Too many words are useless, only battle matters.

Ye Qingzhou thrust out his sword, a cold glint flickering in the darkness.

Then, a splendid sword light suddenly blossomed, completely enshrouding Li Yanxin.

High-Tier Martial Technique, Celestial Net Sword!

The intertwined Sword Qi formed a celestial net, suddenly covering the enemy, severing vitality, annihilating form.

Li Yanxin's body was torn apart in an instant, then dissipated into nothingness.

"Huh? Afterimage?"

Ye Qingzhou furrowed his brow, his Cicada Awakening had not detected when the enemy slipped out of the encirclement of the sword net.

Moreover, the Sword Intent he left on Li Yanxin now seemed vague and indistinct, hard to pinpoint her location.

"Big brother, are you looking for me?"

A little girl's voice came from behind, she held up her skirt, skipping and jumping, her face still carrying an innocent smile.

Only six corpse puppets stood beside her, grimacing, sinister and eerie.

Such a terrifying scene truly makes one's spine chill, a coldness rushing straight to the brain.

Ye Qingzhou, however, showed not a hint of panic, calmly analyzing in his heart: "I see, you had long been able to eliminate the Sword Intent I left on you, so you intentionally lured me down here."

"That's right."

The little girl smiled charmingly, her voice ethereal, like the sound of heaven: "A genius who steps into the Divine Speed Realm, if in an open space, even I would find it hard to easily capture you."

Though the voice was childish, Ye Qingzhou heard a sense of age-old vicissitudes in the little girl's tone: "Who exactly are you?"

"Me?"

The little girl stood on tiptoe, elegantly twirling once, then her face blossomed with a smile: "Aren't I Li Yanxin? Or, in your human race's terms, I should be considered her second personality now?"

"Our human race?"

"Oops, slipped up."

The little girl's fair fingers lightly covered her black lips, her eyes forming crescent moons: "Oh well, after all, the dead are the best at keeping secrets."

Swoosh~

As soon as the words fell, the sound of breaking through the air already attacked.

Sword light flowed around Ye Qingzhou, blocking the attacks coming from all directions, metal clashing resounded in the darkness as six corpse puppets wielded dual blades, launching a fierce encirclement assault on Ye Qingzhou.

Their small stature instead became an advantage for the corpse puppets, enabling them to utilize the height difference to launch surprise attacks.

Ye Qingzhou had no intention of dragging this out, immediately launching a powerful Mountain Technique ground Martial Technique.

He stood his ground with both feet, raised the Dragon Abyss Sword with both hands, seemingly transforming into a towering mountain reaching the heavens, supporting the firmament with his upper body, and treading the earth with his feet.

Then came the crumbling of the Celestial Pillar, an attack like toppling mountains and overturning seas.

Cliff!

The power of one sword stirred the Earth Dragon to turn over, a powerful shockwave swept over, tearing the six corpse puppets before Ye Qingzhou into pieces with its violent force.

Sword Qi cleaved the ground, its force unabated, charging straight at Li Yanxin.

She gently lifted her skirt hem, elegantly leapt, evaded Ye Qingzhou's attack again, giggling: "Oh dear, how dangerous, almost got hit."

A strange feeling surged in Ye Qingzhou's heart, but he shrugged it off, continuing to swing his sword composedly.

Soaring Step!

Divine Speed!

This sword was as fast as lightning, the blade sliced through the invisible wind, surpassing the speed of sound, yet was still easily avoided by the opponent.

"Huh?"

A strange feeling surged again in Ye Qingzhou's heart: "Is her speed faster than mine?"

Since stepping into the Divine Speed Domain, supersonic slashes had never failed, it was Ye Qingzhou's first time encountering an opponent faster than himself.

But then Ye Qingzhou noticed something odd, which was that the opponent's speed seemed abnormal.

"Her speed is normal when attacking, but every time I initiate an attack, her speed suddenly increases severalfold... this is not normal!"

Wind and Thunder Combined Technique!

Two forces combined, Mid-Tier Martial Technique, Wind Chasing Lightning!

Divine Speed!

Ye Qingzhou walked on the wind, electric arcs flowed on the blade, his figure unbelievably fast, almost twice the speed of sound.

Yet this sword still swung into empty air, easily dodged by Li Yanxin.

But while Li Yanxin could avoid the sharp blade, she couldn't evade the electric arc, her body falling into a paralyzed state.

"You're courting death!"

Attacked, the little girl suddenly fumed with rage, clawing toward Ye Qingzhou.

Her nails seemed to tear through space, suddenly turning black, black tides surging between her fingers, ghostly Qi eerie, as if myriad vengeful souls were howling mournfully.

Seeing the situation turn grim, Ye Qingzhou immediately assumed the Er-Lang Lifts Mountain stance, bracing for impact.

Standing Form!

Clang~

The slender fingers clawed onto the Dragon Abyss Sword, emitting a sound like metal striking jade.

Ye Qingzhou's shoulder sank, feeling as if a mountain weighed down on him.

It's hard to imagine, though the little girl appeared small, her body could explode with such formidable brute force, this was no longer a power simply derived from bloodline modification.

The opponent's mastery in technique seemed as if tempered by a thousand hammers and hundred refinements, definitely not something a second personality could possess.

Experience and skill have never been inherent, but require time to accumulate and hone.

The little girl withdrew upon an unsuccessful strike, evading Ye Qingzhou's subsequent chain of attacks, her combat experience no less than Ye Qingzhou's cunning self.

Ye Qingzhou squinted, his gaze narrowing: "As expected, it's not you being faster than me, but me being slower than you."

After the Wind Chasing Lightning strike, Ye Qingzhou already understood the irregularity, the opponent's speed wasn't actually as fast as his Divine Speed.

The reason why Li Yanxin could effortlessly evade the sword techniques targeting her each time was because Ye Qingzhou's five senses and sixth sense were interfered with upon nearing her, making him unaware even when his speed slowed.

However, Li Yanxin's interference couldn't affect the Sword Qi already released, thus she was hit by the remnant electric arc.

At this moment, the little girl also retracted her prior frivolity and playful attitude, her gaze serene like an ancient well: "Unthinkable, a millennium later in the human race, someone like you with such outstanding talent could emerge. I suddenly feel a bit reluctant to kill you, as long as you choose to submit."

"If I were willing to bow down to those in power, why would I practice martial arts and swordsmanship?"

Ye Qingzhou stood with his sword, unwavering in his mind: "I've sensed an ancient presence from you, who exactly are you?"

Whether it was the Flawless Sword Heart honed by the Heart Sword Secret Technique, or the Emperor's Sword Longyuan in his hand, both were madly warning him to immediately distance himself from the enemy ahead.

"I am the Winged Dragon."

Li Yanxin's originally naive and ethereal voice, now layered and indistinguishable between male and female, resounded like a thunderclap in Ye Qingzhou's ears.

And Ye Qingzhou now also understood why the Dongji Kingdom strictly prohibited bloodline modification experiments.

Yuan Hao, that fool, had no idea what kind of monster he had created through modification.
