Godslayer: Aizen Template, I will stand in the heavens!

"Are you ready, Senior Wang?"

Li Lian gripped the scabbard of Ryujin Jakka at his waist with his left hand, placed his right hand on the hilt, and assumed a lunge stance—a standard Japanese Iaijutsu posture.

Wang Mian adjusted his cultivation level, controlling it to the early stage of the Pool Realm. "Alright, let's begin."

Two domains unfolded simultaneously. Wang Mian attempted to use the Time Restriction Ruins to completely envelop Li Lian, but the scorching aura around Li Lian stubbornly resisted. The collision of the different domains created enormous wind pressure, stirring up countless dust particles.

Just then, an invisible ripple spread across Wang Mian's eyes, and a powerful divine pressure burst forth from them, rushing straight into Li Lian's mind.

At this moment, an image of an old man with a white beard dressed in black suddenly appeared in Li Lian's mind. The old man's beard was too long, and he tied it up with a purple ribbon. There was also a cross-shaped scar on his forehead.

Holding a charred katana in his hand, he lightly swung the blade at the approaching ripples, and all the divine pressure vanished.

Wang Mian felt as if the divine power of the God of Time had struck thin air. Looking at Li Lian, who showed no reaction whatsoever, he was somewhat taken aback.

"Is this the Time Forbidden Ruins?" Li Lian looked at the somewhat astonished Wang Mian with a hint of joy.

"It seems my Ryujin Jakka is not bad either! Let me see just how fast you can accelerate time!"

The members of the [Masked] team were all stunned. Uzumaki gaped, saying in disbelief, "The god behind the captain has been defeated?"

Rose pondered for a moment, then whispered, "That Li Lian is also a divine agent, and he also uses the Divine Ruins. What they just fought was the divine power contained within their bodies!"

But it seems the captain lost?

Shunpo!

Slay him!

Li Lian's figure vanished instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already directly in front of Wang Mian. The Ryujin Jakka in his hand appeared with flames filling the sky, and the gleaming blade was less than ten centimeters away from Wang Mian's neck.

Li Lian unleashed his strongest attack in his normal state, knowing full well that his advantage lay in Wang's lack of understanding of him.

Rather than choosing to fight slowly and gradually increase one's attack power during the battle,

It's better to go all out from the start!

Everyone thought he fought Wang Mian to test his strength, but Li Lian's real purpose was to defeat Wang Mian and get his experience points!

Yes, what Li Lian said at the beginning was still a lie. After all, no one who wants to confirm their strength would abandon the entire battle process and choose to decide the outcome with one blow.

Who throws four twos at the start of a game of Dou Dizhu?

However, Li Lian lost four twos right from the start!

There'll be plenty of time to assess our strength later; gaining experience points is the most important thing right now!

Wang Mian's pupils contracted rapidly, the power of time flowing within him, accelerating his body and narrowly avoiding Li Lian's blade.

However, the flames attached to Li Lian's blade still affected him. The immense heat instantly stripped away the moisture from Wang Mian's skin, causing his lips to dry out and peel.

Wang Mian immediately retreated ten meters away, his movement speed no less than Li Lian's Instant Step.

"You're very fast, much faster than Lin Qiye just now!"

But now, it's my turn!

The [Yi Yuan] in Wang Mian's hand trembled slightly, as if it had disappeared into the air. Wang Mian still accelerated his attack speed, slashing towards Li Lian at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye!

The sounds of swords clashing rang out continuously. Wang Mian's Yi Yuan and Li Lian's Liu Ren Ruo Huo clashed repeatedly in the air, splashing flames everywhere.

Whether it was due to the high temperature distorting the air or the acceleration of time, the area where Li Lian and Wang Mian clashed gradually became blurred.

The two went all out from the very beginning of their fight, and the scorching air surged and spread in all directions, sending sand and gravel flying. The onlookers couldn't help but squint or cover their eyes with their hands.

"What kind of monster is this?! How can it block an attack at the captain's speed?"

Whirlpool carefully protected his mask, as if afraid that a gust of air would blow it apart. "He also has Lin Qiye's dynamic vision?! Can he see the captain's knife clearly?"

“No, he didn’t.” Tianping squinted, but his gaze never left the two combatants. “Li Lian’s eyes were closed! He was relying on his senses to defend against the attacks.”

"Holy crap, that's insane!"

Li Lian now felt as if he had returned to the feeling of his first time practicing swordsmanship, when Hong Ying taught him eight basic sword techniques.

The world went blank, with only him holding Ryujin Jakka and the sword in the King's hand that he could feel.

Even though Wang Mian's sword was the fastest sword he had ever encountered in his life, the marks it left were always so clear that he could easily block them by simply swinging his sword as he pleased.

Ten seconds later, Wang Mian's attack speed suddenly decreased, and Li Lian seized the opportunity to strike Yi Yuan with a heavy blow, knocking Wang Mian back.

Wang Mian:???

This can actually block it?

He even closed his eyes to block it?!

These days, the agents of the gods are all so perverted!

"Whew—! That was close, we almost crashed!"

Li Lian breathed a sigh of relief. His biggest worry was not being able to withstand Wang Mian's attack under the time acceleration, which is why he was thinking of deciding the outcome in one move.

However, his slash missed, and his idea of ​​deciding the outcome in one move failed.

Forced to accept the king's attacks, he unexpectedly entered a magical state, not only seeing the king's sword path clearly, but also feeling that his own swordsmanship had improved significantly once again.

An immature idea suddenly popped into Li Lian's mind: since Wang Mian couldn't use acceleration a second time in a short period of time, let's see if I can come up with some new tricks!

"It's my turn again, Senior Wang! Watch out!"

Li Lian once again used Instant Step to quickly approach Wang Mian, but this time it was not a downward sword draw slash, but a downward Ichimonji slash with both hands gripping the sword!

A snow-white blade, accompanied by a large ball of flame, slashed towards the king's face!

"Ichimonji-zan" is the Japanese term; in China, it's generally called "Lipi Huashan" (力劈华山).

The moves are old, but the main strength lies in a powerful, heavy strike that is unavoidable.

Wang Mian couldn't avoid it either. The Time Forbidden Ruins couldn't be used twice in a short period of time, so he had no choice but to grip Yi Yuan tightly with both hands and raise his sword to block.

clang!

The two blades clashed, sending sparks flying everywhere. Wang Mian felt his hands go numb. Ever since he obtained the forbidden weapon [Yi Yuan], he had always been the one intimidating others. This was the first time he had been intimidated so badly that his hands went numb!

Before the tingling and numbness in Wang Mian's hands could subside, Li Lian unleashed another horizontal slash from left to right!

Wang Mian held the knife upright in front of his chest and took another blow from Li Lian, making his hand even more numb!

clang!

Another loud collision rang out. Wang Mian never expected Li Lian's attack to come so fast and with such force. No wonder he was someone who could earn the title of genius from Chen Muyi!

Li Lian instantly reversed the direction of his blade, delivering another slash from right to left!

Clang clang clang clang clang!

With seven consecutive slashes, Li Lian used the most direct and simple sword technique to cut seven times from different directions. Including the initial downward slash, a total of eight slashes formed a circle in eight directions, enveloping the king's face.

Wang Mian and Li Lian clashed eight times in a very short period of time. Wang Mian felt his arms were sore and numb, and he could barely hold his knife!

The halberd in his hand was also raised high by Li Lian's final upward slash, revealing the vital spot on his chest!

Li Lian held the Flowing Blade Like Fire in his right hand, and with a quick step forward, he launched a swift thrust straight at Wang Mian's exposed chest and abdomen!

This was a knock-off version that Li Lian came up with on a whim and on a sudden impulse.
