Chapter 88: A Drop in the Ocean

Su Yu watched Ling Wanqing, who was also observing the battle in the distance. When they last met, he had already realized that Ling Wanqing was about to reach the Soul Transformation Stage.

He hadn't expected that by the time he saw her again, she would have already entered the Soul Transformation Stage. Ling Wanqing's talent was truly astonishing. Standing beside her was her disciple, Yun Ruyan.

In Su Yu's view, Ling Wanqing had no intention of intervening; it seemed she was there to provide a safety net.

Her disciple appeared to have just broken through to the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage and had come specifically to observe this battle between Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

After all, if a battle between Soul Transformation Stage experts were to occur, the consequences would be severe.

On Li Yi's side, as his longsword slowly descended, it stirred up waves in the air, each wave containing Li Yi's Sword Intent.

The weak Yao Beasts in the vicinity had long since been shredded into pieces by the Sword Intent within.

Feng Ying watched the scene before him, his eyes darkening. He was truly formidable.

However, seeing this, he refused to show weakness. In an instant, the sky erupted with thunderous roars, and streaks of golden lightning dragons circled and flickered around him.

The raging winds had already swept away everything in the surroundings, and the center of the battlefield felt like the end of the world.

At this moment, Feng Ying was like the source of this world-destroying storm, standing tall at its center.

The onlookers in the distance, observing the situation and the pressure emanating from that direction, realized that, indeed, this battle between Nascent Soul Stage experts was far beyond what they could imagine.

If they had been nearby, they would likely have been ground to dust like ants by that storm, with absolutely no room to fight back.

This world-destroying storm continuously encroached upon Li Yi.

Seeing this, Li Yi also refused to be outdone. His longsword stood firm like a pillar holding up the heavens, and every wave of ripples it emitted was capable of dispersing the encroachment of Feng Ying's storm.

At this moment, Li Yi's longsword descended, and the ripples that had initially formed instantly evolved into monstrous waves of Sword Qi.

Whenever Feng Ying's storm attacked, the massive waves of Sword Qi easily shattered it. Everything within a hundred-mile radius had already been obliterated by the collision of their Auras.

The onlookers watched the two facing off, and the phenomena produced by each side left them incomparably shocked.

Leng Jiahang watched the scene of the two in the distance; seeing it again, he was still quite shocked.

This scene had left quite an impression on him back then, but seeing it again, it was still just as spectacular.

At this moment, Li Yi's waves of Sword Qi grew higher and higher, stacking layer upon layer like the arrival of the Kunpeng, as if they were going to swallow the entire world.

Su Yu watched this scene in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. The spectacle was truly grand. It seemed that after this battle in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, Li Yi's reputation might temporarily overshadow that of Ye Lin.

After all, that kid Ye Lin hadn't appeared for quite a long time.

Above the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, the phenomena of both sides reached their peak.

Feng Ying looked at Li Yi below. "Good, Li Yi, I will remember your name."

At this moment, the phantom of a giant sword emerged from the monstrous waves and struck towards Feng Ying in the sky.

Seeing this, Feng Ying reached out both hands towards the sky. Instantly, a streak of golden lightning appeared in the air, circling above like a giant dragon.

"Let me see whether my Wind and Cloud Returning to Heaven Art is stronger, or your sword technique is."

The golden lightning, accompanied by roars, surged towards Li Yi's waves of Sword Qi.

Li Yi saw this and said, "Well come! A Drop in the Ocean."

The waves of Sword Qi were like the Kunpeng opening its massive mouth, swallowing the golden lightning attacking from above.

"As expected, this attack is ineffective against you, but don't think it ends here."

The golden lightning circling in the sky grew more and more numerous. In an instant, hundreds of bolts of golden lightning, carrying the will of heaven and earth, struck towards Li Yi.

The attacks from both sides continued incessantly. The massive waves kept swallowing the lightning, but the lightning kept descending like raindrops, without ceasing.

"I want to see how many of my attacks you can swallow."

Su Yu watched this scene from the courtyard. Every ripple produced by Li Yi's sword momentum grew stronger by a fraction. If this continued, it seemed Feng Ying would undoubtedly be defeated.

Feng Ying also realized something was wrong. Why was the Aura within the massive waves growing stronger and stronger, and why was the phantom of the giant sword inside becoming clearer and clearer?

Not good. He couldn't let this continue. He understood that if this went on, the further it dragged out, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

He clenched his hands, and instantly, the lightning in the sky converged crazily towards a single bolt.

Seeing this, Leng Jiahang thought, it seems it is coming—the final strike of this battle.

The onlookers nearby also knew that after this strike from both sides, the winner would be decided.

At this moment, the golden lightning converged into a golden lightning dragon. The dragon let out a roar and instantly struck towards Li Yi.

Li Yi's giant sword also rushed out from the massive waves at this moment, as if it were going to split the heavens with a single strike. That Aura struck directly into the hearts of everyone present.

The moment the giant sword collided with the golden dragon, the world seemed to fall silent.

The attacks of both sides stalemated in the air, but not long after, the giant sword slowly pushed towards Feng Ying, clearly indicating that Li Yi had gained the upper hand.

Seeing this, Feng Ying hurriedly and continuously converged lightning towards the golden dragon, but he still couldn't withstand Li Yi's attack.

Li Yi reached out and pushed forward fiercely, and the giant sword instantly scattered the golden lightning dragon before him.

Feng Ying saw this and cried out, "No!"

He hurriedly used all his trump cards to defend against this attack.

But it was futile. When the giant sword reached Feng Ying, he was like a kite with a broken string, smashing heavily towards the ground below.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers in the distance also loudly cheered Li Yi's name, knowing that Li Yi had won.

"Li Yi! Li Yi!"

Li Yi arrived above the deep crater and looked at the weak and dying Feng Ying.

"Among the opponents I have encountered, you are indeed very strong, but you will stop here."

Feng Ying, in the deep crater, looked at the blurred figure before him. Although he had defended against it, his current state was miserable to behold.

Just at this moment, a tail that blotted out the sky appeared, wrapped around Feng Ying, and disappeared into the deep crater.

Seeing this, Li Yi did not say much. That tail was not something he could contend with right now; he knew that a Soul Transformation Stage Yao Beast had intervened.

Su Yu was not surprised as he watched.

For a Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beast with such potential and ability as Feng Ying, it was impossible for the Yao Race to let him die so easily.

If it were an ordinary Yao Beast, that would be one thing.

It was the same for their Human Race side. If Li Yi had lost, their Human Race Soul Transformation Stage expert would also have intervened to take Li Yi away.

After all, such peerless geniuses were extremely rare existences on both sides; if they were to fall, it would be a huge loss for them.

The Soul Transformation Stage experts in the shadows did not stop it either. They understood the logic behind it; they were here to resolve conflicts, not to create them.

If they killed Feng Ying in front of so many Yao Race members, there would be no room for discussion regarding their conflict with the Yao Race.

If it were Li Yi who had lost, the Yao Race side would not have intervened to stop them from saving Li Yi.
