However, faced with this sudden crisis, Ling Xueyan remained unusually calm, showing no sign of panic whatsoever.
In that instant, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold, piercing glint flashed across them.
Immediately afterwards, her aura surged to its peak like a volcanic eruption!
She stared intently at the rapidly approaching exploding bead, then raised her right hand high without hesitation and struck it down with overwhelming force.
The instant Ling Xueyan's right palm made contact with the exploding bead, a deafening roar resounded, and the entire space seemed to tremble.
The exploding bead burst open, unleashing a terrifying, world-destroying energy storm that swept outwards like a ferocious, roaring beast.
In the blink of an eye, the incredibly violent energy completely engulfed Ling Xueyan.
However, a shocking scene unfolded! In the very next instant, Ling Xueyan emerged unscathed from the surging energy storm.
Her speed was as fast as lightning, and her figure was as elusive as a ghost, making it impossible for anyone to catch her.
At this moment, the purple-robed man who was originally confident did not even have time to react before Ling Xueyan's thunderous punch pierced straight through his body!
"You...you..."
The man in the purple robe stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
He couldn't understand how Ling Xueyan could survive such a terrible explosion unscathed, and how she could launch such a deadly attack on him in the blink of an eye.
However, Ling Xueyan's pretty face remained expressionless, as cold and ruthless as an iceberg.
With a slight flick of her wrist, she delivered another powerful palm strike to the purple-robed man's body.
With a muffled bang, the purple-robed man's body exploded like a ripe watermelon, turning into a bright red blood mist that filled the air.
Then, under the gentle breeze, the blood mist slowly dissipated and eventually disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Qin Feng was frozen in place, staring straight at Ling Xueyan, his mouth slightly open, his face full of disbelief.
He never expected that Xueyan had been hiding her true strength all along!
Just now, the powerful force that Ling Xueyan inadvertently revealed struck Qin Feng's mind like a raging storm.
That strength was so great that it was already infinitely close to the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm, and even had the potential to contend with it.
Qin Feng gasped, secretly relieved that he hadn't acted rashly.
Otherwise, given his assessment of Ling Xueyan's current strength, he could easily fall into her carefully laid trap if he wasn't careful, and then he would truly regret it!
Although at present, his strength and Ling Xueyan's strength may be evenly matched, if he were to be caught off guard, he would undoubtedly be the one to suffer.
Just then, Ling Xueyan gracefully and slowly floated down into the spirit herb garden.
She first looked around, her beautiful eyes taking in the surrounding environment, then gracefully squatted down, her jade-like hand gently raised, ready to pick those precious spiritual herbs.
However, at that moment, an enormous, astonishing figure suddenly appeared out of thin air near the herb garden without any warning!
This figure was tens of feet tall, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
Its shape is very similar to the legendary Qilin, but unlike the Qilin, it has nine long and gorgeous tails growing behind it!
The nine tails swayed gently with its movements, each sway causing a slight tremor in the surrounding space, as if containing a terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Ling Xueyan was sitting leisurely in the herb garden, admiring the vibrant and exotic flowers and plants.
However, when she noticed the sudden arrival of this mysterious giant, her beautiful eyes narrowed sharply, and her delicate body sprang to her feet like a spring, staring intently and warily at the uninvited guest before her.
The enormous creature opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar like a great bell: "What kind of rat dares to trespass into my herb garden!"
Faced with the giant beast's questioning and threats, Ling Xueyan merely snorted coldly and said without any fear, "I only want to pick a few spiritual herbs. I hope you will be lenient and not interfere."
Upon hearing this, the giant beast flew into a rage, exhaling two scorching breaths from its nostrils as it roared, "All the spiritual herbs here are personally guarded by me. How could I allow a petty thief like you to act so recklessly and steal them so easily!"
Before the words were even finished, it suddenly raised a huge claw as thick as a mountain and slammed it down on Ling Xueyan with the force of a mountain crushing an egg.
Seeing this, Ling Xueyan did not panic. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and gracefully retreated dozens of feet away like a fairy dancing.
At the same time, her slender hands began to move rapidly, forming complex and mysterious hand seals.
With her movements, dazzling beams of light shot out from her fingertips, flying straight towards the ferocious beast like a meteor shower.
A dazzling halo suddenly emanated from the giant beast, blocking all the incoming spiritual light and preventing it from causing any harm.
Then, it opened its enormous mouth, capable of swallowing the heavens and the earth, and suddenly spat out a giant, blazing fireball.
The fireball, carrying intense heat and raging energy, hurtled toward Ling Xueyan with lightning speed.
Ling Xueyan remained calm and composed. With a slight wave of her right hand, a sword radiating a chilling light appeared out of thin air in her palm.
The blade of this precious sword gleamed with a cold light, like frost in the dead of winter, sending chills down one's spine.
Holding her sword, Ling Xueyan swung it fiercely at the rapidly approaching fireball without hesitation.
In an instant, a sharp and unparalleled sword aura shot out and struck the fireball directly.
With a loud "bang," the seemingly mighty and invincible fireball was instantly cleaved in two, turning into two blazing flames that scattered around, scorching and distorting the surrounding air.
At this moment, Qin Feng stared at the giant beast in shock. He hadn't expected that the Spirit Herb Garden would have a guardian beast.
The key point is that he hadn't even noticed the existence of the guardian beast.
If nothing unexpected happens, the guardian beast will remain there, simply observing the battle between Ling Xueyan and the purple-robed man from its hidden state.
They're planning to reap the benefits without lifting a finger!
