I'm not a drama god

Chapter 1708 Real Skills

As the power of the trial swept across the sky.

The enormous glass trophy was instantly erased by an invisible force of deconstruction—not by explosion, not by shattering, but by complete and utter disappearance… not even a tiny shard of glass remained.

The moment Han Meng wiped away the glass trophy, the "sun" that constantly emitted light in the imaginary world also disappeared.

Endless darkness shrouded the imaginary world, cutting off all paths of light leading to it. It was like a sealed black box, where even a hand right next to you couldn't be seen.

As the world plunged into darkness, Lingxu-jun's pupils contracted slightly...

Even though he was trying his best to suppress it, his breathing became slightly heavy. The formula that had been repeatedly applied to Chen Ling disappeared for a moment as his mind went blank.

It was in this brief moment that Chen Ling seized the opportunity, and he leaped into the air in an instant, his ruby-like eyes seeming to hold the last glimmer of light in this world.

The disappearance of light also rendered all the formulas that distort light invalid. Relying on her senses, Chen Ling slashed upwards with her sword!

Next second,

Warm blood dripped onto Chen Ling's cheek.

Chen Ling knew she had made the right bet...

He didn't know how much Lingxu Jun was injured by this strike, but it was undoubtedly the first time Chen Ling had injured his opponent since the start of the war.

A muffled groan came from above, and the intense pain seemed to awaken Lingxu Jun's reason. With a flick of his fingers, a huge fireball burst forth from the darkness, like a temporary sun, releasing light and heat.

Under the light of the fireball, Chen Ling finally saw Ling Xujun's current state. A bloody slash had spread from his shoulder to his ribs on the other side. The bloody cut and the embroidered nail wound overlapped, and blood kept gushing out, soaking the monk's robe.

Moreover, under the influence of the toxins that Chen Ling had prepared in advance, a black tinge began to spread from the wound. However, Lingxujun seemed to have anticipated this and immediately stopped the blood flow in that area, preventing the toxins from spreading.

"How do you know..."

Under the burning fireball, Lingxu Jun's appearance was obscured by shadows, but his eyes, which were looking at Chen Ling, revealed an undisguised look of astonishment.

What surprised him wasn't that Chen Ling's blade had managed to strike him; that was purely Chen Ling's good luck in the darkness... He simply couldn't understand why Chen Ling seemed to have conspired with the people outside before entering this place to seal off the light.

How did Chen Ling know that she was afraid of the dark?

Then, as if he realized something:

"I see... It seems that I... trust you a lot in the next world."

“The you in the next world will be much more reliable than the you now,” Chen Ling said calmly.

After striking with her sword, Chen Ling did not relax. Instead, she seized the opportunity and charged towards Lingxu Jun with her sword while simultaneously extending a large amount of red paper from her body, transforming it into a giant hand that blotted out the sky and reached for the burning fireball!

Without a continuous external light source, the illumination from these fireballs would only be temporary. Chen Ling needed to create another opportunity to distract Ling Xujun, just like before. After all, Ling Xujun was too strong, and only by finding a weakness could he truly injure him.

But Lingxu Jun had already realized this, so how could he easily let Chen Ling have her way? Just as the giant red paper hand was about to touch the fireball, the fireball exploded again, and the extreme heat directly annihilated a large amount of red paper into nothingness...

At the same time, another round of burning fireballs burst forth from the darkness.

Two figures traversed the imaginary world one after the other, bursts of blazing sun erupted beside them, and black and red tides seemed to engulf everything... Rules and formulas were constantly created and negated, this was a peak duel between order and disorder.

However, at this moment, Han Meng and the others could no longer see the battlefield. Having lost all light sources, they could no longer observe anything in the imaginary world and could only pray for Chen Ling in their hearts...

"puff--"

Whether it was the embroidered nail, the radiation, or the knife wound and toxins, Lingxujun's body seemed to have reached its limit. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, his speed visibly slowed down considerably.

Chen Ling's figure seemed to transcend dimensions, darting through the shadows of the constantly erupting and vanishing fireballs. Holding the boning knife, he was like a ghostly red butterfly, and in an instant, he slashed at Lingxu Jun's neck from behind!

Lingxu Jun's consciousness was already somewhat blurred, but his fighting instincts still made him immediately tamper with the speed formula, and at the same time twist his body to strike at Chen Ling's blade...

Only then did he realize that Chen Ling's blade was less than a millimeter away from touching his neck. In this ultimate duel, even the slightest moment of distraction could lead to extremely terrifying consequences. Lingxu Jun's margin for error had been reduced to the minimum!

Several fireballs burned in the void. In the flickering flames, Chen Ling and Ling Xujun drew closer than ever before. Through the nearby firelight, Chen Ling vaguely saw what appeared to be a sesame seed-sized dot on the tip of Ling Xujun's nose...

White lime?

Upon seeing this patch of white ash, Chen Ling was slightly taken aback.

At that moment, the smooth, round pebble in his arms trembled slightly, as if reminding Chen Ling of something.

Om-! !

Lingxu Jun struck out with his palm, and various formulas appeared and disappeared in his hand. Chen Ling denied them one after another, but due to distraction and excessive consumption, one electromagnetic formula still leaked out of Chen Ling's denial.

A ball of deep blue lightning exploded in the imaginary world, enveloping Chen Ling's figure in a huge ball of lightning, sending her flying backward at high speed into the distance!

The red paper that made up Chen Ling's body was now charred black, and his whole body emitted an indescribable burnt smell. If it were Chen Ling in his normal state, he would probably be dead by now... But the huge amount of extra red paper that the power of the Crimson Star brought him had shared a lot of the damage, so his main body was only seriously injured.

Countless red papers began to climb up his body, replacing the flesh and blood destroyed by the ball lightning. But before he could be fully repaired, a figure wearing a blood-stained monk's robe appeared above him.

At this moment, Lingxu Jun was also extremely weak. He looked down at Chen Ling and slowly spoke:

Even if you know my past weaknesses, so what?

"I am not the same person I used to be... Do you think you can defeat me with darkness alone? Do you think I will beg for mercy in fear when it gets dark?"

"Stop dreaming……"

"If you want to kill me, you'll have to show some real skill."

Lingxu Jun raised his hand and pointed at the void above, his voice ringing out once more:

“Before that, I can show you… my ‘real skills’.”

Next second,

A towering structure, entirely white and sculpted from countless perfect linear formulas, appeared out of thin air from the world of imaginary numbers!
