566: Chapter 566 Lin Ying's stark contrast: defeat!

And indeed, it was just as Yan Xiao had guessed.

This Lin Ying truly was the most formidable among the three!

The younger generation present might not know much about her.

But veterans among the proud geniuses, like Luo Si and Tu Liangtian, understood her very well.

Among the older generation of proud geniuses, Lin Ying might not rank among the absolute top few, but she was definitely a name on the list!

Don't be fooled by her petite, cute appearance, or even her usually shy and gentle personality.

But once she enters combat mode, she transforms into a female god of slaughter wielding a giant axe!!

Others might not dare say, but Luo Si and Tu Liangtian themselves admitted they would have a hard time dealing with this Lin Ying.

Shifting focus back to the scene.

As Yan Xiao entered the Star Domain Arena.

All attention in the venue, at this moment, converged on the arena.

"Senior Sister Lin Ying, I look forward to your guidance."

Upon reaching the arena, Yan Xiao immediately cupped his fists towards Lin Ying, greeting her with great respect.

Lin Ying's reaction was somewhat introverted; she just gave Yan Xiao a somewhat stiff smile and a nod, speaking softly,

"Mhm."

This scene truly made the spectators outside feel both amused and exasperated.

This Senior Sister Lin Ying seemed quite socially anxious, and from every angle, she appeared gentle and lovely, not at all like someone who fights with an axe.

Not only did the outside spectators think so, but Yan Xiao at this moment felt the same.

However, he quickly dismissed this thought. From the looks he had seen in Luo Si and Tu Liangtian's eyes earlier, this Senior Sister Lin Ying was absolutely formidable!

Immediately after.

After the brief exchange of greetings.

Yan Xiao didn't hesitate in the slightest, instantly elevating his own condition to its peak.

His aura erupted, terrifying divine flames blazing to life around his body. The cultivation fluctuations of a Seventh Stage Domain Lord exploded forth, and seven strands of flowing light materialized around him with a boom, making him resemble an ancient god of fire!!

Such power inevitably caused the gathered proud geniuses outside to narrow their pupils in shock, their hearts roiling with huge waves.

They hadn't expected Yan Xiao to truly have comprehended the seventh strand of Law Power, just as the rumors said!

The strength of a Seventh Stage Domain Lord, amplified by seven strands of law power.

For ninety-nine percent of them, this was an existence they could not possibly resist!

"This guy's strength is quite good!"

"Indeed. If he had chosen me, it might have been interesting. Pity he chose Lin Ying."

At the front of the crowd, Luo Si and Tu Liangtian couldn't help but feel some surprise looking at Yan Xiao's display, their faces revealing appreciation.

With Yan Xiao's current combat power, he could probably rival some of the slightly lower-ranked veterans among the older generation of proud geniuses.

Although those older-generation geniuses generally had higher cultivation realms than Yan Xiao, the quantity and quality of their Law Power might not necessarily surpass his.

And soon.

As Yan Xiao raised his condition.

Lin Ying also began.

In the void before Lin Ying, a terrifying giant axe, even taller than her, slowly materialized.

The axe was primarily white, but it was covered with crimson Dao patterns that exuded a bloody scent.

The moment Lin Ying reached out and grasped the giant axe.

The previously gentle and socially anxious Lin Ying underwent a drastic change in aura. She suddenly became sharp and fierce, her eyes even turning somewhat sinister and violent. The terrifying blood and qi energy around her instantly enveloped the entire arena, as if she had transformed into a bloodthirsty demon god!!

This scene of extreme contrast.

undoubtedly made Yan Xiao on the arena and the spectators outside feel their hearts pound wildly.

And immediately after.

Lin Ying's aura suddenly surged, revealing the peak cultivation of the Ninth Stage Peak Domain Lord. Eight terrifying strands of flowing light also slowly appeared around her.

That's right.

This Lin Ying before them was actually a terrifying existence possessing eight strands of Law Power!

"What?!"

"Hiss!"

"So strong!"

...

Outside the arena, the gathered younger generation all wore expressions of shock and horror, unable to hold back bursts of exclamations.

This Lin Ying looked petite and harmless, who would have thought her strength was actually this terrifying?!

Is this the standard of the Pure Land Zone?!

Even Li Fan was somewhat taken aback at this moment.

These veterans among the proud geniuses hadn't wasted their time in the Pure Land Zone; their strength was indeed formidable!

And looking at it now.

Yan Xiao truly had no chance of victory whatsoever.

Whether in realm or Law Power, he was steadily outmatched by this Lin Ying.

"Indeed, she's strong!"

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Lin Ying, Yan Xiao's expression turned grave, and he couldn't help but tense up inside.

It seemed he really might have chosen the strongest among the three.

But since the choice was made, even knowing he couldn't win, he still had to fight!

Looking on the bright side.

For him, this was the best opportunity to test the limits of his current combat power!

"Senior Sister Lin Ying, I apologize for the offense!"

With a fierce shout.

Yan Xiao activated a secret technique, transforming into a fiery-red streak of light as he launched the first attack!

Lin Ying didn't respond, merely gripping her giant axe and moving to meet Yan Xiao.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Accompanied by a series of terrifying explosive sounds.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged dozens of rounds.

The intensely impactful visual spectacle had the spectators outside thoroughly exhilarated.

Especially Lin Ying.

Although she wielded a giant axe, her movements in battle were not the least bit clumsy; instead, they were extremely agile and graceful.

While being agile and graceful, she also maintained the fierce and domineering style characteristic of cultivators following the Great Dao of the Axe. Every swing of her axe was immensely powerful and heavy, yet delivered with the ferocity of a violent storm, making onlookers' hair stand on end!

So, while it appeared to be a duel between two, in reality, Yan Xiao was being completely suppressed by Lin Ying throughout.

Yan Xiao's fire arts were indeed terrifying, but against Lin Ying's relentless axe swings, he seemed utterly passive!

Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye could tell.

that even this situation was the result of Lin Ying holding back.

Lin Ying didn't use any secret techniques the entire time, simply dodging, pressuring, and cleaving, all while remaining completely at ease.

If Lin Ying were to fight seriously, forget dozens of rounds.

Yan Xiao probably wouldn't last even three!

And as the person involved, Yan Xiao was also the one who could feel this most keenly.

Lin Ying was indeed going easy on him, and it was far too obvious.

The gap between him and Lin Ying was simply too vast, much larger than he had imagined.

Nevertheless, he didn't want to give up just like that, so he continued to unleash secret techniques, trying to force Lin Ying to use greater power.

But his hopes were clearly in vain.

After the duel reached over a hundred rounds, he was unfortunately caught off guard by Lin Ying. A blow from the flat of her axe slammed him fiercely onto the arena floor, creating an extremely terrifying crater and leaving him incapable of fighting!

This was just a spar after all.

In a real battle, if Lin Ying had used the blade, Yan Xiao would already be dead.

Thus.

This spar ended without the slightest surprise, concluding with Yan Xiao's crushing defeat.
