Linfuyun looked at Chen Yun's face with an expression of disbelief.
She could hardly imagine how Chen Yun managed to evade it just now, considering the enormous power and extensive range burst out by the Ziwei Divine Curse.
She only practiced the Yin Spirit, of course she didn't understand that apart from cultivating the internal elixir, Chen Yun also practiced body refinement and the Yin Spirit.
Zhenqi is like a source of power, allowing Chen Yun to unleash his strength.
Although the Yin Spirit is currently weak, it is sufficient to use God's consciousness to probe Lin's every move.
As for the formidable physique, it provided Chen Yun with an ultra-high reaction speed.
Just now, Chen Yun noticed through his God's consciousness that there was a terrifying force about to burst forth in the ground, and he immediately used the Wind-Controlling Technique. In the moment when the golden light rose, he quickly escaped from the point of explosion.
Certainly, although he narrowly avoided it, the power of the burst of golden light was too fierce, and he was still injured by the after-effects.
This force is too powerful, even the aftereffects would deal a severe injury or death to an ordinary person.
At this moment, Chen Yun's formidable physique came into full play. It enabled him to withstand the strong impact and, by utilizing the impact force, he controlled the wind and sped up several times faster. In a flash, he appeared behind Lin.
These may seem complex when described or spoken, but in reality, they happen in the blink of an eye.
As for why Chen Yun has been on the receiving end and hasn't taken the initiative to counterattack.
It's purely because he lacks a sufficient number of methods and skills.
If he were to face Lin Feiyun in a direct confrontation, he would certainly not be able to stand a chance.
Therefore, Chen Yun adopts the strategy of wearing down the opponent, allowing them to exhaust their "blue bar" first.
What is the greatest fear for a mage?
Of course, it's out of blue!
Chen Yun began by verbally provoking the opponent from the very beginning. For instance, he mentioned killing Liu Guibi and Zhang Qing being punished for seeking trouble with him by being sealed in a sea eye. His intention was to make the opponent angry and thus drive them to recklessly use their ultimate moves.
Indeed, his plan succeeded. Lin Feiyun kept using spells, and with the use of the powerful move earlier, it's certain that she has expended a great deal of magical power.
Chen Yun didn't believe that she had much left in reserve.
Therefore, he was sure to win!
"Defeated? Defeated?" Lin Feiyun laughed sarcastically, "Do you really think that just by evading my spells, you've defeated me? Impossible! You're too arrogant!"
As she spoke, she tried to forcefully activate her Yin Spirit to continue using the Soul-Depleting Technique.
Chen Yun merely lifted his hand lightly, and as he pointed his sacred sword forward, ten dozen sharp ice shards appeared in front of him, each as thick as an infant's arm.
These ice shards, upon their creation, shot towards Lin Feiyun instantly, like rockets, with immense force!
Soar! Soar! Soar! Soar!
More than a dozen ice shards deeply pierced Lin Feiyun's body.
Pfft! Pfft! Volumes of blood erupted from her body.
Under the influence of this, Lin Feiyun, whose hair was disheveled, was interrupted in her spellcasting.
She glanced down at the ice shards piercing through her, laughing maniacally, "I've been defeated! I really have been defeated! I never expected to lose to such an insignificant 'Xuanying Technique' like this small method."
Chen Yun looked at her seriously, "No, you didn't lose to the Xuanying Technique."
"Hmm?" Lin Feiyun's laughter suddenly stopped, and she looked confused, asking, "Then where did I lose?"
Chen Yun extended his finger and pointed at his head, "Here."
Lin Feiyun was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Yun voluntarily explained the situation, "If we were to compare our physical strength, without using my ultimate move, I would not be your opponent. However, you were arrogant, or maybe you just wanted to end the battle as soon as possible by casting powerful spells one after another, causing you to exhaust your energy in an instant. From now on, you can only be at my mercy. That's why I just want to tell you one thing: You are really very foolish!"
"Am I foolish? Am I foolish?" Lin Feiyun, filled with rage, trembled and said with shaking voice: "I have reached the mid-stage of inferior mage within thirty-four years, and you say that I am foolish?"
"Compared to me, you are indeed very foolish," Chen Yun said for the first time without holding back his inner pride, his face expressing arrogance. "It took you thirty-four years to reach the mid-stage of an inferior mage? Guess how long it took me? I've been cultivating for less than a year!"
What... what?
To cultivate to a level just below inferior mage in less than a year?
Lin Feiyun was deeply shaken in her heart, truly unable to believe that there could be such a genius as Chen Yun in this world!
At this moment, all of her previous glory and pride seemed to be shattered by Chen Yun's hand!
Click.
Lin Feiyun even heard the sound of her spiritual heart shattering!
"I... I've lost." Lin Feiyun, with blood constantly flowing from her body, gave a bitter smile, "Lost. This time, I've really lost."
At this point, she revealed a stubborn expression, "I admit that you are the most talented person I have ever met, but it's impossible for you to make me surrender. You can kill or harm me as you wish!"
Unexpectedly, something happened to her.
Chen Yun said calmly, "Before I defeated you, I had an insatiable desire to overcome you, but the moment I beat you, I suddenly didn't want to kill you."
Lin Feiyun was taken aback, "Why?"
Chen Yun, still holding the sacred sword, faintly emitted a trace of electricity. He declared to the world like this, "Before that, you were like an insurmountable mountain in my heart. You even brought me infinite shadows and darkness. But after I climbed over that mountain, I found out that it was just a small mound. Simply put, you don't deserve to die at my hands."
"Not worthy to die in your hands?" Lin Feiyun was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and her voice gradually became shrill, "You dare say I'm not worthy to die in your hands? I want you to die!"
With those words, she disregarded her injuries and once again gathered all her strength.
And I saw that the air around her twisted, and the ice shards on her body were also shattered by the twisting air.
A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yun's mouth. It seems she still has some strength left.
Chen Yun had said those words only to provoke Lin Feiyun; otherwise, if he had charged in without caution and she still had some power left, she would have made a last-ditch effort. That would leave him open to serious injury, and there was even a possibility that he could be killed by her unknown techniques in an instant.
Therefore, Chen Yun wanted Lin Feiyun to use her ultimate technique without considering the consequences while she was in a state of losing her sanity.
In this way, he could defend himself.
Perhaps Lin Feiyun, overwhelmed by anger, had completely lost her rationality and stood there without any defense, gathering all her strength in this moment, which could be said to have no precautions at all.
Chen Yun seized the opportunity to cast the Star River Vortex Technique.
In a flash, Lin Feiyun, who was accumulating her strength, found herself in an infinite expanse of stars, a realm of darkness with shooting stars twinkling.
"Starry Illusion!" Lin Feiyun exclaimed in alarm, "How can you even use a Starry Illusion?!"
Chen Yun's expression became fierce as he said, "You... can die!"
With those words, the swirling star river behind him abruptly expanded, filling the entire space!
The powerful force generated by the shattered star river spinning behind him seemed to be about to crush everything within the entire space!
Even Lin Feiyun's Yin Spirit!
"You! You can't kill me!"
Lin Feiyun roared, "Yellow Turban Soldier! Protect my body!"
Facing such oppression, she felt the crushing power of the star river spiraling around her, understanding the terror of the Starry Illusion. This is a Soul-Depleting Technique; if her Yin Spirit truly falls into the Star River Vortex, she will die without a doubt, and her Yin Spirit will be shattered into pieces!
Because of this, Lin Feiyun had no choice but to resort to all her life-saving techniques with all her might!
Bang!
Endless stars trembled, and a bronze-yellow visage, whisker as squalid wool, emerged as if towering a foot high with over a thousand cudgels' worth of strength. A yellow turban swayed at its side, its golden ring radiated sunbeams that sprayed rosy light; its embroidered vest housed a coat of armor frozen in frost to swallow the moon's shadow. This Yellow Turban Soldier emerged from the void.
The moment the Yellow Turban Soldier appeared, it emitted countless beams of radiant light from its entire body.
The beams of radiant light illuminated wherever they touched, causing the starry expanse in those areas to begin collapsing and disintegrating!
In a flash, the entire starry sky was extinguished, replaced by the radiant light. Within that light, there was the terrifying power of Lin Feiyun's invocation of the Yellow Turban Soldier's sacred image.
However, Chen Yun remained unmoved. In the instant when the starry sky vanished, he used his Wind-Craft to run to Lin Feiyun's front in an instant, revealing a toothy grin, "Die!"
Lin Feiyun hadn't come to her senses yet, and before her very eyes, a fist the size of a sandbag appeared!
Thud!
Her head was struck fiercely!
A massive force erupted from the point where the fist made contact with her head.
Then... Lin Feiyun's head, like a watermelon smashed to pieces, red and white flesh flew in the air!
Her headless body landed heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Under Chen Yun's full-body accumulation of spiritual energy and martial cultivation, the force could be as powerful as a thousand cudgels. Lin Feiyun, who only cultivated her Yin Spirit, could not possibly withstand such a terrifying burst of power with her physical body.
Therefore, Chen Yun's punch exploded Lin Feiyun's head!
Chen Yun, covered in Lin Feiyun's blood and flesh on his face and body, did not hesitate. In the moment of destroying her physical body, he extended his spiritual awareness and immediately discovered that Lin Feiyun's Yin Spirit was trying to escape.
He used the Soul-Depleting Technique again.
In an instant, amidst the terrified "eyes" of Lin Feiyun's Yin Spirit, Chen Yun's figure instantly blurred into a multitude of golden lights.
Immediately, a terrifying heat rushed towards him.
Lin Feiyun saw only a massive hand, the size of a millstone, composed of golden light, grip her Yin Spirit fiercely!
In that split second of being captured, she saw a towering figure, standing about four or five cubits tall and enveloped in radiant golden light like a statue forged from gold, appear at the spot where Chen Yun had been standing before.
It was Liao Guibai's Soul-Depleting Technique with the golden-armored divine figure!
Although Lin Feiyun didn't know how Chen Yun had acquired this sort of technique, she knew that if she didn't beg for mercy right now, she would truly be extinguishing her soul and breaking her spirit, and there would be no chance of reincarnation!
"Please spare my life! Please spare my life!" Lin Feiyun's Yin Spirit's "eyes" were filled with endless panic for the first time. At that moment, she was like a gazelle caught by a tiger and sought only to live humbly, even to the point of shameful supplication.
She couldn't believe it even at the very end of her life, that the Chen Yun she had once manipulated so casually could transform into a King of Hell, about to send her on the path to the Underworld!
In this moment, Lin Feiyun felt an extreme regret, regretting that she shouldn't have sought the red fruit and the Gathering Spirit Bead first, but should have killed Chen Yun right away!
But it was too late to regret now. She humbly pleaded with Chen Yun to be merciful and spare her life!
Yes, Lin Feiyun was so despicable that she was kneeling and begging for her life before the "ant" she once scorned.
According to reason, this should be a highly humiliating thing.
At that moment, Lin Feiyun had no idea of humiliation.
Because she knew that the Chen Yun of today was very different from the past, and that the current opponent was stronger than her!
Even if the battle were to happen again, she would still not be able to defeat Chen Yun!
"Hmph!" Chen Yun was not prepared to give the other party any chance to live, "When I and Master Zhang begged for mercy from you in the past, did you ever think of letting us go? When you incited your master to cause trouble for Master Zhang and Master Lin of mine, did you ever imagine this day's fate? Die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden hand exerted a mighty grip, clenching tightly.
In the next moment, Lin Feiyun's Yin Spirit was crushed into a myriad of golden light particles, which scattered in the air in an instant, disappearing completely...
