Zhang Yan had never imagined that the power of the Water Element True Light would be so immense. As soon as it was unleashed, it swept away the Demon Aura completely. At this moment, when he looked up, he saw the sky clear of clouds and mist, the wind and rain had ceased, and the Heavenly Vault above was washed to a cold brilliance, all luster faded, with the bright day clear in the heavens.
He turned his head and saw Yan Yuqin standing dazedly in the distance. He sneered coldly: "So it was Daoist Yan causing trouble behind the scenes."
As the words emerged, he flicked open his sleeves and rode the clouds to advance.
When that water-colored brilliance passed by earlier, Yan Yuqin felt herself being pulled by a tremendous force, as if an endless great water was sweeping over, causing her to sway left and right, as if she might accidentally fall into a vortex of giant waves. With great effort to resist, she finally steadied herself. Content originally comes from novel⸺fire.net
At this moment, when Zhang Yan shouted, her expression showed a trace of panic, and she hurriedly shook the Yin Sha Corpse Mourn Banner in her hand.
No matter how desperately she shook it, the banner seemed to have lost its spiritual nature and showed no reaction, leaving her shocked. Her expression fell into Zhang Yan’s eyes, provoking a mocking sneer.
Yan Yuqin thought that the hundreds of Yin Corpses were shattered under the light curtain and wanted to regroup them, but she did not know that those Yin Corpses had not actually dissipated; they had all been swept into that Water Element Profound Light.
This light was a Five Elements True Light that Zhang Yan cultivated using Ren Gui Water Essence, containing countless courses of water, a collection of all rivers and streams, layer upon layer, winding and twisting. Anything brushed by this True Light, if unable to resist, would fall into it, unable to find a way out for half a day.
These over three hundred Yin Corpses did not have a high cultivation to begin with. After being swept by his water light, they were all taken in.
Within this True Light, the waters of rivers could move and change according to Zhang Yan’s Heart and Spirit, and even if people who fell into it exerted force to attack, they would be blocked by the layers of rivers. Unless their Mysterious Skill cultivation was far greater than his, only then could they use brute force to break through the Profound Light and escape. However, such people, Zhang Yan would also not easily drag them inside.
At present, Zhang Yan had not yet reached the Hua Dan Realm, so he could not fully exert the power of this True Light. But if one day his cultivation deepens, this True Light would be like a vast ocean, capable of holding the waters of the world. In battle, just unleashing the True Light would sweep away thousands of troops and shake mountains and peaks.
Yan Yuqin’s Yin Sha Corpse Mourn Banner was originally her greatest reliance. Now suddenly losing its Divine Skills, seeing Zhang Yan charging up, her heart panicked, she hastily raised a Treasure Mirror, silently chanted a spell, and as the mirror surface flashed, a crystal-clear light beam as bright as spilled snow descended.
Zhang Yan twiddled his fingers, summoned the golden hammer, and with a slight urge, released Golden Radiance. Two golden spheres as large as baskets spun incessantly in front of him, stirring the smoke and splitting clouds to clear the path. Every time the dazzling white light shone down, it was firmly caught by the hammerheads, never illuminating his body.
In an instant, he was already within three feet of Yan Yuqin, his form did not stop, and he punched forward, all at once, a vortex of force sounded like thunder and swept across.
Seeing Zhang Yan’s aggressive attack, Yan Yuqin’s face turned pale with fright, lifting her skirt to spin aside. She accidentally brushed past the sweeping Qi Force, causing her to stagger. Fortunately, she was battle-hardened. At this critical moment, she remained composed, swiftly pinched a hairpin with her delicate fingers from her head, pulling it into her hand, and said, "Hurry!"
A beam of light like a golden snake shot up, flying out from her palm towards Zhang Yan’s eyes. She didn’t check if it hit, took advantage of the forward momentum, and flicked her water sleeves, her feet lightly tapping the cloud’s surface, attempting to escape.
Zhang Yan waved his sleeve, knocked down the golden hairpin, paused slightly, and then resumed his pursuit.
Yan Yuqin had just reached the air when, unexpectedly, a Green Cloud drifted in to block her path, forcing her to turn her tunneling light, trying to evade elsewhere.
Though she was fast, the Green Cloud was faster, clinging to her like a shadow, in the blink of an eye; she changed several positions, but her paths were always blocked a step ahead.
She glanced around and saw a green-clothed youth standing on a cloud, smirking at her, then swung his sleeve, returning to the Green Cloud, making her grit her teeth in anger. Glancing back, she saw Zhang Yan also closing in. Realizing she missed her chance to escape, she had no choice but to turn around and launch a scorching lotus-like flame at Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan raised his hand, two golden hammers flew forward with a "bang," shattering the fire’s glint, then pounded towards the woman.
In a desperate moment, Yan Yuqin couldn’t dodge, she exerted herself to raise the Profound Light, which shone a rosy red glow like the sun, reflecting the surrounding clouds with shades of fresh blood.
