With that, the late-stage God King realm expert from the Cao family vanished from his spot, reappearing before Zi Linling.
His speed, though not matching Zi Linling's Illusory Dragon Step, could still be described as lightning-fast.
Spiritual energy surged from his palms, the surrounding air whistling with the force.
Zi Linling's lips curved into a slight sneer, a cold smile gracing her face. "Good speed, but not enough!"
As soon as she spoke, the late-stage God King's palms landed on her.
The onlookers couldn't help but hold their breath for Zi Linling.
They envisioned her delicate body being smashed to the ground, on the verge of death.
Some tender-hearted individuals even closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight.
"Bang!"
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground echoed.
But to everyone's astonishment, it wasn't Zi Linling who fell, but the late-stage God King from the Cao family.
The Cao family's late-stage God King was not only disoriented but also slid three zhang along the ground.
Moreover, landing in a perfect "flat goose landing on sand" pose with his backside facing forward, he ended up with a mouthful of dirt as he slid.
It turned out that the Cao family's late-stage God King's palm strike had only hit a residual image left by Zi Linling.
By the time he realized it, it was too late.
The very instant he struck the afterimage, a jade-like hand appeared on his face.
The jade hand struck with fierce precision, leaving five finger marks on the face of the Cao family's late-stage God King.
This slap was meticulously calculated by Zi Linling, imbued with the subtle force of "four taels deflecting a thousand jin." The Cao family's late-stage God King, who had underestimated her, was sent flying, his momentum undiminished as he skidded across the ground.
His appearance, while pathetic, was also somewhat comical, leaving the surrounding people stunned for a moment before erupting into laughter.
After their laughter subsided, someone couldn't help but exclaim, "She's too strong!"
"Indeed! Is this girl truly at the peak of the Great God realm? How could she send a late-stage God King flying with one slap?" another person seconded incredulously.
"And her speed! It's too fast. I didn't even see her move before the Cao family's late-stage God King was sent flying!" yet another exclaimed.
"Precisely, this girl is truly miraculous. A peak Great God realm expert beating a late-stage God King, this is unprecedented!"
"..."
The laughter and discussions from the crowd reached the ears of the Cao family's late-stage God King, infuriating him.
He sprang from the ground, spat out the dirt from his mouth, and roared at Zi Linling, "Brat, you dare to ambush me! Take this!"
As he finished speaking, he lunged forward again, vowing to kill the brat who had humiliated him with his palms.
Zi Linling let out a cold laugh, her voice laced with sarcasm. "Ambush you? You're not worthy!"
With that, she channeled the strength of her physical body through her legs, waist, shoulders, and elbows, concentrating it all into her delicate jade-like hands.
Then, she struck out with both palms, meeting the incoming palms of the Cao family's late-stage God King.
"Bang!"
Four palms collided, and a massive force exploded outwards from their center, creating layers of shockwaves.
Run!
The onlookers cried out in alarm and panic, fleeing in all directions.
However, their speed was no match for the expanding shockwaves.
In an instant, people were flying everywhere.
Screams, roars, and cries of agony filled the air, interspersed with the thudding sounds of bodies hitting the ground.
In short, though the spectacle was entertaining, the price paid was considerable.
Along with the crowd, the Cao family's late-stage God King was also sent flying.
Having learned from his previous mistake, he was already on guard this time.
Therefore, he didn't end up eating dirt again, but he was still in a sorry state.
Zi Linling, too, was sent flying backward by the shockwaves.
To avoid an unsightly posture, she quickly adjusted her balance while being propelled backward.
After a series of backflips, she landed on her feet, staggered back three steps, and stood firm.
The entire maneuver was undoubtedly more than 9.9 in difficulty, yet it couldn't conceal her unparalleled grace.
The shockwaves finally dissipated, and the "dumplings" had all landed.
The Cao family's late-stage God King coughed up a mouthful of blood with a "poof."
He stared at the woman before him in disbelief, his anger already half extinguished, and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
Zi Linling sneered, "Who am I? Didn't your idiotic young master already label us as spies from the Scarlet Origin Blood Clan?"
The Cao family's late-stage God King's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Are you really from the Scarlet Origin Blood Realm?"
Zi Linling let out a cold smile and remained silent.
"No! You're not!"
The Cao family's late-stage God King shook his head with certainty. "There is no one like you among the geniuses of the Scarlet Origin Blood Realm! Who are you?"
Zi Linling's eyes turned icy as she said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you attacked me! Anyone who attacks me is my enemy! I am never lenient with my enemies!"
As she spoke, a colorful orb appeared in her hand.
This orb was compressed from five elemental laws, an upgraded version of the "Five Spirits Blast."
Zi Linling said coldly, "Go all out! Otherwise, you will never have another chance!"
The Cao family's late-stage God King felt a mortal danger emanating from this orb.
His hair stood on end, and he declared, "In that case, there's nothing more to say!"
He then instructed the other nine God Kings of the Cao family, "Leave one to protect the young master, the rest attack together!"
"Yes!"
The nine God Kings of the Cao family responded. They left a mid-stage God King to guard Cao Chunyu, while the remaining eight stood by the late-stage God King.
They all wore solemn expressions, for the colorful orb in Zi Linling's hand made each of them feel a sense of peril.
Therefore, their pride as God King realm experts was nothing but dog shit at this moment.
"Not bad! You know to unite!"
Zi Linling chuckled mockingly and said, "Attack!"
The nine God Kings of the Cao family exchanged glances, then channeled their spiritual energy into the late-stage God King.
That late-stage God King converted all the spiritual energy into law power, manifesting a massive sword.
