.
"Zi Shang, let's slowly settle our score in the secret treasure left behind by the powerhouse Emperor Wu … This time, I'll definitely kill you with all my might!"
The killing intent in Duan Lingtian's eyes intensified when he thought of Zi Shang.
After regaining his senses, Duan Lingtian returned to the few people from Wood Peak led by the Peak Master, Qi Yu. As soon as he returned, he was warmly welcomed.
"Duan Lingtian, you're too terrifying! Even the two most outstanding fellows in the younger generation of the Five Element Sect were defeated by you. I, Huang Daniu, admire you. "
Huang Daniu gave Duan Lingtian a thumbs up as he praised.
"Junior Brother Ke, our Wood Peak owes it to you this time … If it wasn't for you finding Duan Lingtian and Huang Daniu, we'd probably still be at the bottom this time."
Yang Ling spoke to Ke Zheng.
"I never imagined that I would be able to encounter Duan Lingtian when I made a trip to Driftcloud Town with Chen Wei … No matter what, this is fate between our Wood Peak and Duan Lingtian."
Ke Zheng smiled.
The nearby Chen Wei nodded in deep agreement, and at the same time, he gave Duan Lingtian a thumbs up.
"Duan Lingtian, the promise I made to you earlier will always be valid. As long as it's within my ability and doesn't endanger the Five Element Sect, I'll agree to one request of yours … Any request! "
Qi Yu looked at Duan Lingtian and said with a smile. When he reached the end of his sentence, his tone became heavier.
Upon hearing Qi Yu's words, Yang Ling and the other three were taken aback.
It did not cross their minds that Qi Yu, the Peak Master of Wood Peak and the second strongest person in the Five Element Sect, would actually make such a promise to Duan Lingtian.
"Thank you, Peak Master."
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up immediately.
He had witnessed Qi Yu's strength with his own eyes. Cha Bai, the Peak Master of Fire Peak, was completely powerless in front of Qi Yu.
The promise of such a powerhouse was undoubtedly priceless to him right now.
Although Duan Lingtian had returned, most of the eyes in the surroundings were still on him. They were paying attention to him, the champion of the individual battle of the Battle of the Five Peaks.
"This Duan Lingtian seems to be younger than Senior Brother Chen and Senior Brother Yi, but he actually managed to defeat Senior Brother Yi and Senior Brother Chen one after another. How shocking!"
"Don't forget that he's not an ordinary human. The blood of a demon is flowing in his veins."
…
At this moment, Duan Lingtian had also become the focus of discussion among the Five Element Sect's disciples.
It was only until the loud voice of the Sect Leader, Guo Chong, reverberated in the air that they finally stopped talking. Everyone's eyes shifted to Guo Chong in unison.
"The individual battle has ended. Now, let's begin the team battle! "
