Chapter 836

Seeing Yan Lingji release flames to attack her master while her body retreated,

Wushuang Gui, Qu Shi Mo, and Bai Du Wang, who were staying behind Tian Ze, could no longer stand still and simultaneously attacked Yan Lingji.

The Yin-Yang School disciples who had come here with Yan Lingji were about to make a move.

Yan Lingji noticed their movements, and her soft voice rang out: "You need not intervene!"

As she spoke, Wushuang Gui arrived beside Yan Lingji, and his massive fist swung out immediately.

For Wushuang Gui, there was no concept of cherishing the fair sex. Even though the object of his attack was Yan Lingji, the person he had helped rescue back then, he had only helped rescue her because they were colleagues, both serving Master Tian Ze.

When Yan Lingji betrayed their master Tian Ze, and when Master Tian Ze attacked Yan Lingji this time, she was already an enemy.

The huge fist swung past, bringing a sharp, wild wind.

However, Wushuang Gui's fist missed.

Yan Lingji's status was extremely profound; not only did she avoid the chains manipulated by Tian Ze, but she also dodged Wushuang Gui's fist in an instant.

Seeing this, Qu Shi Mo immediately waved the staff in his hand.

Brilliant light flickered, turning into a stream of light like a rope, tracking Yan Lingji.

He unleashed his spirit-controlling technique, using it to restrict Yan Lingji's form and movements.

Bai Du Wang also took a handful of something unknown from his sleeve and suddenly scattered it in the direction of Yan Lingji.

Black mist emerged; they were dense swarms of gu insects, flying toward Yan Lingji simultaneously.

Yan Lingji was calm and unhurried. After dodging Wushuang Gui's fist, she gently waved her arm again, and vast flames emerged from thin air. Wherever the flames passed, everything was burned. Whether it was the stream of light evolved from Qu Shi Mo's spirit-controlling technique or Bai Du Wang's gu insects, under these flames, they all turned to ash and disappeared.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Qu Shi Mo and Bai Du Wang changed slightly.

They knew Yan Lingji's past strength very well. It could be said that although Yan Lingji was very strong back then, she was not as strong as one might imagine, because she was truly too young, and her fire-controlling technique was not without methods of restraint.

After many years, it would not be strange for Yan Lingji to have made progress.

But this progress was simply too great!

"So this is the source of your arrogance. I would like to see just what level your strength has reached!"

Tian Ze's voice rang out suddenly. It must be said that Tian Ze was worthy of being Tian Ze; even though Yan Lingji's flames had climbed along the flames he controlled to his body, he still found a way to extinguish them, then attacked Yan Lingji again.

Having been in Baiyue for many years, besides wanting to take back everything that was his, Tian Ze had also practiced diligently. His current strength was unknown how many times greater than when he was in Xinzheng.

More importantly, at this moment, there were no gu insects in his body restricting him, and he no longer had to worry about the pain of gu insects devouring his heart if he exerted his internal energy slightly.

Tian Ze's movement technique was also not to be underestimated; he arrived beside Yan Lingji in an instant.

His fist swung!

The terrifying fist even swept away the flames beside Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji's beautiful face, however, showed no change.

She let Tian Ze's fist land on her body.

A smug smile appeared at the corner of Tian Ze's mouth, but the next instant, the smile froze.

Yan Lingji's body suddenly dissipated, exploding with a bang, turning into countless flames.

This body was actually fake, an illusionary form condensed from flames?

When Tian Ze came to his senses, he discovered that the flames from Yan Lingji's exploded body were wrapping around him one after another. Because the distance was extremely close, he could not dodge in time.

Tian Ze could only do his best to drive the internal energy in his body, condensing it into a layer of energy shield to protect his body and avoid the flames burning his body as much as possible.

Yan Lingji's body appeared to the side.

She looked at Tian Ze, who was wrapped in flames, and gently exhaled.

After exhaling, raging flames immediately appeared in mid-air, then divided into countless short swords condensed from flames. The short swords broke through the air and fell toward Tian Ze with a hiss.

Tian Ze's energy shield, which was blocking the flames, was immediately pierced like a sieve.

The flames landed on him, making him feel a burst of pain.

Just as Tian Ze was about to be burned into a serious injury by the flames, the flames covering his body suddenly disappeared.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Seeing the flames on Tian Ze disappear, Qu Shi Mo, Bai Du Wang, Wushuang Gui, and others exclaimed in alarm, while simultaneously watching Yan Lingji with extreme vigilance.

Through the brief exchange, they had already understood that the strength of Yan Lingji, whom they had not looked upon with favor in the past, had reached the pinnacle.

There were many burn marks on Tian Ze's body, and these places felt a stinging pain.

He looked at Yan Lingji again, his eyes also filled with a bit of vigilance and a bit of solemnity.

Meeting again after many years, he had never expected that Yan Lingji's strength would reach such a level.

A level that made him feel horrified.

Yan Lingji at this moment had probably surpassed the Blood-Clad Hou Bai Yifei of the past.

Bai Yifei was the first person to make Tian Ze feel failure, so Tian Ze had an extremely deep memory of him.

"Now it seems that I am the stronger one!"

Yan Lingji felt Tian Ze's gaze and did not care. She was calm and smiled: "The weak attach themselves to the strong; likewise, the strong can wantonly control the fate of the weak."

"This is the principle you taught me back then."

"Since you know this principle, you should understand that the State of Qin is unknown how many times stronger than Baiyue."
