Zhu Que spread its wings, countless flames covering the sky and earth, transforming into a wall of fire that stood before the Ning siblings.

Also, he gave Lin Yun a sliver of breathing room.

Lin Yun stood beside the Fire God Tree, sword tip pointed at Lin Qi, his face cold and ruthless.

Lin Qi, dare you fight me!

Lin Qi, dare you fight me?

A high and cold voice echoed around the Fire Valley, circulating several times before returning to Lin Qi's ears.

Nangong Yuandouble-crossed her swords, blocking Rong Shi's attack. She turned to Lin Qi and said, "Don't listen to her lies. The situation is not in their favor right now, be careful, they might be trying to trick you!"

Lin Qi smiled. "Even if this battle is a ruse, I have to respond!"

After more than ten years, she finally faced off against Lin Yun.

Whatever the case, Lin Qi couldn't be timid at this moment and fan Lin Yun's flames.

In her hand, the Dihuang Sword drew a flower of swords, sketching several lines of cold air condensing into frost.

Lin Qi laughed and flashed before Lin Yun.

The Ning siblings and Zhuque were locked in a fierce battle. Ning Sanyang tore open Zhuque's fire curtain with one hand, wanting to continue attacking Lin Yun.

Lin Qi calmly said, "The Small Heaven Scale is considered a semi-artifact. It has a slight restraining effect on the soul. You go to deal with that man in white. That man is Lin Yun's biggest reliance."

Lin Yun suddenly raised his head to look at Lin Qi, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

When Rong Shi finally managed to catch his breath, he heard this and his expression twisted slightly.

Ning Sangyu pondered for a moment before asking Lin Qi a single question, "Would you kill her?"

"It's not guaranteed to kill."

Ning Sangyu and Lin Yun's faces simultaneously turned ugly.

Lin Qi smiled with confidence: "But I can defeat her, trampling on her so-called dignity and pride!"

Ning Sangyu was startled, the small scale in her hand swung towards Rong Shi.

"I trust you this time!"

Her calm voice drifted into Lin Qi's ears through the wind.

Lin Qi's smile vanished abruptly, her face becoming expressionless as she stared at Lin Yun. Without a word, she brandished her sword and charged forward.

Lin Yun had long been prepared. A sword qi swept over, the sharp sword qi mixed with a chilling evil aura, its attack was extremely strong.

Lin Qi casually unleashed the "Residual Phoenix Chaotic Shadow," summoning five illusory phoenixes with distinct postures, attacking Lin Yun from five different directions.

The first afterimage slammed into Lin Yun's sword, its wings flapping, instantly shattering her sword qi and charging straight for her throat.

Lin Yun narrowly dodged an attack, however the remaining four ice phoenix phantoms came at him simultaneously.

A flash of fear crossed her eyes.

I never expected that after just a few years, Lin Qi's strength had increased so much.

No wonder Rong Shi would tell her to run!

In the Peach Blossom Space, Lin Yun could still withstand a few moves from Lin Qi.

Only now, with a single move, has Lin Yun's weakness been exposed.

She felt a moment of panic and confusion in her heart.

The black malevolence grew stronger, taking over more and more of her body.

Lin Qishi appeared behind her like a ghost, "It seems you've finally chosen the path of a demon cultivator."

Lin Yun was startled. A chill instantly crawled up his legs and onto his spine, making him shiver with fear.

When did Lin Qi run up behind her?!

Before she could even turn around, her abdomen was struck with a violent blow.

Just like a knife stabbing into his abdomen, shredding it to pieces, Lin Yun's face twisted in pain.

Lin Yun let out a soft cry, and the next second her chin was struck hard.

The whole person, like a kite with its string cut, flew and crashed into the wall of the Flame Valley, leaving behind a huge pit.

Lin Yunpan gasped twice, and Lin Qi's figure quickly drew near like lightning.

The next second, he appeared before Lin Yun.

Her face was filled with terror, "Spatial power, how is that possible..."

Before she could finish, Lin Qi's arm clamped around her neck, its strength like a pair of pliers squeezing her throat.

This battle was devastating,

There is no dispute.

Lin Yun's defeat was too quick and unexpected.

Lin Qi's murderous intent was boiling over at this moment. She feared that too many words would lead to complications, so she didn't say a word to Lin Yun and directly grabbed her neck with force.

She and Lin Yun simultaneously felt the sound of bones cracking.

Lin Qi stared blankly at Lin Yun's face contorted in pain, his right hand pulled back, the Emperor Phoenix Sword hovering in his palm, surrounded by a chilling aura.

Without a word, he thrust forward.

Focus on speed and precision!

A terrifying pressure enveloped Lin Yun, the chillingly sharp sword tip steadily approaching his widening pupils.

Lin Yun frantically called for Rong Shi's help in her mind.

She even played her trump card.

Rong Shi's face contorted instantly as he was attacked by the Ning siblings and Nangong Yuan.

Lin Yun, you dare!

He suddenly let out a roar of anger.

A huge hand descended from the sky, tearing through Nanguang Yuan and Ning's siblings' defenses, crashing down heavily on all three of them.

This palm strike, powerful enough to rival a demigod's attack, is one of Rong Shi's trump cards.

Three people vomited blood and knelt on the ground.

... vanished in an instant.

In a blink of an eye, he appeared behind Lin Yun again, grabbing Lin Yun's shoulder and pulling him back.

How could Lin Qi just let Lin Yun off so easily?

With a grab of five fingers, the force at his fingertips increased, and the sound of the larynx shattering mingled with Lin Yun's agonizing cries.

At that moment, he retaliated with a palm strike, the monstrous energy surging forth, a chaotic blend of countless wails and fears.

He is fast, but Lin Qi is faster.

When he launched his attack, Lin Qi knew she couldn't kill Lin Yun. So, she simply angled her sword tip and pierced Rong Shi's palm.

The Emperor Phoenix Sword let out a long cry, and the huge ice phoenix phantom emanated an imperial aura, quickly devouring Rong Shi's soul power.

Frost rapidly spread along Rongshi's palm, freezing half of his body.

At that moment, his face contorted in pain, a heart-wrenching agony, yet he had to endure and save Lin Yun.

So far, he and Lin Yun are one.

If Lin Yun is hurt, he is hurt! If Lin Yun dies, he dies!

Even though Rongshi had countless complaints swirling in his mind, he still needed to save Lin Yun first.

However, at this very moment, the Fire God Fruit ripened.

Lin Yun's injured eyes suddenly lit up.

The Fire God Fruit contains extremely pure fire spirit energy, which has a great restorative effect on her injuries. It can also help her break through the Golden Core stage and become a true Golden Core cultivator.

As long as she becomes a Jindan cultivator, she doesn't believe she can't defeat Lin Qi!

Lin Yun, with a resolute expression, fought his way out of the struggle in her arms and charged fiercely towards the Fire God Tree.

By sheer coincidence, Rong Shi and Lin Yun happened to be the closest to the Fire God Fruit, while Lin Qi was the furthest away.

In less than half a breath's time, Lin Yun appeared near the Fire God Tree.

The fire peaches are right in front of me, within reach.

A touch of excitement flickered in Lin Yun's eyes, his intact arm reaching forward.

It's empty!

Lin Yun was startled, then enraged. "Who is it?"

The next second, a long sword pierced her heart.

Lin Yun's expression lingered on the fury for a second, slowly lowered his head, and gazed in disbelief at the fine sword piercing his heart.

Frost spread along the wound in the blink of an eye, freezing her whole body.

Tan Yueqing's wrist flipped, shattering Lin Yun's heart.

The ice covering Lin Yun was stained red with blood.

She calmly drew her slender sword, holding the Fire God Fruit in her other hand, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I'll take the Fire God Fruit."
