Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 153

Liu Ningxian had never encountered anyone who could evade her Divine Striking Technique.

Not only had she never experienced it, but neither had any other practitioners of the Divine Striking Technique.

In their view, such an occurrence was simply too absurd.

After all, their Divine Striking Technique was not only immensely powerful but also incredibly fast.

Once locked onto a target, evading it was supposed to be extremely difficult.

Yet now, Ye Wushuang had just casually dodged her Divine Striking Technique.

No matter how you looked at it, this situation felt utterly ridiculous.

“You… how on earth did you do that? How is your speed so incredible?!”

This point left not only Liu Ningxian feeling bewildered but even the Clan Elder, Liu Ning, was utterly dumbfounded.

Everything had happened incredibly fast, far too quick for the average person to follow their movements.

However, as a Quasi-Supreme expert, Clan Elder Liu Ning had seen everything clearly.

He witnessed Ye Wushuang merely flicker, reappearing in a different spot.

Simultaneously, Liu Ningxian’s Divine Striking Technique completely missed its mark.

That fleeting speed was absolutely not something a Celestial Immortal realm cultivator should possess.

Even a Heavenly Immortal realm cultivator likely couldn’t achieve such velocity.

In Clan Elder Liu Ning’s understanding, only one technique could potentially elevate speed to such an extreme.

That was the ultimate movement technique created by the Divine Dragon Empress, who combined the Kunpeng and Divine Phoenix techniques—a method that reached the pinnacle of speed.

It was said that with this technique, one could traverse an entire Greater World in the span of a single breath.

If anyone mastered it, it was believed no one in this world could stop them.

However, the more powerful the technique, the more difficult it was to cultivate.

Coupled with its immense rarity, he had never allowed the Divine Dragon Empress to disseminate it freely.

Now, witnessing Ye Wushuang’s speed, Clan Elder Liu Ning suddenly felt that Ye Wushuang might have actually mastered this very technique.

This realization shocked him even more.

“Could it be… could it be that Her Majesty imparted that technique to you, and you’ve actually mastered it?!”

“That technique?”

“Correct! I have mastered that technique!”

At first, Ye Wushuang didn’t quite grasp which specific technique Clan Elder Liu Ning was referring to.

After all, the Divine Dragon Empress hadn’t actually taught him any techniques.

But he quickly remembered—Clan Elder Liu Ning must be referring to the Lie Character Secret.

This secret art was something he himself had created during the body-swap with the Divine Dragon Empress, which was why the world believed it to be her creation.

For Ye Wushuang to have mastered it, logically, it would require the Empress’s personal instruction.

This put Ye Wushuang in a slightly awkward position, but he could only claim he had mastered it himself.

Upon hearing his confirmation, Clan Elder Liu Ning was both pained and exasperated.

“To think… to think she would impart such a precious technique to you! Truly, a daughter grown is no longer one’s own!”

“I had explicitly agreed with her that this technique must remain secret, never to be lightly taught. Yet, in the end, she passed it on to you entirely!”

At this moment, if anyone tried to tell Clan Elder Liu Ning that Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress weren’t particularly close, he would refuse to believe it.

After all, what Ye Wushuang wielded were all exceptionally rare and powerful techniques.

And that technique representing ultimate speed was among the most treasured within the Divine Dragon Empire.

For such a precious method to be shared spoke volumes about their relationship.

By now, Clan Elder Liu Ning had practically readied himself for the prospect of their families becoming even more closely intertwined.

Hearing this exchange between Ye Wushuang and Clan Elder Liu Ning, Liu Ningxian quickly caught on.

She knew the Divine Dragon Empress had created an extraordinarily powerful technique based on the Kunpeng method she herself had provided.

However, being in urgent seclusion for cultivation at the time, she never had the chance to see it.

Now, hearing this conversation, she immediately understood that the technique Ye Wushuang used was precisely the one created by the Divine Dragon Empress.

This piqued her curiosity even further.

“So this is the technique Ruyan created? It truly is remarkable!”

“But just how remarkable? I need to test it further!”

“Come, let’s continue our bout!”

Liu Ningxian wanted to gauge the true extent of this technique’s speed.

Therefore, after Clan Elder Liu Ning re-established the protective barrier, their contest resumed.

Knowing Ye Wushuang now possessed evasive capabilities, Liu Ningxian went all out.

In the span of just two breaths, she unleashed over a dozen Divine Striking Techniques.

Each strike homed in on Ye Wushuang, allowing him no moment of respite.

If this were any other Celestial Immortal, or even a Heavenly Immortal expert, they would likely have been pulverized to dust long ago.

The sheer force of the Divine Striking Techniques would have shattered them to pieces.

But with Ye Wushuang, it was entirely different.

Throughout the barrage, Ye Wushuang seemed to vanish from the face of the world.

His speed was simply too fast, making him nearly impossible to track.

In the eyes of ordinary onlookers, there was no trace of Ye Wushuang at all.

Only experts like Clan Elder Liu Ning and Liu Ningxian could perceive his presence.

And the more they observed, the more profound their astonishment grew.

They had never imagined a person’s speed could reach such a level.

It was as if he had completely disappeared from existence, yet simultaneously, as if his presence was everywhere.

He wasn’t in any single place, yet seemed omnipresent.

This was their first glimpse of the Lie Character Secret, the first time this technique had been revealed to others.

It was destined to be a moment they would forever remember.

Liu Ningxian continued her relentless assault for over a dozen breaths, unleashing hundreds of Divine Strikes before she finally ceased.

By then, she had completely exhausted her Heavenly Immortal level power and could fight no longer.

Ye Wushuang’s absolute speed had given him an overwhelming advantage.

If he wished, he could have attacked Liu Ningxian at any moment, catching her completely off guard.

Liu Ningxian was acutely aware of this.

Thus, once her spiritual energy was depleted, she spoke up.

“Enough, I yield. This is utterly monstrous!”

“That extreme speed alone could be considered invincible!”

“Once you mature further, even those who possess Domains might not be your match!”

“Combined with the fact that you yourself possess a Domain, your future is bound to be extraordinarily brilliant!”

“Therefore, I’ve decided to add icing on the cake—I will impart this Divine Striking Technique to you!”

Liu Ningxian’s Divine Striking Technique was a secret art of her sect, traditionally forbidden from being taught to outsiders.

However, in her heart, she had already accepted Ye Wushuang as her disciple.

Moreover, she was deeply curious to see just how far Ye Wushuang would eventually grow.

So, she was willing to break the rules for him.
