Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 1011: I’ll Kill You in 10 Strikes

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“You’re seeking death!” the pirate said with a cold chuckle.

When cultivators fought, they were most afraid of engaging in close-quarter combat. This was especially so if one were battling against someone more powerful or someone at the same cultivation level.

If one were to charge into close-quarter combat against someone more powerful, they were naturally seeking death. Meanwhile, if they engaged in close-quarter combat against someone at the same cultivation level, they would face a constant threat of death.

On the other hand, if one were much stronger than their opponent, engaging in close-quarter combat was definitely the fastest way to end a battle.

‘This brat’s cultivation level is far lower than mine. He’s seeking death by charging toward me!

‘He can’t be a five-star genius, right? Even if he is, his battle prowess will only be on the same level as me.’

The pirate quickly swung his saber toward Ling Han. He wanted to end this battle in the shortest time possible.

“I’ll kill you in 10 strikes!” Ling Han said with a smile.

Pu!

The pirate almost spluttered in surprise. That was his line, okay? A mere cultivator at the early stage of the medium extreme was actually threatening to kill him in 10 strikes? Where did his courage come from?

“Brat, accept your death!” Divine patterns materialized on his saber as it cut through the air even more quickly. It was as if the saber were awakening.

This wasn’t because his saber was a God Tool. Rather, this change was brought about because his martial intent had enveloped his weapon as he battled against Ling Han. Right now, his saber was like an extension of his body.

Thus, his saber couldn’t be underestimated even though it didn’t possess the might of a genuine God Tool.

Weng!

A black glow radiated from the saber blade as a dazzling and destructive ray of light blasted into the deck, carving a deep and menacing groove in it.

Ling Han danced about and continued to harass his opponent with his divine patterns of gravity. Add to that his Seven Kill Subduing Soul Technique, and the pirate could barely unleash 50% of his true battle prowess.

One didn’t necessarily need to have a higher battle prowess to defeat their enemy. Weakening the enemy’s battle prowess could also help one achieve victory.

They exchanged blow after blow, and they had already exchanged nine strikes in a mere few seconds.

The pirate didn’t dare underestimate Ling Han any longer. However, his opponent was also kidding if he wanted to dispose of him in 10 strikes. ‘There’s only one strike left. You’re dreaming if you want to kill me!’

Ling Han ferociously charged over, and it appeared as if he wanted to sacrifice his life to kill the pirate.

The pirate was startled by this. However, his surprise quickly transformed into a cold chuckle.

He was confident that he could kill Ling Han first. Once Ling Han died, the gravity field that affected him would naturally disappear as well. At that time, he would recover his full battle prowess, so how would Ling Han’s strike still be able to hurt him?

‘How foolish. Do you think you’re invincible just because you can hamper my battle prowess?’

He viciously swung his saber at Ling Han’s head.

It was a shame that no one from the Imperial Capital was here to witness this sight. Otherwise, they would all kindly urge him to definitely, definitely not underestimate Ling Han’s physique. Doing so would merely be seeking death.

Boom!

His saber struck down, and sure enough, it hit Ling Han’s head before Ling Han could reach him. However, what happened next was astounding.

Weng!

The saber shuddered, and surprisingly rebounded off Ling Han’s head!

Pu!

The pirate’s eyes almost bulged out of his head. The sight before him was far beyond his comprehension. Only now did he realize why Ling Han was so confident. His physique was simply inhumane!

‘Not good!’ he shouted in his mind.

However, it was already too late for him to retreat. He had initially planned on killing Ling Han, which would in turn greatly reduce the might of Ling Han’s own attack. If he succeeded, he wouldn’t face any danger at all.

But now?

A sharp pain stabbed at his chest, and power instantly drained from his body.

“The 10th strike!” Ling Han’s voice echoed next to his ear, yet it sounded as if he was extremely far away. He could barely comprehend what had happened before his consciousness slowly drifted into darkness.
