Defeating Lin Zier

Defeating Lin Zier

Holy light enveloped Lin Zier.

It made Lin Zier look even more sacred and inviolable, as though she truly were a Goddess.

"Playing at gods and ghosts? Watch me strike!"

Fury surged through Lin Bai. He rushed forward and thrust his sword at Lin Zier's throat!

"Ant!" Lin Zier watched Lin Bai's sword stab toward her, a trace of disgust showing in her eyes as she uttered two words that sounded like heavenly music.

Rumble!

She thrust out a palm, and immense power struck Lin Bai in the chest as though it were shattering the firmament.

Lin Bai was sent flying on the spot. He rolled five or six times across the ground before finally coming to a stop.

Though the palm had not killed him, it had shifted his internal organs, left him vomiting blood, and made him look utterly battered.

Under the enveloping holy light, Lin Zier was like a Goddess, possessing tremendous strength—at least three times her usual power.

In other words, though Lin Zier was only at the Martial Dao Ninth Level within the holy light, she already possessed the combat strength to defeat the first level of the True Martial Realm.

This was terrifying beyond measure.

A fifth-grade Heaven-ranked martial soul really is formidable! Lin Bai thought inwardly.

"That's enough. It's time to end this." Lin Zier looked down from above. Her body floated three feet above the ground, and she gazed contemptuously at Lin Bai, who was sprawled on the ground, like a divine spirit.

"Primordial Divine Palm!"

This move was the martial soul talent of the Primordial Goddess Path!

Lin Bai had also awakened a martial dao talent—Soul Search.

However, this martial dao talent was rather useless, like food that was tasteless but too good to throw away.

At least in battle, it could not help Lin Bai much at all.

She thrust out a palm, and earth-destroying power swept across the ground, raising a layer of storm.

Even the mud on the ground was lifted into the air.

"Thunder God Sword!"

Crack, crack!

A bolt of thunder descended from the heavens and landed on Lin Bai's sword.

Clutching his sharp sword, Lin Bai's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his teeth, gripped the sword with both hands, and charged toward the storm.

When he reached the storm, Lin Bai leaped into the air. With fury surging into the heavens, he brought his sword down in a slash.

Lightning blazed as an incomparably terrifying sword descended.

"Break!"

As the sword fell, it forcefully shattered Lin Zier's palm strike.

"I didn't expect you to have a little ability, but even that bit of ability is still too insignificant to take the stage. Die, ant." Seeing Lin Bai shatter her attack, Lin Zier's expression remained calm. She curled her finger and flicked it.

A multicolored light shot from between Lin Zier's fingers.

"Primordial God Extinction Light!"

It was the second martial soul talent awakened through the Primordial Goddess Path.

If word got out, countless people would be shocked. Lin Zier had actually awakened two talents while still at the Martial Dao Ninth Level.

What heaven-defying talent!

No wonder King Zhao valued her so highly.

Whoosh—

The divine light came incredibly fast. In an instant, it struck Lin Bai in the chest and pierced straight through, leaving a finger-deep bloody hole.

At the same time, Lin Bai was sent flying backward, landing a hundred meters away as cracks spread across his skin and blood flowed all over his body.

"Now, you understand the gap between us, don't you?"

Lin Zier looked down from above and spoke contemptuously.

"Heh heh." Leaning on his sword, Lin Bai rose from the ground. He lifted his head and stared at Lin Zier with a pair of crimson eyes as he laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Zier asked solemnly.

"I'm laughing at you. You're facing death and still don't realize it!" Lin Bai sneered.

Lin Zier's brows furrowed as she slowly said, "You're the one sprawled before me right now. Who exactly is facing death? Do I really need to spell it out?"

"Is that so? Then I'll show you what I can do!"

"Lin Zier, you're not the only one with a trump card!"

"I have one too!"

"Dragon Emperor's Divine Dragon Arm!"

Buzz, buzz—

A burst of intense golden light rose from both of Lin Bai's arms.

The vigorous blood energy within his body rapidly gathered, and a terrifying force spread out as though it would shatter heaven and earth.

Lin Zier's calm gaze suddenly changed. From Lin Bai's arms, she sensed a trace of death.

Roar—

Before the punch had even been unleashed, a dragon's roar thundered across a hundred miles.

The rapidly approaching Murong Qi, Ji Bei, and the elders of the Four Great Sects were all violently startled.

"That is the roar of a true dragon!" Murong Qi's face was filled with astonishment.

True dragons had long since vanished from the world. Could one possibly appear here?

Doubt filled Murong Qi's heart.

If a true dragon had truly appeared in the Divine Martial Nation, then with a sweep of its tail, the entire nation would probably be reduced to ashes.

"What was that roar?"

"How terrifying!"

"Just hearing that roar has made my whole body tremble!"

"That sounds like—it's a dragon's roar!"

At the foot of the mountain, the martial artists were horrified and hurriedly retreated.

The fear of death made them unwilling to remain here for even another moment.

The golden light on Lin Bai's arm was like a golden sun.

A golden dragon swam within the radiance.

At that moment, Lin Zier was also urging the Primordial Goddess Path with all her strength. Within the holy light, the vague phantom of a noble Holy Daughter could be seen.

"Kill!"

The Divine Dragon Arm twisted to its peak.

Lin Bai's face twisted ferociously as he blasted out a punch.

The terrifying power was enough to destroy heaven and earth!

The instant the punch was thrown, the entire mountain peak collapsed with a boom!

Lin Zier's expression changed drastically. She was no longer as composed as before, and she unleashed her full strength as well:

"Primordial Divine Palm!"

A palm strike terrifying beyond words once again burst from Lin Zier's hand.

The Dragon Emperor's Divine Dragon Arm.

The Goddess's Divine Palm!

They collided violently in midair.

A huge mushroom cloud churned dust in every direction and sent it billowing into the sky.

At the same time, an impact spread across a thousand meters, shattering every cloud in the sky.

Pfft—

After the clash, the holy light around Lin Zier was shattered. Her body flew backward and landed amid the rubble.

She rose with fear in her eyes.

"Lin Zier, hand over your life!"

In the earlier clash, the Divine Dragon Arm had gained the upper hand. It shattered Lin Zier's martial soul and nearly ruptured her heart meridians.

Having struck successfully, Lin Bai immediately gripped the Spirit Severing Sword and sprang from the dust like a demon god.

The moment Lin Bai saw Lin Zier, he viciously swung his sword.

"Not good!"

Lin Zier cried out in alarm and hurriedly leaped aside.

But she was still a step too slow. The sword fell onto Lin Zier's body.

"Ah!"

Lin Zier let out a shrill scream. When she turned her head, she saw that Lin Bai had already severed her left arm.

At the same time, Lin Bai had also cut away Lin Zier's Storage Bag.

"Lin Bai, I'll make you repay today's grudge over my severed arm a hundredfold someday!" Lin Zier glared at Lin Bai through clenched teeth, then turned and ran toward the foot of the mountain.

Lin Bai rushed over, picked up Lin Zier's Storage Bag, and pursued her.

"Do you really think you'll survive today?"

Lin Bai immediately caught up with Lin Zier.

At the foot of the mountain, hundreds of martial artists saw Lin Zier dragging her severed arm and fleeing in utter disarray. They were all startled.

"My heavens, it looks like Lin Zier lost."

"Impossible. Lin Zier has already revealed her martial soul. Within a hundred thousand miles, there can't possibly be anyone who is her match."

"Lin Zier lost—not only did she lose, but she lost miserably. One of her arms was even severed."

"Who exactly defeated Lin Zier?"

The martial artists all looked behind Lin Zier. There, a blood-soaked young man wielding a sharp sword was charging at Lin Zier with a savage, fiendish look.
