I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

boom--!

A violent explosion erupted centered on Yan Ziming. For a moment, everyone thought it was a star shining brightly. All afterimages were instantly obliterated, and the White Emperor Sword returned to defend its master on its own.

Murong Haiyi finally lost his composure.

Her attack was actually aimed at herself!

That's a domain technique! When it's unleashed by Yan Ziming, it's even more terrifying and unparalleled; even a ninth-tier cultivator wouldn't dare to take it head-on!

Even Ye Qianxue, who was watching the battle, subconsciously felt a pang of worry for Yan Ziming, but then she put her mind at ease when she thought about Yan Ziming's special qualities.

laugh.....

There was a sound of something turning to ashes.

In the slowly dissipating holy light, Yan Ziming's snow-white neck was slightly raised, her hair swaying gently in the breeze. Her solemn expression, with holy lightning flowing in her eyes, made her look like a sacred Valkyrie, quietly looking down at Murong Haiyi.

Unharmed!?

Murong Haiyi was dumbfounded. What kind of monster was she? He wondered to himself, if he had taken that blow head-on, he probably wouldn't have been reduced to ashes!

Or is she immune to all lightning-based attacks?

"Ok?"

Murong Haiyi focused his mind and discovered that Yan Ziming's shoulder wound had already healed, radiating a warm and jade-like divine light, and he could no longer absorb any essence from it.

So that's how it is... So, in order to counteract this negative influence, they chose to fight themselves...?

However... he was truly surprised that the mark of the immortal spirit could be erased in this way.

Looking at the White Emperor Sword in his hand, Murong Haiyi said with a hint of bitterness, "Even immortals have enemies..."

However, his fighting spirit only grew stronger, and the White Emperor Sword, infected by this, let out a roar like a tiger howling through the mountains, causing everyone to change color.

Yan Ziming closed his eyes slightly and gently wiped his shoulder. "I've purified some impurities..."

Thousands of lightning bolts, as thin as smoke, descended from the thunderclouds in the sky, connecting in wisps to her jade-like back, outlining a pair of celestial robes, like two light curtains, floating in the air.

"Let's continue."

As the king's cold and serene decree fell, the air, which had just endured violent ravages, instantly transformed into a tranquil lake surface struck by a hammer, churning up towering waves, foreshadowing the climax of the epic battle between the two sides.

Chapter Ninety-Four: Victory and Defeat

Yan Ziming was certain that Murong Haiyi had definitely comprehended the will. Although there was still a gap between them, the gap wasn't that big thanks to the White Emperor Sword.

Furthermore, the strange functions inherent in the White Emperor Sword seem to be related to Murong Haiyi's second path.

It's not that he has already embarked on a second path, but rather that there is a general direction in which he is trending.

Given time, barring any major changes, this should be Murong Haiyi's second path.

Upon seeing the luminous feathers floating behind Yan Ziming, Murong Haiyi felt a sense of alarm.

He had witnessed firsthand that even SS-class mutated species, which could almost predict the future and know in advance of danger, could not prevent it, which shows just how fast it was.

In terms of reaction speed, he certainly couldn't compare to the mutated species, but he also had his own protective measures.

Murong Haiyi took a deep breath and struck a rather strange pose, which made everyone's expression change.

—Integrated offense and defense.

At this moment, he appeared to have no flaws whatsoever, leaving no opening for his opponent to attack, making him invincible!

Like a sword that is half-drawn from its sheath, it is always on guard against attacks from all directions. To defeat it, you must break its formation!

A cold glint flashed in Yan Ziming's eyes as he unleashed a powerful, penetrating strike, only to have it severed by an invisible aura.

You can even kill this?!

Does that mean even mental attacks are ineffective against him at this moment?

"What a magnificent Baidi!"

Mu Mu's expression turned solemn upon seeing this, and she secretly wondered what methods she would use to deal with him if she were still at the eighth level.

She was horrified to discover that there was no technique that could break through the barrier except through direct confrontation!

This Celestial White Tiger is practically a living treasure trove, and Murong Haiyi has developed countless uses for it. The two complement each other, making it terrifying beyond measure!

Yan Ziming frowned deeply after reading it, unable to find a solution.

She decided to launch a probing attack first.

With a tremor of light wings behind him, Yan Ziming's body became ethereal. Murong Haiyi, his expression focused, raised his sword and slashed horizontally into the air.

With a clang, both sides retreated a distance.

Pushed to the horizon by the inherent shockwave of the White Emperor Sword, Yan Ziming's hand holding the Thunder Cutter trembled slightly, his gaze somewhat gloomy.

Even though he wasn't traveling at near-light speed, he was still very fast. The fact that Murong Haiyi was able to block him was enough to demonstrate the excellence of his swordsmanship.

Based on this, it seems that even if he moves at full speed, he might be able to block it.

【I'm sorry... Zi Mo...】Mo Xin felt extremely guilty, realizing she couldn't be of any help, which was a blow to her.

[Fool, there's nothing to blame yourself for. Just did your duty.]

Yan Ziming comforted her, but at the same time, he didn't believe that the White Emperor Sword could suppress Lei Qie.

If that immortal white tiger had grown to the Sequence level or even the Soul Heaven level, Yan Zimo would have believed him to some extent.

Keep in mind that even a Sequence-level enemy cannot withstand a Raikiri attack unscathed!

Take the initiative!

Yan Ziming couldn't understand Murong Haiyi's strange way of approaching her, so there was no need to try. When it came to speed, she had unparalleled confidence.

Use absolute speed to suppress techniques!

Yan Ziming wants to challenge and defeat Murong Haiyi in the area where he is proud!

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!"

Amidst a dazzling display of swordplay, Yan Ziming and Murong Haiyi transformed into flowing beams of light, one blue and one gold, weaving through the air like shadows. The relentless, chilling winds and blue-purple lightning formed surging torrents that swept far and wide, vanishing everything in their path as if encountering a spatial torrent.

sizzle-

In terms of close combat skills, Yan Ziming was definitely inferior to Murong Haiyi. His body was cut and even pierced in many places by the White Emperor Sword, and then he was tainted by the previous aura and had his energy drained.

The mark left by the White Emperor Sword on her body was very strange, as if it had grown inside her body, and it couldn't be shaken off by ordinary means.

In response, Yan Ziming learned from his previous experience and used his willpower to suppress the tendency of his internal energy to dissipate. With the Heavenly Punishment erasing the mark, Murong Haiyi lost the means to continue fighting.

Everyone watching felt a chill run down their spines. The duel between these two unparalleled geniuses was truly terrifying. Each of their skills was enough to make others look up to them in the dark. This era was destined to belong to these people; they were all just supporting characters.

"Brother Mu, you are also an eighth-level ability user. Are you confident that you can rival any one of them?"

A member of a prestigious family asked Mu Chenyi, a core member of the Mu family, this question. He was an eighth-level bigwig in the military, with extensive experience and top-notch strength.

But he shook his head. "I have a 40% chance of winning against Murong Haiyi, but against Yan Ziming... I have no chance at all."

"Why do you say that?"

The man found it strange. Murong Haiyi was able to fight Yan Zimo to a standstill on the field, so why was Mu Chenyi's evaluation so different?

"You'll see. Sometimes, talent alone can't make up for everything. Foundation and accumulation are also major factors. When both sides have already revealed their trump cards, the side that still has a trump card to play is the winner."

"..."

boom! ! !

We've broken through!

Yan Ziming's attack speed increased, and he finally crossed the line. Murong Haiyi was unable to block in time and was knocked away.

Furthermore, some observant people noticed that his White Emperor Sword had many small, sand-sized nicks, making it appear quite blunt.

However, Yan Ziming paid a heavy price. She felt that her hands were about to dislocate, the blazing light that was contained on her body was about to burst out, her elemental form was unstable, and light rain kept emanating from her body. This was caused by the vibrational force attached to the White Emperor Sword!

Keng——

In their final clash, Raikiri stuck to the White Emperor Sword, and the two fought together, starting another collision without their master's control.

"Roar--!"

A roar that seemed to come from ancient times emanated from the White Emperor Sword. At the same time, the Thunder Cutter itself became almost transparent, with lightning elements flowing through it, creating a dazzling spectacle.

The weapons of both sides began to engage in a self-initiated battle!

White Tiger versus Mo Xin!

They are all beings similar to artifact spirits, and now they intend to determine a winner!

Yan Ziming glanced at it sideways, then stopped paying attention; she had enough confidence in Mo Xin.

In that fierce attack, the White Emperor Sword was almost dulled to the point of being a kitchen knife, while the Thunder Cutter itself was completely unharmed, clearly demonstrating the superiority of the latter.

The White Emperor Sword excels at shockwaves, while the Thunder Cutter excels at annihilation; each has its own strengths, but once they clash, the White Emperor Sword is clearly the one that is countered.

"Do you have any other cards up your sleeve?"
