Standing in mid-air, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, Tan Yun wore a cruel smile, "You vile woman, you wounded me with one sword. Today, I will tear you to pieces!"
"You vile woman?" Nangong Yuqin's eyes grew increasingly cold, "I am the esteemed eldest princess of the Nangong Sacred Dynasty. You dare to insult me like this! Today, I will cut off your tongue and ensure you have a miserable death!"
In an instant, piercing whistling sounds echoed through the chaos, a chilling murderous intent enveloping Nangong Yuqin!
Nangong Yuqin suddenly looked up at the sky, only to see green tendrils of wood elemental power reaching out from the chaotic void, weaving together to form a Heavenly Giant Hand, descending vertically towards her!
Feeling the Heavenly Giant Hand locking onto her, Nangong Yuqin realized she couldn't escape and had no choice but to confront it!
A surge of dark death power erupted from her body, resembling a witch descending to the mortal realm, as she poured her overwhelming death energy into her death attribute Flying Sword!
"Break!"
With a flick of her right hand, a thirty-zhang sword aura shot up into the sky, striking the Heavenly Giant Hand!
"Bang... crack crack..."
The Heavenly Giant Hand shattered hundreds of strands of wood power at once. In Nangong Yuqin's astonished gaze, the hand tightly gripped her, leaving only her head exposed!
"This is not ordinary wood power; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to withstand my sword strike!" A glimmer of realization flashed in Nangong Yuqin's eyes, "With the formation's enhancement, your wood power has increased its might by at least ten times, given your realm!"
"You are wrong, vile woman. It's not ten times; it's eleven times!" Tan Yun replied coldly, "Die for me!"
Immediately, the Heavenly Giant Hand began to squirm and contract as if ready to crush Nangong Yuqin!
"You think you can kill this saintess with mere wood power?" Nangong Yuqin's demeanor turned icy as a powerful aura radiated from her, causing the surrounding space to tremble!
"Boom!"
Amidst the roaring sounds, under Tan Yun's incredulous gaze, the Heavenly Giant Hand exploded into fragments. Nangong Yuqin, engulfed in death power, soared into the sky on her Flying Sword!
"Divine Soul Ascension Sutra!"
In an instant, an ancient and magnificent aura erupted from Nangong Yuqin's body, and her momentum surged, distorting the space around her!
"First layer of the refining soul realm!" Tan Yun's face changed drastically as he sensed Nangong Yuqin's aura, realizing she had somehow raised her strength to the first layer of the refining soul realm!
Then, Tan Yun's expression grew even more serious as he felt her aura had now reached the second layer of the refining soul realm!
"Tan Yun, if you die beneath the secret scripture of my Divine Soul Celestial Palace, I will have no regrets!"
Nangong Yuqin's skirt fluttered without wind. Like a goddess descending to earth, her gaze looking down at Tan Yun conveyed both ruthlessness and indifference!
"Buzz—"
Nangong Yuqin suddenly slapped her right hand towards Tan Yun. Instantly, the space within a two-hundred-zhang radius roiled like boiling water, and a ten-zhang giant hand made of death power swiftly descended towards Tan Yun!
The speed was so fast that Tan Yun had no time to dodge!
"Ha!"
Tan Yun stood in mid-air, infusing his golden spiritual power into his arms. He unleashed a sphere of golden spiritual power with a diameter of three zhang, launching it violently toward the descending giant hand of death!
"Bang—rumble!"
The moment the spiritual power light sphere collided with the giant hand of death, it exploded like a golden sun, sending waves of golden spiritual power blades ravaging through the void!
The giant hand of death waned slightly but only paused for a moment in the empty space before striking down towards Tan Yun again!
"Primordial Divine Step!"
Tan Yun's expression became grave as he took the opportunity to tumble down, but he was unable to avoid the giant hand of death, which struck his left shoulder!
