Chapter 1968: The Invisible Battle

It looked as if Ye Zhangqing had thrown a punch at empty air, but the next second, Tianlin's figure slowly materialized where there had been no one.

And the spot where he had been, that figure slowly faded away.

No one saw when or how Tianlin appeared behind Ye Zhangqing.

In everyone's view, Tianlin seemed to have stood still the whole time, never moving.

But Ye Zhangqing saw through the deception at a glance, and as soon as Tianlin moved, he countered.

Ye Zhangqing blocked the first strike, and a strange glint flashed in Tianlin's eyes.

If it were any other youngster, even those old masters, that move would have left them badly injured.

But Ye Zhangqing caught it with ease.

But before Tianlin could speak, Ye Zhangqing spoke first.

"Friend, your cultivation of spatial law is excellent; you've reached perfection."

Tianlin could appear so strangely behind someone only because of his profound mastery of spatial law.

His grasp of spatial law surpasses not just the younger generation but even the old masters.

Seeing Ye Zhangqing pinpoint the cause in a single sentence, Tianlin also gave a slight smile.

"Friend, you have keen eyes."

After saying that, Tianlin's figure strangely vanished again in place, with no disturbance in the surrounding space.

He can come and go without a trace; Tianlin is the first person Ye Zhangqing has ever seen who can control spatial law to such a degree.

With such ability, even if he weren't the Heavenly Family's young master, he'd still be a king among assassins.

It leaves people unable to guard against it.

Unfortunately, Tianlin's grasp of spatial law is indeed extraordinary, but Ye Zhangqing, though lacking talent, also has some insight in this area.

"What strange movements—you can't even see the Young Master's actions at all."

"Yeah, it's not a movement technique, and there's not the slightest fluctuation in space."

"This is where the Young Master's strength lies."

"Ye Zhangqing is no slouch either—he saw through the false and real at a glance and easily blocked the Young Master's attack."

"This has only just begun—what's there to brag about blocking a single strike?"

The crowd below was buzzing with excitement—was this the monstrous battle? Just the beginning already made their blood boil.

Both sides have only shown the tip of the iceberg, yet everyone present felt an overwhelming, unfathomable strength.

The upcoming battle will undoubtedly become even more exciting.

But just as everyone was talking, Tianlin's figure vanished again, and the next second Ye Zhangqing also strangely disappeared in place.

And like Tianlin, it caused no spatial disturbance whatsoever.

Not even a ripple appeared in the surrounding space as the two vanished one after another before everyone's eyes.

"This.................."

Seeing Ye Zhangqing vanish just like Tianlin, and having no idea what had happened.

Many cultivators below were shocked and stood dumbfounded.

This technique is practically not weaker than the Young Master's.

However, those strange movements are originally Tianlin's signature move, but now Ye Zhangqing............ does he also know it?

Thinking of this, many could not stay calm.

"Does Ye Zhangqing know the Young Master's secret technique?"

"It's not really a secret; the Young Master can come and go without trace mainly because of his grasp of spatial law—if you can reach his level of understanding, you can do it too."

"You say that so lightly—then tell me what level that is? What realm?"

"If I had this ability, that ancient dragon true blood would already be in my pocket."

Everyone knows Tianlin's methods, but they just can't pull them off.

After all, mastery of laws isn't something you can just claim to comprehend—moreover, the difficulty only grows, increasing exponentially.

To attain Tianlin's level of comprehension, people fear they could never achieve it even if they spent their whole lives trying.

But right now, Ye Zhangqing has done it, and appears not the slightest bit weaker than the Young Master.

Now this gets interesting—their strength is truly evenly matched, neck and neck.

Only then is it attractive—a monstrous battle would be pointless if the sides weren't evenly matched.

Everyone eagerly awaits the upcoming great battle.

However, after a few breaths, everyone's brows furrowed tightly.

Someone among them couldn't help muttering.

"Where are they? I can't see them."

After Tianlin and Ye Zhangqing vanished one after another in midair, the whole battlefield—no, the whole sky—returned to calm.

The fierce battle everyone imagined didn't appear—or perhaps it did, but nobody could see it.

At this moment, everyone just stared blankly at the empty sky, like fools in a daze.

Not a single figure remained in the sky; Ye Zhangqing and Tianlin had no idea where they had gone.

The original anticipation quickly dissipated.

"Where are they? I'm not watching for nothing."

Some were unwilling, even extending their divine sense to try to trace the two, but even under divine sense scrutiny they found nothing.

Their spatial law far surpasses anything they could comprehend.

If their cultivation weren't suppressed, some might rely on their superior cultivation to perhaps find them, but with equal cultivation there's nothing they can do.

Now everyone's faces turned dark.

What happened to the promised Yāoniè great battle? We've been waiting here for several days.

What's especially frustrating is not that this fierce battle hasn't broken out, but that it has broken out, yet because of their own strength, they can't see the course of the fight.

That's just hurtful.

Especially those old senior powerhouses, as they grow old, they also begin to doubt their own strength.

Knowing that nowadays is an era of great contention, these few junior Yāoniè are each more heaven-defying than the last.

They never thought they'd have to compare themselves with these juniors; they've all admitted defeat, acknowledging that your talent is indeed strong and your future achievements will surely far surpass ours.

We've all backed down; now we just want to watch a battle, to see the excitement from the sidelines.

But damn, this isn't acceptable? Not being able to see is just too hurtful.

All around, many cultivators are anxiously scratching their ears and cheeks. Hey, you guys, stop playing those fancy tricks and come out to fight properly.

Let us also see the excitement.

Unfortunately, Ye Zhangqing and Tianlin obviously don't know the roar of complaints in everyone's hearts, and at this very moment, the two engaged in the fierce battle simply have no leisure to attend to it.

In a place where no one can see, or rather at such speed, Ye Zhangqing and Tianlin are fighting fiercely.

Faced with Ye Zhangqing actually being able to keep up with him, Tianlin is also overjoyed.

Not bad, it's a surprise; this feeling, Tianlin has never experienced before—exerting the power of laws to the fullest, yet the opponent can still keep up with the rhythm.

Both sides are wildly weaving through space, the fierce battle unceasing; this feeling truly makes it hard to suppress the hot blood in one's heart, igniting it.
