Chapter 2207: Chapter 2204: Duel
"However, I’ve heard that the current War God’s Divine Status is incomplete!" The Goddess of War’s eyes gleamed with eagerness. "How about we test our skills?"
Ling Feng was somewhat exasperated. "Goddess Hila, since you know my Divine Status is incomplete, is there really a need for a contest?"
"Of course, there is!" The Goddess of War chuckled. "This might be my only chance to defeat the War God in a duel. I know the War God is reputed to be the strongest in one-on-one battles. If your Divine Status were complete, I wouldn’t be challenging you; that would be asking for trouble!"
Ling Feng let out a bitter laugh. "Alright, how do you want to compete? If we get serious, not only will it be hard to determine a winner in a short time, but there’s also no place that can withstand the aftermath of our battle!"
Ling Feng hadn’t forgotten that when two Main Gods once fought, they destroyed countless Plane Worlds, and he didn’t want that situation to repeat.
"It won’t be that kind of real, intense fight!" The Goddess of War waved her hand, and a small Fire Element puppet appeared before her. "Let’s use the same Divine Power to control an Elemental Puppet for battle. Whichever one’s Elemental Puppet’s Divine Power depletes first or collapses, that side loses. How about it?"
Ling Feng was a bit surprised; this felt a bit like a tabletop exercise.
"Good, this suits me perfectly!" Ling Feng raised his hand, and a Fire Element puppet appeared before him as well. Both sides infused the Fire Elemental Puppets with equal Divine Power and then controlled them to charge toward each other.
With a roar, the Goddess of Victory’s Fire Element was fierce, charging at Ling Feng’s Fire Element like a rabid lion, punching and kicking.
Ling Feng hastily controlled his Fire Element to block, and the two Fire Elements exchanged blows, each collision bringing a powerful wave, consuming a trace of Divine Power from each side with every clash.
"Goddess Hila, at this rate, your Fire Element is expending more than mine!" Ling Feng smiled slightly.
The Goddess of War raised her eyebrows. "Is that so? Are you sure about that?"
Ling Feng’s heart skipped a beat. It should be like that because her Fire Element consumed more than his. At this rate, her Fire Element would be the first to give in!
"War Horn!" The Goddess of War chuckled, and then her Fire Element radiated golden light, surprisingly starting to recover its dissipated Divine Power!
Ling Feng was astounded. "Isn’t that cheating?"
The Goddess of War said smugly, "How can this be considered cheating? My War Horn is one of my means as the Goddess of Victory. If I didn’t use it, wouldn’t that be unfair to you?"
The War Horn has the ability to restore Divine Power, and its greatest function is on the battlefield. However, in the current situation, the Divine Power restored by the War Horn became a critical factor in the battle.
With this shift, Ling Feng’s Fire Element had already consumed a considerable amount. Unless Ling Feng actively infused more Divine Power, his Fire Element would eventually be defeated.
"If that’s the case, then this is the only way!" Ling Feng thought to himself, then controlled his Fire Element to transform into a sword of fire, assaulting the opposing Fire Element!
"Ready to make a last-ditch effort?" The Goddess of War smiled slightly and lightly tapped her finger. A longsword appeared in her Fire Element’s hand, slashing towards Ling Feng’s Fire Element.
But what she didn’t expect was that within Ling Feng’s Fire Element there was a surge of Sword Intent. When the two swords crossed, Ling Feng’s Fire Element suddenly exploded with this powerful Sword Intent, and the Fire Element suddenly detonated!
Before the Goddess of War could even react, both Fire Elements had already perished together.
"Hey, couldn’t you let me win just once?" The Goddess of War looked at Ling Feng with discontent and said, "But I didn’t expect your judgment to be so decisive; I thought I was going to win!"
Ling Feng smiled slightly. "But you didn’t lose either, and I was already at a disadvantage. In that state, it was my only choice!"
The Goddess of War looked deeply at Ling Feng and smiled. "Alright, it’s just a game anyway. I’ll come looking for you tomorrow, and we’ll go to the Abyss of the Netherworld together."
Saying this, the Goddess of War’s body flickered and she disappeared from the Hall of the War God.
"Wind God of War? Indeed, a person who never gives up, even facing mutual destruction, wouldn’t easily speak of retreat. But this person is quite interesting!" The goddess mused to herself.
After the Goddess of War left, Yu Rujiao reappeared in the Hall of the War God.
"The War Banner you wanted, I didn’t bring it up!" Ling Feng said directly upon seeing Yu Rujiao.
Yu Rujiao’s face changed; she originally wanted to question Ling Feng, but the current Ling Feng was no longer the person he was on the Phantom Demon Continent; he was now the War God, one of the Twelve Main Gods. How could she, a mere Temple Envoy, question him?
"May I ask why?" Yu Rujiao suppressed the anger in her heart, trying hard to maintain a calm tone as she asked.
Ling Feng chuckled. "Because tomorrow I and the Goddess of War are going to the Abyss of the Netherworld, which is your homeland. I feel I should personally handle your matters, as you helped me a lot on the War God’s Path, and I feel obliged to help you resolve any lingering concerns!"
"What?" Yu Rujiao was shocked, finding it hard to believe as she looked at Ling Feng. She never thought Ling Feng would personally offer to help.
If Ling Feng personally helps, that’s the best possible outcome!
"Thank you, War God!" Yu Rujiao kneeled, expressing her gratitude with excitement.
Ling Feng teased, "No need to thank me, weren’t you cursing me in your heart just now?"
"I admit my guilt, please forgive me, my lord!" Yu Rujiao’s face turned a bit red.
Ling Feng waved it off. "Alright, I’m not a petty person. Go prepare, we’ll set off tomorrow!"
"Yes, my lord!" Yu Rujiao said solemnly, then slowly withdrew.
The next morning, the Goddess of War arrived at Ling Feng’s Main Temple, driving her War Chariot.
"Wind God of War, are you ready?"
Ling Feng appeared with Yu Rujiao, and the Goddess of War remarked, "Bringing a beauty along, are we on a vacation or something? That’s quite laid-back of you."
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Yu Rujiao is a Temple Envoy of the Shrine, also a member of my Hall of the War God. She’s also from the Abyss of the Netherworld, so bringing her along is just on the way."
"Oh? You’re from the Abyss of the Netherworld?" The Goddess of War looked at Yu Rujiao and asked curiously, "Then you should know the location of the Abyssal Demon Dragon, right?"
"The Abyssal Demon Dragon? Is that your target?" Yu Rujiao exclaimed in surprise.
