Her late-stage Huayuan realm cultivation completely erupted due to her loss of emotional control.
Zi Linling remained composed, showing not a trace of fear.
If there was any change, it was that the corner of her robe fluttered in the strong wind.
She slowly stood up, her voice laced with contempt, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Xie Lianhua's killing intent condensed into a tangible form.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and her voice, cold as ice, declared, "My sister was indeed killed by you!"
Zi Linling said coldly, "Not entirely stupid! If you want to snatch my things, you must be prepared to pay the price!"
The coldness in her voice seeped into the bone marrow.
Even Xie Lianhua, consumed by rage, gained a sliver of clarity.
Xie Lianhua exclaimed in surprise, "You mean, that thing is in your hands?"
Zi Linling couldn't be bothered to answer. She had no obligation to enlighten her enemy.
But in Xie Lianhua's eyes, not answering was tantamount to an admission.
"Hahaha..."
Xie Lianhua laughed hysterically, sending shivers down the spines of everyone in the training ground.
When she finally stopped laughing, she gritted her teeth and said, "Bitch, take your life!"
If she killed Zi Linling, not only would she avenge her sister, but she would also obtain a divine beast. What was there to hesitate about?
Before her words had even finished, her technique was already in motion.
"Muling Bao!"
As Xie Lianhua roared, the wood spiritual energy in the air began to riot.
Centering on Xie Lianhua, they rapidly formed a spiritual energy sphere.
This spiritual energy sphere was vastly different from an ordinary one.
A normal spiritual energy sphere merely compressed the distance between spiritual energy elements, utilizing the collision force between them to generate explosive energy.
This spiritual energy sphere, however, not only compressed the distance between spiritual energy elements but also forced them to rotate in a specific direction.
In other words, a vortex had already formed at the center of this spiritual energy sphere.
And this vortex continuously drew in surrounding wood spiritual energy, accelerating its rotation.
Once such a spiritual energy sphere exploded, the resulting force would multiply.
As the spiritual energy sphere grew larger, storms immediately began to whip up within the training ground.
"Heavens! What is this?"
"Heaven-tier High-grade Spiritual Art! It's actually a Heaven-tier High-grade Spiritual Art!"
"Damn it, Baihua Palace is indeed a great power with hundreds of years of heritage. They actually possess a Heaven-tier High-grade Spiritual Art!"
...
The onlookers truly lived up to their name.
Even at this moment, they couldn't refrain from expressing their astonishment.
A Heaven-tier High-grade Spiritual Art, was it?
Unfortunately, it was useless to me.
Zi Linling's lips curled into a smile. She didn't use any spiritual skills or Word Spirit power, instead charging forward bare-handed.
Of course, she wasn't acting rashly. It was only by feeling it up close that she could comprehend its patterns and intricacies.
And then...
Naturally, she would learn it.
As her Sea of Consciousness and Mansion of Knowledge continued to expand, her learning speed increased exponentially.
This was evident not only in her photographic memory but also in her extraordinary comprehension.
Just like the "Water Dragon's Roar" that Duan Qing had used before, she had learned it with just a touch.
Of course, for those more common spiritual arts, she could learn them perfectly just by glancing at them.
"Hmph! Seeking death!" Su Dan Novel Network
Xie Lianhua sneered.
Although "Muling Bao" was a Heaven-tier High-grade Spiritual Art, its power was infinitely close to a Yellow-tier Low-grade Spiritual Skill.
Zi Linling ignored her, her footwork constantly shifting.
Under the effect of the Phantom Dragon Step, she carefully sensed the changes in the wood spiritual energy elements within "Muling Bao."
So that's how it is!
Two breaths later, her expression relaxed, and her eyes were filled with a knowing smile.
Then, her footwork shifted again, and she quickly distanced herself from Xie Lianhua.
"Disperse!"
Word Spirit power activated, and her words became reality!
Spiritual energy was, in essence, a manifestation of the laws of life.
And wood spiritual energy was the embodiment of life force.
Therefore, Word Spirit power, born from the laws of life, had an even more pronounced restraining effect on wood spiritual energy.
Xie Lianhua watched with triumphant glee as Zi Linling was engulfed by "Muling Bao," waiting for the moment she would be torn to shreds by the energy within.
However, she suddenly noticed that the rapidly growing "Muling Bao" paused slightly, and then began to shrink at a visible rate.
What's happening?
How could this be?
Xie Lianhua found it hard to believe.
But she was, after all, the head of a sect and quickly recovered.
"No!"
She let out a great cry, her hands moving in rapid succession, as if forming some sort of hand seal.
But before her hand seal could be completed, the colossal spiritual energy sphere had completely dissipated.
The wood spiritual energy that had been forcefully drawn out returned to the air.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Furious, she began to communicate with the wood spiritual energy elements again.
But this time, the wood spiritual energy elements simply ignored her.
Why?
Why?
No matter how hard she racked her brain, she couldn't understand. The surrounding wood spiritual energy elements had been imprinted with the mark of the laws of life.
In other words, any wood spiritual energy element that she had drawn upon could not be manipulated by anyone but Zi Linling for a short period.
Of course, there was one exception: the Underworld King Ye Lingyuan.
For Xie Lianhua to mobilize them, she would have to comprehend laws of the same level as the laws of life, that is, High-level Laws.
But could she comprehend them?
Of course not! And she was out of time.
Because Zi Linling's voice had already reached her.
"Old hag, to thank you for your diligent performance, I've decided to give you a reward."
A reward?
What reward?
Xie Lianhua's heart sank. She didn't believe Zi Linling would truly give her a reward.
"The reward is... Mu, Ling, Bao!"
As Zi Linling's words fell, the wood spiritual energy elements that had ignored Xie Lianhua in the air instantly sprang into action.
They converged before Zi Linling at a speed faster than before, vying with each other.
Yes! They were vying with each other, lest they fall behind.
A massive wood spiritual energy sphere rapidly formed, faster than when Xie Lianhua had used it.
Xie Lianhua was utterly shocked.
Impossible!
How could this be possible?
How could this be happening?
Of course, unless one was in her position, one could not perceive this bizarre phenomenon.
Zi Linling smiled faintly and softly uttered, "Go!"
The colossal spiritual energy sphere directly slammed into Xie Lianhua without a moment's hesitation.
"Not good!"
Xie Lianhua's internal alarm bells rang furiously.
She vaguely sensed that this spiritual energy sphere was far more dangerous than hers.
Of course, her perception was not wrong.
After all, her "Muling Bao" was pure spiritual energy, while Zi Linling's contained a trace of law power.
Although this law power wasn't intentionally added by Zi Linling, but was a remnant from breaking her attack earlier.
Even so, they were not on the same level.
Xie Lianhua didn't hesitate. With a thought, the king-grade sword she had previously given to Duan Qing, the Flower Feather Sword, flew into her hand.
