Zhang Ding Tian smiled, even though he was heavily injured, he still smiled.
Bai Xue looked at Lu Yin expectantly, she had never felt so powerless as she did at this moment.
Qing Yu exhaled, "You, have been hiding your strength all along?".
Lu Yin shrugged, "Not really, when a person is forced into a dead end, they will unleash their potential."
Qing Yu laughed loudly, "You lowly worm, so what if you unleash your potential? I'll send you on your way first." With that, he pointed a finger towards Lu Yin. This one finger had defeated Zhang Ding Tian, Yan Gang, Mo Nuo, and the others, swept across all the disciples, and similarly shattered Lu Yin's previous Heavenly Stellar Palm. Facing this finger, Lu Yin's expression was stern as he raised his hand. Four stars revolved, and he struck out with a palm.
"Seeking death," Qing Yu roared. In the universe, the White Night Clan represented terror and unmatched power among their peers. The White Night Clan's combat skills were invincible and unstoppable.
Rumble rumble bang! Four consecutive bursts rang out. Qing Yu ignored the first three sounds, but when the fourth sound exploded, terrifying pressure descended. An unstoppable force instantly bent his finger backward, and at the same time, a palm struck his right chest, sending him flying out violently.
The shockwave burst forth, crushing the earth. The colliding forces were like a tornado sweeping across the sky.
Everyone momentarily lost their hearing. A vast expanse of dust filled their vision, and the sky was filled with dust.
When the gale blew through and the dust dissipated, everyone was shocked. Qing Yu had been blasted away.
Lu Yin panted heavily, his right hand aching, a trickle of blood breaking through his skin and flowing down. Opposite him, Qing Yu's face was pale as he gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Yin. His finger had been shattered, and his whole body trembled with rage. "What kind of combat skill was that?".
Lu Yin exhaled, "The kind that will kill you." With that, he used the Soaring Body Technique to rush towards Qing Yu, raising his hand to strike out with another palm. He wanted to kill Qing Yu. Others might not know, but as a member of a terrifying clan, Qing Yu would be even more aware of the terror of the Heavenly Stellar Palm. This person might cause trouble for him in the future.
Qing Yu roared, "You worm, I'll let you experience the power of the White Night Clan."
Bang!
An enormous tremor shattered the earth. Lu Yin retreated, leaving more than ten footprints on the ground. He raised his head and glared forward as Qing Yu burst out of the dust cloud. "You think I only know one combat skill? The White Night Clan doesn't have much else, but combat skills are abundant." With that, his left hand grabbed at Lu Yin. Lu Yin forcibly suppressed the urge to vomit blood, and his left hand similarly rose in a claw, the Seven Style Heavenly Beast Claw.
Bang!
The earth trembled again.
Terrifying shockwaves swept across the ground, and shattered rocks sprayed out, piercing through the cliffs.
Everyone watched the two figures clashing in the dust cloud, completely shocked. Expedition Realm… could reach this level?
Outside Earth, Siken Maldo and the others were also shocked. "How is this person so powerful? That's the Heavenly Beast Claw, it should have reached the seventh style, right? Isn't that a Martial Hall combat skill? He actually learned the Martial Hall combat skill."
"What's truly impressive is that he blocked Qing Yu's one-finger palm strike. Qing Yu's strongest combat skill is his one-finger strike, yet it failed."
"This person is not simple, we must investigate."
...
Comilla's eyes shone as she watched Lu Yin. Others saw Lu Yin's combat skills, but she saw that Lu Yin's hand had completely healed. It had clearly been pierced by a finger before, but now it was fine. This point was very miraculous.
The sounds of tremors seemed to explode in everyone's hearts, causing many disciples to turn pale with fright.
With a bang, two figures simultaneously retreated.
Qing Yu panted heavily, glaring at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's hands trembled. In the Time Stop space, he had not only healed his injuries but also allowed his physical strength to recover a lot, equivalent to resting for five days before fighting Qing Yu again. Even so, it was still very difficult to defeat him. Even the four-star Heavenly Stellar Palm couldn't heavily injure him. This person was truly terrifying, worthy of being a powerhouse who could Wander the Stars. Even a Fusion Realm expert might not be able to withstand his full-force palm strike with their body.
"Young Master, let me teach him a lesson for you," Liu Shao Ge suddenly rushed towards Lu Yin, light glittering on his palm.
Zhang Ding Tian roared.
Lu Yin glanced over, his left hand raised, "Heavenly Beast Claw." With one claw, the Void Beast roared, crushing the light and directly striking Liu Shao Ge, sending him flying out to crash on the ground.
Qing Yu shouted coldly, "Waste! Is this a battle you can interfere with?".
Liu Shao Ge coughed up blood, saying weakly, "I'm sorry, Young Master."
Lu Yin was surprised. With that attack just now, he had intended to kill Liu Shao Ge, yet he was clearly not dead, and he could still speak. His strength was even greater than he had imagined.
"I didn't expect to encounter someone like you on a border planet. To have such strength in the Expedition Realm, you would be considered excellent even in the inner universe," Qing Yu said in a deep voice.
Lu Yin cracked his knuckles, "My strength doesn't need your evaluation."
Qing Yu smirked, "I've seen too many geniuses fall, too many powerhouses die at the hands of my White Night Clan. You won't escape today either. Don't expect the Great Yu Empire to be able to save you. Every trial is supervised by the Youth Council. Unless all of you lose your fighting ability and the mission fails, this trial will continue. And I will kill you the moment you lose your fighting ability."
With that, a layer of intense Star Energy appeared around Qing Yu's body. He didn't release it all at once, but instead wrapped it around himself, gradually moving downwards, eventually wrapping around both legs, looking like he was stepping on clouds. "Go die." With that, Qing Yu's body disappeared, reappearing in front of Lu Yin in an instant, his left hand pointing out with one finger.
This was extreme speed, a footwork combat skill of the White Night Clan. In an instant, the speed was so fast that even Yan Gang and the others couldn't see clearly. Qing Yu intended to kill Lu Yin with one strike.
Lu Yin circulated the Heavenly Stellar Art in his breath, four stars revolving around him. The moment Qing Yu's finger entered the range of the stars, his movements became visible to Lu Yin. The Heavenly Stellar Art's range was very small, but it felt like stars. Qing Yu's finger seemed to be crossing just an inch-square area, but in Lu Yin's eyes, it was very far away, far enough for him to clearly see Qing Yu's attack.
Just like when Las and Mo Nuo and the others used the Heavenly Beast Claw, Qing Yu's one-finger strike's variations were completely seen by Lu Yin.
Lu Yin stared at the attacking finger, his body leaning to the side and sinking slightly. The Heavenly Stellar Palm struck out from an unimaginable angle, not only dodging Qing Yu's finger but also counter-attacking Qing Yu. This strike truly exceeded Qing Yu's expectations. He had originally thought that after using his footwork combat skill, he was certain of landing a decisive blow, but it caught him off guard. Most importantly, Lu Yin's Heavenly Stellar Palm struck the same place that the previously defeated Fusion Realm disciple had hit.
Qing Yu had already been injured there. Being struck again in the same place was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely and heavily injuring Qing Yu, pressing his entire body into the ground. The earth and rocks shattered, emitting a violent sound as molten lava shot into the sky from all directions, burning the air.
The scene was silent, with only the roar of the molten lava.
In everyone's eyes, that exchange just now had happened in an instant. Qing Yu had disappeared and reappeared, already struck into the ground by Lu Yin. It was that simple, but only Lu Yin knew the danger of that moment. If it were anyone else, even Huo Xiaoling breaking through to the Fusion Realm might not have been able to dodge Qing Yu's attack just now, unless they possessed extreme speed like Lulu Mebis to evade it.
Although Lu Yin didn't possess extreme speed, his Heavenly Stellar Art contained the bane of all extreme speed techniques.
Liu Shao Ge's eyes flickered as he looked at the ground.
Everyone looked at the ground, towards that figure buried deep within the earth. Was he dead?
Lu Yin stood by the pit, feeling the heat of the molten lava, panting heavily. Today's situation was Qing Yu's own doing. He had been too careless, thinking he would definitely be hit. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to be hit so badly. The only regret was that he couldn't learn that kind of extreme speed. The White Night Clan's combat skills contained a special rhythm, just like their name, white and night. If one couldn't feel that rhythm, even seeing all the variations was useless.
Lu Yin had originally thought he could learn various combat skills of the starry sky with the Heavenly Stellar Art, but now it seemed impossible. Some combat skills had to be learned in a special environment.
Sizzle—sizzle—
Inside the drill-shaped pit, the ground cracked. In everyone's shocked eyes, Qing Yu pressed down on the ground with one hand and slowly stood up, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Lu Yin. "You worm, you have truly angered me."
Lu Yin frowned. This was really troublesome... As expected of a powerhouse who could Wander the Stars. Even with his cultivation sealed, his body was still very difficult to defeat. He had clearly survived a full-force palm strike from a Fusion Realm expert and himself, and his recovery speed was extremely fast. If they continued to fight like this, he would definitely lose.
"No matter what method you use, you cannot defeat me, worm, despair," Qing Yu growled and rushed towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's expression flickered. He suddenly looked towards the disciples in the distance who were watching this battle, and quickly dashed towards them. Qing Yu coughed up blood but still forced himself to pursue Lu Yin despite his injuries. "You can't escape."
Lu Yin quickly rushed towards the disciples who were watching. Many disciples fled in fright. "This bastard wants to divert the disaster eastward! Run quickly, don't get caught up!" a disciple shouted.
All the disciples quickly ran away.
Lu Yin didn't care about the others. He recognized just one person: Mo Nuo, this Fusion Realm expert whose cultivation was sealed, was closely chasing behind him.
Mo Nuo's face was pale. "What do you want to do?".
