On the Sacred Battle Platform, Qin Wentian's ancient halberd swept out, pointing directly at Liu Lan.
Liu Lan's heart trembled when he saw Di Shi's death. Now that he saw Qin Wentian pointing his halberd at him, his countenance turned extremely unsightly to behold.
Defeating and killing were two completely different concepts. The people here all had powerful trump cards. Unless the disparity in strength was too great, they wouldn't be able to kill their opponents. Before this, Liu Lan had the advantage when he fought against Qin Wentian, but he wasn't able to kill him. And now, Qin Wentian had comprehended a true intent despite being in a disadvantageous position, forcefully killing Di Shi.
This indicated that Qin Wentian, who had comprehended a true intent, was in an extremely dangerous situation. His life might be in danger.
The countenances of those from the Violet Thunder Sect were all extremely unsightly to behold. They had arranged for Liu Lan to enter because they wanted to eliminate Qin Wentian. Liu Lan, who was at the peak of Heavenly Dipper and had comprehended a true intent of Lightning, from their perspective, there was no doubt that he would be able to kill Qin Wentian. However, reality wasn't as they had imagined. Qin Wentian's extraordinary comprehension abilities allowed him to comprehend a true intent within the Sacred Battle Platform. Although he was in a disadvantageous position, his combat prowess instantly surpassed Liu Lan's.
"Come out." Qin Wentian pointed to Liu Lan as he spoke. Liu Lan was the same as Di Shi, he had an agreement with Qin Wentian that only one of them could walk out alive. Initially, he wanted to restrict Qin Wentian's escape. But now, he was trapped in a cocoon of his own making. Even if he admitted defeat, it was useless. Either he died, or Qin Wentian died.
"I've also comprehended a true intent, what's there to fear?" Liu Lan silently mused, as though he was encouraging himself, suppressing the terror in his heart due to Di Shi's death. At his level, how could he bear to die? But Di Shi, one of the eight era-suppressing geniuses, had died before his eyes. This made him understand from the bottom of his heart that this was a true battle of death. How could Qin Wentian spare someone who wanted his life?
Liu Lan, who was bathed in lightning, stepped out. However, he seemed to have lost some of his aura. He was no longer as wild and domineering as he was when he first fought against Qin Wentian. Evidently, he wasn't as confident in his own strength as before.
The two of them stood facing each other. The air was filled with destructive lightning energy, but at the same time, there was also an intense pressure. The lightning energy was aimed at Qin Wentian, while the pressure was aimed at Liu Lan. It made him feel as if there was an omnipresent pressure pressing down on him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Releasing his Astral Souls, at this moment, Liu Lan didn't dare to hold back any longer. The might of his lightning grew even stronger as he slashed out with a lightning sword in his hands. A bolt of lightning arced through the air, aiming for Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian had already moved the instant Liu Lan attacked. He could sense every single strand of energy in this space. When Liu Lan moved, he could also sense it. The ancient halberd pierced out, this strike was incomparably accurate, and when it whistled through the air, it contained a terrifying power that caused people's hearts to tremble.
"Peng!" The tip of the ancient halberd directly collided with the lightning, causing it to disintegrate into dust.
"What a terrifying comprehension ability. Qin Wentian's usage of the true intent of his Mandate has already surpassed Liu Lan." Many people understood in their hearts. Qin Wentian had just comprehended a true intent not too long ago, yet his comprehension of it had already surpassed Liu Lan. Other than talent, there was no other explanation.
Golden wings appeared on Qin Wentian's back as he was clad in golden roc armor. With a flap of his wings, his entire person transformed into a beam of light, leaving behind only afterimages in the air.
"Chi!" The ancient halberd pierced out, aiming straight for Liu Lan's head. Even before the halberd arrived, that incomparably terrifying energy had already descended, causing Liu Lan to feel a strange sensation. It was as though an inexhaustible amount of energy from the Heavens and Earth was concentrated at the tip of the ancient halberd. As long as he was struck by it, he would die without a doubt. Regardless of which part of his body was struck, that energy would be able to destroy all vitality in an instant.
A raging wind whistled as Liu Lan retreated. The lightning around him frenziedly converged as a terrifying ball of lightning blasted towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's silhouette flickered as the wings of the golden roc arced through the air in a beautiful arc, instantly changing directions. At the same time, a powerful pressure bore down on Liu Lan, affecting her speed.
"DIE!" Liu Lan roared in rage as he slashed out with his lightning sword.
The speed of the lightning attack was extremely fast, and it contained a terrifying destructive might. Qin Wentian lifted his palms and executed the Star-Seizing Palms. His left palm shone with a resplendent runic light as Divine Energy erupted forth, slamming into the lightning attack, causing it to explode apart in the air.
"Bzzz!" Yet another silhouette flashed past Liu Lan's eyes. Liu Lan unceasingly attacked, yet Qin Wentian would clash head-on with him every time. This repeated over and over again, giving Qin Wentian an immense sense of pressure. Qin Wentian chased after Liu Lan, frenziedly flashing about until the entire sky was covered in a golden Shadow.
"Liu Lan is at too much of a disadvantage in this battle. Every single one of his attacks are all lightning-type attacks with terrifying destructive might, and the consumption of energy is extremely great. However, Qin Wentian's only reply is to use his ancient halberd to strike out. The majority of his attacks are focused on the true intents of his Mandates, and the amount of Astral Energy he consumes is far inferior compared to Liu Lan."
"Not only that, Liu Lan's state of mind is already somewhat unstable. If this continues on, Liu Lan would surely be in deep trouble."
Outside the Sacred Battle Platform, the spectators murmured. At this moment, Liu Lan once again unleashed a destructive attack towards Qin Wentian. Just when he thought that Qin Wentian would retreat after a single strike, numerous afterimages of Qin Wentian appeared, each of them lifting their palms to destroy everything. At the same time, an ancient halberd appeared in Liu Lan's vision.
Liu Lan's heart pounded violently. He abruptly clasped his palms together, directly grabbing hold of Qin Wentian's ancient halberd. The terrifying power of lightning caused his palms to be even sharper than blades. The lightning slashed apart the ancient halberd, directly breaking it into two.
"Courting death." Qin Wentian spat out. He directly put down the ancient halberd and blasted out with both his palms. In an instant, sword qi filled the skies, sweeping through everything. Numerous sword imprints containing terrifying destructive might penetrated through everything, shooting towards Liu Lan.
At such a close distance, Liu Lan was undoubtedly relying on the destructive might of his true intent of Lightning. He wasn't afraid of clashing head-on with Qin Wentian. Hence, at the instant he clasped his palms together, the destructive power of lightning and sword might frenziedly erupted forth, blasting towards Qin Wentian.
But at the same time, Qin Wentian's palms blasted out countless sword imprints. Each and every sword imprint contained a terrifying destructive might, capable of annihilating everything.
The crowd only saw beams of sword light flashing past as fresh blood flowed from Liu Lan's body. The ten thousand swords penetrated through his body. Liu Lan's floating body trembled as he stared at Qin Wentian with a venomous look in his eyes.
He was a character at the peak of Heavenly Dipper who had comprehended the true intent of his Mandate and had already broken through to Celestial Phenomenon. Yet today, he actually died on the Sacred Battle Platform.
"Where did those sword imprints come from?" The spectators felt their hearts trembling. So many terrifying sword imprints had actually erupted forth at that instant. One could very well imagine how dangerous it was to be in close combat with Qin Wentian.
"Impossible." In the direction of the Divine Weapon Academy, Wang Yunfei's countenance turned pale white. Even those seniors from the Divine Weapon Academy were shocked. Those sword imprints were the same as what Qin Wentian had achieved back then in the Divine Weapon Academy. With just a single step, fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptions could be seen. These sword imprints gave off a feeling that they were all fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptions.
This indicated that Qin Wentian's earlier attack had already erupted with hundreds and thousands of fourth-ranked Divine Inscriptions. How terrifying was this? At such a close distance, how could Liu Lan not die?
"That's the second one." The spectators were all numb. The first one was killed by one of the eight era-suppressing geniuses, and the second one was Liu Lan who had comprehended the true intent of his Mandate. At this moment, the faces of those from the Violet Thunder Sect were flushed red. When they saw the countless gazes directed at them, they felt as though they were sitting on pins and needles.
This time around, not only did they lose Liu Lan, they had also lost all face. Why did Liu Lan want to kill Qin Wentian and even set up a life-and-death battle with Qin Wentian? Undoubtedly, the Violet Thunder Sect was the mastermind behind all of this. But now that Liu Lan died in the hands of Qin Wentian, this was truly a slap to their face. Many people were already mocking the Violet Thunder Sect. In Ye, they had lost Ye Kongfan and several Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants. Now, they even sought their own humiliation. Most probably, the name of the Violet Thunder Sect, as one of the nine great sects, would definitely become infamous.
After Qin Wentian killed Liu Lan, he calmly returned to his stone platform and sat down. Out of the nine era-suppressing geniuses, two had already been eliminated. Di Shi had fallen and Dongyue Hanjiang had lost an arm.
In addition to Liu Lan, three of them had already been eliminated. Only six remained.
In truth, at this moment, the crowd already understood. Although Li Tian and Chi Lian were also era-suppressing geniuses, if they couldn't comprehend a true intent of their Mandates, it would be impossible for them to contend against Qin Wentian and Wu Teng. Even the crown prince of Radiant Gold was slightly weaker. No one knew if Fan Miaoyu was still concealing her true strength or not.
However very swiftly, the crowd saw that when Chi Lian challenged Fan Miaoyu, he was easily defeated by her. Fan Miaoyu revealed a type of true intent, the true intent of sound waves. From the start of the battle, Chi Lian had no way to retaliate. Fan Miaoyu's cultivation base was higher than his and she had also comprehended a true intent of her Mandates. Not only that, both of them were era-suppressing geniuses.
After this battle, there were people who faintly felt that Fan Miaoyu was the strongest among the nine.
Li Tian glanced at the four before him, feeling somewhat depressed as he spoke, "There's no meaning for me to continue staying here. Wait until I comprehend a true intent of my Mandates. If there's a chance, let's fight again. I admit defeat."
The Sacred Battle Platform opened, allowing Chi Lian and Li Tian to leave.
Although the two of them were defeated, no one could deny their strength. As era-suppressing geniuses, the moment they comprehended a true intent of their Mandates, they would instantly become extremely terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, there were only four participants left on the Sacred Battle Platform after all the battles yesterday.
Qin Wentian, Wu Teng, Fan Miaoyu, and the prince of Radiant Gold.
"Out of these four, the strongest should be Fan Miaoyu, while the weakest should be the prince of Radiant Gold, Qin Wentian, and Wu Teng. It's hard to say." This was the opinion of the majority. Fan Miaoyu and Wu Teng were on the same level, and both of them had comprehended a true intent of their Mandates. Fan Miaoyu had the highest possibility of being the strongest out of the four.
"How about we spar?" Wu Teng stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke. He was filled with admiration towards Qin Wentian. Before the opening of the Immortal Martial Realm, Qin Wentian was a nameless nobody, yet in a short span of a few months, he had already risen to such heights in the Royal Sacred Region. Such a character was truly worthy of respect. Hence, although he wanted to spar with Qin Wentian, he didn't have any ill intentions.
"I will fight you after I recover to my peak," Qin Wentian replied, as though he was expressing his respect towards Wu Teng.
"Mhm, fine. Your cultivation base is originally lower than mine, let's spar after you recover to your peak." Wu Teng smiled, he didn't insist. Qin Wentian closed his eyes again!
