"Yes." The woman in blue, Jin Ying, replied softly. Her soft and gentle voice could easily soothe one's soul. Even Yun Lintian's heart was disturbed slightly.
It could be seen how powerful her soul technique was.
On the side, the woman in white, Jin Yu, didn't say anything. Her magnificent eyes kept fixing Yun Lintian as if she wanted to see through him.
"How is she now?" Yun Lintian asked with concern. He hadn't seen Murong Xue for a long time and didn't know what she was doing.
"Hall Master is doing well. However, she has many things at hand currently." Jin Ying replied.
Yun Lintian nodded. "You two can go back and tell her I appreciate her goodwill, but I prefer to go alone."
Before Jin Ying could respond, Jin Yu frowned and said in dissatisfaction. "Aren't you too arrogant? Do you think you have become invincible after reaching level eighth of Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm?"
Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly as he looked at her. "Why did you think like that?"
Jin Yu scoffed. "It's all written on your face. You clearly think of us as burdens."
Yun Lintian shook his head with a faint smile. "I have never thought like that. I prefer to go alone because it's more convenient for me."
"Stop talking! Defeat me first, and I will leave." Jin Yu said coldly, and her aura erupted.
The air was violently torn apart as an eerie glow flashed, shooting toward Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly. Jin Yu's aura obviously belonged to the second level of the Divine Foundation Realm. It was no wonder she was confident of beating him.
He pointed his finger at the incoming attack, and a sharp golden beam immediately shot out.
BOOM!
The attacks from both sides collided midair, causing the surrounding space to shake violently.
Clang!
In that instant, Jin Yu drew a long purple sword out as it seemed to crackle with purple lightning. The hum of a sword immediately reverberated throughout the space.
With the sword in her hand, Jin Yu's bearing changed dramatically. She was even more imposing and indifferent as her aura expanded around him, quickly filling the entire area.
Her towering momentum burst forth with the low, reverberating hum of her sword.
Woosh!
The purple sword in her hand stirred up a long illusory purple sword shadow, which shot ahead, piercing through the darkness like a sudden crack of thunder.
Seeing this scene, Linlin and Qingqing were dissatisfied and wanted to make a move, but they were stopped by Yun Lintian.
"Leave it to me." Yun Lintian said calmly. His eyes were full of composure without the slightest of agitation as he watched the purple sword shadow rush over.
Instead of dodging, Yun Lintian just stretched out and swept his right hand.
His movement looked simple and understated, yet it was as miraculous as if he'd swept aside the clouds and revealed the sun.
Roar—
At that moment, a powerful dragon's cry rang out as a water dragon emerged from Yun Lintian's hand, rushing toward the incoming sword shadow.
"Hmm?" Jin Yu's pupils constricted as she saw her sword shadow being swallowed by the water dragon.
She immediately changed her stance. If her earlier stance was like lightning streaking across the sky, her current stance was like a densely layered mountain range. It swept through the sea with no obvious weaknesses to exploit. Completely unshakeable!
However, Yun Lintian's hand moved just as before, with only one subtle change. This time, the pale skin of his fingertips emitted a dazzling golden light.
Clang!
A massive, deafening boom echoed when the sword and fingertip collided as the surrounding water stirred fiercely.
The seemingly invincible sword force from Jin Yu burst apart and disappeared as if it were made of soap bubbles.
Immediately afterward, Yun Lintian's palm opened and grabbed onto Jin Yu's wrist.
Crackle—
It was obviously just a light pull, as gentle as a drizzle in spring, yet Jin Yu felt like she was pulled away by a spatial rift. Her arm was instantly broken, producing a bone-breaking sound.
The purple sword was immediately blown away from her hand by the sea current.
Jin Yu groaned in pain but didn't completely lose her composure. While being grabbed by him, she quickly swept her leg toward Yun Lintian's abdomen. Her action was extremely swift and precise, to the point her leg left several afterimages behind.
Yun Lintian's eyes frosted when he saw this scene. This woman obviously wanted to cripple him.
His aura burst forth as he sent out a kick toward her incoming leg. His movement was twice faster and stronger, causing the surrounding water the burst apart.
BOOOM!
Jin Yu's face turned pale as Yun Lintian's kick landed on her leg. She could feel that all the bones in it were shattered into pieces directly.
At the same time, the momentum brought by Yun Lintian's kick sent her flying into a distance like a broken kite. Blood could be seen trailing behind.
Yun Lintian glanced at Jin Ying and said coldly. "Want to intervene?"
Earlier, before his kick landed, Yun Lintian could feel a strange force pressed down on his arm, causing him to let Jin Yu's wrist go. Otherwise, he could pull Jin Yu over and give her another blow instead of sending her flying like this.
Jin Ying waved her hand to help Jin Yu and then bowed her head toward Yun Lintian. "Please forgive her. She has always been dissatisfied with this mission, and her ignorance made her believe she could beat you."
"Now, she has been taught a lesson. I hope Young Master could Yun show kindness and let her go."
"You obviously saw what she tried to do earlier. If it wasn't for my Second Sister's face, she would be long gone by now." Yun Lintian said coldly. "What if I was weaker than her? Wouldn't I become a cripple by now?"
Jin Ying still didn't raise her head as she said. "I had prepared a countermeasure before she could land her attack."
"Do you think this is a satisfied answer?" Yun Lintian laughed coldly. He waved his hand and said. "Forget it. Go back and tell my Second Sister what I said before."
As he spoke, he immediately flew into the black portal, disappearing from Jin Ying's sight.
"Sister…" Jin Yu coughed up blood and said weakly.
Jin Ying looked at her miserable younger sister and said calmly. "Now you know there will always be a higher sky."
Jin Yu lowered her head immediately.
"Let's go back."
