Chapter 4369 - 4369 The Death of Wu Cang
4369 The Death of Wu Cang
Wu Cang was confident he could turn the tide despite being in a disadvantageous position. He had managed to do so twice in his life when almost everyone thought he would die. Hence, he managed to keep his composure despite the unfavorable situation he was in at the moment.
‘He’ll definitely suffer the backlash if I destroy his doppelgangers. At that time, I’ll be able to turn things around if I strike at the right time. I may even be able to kill him. Ha! You’re still too green to be able to kill me, boy!’
Wu Cang charged at Duan Ling Tian domineeringly. Flames of fury danced in his eyes. He looked as though he had lost his mind in his desperate bid to win this battle. However, contrary to his appearance, he was in fact very calm. He was pretending to lose his cool to fool Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian did not doubt Wu Cang’s act and thought that this was just Wu Cang’s final struggle before dying.
‘It seems like you have a death wish! I’m glad to grant you your wish!’
Duan Ling Tian did not know how strong the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements had become. Hence, before he even mobilized their powers, he had summoned his doppelgangers from the law of time and the law of space first. However, later, he discovered how strong the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements had become. He found that he could fight Wu Cang without the help of his doppelgangers.
‘I’ll summon my doppelgangers back first. Otherwise, it’ll take some time for them to recover if they’re injured…’
At the end of his thoughts, Duan Ling Tian teleported and reappeared in front of one of his doppelgangers before summoning it back into his body. Then, he teleported to his second doppelganger and did the same thing.
Upon seeing this, Wu Cang’s expression changed drastically.
‘How’s this possible?!’ Wu Cang shuddered inwardly as he thought to himself, ‘Did he see through my strategy? That’s impossible! His instincts are impeccable! Otherwise, why did he suddenly summon his doppelgangers back? After all, I’m attacking with all my might, but he still has the upper hand…’
Wu Cang fell into despair now that Duan Ling Tian foiled his plan.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was puzzled when he saw Wu Cang’s reaction. However, after a moment, his eyes widened imperceptibly when a thought flashed in his mind.
‘Did he plan to destroy my doppelgangers?’ Duan Ling Tian’s heart skipped a beat when he thought of this. He did not expect that he would unintentionally prevent a disaster. Although he would not die from it, it was inevitable that he would suffer some injuries if Wu Cang carried out his plan.
Meanwhile, the Crimson Demon looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock as he wondered inwardly, ‘Is it sheer luck or did he see through Wu Cang’s plan?’
The Crimson Demon knew that Wu Cang would not lose his composure in the face of death. After all, Wu Cang had been his personal demon guard for many years. However, he did not realize Wu Cang’s plan until he saw Wu Cang’s reaction after Duan Ling Tian summoned his doppelgangers back.
‘The doppelgangers are like a double-edged sword. If they’re destroyed, the original body will suffer backlash to a certain degree for a short time. Although he’s stronger than Wu Cang with the help of the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements, he’s only a little stronger than Wu Cang. If Wu Cang manages to destroy even one of his doppelgangers, Wu Cang might have been able to turn things around as long as he strikes at the right time…’
The Crimson Demon suddenly felt reluctant to sacrifice Wu Cang. However, he quickly dismissed his thoughts and shifted his attention to Duan Ling Tian.
‘Wu Cang will be suspicious of me if I save him now, and he might spoil my plans in the future. Oh, well, his life in exchange for a monstrous prodigy is definitely worth it…’ the Crimson Demon thought to himself, feeling more at ease.
Meanwhile, the Centurions watched the battle in disbelief. They did not expect Wu Cang, who was mighty in their eyes and almost invincible among advanced Supreme Gods, would be suppressed by an intermediate Supreme God. A few of them could not help but speculate among themselves.
‘Where did this monstrous intermediate Supreme God come from? Is he a prodigy from one of the strongest Worlds?”
The Centurions were not worried that Duan Ling Tian’s formidable background would cause trouble to Crimson Demon Ridge. After all, the Formation in Crimson Demon Ridge also cut off communication with the outside world. The Crimson Demon would never risk the safety of Crimson Demon Ridge.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian looked at Wu Cang and said nonchalantly, “Nice strategy. Unfortunately, you missed your chance. I’m going to fight you without my doppelgangers…”
Previously, Duan Ling Tian had used his law of space when he summoned his doppelgangers back. Now, he switched his law of space for the law of time before he attacked again. He charged toward Wu Cang with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword in his hand.
Wu Cang hastily blocked Duan Ling Tian’s attack. At this moment, after Duan Ling Tian foiled his plan, his fighting spirit had diminished by half. Dispirited, he could not withstand more than ten blows from Duan Ling Tian and was eventually killed by Duan Ling Tian.
Just like that, a top advanced Supreme God who had comprehended the law of thunder to the perfect form perished.
When Wu Cang collapsed to the ground, lightning flashed in the sky above Crimson Demon Ridge and thunder resounded in the sky. At the same time, a huge figure appeared in the sky before crumbling as well. It was similar to the phenomenon that appeared on the God Defying World’s Realm Battlefield when a Supreme God died. In fact, the phenomenon in the God Defying World was an imitation of the phenomenon in the Outer Boundary, and it was more exaggerated. If a powerhouse like Wu Cang died on the Realm Battlefield, the phenomenon would have been earth-shaking. On the contrary, in the Outer Boundary, only a dozen lightning bolts flashed in the sky when the huge figure appeared and collapsed. The phenomenon could only be seen from about ten miles away.
“Lord Cang is dead!”
The Centurions were in shock and disbelief as they watched the mighty Wu Cang die before their eyes.
At the same time, the two Centurions who fought Duan Ling Tian previously felt chills running up their spines. Fortunately, Duan Ling Tian had no intention of killing them earlier. Otherwise, they would definitely die.
“Senior.”
Duan Ling Tian turned to look at the master of Crimson Demon Ridge, a supreme powerhouse, after killing Wu Cang. Although he looked calm at the moment, in the depths of his heart, he was worried that the Crimson Demon would go back on his words. If the Crimson Demon went back on his words, everything he had done up until now would have been in vain.
