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

The nine sword lights were like a nine-headed dragon tearing and attacking forward, and the flames all over the sky were like the clouds where the dragon was hiding. Li Lian's extremely fierce nine swords actually had a strange sense of beauty.

Regardless of the strength of those nine attacks, this combo of slashes was indeed very cool!

Moreover, unlike Wang Mian's sword strikes which were invisible to the naked eye due to accelerated time, Li Lian's nine sword strikes were purely for show. It's not that his sword strikes weren't fast, but rather that each strike left an afterimage in the air!

That's right, it was an afterimage deliberately left behind by Li Lian.

I'm already using a katana, can't I even look cool for once?!

(Tachi Hero: Use the Iai Slash and Kaden Dragon combo to take him out in one go via the Palico cart.)

He's handsome, that's all that matters!

A deadly thrust, accompanied by a wave of heat, hurtled toward Wangmian's chest; Wangmian had no way to dodge!

At this critical moment, Wang Mian used the Time Imprisonment technique again. The [Yi Yuan] that had been knocked away returned to Wang Mian's chest and blocked Li Lian's final thrust with its blade!

boom!

Seeing that Wang Mian had blocked his final strike, Li Lian had no time to think. He instantly channeled all his spiritual power into Liuren Ruo Huo.

A violent flame erupted from the blade of Ryujin Jakka, instantly engulfing the King's face and forming a huge fireball!

The instructors in the underground observation room were all dumbfounded!

"Commander! Isn't Li Lian hiding something too much?" one of the instructors said in disbelief.

"This fancy way of using a knife definitely wasn't taught to him by Chen Muyi!" Yuan Gang said through gritted teeth.

"This brat has really started to forge his own path; at the very least, this move was definitely his own idea!"

Use rapid slashes in different directions to disrupt the opponent's balance and weapon positioning, especially the final thrust, which departs from the head-on clashes of the first eight strikes, quickly and directly attacking the enemy's vulnerable position.

These tricks are just like Li Lian himself: first, he leaves a fixed stereotype about people, and then he uses that stereotype to trick them.

No wonder Chen Muyi called him a 'sword prodigy'!

Lin Qiye had already activated his golden eyes the moment Li Lian unleashed his Instant Step Slash, and he wanted to know what level Li Lian, now in the Pool Realm, could achieve.

When Wang Mian used time acceleration to attack Li Lian, Lin Qiye's eyes could no longer keep up. If it were him, even if his eyes saw it, his body wouldn't have time to react before he was hit.

However, Li Lian accepted the attack with his eyes closed. Later, while the forbidden area was cooling down during the King's face, he launched a counterattack in a way that surprised Lin Qiye.

After all, even he had never seen Li Lian use this move. If Li Lian hadn't been secretly practicing it all along, then it could only be said that this move was something he had just come up with, a self-created sword technique!

Thinking back to when he practiced swordsmanship with the captain, he would always get beaten black and blue by the wooden sword, while Li Lian would always be fine after practicing with the captain.

Li Lian is truly skilled in swordsmanship!

With a "whoosh," Wang Mian escaped from the flames, his clothes on his chest mostly burned away, and part of his mask was charred.

However, a mysterious power flowed through his body, and Wang Mian returned to his previous appearance, except for a slight mental lethargy.

"Hey! Are you trying to cheat?!"

Seeing that he had fought for so long but Wang Mian was still the same as before, without even a speck of dust on his body, Li Lian almost fainted.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Wang Mian simply replied nonchalantly, as if nothing had happened.

The Time Forbidden Ruins truly lives up to its reputation as an abnormal ability; winning this battle will be incredibly difficult!

How are we supposed to play this? Do we really have to wage a war of attrition against the King?

While Li Lian was using his clever little brain to come up with a solution, Wang Mian's heart was not as calm as he appeared.

Li Lian's knock-off version of the Nine-Headed Dragon Flash truly opened his eyes. He had never seen anyone wield a knife like that before. It was always a head-on clash of sword techniques, but this guy suddenly came up with a straight thrust. Who could withstand that!

It's like you've almost finished eating an apple, and then you find half a worm in the last bite...

That's absolutely disgusting!

Then there was the final burst of fiery power. Even though he used the power of time to heal his injuries, his mental energy seemed to be constantly being burned, causing him an indescribable discomfort.

Li Lian thought for a while and then looked at his system skill interface. No matter what skill it was, it didn't seem to be useful for the Time Forbidden Ruins.

I'm not going to think about it anymore! Instead of targeting the Time Forbidden Ruins, let's just deal with King Face directly!

I refuse to believe that someone with your mere pool-level mental strength can keep rewinding time!

A war of attrition it is, I'll go all out against you!

But let me drink some water first before I start arguing with you. Better safe than sorry!

Without hesitation, Li Lian pulled out a mineral water bottle and started drinking water in large gulps!

The opposing king was dumbfounded. It hadn't been that long since they started fighting.

Didn't you drink water right before the fight started?

Thirsty again?

Li Lian finished his water, let out a burp, and casually tossed the empty bottle aside. He then pointed his Ryujin Jakka at Wang Mian.

"I'm going to get serious now! Watch out!"

Everything in the world returns to ashes. Flowing Blade Like Fire!

A large amount of flame instantly wrapped around the blade of Ryujin Jakka, the bright flames flowing back and forth on the blade like water, and the temperature within the area instantly rose to an extremely terrifying level!

However, unlike the last time when Li Lian was roasted into a dried-up corpse using Shikai, this time there were no flames surrounding Li Lian. Li Lian struggled to control the flames, suppressing them around the blade of Ryujin Jakka.

In this state, Li Lian lost the protection of the flames, but the time he could unleash his initial release was greatly extended.

At least it won't cause Li Lian to lose all his moisture!

Even so, the initial release consumes a huge amount of Li Lian's spiritual and mental energy, and time is not very plentiful!

With a horizontal slash, crimson flames surged towards the king's face like a tidal wave, only to collide with an equally exaggerated blade aura halfway through its flight.

The flames and the blade energy collided in mid-air, resulting in a draw, and then both disappeared.

The [Yi Yuan] in Wang Mian's hand was also unsealed at this moment. It was with the help of this forbidden item that he was able to unleash the sword energy!

Li Lian and Wang Mian's eyes met in mid-air, and in a brief moment, they made the same choice at the same time!

Li Lian wielded the Flowing Blade Fire with incredible speed, the fiery blade energy launching continuous attacks on the king's face like a tide.

Wang Mian also continuously used the Time God Ruins to accelerate the Yi Yuan in his hand, setting up a net of blade energy in front of him!

The flames and blade energy collided repeatedly, causing massive explosions. The scattered blade energy and flames frightened the onlookers, who retreated continuously until they were fifty meters away, at which point they felt the impact lessen.

"Seven Nights, now I understand why you said Li Lian's moves were too dangerous. When Wang Mian used that [Yi Yuan] in the Zhan Realm, its attack strength was comparable to that of the Chuan Realm."

But Li Lian is actually able to confront such a powerful king head-on, that's really impressive!

By the way, what's the origin of that knife he's holding? And why is there some forbidden item I don't recognize?

Baili Pangpang's gaze at Li Lian's Flowing Blade is almost scabbed with disbelief. He doesn't understand why he's never even heard of such a powerful forbidden artifact.

"The knife in his hand is not a forbidden object, but his divine ruins."

Baili Pangpang: ( ′?w?)？

"And that outfit is also part of the Divine Ruins."

Baili Pangpang: ( ′?w?)？ ?

Which deity granted the agent the divine ruins in the form of forbidden objects?

This is too unreliable!
