X-Dragon Era

In the past life, when Xin Yun encountered Lan Ya, it was four years from now. Logically speaking, she should have been much more formidable then than she is now, but in fact, she wasn't even as good as she is currently.

Xin Yun had tried to ask her why, but Lan Ya would always just give a bitter smile and refused to say. When pressed, she merely told Xin Yun that a battle had completely shattered her confidence, making her unable to enter her previous combat state, and so her strength had regressed instead of improved.

Xin Yun used to be unable to understand what kind of attack could damage a person to such an extent, but now she understood. Po Kong's attack was the kind that could drive one to despair, the kind that made one lose all confidence.

Indeed, just as the referee had observed, Lan Ya hadn't lost yet, she could still hold on, but that was about it. Besides holding on, what else could she do? The longer she was bombarded, the greater the damage to her, especially when her last reliance was shattered, what was she supposed to feel?

If she had been defeated by someone of equal status, that would have been acceptable, but as the Head of the Institute, over the past four years, Lan Ya had accumulated her own pride. Now... when Po Kong appeared mightily and completely crushed her in both offense and defense, the intense contrast wasn't something an ordinary person could imagine.

One moment she was an Emperor, the next she became a slave. Facing such a situation, 90% of people would choose to take their own lives, simply because they couldn't bear such an outcome. In any world, there are far too many such incidents. It was not easy for Lan Ya to keep on living.

At the beginning, Xin Yun hadn't thought of it, but halfway through, she suddenly realized that the reason Lan Ya never recovered, the reason she ended up in her current plight, was this battle. Therefore... no matter what, she had to stop the match before Lan Ya was completely defeated and rescue her.

Seeing Xin Yun and the two others ignoring the warnings and continuing to charge forward, a servant riding the Green Giant Dragon sneered coldly. With a stretch of his hands, a blue water screen instantly appeared in midair, blocking the trio's path.

Facing such an obstruction, Yi Luo Xiang could completely ignore it. With one flash, then another, in only a few brief moments, she passed through the water screen barrier and sped towards the arena.

At the same time, Yan Qingying suddenly flickered, creating thousands of illusions that swarmed towards the water screen. While being intercepted, her true body, hidden in the void, had already quietly bypassed the water screen and rushed towards the arena.

Seeing that his personal intervention still allowed two of them to pass through so easily, the Qinglong Entourage exploded with rage. Now that there was only one target left, he couldn't afford to be lenient anymore, he had to capture him and hand him over to the Institute's director for punishment.

While contemplating, the servant riding the Green Giant Dragon swung his hand vehemently, and in an instant... countless water spheres appeared from nowhere, flying horizontally towards Xin Yun.

"Bang!" Facing the opponent's attack, Xin Yun didn't dare to be negligent. Acid fog burst forth instantly, concealing everything within a kilometer radius, while at the same time, Yinglong spread his wings and flapped powerfully, shooting straight toward the water screen.

"Woosh..." Amidst a muffled sound, Yinglong instantly penetrated the water screen. Feeling the fluctuations from the water screen, the Qinglong Entourage's eyes sparkled, and with a circle of his hands, the immense water screen instantly shrank, transforming into a gigantic, rapidly spinning water sphere, attempting to trap Yinglong within.

Had it been any other dragon, it might indeed have been ensnared, but unfortunately for him, the Yinglong under Xin Yun's control could wield all types of water. Although he couldn't yet use the opponent's water for his own benefit, escaping wasn't out of the question.

Under Xin Yun's control, in just a moment, Yinglong's body moved nimbly, and in a surge, his slender form instantly slipped out of the water sphere and shot like an arrow toward the field.

"What! How is this possible?" Seeing this, the Qinglong Entourage cried out in shock, hastily following behind Xin Yun, darting towards the arena.

Leaving aside the situation between Xin Yun and the Qinglong Entourage, on the other side... the first to arrive at the scene was Yi Luo Xiang. From a distance... Yi Luo Xiang shouted loudly, "Stop, stop right now, the match is over! She has already lost..."

"Hmph!" Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's scolding, Po Kong just gave her a cold glance, and with a snort, not only did he not stop his attack, he even split off a ray of Sword Qi, howling towards Yi Luo Xiang.

Facing the oncoming, lightning-fast golden Sword Qi, it would have been difficult for anyone else to dodge, but Yi Luo Xiang was different. To counter Xin Yun's Thunderbolt, she had thought of countless methods. Although the golden Sword Qi was fast, it wasn't faster than Xin Yun's lightning, so how could it hit her?

Just as the golden Sword Qi reached her, Yi Luo Xiang flashed instantly, disappearing from the spot. The sharp golden Sword Qi could only slash through the air.

The next moment... Yi Luo Xiang appeared behind Po Kong. As soon as she materialized, she reached out with her right hand and shouted sternly—Soul Impact!

Along with Yi Luo Xiang's cry, in an instant... Po Kong's body trembled imperceptibly, and the Sword Qi was disrupted for about half a second, but that was all. After a brief pause, Sword Qi once again burst forth, but this time, out of the twenty-three Sword Qi rays, three went after Yi Luo Xiang, while the remaining twenty continued bombarding Lan Ya.
