Chapter 488: Apex Confrontation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When the Great Templar Elder saw Yang Ling that was near him and the Blood Elf Dagger in his hand that emitted an eerie light, he flew into a rage.
This was the first time he received injuries since he started a secluded training several thousand years ago, and it was also the first time an insignificant Domain-Level Expert inflicted injuries upon him since he achieved Godhood. After he released his Gravity Domain, he assumed that he would be able to wipe out the enemies easily, and didn’t expect that his consecutive three-blade strikes would only inflict heavy injuries upon Yang Ling. He wasn’t able to break Yang Ling’s defense, and he couldn’t inflict deadly injuries upon him.
Moreover, he didn’t ever imagine that his opponent would be able to attack him undetected, and he plotted against him.
After he advanced into the Mid-Level Deity Stage, his powerful Divine Power had strengthened his body greatly, and ordinary poison wasn’t able to affect him. But, the strong poison on Yang Ling’s dagger was quite vicious, and the wound started rotting quickly, while the poison spread at an astonishing speed. He felt like he fell into the Death Plane’s Corpse Rotting Water by mistake, and if he didn’t respond in time and suppress the poison with his tremendous Divine Power, he might have been instantly corroded and turned into a skeleton.
“Humph! Vile heretic, die!” The Great Templar Elder locked into Yang Ling’s Soul Ripples before he gnashed his teeth and sped up once again. This time, he made an all-out effort, and he planned to hack his opponent into two shreds. But, when his sharp blade approached Yang Ling’s throat, a sudden jingling sound echoed because a long spear appeared out of nowhere and blocked his attack. A black blur appeared in front of Yang Ling.
The Three Heads of Darkness?
When the Great Templar Elder saw the Dark Cavalry Commander that rushed over in this critical juncture and saw the Dark Great Elder and the Dark Great Priestess behind him, his expression turned grave, and he could no longer hunt down Yang Ling. He backed off by several steps carefully and waved his hand to send a Magical Message. He sent an urgent summon of the Church’s experts.
The people might not be aware of the terrifying power of the Three Heads of Darkness, but the Templar Church’s great elder was aware of it clearly. Several thousand years ago, those three people had consumed a large amount of their Divine Power to seal the spatial crevice, yet they still managed to reveal terrifying fighting prowess, and the Church paid a grave price to deal with them.
If only one of Three Heads of Darkness came here, he might still have an assurance to fight against them, but three of them showed themselves here, and even if he was stronger, he still didn’t dare to overestimate himself and take them on.
“Humph! I really didn’t expect this. Several thousand years have elapsed, yet a solemn Templar Great Elder like you are only turning for the worse. You are only trying to kill a youngster, yet you have cut a sorry figure.” When the Dark Cavalry Commander Barbosa saw the bloodstains on the Great Templar Elder’s clothes, he snorted coldly and released his Divine Domain to suppress the enemy’s Gravity Domain.
In an instant, Yang Ling’s whole body felt lighter, and he took out a bottle of Life Spring’s water. He drank several drops of it before he handed over the bottle to the Corpse Wizard King and others, and he asked everyone to drink several drops to heal their wounds and recover their power quickly.
Moreover, he had also consumed several Magical Beast’s Blood Orbs to replenish his exhausted Wizard Power and Mental Energy before he snatched time to assemble the Magical Beasts that recovered their movement ability, and he teleported the injured beasts into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension so that they could recuperate there.
“Barbosa, the spatial crevice’s fluctuations became more intense, and if a large-scale war breaks out now, none will benefit from it.” The Great Templar Elder turned a deaf ear to the Dark Cavalry Commander’s mockery, and he paused for a moment before he spoke, “If a large number of Alien Planes’ demons managed to come into Tailun Continent due to this, they would start slaughtering the continent’s common people crazily. So, aren’t you afraid of incurring the anger of the Fire God and Chief Elven Priest?”
“Humph, if your Church is really worried about the invasion of Alien Planes’ demons, why did you mount a sneak-attack on us when we were trying to seal the spatial crevice?” The Dark Cavalry Commander Barbosa wore an ice-cold look, and he spoke while he rushed toward the Great Templar Elder with his spear. He attacked decisively and thrust his spear at this opponent’s heart.
Dragon-Slayer Spear?
When the Great Templar Elder saw the sharp spear in the hands of the Dark Cavalry Commander, his pupils contracted, and he gnashed his teeth. He didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced forward and waved his blade. As a jingling sound echoed, both people drew back and checked their weapons’ condition before they started fighting again. As time passed, they fought more quickly and fiercely with their blade and spear. They were in a deadlock!
“A Dragon Battling the Galaxy, kill him!” After the Dark Cavalry Commander Barbosa’s spear hit thin air several times, he shouted and thrust his spear at the Great Templar Elder’s chest. It seemed like he would kill anyone in his way!
Pff!
Barbosa had made an all-out effort, and a blood-red light emanated from the Dragon-Slayer Spear. Several illusory dragons were faintly visible around the quick and swift spear, and an ear-piercing tearing sound echoed.
The Great Templar Elder was astounded, and he didn’t dare to take his opponent carelessly. He used his high speed to dodge to the side and narrowly dodged the Dark Cavalry Commander’s spear’s heavy strike.
Bang!
The Great Templar Elder had avoided this crisis, but the house behind him suffered a stroke of bad luck, and it collapsed. It had instantly collapsed!
“Humph, die!”
The Dark Cavalry Commander Barbosa followed his opponent closely as if he was his shadow, and he shouted loudly as he pounced at him again. He launched a powerful attack and rained attacks upon his opponent. He used pokes, jabs, sweeps, and he possessed remarkable skill with the spear. He attacked quicker the more he fought, and he amazed the spectators with his techniques.
In the end, the crowd wasn’t able to differentiate between the fighter’s body and afterimages, and they could only hear a ceaseless clanking sound caused by the weapons’ collision.
The Great Templar Elder advanced into the Mid-Level Deity Stage several thousand years ago, and this was also the case for the Dark Cavalry Commander Barbosa, while he still possessed perfect spear techniques, and his power wasn’t any worse than Great Templar Elder. The former’s advantage was his high speed, while the latter’s advantage was his great power, and this was none could quickly take the victory in a short while.
The Great Templar Elder’s Gravity Domain couldn’t greatly affect the Dark Cavalry Commander, and it was also the same for the Dark Cavalry Commander’s Force Domain, as it also couldn’t restrict the Great Templar Elder’s power and speed.
Both sides were evenly matched, and they started fighting near the Church until they reached the castle gate’s vicinity, before they started fighting from the eastern district to the southern district, and from the ground to mid-air. Their sharp and powerful attacks wreaked great havoc on the land!
The weather changed, and a landslide occurred, while the ground cracked open.
The two Mid-Level Deities’ fight caused terrifying havoc, and even their fight’s shockwaves were able to destroy the castle’s buildings, let alone their attacks. Many deep cracks appeared on the pavement, and the firm houses collapsed one after the other. All buildings were destroyed as if an earthquake occurred, and many terrified residents hiding in cellars that weren’t killed by the Magical Beast Army were killed by the earth-shattering battle.
The Dark Cavalry Commander Barbosa attacked ceaselessly and revealed his full power. He became braver and more valiant the more he fought. The reason behind this might be his desire for revenge, yet it might also be because the Dark Great Elder and the Chief Dark Priestess were holding the lines.
As for the Great Templar Elder, he used his high speed to counter every move and still didn’t suffer defeat for now, but he got more anxious and had his unspeakable suffering.
The Dark Cavalry Commander possessed shocking power, while the Dark Great Elder and the Chief Dark Priestess eyeing him weren’t any weaker. It was unknown when the Church’s reinforcement would rush here, and what was worse was that the state of the wound on his back turned for the worse as he consumed his Divine Power. The wound became number while the poison spread further. If this strange poison infected his whole body, the consequences would be too horrible to imagine.
The situation would turn more disadvantageous to him, the more he delayed the battle.
“Kill him, kill him with your spear.”
“Kill him, stab his heart, and dig out his Godhead.”
When the soldiers saw the Dark Cavalry Commander’s brave fight, they cheered for him crazily, and it was the same for the Corpse Wizard King, Great Ape King, and others.
As for the Honorable Knights Team and Angels that assembled together, their faces were pale, and they were nervous.
When the Great Templar Elder rushed over and launched his Divine Domain, they witnessed that the ferocious Magical Beasts couldn’t budge by an inch, and they were all spirited. They had seized the chance to kill many hateful Groundhogs. But, after a short while passed since they were elated, the tide of the battle changed, and the terrifying Three Heads of Darkness emerged suddenly.
“Use the Magic Crystal Cannons and Magical Towers to bombard them and disrupt their battle formation, hurry up!” When Yang Ling saw the angels and knight assembling around the Teleportation Formation Spell, he passed down an order in a low voice.
The Angel Battle Formation was forcefully broken, and a hundred angels consumed a large amount of their Magical Power and sustained many inner injuries. As for the Great Templar Elder, he couldn’t even protect himself, and this was a chance to take down the Church’s members. They mustn’t miss it!
No matter if it was Ashnamov’s soldiers or the Dark Soldiers led by Elder Klive, their veins nearly burst open due to the Great Templar Elder’s Gravity Domain, and they were nearly turned into bloody men. This was why when they were commanded by Yang Ling, they gnashed their teeth and launched an all-out counterattack. They directed their anger into the Honorable Knights Team and Angels Corps.
The Magical Barrier formed jointly by the Church’s spellcasters quickly crumbled in the face of the attacks of Magic Crystal Cannons and Magical Towers, and their battle formation was disrupted. At that moment, the beauty Sasa that got ready at an earlier time sent the Groundhog Army at them, and they started crazily attacking the Church’s members in the chaotic battle formation.
High-Level angels were quite powerful, and they revealed great fighting prowess even though they sustained heavy injuries. Even though the Corpse Wizard King, Beauty Sasa, and others attacked personally, they still couldn’t kill them quickly. But, when the Dark Great Elder attacked personally, the situation changed, and he managed to easily hack the eight-winged angel leader into two shreds with his scimitar.
High-Level angels were quite powerful to ordinary people, but the six-winged and eight-winged angels’ clones that descended here were quite frail in the face of the Dark Great Elder, and he managed to kill dozens of eight-winged angels instantly. He had sped up the collapse of the Angels Corps!
When the Angels Corps had enough magical power, they were confident to strand even a God-Level Expert like the Dark Great Elder with their Angel Battle Formation. But now, they consumed their Magical Power thoroughly and were injured heavily. So, how could they be a match for him?
After a short while, the angels started falling down one after another in the face of the Dark Great Elder’s sharp attacks and the Magical Beast Army’s crazy counterattack. Even the Honorable Knights Team wasn’t an exception, and the Teleportation Formation Spell was surrounded by a large number of Magical Beasts. They couldn’t use the Teleportation Formation Spell to run for their lives, while the castle was filled with bloodthirsty Groundhogs. They were surrounded by enemies and isolated without help. They had no room for escape!
