Lin Yan's eyes narrowed, knowing that a direct confrontation was not a good strategy. His First Soul Ring flashed— his First Soul Skill: Illusory Color Concealment!
His figure blurred instantly, as if blending into the surrounding colors, and his aura decreased significantly. At the same time, his footwork shifted, narrowly avoiding the core impact of the hurricane, though his clothes were fluttered by the edge of the blast wave.
"A concealment Soul Skill?" Ye Feng's eyes blazed, and his powerful mental energy spread out, attempting to lock onto Lin Yan. However, Lin Yan's Illusory Color Concealment not only changed color but also incorporated a certain degree of aura Simulation and light distortion. Under the interference of the night and the Soul Skill's light, Ye Feng momentarily lost sight of his target.
Just then, Lin Yan's figure flashed behind Ye Feng, his Second Soul Ring shining brightly— his Second Soul Skill: Scale-Leaf Light Rain!
Countless Blue Silver Grass, shimmering with fine scales, shot towards the Ye Feng like a sudden storm, covering a vast area. Each blade contained penetrating power. This was not intended to cause much damage, but rather to disrupt and probe.
Ye Feng's Soul Power surged, forming a protective aura. Most of the scales were deflected, but a few highly penetrating scales still caused ripples on his protective aura, forcing him to focus on defense.
"Control, concealment, area attack... a good combination," Ye Feng commented, but his attack became even more ferocious. His Fourth Soul Ring lit up— Space-Rending Shadow Assault! His figure suddenly split into three blurry afterimages, rushing towards Lin Yan from different directions, his true body hidden among them, making it difficult to distinguish.
The pressure suddenly increased! Lin Yan knew he could no longer rely solely on dodging and defense. He took a deep breath, and his Fourth Soul Ring Soul Ring, which he hadn't used until now, suddenly emitted a dazzling light!
Fourth Soul Skill: Living Spirit Domain!
Centered on Lin Yan, a soft, emerald-green halo instantly spread out, enveloping an area of twenty meters in radius. Within this domain, countless tiny Blue Silver Grass sprouted wildly from the cracks in the bluestone slabs on the ground, and the air was filled with a rich life force. Lin Yan immediately felt a significant improvement in his Soul Power recovery speed and sensory sensitivity, while Ye Feng, who stepped into the domain, vaguely felt a slight sluggishness in his movements, as if invisible vines were Entanglement his hands and feet.
"A domain-type Soul Skill?!" Ye Feng was genuinely surprised. This was an extremely rare type of Soul Skill! He felt his speed was affected to some extent, and the three afterimages became less solid under the interference of the Living Spirit Domain.
"Now!" A glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, and a dazzling light suddenly shone behind him. Eight tangible, azure wings made of countless fine, sword-shaped leaves instantly unfolded— Soul Bone Skill: Nine-Leaf Sword Wings!
In addition, Lin Yan held a sword in his hand, which was another sword wing from the Nine-Leaf Sword Wings besides the eight on its back.
Because Ye Feng is Space-Rending Eagle, he has air superiority. If you don't use your Soul Bone, it will be difficult to engage him head-on. You can only be worn down by Ye Feng.
With a flap of his sword wings, Lin Yan's speed suddenly increased, and he broke free from the encirclement of Ye Feng's three afterimages as if by Teleportation, soaring into the sky! He had gained air superiority!
"A flying Soul Bone!" Ye Feng looked up, his surprise deepening. This kid's trump cards far exceeded his expectations!
Lin Yan hovered in mid-air. The Nine-Leaf Sword Wings were not only a means of flight, but also powerful offensive weapons with extremely sharp edges. Combined with the sword wings in his hands, they formed a comprehensive offensive strategy.
He swooped down, the edges of his sword wings whistling as they tore through the air. Lin Yan swung his sword at Ye Feng! At the same time, the Blue Silver Grass on the ground, empowered by the Living Spirit Domain, seemed to come alive, frantically Entanglement around Ye Feng's legs and restricting his movement.
Ye Feng finally unleashed even greater power, his Fifth Soul Ring igniting— Eagle Strikes the Vast Sky! His body shone with a brilliant azure light, transforming into a gigantic eagle-shaped figure that soared into the sky, directly clashing with Lin Yan's sword wings as he swooped down!
"Boom!"
The Soul Saint's formidable Soul Power collided fiercely with Lin Yan's attack, which combined his Soul Bone and domain power. The shockwaves rippled outwards, cracking the bluestone slabs on the ground.
Lin Yan was thrown backward by the shock, his Nine-Leaf Sword Wings trembling violently. He felt a sweet taste in his throat, but he forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi. Ye Feng was also stopped in mid-air, his figure slightly pausing.
In that brief moment of hesitation, a resolute glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, and he frantically poured all his Soul Power into his Fourth Soul Skill and Soul Bone!
The life energy in the Living Spirit Domain was compressed to the extreme. The Blue Silver Grass within the domain was no longer Entanglement, but rather like countless tough chains, tightly binding Ye Feng's ankles and even attempting to spread upwards!
At the same time, the eight light wings on the Nine-Leaf Sword Wings suddenly detached and transformed into eight huge azure light swords composed entirely of energy and sword leaves. From different angles, they tore through the air, emitting deafening roars, and fiercely shot towards Ye Feng, who was temporarily restrained!
The power of this attack was close to that of a peak-level Soul King's full-force strike! This moved Ye Feng deeply!
He could have easily shattered the restraints and lightsaber with his absolute Soul Power as Soul Saint, but that would have likely caused Lin Yan to suffer a backlash and severely injure Lin Yan, which was not his intention. Under the rules of "enduring for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn" and "proving protective abilities," Lin Yan's tenacity, tactics, endless tricks, and this final earth-shattering counterattack have fully demonstrated his potential and strength!
Ye Feng Feng's Seventh Soul Ring suddenly lit up— Martial Soul Avatar! Space-Rending Eagle!
However, he did not unleash the full power of his true form. He merely used the power of his true form's instantaneous burst to easily shatter the Blue Silver chains on his ankles, while simultaneously closing his wings to form an absolute defense.
"Boom boom boom...!"
Eight azure light swords struck the Martial Soul Avatar's defenses in succession, unleashing a dazzling light.
At this moment, Lin Yan saw that Ye Feng had already used his Martial Soul Avatar and that the incense stick was almost burned out. So he immediately pretended that his Soul Power was exhausted and stopped injecting Soul Power into the eight light swords. The light swords also slowly dissipated in the confrontation with the Martial Soul Avatar. Lin Yan put the Soul Bone into his body and then slowly fell from the sky, not forgetting to Simulation his face look pale.
Just then, the incense stick in the nearby incense burner burned out its last wisp of smoke.
A brief silence fell over the courtyard.
Su Wan and Ye Lingling both held their breath nervously.
Ye Feng retracted his Soul Ring and deactivated his Martial Soul Avatar. Looking at the young man before him, whose Soul Power was exhausted and whose clothes were somewhat disheveled, a genuine smile finally appeared on his serious face.
He stepped forward and patted Lin Yan on the shoulder, the force not light, but full of approval:
"Good lad! You've got guts and skills! I, Ye Feng, acknowledge you!"
Under the eaves, Ye Lingling's tense nerves finally relaxed, a hint of tears welling in her eyes, but an undeniable, beautiful smile curved her lips. Su Wan smiled with relief as well, gently taking her daughter's hand.
Lin Yan let out a long sigh of relief, his heart filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment. He looked at Ye Lingling, and the two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.
