At this moment, not only Su Yu, but even Ruan Xinrou herself showed an extremely shocked expression.
This sect's secret technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. Even the sect leader only managed to reach the eighth level, but Bai Ying actually cultivated it to the ninth level!
How did she manage to do that?
Ruan Xinrou angrily said to her system, "Is the female lead's luck really that strong? Why can she cultivate everything so quickly? Why? This world is too unfair!"
The system said, "Otherwise, what do you think we systems are for? Aren't we here to break this injustice? Once you defeat her and turn her into your puppet, her destiny will belong to you!"
Ruan Xinrou's eyes were filled with greed. If she had Bai Ying's luck, she could succeed at anything she wanted!
She was determined to steal all of Bai Ying's luck! Although she couldn't kill Bai Ying yet, she would trample Bai Ying under her feet and make her despised and hated by everyone. She would make her suffer worse than death!
However, Ruan Xinrou was unaware that Bai Ying's Illusionary Flower Killing Array was not something easily mastered. She had put in countless efforts to break through this array; in her previous life, she had even teetered on the brink of death to perfect it. How could one succeed so easily without immense effort?
Seeing that the overwhelming power had solidified and was about to attack her, Ruan Xinrou's face turned pale!
"System, help me!"
The system immediately used an item to block an attack for Ruan Xinrou, but then said to her, "Your luck value has dropped too much; you have no points left. From now on, you'll have to work hard on your own!"
Ruan Xinrou frowned, staring intently at Bai Ying, thinking to herself: using the illusionary killing array against her is completely useless; it seems I still have to rely on my own cultivation to completely crush her. She shouted sharply, "Bai Ying, next, I will make you clearly realize that the Pseudo-Core Realm is far more complex than you imagine! I will make you truly feel the enormous gap between us!"
Having said that, Ruan Xinrou immediately used the technique to bind Bai Ying, intending to control her solely through the pressure of her cultivation level. She released all of her own pressure without reservation. Although this pressure was not as powerful as that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it still made the expressions of the many cultivators present extremely solemn.
Spiritual energy circulated rapidly within Ruan Xinrou's body. She clasped her hands together and pointed them directly at Bai Ying. A dense attack of spiritual energy shot towards Bai Ying like lightning. No matter how powerful Bai Ying was, she was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage and could not possibly escape her binding technique! She intended to use this method to completely defeat Bai Ying and to utterly dispel the hopes of those who expected Bai Ying to win.
Faced with Ruan Xinrou's fierce attack, Bai Ying showed no intention of dodging. Some people on the scene couldn't bear to watch and closed their eyes tightly.
After all, no matter how powerful the technique is, it can't compare to the strength of one's cultivation. Bai Ying is definitely doomed now.
"Foolish fellow, you actually dare to dream of defeating a Pseudo-Core Realm cultivator!" Ruan Xinrou roared angrily and launched a full-force attack on Bai Ying!
"Bang!"
The sound of the impact was extremely terrifying; it could only be described as earth-shattering.
However, after that force attacked Bai Ying, it did not defeat her at all. She remained standing there unharmed, and even took a step forward.
"How could this be? Wasn't she restrained? Why can she still move?"
This scene left many people in disbelief.
Even with Ruan Xinrou's pseudo-core realm cultivation, she was unable to kill Bai Ying, who was in the late foundation establishment stage!
Not only were the people present in disbelief, but even Ruan Xinrou was stunned. She clearly felt that her attack had hit Bai Ying! And she had indeed used her technique to bind Bai Ying.
"Why?"
Bai Ying looked at the horrified Ruan Xinrou and said, word by word:
"Who told you I'm only in the early Foundation Establishment stage?"
As she spoke, she gradually released her aura. That aura was extremely powerful, even stronger than Ruan Xinrou's.
"Could it be that Bai Ying has already reached the Pseudo-Core Formation Realm?"
Su Yu stared blankly at the scene before him, somewhat lost in thought. He knew better than anyone how much Ruan Xinrou had sacrificed to reach the Pseudo-Core Realm; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the entire sect had contributed its resources.
Bai Ying had only just arrived at the Lingxiao Sect, so the people there wouldn't use the same methods they used to train Ruan Xinrou to train Bai Ying.
But Bai Ying had already reached the Pseudo-Core Realm! What terrifying talent!
Such a person was actually abandoned by the sect!
Despite the powerful pressure emanating from Bai Ying, the people present were not only not uncomfortable, but were also excited.
"Great! We're saved! Bai Ying was hiding her true strength!"
Only Ruan Xinrou looked unwell.
"Even if you're only at the Pseudo-Core Formation Realm, so what? I can still defeat you!"
As she spoke, she took out a pill and swallowed it. This pill was given to her by the sect leader, who said that after taking it, she would instantly possess the strength of the early Golden Core stage!
"Bai Ying, this time I'm going to make you lose!"
Ruan Xinrou attacked Bai Ying again, each of her attacks aimed at Bai Ying's dantian. She wanted to shatter Bai Ying's dantian embryo and make her cultivation level return to the Foundation Establishment stage!
However, to Ruan Xinrou's surprise, those attacks still had no effect on Bai Ying, and were all blocked by the invisible barrier she created!
Everyone's mouths gaped open even wider.
Even those in the early stages of the Golden Core realm couldn't break through Bai Ying's barrier. Could it be that Bai Ying is already in the early stages of the Golden Core realm?
No way!
But just three days ago she was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment!
At that moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and even Colin, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, looked serious.
Bai Ying ignored Ruan Xinrou's attack and instead, like Ruan Xinrou, simply focused her spiritual power and aimed it at Ruan Xinrou's dantian.
Since she wants to destroy his golden core, then he will let her experience the feeling of a shattered core.
Ruan Xinrou's face was extremely pale. After realizing Bai Ying's intention, she immediately fled frantically.
She clearly put in so much effort, even taking pills to boost her strength, so why is she still inferior to Bai Ying?
However, to her surprise, she had just made a move when she suddenly felt herself being restrained.
She couldn't move at all, let alone release spiritual power; she didn't even have control over her body.
She was actually dealt with by Bai Ying using the same move!
Seeing that Bai Ying was about to shatter Ruan Xinrou's dantian embryo, Colin became anxious instantly. He no longer stood idly by as he had before, and directly reached out to slap Bai Ying.
"You bastard! How dare you!"
"What do I have to be afraid of?"
Bai Ying was not afraid at all and retaliated with a palm strike!
