Now that Liu Ziyu was holding him back, Lin Yi's move could be put to great use. Judging from how it had been able to strike Zang Zili half to death, he believed that even if it was Chang Minggui, a late stage Mountain Opening expert, he would be able to give him a good beating.
The wild sand tornado whistled continuously, and it was impossible for those outside to know what was going on inside. Putting aside the fact that they could not see clearly with their naked eyes, even divine senses could not enter. In reality, even if they did, it would not be a good thing. They might even suffer a backlash.
After a long while, a soaring Sword Qi suddenly slashed the wild sand tornado into two. Then, Liu Ziyu, who was dressed in white, was sent flying while coughing up a mouthful of blood. A silver flexible sword had appeared in her hands at some point in time.
Seeing this, Lin Yi panicked. However, he then saw that Chang Minggui had also been injured in the distance. There was a huge wound on his chest that was so deep that his bones could be seen. Blood flowed incessantly, and it was a shocking sight. It seemed that he had been injured by the soaring Sword Qi just now!
"Hmph, looks like I've really underestimated you. I've never seen a woman be able to do this. You, Liu Ziyu, are the first," Chang Minggui said coldly. Liu Ziyu was not only powerful to the point that he had a whole new level of respect for her. What made him even more speechless was that this woman was even more domineering and unyielding than him when she attacked. Was she really a woman?!
"That's just because you're inexperienced." Liu Ziyu let out a cold laugh in disapproval. Although she was already very strong, and there were very few other female cultivators who could be a match for her, it did not mean that there were none. For example, West Island's Island Lord Ning Shangling, whose true strength far surpassed hers.
"Is that so?" Chang Minggui clenched his fist noncommittally, pursing his lips and saying, "You can only be stubborn for a while. I've already broken the Nine Palaces Sand Formation, so it's time for you to die. Go in peace."
As his words landed, a crescent-shaped wind blade suddenly appeared in Chang Minggui's hand. At first glance, it seemed no different from the move he had used earlier. However, when this wind blade appeared, Liu Ziyu and Lin Yi, who had stayed in the distance, instantly widened their eyes.
Peng! A deep wound suddenly appeared on Liu Ziyu's body, and he was sent flying several hundred feet away. His face was filled with disbelief. His opponent's Wind Blade had actually reached him in an instant!
By the side, Lin Yi felt his scalp go numb. Although the speed of the wind blades was indeed extremely fast, and with his strength, even with the jade pendant as a warning, it would be very difficult for him to completely avoid them, with Liu Ziyu's strength, she should not have ended up in such a sorry state. No matter what, she was still a mid-stage Mountain Opening expert, and according to Lin Yi's judgement, she should be a top-notch existence amongst those of the same level. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to contend with Chang Minggui for so long with just a Nine Palace Sand Formation.
But the problem was that this wind blade did not have any flight trajectory at all. It had just been flung out from Chang Minggui's hand, and in the next instant, it had already appeared on Liu Ziyu's body. How was he supposed to dodge it?
Such a technique seemed to have surpassed the speed of space. The last time Lin Yi had seen such a divine technique was when he had received the inheritance from the giant electric eel. He had seen a human swordsman's Sword Qi arrive in such an instant.
Although judging from the aura alone, the late-stage Mountain Opening Chang Minggui was far inferior to that human swordsman — after all, that was an existence who could exchange blows with the giant electric eel — the profoundness of their techniques were exactly the same. It could be seen that Chang Minggui definitely did not have an undeserved reputation, and was indeed not to be underestimated!
"How is it? The feeling of being scratched by my Wind Blade doesn't feel good, right? " Chang Minggui grinned complacently, using this to distract his opponent. At the same time, his other hand was hidden in his sleeve, secretly accumulating power. Noiselessly, another Wind Blade shot out in an instant.
Peng! This Wind Blade directly slashed across Liu Ziyu's throat, and her head fell to the ground.
In an instant, everything in the world suddenly came to a standstill. Lin Yi's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and he bellowed in grief and indignation, "Aunt Liu!"
"Hmph, no matter how strong she is, she's still just a woman. She's nothing much." Chang Minggui laughed complacently. However, before he could laugh out loud, Liu Ziyu's corpse suddenly turned into a pile of yellow sand after falling to the ground. It was a yellow sand clone!
Not only did this turn of events stun Chang Minggui, even Lin Yi could not react for a moment. He was not far from Liu Ziyu's position, but even he had not sensed when Liu Ziyu had changed into a yellow sand clone. The technique itself was not very shocking, but to be able to use it to such a flawless degree, Liu Ziyu could be said to be the first person Lin Yi had ever seen!
Pu! Liu Ziyu suddenly appeared behind Chang Minggui, and at the same time, her sword pierced through his chest. Chang Minggui's expression immediately became more and more shocked. He stared blankly at the bloody blade that had pierced through his chest, his face filled with disbelief.
Lin Yi, too, felt that it was inconceivable. Liu Ziyu had given others the impression that she was very open and unrestrained before, but from the moment she silently created the yellow sand clones, to the moment she silently appeared behind Chang Minggui, her entire fighting style had completely changed. She was no longer as forceful and domineering as before, but more like an assassin who took an unconventional path.
"It's too early for you to say stupid words like that." Liu Ziyu's breathing was slightly heavy.
The previous set of movements could be said to be as smooth as flowing water. Although it was not as amazing as the opponent's instantaneous Wind Blades, to be able to do it so flawlessly, especially to deceive someone like Chang Minggui, the amount of physical strength exhausted was practically an astronomical figure. Moreover, the first Wind Blade had left behind a bone-deep wound.
To be able to pierce through Chang Minggui's chest with a single strike was already the result of Liu Ziyu giving it her all. Earlier, even with the help of the Nine Palaces Sand Formation, she had still been suppressed by her opponent. Now that she was fighting for her life, this was Liu Ziyu's true strength.
"Is that so?" Chang Minggui did not collapse after being struck by this sword. Instead, his aura instantly became even more explosive and powerful. Gusts of wind that could be seen by the naked eye were continuously emitted from his body, and then they quickly wrapped around Liu Ziyu who was behind him.
These gusts of wind were like invisible iron chains, tightly binding Liu Ziyu's entire body and suspending her in midair. Liu Ziyu's face immediately flushed red. Right now, not only was she unable to move, the key point was that one of the gusts of wind had strangled her throat, and she was completely suffocated.
The situation had reversed in the blink of an eye. Although Liu Ziyu's flexible sword was still stuck in Chang Minggui's body, with the heaven-defying vitality of a late stage Mountain Splitting Giant, this sword would at most injure him, and it was impossible for it to kill him.
On the contrary, Liu Ziyu was currently in imminent danger. She was not only suffocating from being strangled, what was even more dangerous was that any random Wind Blade from Chang Minggui would be able to take her life. She no longer had any strength to resist.
