Chapter 576: Battle Against Zou Ying, Ascending to the Ninet

The ice shattered and flew everywhere.Before she could sheath her sword, five or six strange-shaped ice cones had already gathered above her head.She remained calm and composed, displaying the Tai Ch...[ ]

Yuan Zhen knew that staying here would only hold Lin Qi back, and since he had already lost the battle, there was no point in lingering. He worriedly glanced at Lin Qi, then turned and left.

After a single exchange, Zou Ying also realized that Lin Qi's true strength was no different from hers.

His face grew somber.

Lin Qi had only exchanged a few moves with her when she didn't notice the shadow behind Zou Ying growing larger and larger.

As the shadow grew larger, Zou Ying's strength, speed, and endurance were constantly increasing.

By the time Lin Qi realized it, it was getting pretty late.

Zou Ying unleashed another punch, her shadow behind her swelling to almost twice its size. Her strength and speed seemed to have doubled as well.

Lin Qi's fist collided with hers, the powerful force surging through her bones and muscles, cracking open her skin with a network of fissures. Blood seeped out like water.

Lin Qi raised her leg and delivered a star hammer kick with a stoic expression.

A leg flashed, like a shooting star falling.

Zou Ying crossed her arms in defense, but the shadow behind her made a gesture of attacking with a waving hand. One attack and one defense, Lin Qi had to eliminate the attack and retreat.

Before he had even taken two steps, Zou Ying caught up to him. One palm was crackling with a network of lightning, the other clenched into a fist of razor-sharp blades.

Lin Qi frowned, her fists crossed in defense.

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared as swords clashed in every direction.

An invisible shield appeared in front of Lin Qi, deflecting Zou Ying's attack.

Zou Ying also exuded a mysterious aura, carrying an ancient and majestic presence, giving people a powerful sense of pressure.

When the two forces were in balance, Lin Qi's bloodline power hidden within her body slowly began to mobilize.

Pale and clean hands, a faint blue fine lines appear.

At first, these fine lines were irregular and unorganized, appearing on Lin Qi's arms and cheeks.

As the two sides exchanged blows dozens of times, the fight grew more and more intense. The fine lines on their hands connected seamlessly, forming intricate patterns that resembled the plumage of a phoenix, vivid and lifelike.

At first, Zou Ying still held back her strength, but she found that Lin Qi confronted her with resilience. She would be strong against the strong and weak against the weak. Therefore, Zou Ying dared not hold back any longer.

She had already engaged in a fierce battle with Yuan Zhen and was unable to sustain a protracted war against Lin Qi, whose strength remained unclear.

Zou Ying's offensive was growing stronger, she wanted to finish the fight quickly.

Lin Qi realized this, her breath becoming increasingly steady. Each move was methodical and rigorous, leaving not even a sliver of space for Zou Ying to exploit.

The battle lasted a day and night, and Zou Ying showed some signs of weakness.

She knew she couldn't continue; otherwise, she would surely lose.

Although she had heard that Lin Qi's physical training and cultivation were good, she never took it to heart.

It is already difficult for a cultivator to cultivate swordsmanship. To further cultivate body refining techniques, even if one has superior talent, their strength will ultimately be limited.

To her surprise, Lin Qi's strength far exceeded her expectations.

Zhou Ying even suspected that Lin Qi's swordsmanship was average, and she specialized in cultivating body techniques on weekdays. Otherwise, how could she have such strong strength

Compared to her, who has been training since childhood, he is not far behind.

Zhou Ying quickly made her decision and began to use secret arts, awakening the ancient witch bloodline within her.

Her skin gradually turned a golden hue, as hot as charcoal. The shadow behind her slowly slipped from her control, as if splitting away from a person.

When Zou Ying completely severed ties with her own shadow, the shadow stood beside her, like another her.

One person, one shadow, simultaneously attacked Lin Qi.

Lin Qi now had faint blue patterns all over her body, like they were carefully painted on with a brush, and her bloodline power was slowly being mobilized.

Strength and speed have already multiplied several times over.

But that's not enough.

She was initially evenly matched with Zou Ying, but now that Zou Ying has a shadow to assist her, she faces two opponents and struggles to keep up. She gradually falls behind.

Lightning and frost exploded before their eyes, the attack's waves growing stronger with each passing moment. The surrounding space itself warped and twisted.

Although Lin Qi diligently practiced physical training, she had not learned many martial arts techniques. Besides a few basic techniques...

... , which is the Five Heavens Water Devours Thunder Technique.

Lin Qi's face was cold, and his arm strength grew stronger with each strike. The overwhelming bloodline power seemed to be tearing through his muscles, about to burst out.

The blue lines on the back of his hand were becoming more distinct and pronounced.

Her eyes also shimmered with a faint blue.

Zhou Ying was quite well-traveled and had long guessed that Lin Qi also possessed bloodline power. She just hadn't anticipated that Lin Qi's bloodline power was so formidable.

However, she also seemed to have let out a bit of breath.

Lin Qi's strength is so formidable, it's probably also related to her bloodline power.

As thoughts swirled, the two figures moved in perfect harmony, flanking Lin Qi and launching a coordinated attack.

Lin Qi received Zou Ying's blow, and her back was attacked by a shadow. A sharp pain spread through her waist and back.

Lin Qi gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and landed a punch on Zou Ying's body.

As soon as the fist landed, a golden light appeared on Zou Ying's body.

A crisp metallic sound rang out.

Lin Qi's back tingled with pain, but she didn't move her hand. She transformed her fist into a palm, and with a flash of lightning from the center of her palm, she pierced through the golden light defense.

Zou Ying's complexion changed, the golden light on her body vanished, and it was then replaced by a fiery glow.

Lin Qi pushed her fist forward without fear, increasing the force several times.

The moment the fist made contact with Zou Ying's body, scorching flames erupted from her. Lin Qi remained impassive as he delivered the blow.

Zhou Ying was knocked back, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and stared at Lin Qi in disbelief.

Lin Qi swiftly moved like lightning, tightly grasping every opportunity, dodging and landing beside Zou Ying, delivering another punch.

"Ouch!"

Zou Ying's shadow couldn't stop it, she let out a heart-wrenching scream.

In just a few breaths, Lin Qi struck several times in quick succession, causing Zou Ying's abdomen to cave in and several ribs to fracture.

When her shadow fell upon him again, Lin Qi quickly retreated.

Zou Ying unwillingly climbed up, and the two shadows entangled again.

Through such back-and-forth exchanges, both Lin Qi and Zou Ying suffered serious injuries.

Zou Ying discovered that Lin Qi's wounds healed at an incredibly fast rate, almost twice as fast as hers.

The situation, which had originally been turning for the better, is now deteriorating rapidly.

She once again summoned the power of her ancient witch bloodline. Her body kept growing, expanding from over a meter to two meters, then three, four… Even her shadow grew larger along with her.

Lin Qi stood before Zou Ying, appearing rather thin and vulnerable.

Zhou Ying's ancient witch clan bloodline power had been squeezed to the limit. Lin Qi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, knowing that the results were about to be revealed.

She no longer concealed her strength, the ice phoenix blood within her raged wildly, and frost spread from her body, turning the surrounding space into an icy mountain and snow sea in an instant.

The icy wind whipped across her cheeks, as if trying to pierce to her very bones.

Even Zou Ying, who was impervious to swords and guns, now sensed a chill from the depths of her bones.

Both sides are amassing strength for a final showdown.

Behind Lin Qi, a giant ice phoenix phantom slowly formed.

The phantom exuded a powerful aura, like an ancient emperor overlooking all beings. With every gesture, he could determine victory or defeat.

Zou Ying's forehead slid a drop of sweat. this token doesn't seem to be in my contract It appears to have no restrictions on its use"Guangmu Zhenjun has lived for so many years, how could he not understand Lin Qi's little scheme.She waved he...
