Lin Qingyu sensed the sudden surge of imnse Ice Power, and her hair stood on end. A bone-chilling cold filled her heart with extre dread.
At this mont, she seed unable to bear it any longer.
"Dugu Tian, stop!"
Lin Qingyu struggled, her voice laced with fury.
"Stop? Now you’re telling to stop? I was just passing by and happened upon you. You can only bla your own carelessness. You’re the one who tried to kill , and now that you’re losing, you want to stop?!"
Ye Tianling sneered, his grip becoming even more brazen.
His strength was imnse. It felt as if he could shatter Lin Qingyu’s pride with his grip!
The power contained within his formidable physique made Lin Qingyu scream involuntarily from the pain.
"You deserve to die!"
Enraged, Lin Qingyu burned a mouthful of her Essence Blood, and her innate Bright Moon Sword Soul suddenly manifested once more.
This ti, however, it was not the Bright Moon, but a Blood-Colored Crescent Moon.
The mont the Blood-Colored Crescent Moon appeared, it emanated a terrifying restraining force, one that felt like both the power of the wind and the crushing weight of the earth.
The instant this power appeared, Ye Tianling’s sense of crisis flared to its peak. He almost instinctively let go, his figure flashing like lightning, turning into an afterimage as he retreated using the Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique.
But it was too late. He had been in the middle of his brazen assault, and the sudden retraction cost him a crucial mont.
VMMM—
A paralyzing power with terrifying piercing strength penetrated straight through his Battle Armor’s defenses, spreading toward Ye Tianling’s ridians and Sword Soul.
A heavy power settled over him. Combined with the terrifying restraining force, Ye Tianling shuddered as his speed instantly plumted by a factor of more than ten.
And at this very mont, Ye Tianling was t with a vicious, murderous sword strike.
CLANG—
A flash of light, and sparks flew.
Ye Tianling took the full force of the ferocious killing blow, but he managed to block it.
The strike had pierced his Battle Armor’s defenses, but it failed to break through the formidable defense of his physical body.
Even so, Ye Tianling still felt a burning, stinging pain in his chest.
CRACKLE—
Just then, at the very instant he was struck, several Blood-Colored Prohibition Talismans activated, unleashing vicious arcs of electricity.
The powerful current enveloped Ye Tianling. Feeling as if he’d been struck by lightning, he shuddered violently. The Sword Essence in his Dantian and the Innate True Qi in his ridians ground to a halt, unable to circulate.
’Thunderstorm Prohibition Talisman: Earth Tier, Upper Grade. Contains Thunder Power harvested from Sword Tribulation Thunder Power. It has the Thunder Tribulation’s effect of piercing defenses and paralyzing Sword Spirits and Sword Souls. Duration depends on the target’s resistance to lightning.’
Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent had instantly identified the Prohibition Talisman.
His heart went cold. ’This is not good.’
"You dared to assault ," Lin Qingyu said. "Now, dying will be a luxury you can’t afford!"
As she spoke, she activated a Great Prohibition Talisman and slapped it viciously onto Ye Tianling.
At the sa ti, she struck him with another Thunderstorm Prohibition Talisman.
Then, she produced a Celestial Net Talisman, which shackled Ye Tianling’s hands and feet.
Ye Tianling felt as though he’d been clamped in irons. Having fought him, Lin Qingyu now had a profound understanding of his Battle Power and was extrely wary. Her precautions were, therefore, incredibly thorough.
However, this setback was a learning experience for Ye Tianling. It taught him a valuable lesson about the true limits of his current strength.
Ye Tianling wasn’t overly concerned for his safety. When Lin Qingyu had captured him, the power of his Life and Death Talisman had already completely infiltrated her Dantian. Not enough ti had passed for him to activate it, but it was there.
"Go on and act arrogant now, you little whelp!"
Having completely shackled Ye Tianling, Lin Qingyu finally let out a breath of relief. She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face pale with exhaustion.
Even so, her eyes were filled with venom.
"You’re already poisoned, and it’ll take effect soon. When it does, I’ll be the one to show you what true arrogance is."
"Poisoned? How absurd. With my constitution, no poison can possibly affect ! You’re just an ignorant little whelp!"
"Ignorant. You’re like a frog in a well—utterly short-sighted."
The look of utter contempt on his face infuriated her more than anything.
Lin Qingyu took a deep breath, and the simple act sent a wave of unbearable pain through her.
Lin Qingyu silently took out two Elixirs and swallowed them. She then circulated her Sword Soul Power throughout her body and focused her energy into her hands to heal herself for a few monts.
So color returned to her beautiful face, but the look of pain remained.
After a long mont, the part of her that Ye Tianling had nearly crushed finally finished healing, and she let out a sigh of relief.
Lin Qingyu withdrew her hand, her gaze cold and severe as she stared at Ye Tianling. "Are you a Loose Cultivator?" she asked.
Ye Tianling didn’t answer.
Lin Qingyu sneered. "A re First Heaven of Sword Spirit, yet you can fight at the Peak of the Sword Soul First Heaven Realm. My own Battle Power is enough to contend with geniuses at the Sword Soul Second Heaven. Excellent. A specin like you is worth studying!"
Ye Tianling replied, "You should worry about curing your poison first. It will take effect in half an hour at most. Then you’ll find out who’s going to be wishing for death, and who’s the one really worth studying!"
A mocking, scornful smile spread across Lin Qingyu’s face. "I think I’d know if I was poisoned! You’re far too confident in your little tricks. Are you talking about that Ice Power? My Bright Moon Sword Soul obliterated it the mont it tried to infiltrate my bloodline and Dantian!"
A similar look of contempt appeared on Ye Tianling’s face, but he said nothing more.
Lin Qingyu enveloped him with her Sword Soul, activating the Celestial Net Talisman. She then pulled him into the air with her, using Sword Flight to pass through a waterfall before landing in a small, distant valley.
In the valley, a clear stream gurgled, its banks shaded by lush green trees.
A massive Fiery Fla Lion Beast, seven or eight ters long, was lying by the stream. It was using the whiskers at the corners of its mouth to emit waves of Sword Soul Power, drawing water from the stream into its mouth to drink slowly.
Beside the Fiery Fla Lion Beast, three young n, two beautiful young won, and an old man sat quietly. In their hands, they held golden-brown roasted Fierce Beast at, taking a bite or two from ti to ti.
The old man wore a gray-black robe. Embroidered on the upper left of the robe was a light-gold runic pattern. It was a dynamic, flowing image of a flaming sword lunging toward a powerful phoenix wreathed in fire.
The animated image seed simultaneously static and in motion, presenting the scene as if it were happening in that very mont. It was an exceptionally bizarre effect.
This old man’s eyes were sinister, his gaze chillingly cold.
When Lin Qingyu approached, the old man’s gaze softened for a mont before shifting to Ye Tianling, becoming even more frigid and bone-chilling.
