Chapter 665 A Divided Battlefield

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Fifteen meters!

Whether it was Adolf or Lin Xuanyuan, this was a distance that allowed them to erupt with all their might.

Therefore, in the eyes of most of the people present, Lin Xuanyuan had already appeared in front of Adolf the moment he moved.

Famous Sword Scourge.

Short Blade Poseidon.

Two Divine Weapons belonging to the Imperial Clan and Atlas slashed into each other with their raised arms.

The sound of the collision was deafening.

A large amount of sparks suddenly appeared where the short saber and the long sword collided.

A large number of cracks appeared on the floor beneath their feet.

There were no fancy moves. This was the purest exchange of power. It was open and upright, neither dodging nor dodging.

Both of their bodies trembled under the action of the tremendous force, and they took a few large steps back almost simultaneously.

Adolf was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.

Adolf couldn't even figure out who his opponent was, but no matter who it was, it didn't seem to be Lin Xuanyuan.

At the very least, it was definitely not the Lin Xuanyuan he remembered.

In the two battles against Lin Xuanyuan in the Nine Continents City of the Divine Continent Empire, Adolf had a clear understanding of Lin Xuanyuan's strength. He was indeed very strong and difficult to deal with, but Adolf was 100% confident that as long as he had enough patience to consume it, the worst outcome would be to kill Lin Xuanyuan at the cost of serious injuries.

However, the exchange of blows just now made him somewhat unbelievable.

How long has it been?

How could Lin Xuanyuan become so strong?

This was no longer an improvement that could be described as progress, it was a complete rebirth!

In just an instant's battle, Adolf was completely certain that the opponent's strength, explosive power, will, and speed had all surpassed the limits of the human body. This also meant that the opponent's body's endurance had surpassed the limits of the human body!

Perhaps there was still a gap between this progress and Adolf's, but in the battle of World-shaking Sovereigns, this gap was no longer enough to give Adolf the confidence to suppress Lin Xuanyuan. In other words, this gap was infinitely close to being negligible during the battle between the two of them.

Adolf's anger instantly calmed down, and his expression became extremely grave.

Such an opponent required him to go all out, and he couldn't afford to relax in the slightest.

Especially now that he was in a mess.

The situation on the battlefield was extremely complicated. In terms of X-class experts, Atlas was more powerful than the royal family, but in terms of high-end combat strength, Atlas was slightly inferior.

The four World-shaking experts from the royal family had surrounded Earlaen. He was here to deal with Lin Xuanyuan, and there was also a match that Xuanyuan Qinghuan did not have. Therefore, the two sides had gradually formed a balance.

Very fragile, very delicate balance.

In this balance, an X-class expert could do something in a fierce battle.

For example, during his battle with Lin Xuanyuan, he suddenly came over to give him a hand.

Of course, Lin Xuanyuan was also facing a situation where he could be ambushed by Atlas's X-class experts at any time.

In such a situation, both Lin Xuanyuan and Adolf had to be on full alert. Be more cautious, be more cautious.

There were two ways for Adolf to solve this dilemma. The first was to leave the battlefield, and the second was to stall for time.

The reason for that was because there was still a World-shaking Sovereign that hadn't appeared in Atlas under the current situation of gradual balance.

Cato Atlas!

In the battle more than ten days ago, Jia Tu and Lin Xuanyuan were evenly matched, but now Adolf was certain that Jia Tu was no longer Lin Xuanyuan's opponent, but his strength was even stronger than Xuanyuan Qinghuan's.

Right now, Xuanyuan Qinghuan was surrounded by four top X-class experts.

Once Cato joined the battlefield, Atlas would be equivalent to freeing four X-class masters.

Moreover, according to Adolf's knowledge, an extremely ancient martial arts clan from the Divine Continent Empire had also come to the United States under the secret intervention of the southwest faction. And, not only did they not come to help Lin Xuanyuan, they came to snipe Lin Xuanyuan instead.

The extremely ancient martial arts clan sent four people, and they had already contacted Gaztu. According to Gaztu's information, one of the four people was a true Quasi-World-shaking expert, and there was also a top-level X-level expert who was infinitely close to the Quasi-World-shaking expert.

The other two women were also top-grade X-class fighters.

They will act alongside Cato.

In other words, as long as Gaztu could reach the battlefield quickly, the entire battlefield would undergo a drastic change, and their side would immediately gain the combat strength of eight top-grade X-class experts.

In this way, the balance would be broken immediately. Whether Lin Xuanyuan and the others could escape or not would become a huge problem.

And at that time, Adolf no longer had to worry about the sudden sneak attack of the royal experts. When the time comes, everyone will be overwhelmed, And the pressure would be transferred to Lin Xuanyuan, The eight extra top-level X-class warriors would definitely become the biggest balance breaker and Adolf's weapon. When he and Lin Xuanyuan seemed to be evenly matched, and Lin Xuanyuan was actually weaker, not to mention the eight top-level X-class warriors, even if two of them interfered with Lin Xuanyuan, Adolf would become even more relaxed.

Now, it's just a matter of time.

So Adolf decided to delay, He didn't think his strategy was cowardly, In the dark world, defeat the enemy at the smallest cost, It was something everyone was willing to do. If he could kill or seriously injure Lin Xuanyuan at the cost of minor injuries, then Adolf really couldn't think of the meaning of continuing to fight him one on one. Most importantly, he was the only one left in Atlas's Paladin bloodline.

Therefore, Adolf's current situation was somewhat subtle. Under normal circumstances, as a World-shaking Sovereign, Adolf was definitely the strongest fighting strength of the Atlas Clan. No matter how intense the internal conflict between him and Earlaen was, he was still an indispensable and important fighting strength for Atlas.

But today was different.

Or perhaps everything could be different after today.

If Lin Xuanyuan, Ye Liu-li, Wang Fu-yu, and many other experts of the royal family died here, the royal family that Atlas had always regarded as his greatest opponent in the future would suffer an unprecedented blow. At that time, the entire royal family would be left with only the Emperor.

In other words, if he really won this battle, Adolf might still be important, but he was no longer important.

And with the deaths of the black and red robes, The Paladin Elder's bloodline withered, Adolf and Earlaen , though they're still in sync, In private, however, the relationship between the two of them showed an icy opposing trend. Adolf's heart was complicated. He had lost his descendants and was almost in complete despair. There was too much uncertainty in his heart about the future, but it was this uncertainty that was most likely to cause Earlaen to feel uneasy.

If we win today's battle, Adolf had enough fighting power, As long as there is still combat strength, Earlaen wouldn't have done anything, When we get back to Atlas, He could also pull up his own men and continue to fight against Earlaen , And because he has no offspring, His value has skyrocketed, Even within the clan leader's faction, Earlaen won't really be a man of his word, The long-standing great clans had a deep foundation, but it also means complex internal relationships, As long as Adolf returned, there was a high chance that he would be recruited by some forces in the clan leader's faction that were dissatisfied with Earlaen . They would even consider joining the Paladin faction and righteously opposing Earlaen . In this way, Adolf would have a guarantee. As for what would happen in the future, he would still have time to continue to operate.

However, if he had won today's battle, and if he and Lin Xuanyuan had been defeated, the result would have been completely different.

He had severely injured the royal family and left the emperor alone, which meant that Adolf had no value.

Apart from the royal family, Atlas also had some opponents that they cared about. However, it was clear that these opponents could suppress the situation just by relying on the Earlaen father and son. In other words, Adolf would become dispensable.

If anything unexpected happened to him, Atlas would become highly centralized. The patriarch and the paladin would concentrate all their strength on the Earlaen father and son. In this way, Earlaen would have enough reason to get rid of Adolf and turn Atlas into an iron plate after the imperial family was not worried about him.

Therefore, Adolf had to leave behind enough combat strength to protect himself.

Fighting against Lin Xuanyuan was inevitable, but how to fight required careful consideration.

After a short exchange of blows, Adolf, who had fallen into a state of rage, had completely calmed down.

Stalling for time and waiting for Cato to enter the battlefield was the most correct thing to do in his opinion.

What Gaztu needed to deal with was only a few elite snipers. The opponent might have quite a few people, but it definitely wouldn't be difficult for Gaztu. With Gaztu's speed, he would be able to join the battlefield in two to three minutes at most.

Two or three minutes...

He only needed to drag it out for a while, and when Cato arrived, he would have more power to restrict Lin Xuanyuan, thus paying the smallest price to kill him.

With the help of two top X-class experts, he was very confident that he could accomplish his goal.

The most urgent matter was to stabilize Lin Xuanyuan.

Being able to drag it out for a second meant that he was less dangerous.

Although World-shaking Sovereigns were hard to determine in a few minutes, Lin Xuanyuan was different. Whether it was the current War God King or the former War God, Adolf had no doubt that the other party had the courage to fight him to the death.

This was a lunatic!

In a short moment of silence, Adolf gently shook the sea god in his hand. He took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. He stared at Lin Xuanyuan and said, "I have to admit that you are indeed much stronger than the last time we met. You are even so powerful that I have no choice but to go all out. It seems that Barker was not wronged to die at your hands."

In order to stall for time, he even took the initiative to mention the black-robed Barker. As he said this, Adolf's expression was slightly twisted, carrying undisguised hatred and killing intent.

However, Barker's topic obviously didn't move Lin Xuanyuan. He gently moved his numb arm, clenched the edge of his sword, and sneered, "What nonsense."

Adolf's pupils narrowed slightly.

The next second, Lin Xuanyuan's body appeared in front of him again.

His soaring body whistled towards him.

He held the sword in both hands.

Splitting Mount Hua with force!

The sword light shone, and the screams were like thunder!

An extremely simple but incomparably domineering sword strike.

Lin Xuanyuan's pupils shone brightly, becoming even hotter.

The violent power poured into the blade and smashed down madly.

Adolf subconsciously raised his sea godhead, but his expression couldn't help but change slightly.

He seemed to already know Lin Xuanyuan's plan.

Indeed.

The blade of the sword slashed fiercely against the sea god's blade. With a loud explosion, Lin Xuanyuan was once again bounced into the air by a huge force. Then, he raised his sword again and slashed down with another slash.

Dang!

The swords collided.

"Boom!"

Amidst the dull noise, Adolf's battle prowess trembled.

On the floor of the hall on the sixteenth floor, with Adolf as the core, a hole nearly three meters in diameter suddenly appeared.

The floor cracked and stones flew down.

Along with the stone was Adolf's figure.

Atlas' Paladin Captain involuntarily fell from the entrance of the cave amidst his furious roar.

Without hesitation, Lin Xuanyuan followed Adolf down.

In an instant, the battlefield was directly split apart!
