Although this Soul Impact was mighty, it was not without countermeasures. As long as one’s will was strong enough, one could resist it. Even if one could resist, it would merely reduce the effect, shortening the time one was immobilized. It was almost impossible to be completely unaffected.
With Yi Luo Xiang’s current abilities, she could bewilder the Winged King for about two seconds, and the Purple Emperor Sword Dragon’s straight-line speed was one of the fastest among dragons in the world. Therefore, covering a distance of two hundred meters was practically instantaneous. The Winged King had not yet broken free from his immobility before reaching the destination.
Astride the Eagle Dragon, the Winged King blankly stared at the giant sword before his throat, shimmering with purple light. In that split second, all he felt was a wave of dizziness enveloping his brain. Even though he swiftly regained clarity through his willpower, it was all meaningless now. The conclusion was already reached.
"I... I... I lost!" Despite the immense humiliation, the Winged King was man enough to grit his teeth and admit defeat once things had gotten to this stage.
Hearing these words, Yi Luo Xiang nodded slightly. With a gesture of her right hand, the Purple Emperor Sword Dragon instantly darted back to her. At the same time, Yi Luo Xiang turned the dragon around, ready to leave...
"Wait a minute!" Just then, the Winged King abruptly called out to Yi Luo Xiang, loudly saying, "I want to know, how much strength did you really put into this battle?"
Upon hearing his words, Yi Luo Xiang was momentarily stunned, then her figure disappeared instantaneously, reappearing eerily beside the Winged King with the Purple Emperor Sword Dragon held vertically in front of her. With a flash of purple light, eight faintly purple Sword Qi howled forth.

"Shh-shh-shh..." Amid the sharp sounds of slicing the air, the eight streams of Sword Qi crisscrossed, effectively sealing all the space around them, nearly grazing the body of the Winged King as they whizzed past.
Under everyone’s gaze, the eight streams of Sword Qi soon vanished. The ones in the air dissipated, but those directed towards the ground left deep, bottomless sword marks on the tough surface.
After releasing a move, Yi Luo Xiang didn’t utter another word, her figure disappeared in an instant and reappeared next to Xin Yun. At the same time, Xin Yun and Yan Qingying had already rushed over to congratulate her with a high-five.
Looking at the now docile and obedient Yi Luo Xiang, Ke Zhan and Speedy Slash both swallowed hard, terrified... This girl was truly terrifying! If she had wanted to, she could have ended the battle right at the start. Instantaneous movement combined with rampant Sword Qi, how could one possibly break through such an attack combination?
Earlier, when Xin Yun said Yi Luo Xiang could end the battle in three seconds, they thought Xin Yun was crazy. Now, having witnessed Yi Luo Xiang’s attack, they realized just how modest Xin Yun had been. In fact... Yi Luo Xiang had utterly defeated the opponent in just an instant, not even a full second had passed.
"This..." Looking at the three exchanging congratulations, Speedy Slash was the first to recover, swallowing with difficulty before cautiously asking, "I want to know, can the boss end the battle instantly like Yi Luo, too?"
Upon hearing Speedy Slash’s words, Xin Yun and the others turned their heads to look over. After clearly hearing the question, Yi Luo Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, while Yan Qingying resolutely nodded and said, "Of course he can, is that even a question?"
Hearing Yan Qingying’s words, Xin Yun smiled silently. Indeed... If he were to unleash Thunderbolt, he could immobilize the opponent too. As for straight-line speed, propelled by his wings, he was definitely not slower than the Purple Emperor Sword Dragon and could complete an instant kill!
Looking at Yan Qingying, who seemed to think the question was foolish, Speedy Slash shrank back, thinking to himself... If Xin Yun couldn’t do it, then why would those two girls follow him so loyally? It was probably the other way around.
Of course, Speedy Slash misconceived part of it. The relationship between Xin Yun and the two girls was not something outsiders could imagine. Even if Xin Yun were utterly worthless, their relationship would not change.
Yi Luo Xiang was the most sentimental; for her, everything else was insubstantial compared to her feelings. As for Yan Qingying, she was accustomed to loyalty. In her previous life, even when she became one of the Nine Great Experts, she remained utterly devoted to her master without any second thoughts.
As Speedy Slash was deep in thought, Ke Zhan coughed slightly, cleared his throat, and then asked with some difficulty, "Can I ask which one of you three is the strongest?"
Faced with Ke Zhan’s question, Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying unhesitatingly raised their left and right hands respectively, pointing directly at Xin Yun. There was no doubt about it, they couldn’t counter the Thunderbolt. If it were a one-on-one match, they would undoubtedly lose.
Hissing in surprise at the girls’ decisive actions, Ke Zhan and Speedy Slash both sucked in a breath of cold air. Just think... How monstrous must someone be, whom a person capable of instantly killing the Winged King could not defeat? Perhaps... they really were following a significant figure!
Watching their gobsmacked expressions, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "Don’t listen to their nonsense. Our strengths are more or less the same, and you know, I was only impressive at the beginning. But with the constraints of talent, aptitude, and potential, I will inevitably be left behind later on."
Hearing Xin Yun’s words, the two girls simultaneously made faces. Setting aside everything else, as long as Xin Yun focused on his cultivation, even if he was lacking in other areas, the Thunderbolt alone would qualify him to challenge anyone.
Xin Yun’s words carried little conviction, but that was only to those two girls who knew him well. For Ke Zhan and Speedy Slash, they believed him and subtly regained some confidence. The proverb went, ’Early gains don’t count; it’s the later ones that collapse the bed.’ With enough effort in the future, it was possible to catch up or even surpass the past.
