Chapter 1184: Battle Tan Lin (1/2)

Huang Xiaolong, Zhou Xu, Luo Yunjie, Tan Lin, and the rest stepped up to draw a token each.

After drawing a token, Huang Xiaolong turned it over and saw a number two written on it.

Others also did the same; Zhou Xu's token was the number one, and the other person who drew the number two token was the Twin Cities Sect's Tan Lin!

Tan Lin!

Huang Xiaolong's eyes narrowed for a second, he didn't expect the first battle for the top ten positions would be against Tan Lin who had an emperor rank godhead!

'Tan Lin, a peak early Second Order Ancient God Realm, possessing a unique physique and the Illusionary Godhead?' Huang Xiaolong sneered.

Huang Xiaolong had been looking forward to battles for the top ten ranks.

Tan Lin was watching Huang Xiaolong with ferocity, even chuckling as he drew his thumb across his own neck.

After all ten disciples had drawn their lots, Gong Fei declared the first match: ”Dragon Origin Sect’s Zhou Xu, Luoshan Cult's Tao Ming, please come up to the stage!”

The disciple who drew number one token was the Luoshan Cult's Tao Ming.

Zhou Xu and Tao Ming both leaped onto the stage, landing at the center.

At this point, compared to Zhou Xu's calm, Tao Ming wasn't looking very good. Everyone knew that Zhou Xu's strength was at peak early Second Order Ancient God Realm and that he had the Thousand Dragon Physique, not to mention his Violent Dragon Godhead. Battling Zhou Xu would surely lead to a loss.

Although Tao Ming was ranked fifth in the preliminary round, he was greatly lacking compared to Zhou Xu.

”Senior Brother Zhou Xu, please be lenient.” Tao Ming said, cupping his hands at Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu calmly said, ”Looking at the relation between our sects, I shall allow you three moves first.”

Among the top ten islands, there were both rivalries and alliances, Dragon Origin Sect and Luoshan Cult had almost been on good terms.

Allow you three moves!

Tao Ming looked a little uncomfortable having Zhou Xu give him a three move handicap.

”Please!” Tao Ming said and his figure was already in midair, leaving a stretch of blurred images behind him but each seemingly real.

”This is the True Body!”

”In the Luoshan Cult, only their Ancestor succeeded in cultivating this technique, I didn't expect this Tao Ming to have also succeeded!”

True Body was the Luoshan Cult's highest level of movement technique. After executing it, the area would be filled with images of the user, and just like it's name, each image was a true body!

However, cultivating this movement techniques required a high comprehension of the space law. Not only that, it also required a unique godhead that could produce light element godforce!

”Bright Sword Canon!” Someone shouted.

As the crowd exclaimed in surprise, Tao Ming arrived in front of Zhou Xu in an instant. At some point, a long sword appeared in his hand, extremely thin and almost transparent as if it had become one with space. The sword in Tao Ming's hand slashed out like a sun whose bright radiance spread over ten thousand zhang, harsh to the eyes.

The Bright Sword Canon was originally not the Luoshan Cult's technique, but the highest sword technique belonging to a powerful ancient Sect named Bright Sword Sect. It seems like, through one of Tao Ming's fortuitous encounters, he had obtained this Bright Sword Canon technique.

Tao Ming's sword light reached Zhou Xu's chest in the blink of an eye, then went on to pierce him. However, the instant the tip of the sword light was about to pierce into Zhou Xu's chest, Tao Ming was stunned, for that was only Zhou Xu's afterimage! 'When did he leave behind an afterimage?' He hadn't even noticed! Not only him, even Luo Yunjie, Tan Lin, and others were narrowing their eyes.

A light glimmered in Huang Xiaolong's eyes looking at Zhou Xu. This Zhou Xu used a movement technique similar to an Ancestor God Realm's Greater Space Teleportation, and 'teleported' to another point on the stage. It's just that his action was too fast and others were unable to perceive it.

Merely a moment later, Tao Ming recovered his senses and determined Zhou Xu's position, thus his sword thrust out, attacking once more. This time, Tao Ming's sword burst out in brilliant light, his godforce condensing into terrifying sword qi that exploded like torrential rain from the sky, covering the stage.

”This is the Void Sword Gate's Heavenly Rain Sword Technique!”
