C80 Purple Dragon Thunder Roar Vs Sky Fire Cloud Slash

"Oh no!"

As the Lin family elder's voice rang out, Lin Qingshan's face turned pale. She grabbed Han Feng, and with a swift motion, they leaped out of the carriage.

Han Feng was yanked outside before he could even grasp what was happening.

Simultaneously, a crescent-shaped fire slash plummeted from above.

The carriage exploded in a fiery burst, disintegrating into countless pieces, many of which turned to ash.

A horrific scream pierced the air as a figure tumbled from the wreckage, writhing on the ground. His voice twisted into a grotesque mixture of agony and ecstasy, sending shivers down the spine.

"Freak."

Elder Lin's face contorted briefly before he unleashed another fire slash with a swift flick of his sleeve.

Silence fell upon the world.

None of them had anticipated that Xue Youlin would still be alive.

"Lin Tao!"

With eyes blazing with fury and deep-seated hatred, Lin Qingshan stared down Elder Lin.

Han Feng, standing right beside Lin Qingshan, felt the intensity of her emotions more than anyone.

He had never before witnessed such raw anger in Lin Qingshan; she looked as though she wanted to rip Elder Lin to shreds.

Lin Tao, with a cold smile and narrowed eyes, mocked Lin Qingshan, "So, your injuries have healed?"

"Too bad, today you will die by my hand. If only you had obediently followed the young master, none of this would have happened. Now, not only are your parents and siblings gone, but you also can't escape."

The news of her family's demise drained the color from Lin Qingshan's face, and she staggered.

"Now's my chance!"

Seeing an opportunity, Lin Tao sprang into action, closing the distance to Lin Qingshan in a few steps and reaching out with a clawed hand to grab her.

Despite everything, Lin Qingshan was an Eleven-star Human Rank expert and quickly snapped back to reality.

"Thunder Whip!"

Lin Tao was engulfed in a cocoon of lightning, yet he looked on with scorn. Swiping his claws, he shattered the electric energy.

By then, Lin Qingshan had already retreated several dozen meters, pulling Han Feng with her.

"I'm no match for him. Get out of here fast. He won't spare you, even if you are from the Han family," Lin Qingshan urged in a grave tone.

"No, how could I possibly..." Han Feng replied, his stubbornness evident.

Lin Qingshan's expression was icy. "What good will it do for you to stay? Do you really think you can meddle in a battle between those at the Peak of Human Rank?"

"You're nothing but a liability to me here. Scram!"

Han Feng stared at Lin Qingshan, stunned. Since their relationship had grown close, this was the first time she had ever addressed him with such a frosty demeanor.

In a fit of rage, Han Feng turned on his heel and stormed off.

Lin Qingshan watched him go, her heart aching. She never wanted to be so harsh with Han Feng.

But facing Lin Tao, a master at the Peak of Twelve-star Human Rank, she doubted her ability to keep Han Feng safe in such a fight.

"Did he earn your wrath by defying the young master?"

"Are you blind? He's no match for our distinguished young master."

Lin Tao watched Lin Qingshan with a mocking sneer.

Lin Qingshan shot back with a glacial gaze, "Lin Feng is no better than a swine!"

"How dare you insult the young master? You're dead!" A flash of Killing Intent sparked in Lin Tao's eyes.

His figure multiplied, filling the road with his presence.

"Thousand Shadow Movement Technique!"

Lin Qingshan's face darkened. Though merely a member of a side branch of the Lin family, unable to learn their most esteemed Martial Skills, she was intimately familiar with the family's secret movement techniques.

"Thunder Whip!"

Lightning burst forth, the road now awash in a dance of purple sparks and beams.

"You've made no progress. Such feeble tricks won't touch me. Use the same move you did to harm the young master, or my next strike will be lethal!"

Lin Qingshan's lips tightened as she flicked her wrist, summoning a purple whip into her grasp.

"A Lower-grade Spiritual Tool!" Lin Tao's eyes gleamed.

"A Lower-grade Spiritual Tool of the highest quality, no less. It's no wonder you were able to wound the young master. Such a tool is a rarity, even for the Lin family. Should I present this Spiritual Tool to them, I might be rewarded with a Level 9 Pill and achieve a breakthrough to the Mystic Rank."

Lin Tao's eyes gleamed with avarice.

"Purple Thunder Whip—Purple Dragon Thunder Roar!"

With a flick of her wrist, Lin Qingshan's Purple Thunder Whip came to life, writhing like a serpent. The sky was awash with the dance of purple shadows.

In that instant, Lin Tao's Thousand Shadow form shattered into nothingness.

Then, a resonant roar filled the air.

Coated in a surge of purple True Qi, the Purple Thunder Whip morphed into a colossal purple dragon that bellowed across the heavens.

Lin Tao's face hardened with resolve. "I must slay you here and now, or you'll become a dire menace to the Lin family."

Suddenly, a long sword materialized in Lin Tao's grip, emanating a peculiar energy—it too was a Lower-grade Spiritual Tool. Yet, it was clear that it paled in comparison to the power held in Lin Qingshan's hands.

Armed with a Top-grade Lower-grade Spiritual Tool and a Peak-grade Top-quality Martial Skill, Lin Qingshan's strike had the might to gravely wound an ordinary Peak of Twelve-star Human Rank warrior!

Thus, even Lin Tao could not afford to take her lightly.

"Sky Fire Cloud Slash!"

Massive fire clouds amassed, and from their midst, a titanic red sword phantom cleaved through, hurtling forward with a thunderous boom.

The collision between the red sword phantom and the purple dragon was cataclysmic.

Meanwhile, Han Feng's sprinting came to a gradual halt.

He gave a wry smile and tapped his forehead.

Clearly, Lin Qingshan's icy words were meant to push him away.

Rooted to the spot, Han Feng wavered for a moment before determination set in, and he turned back. "Even if I'm not the strongest, I can still offer her my aid."

Han Feng arrived just as Lin Tao and Lin Qingshan's Martial Skills met in a spectacular clash.

Ripples of purple and red light spread outwards, the earth beneath them fracturing into innumerable fissures.

The nearby trees and rock faces crumbled under the force of the ripples.

Han Feng, luckily at a safe distance, was still sent tumbling several times by the shockwave.

A whirlwind of crimson and purple tore through the area.

Lin Qingshan, unable to contain it any longer, coughed up blood, her complexion ghostly white.

Lin Tao, too, was sent reeling back, struggling to regain his footing.
