Chapter 196: Mu Lingxi's Strength

Just as the many shocked gazes on the Square were fixed upon Mu Lingxi, the same thought that everyone else had also emerged in Song Renshou's mind.

He looked at Mu Lingxi with a grave expression and said in a deep voice, "Were those people outside the city gate yesterday killed by your hand?"

"Why, do you want to avenge them?"

Mu Lingxi's long dress fluttered, and her long hair danced with the wind.

Around her, specks of snowflakes drifted down, as if she were an ice and snow goddess.

Hearing Mu Lingxi's voice, Song Renshou revealed a look of "as expected."

Although the other party did not directly admit it, looking at this attitude, it was clearly a tacit acknowledgment.

He suddenly started to laugh.

Turning his head to look at Wang Jianqiang, a trace of mockery flashed across his face, "I originally thought you were the strongest among these people; it turns out you are just a second-generation heir relying on a woman."

"I had originally thought to save my trump card for you, but now it seems Song was overthinking it; you are simply not worthy."

As he spoke, he turned his head back to look at Mu Lingxi, his icy voice carrying out, "Although a Dao Domain is strong, it is not invincible."

"Now..."

"Let me show you Song's true strength!"

As soon as his voice fell, a low shout came from his mouth.

His body expanded instantly, transforming into a small giant over two zhang tall.

The staff in his hand also grew longer and thicker accordingly, turning into a giant staff ten zhang long.

"A Body Refining Cultivator?"

Seeing this scene, Mu Lingxi's expression shifted.

"Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you?"

"Since entering this Assessment Secret Realm, apart from that one time fighting Daoist Friend Lin, Song has never used body refining methods on anyone else."

"To be able to force Song to use the power of body refining, you have enough to be proud of!"

Song Renshou laughed loudly.

The sound waves swept across, causing the eardrums of everyone on the Square to sting, and they covered their ears in pain one after another.

Mu Lingxi frowned.

Between heaven and earth, an invisible force permeated, and the sound waves rushing toward her were diminished layer by layer, finally vanishing completely when they reached before her.

They failed to cause her the slightest damage.

Song Renshou's gaze tightened.

His laughter just now was not done casually.

It was mixed with a sound wave secret technique.

The others were merely affected by the aftermath; the real attack had actually rushed toward Mu Lingxi silently.

He did not expect it to be resolved by her so easily.

This Dao Domain is truly not simple.

He took a step forward and held his giant staff high.

His whole body was tense, and the muscles in his arms bulged high.

"Hah—"

With a violent shout, he swung the giant staff to smash toward Mu Lingxi.

For this strike, he not only poured in all his Spiritual Power, but also exhausted his body refining strength.

It was a strike with all his might.

The giant staff smashed down from above Mu Lingxi's head.

Before it even reached her, a powerful air pressure had already descended.

Mu Lingxi stood within this air pressure pressing down from above, her figure remaining straight, and she raised a hand to press down.

The next moment.

Song Renshou was suddenly subjected to the rejection of this world.

Powerful forces emerged from all directions, squeezing toward him, causing his attack to instantly suffer huge obstruction.

Not only did his attack speed plummet, but the power of the attack was also reduced layer by layer.

When this staff of his finally smashed down, its power was already less than fifty percent of its peak.

Mu Lingxi's expression was calm, and she grabbed forward with five fingers.

Ice Intent gathered, instantly transforming into an Ice Mirror, blocking the staff with ease.

Then she pointed a finger at the Ice Mirror.

Astonishing cold power erupted from the Ice Mirror instantly.

Where the giant staff contacted the Ice Mirror, a layer of ice instantly condensed.

The ice spread upward at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it reached where Song Renshou was gripping the staff.

Song Renshou hurriedly let go of the giant staff, only then avoiding being affected.

When he looked at Mu Lingxi again, his face was filled with horror, and the previous confidence was gone.

He had already exhausted all his strength in that last strike.

Yet it was still easily blocked by the other party; this woman's strength completely exceeded his expectations.

Continuing to stay here would only lead to death.

Thinking of this, a desire to retreat suddenly surged in his heart.

His expression shifted, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and fled toward the outside of the Square.

At this moment, all dignity and face were thrown to the back of his mind.

"Dao Mirror, condense!"

Seeing Song Renshou fleeing toward the distance.

Mu Lingxi remained standing calmly in mid-air, with no intention of pursuing him.

She unhurriedly reached out a hand and pressed forward.

Tyrannical Domain Power surged continuously, gathering in front of her palm.

In the blink of an eye, the Dao Domain that had shrouded this heaven and earth dissipated.

All the Domain Power gathered entirely in front of her palm, transforming into an Ice Mirror less than half a zhang in diameter.

Within the mirror's surface, a figure fleeing at high speed was reflected.

"Split!"

A crisp voice emanated from Mu Lingxi's mouth.

The Ice Mirror suddenly fractured horizontally from the middle; the position of the break was precisely at the base of the thighs of the reflection in the mirror.

"Ah~~!!!"

The instant the mirror split into two, a shrill, miserable scream suddenly came from the distance.

Song Renshou's legs were severed cleanly from the base of his thighs without any warning.

The stumps were smooth, as if they had been cut off by a sharp weapon.

"Split!"

Just at this moment, Mu Lingxi's voice sounded again.

Cracks suddenly appeared on both sides of the remaining half of the Ice Mirror, and it immediately split vertically, turning into three pieces.

Along with it, the arms of the reflection in the mirror were also severed.

"Ah~ No!!!"

The instant the ice crystal fractured again, Song Renshou's arms were severed cleanly.

A shrill, miserable scream erupted from his mouth once more.

Besides pain, the sound was also laced with endless terror.

What kind of power was this?

He hadn't even been able to detect the opponent's attack before his hands and feet had been completely severed!

It was too bizarre!

"Capture~"

Just at this moment, Mu Lingxi slowly raised her palm and grabbed toward the Ice Mirror.

The terror on Song Renshou's face had not yet dissipated when he suddenly felt the space around his body seemingly freeze.

He could no longer move even half an inch.

The next moment, his consciousness suddenly went black, and his figure vanished instantly.

When his consciousness returned, he was horrified to discover that he had been pulled back to the side of the Ice Mirror, a distance of less than five zhang from Mu Lingxi!

This scene made him unable to help but turn pale with fright.

What on earth was going on?

A moment ago he had been a full several hundred zhang away from her; why had he uncontrollably returned to her front in the blink of an eye?

It was as if...

He had been grabbed and brought back by ignoring distance and piercing through space!

Mu Lingxi looked at Song Renshou indifferently.

She pointed a finger.

A wisp of Spiritual Power immediately spread out, binding Song Renshou tightly like a rope.

Then she waved her palm.

Song Renshou suddenly appeared beneath the Battle Stele, suspended in mid-air by the Spiritual Power.

Now that he had lost his hands and feet, his injuries were severe.

That he was still alive was only due to the robust vitality of a cultivator.

Facing Mu Lingxi, he no longer had the slightest ability to resist.

However, he had not fallen into complete despair.

He knew that Lin Yichen would arrive very soon.

As long as Lin Yichen arrived.

Everything would be completely reversed!
