The icy Quintessence drifted out as the bell chimes rang. The temperature in the air plummeted, and frost quickly spread out on the ground.
Several cultivators felt the cold Qi penetrate their bones, as if it was about to enter their hearts. They were startled and quickly circulated their Quintessence to block it.
As the bell chimed, the cold Qi surged out in waves. The Haotian Sect inner sect disciples with lower cultivations paled. Horror filled their eyes as they retreated, not daring to get too close to the combat bell.
"What a horrifying state of ice! They are the people of the Extreme Yin Sect!"
The casual display of the newcomers allowed the crowd to guess their identity. Their eyes filled with doubt.
The Extreme Yin Sect was very strong. There were two Emperor Wu in the sect. Among the Nine Ranks of the Great Families, they were considered peak existences. In terms of overall strength, they were much stronger than the Haotian Sect and the Full Moon Pavilion.
"The bell has rung. Xiao Chen, you cannot leave!"
Xiao Chen stopped and said with a grave expression, "Wan Feng!"
The person who arrived was the Extreme Yin Sect's Wan Feng. However, what made Xiao Chen's expression turn grave was not him but the youth beside him.
The young man was dressed plainly, and there was a faint smile on his face. However, his face looked like a block of ice that wouldn't melt in a thousand years. His smile didn't have the slightest bit of sunshine, which made it even more strange.
Xiao Chen could not figure out this youth's cultivation. It seemed to be much higher than Hu Hai's.
"The top true inheritor of the Extreme Yin Sect, one of the seven giants, Bai Wuxue. Unexpectedly, he is here as well."
Finally, someone recognized that youth. Their eyes filled with astonishment. This was a person who was as famous as their First Senior Sister.
Even the calm blue-robed administrator was moved. He said, "Bai Wuxue, are you here to ring the bell as well?"
The corners of Bai Wuxue's lips curled up slightly. He said indifferently, "No, I do not think that I can defeat Shui Lingling. I am just here to see what kind of person can make my Little Junior Brother work so hard."
"I remember now. The person who rang the bell is called Wan Feng. Like Bai Wuxue, he is the Extreme Yin Old Man's final disciple. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen even offended him."
"I'm afraid this is not going to be easy. Our Haotian Sect's reputation is going to suffer."
"That Wan Feng is already a peak early-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarch. Furthermore, he has taken the Extreme Yin Old Man as his master. Aside from the true inheritors of our Haotian Sect, no one should be able to defeat him."
The people below whispered to each other as they looked at Xiao Chen. They could not help but feel a little worried for him.
Earlier, when Xiao Chen faced off against Qiu Yi, no one had been so worried. After all, Xiao Chen's strength was clear for all to see. Xiao Chen's chances of victory were at least fifty-fifty.
However, now, his opponent was Wan Feng, the Extreme Yin Old Man's final disciple. Everyone felt that Xiao Chen's chances of victory were not high.
Yue Chenxi and Gong Yangyu also revealed worried expressions. Back in the Sky Dome Realm, the two of them had personally experienced Wan Feng's strength.
"Xiu!"
Wan Feng gently leaped up and landed on the arena. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen and smiled. He said in a cold voice, "Xiao Chen, I have to thank you. Without the pressure you gave me, I would not have improved so quickly in such a short time."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said indifferently, "There is no need to thank me. I will help you again today."
The battle of words quickly escalated to a clash of auras. Wan Feng's expression turned cold. He wanted to suppress Xiao Chen with his aura first.
A cold wind howled behind Wan Feng. His aura was like a snowstorm as it surged towards Xiao Chen. Snowflakes seemed to fall in the air.
For some reason, the temperature in the arena dropped by a hundred degrees Celsius. A layer of hard ice formed on the ground, spreading up from Xiao Chen's feet.
Xiao Chen gently raised his right foot and stomped down ferociously. "Ka ca! Ka ca!" The hard layer of ice on the arena suddenly shattered.
They turned into ice shards that filled the sky and danced in the air. Under the direct sunlight, they flickered with an icy light. They looked like dazzling pearls.
Xiao Chen activated the ancient sovereign's bloodline in his body. A vast, drawn-out, ancient aura burst forth and turned into a strong wind.
That gust of wind seemed to have traveled through time, blowing over from the ancient times. The ice shards dancing in the air were injected by the strong wind.
As it spun, it pierced through the air. This beautiful object had turned into a sharp killing weapon as it rained down on Wan Feng.
Wan Feng was astonished. He had not expected Xiao Chen to be so incredible in a clash of auras, surpassing him.
Seeing the ice shards flying at him, Wan Feng took a step back and threw a palm strike. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
Shattering sounds filled the air, resounding endlessly. The force of this palm strike shattered all the ice shards into powder. Xiao Chen's sovereign's aura was also completely nullified.
Xiao Chen had burned half of his Vital Qi to deal with Qiu Yi earlier. So he did not have any intention of continuing with the Burning Heaven Fist.
Standing on the Blue Dragon image, Xiao Chen leaped up and passed through the ice shards filling the air. Then, he executed a tyrannical Berserk Dragon Fist at Wan Feng.
Wan Feng smiled coldly to himself. He did not panic. He tilted his body slightly and used his palm as a saber. Then, he chopped down at the roaring Blue Dragon.
A smooth crack appeared on the Blue Dragon image formed by Quintessence, and it immediately crumbled.
After gaining the upper hand in one move, Wan Feng made a strong counterattack. He circulated his ice Quintessence and sent out three palm strikes, knocking Xiao Chen back and regaining the initiative.
"Xiao Chen, it looks like your physical body is only so-so. Draw your saber. Today, I am already extraordinary. It is not something you can imagine, "Wan Feng said proudly after he knocked back Xiao Chen.
The Blue Dragon sank slightly and landed firmly on the ground with Xiao Chen. Wan Feng had burned half his Vital Qi, so its might had decreased. Furthermore, he did not want to show off too much in front of Bai Wuxue, so he held back.
Xiao Chen flipped his left hand and summoned out the Lunar Shadow Saber. He smiled faintly and said, "You are not the only one improving in this world. In that case, let me see how extraordinary you are."
Wan Feng looked at Xiao Chen, who had taken out the Lunar Shadow Saber. He smiled sinisterly and said, "Don't disappoint me, White Robed Bladesman."
"Flower Cage!"
Wan Feng spread out his fingers and gently patted at Xiao Chen. A flower image embedded into the ground appeared on the arena below Xiao Chen's feet.
When Xiao Chen felt a strange energy flowing in the ground, his expression changed slightly, and he leaped up.
Wan Feng smiled faintly and pulled with his right hand. The ice flower image on the ground suddenly emerged and turned into a huge ice flower.
The layers of ice petals were a hundred meters wide. They looked like a huge mouth biting at Xiao Chen in the air.
It looked like this Wan Feng had learned a new Martial Technique in the Extreme Yin Sect. The last time Xiao Chen fought with him, he had not seen such a strange Martial Technique.
The flower soared into the air. There was even a stalk attached to the ground. From a distance, it looked like a real flower dancing in the wind.
The surrounding cold Qi slowly gathered, and the stalk grew longer. The flower chased after Xiao Chen, biting at him continuously.
No matter how Xiao Chen dodged, he could not shake it off. Wan Feng smiled faintly and pushed off the ground. He turned into a white figure charging at Xiao Chen. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
Wan Feng's palms were transparent like ice, flickering with a faint cold light. He sent out three palm strikes, trying to block off Xiao Chen's path of advance.
Every single palm wind formed an ice storm in the air. As the storm howled, it seemed as if it could shatter mountains.
"What a powerful ice Quintessence! He truly lives up to his reputation as the Extreme Yin Old Man's disciple."
When the surrounding Supreme Sky Sect disciples saw Wan Feng send out three palm strikes, they were flabbergasted. Wan Feng could condense his ice-attributed Quintessence to such a level.
Even the peak disciples of the Extreme Yin Sect would find it hard to do so. Only the disciples of the Extreme Yin Old Man could do so.
While others could not avoid the ice storm, Xiao Chen did not feel much of it. He was a bladesman. With the support of his saber intent, he had never been afraid of such a head-on clash.
In the past, when Xiao Chen had a perfect sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent, he did not fear such a Quintessence storm. Now that his saber intent had reached Great Perfection, he did not care about it.
"Xiu!"
Electric light flickered. Xiao Chen only used his sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent to send out three saber strikes, sending out three strands of purple saber Qi. The saber Qi was like a saber cutting through the sky, splitting the three Quintessence storms in half.
The storms shattered and turned into countless snowflakes drifting away.
Wan Feng's face filled with shock. He had not expected Xiao Chen's saber intent to improve so quickly. It was completely different from when he was in the Sky Dome Realm.
However, this was within Wan Feng's expectations. Seeing Xiao Chen break the three storms, Wan Feng's figure flashed backward. Then, he spread open his palm and smashed down.
"Cold Yin Palm!"
The drifting icy Spiritual Energy in the air condensed into a huge palm. Then, it pressed towards Xiao Chen.
The palm contained the Extreme Yin Sect's special state of ice. The surrounding Yin and Yang were out of balance, and the Yang-attributed energy was continuously squeezed out.
The Yang-attributed energy formed clumps of Yang flames that shot into the surroundings like arrows. When the Yang flames landed on the ground, they blasted open deep pits.
Some of the unlucky Haotian Sect disciples were struck by the Yang flames and vomited mouthfuls of blood, startling the others.
Xiao Chen's expression turned grave. This palm strike was Wan Feng's consummate technique. It looked like Wan Feng was determined to force him into the ice flowers chasing after him.
However, this palm strike was still somewhat lacking. "Four Season Saber Technique, Cycle of Seasons!"
All sorts of mysterious phenomena materialized around Xiao Chen — spring, summer, autumn, and winter. There was the flowing water of spring, the blazing sun of summer, the rustling autumn wind, and the merciless winter snow.
The various scenes materialized the cycle of the four seasons, the cycle of life and death.
"Bang!"
The saber light clashed with the ice palm in the air, producing a surging shock wave that spread out in all directions.
When the boundless power of seasons clashed, the Cold Yin Palm that Wan Feng placed his hopes on turned into ice shards and scattered.
Seeing Xiao Chen's relaxed appearance, Wan Feng felt frustrated. He could not understand why, even though his cultivation had soared and he had learned a Secret Technique, he still could not do anything to Xiao Chen in the end.
Furthermore, the gap between them seemed even wider than when they were in the Sky Dome Realm. In the past, Xiao Chen had to pay full attention to Wan Feng. Now, Xiao Chen did not care at all, appearing relaxed.
The two fought intensely in the air. The result was somewhat surprising.
Wan Feng, who had arrived with a surging momentum, used all his moves, sending out all sorts of strong Martial Techniques. However, he still could not do anything to Xiao Chen.
The White Robed Bladesman in the air stood on a Blue Dragon image. As it moved up and down, it broke Wan Feng's killing moves one by one. It seemed like he still had energy left over.
