Chapter 774: True Phoenix Holy Daughter (Four Updates)
As the dust settled.
Fang Yu's figure was still nowhere to be seen.
Ye Wenjun clenched her silver teeth.
Her gaze became even more resolute and steadfast.
"Sword-saving Sword Dance! Ninth Layer Skill!"
"Sword-saving Sword Dance! Ninth Layer Ensemble!"
She had thrown caution to the wind.
She had seen Fang Yu use this multilayered combat skill many times before.
But every time, she also wanted to learn it.
The difficulty of this combat skill was very high.
Ye Wenjun had secretly practiced it in the backyard when Fang Yu wasn't paying attention.
But it always ended in failure.
Her personality was such that she disliked asking others for help.
And so, Ye Wenjun would practice swordplay alone in the backyard, self-studying any combat skill she could find.
Among all the combat skills.
It was this multilayered ensemble combat skill that she had always wanted to master.
Now...
Faced with a formidable enemy, she could no longer care about the consequences.
Whether she succeeded or failed, she had to execute this move.
What was even more astonishing.
She not only unleashed the Ninth Layer Ensemble but also superimposed the Ninth Layer Skill!
This was equal to eighty-onefold!
Defying the heavens, Sword Lights dense with sword shadows, filled the sky.
Ye Renyu couldn't help but exclaim.
"Truly a cultivation genius! A rare cultivation prodigy, seen only once in ten thousand years!"
He realized the might of this sword strike.
He dared not take it lightly, unleashing all his Inner Essence—
"You are the first to force me to defend with all my might!"
Ye Renyu's hands reached for the heavens!
The energy within his body converged together.
An armor made of condensed Inner Essence flickered in and out of sight.
"Armor that Shields the Sky and Obscures the Sun!"
The fiery red armor finally appeared.
It blazed like flames, burning continuously.
"In this world, only those above the Saint level can condense Inner Essence into armor. But... only those at the True Realm of the Saint level can manifest the armor physically. That's also why the True Realm is far stronger than the Constant Sand Level!"
As he spoke.
All of Ye Wenjun's offensive moves fell upon Ye Renyu's armor.
Boom!
Beams of light, all superimposed, fell upon the same spot.
The combined might of these two moves was even stronger than what Fang Yu had previously executed.
Wind, air, dust, and sand.
Everything was obscured by this move.
Chen Daotian watched Ye Wenjun with a surprised expression...
Filled with admiration and awe...
"Sister-in-law..."
"Who would have thought, sister-in-law is so strong! Why is she so powerful when compared to other Constant Sand Level experts? Could it be that the path I'm cultivating is all false?" Chen Daotian muttered to himself.
Dust swirled into the air.
Darkening the sky.
The view completely blocked. Nothing could be seen.
After a long while.
The dust gradually dissipated.
Everything returned to calm.
Chen Daotian waved away the dust in front of his eyes, first checking the location where Fang Yu had been. It was still a ruin, with no sign of activity. He couldn't help but worry—could something have really happened to Brother Yu?
However, with Brother Yu's strength, it should not have come to this today.
What went wrong?
Chen Daotian was utterly perplexed.
Chen Daotian's gaze shifted to Ye Wenjun.
Arrayed in white, with the Water Cold Sword in hand, she stood like a celestial being, quiet as a maiden.
A breeze ruffled her black hair.
This made Chen Daotian envious and resentful!
Such a woman should exist only in the heavens, seldom heard of in the human world!
At that moment.
Chen Daotian saw, right in front of him—
Ye Renyu, half-submerged in the mud.
The concrete floor beneath him had long been shattered beyond recognition.
Ye Xianggao, who was not far behind, was shocked to see his companion.
He knew full well the strength of Ye Renyu; to be beaten like this by a cultivator a rank lower than himself was indeed rare.
"Ye Renyu, don't tell me you've kicked the bucket?" Ye Xianggao joked with a laugh.
"Cough cough cough..."
Ye Renyu suddenly burst into severe coughing, and after seeing everything clearly, he cursed while clutching his painful chest, "Damn it, I'm not the one who's dead. I didn't expect this girl to be so powerful! It is no wonder the Phoenix Ancient Jade acknowledged her as its master! Truly remarkable!"
Thump!
Ye Renyu slapped the ground with his palm.
His entire body sprang up from the ground.
Without a scratch!
This...
Chen Daotian's face was filled with surprise.
To be unharmed after all that, is this damn guy more monstrous than monsters? Is a Saint of the True Realm really that strong?
Turning to look at Ye Wenjun.
A trace of doubt and surprise finally emerged on her pretty face.
This Nine Layer and Ninth Layer Skill were already her strongest moves. If even this couldn't defeat her opponent, then she truly had no other options.
Ye Renyu laughed and said, "Little girl, I didn't expect you to force me to use my armor. Such strength and talent, truly one in ten thousand years. I can give you another opportunity. As long as you agree to join our clan, I can spare you from death today!"
Ye Xianggao also spoke, "Yes, such talent is indeed rare and should be recruited. Little girl, to be able to join our clan is something many people desperately wish for. Our clan is an ancient and powerful family, with profound heritage and a multitude of strong members. We two are only considered middle-class in the clan. As long as you join our clan, you will have access to endless cultivation materials, Elixir Pills, and countless Heavenly Rank Combat Techniques!"
If this were any ordinary cultivator.
Such generous terms would have long swayed them.
But for Ye Wenjun.
What she sought was hardly these things.
Her gaze remained indifferent, uncaring, and she replied coldly, "No need!"
"Hmm?"
"We haven't decided a winner yet!"
Upon hearing this.
Ye Renyu shook his head and said, "Truly stubborn! If not an ally, then an enemy! Such a talent, how could I possibly let you go back to the mountains. Today, you have no chance of survival!"
During the conversation.
Ye Renyu made a clapping motion.
As he charged, Ye Renyu said, "Ye Xianggao, don't hold back... The True Lord said to make it quick. If we can bring back the Phoenix Ancient Jade today, it will be a fortunate event for our clan. We will both have made a great contribution!"
"Alright! Here I come!"
In the air.
Ye Renyu and Ye Xianggao struck at the same time.
Seeing this scene.
Chen Daotian was not one to fear death.
"Two against one? How shameless! Count me in!"
Ye Wenjun and Chen Daotian charged forward.
A fierce battle erupted once again.
Boom!
Palms collided.
As expected—
Ye Wenjun and Chen Daotian were both sent flying!
Chen Daotian was thrown further.
Ye Wenjun landed on the ground, stubbornly stood her ground, and swung her sword once more.
Ye Renyu sneered, "Ignorant of death!"
He suddenly swung his palms.
It was as if something else appeared in his hands.
"Magic Artifact?" Ye Wenjun frowned.
"Knowing it's a Magic Artifact is already too late!"
A streak of light flew at her!
A red streak of light!
Ye Wenjun raised her sword, blocking it in front of her.
Clang!
Her energy and blood surged.
Ye Wenjun felt the crisis, a crisis that could end her life.
"Let's see how many times you can block this!" Ye Renyu swung the Magic Artifact in his hands again!
A whooshing sound!
The streak of light came flying!
Ye Wenjun, enduring the pain, murmured softly, "Phoenix Ancient Jade... help me!"
As if hearing her call.
A fiery red Phoenix suddenly appeared on her chest, spread its wings, and stood before her!
Boom!
Sparks flew in all directions!
Ye Renyu and Ye Xianggao were both stunned, exclaiming in disbelief, "The True Phoenix Holy Daughter!"
