Chapter 1114 - 1114 Suppression
1114 Suppression
On the battlefield, Liu Yan and Wei Ping stood facing each other.
Wei Ping was tall, towering at least three meters, and the giant sword in his hand was colossal.
In contrast, Liu Yan appeared much smaller.
Liu Yan couldn’t sense the precise strength of Wei Ping.
However, even though Liu Yan couldn’t distinctly perceive Wei Ping’s exact strength, he could roughly gauge that Wei Ping’s strength wasn’t significantly higher than his own.
Liu Yan boasted a combat strength of 21 stars. Judging by Wei Ping on the opposite side, Liu Yan estimated his combat strength to be around 22 stars, not exceeding 23 stars!
Under normal circumstances, when facing an opponent stronger than oneself, one should not linger in battle and admit defeat earlier especially since Liu Yan had experienced the previous battle and was already somewhat exhausted.
However, Liu Yan was unwilling to take that route. He was not ready to give up.
In the first place, it seemed that Liu Yan had undergone a prolonged and arduous battle, successfully overcoming opponents in two consecutive fights. Liu Yan had gone to great lengths, even sustaining several injuries.
However, in reality, all of this was intentional on Liu Yan’s part. He orchestrated these scenarios to deliberately showcase a performance, concealing his true strength from the skilled experts of Lakon. In truth, Liu Yan hadn’t expended much energy in the preceding battles and remained in excellent condition.
Apart from that, Liu Yan was eager to experiment.
Even if the opponent’s strength surpassed his own, Liu Yan might not lose to the other party in a real battle.
After all, relying on SSS-grade divine talent, Divine Extraction, under continuous enhancements, Liu Yan’s practical combat strength far surpassed his original combat strength.
Even if Wei Ping’s combat strength exceeded Liu Yan’s, Liu Yan might still be a formidable opponent!
Thinking of this, Liu Yan decided to give it a try.
Regardless, Liu Yan was confident in his strength. Even if he proved no match for Wei Ping in battle, Liu Yan was sure he could safely escape!
At this moment, Wei Ping also observed Liu Yan. After a brief perception period, he couldn’t decipher Liu Yan’s true strength.
Wei Ping was perplexed.
Being unable to discern the opponent’s strength indicated two possibilities. Either the opponent’s strength surpassed Wei Ping’s, or the opponent possessed a special concealment skill capable of hiding their true strength.
Either way, it signified the opponent’s uniqueness, far from being as straightforward as it seemed.
“It seems Captain’s prediction was right. You’re far from as simple as you appear. The previous two battles weren’t as challenging as they seemed. Interesting. Are you staging this to take down a few more of our experts? How bold!” Wei Ping smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Liu Yan paid little attention. Their conversation was pointless.
After a while, the Will of Tower was announced again.
[This small battle is about to begin. Five, four, three…]
The moment the countdown reached zero, Wei Ping, wielding the giant sword with one hand, charged towards Liu Yan.
Despite the immense weight of the giant sword, Wei Ping managed to advance with a single hand.
The heavy giant sword left a deep imprint on the ground behind Wei Ping.
The battlefield’s ground was crafted from a special material, extraordinarily hard, and adorned with intricate Array Technique, making it extremely resistant to damage.
In previous battles, even a 19-star peak combat strength couldn’t mar this special ground.
Yet now, relying solely on the tremendous weight of the giant sword, Wei Ping left a distinct mark on the ground, indicating an extraordinary situation.
Despite the sword’s weight, Wei Ping’s pace wasn’t sluggish.
Although Wei Ping’s steps seemed deliberate, each stride covered more than ten meters.
In a brief moment, Wei Ping had already closed the distance and stood in front of Liu Yan.
Observing this, Liu Yan wasn’t surprised. This was a specialized movement technique, allowing Wei Ping to move exceptionally fast even while wielding the giant sword.
“Not running away? Then die!” Wei Ping was somewhat surprised, but his movements did not falter. His body paused, and the giant sword descended towards Liu Yan.
Wei Ping didn’t employ any powerful skills, relying solely on the might of the giant sword and his strength to launch the attack.
Even so, the giant sword that was about to slash down was filled with terrifying power.
It was just that this attack, let alone an ordinary Awakened with 21-star combat strength, even an Awakened with peak 22-star combat strength would not be able to withstand it!
Wei Ping was not an ordinary Awakened with 22-star combat strength. With just a casual strike, he had reached the pinnacle of 22-star combat strength!
Yet, Liu Yan was far from an ordinary individual and remained composed.
Facing a strong enemy, Liu Yan naturally would not hold back anymore.
Liu Yan was holding the SS-grade weapon, the Blue Fire Gloves. However, this was not Liu Yan’s main weapon against Wei Ping. It was only a secondary option.
Faced with the formidable Wei Ping and his terrifying giant sword, the SS-grade Blue Flame Gloves, though formidable, fell short.
Liu Yan wielded the SS-grade Blue Flame Gloves while simultaneously drawing the SSS-grade Flame Demonic Spear!
The moment the Flame Demonic Spear emerged, an intense surge of fire attribute elemental power flowed through the entire weapon, radiating brilliance.
It seemed that the Flame Demonic Spear sensed the presence of a formidable weapon, as the fire attribute elemental power on it continued to shimmer, declaring its readiness for battle!
In contrast, Wei Ping’s stance with the giant sword, which was formidable just a moment ago, suddenly quieted down.
Even though the giant sword was several times larger than the Flame Demonic Spear, when faced with the Flaming Magic Spear that was much smaller than it, the giant sword suddenly became much quieter.
Observing this, Liu Yan instantly grasped that the giant sword was being suppressed.
It appeared that the giant sword had barely reached the threshold of SSS-grade, possibly not even qualifying as a true SSS-grade weapon.
In contrast, the Flame Demonic Spear was exceptional. Not only was it a genuine SSS-grade weapon, but among SSS-
grade weapons, it seemed to be an extraordinarily formidable entity.
Because of this, the Flame Demonic Spear completely dominated Wei Ping’s giant sword!
Witnessing this, Liu Yan felt a subtle sense of relief.
At least in terms of weapons, he was able to suppress his opponent. This was very beneficial to Liu Yan.
In the following battle, the SSS-grade Flame Demonic Spear could unleash its full power.
On the other hand, Wei Ping’s giant sword, being suppressed, might struggle to unleash its complete potential.
In this comparison, Liu Yan held the upper hand!
Simultaneously, Liu Yan activated his S-grade skill, Dragonification!
Suddenly, Liu Yan’s physical strength experienced a terrifying surge.
The previously weighty Flame Demonic Spear now felt remarkably agile.
Liu Yan also employed his S-grade skill, Absolute Unrivaled!
Immediately, Liu Yan, wielding the SSS-grade Flame Demonic Spear, directly confronted Wei Ping.
The clash between the giant sword and the Flame Demonic Spear reverberated with tremendous force.
The entire battlefield trembled!
After a brief exchange, Liu Yan slightly retreated, revealing a subtle disadvantage.
In their first confrontation, Liu Yan already roughly understood Wei Ping’s strength.
Wei Ping’s combat strength had already reached the pinnacle of 22-star combat strength.
Moreover, Wei Ping’s talent was very terrifying. His actual combat strength had already far exceeded 22 Stars.
