Chapter 177: Lu Xueqi Battles Lin Yi
Lu Xueqi looked at the terrifying figure exuding an overwhelming aura. After a brief moment of thought, she realized that he should be Lin Yi, the early-stage Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse who had served as the envoy of the Tongtian Tower in the Zhao Kingdom in the original story.
This man held an extremely high status within the Zhao Kingdom. His arrival this time was most likely due to coveting Wang Lin’s Heaven Defying Pearl!
At this moment, Wang Lin stared at the suddenly appeared powerhouse, his face filled with shock.
He did not understand why such a formidable expert would intervene on behalf of Teng Huayuan.
Lu Xueqi looked at the newcomer and said in a cool tone, “Who are you? Do you intend to save him?”
As a Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse, Lin Yi felt a surge of anger when he heard Lu Xueqi’s cold questioning.
After all, given his cultivation, for a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like Lu Xueqi to dare speak to him in such a manner was outright disrespect.
Lin Yi immediately said coldly, “Little girl, today I will protect Teng Huayuan. Do you have any objections?”
As he spoke, the aura of a Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse erupted from him, pressing down toward Lu Xueqi with overwhelming pressure.
At that moment, Wang Lin’s voice suddenly sounded in Lu Xueqi’s ear through voice transmission: “Fairy Lu, perhaps we should forget it. A Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse is simply too strong. I do not wish for you to lose your life because of me.”
In Wang Lin’s understanding, Lu Xueqi should only be at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Facing a Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse, she would have no power to resist at all.
If he could safely take his parents and leave this place today, he would already be completely satisfied.
However, Lu Xueqi replied through voice transmission, “Wang Lin, if you wish to leave today, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
Although that old man fixed his gaze on me the moment he arrived, my Divine Sense detected that he has been locking onto you with his terrifying Divine Sense all along. His true target is likely you!”
Upon hearing Lu Xueqi’s words, Wang Lin was slightly startled. His mind immediately began racing.
Why would this Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse focus his attention on him?
After only a brief moment of thought, a bold guess suddenly arose in Wang Lin’s heart: Could it be that this person had sensed his Heaven Defying Pearl?
At that thought, Wang Lin was shocked. He hurriedly transmitted his voice anxiously, “Fairy Lu, are you confident against this Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse? If you are not certain, how about we directly use the Chat Group’s traversal function to escape?”
At this time, Wang Lin had also done some research on the Chat Group and learned from other members about the existence of the Teleportation Talisman. That was why he now had such an idea.
Lu Xueqi responded via voice transmission, “Fellow Daoist Wang, there is no need to worry. Although this Lin Yi is a Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse, I do not fear him!”
Hearing Lu Xueqi’s words, Wang Lin finally relaxed slightly.
After all, unless absolutely necessary, it was better not to expose the existence of the Chat Group.
Wang Lin now understood that the Chat Group was a supreme sacred artifact. Its functions were likely even more precious than his Heaven Defying Pearl.
Therefore, he did not wish to reveal the Chat Group in public.
Now that Lu Xueqi said she was fully confident in dealing with this Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse, Wang Lin immediately relaxed and transmitted, “Fairy Lu, then please be careful!”
Lu Xueqi nodded and said, “Rest assured!”
Then she looked toward Lin Yi. “You want to protect him? You are not qualified!”
Upon hearing Lu Xueqi’s words, Lin Yi’s expression completely darkened.
His plump body even trembled slightly.
With his cultivation as a Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse, in the Zhao Kingdom, to be pointed at and told by a Nascent Soul cultivator that he was not qualified to protect someone—this was the greatest humiliation imaginable!
Seeing this, Lin Yi roared angrily, “How dare you!”
Without further hesitation, he struck out with his right palm toward Lu Xueqi.
In an instant, a terrifying giant palm of energy formed, blotting out the sky as it crashed down toward Lu Xueqi.
Upon seeing the massive energy palm, Lu Xueqi’s eyes were filled with disdain. “Is that all?”
Although Lin Yi’s strike as a Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse was indeed powerful, in Lu Xueqi’s perception, it was merely average.
Even if her cultivation had not undergone any transformation, relying solely on her strength at the First Level of the Supreme Purity Realm, defeating this Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse would not have been impossible.
And now, her body had been tempered by Nüwa’s Essence Blood, becoming extraordinarily terrifying. Coupled with the transformation of her cultivation—
In her eyes, Lin Yi was nothing more than an ant!
With a sharp shout, Lu Xueqi said, “Seeking death!”
Without hesitation, she also waved her right hand. Instantly, a gigantic energy palm shot forth from her strike.
In the blink of an eye, the two terrifying attacks collided violently!
“Boom.”
A deafening explosion rang out as terrifying energy ripples spread in all directions.
But the result of this clash shocked Lin Yi to the extreme!
He discovered that the palm he had unleashed shattered directly in the hands of that woman!
Lin Yi’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the scene before him.
He was a Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse. Although that strike had been casual, it was not something a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could withstand.
Yet the result before him completely defied his expectations.
His casual strike had been directly destroyed by the woman before him, and her attack continued toward him without the slightest reduction in power.
Seeing this, Lin Yi was horrified. His expression turned solemn.
He knew that the woman before him was far from simple. Her cultivation was extremely terrifying.
With a furious shout, Lin Yi formed hand seals with both hands.
In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky shattered apart, and a massive treasure tower quietly appeared, crashing down toward the giant palm Lu Xueqi had unleashed.
“Boom!”
Another thunderous explosion rang out as Lu Xueqi’s energy palm collided with Lin Yi’s magical treasure.
Her casual strike was finally dispersed by Lin Yi’s treasure, but Lin Yi’s Tongtian Tower was also sent flying by her palm.
Lin Yi’s face was filled with shock, cold sweat covering his forehead.
When he had just used the Tongtian Tower, he had exerted his full strength. Yet even with his full power, he had failed to do anything to Lu Xueqi.
If that were the case, then the woman before him was likely far stronger than he was. This realization made Lin Yi begin to doubt his own judgment.
However, he soon shook his head fiercely.
Although his Deity Transformation Realm had been achieved through opportunistic means, he was still genuinely a Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse.
A Deity Transformation Realm expert possessed the power of artistic conception. Though his artistic conception was not strong, it was not something an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could compare to.
The woman before him was very likely an old monster who had concealed her cultivation—or perhaps she was also a Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse.
At that thought, Lin Yi suddenly calmed down. He withdrew his aura and spoke to Lu Xueqi in a polite tone:
“Fellow Daoist, what happened just now was a misunderstanding. If you wish to kill Teng Huayuan, then kill him. It has nothing to do with me.”
