With a swift motion, Yun Lintian channeled his divine energy into the sword, the blade glowing with an intensity that threatened to blind. The air around him crackled with energy, the very essence of the Metal Law surging forth.

"Let's see if your shadow tricks can withstand the might of the Metal Law." Yun Lintian said calmly, his voice echoing through the room.

He lunged forward, his sword tracing a dazzling arc through the air. The blade seemed to cut through the very fabric of reality, leaving a trail of shimmering light in its wake.

Yin Ye, unfazed, raised his hand, and the shadows around him solidified, forming a protective barrier. The barrier, infused with the essence of the Shadow Law, shimmered with a dark energy that seemed to defy all light.

Bang!

The golden sword clashed against the shadow barrier, a blinding flash of light erupting from the point of impact. The room shook violently, the ground beneath them cracking under the strain.

The clash of the Metal Law and the Shadow Law created a chaotic vortex of energy, the two opposing forces struggling for dominance.

Yun Lintian narrowed his eyes, pouring more divine energy into his sword. The golden light intensified, pushing against the shadow barrier with renewed vigor.

Yin Ye, his face set in a grim expression, channeled his own divine energy into the barrier. The shadow energy surged, resisting the onslaught of the Metal Law.

The battle raged on, the two figures locked in a stalemate. The room was filled with the deafening roar of clashing energies, the air thick with the scent of ozone.

Yun Lintian, sensing that a direct confrontation would only prolong the fight, decided to change tactics. He feinted a powerful strike, drawing Yin Ye's attention to his sword. Then, with lightning speed, he shifted his stance, channeling his divine energy into his legs.

He launched himself forward, his body a blur of motion. Yin Ye, momentarily distracted, was caught off guard. Yun Lintian's fist, glowing with golden light, slammed into Yin Ye's chest.

BANG!

The impact sent Yin Ye flying backward, crashing through the wall and into the adjoining room. The sound of shattering furniture and splintering wood filled the air.

Yun Lintian, not giving Yin Ye a chance to recover, followed him through the hole in the wall. He found Yin Ye lying amidst the debris, his face contorted in pain.

"You're not as invincible as you think," Yun Lintian said, his voice cold and resolute.

Yin Ye struggled to his feet, his eyes burning with anger. "You insolent brat!" he roared, his voice echoing through the ruined room.

He could have avoided Yun Lintian's attack, but he found himself unable to transfer to another shadow. The Law of Metal must be restraining him.

He raised his hands, and the shadows in the room seemed to come alive. They swirled and writhed, forming a monstrous creature with glowing red eyes and razor-sharp claws.

"This is your end!" Yin Ye shouted, his voice dripping with venom.

The shadow creature lunged at Yun Lintian, its claws outstretched. Yun Lintian, his expression unwavering, met the attack head-on. His sword flashed, slicing through the creature's body. The creature let out a piercing shriek, its form dissolving into a cloud of darkness.

Yin Ye, seeing his attack fail, growled in frustration. He knew that he had underestimated Yun Lintian. This young cultivator was not just strong; he was resourceful, cunning, and utterly determined.

"How about this?" Yin Ye uttered coldly.

He exerted more strength, channeling it into a final attack. Initially, he hadn't wanted to use his true strength to avoid causing a commotion, but now he had no choice.

The shadows in the room coalesced once more, forming a massive, swirling vortex of darkness. The vortex pulsed with an energy that seemed to threaten to consume everything in its path.

Yun Lintian, sensing the danger, braced himself. He raised his sword, the golden light radiating from it like a beacon in the darkness. He knew that this was it, the final showdown.

He poured all his remaining divine energy into his sword, the blade glowing with an intensity that rivaled the sun.

"Come!" Yun Lintian roared, his voice echoing through the vortex of darkness.

He charged forward, his sword a streak of golden light piercing the heart of the vortex. The vortex shuddered, its hold on reality weakening. Then, with a deafening roar, it exploded, sending a shockwave of energy rippling through the room.

The room was silent, the only sound the crackling of embers from the shattered lanterns. Yun Lintian stood amidst the wreckage, his sword still glowing with a faint golden light. Yin Ye was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, a flicker of movement caught his eye. A shadow detached itself from the wall, its form coalescing into the figure of Yin Ye

"We will meet again, and you will pay for what you have done," Yin Ye stared coldly at Yun Lintian. "But before that, you should enjoy the gift I left for you."

With a final burst of shadow energy, Yin Ye disappeared, leaving only a wisp of darkness in his wake.

The surrounding seal dispersed, revealing the devastating scene. The entire room was blown to pieces.

"Brother Yun!" Huang Ba rushed into the room, shouting anxiously.

Huang Zheng also appeared. He looked around briefly and asked, "The Nine Hells Gate?"

Yun Lintian let out a long breath and nodded. "He called himself Venerable Shadow."

Huang Zheng's pupils shrank. "It's him."

He took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said, "But you are very strong."

Yun Lintian shook his head gently. "He held back."

"Held back?" Huang Ba was confused.

At this moment, several figures appeared in the air behind Yun Lintian. They were city guards, led by a dignified middle-aged man. He scanned the room briefly and fixed his gaze on Yun Lintian.

"You have violated the laws. Come with us," he said coldly.

"Wait…" Huang Ba began to speak but was silenced by Huang Zheng.

Huang Zheng looked at Yun Lintian and said, "I'll contact the old man."

"Thank you, Second Uncle," Yun Lintian responded calmly.

He turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Lead the way."

The middle-aged man glanced at Huang Zheng and waved his hand, signaling the guards behind him to arrest Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian made no attempt to resist and allowed the guards to take him away.

"Second Uncle!" Huang Ba was anxious. He knew how powerful the Divine Light Cousin was.

Huang Zheng frowned and said, "He'll be fine. Let's go."
