Chapter 340: The Temporarily Paused Battle

Lingyun floated in mid-air, looking at the masked possessor before him.

Although the other party's face was covered by a bizarre mask, Lingyun still recognized at a glance that this person before him was Yese Xiayin, whom he had encountered in the church earlier. However, the current Yese Xiayin was clearly in an unconscious state, or rather, a state of complete loss of control, able to act only on instinct.

Lingyun opened one hand, and several Space Arrays unfolded around him; silver chains instantly lunged toward Yese Xiayin. But this time, Yese Xiayin was prepared; light overflowed around her body, and she actually tore all the chains into fragments in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Lingyun raised an eyebrow slightly, joined his right hand's fingers into a sword, and slashed forward; a sharp Sword Qi instantly swept out from his hand. The Sword Qi flew halfway, vibrated, and dispersed, turning into a whole sheet of Sword Qi rushing toward Yese Xiayin.

Yese Xiayin let out a strange hiss, and the mist-like barrier drifting around her body instantly enveloped her. The Sword Qi landed on this strange barrier, only causing ripples to stir, completely unable to exert its powerful destructive force.

"Is this because there are signs that the body is faintly in a higher dimension, making ordinary attacks ineffective?" Looking at the mist drifting around Yese Xiayin, Lingyun raised an eyebrow slightly. "It seems that what is wrapped around her is the high-dimensional Dimensional Membrane. Very well, let me witness what this Dimensional Membrane is capable of!"

Lingyun pointed with one hand, and four different powers—water, fire, wind, and lightning—gathered around him simultaneously, then transformed into four small divine dragons.

"Go!" At Lingyun's command, the miniaturized Four Symbols Dragon Sword Art bombarded Yese Xiayin's direction simultaneously.

Yese Xiayin let out a low roar, her wings spread behind her, and countless Light Blades shot toward the Four Symbols Dragon Sword Art. However, in front of the Four Symbols Dragon Sword Art, the attacks of the light feathers were not worth mentioning. The four divine dragons instantly passed through the sky full of Light Blades and slammed fiercely into the Dimensional Membrane around Yese Xiayin.

This attack did not just cause ripples on the Dimensional Membrane like the previous Sword Qi, but instead made it vibrate violently. However, the four small dragons were still unable to break through the Dimensional Membrane around Yese Xiayin and eventually dissipated into points of light.

"Hmm, if I use the Four Symbols Dragon Sword Art at full power, I should be able to break through this membrane. However, in that case, Yese Xiayin herself would also be reduced to ashes; this is not a very good approach," Lingyun analyzed, while waving his hand to disperse all the Light Blades that had rushed before him.

Seeing that the Light Blades were ineffective against Lingyun, Yese Xiayin retreated a distance, then suddenly condensed a Light Sword in her hand and rushed toward Lingyun.

Lingyun grabbed with his right hand, and a Long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand, after which he met Yese Xiayin.

Once the two exchanged blows, Yese Xiayin was directly suppressed by Lingyun. After all, one was attacking purely on instinct, while the other's swordsmanship had been honed by time. If it weren't for the Dimensional Membrane around Yese Xiayin blocking Lingyun's attacks, she would have been defeated long ago.

Regarding this powerful Dimensional Membrane, Lingyun himself was also somewhat troubled; after all, with his current strength, if he were to forcibly break through it, he would likely wipe out Yese Xiayin along with it.

"Hum—" Golden-silver light flashed across Lingyun's eyes, and the Long sword in Lingyun's hand instantly turned into dust. A tiny wisp of Sword Qi grazed past Yese Xiayin, actually slicing off a small piece of the Dimensional Membrane around her.

Seeing this situation, a flash of terror crossed Yese Xiayin's eyes, and her body retreated rapidly. Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes, and she then rushed violently downward. Lingyun did not pursue her; he grabbed into the Void with his right hand, capturing the about-to-dissipate Dimensional Membrane into his hand. Source Power surged continuously from his hand, stabilizing that piece of the Dimensional Membrane that was about to vanish.

The group led by Xiao Gucheng below had already fallen into a bitter battle; with the protection of the Dimensional Membrane, neither the Golden of the lion, nor the Deep Scarlet of the twin horns, nor the Sekkarou in Himeragi Yukina's hand could cause damage to the masked possessor.

During the intense battle, the lower half of the television tower they were on was directly shattered by the masked possessor. To prevent the television tower from collapsing and causing a huge disaster, Nangong Nayue bound the television tower with Precept Chains, but as a result, she was unable to participate in the battle.

Facing the masked possessor rushing over with great momentum, Xiao Gucheng couldn't help but clench his fists, preparing for an all-out strike. Just at this moment, a Light Spear fell from the sky, directly piercing through her body from behind.

Having succeeded with one strike, Yese Xiayin pounced down from the sky, directly slamming that masked possessor onto a platform in the middle section of the television tower. Just from this powerful strike, the outcome between the two was decided.

"She... she protected us..." Xiao Gucheng's tone was full of surprise.

On the platform in the middle section of the television tower, the final attack of the other masked possessor knocked off Yese Xiayin's mask.

"This, how is this possible?" Looking at Yese Xiayin's profile, Xiao Gucheng and Himeragi Yukina gasped in unison.

The situation at the scene left them completely unable to react; in their understanding, Yese Xiayin was a kind girl who could take care of abandoned Koneko and never resented those who abandoned them, bearing the title of the Saintess of the junior high division. But what appeared before them now was a scene of her drenched in blood, devouring the flesh and blood of her own kind.

Tears flowed continuously from Yese Xiayin's pale green eyes as she chewed on pieces of flesh from her own kind.

"Is this... mutual cannibalism among their own kind? Teacher Lingyun, could he be injured? Why is he gone?" Xiao Gucheng said through gritted teeth.

With a "whoosh," a sharp Light Sword descended from the sky, striking directly at the wings behind Yese Xiayin. Yese Xiayin's body flashed, directly avoiding this attack. The Light Sword landed on the platform, instantly piercing a bottomless small pit into the platform.

Lingyun descended from the sky, looked at the other masked possessor lying in a pool of blood, and sighed softly: "A step too late!"

In Lingyun's hand, he held a Light Ball, and inside the Light Ball was that piece of Dimensional Membrane. To prevent this thing from dissipating, Lingyun had spent quite a bit of energy, which was why he arrived a step late.

Seeing Lingyun appear, a flash of fear crossed Yese Xiayin's eyes; the light on her body grew even brighter, and the wings behind her spread to their maximum, carrying her as she sped away into the distance.

A golden light like the sun shone on Lingyun's left hand, after which he waved it toward the direction where Yese Xiayin was flying. A light like sunlight instantly tore through the night and struck toward Yese Xiayin's direction.

With a "zzt" sound, this light actually penetrated the Dimensional Membrane around Yese Xiayin. Although Yese Xiayin tilted her body in time, a small piece of her wing was still torn off.

A scream came from Yese Xiayin's mouth, and she accelerated, her speed instantly surpassing the speed of sound, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Lingyun landed on the platform, his gaze falling on a string of numbers. Although part of this string of numbers was already covered by blood, Lingyun still recognized at a glance that this was left behind by Yese Xiayin. And this string of numbers was exactly the phone number he had given her.
