Chapter 1687 - 1687. Plan

The battle halted for a few seconds. Both sides were reviewing the previous exchanges to find a flaw in their opponents, but the situation appeared quite annoying.

Noah had just found a way to kill his opponents, but the latter wouldn't show openings in their defenses anymore now. Their cultivation level gave them the upper hand in the fight, and their battle experience allowed them to exploit that feature.

On the other hand, the four leaders found it hard to evaluate Noah's power. He continued to show new abilities, and his energy reserves didn't seem to have limits.

Ordinary liquid stage cultivators would deplete their "Breath" quickly to keep up with multiple solid stage experts. The four leaders knew that part of those limits didn't apply to Noah due to his hybrid status, but his power still failed to make sense.

Noah didn't appear tired in the slightest. He could fix injuries inflicted by solid stage cultivators with his flames, and his attacks could put the leaders in danger.

Yet, both sides had found a path toward victory. Robert and the others had learnt to counter some of Noah's abilities, and the latter had discovered that his law could hurt his opponents.

Plans formed in the experts' minds. Both Noah and the leaders developed tactics during those silent moments.

'The drawbacks of the cursed sword are tough to handle at this level,' Noah considered in his mind, 'But the dark world can force my body to stay in one piece.'

The leaders had similar thoughts. Heaven and Earth's light could heal and resurrect them. That would give them enough time to counter Noah's abilities and corner him.

"Shall we resume?" Robert asked while revealing a cold smirk.

His companions inspected him with curious gazes, but they soon understood the reason behind his words. Noah was using that break to recover, so it was better to resume fighting immediately.

Noah understood something different from that question. Robert and the others didn't need to be so polite during the battle. They could directly attack him instead of wasting time with useless conversations.

'They are also waiting for something,' Noah concluded in his mind.

Even King Elbas and the rest of Noah's team were unclear about Heaven and Earth's trump card. They didn't know what the world had planned to vanquish the Devils. Still, Noah couldn't hesitate in that situation. He had to take risks to obtain benefits.

"I think you are aware of my next target," Noah announced while giving voice to a laugh and pointing the Demonic Sword toward Rebecca.

The leaders snorted before shooting toward Noah. Their laws expanded to create domains that transformed large areas of the sky and empower their abilities.

A toxic cloud expanded from Robert's figure, and raging winds followed Melissa's movements. Rebecca and Castor entered in Noah's range before stopping and deploying ranged abilities.

Rebecca had to pay attention to her life, and Castor remained with her to ensure that Noah failed to sever her connection with Heaven and Earth. Both experts could deploy ranged abilities anyway, so they didn't need to approach their opponent.

The situation worked in Noah's favor. He had succeeded in alarming his opponents. He only had to find a way to exploit that advantage now.

'They expect me to aim for Rebecca,' Noah thought as his swords landed on his forehead.

His consciousness expanded and spread his deadly sharpness through the battlefield. Images of the previous exchanges ran through his vision as he tried to find a different target.

Robert seemed the strongest among the
