308: Chapter 308 Three Seconds

In the illusory Realm, Lin Yun transformed his greatsword into thirty-six small swords.

They hovered in the air, each occupying a position.

The Mirror Corridor Sword Formation formed instantly.

Luke released his Domain.

His Domain was of the Gold Element; golden light spread in all directions with him at the center.

Wherever the Domain reached, the ground turned gold, and the air was filled with the scent of metal.

Lin Yun also released his Domain.

The Space Domain.

An invisible force surged from his body, spreading in all directions.

The golden Domain was suppressed by the Space Domain.

It was compressed from over a hundred kilometers down to a few hundred meters.

Then, it was compressed further from a few hundred meters down to a few meters.

Finally, it clung to Luke's skin like a thin film.

Luke gritted his teeth and desperately tried to drive his Domain, but it was useless.

The Space Domain was too strong; his Gold Element Domain could not resist it at all.

The thirty-six small swords shuttled through the sword formation, and sword shadows attacked from all directions.

They became more numerous and denser.

Luke blocked left and right, his great axe whistling as he swung it, but there were too many sword shadows, and they were too fast; he couldn't block them.

A sword shadow broke through his defense and struck him.

His body trembled, and a flaw appeared in his defense.

More sword shadows poured in, striking him one after another, one after another.

Three seconds.

Luke's virtual body turned into points of light and dissipated in the illusory Realm.

Outside the illusory Realm, Luke opened his eyes.

His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Three seconds; he only lasted three seconds.

He looked at Lin Yun, who had also opened his eyes.

The two looked at each other; Lin Yun's gaze was very calm, without any ripples.

Luke's gaze shifted from disbelief to unwillingness, and from unwillingness to despair.

He had lost.

He had lost completely.

Lu Shan wanted to speak and comfort him, but she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

She looked at her brother's deathly pale face, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She knew her brother loved the Hua Caili, and had loved her for five hundred years.

He had fallen in love with her from the moment he first saw her in Lingyuan City.

For five hundred years, he hadn't loved anyone else, hadn't married anyone, and had just been waiting.

Waiting for the Hua Caili to return.

Waiting for the Hua Caili to look at him.

Waiting for the Hua Caili to give him a chance.

Now, the Hua Caili had returned.

But she had returned with her husband.

Qian Ye was still in shock.

Three seconds; a Tier 6 Perfection expert had been defeated in three seconds.

Someone at the same Realm who should have been evenly matched had been directly crushed.

Qian Ye looked at Lin Yun, her eyes filled with incredulity.

Lu Shan looked at Lin Yun, her eyes the same.

After a long while, Luke finally raised his head with difficulty, his gaze fixed firmly on Lin Yun.

His voice was hoarse, as if squeezed from the depths of his throat, dry and carrying a hint of wishful thinking:

"Just now... did you use a combat power amplification secret technique?"

Lin Yun shook his head calmly, his tone frank: "I did not."

"Did... not... actually did... not..."

Luke murmured this sentence repeatedly in a low voice, his face turning various shades of green and white.

He lowered his head and looked at his hands.

These hands had held an axe for a thousand years, killed countless enemies, and achieved countless battle merits.

He thought he was a Genius, thought he was the cream of the crop among his peers.

He thought that as long as the Hua Caili returned, he could prove himself and let her see his strength.

Just now, he had used an amplification secret technique, and his combat power had increased sixfold.

Yet the opponent hadn't used one at all.

Without using an amplification secret technique, just using one sword and one sword formation, he had defeated him in three seconds.

He had lost so thoroughly.

He felt like a clown.

Luke stood up and turned to leave.

He didn't look at anyone and didn't say a word.

His back looked very lonely, like a wounded beast hiding alone in a dark corner.

Lu Shan was worried and wanted to follow him.

Su Yingxue held her back: "He needs to be alone right now."

Lu Shan hesitated: "But..."

Su Yingxue explained: "If you go, he will only feel worse. Let him be by himself for a while."

Qian Ye also nodded: "Yingxue is right. Let him be alone."

Lu Shan watched her brother's back disappear at the end of the corridor, sighed, and did not follow.

Qian Ye turned her head to stare at Lin Yun, looking him up and down, clicking her tongue in wonder.

She circled around Lin Yun again and again, as if looking at a rare treasure.

"Space Domain, Space Element; where on earth did a monster like you pop out from?"

Qian Ye couldn't figure it out.

"How could a small place like the Qilin Kingdom produce a talent like you?"

Lin Yun smiled: "Just good luck."

Qian Ye rolled her eyes: "Why don't I have such good luck to comprehend it."

Afterwards, her hands itched.

She wanted to test the power of the Space Element.

She had spent hundreds of years killing the Yao Race on the border and had fought various opponents, but she had never fought a Martial Artist with the Space Element.

Those who comprehend the Space Element at Tier 6 are too rare; you can't find a few in the entire Lingyuan Empire.

Having encountered one today, if I don't try it, I'd be doing myself a disservice.

Lin Yun naturally agreed happily.

The two sat down.

They didn't synchronize armor and weapons, using only Domain and Combat Technique.

Qian Ye's Domain was of the Thunder Element.

Once the Thunder Element Domain was opened, purple lightning spread in all directions with her at the center.

The lightning illuminated the entire illusory Realm, and the roar of thunder was endless.

Her palm techniques also carried the Thunder Element; every palm strike was followed by lightning, with astonishing power.

Lin Yun went easy on her.

He didn't use much strength, letting her feel it properly.

He only released a small portion of his Space Domain's power, about one-tenth, which was evenly matched with Qian Ye's Thunder Element Domain.

The two traded blows in the illusory Realm, fighting intensely.

Qian Ye's palm techniques were fierce, and the lightning was violent.

Lin Yun's Movement Technique was strange, folding space.

The two fought for over ten minutes.

Qian Ye felt exhilarated; she hadn't fought this pleasantly in a long time.

When she was on the border, her opponents were the Yao Race; it was either you die or I live, and there were no such opportunities for sparring.

After returning to Lingyuan City, her friends were either busy, not as strong as her, or much stronger than her, so she couldn't find a suitable opponent.

Today, she had finally found one.

"Lin Yun, let me see the full power." Qian Ye said loudly.

Lin Yun exerted his power.

The Space Domain, power fully unleashed.

Qian Ye's Thunder Element Domain was suppressed.

The hundred-kilometer range Thunder Element Domain shrank rapidly under the squeezing of the Space Domain.

In an instant, it was tightly compressed, only able to cling to the area around her body, unable to extend outward at all.

With her Domain suppressed, Qian Ye's movements also became sluggish and slow.

She felt like a mountain was pressing down on her.

Her body became heavy, her movements became slow, and even breathing became difficult.

She gritted her teeth and released her amplification secret technique.

Sixfold combat power.

Purple lightning exploded from her body, pushing the Space Domain that was clinging to her body away slightly.

She was finally able to move freely.

She rushed towards Lin Yun, striking with her palms in succession, each palm carrying the Thunder Element with sixfold combat power.

Lin Yun played with her for another few minutes.

Then, with one sword, he defeated her.

Qian Ye's virtual body turned into points of light and dissipated in the illusory Realm.

Qian Ye opened her eyes and let out a long breath: "That was a satisfying fight. As expected of the Space Element, it's truly powerful."
