Chapter 1483: Battle Between Master and Disciple
These fists were not afterimages created from the speed of her attack.
Instead, there really were over a hundred fists!
“Shadow Fist Manifestation?” An Lin’s expression s.h.i.+fted as he discovered that all of these fists were a product of Ye Ling’s Shadow Manifestation Technique! Even though they were all shadows, all of the fists were imbued with astonis.h.i.+ng power, capable of toppling mountains and parting oceans!
A golden lotus lit up on An Lin’s forehead, and his hands were imbued with the vast power of the earth as they met the inky-black fists, leaving a series of golden afterimages in their wake!
Bam bam bam…
One black fist after another was crushed by An Lin’s hands.
However, there was still one that managed to sneak through and crashed heavily into his chest with an overwhelming force.
An Lin was knocked back half a step as a result.
Ye Ling was just about to give chase when boundless golden light erupted forth before her, and the terrifying power of the earth hurtled toward her like a divine mountain!
Mountain Quaking Fist!
The fist was too fast, and it encompa.s.sed too large of an area for her to be able to evade! She could only unleash a defensive spell technique at the last moment, creating a black crystal that protected her body like half an eggsh.e.l.l.
Boom!
An earth-shattering boom erupted.
The golden fist crashed into the black crystal barrier before quickly shattering it. The fist continued onward with an unstoppable force and bulldozed into Ye Ling’s body, upon which she let loose a pained cry amid the sound of bones being broken as she flew back for several hundred meters.
Cries of surprise erupted outside of the drill ground.
This was the first time they had witnessed their sect leader unleash a spell technique. It was an extremely simple punch, but it was imbued with terrifying speed and power to knock away Ye Ling with absolute brutality.
However, Ye Ling was no slouch either, and after being knocked flying, her body disappeared again in mid-air.
In the next instant, Ye Ling appeared before An Lin. She converged her five fingers into a point, around which lightning revolved, and she thrust her hand toward An Lin’s face at lightning speed.
Flash Thrust!
An Lin stepped to the side and evaded Ye Ling’s lethal strike.
However, it was also at this moment that Ye Ling’s torrential barrage of attacks truly commenced.
Extremely terrifying power suddenly erupted forth from her seemingly fragile body, and she danced like an ethereal black swan, transforming her entire body into lethal weapons of slaughter!
In that instant, An Lin saw countless attacks hurtling toward him, all of which were absolutely lethal.
Explosive fists! Sharp, scythe legs! Drill elbows! Lightning fingers…
An Lin kept all of these attacks at bay through the use of his Earth Lotus Supreme Skill.
Each time their body parts clashed, the s.p.a.ce around them would shatter and collapse. Terrifying shockwaves erupted forth, presenting a stern test to the barrier set up by Bai Ling, which incorporated Purple Star technology along with the sect protection formation.
The majority of the disciples were unable to even follow the speed of the two combatants now. They could only see two afterimages flas.h.i.+ng quickly across the drill ground, coming together in one violent clash after another.
Not only were the disciples completely lost, but even some of the pavilion lords and elders were also finding the battle quite difficult to follow.
Only the likes of Ca.s.sidy, Xu Xiaolan, and Xiao Hong could still clearly see what was going on during the battle.
The power and speed unleashed by Ye Ling were superior even to some Return to Void Stage mighty figures who had attained the power of the divine dao! An Lin was well and truly astonished upon making this discovery. He had fought countless powerful beings in the past, so he could naturally grasp the level of power Ye Ling was currently displaying.
Just the power she was demonstrating now would allow her to destroy noobs like Ao Meng!
Each and every one of her movements was extremely exquisite and refined, thus allowing her to unleash her power to its maximum extent. Her well-proportioned body was imbued with extremely formidable power and explosive force.
An Lin knew why Ye Ling was so powerful. She had already progressed to the Return to Void Stage at just over twenty years of age, displaying the most exemplary apt.i.tude among any other cultivators he had ever seen!
However, after that, she forced herself to remain at the Return to Void Initial Stage for over eighty years!
Even An Lin was unable to fathom just how strong her foundation was!
“Thousand Frost Lightning!” Ye Ling extended a palm flas.h.i.+ng with white lightning toward An Lin’s fist.
Boom!
Lightning exploded, wreaking havoc in a radius of over five kilometers.
A thick layer of ice and frost appeared on the earth around them as a result.
An Lin could feel the power of lightning tearing through his body in a frenzy while the power of extreme frost threatened to freeze his body solid at the same time.
He didn’t want to use any hacks against his disciple, so he didn’t unleash his Lightning Manipulation Technique to combat her attacks. However, the Divine Flames within his body explosively surged forth, instantly dispelling the power of extreme frost around him.
Ye Ling had only just unleashed her Thousand Frost Lightning when An Lin’s body suddenly lit up. Immediately afterward, scorching energy exploded forth like a volcanic eruption, instantly engulfing her entire body…
Boom!
This was an earth-shattering explosion!
The six Divine Flames exploded forth with the power to incinerate all things.
Scorching waves of flames obscured everyone’s line of sight.
Even the spectating disciples let loose cries of surprise and instinctively hurtled back in retreat in fear of being harmed by the shockwaves.
Thankfully, Bai Ling had already set up a Dao Integration Stage formation in advance, which prevented the power of shockwaves from escaping while also quickly absorbing the energy from the explosion.
“This Chaotic Cyclone Energy Absorption Barrier really is useful. The energy from An Lin and Ye Ling’s battle can be used to charge the Starfire Battles.h.i.+p…” Bai Ling smiled with elation.
That’s right! Not only could this formation protect all of the surrounding spectators, but it could also recycle their expended energy to create a free and clean energy source!
“Keep fighting… The more intense the battle, the better!” An eager smile appeared on Bai Ling’s face.
All of the disciples still had fear lingering in their hearts and were panting heavily.
The newbie disciples were completely dumbstruck. They had never seen a battle of this caliber before, and all of them were rooted to the spot. Divine Flames that engulfed heaven and earth crashed violently into the protective barrier. If there weren’t any barrier in place, their sect leader would have most likely razed the entire sect to the ground with that attack alone!
“Is Sister Ye Ling going to be ok?”
“Don’t worry, Sect Leader An Lin knows when to hold back!”
“You call this self-detonation holding back?”
“…”
All of the disciples looked at the drill ground with fearful and anxious expressions.
Cheng Yingxiong’s cheers had completely died down. Was the master trying to kill his f*cking disciple?! It looked like his date with Dong Zhen was going down the drain!
A small phoenix over a meter in length revolved around Xu Xiaolan, and it let loose a string of clear cries as it flapped its wings excitedly, as if it was cheering Ye Ling on.
Perhaps it was cheering Ye Ling on as both of them were suffering from physical abuse…
After all, cultivating, instructing disciples, bas.h.i.+ng Little Huang, partic.i.p.ating in the war, and waiting for An Lin was no joke.
It had been oppressed through physical abuse for decades.
The flames dissipated on the drill ground.
An Lin stood tall and proud at the center of the drill ground with his white robe flapping in the wind. His expression remained indifferent, and his seven Divine Flames revolved around him like flaming dragons, as if he were a mighty Fire G.o.d.
Ye Ling half-knelt on the ground before him with a few holes charred into her tight-fitting, black daoist robe, revealing patches of soft, bright red skin. Her long, flowing hair had also been curled, but it remarkably remained largely unscathed.
“Little Ling, you think you can afford to protect your hair in a battle against me? Are you looking down on your master?” An Lin harrumphed coldly.
“That’s not it…” Ye Ling pursed her lips with an aggrieved expression. “It’s just that…”
It’s just that if she didn’t protect her hair, it would have been burned to a crisp by his Divine Flames!
Ye Ling didn’t want her master to look down on her, but even more so, she didn’t want her master to see her bald!
Thus, she chose to protect her hair without any hesitation…
An Lin didn’t know what Ye Ling was thinking, and he took the initiative to charge toward her.
He had decided that he was going to teach his disciple a lesson!
