LRAB 381. The Pride of the Valley
381. The Pride of the Valley
Qin Shiyin vanished from her spot in a flash, appearing behind Lei Jingxiao in the next instant. The jade flute in her hand seemed even faster and quicker than her movements! With a vertical slash, the jade flute, enveloped in azure battle aura, resembled a beautiful azure sword!
Lei Jingxiao noticed Qin Shiyin's attack, but merely smirked and moved his right leg to the left rear. Qin Shiyin's flute slashed down just past Lei Jingxiao's body. Qin Shiyin's ghostly speed and Lei Jingxiao's superhuman reaction speed were both displayed in an instant!
This battle was extremely important to Sound Valley, so the vast majority of its people were watching. Many of the disciples watching gasped in astonishment. Even Venerable Echo was surprised; the strength of the two figures in the air was truly beyond their expectations!
"Shion's progress is truly astonishing!"
As the head instructor of the Sound Valley, Venerable Echo is known for his strict demands, rarely uttering a word of approval throughout the year. And the only one to receive such approval is Qin Shiyin!
Just as Qin Shiyin's flute struck down, a sudden burst of emerald green light erupted, and dozens of jade flutes enveloped Lei Jingxiao. Enveloped in emerald green, the jade flutes possessed extraordinary power.
Lei Jingxiao chuckled lightly, and moved the gun behind his back with his right hand.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding..."
Dozens of crisp sounds rang out simultaneously, and Lei Jingxiao blocked all the emerald green shadows with his bare body.
"when!"
One of the sounds was the clearest and crispest. Qin Shiyin's jade flute was aimed directly at Lei Jingxiao's back, but it was blocked by Lei Jingxiao's golden spear, which had positioned itself in advance. The jade flute could not advance even half a step further!
Qin Shiyin's right hand trembled slightly from the force of the impact between the two objects, but the golden spear remained as still as a mountain!
"You are indeed stronger than them." Lei Jingxiao looked at Qin Shiyin, who immediately retreated after missing her attack, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "However, it's far from enough!"
"When I fight a woman, I always give her three moves first! That was the first move!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Yin Valley were filled with rage. Qin Shiyin's extraordinary strength and beauty made her the absolute dream goddess of most of the disciples. How could they not be angry to see their goddess being treated so disrespectfully?
Despite their anger, they all knew very well that, apart from Qin Shiyin, all the other young disciples of Yin Valley had been defeated by Lei Jingxiao, and none of them had the ability to show their charm in front of the goddess!
Qin Shiyin's face remained cold and expressionless, showing little emotion. Without uttering a single word, she threw a punch aimed directly at Lei Jingxiao.
This punch lacked any earth-shattering power; instead, it appeared light and powerless. Only a beam of light appeared with the punch, initially a pale blue with a milky white base, then transforming into a pure blue, then rapidly changing into a vibrant emerald green, then a deep green tinged with yellow, and finally a withered yellow hue signifying the passing of life.
Five colors appeared in succession, and Xiao Yan also sensed a dangerous aura from this attack. Qin Shiyin's attack was definitely not simple!
Lei Jingxiao's eyes, which had been filled with amusement, finally showed a serious look. Crimson flames rose from his empty left hand, and then the flames became more and more intense, and the temperature rose sharply. The crimson flames made the space around them tremble and evaporate.
"roar!"
A deep, thunderous roar resounded as the crimson flames in Lei Jingxiao's left hand transformed into a ferocious, enormous fiery tiger's head. The character "王" (king) within the tiger's head was exceptionally prominent, and its roar was deafening.
Then the tiger's head directly swallowed the light from that punch, and crimson flames continuously condensed and spun on Lei Jingxiao's arm, with sparks and fireflies constantly flying out during this process.
Everyone could sense that a fierce struggle was taking place in Lei Jingxiao's arm, but the roar of the flames was growing stronger and stronger, and the outcome was obvious! In just a short time, Qin Shiyin had already arrived in front of Lei Jingxiao again, and the jade flute was still extended forward, precisely aimed at Lei Jingxiao's heart.
Just as Lei Jingxiao was about to raise his golden spear in his right hand to defend, the vortex of flames in his left hand suddenly stopped, and the flames abruptly weakened. Lei Jingxiao let out a muffled groan.
This time, the golden spear failed to block the jade flute, which struck Lei Jingxiao in the chest, and a bright green light suddenly shone through!
"Snap!"
Without any warning, specks of green burst forth in mid-air, and transparent, pale green branches sprouted out, quickly growing stronger and branching out further. On these branches, transparent green leaves, also constructed of energy, appeared.
In the span of just three breaths, a towering tree sprouted from Lei Jingxiao's center! Unlike ordinary trees, this tree had no underground roots. Because the tree was almost transparent, everyone could see that it did have roots! However, those roots ultimately converged in one place: within Lei Jingxiao's heart!
"Beautiful!" Qin Tan exclaimed softly.
Even Fan Yin couldn't hide her admiration for Qin Shiyin at this moment. Clearly, the latter's performance was fundamentally different from those Yin Gu disciples who were completely manipulated by Lei Jingxiao.
The two old men guarding Lei Jingxiao raised their seemingly cloudy eyes slightly, but their figures remained unchanged, and they did not gather any fighting spirit, as if the fight between Qin Shiyin and Lei Jingxiao had nothing to do with them.
Lei Jingxiao's body was completely sealed by the intricate roots of the giant tree. The roots seemed fragile, but each one was extremely tough. An ordinary Dou Zong expert would probably have no good way to deal with it.
Lei Jingxiao could sense that his life force and fighting spirit were being devoured by these roots drawn from his heart. This was nothing short of a giant, blood-sucking tree that was killing people!
"The strongest disciple in Yin Valley is indeed extraordinary!"
Qin Shiyin's face remained indifferent; she seemed completely expressionless, the only change being that her breathing became slightly more rapid.
"You can escape once you recover your fighting spirit, and that also means you've lost!"
Lei Jingxiao calmly sensed his vanished battle qi and life force, without a trace of surprise in his eyes. He simply said nonchalantly, "Not bad wood-attribute battle technique. It seems you and I are both quite proud."
"But what makes you think you can defeat me without even using sonic combat techniques?"
The next moment, something unexpected happened!
