Two palm prints overlapped, locked in a brief standoff, when suddenly everyone was amazed to see waves of spiritual power bursting forth from the jade-green palm print. Zhao Qinghai's palm print was instantly crushed and dispersed by the jade-green palm print in Cuiyu's hand.
"Whoosh!"
Zhao Qinghai's Splitting Spirit Palm burst apart in an instant, ultimately dissipating into nothingness.
"Thud, thud!" Zhao Qinghai's body staggered back a dozen steps.
"Pfft..."
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from Zhao Qinghai's mouth, his face suddenly turned pale. A sense of shock and disbelief surged in his heart as he stared at Cuiyu, knowing all too well the power of the Splitting Spirit Palm. It was a primary level Xuan-grade spiritual technique, which even a general four-layered Spirit General could hardly withstand directly.
Yet now, his Splitting Spirit Palm was directly broken by the maid Cuiyu, seemingly without effort, which he found hard to believe.
"How could you possibly break my Splitting Spirit Palm?" Staring at Cuiyu, Zhao Qinghai couldn't believe what had happened. He was the top of the Dragon List, how could he be defeated by a maid?
"Splitting Spirit Palm, just a primary level Xuan-grade spiritual technique, and you thought it was impressive? What I just used, however, was a mid-grade Xuan-level spiritual technique." Cuiyu's expression darkened as she said, "If it weren't for not wanting to make things difficult for the Sect Master, I could kill you right now. But your life, next time, I will not be polite in taking it away."
"Mid-grade Xuan-level spiritual technique." Hearing Cuiyu's words, the people in the distance exclaimed in admiration. Even among them, the young elites of the Yunyang Sect, not everyone could cultivate mid-grade Xuan-level martial or spiritual techniques, the highest being only primary level Xuan-grade. Unexpectedly, Cuiyu had used a mid-grade Xuan-level spiritual technique.
"Hiss hiss!"
The little dragon roared with indignation, its breaths swirling, and its massive body coiled up like a small mountain. Initially, the little dragon's body was less than three hundred meters long, but at this moment, it had grown to over four hundred meters, with a diameter of seven or eight meters. Its scales slightly expanded, emanating faint golden flames, and its mere presence was enough to astonish Zeng Chuxiong.
Staring at the massive body of the little dragon, Zeng Chuxiong was already in a sorry state. Last time, he was able to contend with this beast, but now, he felt utterly incapable of standing against it.
"Ssst..." Gritting his teeth, Zeng Chuxiong charged towards the little dragon again, a blue greatsword in his hand stirring up mist-like trails. A slash of the sword cleaved through space, heading straight for the little dragon.
The sword light plunged down, reaching the little dragon in an instant. With the strength of a first-tier Martial General, Zeng Chuxiong's strike was indeed formidable.
However, the little dragon remained motionless. As Zeng Chuxiong's sword came slashing down, the dragon suddenly burst into action. Its massive body leaped up agilely, and with a massive open mouth, a burst of violent golden flames was spewed out.
These golden flames soared into the sky, burning the space along their path into smoke, which was then evaporated by the terrifying heat.
"Sssss!"
Almost simultaneously, Zeng Chuxiong's sword light also fell under the little dragon's golden flames, burning up like the space ripples into smoke, also evaporated by the terrifying heat.
Faced with such terrifying flames, Zeng Chuxiong's first thought was to flee. However, how could his speed compare to that of the little dragon? As he was about to retreat, a terrifying golden flame had already reached above his head.
"Whoosh!" In the midst of immense fear, a palpitation arose from the depths of Zeng Chuxiong's heart. His long sword, once again, slashed towards the little dragon.
"Hiss hiss!"
The little dragon's massive body pressed down, its mouth spewing terrifying golden flames. Zeng Chuxiong's sword turned red first, then was burned to a reddish color, and in an instant, under the cover of those terrifying golden flames, with a hot and powerful gust, it pervaded every part of his body.
Stolen story; please report.
"Ah..." Facing such extremely terrifying golden flames, Zeng Chuxiong's inner qi burst forth, forming a protective circle in front of him, which was instantly enveloped by the little dragon's flames. The flames, penetrating as if through holes, instantly destroyed Zeng Chuxiong's protective circle, entering his body, causing a burning pain that made Zeng Chuxiong scream in agony.
"Pfft!"
Zeng Chuxiong spewed out a mouthful of crimson blood, his body shot backward, eventually tumbling down the mountainside.
"What a terrifying beast." Qu Daojue, Han Feng, and others exclaimed. Zeng Chuxiong was certainly not weak, a first-tier Martial General, now severely injured under this strange beast's attack. The terrifying flames made them feel scared even from a distance.
"Little dragon, spare his life." Just as the little dragon was about to attack again, Li Lin's voice came.
"Whoosh!"
The little dragon's massive body immediately shrank, and in an instant, it landed on Li Lin's shoulder, saying, "Boss, why didn't you let me kill him?"
"Killing him would be too easy, anytime. But this is inside the secret ground, killing him would bring big trouble." Li Lin said.
In Li Lin's heart, he indeed wished to kill these people, but killing them under the watchful eyes of everyone inside the secret ground was not advisable. Yun Xiao Tian had already declared that anyone who kills a fellow sect member, no matter who, would be executed, and even their families would suffer.
And since the Ten Thousand Year Red Copper had not yet been obtained, and he still needed to stay within the Yunyang Sect, even if he wanted to kill these three, it had to be done secretly. Now was not the time.
"Cuiyu, let's go." Li Lin said to Cuiyu, as the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit must be quickly consumed and refined, or else its effects would greatly diminish.
"Okay." Cuiyu slightly retracted her aura and moved to Li Lin's side.
Zhao Qingtian and Zhao Qinghai, the two brothers, twitched as they watched Li Lin and Cuiyu, not daring to make another move.
"Zhao Qingtian, Zhao Qinghai, you don't have the ability to obtain the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit. We'll take our leave first. This time we let you off, next time, you won't be so lucky." Li Lin said coldly, glancing at Zhao Qingtian and Zhao Qinghai. With a flap of his qi wings, he took Cuiyu into the air and left.
"You thief, you bastard, you didn't even say a word to me." Seeing Li Lin leaving with Cuiyu, Yun Hongling was so angry that she stamped her feet and shouted loudly at Li Lin.
"Junior sister, you should quickly consume the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit. The sooner you take it, the more effective it will be. I'll protect you while you do." Han Feng came to Yun Hongling's side and said.
"Hmph!" Yun Hongling glared at the disappearing figure of Li Lin in the distance, snorted indignantly, and then suddenly felt aggrieved, her eyes becoming somewhat moist.
At this moment, everyone was still in shock. The strength of Li Lin, Cuiyu, and that beast was terrifying. Zhao Qinghai, once the top of the Dragon List, was now only so in name. The real top of the Dragon List should be Cuiyu, not Zhao Qinghai anymore.
And Li Lin, who directly contended against Zhao Qingtian, must have reached the top five of the Dragon List. Now that he has obtained another Martial Spirit Holy Fruit, another breakthrough is just a matter of time. His strength will become even more terrifying.
Zhao Qinghai and Zhao Qingtian, the two brothers, looked resentful but also helpless. The tide had turned; Li Lin had already established a foundation, and with Cuiyu and that beast, they were utterly incapable of dealing with them. They could only think of a way after leaving the secret ground.
The two of them exchanged glances, ultimately swallowing their anger and coldness. Li Lin had obtained a Martial Spirit Holy Fruit, and after consuming it, he would surely break through again, possibly even advancing directly to a Martial General. They estimated that within the next three months inside this secret ground, it would be their turn to hide.
"Greetings to the Demon King." Within the underground cavern, the Niscale Demon Peng saluted the little dragon.
"How truly miraculous." Li Lin observed the cavern at this moment, the continuous flow of energy that had vanished. The cavern, once shrouded in mist, had now cleared up, with the dark, smooth ceiling of the cave hanging with many stalactites, drop by drop of milky white water slowly dripping into the pool. The water in the pool had also become clearer.
At this moment, the huge vine in the center of the pool, no longer glowing, seemed to have turned a bit yellowish, the majestic energy feeling it initially gave off had already returned to calm.
"The energy has disappeared." Cuiyu softly said.
"The energy in here lasts only for a month and will reappear three years later," the Blood Jade Demon Tiger said.
"Master, these are the Holy Fruits." The Niscale Demon Peng spread its wings, and on its wing scales, there were six fruits the size of a baby. As these six Martial Spirit Holy Fruits appeared, the cavern was once again filled with a rich energy aura.
"Hehe." Li Lin chuckled mischievously, already taking out five jade boxes, placing five of the Martial Spirit Holy Fruits in them, and the last one was given to the little dragon: "Little dragon, this one is for you to consume."
Watching Li Lin, Cuiyu also gave a wry smile. Perhaps she was the only one who knew all this. The rest of the Yunyang Sect thought the remaining six Martial Spirit Holy Fruits were taken by beasts. Who would have thought that all this was arranged by Li Lin in secret, with seven Martial Spirit Holy Fruits now in his possession.
"Whoosh!" Just at this moment, a wave rippled in the pool, and then a white figure burst out of the water, it was the Nine-tailed Demon Fox.
"Miss Bai Ling, how has your cultivation been?" Watching the aura of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, Li Lin sensed that within this month, it had definitely become much stronger.
