Chapter 216: Ye Lingyun's Final Resort

"Ding, Years Sacred Body point addition successful, current Spirit Pattern quantity: Dao."

Following the system's prompt sound.

Densely packed Spirit Patterns instantly sprouted from within Wang Jianqiang's body.

A violent force surged forth like a fountain, giving him an urge to vent it out.

Just at this moment.

Ye Lingyun looked over toward Wang Jianqiang.

He seemed unable to control the powerful force within his body, his expression twisting in pain.

"Lingyun, you only have one quarter of an hour."

"After one quarter of an hour, I must withdraw the power, otherwise it will cause permanent damage to your foundation and affect your future achievements."

"One quarter of an hour is enough."

A hoarse voice came from Ye Lingyun's mouth.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and made a grabbing motion toward Wang Jianqiang.

A flaming palm burning with surging infernal fire condensed and formed, blotting out the sky as it slapped toward Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi.

The terrifying might swept directly across the entire ruin.

In the distance, Su Yutong and Yun Xin, who were fighting, subconsciously stopped their battle and looked up in unison at the massive flaming giant palm in the sky.

"This~"

The moment she saw the flaming giant palm, a look of horror instantly appeared on Su Yutong's face.

Although she was still very far from that battlefield and the flaming palm's target was not her, she still felt an intense scorching aura at this moment.

The skin all over her body was burning with pain.

Besides that, the aura of destruction faintly revealed within that flaming giant palm made her feel a sense of crisis that was intense to the extreme.

Such a terrifying attack, even if only a sliver leaked out, would likely be enough to reduce her to ashes!

Thinking of this, she looked at the two tiny figures beneath the flaming giant palm, a look of intense worry appearing on her face.

"Uncle Wang!"

She subconsciously wanted to rush over to help, but she pulled her steps back as soon as she took them.

She knew her own limits very well.

This level of battle was no longer something she could participate in; rushing in blindly would only result in a pointless death and would be of no use whatsoever.

Thinking of this, she immediately retreated far away.

On the other side.

Yun Xin also felt the power of the flaming giant palm.

Unlike Su Yutong's worry.

The moment she saw the flaming giant palm, a flash of joy rose on her face.

She had long since sensed the fall of her companion.

At that time, a sense of foreboding had already arisen in her heart, and after seeing Xuan Xingzi also killed, she had been almost desperate.

But Ye Lingyun's sudden outburst allowed her to see the hope of victory once again.

No.

It was not just hope.

It was certain victory!

With such a powerful attack, even ten Wang Jianqiangs tied together would only meet the end of being reduced to ashes.

In this battle, Brother Ye was sure to win!

Just at this moment.

She noticed Su Yutong's retreat, and a flash of mockery crossed her eyes, "Su Yutong, do you see Brother Ye's power?"

"Wang Jianqiang is dead for sure!"

"You betrayed such a powerful Brother Ye and turned to rely on Wang Jianqiang instead; you are truly blind."

"Now, do you feel regret?"

While speaking, she was also retreating backward.

Ye Lingyun's strike was too terrifying; even though they were far apart, she still felt a sense of crisis.

She dared not be affected by even a fraction of the aftermath.

Hearing Yun Xin's mocking voice, Su Yutong glanced at her.

She did not respond.

Immediately following, she looked worriedly toward the battlefield again.

Yun Xin sneered, did not continue speaking, and also cast her gaze toward that battlefield.

Beneath the massive flaming giant palm.

Wang Jianqiang and Mu Lingxi were like two tiny ants.

Before the giant palm had even descended, a terrifying high temperature capable of instantly melting an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator had already enveloped the two.

Mu Lingxi condensed her Spiritual Power, resisting with all her might.

But she was still unable to completely block this terrifying temperature, and a look of pain flashed across her pretty face.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Mu Lingxi, his brows furrowing.

His right hand gripped tightly.

In an instant, his entire right arm erupted with dazzling Golden Light, as if cast from gilded gold.

The Dao Spirit Pattern Power, under the amplification of Dharma Heaven and Earth (Intermediate, 2x boost) and Pure Yang Power (Advanced, 3x boost), instantly climbed to the Dao Spirit Pattern Power.

A punch was thrown.

A surge of pure physical strength rushed out like a tide.

The terrifying high temperature enveloping him and Mu Lingxi was instantly dispersed, and immediately after, the fist force collided with the giant flame palm.

Boom~

The giant flame palm shattered instantly, and the fragmented flames fell like a rain of fire.

Wang Jianqiang waved his palm.

The rain of fire was completely blocked.

Su Yutong, who had been watching this scene from afar, let out a long sigh of relief and glanced at Yun Xin, "You seem to be happy a bit too early!"

The expression on Yun Xin's face, which had been full of triumph just a moment ago, instantly stiffened.

He stared blankly at the battlefield in the distance, his face full of disbelief.

"Such a powerful blow was actually blocked!"

"How is this possible!"

……

At the same time.

Ye Lingyun also widened his eyes.

Wang Jianqiang's strength was indeed very strong, but it was only barely comparable to some veteran Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators.

It could not even compare to top-tier Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators.

And he himself was currently at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage of cultivation.

Although it was power bestowed by his master and not as handy as his own, it was still far beyond what a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator could compare to.

Even a top-tier Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator would inevitably be unable to escape unscathed when facing this blow of his.

Yet Wang Jianqiang had actually received it so easily!

Could it be…

Had he been hiding his strength before?

"Be careful, his strength is not right; it is very likely he hid his strength before!"

"This Wang Jianqiang is too treacherous; I observe his expression is calm, he must have something to rely on."

"I suggest… we withdraw for now; the feud between you and him can be settled in the future."

Just as these speculations arose in Ye Lingyun's heart, his master's voice came again in his mind.

He could clearly feel that his master, who had always been indifferent and looked down on all cultivators, actually revealed a trace of apprehension in her tone at this moment!

Ye Lingyun only thought his master was worried for him and did not think much of it.

He stared fixedly at Wang Jianqiang, his expression full of unwillingness.

Since he met his master, his path of cultivation had been smooth sailing with countless opportunities; when had he ever suffered a loss?

Only in front of Wang Jianqiang had he been thwarted time and time again.

The death of the Clan Head and the destruction of his family were still vivid in his mind.

Su Yutong abandoning him to defect to Wang Jianqiang had dealt an even heavier blow to his pride.

Now, Wang Jianqiang had already become an Inner Demon he could not shake off.

He had to eliminate Wang Jianqiang.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth hard.

"Master, I did not use my full strength just now."

"One move!"

"Give me one more chance."

"If I still cannot do anything to him, we will withdraw."

"This~ alright~"

Seeing Ye Lingyun's persistence, the woman was silent for a moment, and her voice sounded in Ye Lingyun's mind again.

"Thank you, Master."

Hearing his master's agreement, Ye Lingyun took a deep breath, flipped his hand, and a cluster of purple flames appeared.

He pressed his palms together, placed the flames between them, and with Spiritual Power surging, he compressed them fiercely toward the flames.

The flames immediately became violent.

At the same time, an exclamation sounded in his mind.

"Lingyun, have you gone mad?"

"Spirit Flame is a rigid and overbearing thing; you are actually attempting to compress it!"

"This will trigger a backlash from the Spirit Flame!"
