Ye Ling had chosen a good angle for this attack, but she had been too impatient and miscalculated the distance between An Lin's other palm. An Lin's footsteps faltered, and he advanced instead of retreating!
Ye Ling could see the smile on his face.
Only now did she detect that a palm enshrouded in golden light was hurtling toward her lower abdomen.
Bam!
Golden light surged, and the power of the earth surged forth.
Ye Ling's body was bent into the shape of a bow, and she threw up a mouthful of blood as her body flew back for several kilometers before crashing into the transparent barrier at the edge of the drill ground.
"Senior Disciple Sister!"
"Sister Ye Ling!"
All of the disciples present let loose cries of surprise upon seeing this.
Cheng Yingxiong drew a sharp intake of breath. "This is a sparring match, right?"
Dong Zhen nodded with a blank expression. "I think … so?"
Even though this was a sparring match, why did it feel so horrifying?
The older disciples were given a fright, and the newer core disciples were trembling uncontrollably.
They looked at their legendary sect leader with awe and veneration in their eyes. He looked so harmless, but why was he beating his disciple so viciously?
"It's a huge taboo to be distracted by your enemy's words during a battle! I'm so disappointed that you fell into a daze with just a few words, "An Lin spoke with a serious expression.
His voice had only just fallen when a massive dragon constructed from Great Holy Flames leaped out of his body before pouncing toward Ye Ling.
Blood trickled down the corners of Ye Ling's lips, and she stomped down onto the barrier before landing on the ground like a bolt of lightning. She then quickly shifted to evade the Divine Flame dragon.
However, another massive purple dragon constructed from the Demonic Star Flame suddenly pounced toward her.
Ye Ling didn't even have time to unleash her shadow manifestation technique, so she could only evade with her movement techniques.
"Everything can be used as a medium for your assassination, and you're the number one killer move. This is because you're able to combine shadow manifestation and spatial skipping perfectly … "An Lin spoke in an indifferent voice as a blue flaming dragon and a spatial twisting Heavenly Void Dragon appeared behind him.
"However, your spell techniques are still flawed."
The flaming dragons constructed from the Setting Moon Flame and Heavenly Void Flame roared as they pounced toward Ye Ling!
The four fire dragons pounced and bit continuously, tearing open horrifying fissures in the ground and burning out pitch-black trails.
Their combined attacks gradually forced Ye Ling into a corner again.
"See? You've used Shadow Transformation and Spatial Jump consecutively. You're running out of energy, aren't you?" An Lin chuckled. The Blood Phoenix Divine Fire Dragon and Golden Dragon Divine Flames appeared behind him.
"The power in your body can only support you for a short period of time. Also, every Spatial Leap and Shadow Transformation requires your consciousness to predict in advance."
"You'll have to spend all your attention just to dodge the continuous attacks of four fire dragons like me. How can you predict in advance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another two fire dragons roared and pounced toward Ye Ling!
Six flaming dragons roared as they closed in on Ye Ling, sealing off all of her escape routes.
Ye Ling let loose a clear cry, and a frosty killing intent instantly froze the area within a radius of over a hundred meters around her. All of the six fire dragons began to slow down and shrink as soon as they approached her.
An Lin's lips twitched upon seeing this. "What powerful killing intent! Are you trying to force your way through my fire dragons?"
Just what had this once adorable little girl gone through to cultivate such a crooked dao? She had embarked on a path of killing intent that was even more exaggerated than Su Qianyun's …
As her master, An Lin was suddenly struck by a sense of melancholy.
Right at this moment, Ye Ling made her final stand like a cornered beast, and she really did manage to slice through one of the fire dragons and successfully escape from the encirclement.
The power of a divine tool was nothing to scoff at. Even an assassin-type divine tool could tear apart a fire dragon over ten thousand feet in an extremely domineering manner.
Just as Ye Ling was about to unleash her Shadow Transformation and close in on An Lin, An Lin suddenly stomped a foot into the ground, and a black circle suddenly appeared beneath Ye Ling's feet, as if it were a gargantuan mouth that was going to devour everything.
Boom!
The terrifying gravitational force made Ye Ling's body falter.
This was the core spell technique of the Heaven Punishing War God, Abyssal Gravity!
The indescribable gravitational force threatened to crush her body into mincemeat, and even the indestructible earth began to cave in.
Ye Ling's body faltered slightly, and she was just about to unleash her spatial skipping technique to escape from the spell technique's area of effect.
However, sometimes, a split second of stagnation was enough to determine the outcome of a battle.
For example, the space around her had been instantly sealed, or An Lin had already used Kun Peng Travel to appear before her, or An Lin's little fists were hurtling toward her chest again before she even had a chance to do anything.
The golden light was as dazzling as the sun.
The space within a radius of over a kilometer was twisted and shattered by his fists.
Ye Ling felt as if her body were about to be torn apart, and she threw up another mouthful of blood, which landed directly on An Lin's face …
The woman was sent flying before crashing heavily into the transparent energy barrier.
Her whole body went limp, and her body slowly slid towards the protective wall. A trail of blood appeared along the trail.
Under the light of the setting sun, half of the woman's face was obscured by her long, disheveled hair, giving her an extremely tragic appearance.
An Lin wiped the blood from his face, but he showed no intention of stopping as he continued to make his way toward Ye Ling.
The spectating disciples couldn't bear to watch this any longer. This was simply too tragic, and some of them were even begging An Lin to let Ye Ling off the hook.
This wasn't a sparring match; he was beating her to death!
Ye Ling panted heavily as her chest rose and fell incessantly.
Hmm … Thank God she hadn't been struck on both sides …
She looked at the man who was enshrouded in Divine Flames as he made his way toward her, and she silently tightened her grip on the divine weapon that she had been holding this entire time.
"The Four Nine Sword Techniques are split up into eighteen stages, and progressing to the next stage is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. No one in the entire sect has been able to master the eighteenth stage. However, I know that there are only seventeen stages, and the mantras for the eighteenth stage are all nonsense … "
An Lin's footsteps faltered slightly as he looked at the woman in the distance with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Ye Ling raised her head, and there was no hint of dejection in her eyes.
"There's no such thing as the eighteenth stage. If there were, then the eighteenth stage would be a new sword technique that we've attained after we've reached the pinnacle of our swordsmanship. After all, only a sword technique that we've created is the most suitable for us, and it's the most powerful one! "
An Lin's heart jolted again upon hearing Ye Ling's words.
"Master, did you know that I cried like an idiot when I received your inheritance from Emperor Ziwei?" Tears welled up in Ye Ling's eyes as she gripped tightly onto her dagger. "The divine weapon doesn't belong to me, but I view it as a precious treasure. We're master and disciple, and we're somehow connected. I've always wanted to use my blood as a medium to find you … "
Ye Ling released the dagger in her hand, and blood flowed down the corners of her lips as a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"It's been a long time since I've experienced the happiness you've brought me … Master, this is the eighteenth stage of the Four Nine Sword Technique, Seeking Peace!"
