Bai Ying had just walked towards Ruan Xinrou and hadn't even made a move when she suddenly heard a man's voice.
"How about I fight you?"
The speaker was at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, the highest level of cultivation among this group.
He knew that Bai Ying couldn't possibly beat Ruan Xinrou, so he might as well do it himself.
As he spoke, he flew towards Ruan Xinrou.
But to his surprise, before he could even make a move against Ruan Xinrou, he suddenly felt an extremely powerful pressure rushing towards him.
He was forced to retreat repeatedly by the oppressive force before he could even touch Ruan Xinrou.
Although Ruan Xinrou was only at the Pseudo-Core Stage, she had still formed a Core, only that the Core had not yet become a Golden Core.
She is no longer someone that can be dealt with by someone who has just reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
Her hands formed a series of hand seals, and petals instantly appeared in the air, falling like pink snowflakes—seemingly beautiful, yet concealing deadly intent. The petals spun and danced in the air, their speed increasing, forming a dazzling whirlwind.
Everyone stared at this bizarre sight, feeling a chill run down their spines. This was the Huayang Sect's ultimate technique, the Illusionary Flower Killing Formation. This move appeared harmless but was actually extremely powerful. Each flower carried a sharp edge, capable of easily cutting through steel, and this technique was extremely difficult to master.
"I didn't expect Ruan Xinrou to have learned this trick! We're really doomed now."
Everyone was stunned by her methods.
The cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage hurriedly circulated his spiritual power, erecting a sturdy defensive barrier in front of him. However, the moment the petal whirlwind touched the barrier, it emitted a piercing screeching sound. The petals seemed to possess boundless penetrating power, gradually eroding the defensive barrier.
Ruan Xinrou's hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals. With her control, the power of the petal whirlwind grew stronger and stronger. Under the continuous onslaught of the petals, the barrier began to crack, eventually succumbing to the pressure and shattering with a crash.
The opponent, now unprotected, panicked and tried to dodge the petals. But the petals were relentless, chasing after him. One petal grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark. Then, more petals rained down on him, leaving him battered and bruised.
Ruan Xinrou pressed her advantage, forcefully pushing forward with both hands, sending a whirlwind of petals hurtling towards her opponent. The opponent watched in despair as the petals hurtled towards him, powerless to resist. Ultimately, he was engulfed by the petal whirlwind, letting out a painful scream. Moments later, the whirlwind dissipated, and the opponent lay on the ground, covered in wounds, incapacitated.
Everyone at the scene was stunned by what they saw.
They had considered that this Foundation Establishment stage cultivator at the Great Perfection level might lose, but they didn't expect him to lose so quickly! Even a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator at the Great Perfection level was no match for Ruan Xinrou, so what about Bai Ying?
Ruan Xinrou coldly shouted at them, "My only opponent is Bai Ying. If anyone else makes a move, I will have my martial uncle finish him off instantly."
Frost settled on everyone's faces.
Ruan Xinrou's behavior was like cutting flesh with a dull knife. They were going to die anyway, so they might as well die quickly and avoid being made a fool of like monkeys by her!
Some people angrily tried to rush forward, but were held back by the Lingxiao Sect members. "Maybe Bai Ying will win?"
"Tell me how she won! That's a Pseudo-Core Formation cultivator!"
The man shouted anxiously, "Rather than watch Bai Ying lose, I'd rather defeat her myself!"
But as soon as he took a step forward, Colin's finger twitched, and a beam of magic shot through the man's body like a beam of light, causing him to collapse to the ground, lifeless.
No one dared to move an inch; their hearts were filled with indescribable fear, and their eyes were filled with despair.
Even Su Yu and Qin Zijin didn't think Bai Ying would win. They clenched their fingers tightly, not knowing what to do for a moment.
At this moment, Bai Ying had already walked towards Ruan Xinrou.
Ruan Xinrou began forming hand seals again, just like before, and beautiful petals flew towards Bai Ying in an instant. She thought to herself with a bit of boredom, "Defeating Bai Ying is this simple."
But the next moment she saw that her petals stopped spinning the instant they met Bai Ying.
What's going on? Ruan Xinrou desperately tried to circulate her internal energy, but no matter how she tried, it was no use.
With a flick of her finger, Bai Ying instantly increased the number of petals by more than a hundred times. They spun in the air, changed direction, and attacked Ruan Xinrou directly.
"What's this?"
Someone shouted it out.
Su Yu was completely stunned, his fingers gripping his sword tightly, veins bulging on them.
"This is the same Illusionary Flower Killing Formation, except that Ruan Xinrou has just broken through the first level, while Bai Ying has already broken through the fifth level!"
Su Yu could hardly believe it. The Illusionary Flower Killing Array required extremely high talent and arduous training to even achieve a slight level of mastery. Even Ruan Xinrou's Illusionary Flower Killing Array was something the sect leader had to painstakingly teach her step by step before she could barely learn it. Yet Bai Ying had actually cultivated it to such a high level!
When exactly did she learn that? He had no idea.
The cultivators present were equally shocked. They all thought that Bai Ying would be pinned to the ground and groped by Ruan Xinrou like the cultivator before, but they did not expect that she would directly control Ruan Xinrou's moves and even counterattack with a move that was a hundred times more powerful than Ruan Xinrou's.
"Bai Ying is stronger than I imagined."
"Could she really defeat Ruan Xinrou?"
Although they knew it was impossible, some people couldn't help but secretly think about it.
The power of those petals was much greater than before, and even Ruan Xinrou, who was already at the Pseudo-Core Stage, changed her expression instantly.
Normally, one should counter such a deadly move by taking countermeasures and finding ways to neutralize it, but Ruan Xinrou had long forgotten the sect leader's previous teachings and only knew how to flee frantically.
But while she was fast, the petals were even faster.
Seeing the petals about to touch her, Ruan Xinrou quickly erected a shield. Fortunately, this shield was given to her by her master to protect her life. Bai Ying couldn't possibly break through it.
But the petals merged together, transforming into countless magnificent flowers. From the center of each flower emerged a crystal-clear ice shard. Terrifying spiritual power emanated from them, possessing a destructive force capable of annihilating the world.
All those terrifying ice crystals were pointed at Ruan Xinrou.
Bai Ying, her robes fluttering, stood tall in the air. Her hair swayed gently in the breeze, as if she had become one with heaven and earth. At this moment, she was like a goddess, standing at the very center of the world. Around her, the air seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. The entire venue fell silent for a moment.
Even Colin, who had been watching the whole thing, frowned.
Su Yu almost crushed the hilt of his sword.
This isn't the fifth level of the Illusionary Flower Killing Array! This is already the top level. The ninth level of the Illusionary Flower Killing Array!
Su Yu was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He had never seen anyone learn this final level, yet Bai Ying had done it so easily!
