Peerless Divine Doctor

The two reached their ultimate speed, so fast that to the average person they appeared like a fleeting shadow, hardly visible to the naked eye.

Within ten minutes, Ye Luo followed the white-clothed woman from Ruthless Valley into a stone forest within Zhonghai City. The place was desolate, filled with countless bizarrely shaped rocks.

"I’ll ask once more, where is Lin Xiaoyan’s family?" Ye Luo fixed his gaze on her and demanded coldly, releasing a bone-chilling murderous intent that enveloped the entire stone forest.

Though the woman was breathtakingly beautiful, if she had harmed Lin Xiaoyan’s family, Ye Luo would show her no mercy.

"Ye Big Brother!"

At that moment, a crisp voice rang out. Lin Xiaoyan’s figure suddenly appeared, looking at Ye Luo with a face full of excitement and joy, and she quickly rushed over.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyan, Ye Luo’s face also lit up with happiness, as he couldn’t help but call out, "Xiaoyan."

"Ye Big Brother, I finally see you again." Lin Xiaoyan ran to Ye Luo’s side and hugged him tightly, her tone full of inexplicable affection.

"Xiaoyan, I’m glad you’re alright," said Ye Luo, patting her shoulder.

"But, Ye Big Brother, my mom and dad, they..." Lin Xiaoyan began to speak, tears streaming down uncontrollably, her expression one of immense pain.

"What’s happened to your mom and dad?" Seeing Lin Xiaoyan like this, Ye Luo’s heart skipped a beat, his face darkened, and his gaze swept toward the white-clothed woman with a glint of icy sharpness.

"Did you kill them?"

"This has nothing to do with Sister Bing Xin," Lin Xiaoyan quickly said.

Ye Luo looked startled and asked, "Xiaoyan, what exactly happened?"

Lin Xiaoyan recounted the events of that night. As she spoke of her mother, tears kept flowing.

"Are you saying that your mother was killed, and you were saved by her? What about your father?" Ye Luo inquired.

Lin Xiaoyan shook her head: "I don’t know, I have no idea where Dad went."

Ye Luo’s gaze flickered as he looked at the white-clothed woman from Ruthless Valley and said, "Thank you for saving Lin Xiaoyan."

"I only saved her to kill you,"

The white-clothed woman’s voice was cold and emotionless as she spoke, and in an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from her.

An invisible force field enveloped the area, and all the rocks in the stone forest instantly turned to dust, unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure of this fearsome aura.

Ye Luo’s expression also changed as he said, "Xiaoyan, go hide to the side."

"Sister Bing Xin, can you not kill Ye Big Brother? Ye Big Brother is a good person," Lin Xiaoyan pleaded urgently to the white-clothed woman.

The white-clothed woman did not respond but instead placed her hand directly on the hilt of her sword.

Whoosh!

A piercing sound of slicing through the air was heard, followed by a dazzlingly bright flash of light. Ye Luo involuntarily closed his eyes, and the next second, a sense of imminent danger surged in his heart.

Ye Luo grabbed Lin Xiaoyan and activated Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens, his body whooshed and disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, Ye Luo’s eyes snapped open, and his gaze swept around to see a deep sword mark where he had been standing only a second before—a mark that extended several feet into the ground. Clearly, if the sword had landed on him, he would have been bisected into two halves by now.

The woman in white moved again, her figure as fleet and graceful as a startled swan, and in an instant, she was in front of Ye Luo. The longsword in her hand, gleaming with light, came sweeping towards him with terrifying force.

Ye Luo released Lin Xiaoyan and with a swoosh, pulled out his soft sword from his waist, meeting her longsword head-on. The two swords clashed, emitting a grating clash of metal.

The two warriors engaged in a fierce battle amidst the stone forest, their sword Qi crisscrossing, the shockwaves of their power destroying everything in the surrounding area. Their formidable auras collided, forming a vast battlefield of energy.

After some fighting, the entire stone forest was left in complete ruin, and by this point, Ye Luo had also realized the terrifying strength of the woman in white.

She seemed to be about his age, but her cultivation had already reached the Innate Peak Stage, and she was even verging on the Half-Saint Realm.

She was the strongest among his peers he had ever encountered, even stronger than Leng Ruobing and Situ Wentian. Particularly, her offensive capability was outrageously mighty, deploying wondrous techniques one after another.

Even though Ye Luo gave it everything he had and used even the Lingyun Sword Technique, he couldn’t gain any advantage. This was the first time he felt such immense pressure among his peers, especially considering the opponent was a woman.

Damn it, to be defeated by a woman would be utterly humiliating.

Ye Luo thought to himself. Then, he channeled the Nine Yang Mystic Art to its fourth level, unleashing all the Nine Yang True Qi in his body, which glowed with a yellow light.

The True Qi flowed through his soft sword, making each of his strikes powerful and forceful, but they were all blocked by the woman in white.

Suddenly, the woman’s longsword twisted, and she muttered something under her breath. The next second, four figures of the woman in white appeared in front of Ye Luo, shocking him.

He quickly used his Clairvoyant Eye, and his face changed once again—the four women were all real, indistinguishable from the original.

The four white-clad women simultaneously launched sword strikes, booming through the air, with each strike carrying a ruthless intent—an aura of destruction against all things.

Ye Luo’s expression changed drastically, and he put away his soft sword, his hands moving rapidly.

Imperial Dragon Art’s Dragon Seal!

Break!!!

With a shout, Ye Luo spurred the second seal of the Imperial Dragon Art, the Dragon Seal, summoning a red dragon shadow over ten zhang high. With the resonating roar of a dragon, the dragon image charged forward.

In this strike, Ye Luo used all his strength. Completing the movement left him pale-faced and half-kneeling on the ground.

Boom, boom, boom!

The dragon shadow formed by the Dragon Seal collided with the sword radiance filling the sky, unleashing a sound like a tsunami. The terrifying shockwaves spread out wave after wave.

Ye Luo was instantly blasted away by the shockwaves, tumbling to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, he was wearing the Gold Silk Soft Armor, which took some of the force; otherwise, his injuries would have been even more severe. Still, his eyes were fixed on the distance.

As the shockwaves dissipated, the figure of the woman in white came into view again, still holding her longsword and standing amidst countless sword marks and pits on the ground.

Her expression was unchanging, though she looked a bit pale—but her skin was so fair to begin with that the change was almost imperceptible. Her white palace dress was somewhat disheveled with several tears in it.
