The situation made Leng Leng frown. She was also thinking of retreating in order to advance. After all, her strength was at a disadvantage. This was the most reasonable choice for her, but she did not expect Xue Jianfeng to be so calm.
In the silent confrontation, the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive and tense. If one's willpower was slightly weaker, even a simple bystander would feel suffocated, let alone the two people who were confronting each other in the field.
The longer the confrontation, the greater the pressure. When it reached a certain point, the pressure was enough to crush one alive. In the end, one would even lose the courage to attack and become a real defeated soldier.
Of course, this was definitely not Xue Jianfeng's plan. What he wanted was not just a victory, but Leng Leng's life. If he really forced Leng Leng to admit defeat, it would be a complete failure for him.
Finally, after the two of them confronted each other for the time it took to burn a stick of incense, Leng Leng finally took the initiative to move.
One step, two steps, three steps. With every step she took, her speed suddenly increased. After ten steps, not only did her speed increase to the extreme, even her aura had also climbed to the peak.
"Smart!" Xin Yijie's eyes lit up. The others did not understand it, but he understood the deep meaning behind it.
Lin Yi nodded as well. Coold was indeed very smart. The confrontation just now wasn't a good thing for her. Due to the difference in strength between them, it was impossible for her to be more composed than Xue Jianfeng. On the contrary, it had unknowingly worn down his most important drive and confidence, to the extent that he had already lost before he even made a move.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the advantages and disadvantages. Naturally, Leng Leng herself was clear about it. However, this was her established strategy. She could not mess up the moment she started. Therefore, even if she had to bite the bullet, she could only confront Xue Jianfeng. When she reached the limit of her endurance for the time it took to burn a stick of incense, she did not rashly make the first move. Instead, she came up with this method to regroup herself. In just ten steps, she had regained the peak aura she had when she fought with her opponent!
To be able to do this under such huge pressure, Leng Leng was indeed not simple. If it was someone else, it would be hard for them not to collapse on the spot, just like Lie Yingzu who made a fool of himself in the previous round.
"Hmph, you're quite something." Xue Jianfeng was also very surprised, but he immediately sneered disdainfully, "Even so, it's still a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Can you stop it?"
Although Coold Leng's performance was eye-catching, it could not change the fact that she was forced to make a move. In terms of strategy alone, she had actually fallen into a passive position.
In the face of an opponent like Xue Jianfeng, it was obviously unrealistic to strike first. Even if Coold had recovered to her peak condition, the series of attacks that came head-on could not hurt Xue Jianfeng at all. Xue Jianfeng did not even unsheathe his sword as he easily dodged all of her punches and kicks.
This formed a sharp contrast with the previous battle between Leng Leng and Lie Yingzu. The same attack made Lie Yingzu breathless until he was finally defeated. But now, it didn't cause any threat to Xue Jianfeng. This was the huge gap in strength.
"You're being praised to the point of being a god. Could it be that you only have this much? Isn't this a little too disappointing?" Xue Jianfeng mocked.
Leng Leng ignored him and continued to attack ferociously. Even though she knew that she could not hurt her opponent, she did not have the slightest intention of giving up.
"I know, she's trying to form a Snow Form!" Someone among the spectators finally came to a realization. Xue Jianfeng's series of dodging movements were undoubtedly elegant and calm, but at the same time, it also gave Leng Leng the opportunity to form a Snow Form easily. After the previous two rounds of competition, everyone had a deep impression of the strength of the Snow Form.
"Are you stupid? What's the use of forming a Snow Form in front of Xue Jianfeng? " Someone immediately retorted. In terms of controlling the fire of the Snow Form, Xue Jianfeng was definitely far more experienced than Leng Leng. Using the Snow Form to deal with others might be useful, but to use it against Xue Jianfeng, it was simply showing off in front of an expert. Perhaps one would even shoot oneself in the foot.
"That's right. Moreover, Leng Leng has the Shattered Ice Physique. Why would she need to put in so much effort to form a Snow Form?" Someone else chimed in.
After all, in terms of restraining effect, the Shattered Ice Physique was far more unique than the Snow Form. Moreover, it was more difficult to defend against. If Leng Leng really did that, she would be neglecting the essentials. She would not do such a meaningless and stupid thing.
"However, if it's not for forming a Snow Form, then what is she doing now? Is she just struggling in vain?" Everyone had a puzzled look on their faces.
They did not know the true strength of Xue Jianfeng. From their point of view, although Leng Leng had just achieved a breakthrough, she was still a prodigy with the Shattered Ice Physique. Moreover, she had also created a legend of one breakthrough after another. Therefore, she must be at the same level as Xue Jianfeng.
Even if Leng Leng was slightly weaker in terms of strength, the difference would not be too huge. It was impossible for her to be so powerless in the current situation where she could not even touch the corner of Xue Jianfeng's clothes, right?
No one would believe such a thing, except for Xue Jianfeng himself. Although he had yet to fully display the true strength of an early-stage Gold Core cultivator, even so, he was not a match for an ordinary Foundation Perfected disciple. It was more than enough to deal with Leng Leng's level of attack.
Just like that, Leng Leng had continuously attacked Xue Jianfeng for twenty times. Xue Jianfeng was still unscathed. Just when everyone thought that he was going to continue dodging in a playful manner, he suddenly unsheathed his Snow Sword. His first move was the Snow Sword Sect's iconic Snow Form!
"Hmm?" Xin Yijie's expression changed. Although Xue Jianfeng did not display his strength of an early-stage Gold Core cultivator, and the others did not notice anything unusual, Xin Yijie was an early-stage Gold Core expert. He could more or less sense something unusual, but he could not react in time.
"This guy is really full of confidence." Lin Yi could not help but laugh and shake his head. Xue Jianfeng's Snow Form was indeed very sudden. In terms of power, it was considered top-notch among the Foundation Perfected level. An ordinary person would not be able to withstand it. However, he was facing Leng Leng after all. Was this an ordinary opponent?
Sure enough, Xue Jianfeng revealed his killing intent at this moment. However, Leng Leng seemed to be prepared for it. She had already retreated a moment before Xue Jianfeng struck.
Xue Jianfeng was slightly stunned. He seemed to be a little surprised. The Snow Form was a technique that could easily reveal its flaws. His stunned reaction made the flaw even more obvious.
"Good chance!" The spectators' eyes lit up.
