Chapter 195: Is She the Strongest?

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mu Lingxi nodded.

She walked from behind Wang Jianqiang to the edge of the Battle Stele and looked ahead indifferently.

At the same time.

Song Renshou flew over and appeared above the Square, his gaze fixed on Xing Li as he sneered, "Xing Li, as the third-ranked person on the Shenmu City Battle Stele, you are actually willing to submit to someone from an outer city; you truly bring shame upon our Shenmu City!"

Xing Li sneered, "I, on the other hand, think that submitting to a human-faced, beast-hearted piece of trash like Lin Yichen is what is truly shameful."

Song Renshou's expression faltered, "Sharp-tongued. I don't have time to engage in a war of words with you; I will teach you a lesson later."

Having said that, he looked coldly at Wang Jianqiang and said with chilling murderous intent, "Kid, you dare to step on our Shenmu City Battle Stele? Get over here. I am going to dismantle your limbs and hang you beneath the Battle Stele until your life force is exhausted!"

"Not a bad method."

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Lingxi, "Lingxi, did you hear that? Cut off his limbs and hang him beneath the Battle Stele."

"I heard it."

Mu Lingxi nodded, her figure flickering. She appeared in mid-air and pointed at Song Renshou.

A Flying Sword, as thin as a cicada's wing and seemingly cast from ice crystals, shot out.

The moment the Ice Crystal Flying Sword appeared, the temperature of the entire Square plummeted.

Song Renshou's expression was somewhat gloomy.

When he had just flown toward the Battle Stele Plaza, he had seen it very clearly.

This woman was massaging that man's shoulders; she was clearly his servant.

The man himself would not make a move, instead letting his servant deal with him—it was clear he was looking down on him!

"Get lost!"

Song Renshou shouted coldly and struck out with a palm.

A thick, powerful force, like mountains and rivers collapsing, slammed toward the Ice Crystal Flying Sword.

Yet the next moment, the Ice Crystal Flying Sword displayed astonishing sharpness.

It merely paused slightly before piercing through this thick force and continuing to stab toward Song Renshou.

The look of confidence on Song Renshou's face instantly froze.

His heart jolted, and he dodged in a sorry state.

Although he barely avoided the Flying Sword, because of his hurried evasion, he failed to dodge the Ice Intent carried by the sword.

As the Ice Intent entered his body, his blood flow instantly slowed, and his body stiffened.

A layer of frost covered the surface of his body.

Song Renshou's expression tightened, and he hurriedly mobilized the Spiritual Power within his body.

Only after circulating his Spiritual Power at full strength for several cycles did he barely manage to force out the cold energy that had invaded his body.

"Just a servant, how can she be this strong?"

At this moment, he no longer dared to underestimate Mu Lingxi, and a look of caution appeared on his face.

After the first sword strike missed, Mu Lingxi's expression remained unchanged.

She grabbed at the Ice Crystal Flying Sword with five fingers.

The Ice Crystal Flying Sword trembled, and two identical Ice Crystal Flying Swords manifested on either side.

The five Flying Swords circled and stabbed toward Song Renshou once again.

Song Renshou's expression was grave.

A light flashed on his body, and a suit of black light armor covered him entirely.

He roared.

The light armor on his body suddenly erupted with black light.

Ding, ding, ding~~

The five Flying Swords collided with the black light.

The black light shook violently, then shattered with a "Boom!"

Although the explosion barely repelled the five Flying Swords, it also affected Song Renshou himself.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward in a sorry state.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Square was dumbfounded.

Song Renshou, the second-ranked on the Battle Ranking and a supreme powerhouse in Shenmu City whose strength was second only to Lin Yichen, had actually been completely suppressed!

The strength of this woman, who had been massaging the man on the Battle Stele just moments ago, was actually this powerful!!!

"Your strength, it seems, is not as strong as your mouth."

Mu Lingxi hovered in mid-air, having not moved a single bit from start to finish.

She pointed her finger.

The five Ice Crystal Flying Swords stabbed toward Song Renshou again.

Hearing Mu Lingxi's highly mocking words, Song Renshou's eyes turned red.

He was the strongest in Shenmu City second only to Lin Yichen.

Below one person, above ten thousand.

Even those powerhouses who had come from outer cities before had never been able to shake his second-place position.

In fact, he had even killed one of them on behalf of Lin Yichen.

He had originally thought that this person, even if stronger than the previous outer-city Cultivators, would certainly have limited strength.

He never expected that the other party wouldn't even make a move, merely sending a "servant" to fight him, and yet he would be left in such a sorry state.

To summarize this scene simply...

He arrived aggressively, spouting harsh threats, yet the other party didn't even move, and a servant casually walked out and gave him two big slaps, beating him until he was dizzy and disoriented.

With so many people watching, how could he possibly accept this?

Song Renshou's face burned with heat.

"Go to hell!"

He roared madly, and a Golden Metal Staff appeared in the palm of his hand.

He swept the staff horizontally.

A massive staff shadow instantly condensed and, following the direction of the Golden Metal Staff in his hand, swept in a circle through the air.

A tyrannical force of energy spread out, knocking the five Ice Crystal Flying Swords away by sheer force.

Seeing Song Renshou go berserk, a sharp glint flashed in Mu Lingxi's beautiful eyes.

She directly gave up controlling the Flying Swords.

She pressed her palms together.

A terrifying aura of icy cold instantly spread out from her body.

Wherever the cold power passed, Cold Mist rose, the earth froze, and snowflakes drifted down from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding space had transformed into a vast, white, icy world.

"This is..."

"A Dao Domain!!!"

Seeing this scene, Song Renshou's expression turned to one of horror.

On the Square.

Hearing Song Renshou's exclamation, the crowd finally reacted, and one after another, they revealed looks of shock.

It was actually a Dao Domain!

One must know that anyone capable of manifesting a Dao Domain before the Spirit Transformation Stage is, without exception, a Monster with special talent.

This person, whom they had assumed was merely a maid to that man from the outer city, could actually manifest a Dao Domain!!

Could it be...

That this woman is actually the strongest of these four?

Thinking of this, many people's expressions shifted, and a guess emerged in their hearts.

That leading man must be the descendant of a core high-level member of a powerful faction.

And this woman, capable of manifesting a Dao Domain, is a loyal prodigy cultivated by this powerful faction.

She was sent to act as a guardian for the man.

Only in this way could it barely be explained why this woman, despite being so powerful, would be willing to submit to another.

As for Xing Li, it stands to reason that she was defeated by this powerful woman, which is why she is under the man's control.

It is not because of the man's own strength.

In this way, everything is explained.

The man's cultivation is only at the Golden Core Mid Stage; it is not that he possesses a treasure to hide his strength or has some powerful means.

Rather...

He was always just at the level of the Golden Core Mid Stage.

Among these four, the truly powerful one is not the man who leads them.

It is his guardian...

This Monster of a woman who possesses a Dao Domain!
