Ye Qiao was seized by Yun Dandan and immediately felt an irresistible force crushing her. In an instant, her arms were shattered!
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Ye Qiao's pained screams echoed in the air, chilling listeners!
"Danger!" Ye You's expression changed drastically upon seeing Ye Qiao restrained by Yun Dandan, and he prepared to soar into the sky to rescue her.
"Wait!" Ye Ling immediately grabbed Ye You, stopping him, "This is a trial between Ye Qiao and Yun Dandan. Don't interfere!"
Ye You looked at the suffering Ye Qiao in the sky, anxiously saying, "But she's no match for Yun Dandan right now. If we're any slower, Yun Dandan will crush her to death!"
Ye Ling said, "Trust me, she's not that fragile."
"Really?" Ye You asked, half-believingly.
Ye Ling nodded, "She's my disciple, and I've only just taught her rune knowledge. I have this much confidence."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Ye You gradually calmed down and no longer felt the urge to save Ye Qiao, though her gaze towards the battle in the sky was filled with deep worry.
At this moment, Yun Dandan's face was contorted into a sinister grin, her eyes glowing blood-red. Two massive blood-red hands behind her fiercely gripped Ye Qiao, continuously exerting force, attempting to crush Ye Qiao directly!
After her arms were broken, Ye Qiao gradually managed to endure the pain of the fractured bones. Suppressing her agony, she activated runes, condensing rune chains to entwine Yun Dandan's blood-red giant hands and began to pull outwards.
As the rune chains wrapped around Yun Dandan's blood-red giant hands, the runes on the chains' surfaces lit up with white light, beginning to scorch Yun Dandan's blood-red giant hands!
"Pain, pain, pain!!!"
Yun Dandan cried out in pain and could no longer exert force. Ye Qiao seized this opportunity to break free from Yun Dandan's restraint and simultaneously condensed another rune chain, wrapping it around Yun Dandan's neck.
Numerous runes manifested on the chain, constantly imprinting onto Yun Dandan's skin, sealing her cultivation.
"Let me go!!!"
Choked by the chain, Yun Dandan could no longer focus on attacking Ye Qiao. She grabbed the chain around her neck with both hands, roaring and pulling with all her might, attempting to break the chain!
"You won't escape!" Ye Qiao had finally gained the upper hand, how could she let Yun Dandan break free so easily?
After securing one chain, she swiftly condensed four more rune chains, wrapping them around Yun Dandan's limbs and pulling them in different directions, intending to tear Yun Dandan apart!
In the sky, a dense network of rune chains intertwined. Yun Dandan's limbs, along with the two blood-red giant hands behind her, were all bound and suspended in the air, unable to move.
Ye Qiao managed to catch her breath and quickly mobilized the spiritual energy within her to heal her broken arms.
Her current consumption was also immense. Merely restraining Yun Dandan had pushed her to her limits, let alone delivering a fatal blow to Yun Dandan.
Ye You, watching from the ground, saw Ye Qiao successfully bind Yun Dandan with the chains, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She exclaimed, "She counterattacked?"
She hadn't expected Ye Qiao to be able to counterattack in such a desperate situation and even gain the upper hand!
"I didn't expect Ye Qiao to be able to unleash such powerful rune energy..."
However, as Ye You marveled, Ye Ling's brow furrowed, seemingly worried about something.
Ye You noticed Ye Ling's expression and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what are you worried about?"
Ye Ling said, "Ye Qiao's performance is not as I expected. If she doesn't defeat Yun Dandan within the next minute, the situation might reverse again."
Ye You's heart sank and she asked, "Could it be that Yun Dandan has other trump cards?"
"Mmm..." Ye Ling nodded gravely, "She also has the power of runes within her. Now, Ye Qiao has trapped Yun Dandan with rune chains, seemingly having the upper hand. In reality, Yun Dandan is also continuously learning about runes."
"Once Yun Dandan can wield the power of runes, the outcome of this battle will be unpredictable."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Ye You also realized the seriousness of the situation. She looked at Ye Qiao, who was recuperating in the air, and whispered, "Little Ye Qiao... can you win?"
Half a minute later, Ye Qiao had reattached her severed arms, and Yun Dandan, who was initially immobilized, had begun to struggle. The chains in the sky clanged, accompanied by lightning striking down from the dark red sky, making the surrounding atmosphere extremely tense.
Ye Qiao clearly realized that Yun Dandan might break free from the chains and knew she couldn't delay any longer. She immediately gathered all the spiritual energy within her, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Yun Dandan.
Runes materialized around Ye Qiao, and her entire aura began to ascend.
Seeing Ye Qiao's move, Ye Ling nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Good courage. To go all out at this moment is the only way to gain a sliver of victory!"
Ye You inquired, "Brother, what are Ye Qiao's chances of winning?"
"Around seventy percent." Ye Ling condensed an image of Yun Dandan in front of Ye You using his soul power, simultaneously displaying her internal meridians.
Ye Ling pointed to a red dot at the junction of the two blood-red giant hands on Yun Dandan's back, explaining to Ye You, "Yun Dandan's vital point is here. As long as Ye Qiao uses enough power to destroy her blood core here, she can completely obliterate Yun Dandan."
Ye You glanced at the image before her, then observed Ye Qiao in the air. Seeing that Ye Qiao's aura was also locked onto Yun Dandan's back, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems Ye Qiao has also discovered this. Yun Dandan can't break free from the rune chains yet. Ye Qiao's attack this time should be a killing blow!"
While Ye Ling and Ye You were talking, Ye Qiao had also accumulated all the power within her. Her hands formed a triangle shape in front of her chest, with black light surging at the center.
The terrifying power it emanated was awe-inspiring!
Yun Dandan clearly sensed the fatal danger and began to struggle incessantly, trying to escape this attack.
The chains in the sky clanged. Cracks had even begun to appear on the surface of the chains binding Yun Dandan's limbs, but it would still take over half a minute for Yun Dandan to break them!
And within this half a minute, Ye Qiao's power had been fully charged!
Boom!
At this moment, a streak of blood-red lightning struck Yun Dandan from the sky. Bathed in the lightning, Yun Dandan let out a piercing scream.
"Rune Cannon!" Ye Qiao attacked simultaneously. The center of the triangle formed by her palms shot out black light, piercing through Yun Dandan's chest at a speed exceeding light, creating a massive bloody hole in Yun Dandan's torso!
As the lightning dissipated, Ye Qiao's rune cannon struck the barrier on the edge of the capital, causing the vast barrier to ripple, nearly breaking!
Where the rune cannon passed, space shattered, and spatial storms raged forth.
The sky above the capital fell silent.
Yun Dandan's scarlet eyes became unfocused, and her aura began to rapidly decline.
"She won!" Ye You's eyes filled with surprise as she saw Yun Dandan's aura plummeting at an extreme rate. She almost jumped for joy on the spot.
Seeing the massive bloody hole in Yun Dandan's chest, Ye Qiao in the air also showed a smile of relief. Her entire body relaxed completely, and she could no longer maintain the surrounding rune chains.
The surrounding chains dissipated, and Yun Dandan plummeted from the sky.
Ye Ling watched Yun Dandan fall from the sky, his fists clenched, and gritted his teeth, "Damn it... she's not completely dead!"
