Boom!

Lin Xun’s offensive was strong and domineering. He used the Hornless Ice Dragon Step as his entire body glowed, making him resemble a true demon god who could cause terrifying destruction with every movement.

It was an imposing presence that burned with battle intent, seeking to mercilessly crush all of his enemies with overwhelming force.

Although half of the black-dress girl’s face was covered by a silver mask, it was impossible to hide her surprised expression.

The West Infinity World was a vast land that encompassed thousands of provinces. It was home to many ancient sects and numerous dazzling and famous heaven prides.

Since she stepped into the cultivation world, the black-dress girl had seen all kinds of talented heaven prides and had fought against several amazing geniuses.

However, this was the first time she had encountered such a powerful Heaven Ascension expert. Moreover, he was so young and was probably a few years younger than herself.

It greatly surprised her. She never imagined that she would somehow stumble upon a ‘true dragon’ hidden in the Fire Spirit Province.

"If that’s all you have, you will be crying and begging for forgiveness today."

Opposite her, Lin Xun laughed, appearing very arrogant.

The black-dress girl inwardly gnashed her teeth in anger as sharp sword-like rays seemed to shoot out from her clear eyes. With a wave of her hand, she sent out a stream of holy symbols resembling some kind of mysterious sword-will that could disrupt space and slay yin and yang.

"Do you really think I can't suppress you?"

Her slender figure grew increasingly holy, and her hair gave off a crystal-like radiance as her vast aura became even more transcendent.

Boom!

As they collided, divine light erupted as fist-force and sword-will splattered everywhere, bathing the sky in blinding light.

At times, they resembled a divine dragon facing off against a great phoenix or a demon god exchanging blows with an immortal fairy, displaying terrifying power and techniques that far exceeded others from the same cultivation stage.

The black-dress girl's clothes fluttered around her, and her unblemished skin glowed, making her the very picture of an ethereal immortal. She clashed time and time against Lin Xun and was never pushed back no matter how strong he grew.

However, a slight annoyance had taken root in her heart. This was the first time in her life that someone was able to match blow for blow, making it impossible for her to take the upper hand.

The crumbling space around her expanded in unison with her growing power as she continued to block and neutralize Lin Xun’s attacks.

Boom!

Suddenly, the black-dress girl’s figure flashed as she made a sword-finger and traced out a mysterious sword mark. It collided with Lin Xun’s fist-force, creating a burst of blinding light that rapidly flooded the area with rampaging holy energy.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

To his surprise, Lin Xun was forced back. Soon after, his black eyes flashed as he attacked again with even more ferocity. The roar of a snow-white hornless ice dragon thundered across the area with each step he took, the raw power causing even the air to visibly ripple.

The black-dress girl's eyes narrowed, sensing a terrifying pressure.

She didn’t dare to hesitate for even a split second and immediately did a swaying motion with her hand as if swirling a bottle. Holy sword-will instantly appeared, displaying unparalleled murderous intent.

The air wailed as a dreadful aura rapidly flooded the surroundings, causing the watching cultivators on the ground to shiver as if they had been suddenly transported to an ice cave.

The holy sword-will was far too horrifying. Although it was only three inches long, the sensation of peerless sharpness it gave off seemed capable of piercing time itself and destroying all living things.

"I can’t believe he forced the Young Miss to use the Tri-Life Sword Seal!” The old woman in green had lost her composure as a horrifying light shone in her eyes.

The Tri-Life Sword Seal was a supreme secret art that could cut the karma of the past, present, and future. It was the essence of past, present, and future condensed into a single seal that could defy even the universe itself!

It was a true supreme art that had been passed down by ancient sages!

Lin Xun’s hair stood on end as an intense feeling of danger surged in his heart. His pupils shrank, realizing the terrifying power of the attack.

However, he did not retreat but instead moved forward. With a howl, his aura soared to a new peak as a sensation of perfection pulsed from every fiber of his being.

Boom!

His fist rocketed forward.

The fist-force seemed to pierce time itself, rippling with a grand aura of destruction that seemed capable of shaking the barrier between reality and fantasy.

It was simply breathtaking!

The watching cultivators were briefly lulled into an illusion of being unable to breathe as if they were witnessing a demon god piercing the sky with a punch and shattering the shackles of reality.

Enlightenment!

The instant he released the punch, Lin Xun's heart became calm and clear like never before. The many secrets of the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art flooded his heart and ultimately condensed into one, becoming the punch he had thrown.

It was the Heavenshaking Punch!

The watching cultivators seemed to fall into a trance as they watched an almighty figure suddenly appear in the sky, standing atop the highest clouds as a terrifyingly powerful aura surged out from its seemingly metal-forged body.

It was as if a god from legend had risen to his feet and punched at the sky.

Boom!

The Tri-Life Sword Seal and Heavenshaking Punch collided with an earth-shaking boom. Countless alarming cracks spread in the sky like a spiderweb as if it was about to shatter.

That entire portion of the sky seemed to be caving in, shaking wildly as if it was about to fall.

The sound alone left the watching cultivators’ heads buzzing and nearly about to cough blood and faint due to the discomfort.

Some of the weaker experts could not help but squat down as cold sweat drenched their bodies.

This was even with the light screen created by the old woman. Without it, the aftershocks from the battle would have absolutely wrought unimaginable destruction.

The collision was just that horrifying and caused the sky to become akin to a shattered mirror that was about to fall apart.

In the sky, the black-dress girl was forced several steps backward. Her long black hair had become slightly messy. Although her full expression was still hidden by the mask, it could be seen from her eyes that she was very shocked.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun had not been pushed back but instead swayed unsteadily several times as a red flush appeared on his face before instantly disappearing.

Despite also being surprised by the black-dress girl’s power, he was more delighted than shocked.

He had finally mastered the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions Art!

Moreover, it was insanely powerful!

When all nine moves were mastered to perfection, they could be superimposed and fused into a single punch that could produce unimaginably terrifying power.

It was merely a punch, but when fully mastered, the user would be able to display its power at will even without executing the forms.

Lin Xun was certain that even a Cyclic Derivation expert would have failed to withstand the overwhelming might of his earlier punch.

However, the black-dress girl had blocked it. It made Lin Xun increasingly aware of how extraordinary she was. She was definitely a peerless individual with an astonishing background.

"Many thanks. Without you, I would never have achieved such a breakthrough in my martial dao so quickly.” Lin Xun displayed a wide grin.

The black-dress girl was taken aback. A horrifying light surged in her eyes as she gritted her teeth and said, “You were using me as a training partner?"

Lin Xun was stunned. "Isn't that the purpose of sparring?"

The black-dress girl barely had any reaction on the surface and appeared to be very composed, but she was nearly about to cough blood inside. Such a serious battle is being described by him as a training spar? How hateful.

"Oh, do you want to continue then?"

The black-dress girl was enraged. She still had trump cards she hadn’t used due to certain concerns, but she no longer cared now and only wished to give this abominable bastard a painful beating.

Lin Xun casually answered, "Nah, the commotion today has already grown too big, and I don’t want to be treated as a monster by others. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future for us to continue."

After all, he had no grudge with the black-dress girl. Moreover, the battle had made him realize that her foundations were not the least bit inferior to his own which made him somewhat sympathize with her.

However, the black-dress girl refused and frostily said, "I said earlier that I’ll first have to agree even if you wish to admit defeat!"

Lin Xun smiled and said, "You’re wearing a mask because you must be worried about revealing your identity, right? Many people in the Flame Capital are currently watching us. If we continue the duel, you’ll be sure to reveal more clues about your identity and someone might eventually figure it out. Is that worth it to you?"

This stunned the black-dress girl and she quickly calmed herself, causing her aura to become quiet. Lin Xun had struck the nail on the head.

In fact, she was very certain that the moment her identity was exposed, those old fellows in the sect would immediately rush over and ‘invite’ her back.

"See, it’s no longer appropriate to continue the fight. This is the best outcome. Goodbye."

Lin Xun grinned before he turned around to leave.

However, this only triggered the black-dress girl. His smug look was just far too obnoxious.

"Trying to leave? Stay there!"

The more she thought about it the more unwilling she was to let it go. She stared at Lin Xun’s back for a long time before ultimately gritting her teeth and reaching out to grab his shoulder.

Eh?

Lin Xun was taken aback. He had not expected that black-dress girl would refuse to relent.

By this juncture, he had already lost the initiative and could not turn around to counterattack. However, he was no pushover and instinctively executed the Bixi Collision in response, causing his back to rise like a dragon.

The black-dress girl immediately realized that a powerful attack was coming and abruptly twisted her body in an attempt to use another move to capture Lin Xun.

However, although she reacted quickly, she was unaware of the swiftness and bizarreness of the Bixi Collision, which was an unorthodox technique using the back to attack. Caught off guard by its speed, all she could feel was a strong force ruthlessly slam into her plump, full-moon-like buttocks the moment she twisted...

In that instant, the black-dress girl felt as if she had been struck by lightning, causing her mind to go blank as the beautiful face under the mask stiffened. That bastard hit my butt...

A surge of indescribably intense shame and indignation flooded her heart, causing her to fall into disarray. It made her so angry that she nearly shattered her teeth and felt as if she was about to go crazy.
