Chapter 217: Meeting Again

He heard the exclamation coming from his mind.

Ye Lingyun's expression remained unmoved.

A trace of madness flickered across his face as Spiritual Power continuously surged from his palms, compressing toward the cluster of purple flames between them.

The Spirit Flame, subjected to compression, instinctively began to resist.

The waves of powerful counter-shock force caused Ye Lingyun's arms to tremble, and his complexion gradually turned pale.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

He did not know what the other party was doing, but stopping it was the right thing to do.

He threw a punch.

The Golden Fist Energy tore through the air, flying toward Ye Lingyun like a shockwave.

Ye Lingyun was still attempting to compress the Spirit Flame.

As the Golden Fist Energy approached, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

"Lingyun, watch out!"

Inside the ring, the Soul Body woman could not even suppress the urge to rush out of the ring.

Just at this critical moment, Ye Lingyun used some unknown method and finally overcame the Spirit Flame's resistance.

The purple flames instantly contracted, condensing into a slender Purple Needle in the blink of an eye.

"You actually succeeded!"

The moment the Purple Needle appeared, the Soul Body woman's voice of surprise rang out in Ye Lingyun's mind.

The power of the Spirit Flame was already formidable; after being compressed once, its might would inevitably undergo a qualitative improvement.

In the past, it was not as if no one had thought of compressing the Spirit Flame to make it erupt with greater power.

But the power of the Spirit Flame was too overbearing.

It would rather break than bend.

No one had ever succeeded before.

He never expected Ye Lingyun to have such a powerful talent in controlling the Spirit Flame.

He had actually succeeded in compressing the Spirit Flame!

Feeling the powerful force contained within the Purple Needle, Ye Lingyun felt a surge of excitement.

It was just a desperate attempt born of unwillingness, yet he never expected it to actually succeed!

At this moment.

The Golden Fist Energy had already appeared within three zhang of him.

The tyrannical force stirred up a gale, causing his robes to flutter loudly.

At this moment, Ye Lingyun's expression suddenly became calm and confident.

He flicked his finger.

The Purple Needle shot out, immediately colliding with the Golden Fist Energy.

Silently and soundlessly.

The fist energy disintegrated.

The Purple Needle pierced through the fist energy and headed straight for Wang Jianqiang.

"Senior Brother Wang, watch out!"

Seeing this scene, Mu Lingxi could not help but exclaim.

Wang Jianqiang smiled, neither dodging nor evading, and reached out his palm to grab the silver needle directly.

"Courting death!"

Seeing this, Ye Lingyun and the mysterious woman secretly watching from the ring both revealed sneers.

However, the sneers had barely climbed onto their faces before they instantly froze.

Under their gaze.

Wang Jianqiang had actually grabbed the Purple Needle in his palm.

They had assumed Wang Jianqiang's palm would be instantly torn apart, but the reality was that only an imperceptible sound of metal colliding rang out from his palm.

And then...

There was no then.

The Purple Needle, containing such powerful force, was just like that, firmly gripped in his hand!

"Is this your trump card?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Ye Lingyun with disdain and squeezed his palm shut.

Pfft~

A muffled sound came from his palm, a flash of purple fire appeared, and then it lost all movement.

Wang Jianqiang opened his palm, and a wisp of black flame slowly rose up.

It was the only remnant left after the Purple Needle exploded.

Only then did Ye Lingyun finally discover that Wang Jianqiang's palm had long since turned into a pure golden color.

There was not the slightest glimmer of light.

Nor was there any astonishing aura.

It was just like a palm crafted from gold in the secular world.

However, neither Ye Lingyun nor the mysterious woman in the ring dared to underestimate this palm in the slightest.

It was this very palm that had easily extinguished a powerful attack capable of making a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator change their expression!

"Lingyun, flee quickly!"

Just at this moment, an anxious cry from his master suddenly rang out in Ye Lingyun's mind.

Ye Lingyun instantly snapped back to his senses.

Without even thinking, he shot off toward the outside of the ruins.

As for Yun Xin, he could no longer spare the concern.

Wang Jianqiang's strength had completely exceeded his expectations.

If he delayed his escape by even a single breath, the probability of him getting away would drop significantly.

He dared not waste a single moment.

"Want to run?"

"Did you ask me?"

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang sneered, bent his legs slightly, and then his power erupted.

Boom—

The earth crumbled.

His entire body shot out like a cannonball.

The distance between the two was closing rapidly.

"This won't do, his speed is too fast. If things go on like this, he will catch up before you reach the edge of the Trapping Array!"

"Prepare yourself, I will go and intercept him for you!"

The solemn voice of the mysterious woman rang out in Ye Lingyun's mind.

"Master, are you certain?" A flash of worry crossed Ye Lingyun's face.

Hearing Ye Lingyun's words, the Soul Body woman in the ring was silent for a moment, "I am not certain, but my foundation is in the Spirit God Ring. As long as the Spirit God Ring is unharmed, at worst I will self-destruct, and at most I will fall into a deep slumber once again."

Hearing his master's words, Ye Lingyun's heart instantly tightened.

He appeared warm and outgoing to the outside world, but in reality, he was cold-natured.

In his view, whether it was a childhood sweetheart, a companion, or a lover, none were as important as his own life and future.

But his master was different.

When he was young, his master had appeared by his side.

Guiding his cultivation, teaching him how to establish himself in the Immortal World, saving his life countless times...

To him, his master was like a second parent.

He could betray anyone without changing his expression, but he would never betray his master.

Therefore, upon hearing his master say she might self-destruct her Soul Power and fall into a deep slumber again, a look of hesitation immediately appeared on his face.

However, he also knew clearly that this was the only way now.

If they did this, they still had a glimmer of hope.

If they did not, both his master and he would fall into Wang Jianqiang's clutches.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and plunged forward toward the edge of the ruins.

At the same time.

A wisp of light smoke flew out from the White Jade Ring on his finger, transforming into a silver-haired woman of peerless beauty.

After this figure appeared, the vast power within Ye Lingyun's body instantly lost its source, and in the blink of an eye, his cultivation dropped back to the Golden Core Stage Perfection.

His speed plummeted.

Ye Lingyun seemed to have anticipated this; his figure did not pause in the slightest as he continued to fly toward the edge of the ruins.

After the silver-haired woman appeared, she did not immediately look at Wang Jianqiang, who was approaching at high speed.

Instead, she pressed her palm toward the light screen at the edge of the ruins.

The Spirit Qi of heaven and earth gathered rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a giant palm print, which slapped down toward the edge of the ruins.

The palm print seemed to cross space, landing on the light screen in an instant.

Boom—

Amidst a massive roar, the Trapping Array shrouding these ruins trembled violently and then collapsed with a bang.

At the same time, Wang Jianqiang had already closed to within ten zhang of the silver-haired woman.

His right palm, which looked as if it were cast from pure gold, clenched fiercely.

He threw a punch.

Boom!

Amidst a massive sonic boom, a vast Golden Fist Energy appeared before the silver-haired woman in an instant.

The woman's expression tightened, and she pressed her palm forward.

A Spiritual Power Barrier appeared.

Crack!

The next moment, the fist energy descended.

A large number of cracks instantly appeared on the Spiritual Power Barrier.

The silver-haired woman's expression was solemn as she flicked her fingers repeatedly.

Streams of Spiritual Power were continuously struck into the barrier.

The rate at which the cracks on the Spiritual Power Barrier were spreading instantly dropped significantly.

Crack!

In the end, the Spiritual Power Barrier still could not withstand the Golden Fist Energy.

But after breaking through the Spiritual Power Barrier, the power of the Golden Fist Energy was also completely exhausted.

Although it knocked the silver-haired woman back several steps, it did not cause her any injury.

Whoosh—

Just as the silver-haired woman steadied her figure, a face wearing a strange, smiling expression suddenly filled her field of vision.

"Beauty, we meet again."
