Chapter 370: True Strength!

Ye Qingran lifted her brow, spread her hands, and said, "Let's have a match! What else could we do?"

Lin Xueyan stood up, suppressing the anger in her heart, without a word, she attacked Ye Qingran again.

Her assault was extremely fierce, yet she couldn't even touch the corner of Ye Qingran's clothes.

Ye Qingran seemed to always defuse Lin Xueyan's attacks at the critical moment. Although it appeared Ye Qingran was always on the defensive, the more one watched, the more Lin Xueyan seemed like a dog being teased!

Lin Xueyan's mindset began to crack, her hair even became disheveled, which she didn't bother to fix; she was solely focused on grabbing Ye Qingran to vent her hatred.

The onlookers, seeing this, found Lin Xueyan increasingly ridiculous, while Ye Qingran handled things with ease, her expression unchanged, full of wisdom.

Donglin Emperor, are you really not mistaken? I feel this Miss Ye seems like someone who has spent five years at the peak of the pursuit!

The Da Xia Nation finally couldn't hold back and voiced the doubt in their hearts.

The more he watched, the more he felt Lin Xueyan was like a clown, constantly being toyed with by Ye Qingran.

The Donglin Emperor's mouth twitched.

Could this still be a mistake?

Lin Zhishang heard this, his face darkened, thinking they couldn't continue like this, otherwise the Lin family would lose all face!

"Xueyan, don't fall into her trap!"

Upon hearing Lin Zhishang's voice, Lin Xueyan finally shuddered.

Her pupils contracted; she then realized she had just been muddle-headed, actually being led by the nose by Ye Qingran!

In her heart, a nameless anger burned ever fiercer!

"Ye Qingran, do you only know these little tricks?"

"Lin Xueyan, can't you even handle these little tricks?"

Ye Qingran responded calmly.

Lin Xueyan gave a cold smile, "Just now, out of consideration for your lack of a Spiritual Root, I only used thirty percent of my strength. I didn't expect to have underestimated you."

The crowd suddenly understood. No wonder Ye Qingran could push Lin Xueyan around—it turned out Lin Xueyan hadn't used her full strength.

"Why don't you try using your full strength?" Ye Qingran raised her eyebrows, full of provocation.

Lin Xueyan gritted her teeth in hatred, her breath sank again, and this time the aura bursting from her whole body was even more formidable.

"Ye Qingran, take this move!"

Lin Xueyan turned her palm into a claw, and terrifying Mysterious Force flowed between her fingers.

No one would doubt how powerful this move's power is.

Anyway, they couldn't withstand it!

The crowd unconsciously looked at Ye Qingran, wanting to know how she would respond.

By common sense, Ye Qingran should choose defense as the main strategy, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge.

Who would have thought, Ye Qingran's lips curled into a strange arc, then she slightly bent her knees, after a brief buildup, her figure actually sprang upward!

She herself was of peerless beauty, clad in a long dress of Heavenly Silkworm Silk, making her look ethereal like an immortal, yet the aura between her brows and eyes was like that of a Female War God.

Both ethereal and spirited!

She turned her body, actually clenching a fist with one hand, and attacked Lin Xueyan from above!

Everyone's gaze froze!

Ye Qingran actually intended to meet force with force!

You know, Lin Xueyan is now exerting a hundred percent of her strength!

That is the Mysterious Lord's Ultimate Strong Strike!

Especially, Ye Qingran's surroundings showed not a trace of Mysterious Force Wave. That scene was like a flesh-and-blood body colliding with a steel spear!

The ending is destined to be a bloody mess!

The crowd was immensely shocked, silently breaking a sweat for Ye Qingran.

"Overestimating oneself!"

Lin Xuewei looked at Ye Qingran with a face full of sarcasm.

"Ye Qingran is practically seeking death!"

Dongfang Ling'er said coldly.

Yun Zhi in the crowd secretly hoped Lin Xueyan would defeat Ye Qingran, preferably 'by accident' taking Ye Qingran's life! Then Xiao Chen would return to her side!

Lin Xueyan seemed to sense Ye Qingran's intention, her eyes filled with disdainful cold smiles.

Ye Qingran, since you're seeking death, I will fulfill your wish!

This move of hers looks simple and casual, but it's actually a technique she secretly learned from Xi Ji, its power terrifying; with this claw, if she wishes, she can crush Ye Qingran!

Just when everyone thought Ye Qingran would surely lose...

Thud~

A muffled sound.

Ye Qingran smashed down with a punch, invincible, unstoppable.

In contrast, the mighty-aura Lin Xueyan suddenly stiffened.

Immediately, her whole body trembled.

Thump~

Her knees actually gave way, and she knelt down!

Ye Qingran released her force, her figure flashed and landed on the ground; at the moment she landed, Lin Xueyan's knee happened to hit the ground, facing exactly the direction Ye Qingran was standing!

It was as if Lin Xueyan had voluntarily knelt before Ye Qingran!

Silence!

Deathly silence!

Even many people had not yet reacted.

Only when a trickle of blood flowed from Lin Xueyan's lip did they realize that Lin Xueyan had been defeated by Ye Qingran's seemingly weak punch...

Defeated!

How could this happen?

Lin Xueyan is a Profound Lord–level expert! How could Ye Qingran possibly kick Lin Xueyan flying?

Ye Qingran moved her wrist, as if doing warm-up exercises. 'Hey, I didn't lie to you, did I? Good thing you made the first move, otherwise you wouldn't even have had a chance to strike!'

Ye Qingran spoke in the gentlest tone, uttering the cruelest words.

It was tantamount to killing and destroying the heart!

Lin Xueyan, whose qi and blood were already surging, saw the bloodstain at the corner of her mouth deepen.

The intense pain throughout her body, her knees buckling to the ground, and the countless doubtful gazes around her made Lin Xueyan feel like a thorn in her back, her whole body tense.

How could this happen?

How could she lose to Ye Qingran?

This is absolutely impossible!

"Lin Xueyan, you lost!"

Ye Qingran's clear voice echoed in Jin Luan Hall.

Everyone's gaze froze at that moment.

Ye Qingran, with a body lacking spiritual roots—a worthless frame—defeated Lin Xueyan, who had returned from the Zhu Lu Summit!

This—surely this isn't a dream, is it?

Lin Xueyan, you lost!

Those words echoed in her ears like a demonic chant.

"Don't disgrace the Zhu Lu Summit!" The Emperor Sovereign's words became the final straw that broke Lin Xueyan.

She snapped her gaze up, a storm gathering in her eyes.

"Ye Qingran, I will not lose!"

She sprang to her feet, her form turning into lightning, a black whip appearing in her hand as she lunged to kill Ye Qingran.

If Lin Xueyan had used all her strength before, now she was exerting a hundred and twenty percent!

The long whip in her hand turned into a black giant serpent, which opened its massive jaws, revealing sharp, gleaming fangs.

All this happened in the blink of an eye; Lin Xueyan's movements were as swift as lightning, giving hardly any time to react.

Lin Xuewei and the others were overjoyed.

Ye Qingran, are you finally going to die?

Speak of the devil, and he appears.

Ye Qingran's face showed no fear; she merely furrowed her brows, then raised a hand and sucked in, causing a willow branch to fly from a nearby porcelain vase into her hand.

She swung the supple willow branch, chopping down to meet that black whip!

Pap—

In that instant, the black whip's attack collapsed, while the willow branch's force pressed forward irresistibly, sweeping toward Lin Xueyan's face with the force of tearing apart rotting wood.

Then...

Pap—

Another crisp crack sounded, and a bloodstain suddenly appeared on Lin Xueyan's fair face!

It spread from the left forehead to the right chin.

Horrifying, terrifying!

Her body was also blasted away by the tremendous force!

She slammed into the invisible barrier of the Barrier, spitting out a mouthful of blood that slid to the ground.

Her hair was disheveled, her clothes in disarray, her head bleeding.

At this moment, Lin Xueyan was as embarrassed as could be!

Gazes fell upon her, filled with shock.

Looking again at Ye Qingran, the slender willow branch over a foot long still lay in her hand, soft and weak; no one would believe that such a powerful strike had just been delivered with that very branch!

Defeating the weapon-wielding Profound Lord Lin Xueyan with a single willow branch, just how terrifying is Ye Qingran's true strength?

For a moment, everyone's gaze toward Ye Qingran carried deep complexity, even reverence.

Ye Qingran lifted her foot and walked slowly toward Lin Xueyan.

Each of her steps seemed to tread on everyone's hearts.

Lin Xueyan looked at Ye Qingran in terror, 'What are you going to do?'

Ye Qingran crouched down, leaning to her ear, 'I heard that your Emperor Sovereign ordered you not to disgrace the Zhu Lu Summit.'

Lin Xueyan's pupils trembled violently.

Ye Qingran, how do you know?

Could it be that she already knows the Grand National Master is the National Master of the Zhu Lu Summit?

Ye Qingran, however, rose and left.

Left alone, Lin Xueyan's emotions remained unsettled for a long time.

The result was now clear: the Barrier was lifted, and Lin Xuewei hurried to check on Lin Xueyan's condition.

"Ye Qingran, you're hardly a waste, are you? You've been hiding your strength, right?!"

Everyone awaited Ye Qingran's answer.

"Just what is her strength?"

"Yeah."

Ye Qingran admitted openly.

"What exactly is your strength?"

Gazes fell upon Ye Qingran, waiting for her answer.

"Want to know? Then watch closely."

Ye Qingran's lips curled into an unrestrained curve. Her aura sank, and a mighty aura as vast as the ocean spread out.

For a moment, the immense Jin Luan Hall shook!
