Chapter 309: Chapter 309: On a Hair Trigger

The Fallen Knight Jerman, upon seeing this, immediately drew a massive broadsword from his back and laughed heartily: "Leo, it’s about time! Since Mr. Yang seems tired of living, why not let us fulfill his wish and end him?"

Master Gandhi’s body trembled and distorted irregularly, then sneered coldly: "Mr. Yang, even if you are God-level, the five of us are only half a step away from God-level. Do you think you stand a chance?"

"Mr. Yang, don’t deceive yourself," the Ice Snow Empress Wendy remarked coldly, her entire body radiating an icy chill.

With the four of them expressing their attitudes.

Suddenly, except for the Evil God Kate, the aura of the other four soared instantly, forming a pincer stance against Yang Tian, their presences resonating in the cavern.

At other times, they might not have chosen to confront him so directly.

After all, with their strength, they were already considered at the pinnacle of the world.

But ever since Yang Tian achieved the rank of God-level, it proved that becoming God-level was neither a myth nor out of reach!

This led them to believe that the Divine-level Treasure rumored to bring Yang Tian here must indeed exist!

Faced with such a secret to achieving God-level, who among them could remain indifferent?

Thus, even if Yang Tian was God-level, today they would slay this "God" and claim the treasure to ascend themselves!

"This... this is the ultimate battle!"

Seeing the two contrasting forces resonating with each other, the onlookers gasped in astonishment.

Yang Tian, as a Divine-level Expert, had firmly established himself as the world’s undisputed number one, while Leo and the others were formidable combatants only slightly below him.

Such a clash between these two sides was undoubtedly worthy of being called the ultimate battle!

Moreover, judging by their aura and posture, it was clear that both sides had adopted an attitude of fighting until the death!

Thus, this battle could only yield two results: Firstly, Yang Tian defies fate in one fight, leaving no one in the future to dare challenge his might. Secondly, Leo and the others succeed in slaying the God, removing Yang Tian—Dante’s Bounty List’s new number one—from existence entirely.

But compared to the first possibility, most people were inclined towards the second outcome.

On one hand, most of the cultivators present were from the Western Underground World, so it was natural for them to favor Leo’s victory.

More importantly, solely from an aura perspective, Leo, Wendy, Gandhi, and Jerman combined could already stand toe-to-toe with Yang Tian, proving their collective power could rival his.

Moreover, above them loomed the unengaged Evil God Kate, whose involvement would undoubtedly seal Yang Tian’s defeat!

The Tyrant Mickey, witnessing this scene, coldly sneered to himself: "Ultimate battle? Heh, this is the God-slaying battle! Yang Tian, though you’re God-level, you should never have made me kneel before you. Your death today shall pay for my humiliation!"

While Mickey harbored such venomous thoughts, the oppressive aura within the cavern abruptly dissipated, returning to silence.

Seeing this, everyone held their breath, knowing the clash of the ultimate battle was imminent!

The cavern was silent as a grave.

Yang Tian remained seated calmly at the center of the Magma Fire Pool, while Leo, Wendy, Gandhi, and Jerman radiated their distinct energies.

For a moment, aside from the radiant glows, the atmosphere seemed unnervingly tranquil.

But the crowd knew that this calm would sooner or later be shattered.

The Silver Wolf, seated nearby, felt his heart racing wildly, uncertain how Yang Tian would face this battle.

After all, standing against Yang Tian now were the third to sixth-ranked formidable experts on Dante’s Bounty List.

And factoring in the yet-to-act Evil God Kate, Yang Tian was essentially challenging the entirety of the Western Underground World’s elite combatants!

Just as the Silver Wolf pondered this, the calm was abruptly shattered. Jerman took the lead, wielding his broadsword high. A layer of radiant white energy flared from his body, spiraling around the blade!

This technique was none other than the Holy Light Slash, a skill exclusively mastered by the Great Knight Commanders of the Vatican. However, now used by the Vatican-defected Jerman, it lacked the sanctity of the institution and instead carried a sinister darkness.

"Hahaha! No one wants to strike first? Then let me, Jerman, break this stalemate!"

With that, Jerman tightened his legs and leapt into the air, landing above Yang Tian’s head. The radiant energy surrounding the broadsword surged three times larger, and he slashed toward Yang Tian.

"Heh, since Jerman’s made his move, I’ll join the fray too!"

Seeing Jerman attack, Master Gandhi stepped forward. The copper rings on his limbs jingled sharply, as his body unnaturally twisted into an inhuman form. His arm then extended grotesquely, resembling a snake as it darted forward.

From Gandhi’s hand emanated one ominous black skull after another, cackling madly as they opened their jaws to bite at Yang Tian.

"Such... such powerful force and pressure! Is this the strength of the original Dante’s top five?"

The crowd gasped in shock.

Although Yang Tian’s ascension to number one had pushed Gandhi to sixth place, many still referred to Kate, Leo, Wendy, Gandhi, and Jerman as Dante’s Five Titans.

Such was the overwhelming strength of these five—they seemed to operate in a different dimension altogether!

Faced with the dual assault, Yang Tian’s expression remained indifferent. He raised a single fist forward and uttered calmly, "Slaughter Demon First Style, Heart Punishment."

Swish, swish, swish!

Dozens of black Sword Qi streaked forth along with Yang Tian’s fist aura, directly countering Jerman’s and Gandhi’s attacks.

In an instant, two massive energy storms erupted in mid-air, unleashing turbulent shockwaves that forced weaker combatants to activate their energy shields in defense.

Even more seasoned fighters felt a chill run up their spines, their faces pale with terror!

"Ha ha ha! Thrilling! Ever since leaving the Vatican, I haven’t experienced such exhilarating combat. Come again!"

Jerman, seeing his Holy Light Slash neutralized in one blow by Yang Tian, laughed wildly as he tossed aside his broadsword. Chanting a spell, a blood-red cross manifested above Yang Tian’s head, hurtling down at him.

Likewise, Master Gandhi retracted his arm, his abdomen swelling grotesquely before expelling a massive fireball. The flame transformed into a giant flaming skull, hurtling mercilessly toward Yang Tian.

"Magic is it?"

Yang Tian maintained his calm demeanor, his eyes closed as his lips curled slightly upward. With a simple gesture of both hands, two Demon Flame Lotuses materialized in his palms, which he gently released forward.

The seemingly minuscule Demon Flame Lotuses drew sneers from Jerman and Gandhi.

Compared to their grandiose offensive displays, Yang Tian’s unassuming lotuses seemed as futile as an ant shaking a tree.

But in the next moment, their expressions shifted drastically!

The moment the blood-red cross and flaming skull collided with the Demon Flame Lotuses, there was no violent explosion as they had anticipated.

Instead, the lotuses quietly bloomed, releasing boundless black Demon Flames that instantly consumed the cross and skull entirely, spreading rapidly toward Jerman and Gandhi!
