Chapter 1122 Lei Tianming, the Strongest Expert in the Lakon Territory!
But now that he thought about it, how could his face be more important than Wei Ping’s life?
Compared to the meaningless concept of face, the loss of Wei Ping was the greatest!
At this moment, Lei Tianming was filled with remorse, but it was already too late.
The experts from Lakon Territory, upon hearing the captain’s words, also feel uncomfortable.
Before, they questioned the captain’s choice, thinking the captain was overreacting, sending Wei Ping, a rookie from a new territory, was a waste.
Now, it was clear that it wasn’t a waste. It wasn’t even enough.
“Captain, the responsibility for this matter is not on you, and we didn’t see it coming.”
“Yeah, this Liu Yan is too well-hidden, and he has too many secrets. We never expected a rookie to have such powerful strength.”
“It’s our fault. We doubted the captain before, influencing his judgment. If we had agreed, maybe we could have had the captain on stage directly, and there wouldn’t be this tragedy now!”
“Captain, you must deal with Liu Yan, and seek revenge for Ding Sheng, Ding Li, and Wei Ping!”
“Yes, Captain. You must kill Liu Yan, make sure this guy stays on the battlefield forever!”
“This guy is too terrifying. We can’t let him return to the Origin Territory, or he will become a huge threat!”
Lei Tianming nods slightly, saying, “Don’t worry, I will make this guy pay the price!”
Lei Tianming, through the recent battle between Liu Yan and Wei Ping, had already realized that although Liu Yan was stronger than Wei Ping, the difference between them was not significant.
Therefore, in terms of strength, while Liu Yan was undoubtedly powerful, he was still not on par with Lei Tianming.
Coupled with the continuous battles and the recent fight against Wei Ping, Liu Yan had consumed a considerable amount of energy, and his state had declined.
In this situation, Lei Tianming was confident that he could keep Liu Yan and permanently resolve the threat, not letting Liu Yan escape.
At this moment, the announcement from the Will of Tower echoed once again.
“The next small-scale battle was about to begin. Lakon Territory, please send out your next contestant!”
Hearing the Will of Tower announcement, Lei Tianming didn’t say much. He stepped into the teleportation array and was transported to the battlefield.
On the battlefield, Liu Yan and Lei Tianming stood facing each other.
This barrier, before the battle officially started, could keep the two separated, but it couldn’t block perception and sound.
Lei Tianming immediately sensed Liu Yan’s strength. After a brief perception, he understood Liu Yan’s strength, it was at the early stage of 21-star combat strength!
Finding out that Liu Yan was at the early stage of 21-star combat strength surprised Lei Tianming.
Previously, during the arena battle, the barrier isolated him, preventing him from sensing the specific situation, and naturally, he didn’t know Liu Yan’s exact strength.
However, based on Liu Yan and Wei Ping’s battle, where they were evenly matched, Lei Tianming had initially deduced that Liu Yan’s combat strength was 23-star or even 24-star.
After all, Wei Ping’s combat strength was 22-star, but Wei Ping’s talent was exceptionally terrifying, allowing him to consistently outperform his level.
Wei Ping’s talent was extremely remarkable. When facing opponents of the same star level, he could effortlessly defeat them.
Even against opponents one star higher, he could easily emerge victorious.
Facing those with a two-star advantage, he could defeat most and be evenly matched with a few.
In Lakon Territory, there were a few other experts with a combat strength of 24-star besides Wei Ping.
However, Wei Ping’s actual combat strength surpassed theirs.
This made Wei Ping the second-strongest expert in Lakon Territory.
Coupled with Wei Ping’s terrifying talent that allowed him to consistently fight above his level, it was inevitable that he possessed an extremely high upper limit.
This was why Lakon Territory always regarded Wei Ping as a precious asset for the entire territory.
Considering Wei Ping’s astonishing talent, his future potential was destined to be extraordinary, possibly surpassing even the strongest individual in Lakon Territory, Lei Tianming.
Lei Tianming believed that Wei Ping was the most heaven-defying existence and that he wouldn’t encounter anyone else with such an exceptional talent.
However, to his surprise, today he encountered an even more formidable individual.
On the other side, Liu Yan managed to use his combat strength at the early stage of 21 stars to successfully defeat and kill Wei Ping, who had a combat strength of 22 stars.
Wei Ping had consistently excelled in fights above his level, dominating and defeating opponents.
Lei Tianming had never anticipated that there would come a day when Wei Ping would be defeated by someone stronger, truly a surprising turn of events.
Upon learning about Liu Yan’s terrifying talent, Lei Tianming was resolute.
Regardless of the circumstances, he had to thoroughly deal with Liu Yan on this battlefield, ensuring that Liu Yan remained on the battlefield indefinitely.
Otherwise, if Liu Yan, who had such terrifying talent, left alive and continued to grow, he would become a huge threat to the entire Lakon Territory!
Now was the best time to deal with Liu Yan!
Lei Tianming fixed a tight gaze on Liu Yan and slowly remarked, “21-star of combat strength, yet wielding such power. It’s quite extraordinary. If I hadn’t witnessed it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it. Unfortunately, you are my adversary. Otherwise, I would genuinely consider recruiting you and making you part of our own!”
Lei Tianming genuinely felt a sense of regret. If Liu Yan wasn’t a match for him, and their relationship hadn’t reached this irreconcilable state, he would have liked to bring Liu Yan into Lakon Territory.
Someone with such a heaven-defying talent, if nurtured, could potentially alter the future fate of Lakon Territory.
Unfortunately, this was impossible. Liu Yan would only become their opponent.
In this situation, all he could do was seize this opportunity to eliminate Liu Yan. There was no other choice!
Upon hearing Lei Tianming’s words, Liu Yan couldn’t help but feel surprised.
Liu Yan had employed a concealment skill to mask his true strength.
Even entities with higher strength than Liu Yan would find it challenging to perceive his true power.
Similar to the situation with Wei Ping earlier, despite Wei Ping having one star higher in strength, before the battle, he believed Liu Yan only had 19 stars of combat strength. It was only during the actual confrontation that he discovered Liu Yan possessed 21-star combat strength.
Currently, Lei Tianming could sense Liu Yan’s strength from a distance before the battle initiated.
Liu Yan was aware that Lei Tianming not only surpassed him in strength but significantly so. Only with considerable strength could he achieve this.
Liu Yan couldn’t help but speculate that Lei Tianming’s strength was likely above 25-star combat strength.
For a moment, Liu Yan even felt a bit excited, eager to engage in a proper battle with Lei Tianming.
Even if the other party’s strength exceeded Liu Yan’s by four stars, he believed that with his strength, he might still have a fighting chance.
After all, he had just dealt with Wei Ping, and Liu Yan hadn’t truly unleashed his full strength. He still had a few potent cards left.
However, this thought lasted only briefly before Liu Yan quickly dismissed it.
There would be ample opportunities in the future for sparring and engaging in battles to the death. There was no need to rush into it now.
In this territory battle, Liu Yan and Team Origin achieved their objectives.
Although they lost the entire territory battle, winning several small battles still yielded commendable rewards.
Most importantly, he successfully killed three experts from the Lakon Territory, particularly Wei Ping. This significantly diminished the overall strength of the Lakon Territory.
Liu Yan and the Origin Territory had accomplished their goals. There was no need to waste more time or take unnecessary risks.
Liu Yan made up his mind. When the battle began, he would not consider anything else. He would only consider defending and admitting defeat and leaving. Everything would be for safety. There was no need for excessive confrontation.
