Chapter 654: Chapter 407: Superpower ’Illusion and Reality Transformation

"Huh?!!!"

Li Qian, who had been on the defensive against Lin Li, was stunned when he suddenly stopped his assault.

But it didn’t take long for her to understand why.

WHOOSH...

A faint golden Spiritual Light materialized on Lin Li’s right hand as the surrounding air rushed violently toward his palm. The scale of this technique was far greater than before, and the surging currents whipped up a fierce gale across the dueling ring.

The dust on the ring was swept up by the gale, swirling chaotically in the air.

Seeing the cloud of dust flying toward them from the ring, the spectating servants all ducked their heads to avoid it.

A faint golden Spiritual Light flashed in He Manyu’s eyes. An invisible ripple spread out, and the dust blowing toward her and Zhu Xinru settled to the ground as it came within two or three meters of them.

Zhu Xinru watched the turbulent currents on the ring converge in Lin Li’s hand. A Wind Blade, at first no bigger than a finger, rapidly expanded. She turned to He Manyu and asked,

"Ms. Yu, my cousin will have to use her awakened Superpower now, won’t she?"

He Manyu nodded. "Once Miss Li uses her Superpower, the tide of this battle will turn. Barring any surprises, your friend will ultimately fall to her."

"..." Zhu Xinru considered this for a moment. "If my cousin had used her Superpower earlier, it would have been just as you said, Ms. Yu.

But she was just on the defensive against Mr. Lin for a while, and she’s already consumed a great deal of her Spiritual Energy and stamina.

Using her Superpower now might turn things around, but if Mr. Lin can withstand her counterattack until she runs out of Spiritual Energy, then he will be the final victor..."

After hearing Zhu Xinru’s calm analysis, He Manyu thought for a moment and nodded slightly. "That is indeed a possibility, but I have faith in Miss Li..."

While the two were speaking, Lin Li, who had been charging up his ultimate move on the ring, had finally finished his preparations.

Below the ring, the servants’ eyes went wide as they stared at the giant, one-and-a-half-meter-diameter Cyan Wind Blade coalescing in Lin Li’s hand. They all gasped.

"That Wind Blade is huge! If that hits someone, it’ll kill them..." a more timid maid said in fear.

"To condense such a massive Wind Blade at the Second Rank Initial Stage... the Spiritual Energy consumption must be immense! If Miss Li dodges it, it’ll be a tremendous waste," a guard at the Second Rank Initial Stage remarked.

"What kind of thing is that to say? Are you hoping Miss Li gets hit by it? That thing is lethal..." another guard at the Second Rank Initial Stage shot back.

Seeing Lin Li conjure a Giant Wind Blade one and a half meters in diameter, the servants’ lighthearted mood vanished. They were now tense and afraid.

On the ring, Li Qian watched the Giant Wind Blade hovering in Lin Li’s hand. She calmly raised a hand to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear, her pretty face showing no trace of panic.

"Miss Li, if this Wind Blade hits you, you know what will happen. Just surrender!"

Although Lin Li was surprised that Li Qian remained so composed after he had formed the Giant Wind Blade, he proceeded with his original plan to intimidate her.

He hoped to force her to concede and end this duel, which he considered to be no challenge at all.

"Young Master Lin, I know what I’m doing. Feel free to attack!" Li Qian responded to his threat with a confident smile.

’Tsk, this Miss Li is really stubborn! In that case, I won’t bother trying to convince her. Time to show her true despair...’ Lin Li grumbled to himself.

Then, with a wave of his right hand, the lethally sharp, one-and-a-half-meter Cyan Wind Blade shot forward.

SWOOSH.

As the massive Cyan Wind Blade shot forward, it tore through the air with a piercing shriek.

The terrifying force of the attack made the hearts of the spectating servants pound in their chests. Some of the more timid maids even screamed in fright.

Lin Li watched his Giant Wind Blade close in on Li Qian in an instant. But she just stood there, completely still, which made him frown immediately.

This was just a spar; Lin Li had no intention of taking Li Qian’s life. He had assumed that she would dodge after he launched the Giant Wind Blade.

He would then use other techniques to wear her down until her Spiritual Energy or stamina was depleted, securing his victory.

But now, Li Qian was standing rooted to the spot as if she were scared stiff, looking like she was about to let the Wind Blade hit her.

’Is this woman trying to get herself killed?’ Lin Li started to panic at her reaction. If she died, he wouldn’t be entirely to blame, but he’d still feel awful and be plagued by guilt.

Just as everyone thought Li Qian was about to be struck by the Giant Wind Blade, a faint golden Spiritual Light enveloped her motionless form, and her body suddenly turned translucent.

"Eh?!!!"

When Lin Li saw the change in Li Qian’s body, his terrible mood vanished instantly. He knew at once that she was using her Superpower.

SWOOSH.

The lethally sharp Giant Wind Blade passed straight through the chest of the now-translucent Li Qian.
