Myth Beyond Heaven-Chapter 2726: Divine Daughter of Darkness (4)

Yun Lintian didn't smile. He adjusted his grip, spear humming with restrained energy.

This wasn't enough.

He needed to go further.

With a sharp exhale, Yun Lintian unleashed his full physical prowess. His muscles coiled, tendons straining as he pushed past his limits.

His next strike was a blur.

Hei Yue's eyebrows rose. She blocked, but the force sent her skidding back for the first time.

Aunt Liu stiffened.

Hei Yue stared at her feet, then at Yun Lintian. Her smile turned dangerous.

"Now that's more like it!"

She shot forward like a bolt of black lightning.

Yun Lintian met her head-on.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Their battle became a storm of steel and shadow. The world around them blurred—space shattered.

Yun Lintian's arms ached but he didn't stop.

Neither did Hei Yue.

Her laughter rang through the chaos, bright and exhilarated. "You're amazing! No one aside from Father can keep up with me like this!"

Father?

The word confirmed Yun Lintian's suspicions.

This girl—Hei Yue—was the daughter of the God of Darkness.

Which meant she was even more dangerous than he'd thought.

But right now, that didn't matter.

All that mattered was the fight.

Yun Lintian's spear became an extension of his will. He stopped thinking, stopped analyzing—just moved.

Hei Yue matched him blow for blow, her sword weaving through the air like liquid darkness.

For the first time in what felt like forever, she was challenged.

And she loved it.

Their clash reached a crescendo.

Hei Yue spun, her sword arcing toward his ribs. Yun Lintian twisted, spear slashing upward—

Clang!

A shockwave exploded outward, hurling them apart.

Yun Lintian stabilized himself and shook the numbness out of his arm slightly.

Hei Yue flipped gracefully, landing light as a feather. Her cheeks were flushed, eyes shining.

"That was fun!" she declared.

Yun Lintian stared at Hei Yue attentively. The battle earlier relied purely on their physiques. The fact that Hei Yue could match his brute force proved that her physique was extremely extraordinary.

After all, one had to know that Yun Lintian's physique was enhanced several times by the Divine Beast bloodlines such as the Primordial Azure Dragon and the White Tiger God.

Hei Yue twirled her silver sword playfully, the blade humming with suppressed power. Her dark blue eyes gleamed with excitement as she pointed the tip at Yun Lintian.

"Not done yet!" she declared, her playful tone laced with something sharper. "That was just warm-up. Now..."

The silver sword suddenly changed.

A swirling dark aura erupted from the blade, devouring the light around it. The air itself seemed to tremble as Hei Yue's divine energy surged—a vast, endless ocean of darkness that made even Aunt Liu take an involuntary step back.

Yun Lintian's grip on the White Dragon Spear tightened.

She's getting serious.

This wasn't just the power of a True God. This was something beyond.

Hei Yue smirked. "Oh, and one more thing—don't hold back anymore. I know you barely used twenty percent of your strength against Aunt Liu earlier."

Aunt Liu's eyes widened. "What?"

Her gaze snapped to Yun Lintian, shock and fury warring in her expression. Twenty percent? Against her? A peak True God? Impossible!

Yet... the way Hei Yue said it—so casually, so certain—left no room for doubt.

Aunt Liu's fingers twitched toward her sword. If this man had truly been toying with her... then he was far more dangerous than she'd imagined. She needed to eliminate him at the first opportunity.

Yun Lintian ignored Aunt Liu's murderous glare. His focus was entirely on Hei Yue.

The playful glint in her eyes was gone.

"Ready?" she asked.

Then she moved.

How fast!

That was the only thought in Yun Lintian's mind as Hei Yue's sword blurred toward his throat.

Even with his heightened senses, he barely registered the attack in time. His body reacted on instinct—White Dragon Spear flashing up to parry.

CLANG!

The impact sent him skidding backward through the void, his arms numb from the force.

Hei Yue didn't give him a second to recover.

She flickered—vanished—and reappeared above him, her dark-shrouded sword descending like a guillotine.

Yun Lintian twisted mid-air, barely dodging as the blade carved a rift in space where his head had been.

Hei Yue was even more faster than before. He knew that he couldn't keep up like this.

Hei Yue landed lightly on nothingness, her sword already whirling into another strike. "Come on, Yun Lintian! Show me your real strength!"

Yun Lintian's eyes narrowed.

Buzz—

Suddenly Yun Lintian unleashed the White Tiger God bloodline. Power exploded through his veins.

Golden-white energy erupted from Yun Lintian's body, forming a phantom image of a colossal white tiger behind him. His muscles swelled, his senses sharpened to an inhuman degree—and most importantly, his speed skyrocketed.

The next time Hei Yue lunged, he was ready.

Their blades collided in a shower of sparks, but this time, Yun Lintian didn't budge.

Hei Yue's eyes lit up. "Now we're talking!"

She attacked again, her sword a black streak in the void.

Yun Lintian met her head-on.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Their battle became a blur of motion—two streaks of light and darkness clashing in the endless black. Every impact sent shockwaves rippling through the Eternal Darkness Realm, distorting space itself.

Aunt Liu could only watch, her face pale.

She had never seen anyone match Hei Yue's speed. Not even the God of Darkness' elite guards could keep up with the Young Miss when she got serious.

Yet this outsider... was doing it.

Yun Lintian's mind was eerily calm.

The White Tiger God bloodline enhanced his reflexes to their absolute limit. Every movement, every shift in Hei Yue's stance, every flicker of her sword—he saw it all.

But it still wasn't enough.

Hei Yue wasn't just fast. Her swordsmanship was flawless. Every attack flowed into the next, no wasted motion, no openings.

And her dark energy...

Yun Lintian barely dodged a slash that would have cleaved him in half. The residual energy from the missed strike tore open a spatial rift behind him.

This isn't sustainable.

He needed to change tactics.

As Hei Yue lunged again, Yun Lintian suddenly shifted.

Space itself bent around him.

One moment he was in front of Hei Yue. The next—he was behind her, White Dragon Spear aimed at her back.

Hei Yue laughed.

Without even turning, her sword flicked backward—clang!—blocking his spear with impossible precision.

"Nice try!" she teased, spinning to deliver a kick that sent him flying.

Yun Lintian flipped mid-air, skidding to a stop. His chest ached from the impact, but he ignored it.

Hei Yue wasn't just strong. She was experienced.

Which meant...

He needed to go beyond!
