Soon, Lin Dong brought Ye Linglong to a swamp area surrounded by water elents.
Lin Dong and Ye Linglong hovered side by side in the sky, their gaze locked on a colossal creature in the distance.
It was a nine-star demon king, emitting a chilling pressure that made one’s heart tremble. Its scales glimred coldly in the sunlight, and each breath seed to stir the winds and clouds.
Lin Dong knew well that such an opponent was undoubtedly too powerful for Ye Linglong at this mont. But it was precisely such challenges that could rapidly enhance her proficiency in the "Five Shadows Step" in real combat.
"Linglong, rember, our goal is not to defeat it but to use the ’Five Shadows Step’ to evade its attacks, enhancing our speed and agility."
Lin Dong’s voice was steady and gentle, transmitted into her ears through sound transmission.
His words were like a warm flow, soothing the trace of trepidation in Ye Linglong’s heart.
Ye Linglong took a deep breath, nodded, and her eyes shone with determination.
She knew it was a rare opportunity and a challenge to her limits.
With Lin Dong’s command, she approached the nine-star demon king swiftly like a breeze.
It seed the demon king also sensed the intruder, letting out a roar, its massive body trembling violently, causing the ground to quake.
The battle was about to erupt.
Initially, Ye Linglong seed a bit flustered, facing the nine-star demon king’s storm-like attacks. She had to frequently use the "Five Shadows Step" to avoid them.
But since she wasn’t proficient enough, her speed wasn’t fast enough, she was always struck by the residual power of the nine-star demon king.
Of course, that residual power wasn’t enough to injure her.
But she did look quite pathetic, like being chased away...
However, as ti went by, with each dodge, her understanding of the "Five Shadows Step" deepened.
The coordination between her body and inner Qi was becoming more harmonious.
Lin Dong quietly observed from the side, nodding inwardly.
He knew Ye Linglong was growing rapidly.
"Swish, swish, swish~~~"
As the battle progressed, Ye Linglong’s Five Shadows Step speed beca faster and faster, initially five tis the speed of sound, gradually increasing to six, seven, even eight tis the speed of sound.
Her figure traversed the forest like ghost apparitions, dazzling the nine-star demon king, with each attack missing its target.
Finally, after a brilliant dodge, Ye Linglong’s speed reached an astonishing nine tis the speed of sound, her figure almost transforming into a stream of light, making the demon king completely lose its target.
More surprisingly, Ye Linglong was not only able to move at such speed but also split into five almost indistinguishable doppelgangers, left or right, front or behind, plunging the nine-star demon king into chaos.
The nine-star demon king simply couldn’t discern which doppelganger was real, nor which was her true self.
Every chase led to a doppelganger, and each strike fell on nothingness.
The angry nine-star demon king kept spewing fire, shouting, "Damn human, if you dare, stop running. Like a rat, abhorrent."
"When I catch you, I will tear you apart."
Ye Linglong now was rely at the early stage of Stage Five Grandmaster. Yet, facing a nine-star demon king that far exceeded her, she maneuvered with ease,
"Haha... big guy, wait till you catch , then talk tough."
Ye Linglong’s voice ca from all directions, with so teasing and provocation.
This further enraged the nine-star demon king, spewing fire continuously and roaring, yet never able to touch Ye Linglong’s true self.
Seeing the current situation, Lin Dong knew that Ye Linglong had truly mastered the "Five Shadows Step."
Of course, she still couldn’t unleash the ten tis the speed of sound of the "Five Shadows Step" nor maintain five doppelgangers for several days like Lin Dong.
But now, Ye Linglong could indeed achieve nine tis the speed of sound with the Five Shadows Step, and maintain five doppelgangers for several hours...
This achievent was more than enough!
Nine tis the speed of sound, among grandmasters, was already exceptional.
And maintaining doppelgangers for hours was sufficient for battle.
"Excellent, you have successfully cultivated the Five Shadows Step." Lin Dong’s voice was kind and filled with comndation, his eyes revealed satisfaction with Ye Linglong’s growth.
He slowly turned to the demon king that had lost its value and continued speaking, "This demon king is of no value anymore. Its mission is complete, next, let kill it."
"Let it exert its final warmth."
Its final warmth was of course the five elents energy within it. The five elents energy within the nine-star demon king was not very significant for Lin Dong.
But for Ye Linglong, the help was considerable. It could aid her in significantly increasing her strength.
Lin Dong’s words about killing the nine-star demon king were calm and resolute.
As if stating an established fact.
This, however, incited the nine-star demon king’s intense rage.
Its gigantic body trembled, eyes filled with unwillingness and rage, and it roared at Lin Dong, "You human old fart, how dare you say such words as rely a half-step Earth Realm martial artist?"
The nine-star demon king’s words were full of disdain and contempt, it apparently underestimated Lin Dong’s real strength.
At the mont, Lin Dong appeared as Li Zhaixing, with his cultivation realm level deliberately suppressed to the level of a half-step Earth Realm martial artist. To a nine-star demon king, he seed to be just an insignificant old fart.
However, it didn’t know that Lin Dong’s true strength far exceeded this level, his disguise was rely to hide his identity better.
Facing the demon king’s provocation, Lin Dong did not get angry, his face still maintained a calm smile.
He didn’t reply, simply extended his finger slowly, pointing towards the demon king.
At that mont, the air seed to freeze, all the clamor and unrest beca still.
"Swish~~~" A beam of white light shot out from Lin Dong’s finger, the speed shockingly fast, unimaginable.
This white light pierced through the air like lightning, instantly penetrating the nine-star demon king’s head.
In the demon king’s eyes flashed a trace of astonishnt and fear, but it didn’t even have ti to react before falling under Lin Dong’s formidable power.
It died, its massive body slowly collapsing, stirring up a cloud of dust.
And at the mont of its death, a water attribute water energy, shimring with blue light, floated out from its body.
This water energy, containing the essence and strength of the nine-star demon king’s lifeti, was a great tonic item for Ye Linglong at this mont.
Upon seeing this, Ye Linglong imdiately stepped forward and cautiously absorbed that water energy into her body.
"Boom~~~"
With the integration of the water energy, her strength surged rapidly, breaking through from the early stage of Stage Five Grandmaster to the mid-stage.
Her face was filled with joy; she knew all this was attributed to Lin Dong’s generosity.
"Lin Dong, you’ve been so good to . In the future, I’ll definitely give you ten or eight sons to repay you..." she thought in her heart.
These words, she only thought in her heart. If she were to say them directly, letting Lin Dong hear, Lin Dong might be scared.
Give ten or eight sons?
Is this how you repay ?
Even for Lin Dong, facing so many sons, would surely be a headache.
