Time slowly went by, but Xiao Chen still had not arrived. The cultivators, who originally had some interest and hope, all lost their patience. Several of them even started cursing in low voices.
"What bullsh * t agreement of one year? He is just a coward."
"To think that Bai Wuxue even formally acknowledged him. It turns out that he is only so-so."
"Even if he did not want to come, he could have just sent someone to admit defeat. He made us wait for so long for nothing."
"He has thoroughly embarrassed the Haotian Sect."
When Jun Si and the others on the Profound Sun Bird heard these discussions, they could not help but show even more anxious and unsightly expressions.
Regardless of the reason for Xiao Chen's cowardice before the fight had even begun, the Haotian Sect's reputation had been tarnished.
Jun Si said hesitantly, "First Senior Sister, I think we should discuss this. Dragging this out is not a solution."
Shui Lingling's gentle face remained calm as usual. She said calmly, "Don't worry. Since he promised me that he would return safely, he will definitely rush over."
"Boom!"
Just as some of the Extreme Yin Sect Elders were getting impatient and wanted to announce Xiao Chen's forfeit, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly tore through the sky.
It was like a spear descending. In an instant, it crashed into that bronze bell. Within a radius of five kilometers, the deafening sound of a bell rang out incessantly.
When the bell rang, the rumbling thunder and the deep chime merged together, echoing everywhere and rushing to the clouds.
A figure landed somewhat hurriedly. As he looked at Bai Wuxue, who was in front of the arena, he said calmly, "Xiao Chen has arrived on time for the agreement of one year."
On the Profound Sun Bird, Shui Lingling's pretty face melted like water. An indescribable joy appeared on her face as she smiled and said, "I just knew that he would rush over."
The bell's chime resounded endlessly. The purple lightning that descended from the sky was still very mighty. Arcs of electricity crackled and danced around the ancient bronze bell, showing no signs of stopping.
The moment the white figure appeared, the cultivators hovering in the air a kilometer away from the challenge peak could not help but look over.
"He really made it. He knows that he will lose, but he still dares to come and fight. He has some guts."
"Hehe, he's just asking to be humiliated. What does it matter whether he comes or not?"
"You can't say that. Cowering before a fight and coming as promised are two completely different things. Let me ask you, if we knew that Bai Wuxue could kill half-Sages, would we have the courage to come and fight? "
"That's right. No matter what, I admire your courage."
Xiao Chen's arrival was out of many people's expectations, and the criticism about him lessened by a lot.
Knowing that he would lose, he still dared to fight. This courage earned Xiao Chen a lot of positive evaluations for his victory.
Ximen Bao smiled, and a murderous intent appeared on his face. He said in a cold voice, "I hope that Bai Wuxue can spare your life. Otherwise, this will be too boring."
The top genius of the battle realms, Niu Deng, had a similarly hostile gaze. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he said, "Unexpectedly, you managed to break through to half-Sage in one year. However, you do not stand a chance against Bai Wuxue."
The Passionate Young Master, Murong Lingfeng, and the Full Moon Pavilion's Feng Xingsheng both showed expressions of pity. Xiao Chen managed to break through to half-Sage in one year.
Such talent could be considered top-notch even in the current age of martial artists where heroes were rising together.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen ran into Bai Wuxue. Defeat was certain. It all depended on whether Bai Wuxue was willing to spare Xiao Chen's life or not. Otherwise, if Xiao Chen fell here, it would truly be a pity.
Ordinary cultivators would not be able to see the Heavenly Sage Laws behind Xiao Chen. However, these peak experts could see it with one glance.
Although they could not see it clearly, the fact that Xiao Chen could comprehend Heavenly Sage Laws proved that he was a Martial Sage.
Such a cultivation realm and talent shocked several people. However, they still did not think much of Xiao Chen, as his opponent was simply too horrifying.
He could even kill a Martial Sage. How heaven-defying was he? How demonic was he? So what if Xiao Chen advanced to half-Sage?
Among everyone, only An Junxi, who was on another peak, looked up at Xiao Chen thoughtfully. A strange light flashed in his eyes.
The Extreme Yin Sect elder looked coldly at Xiao Chen and said expressionlessly, "When the bell rings, life and death will be decided by heaven. The duel will begin immediately."
After saying that, he floated away from the mountain peak without saying anything else.
Bai Wuxue wore robes of alternating blue and white. His handsome face was cold, showing neither joy nor sorrow. When he saw Xiao Chen rushing over, his expression did not change at all.
"I haven't seen you for a year, and you've advanced to the Half-Saint Realm. Not bad. Unfortunately, I didn't stop. If I admit defeat now, I can let you live. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop later. "
Bai Wuxue said indifferently as he looked straight at Xiao Chen. He had absolute confidence in his strength.
Xiao Chen's pupils constricted. He smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? In that case, I'll return those words to you. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself."
Bai Wuxue did not get angry. Instead, he smiled. Snowflakes drifted down from the sky for no reason. Soon, a thick layer of snow covered the ground.
"Holy Icy Palm Imprint!"
Bai Wuxue took a step forward and threw a palm strike. A huge icy palm appeared out of nowhere and smashed towards Xiao Chen.
Compared to the Great Icy Palm Imprint of the past, this Holy Icy Palm Imprint seemed more spiritual. It seemed to merge with the world. Xiao Chen looked up.
Amid the snowflakes, he could even vaguely see an ancient Sage sitting in the air. This palm strike came from that Sage and not from Bai Wuxue.
"This is the Extreme Yin Sect's Superior Grade Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. No one has succeeded in practicing it for several hundred years already. It has an extremely high comprehension ability."
"It looks like this Bai Wuxue does not intend to waste time with Xiao Chen. The moment he makes his move, he wants to kill him."
"It's over. Bai Wuxue is too direct. There is nothing to see in this battle."
The moment this palm strike was sent out, it elicited startled cries. Unexpectedly, Bai Wuxue had even succeeded in practicing this move. Shui Lingling and the true inheritors of the Supreme Sky Sect, who were on the Profound Sun Bird, could not help but show nervous expressions.
"Interesting. However, that should not be all you are capable of."
Xiao Chen looked around and made up his mind. His figure flashed as he quickly dodged. The Ice Palm Imprint, which was circulating with holy light, directly cracked the arena with a bang, and the entire mountain top was shaking.
The might of the Holy Icy Palm Imprint was very impressive. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
The palm was like a mountain as it pressed down on the dodging Xiao Chen. The entire mountain started shaking intensely. The arena crumbled into countless shards, filling the air.
The moment it started, the battle spread across the entire mountaintop. The cultivators watching from afar had great foresight.
Before that huge palm, Xiao Chen seemed very insignificant. As he dodged continuously, it was a shocking sight. Every time, he would be nearly suppressed.
After dodging a few times, Xiao Chen found an opportunity. He pushed off the ground and nimbly dodged the Holy Icy Palm Imprints. Then, he soared into the air and charged at Bai Wuxue.
Such an ingenious and nimble movement technique attracted many praises.
However, Bai Wuxue smiled coldly and quickly formed hand seals. His lips curled up in a mocking smile as he said, "I was just waiting for you. Die!"
Suddenly, two incomparably huge icy palm imprints appeared in the air. Then, Bai Wuxue pressed his hands together, looking like two mountain peaks about to merge together. In an instant, they trapped Xiao Chen.
This sudden scene caused many people's expressions to change greatly. Xiao Chen, who was trapped between the two palms, looked very insignificant. There was no chance for him to dodge.
If Xiao Chen got caught between the palms, he would not have a chance to survive. Unexpectedly, Bai Wuxue still had such a trump card.
Just as everyone's hearts leaped to their throats, a majestic and resonant sagely song suddenly rang out. A golden light descended from the sky.
The resonant sagely song recounted the legend of Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen's past deeds materialized into golden scrolls flickering in the sky.
As the sagely song rang out, the gears of time spun. The legend turned into an epic of vicissitudes, then into a glorious myth.
Many people had an illusion. Looking at the picture scroll that flashed between heaven and earth, it was as if they were looking at ancient history and imprints. They felt a sense of worship.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen punched to the sides and infused the legendary energy into his fists. Before everyone's shocked gazes, the two Holy Ice Palm Imprints shattered into ice shards that filled the air.
The ice shards reflected the light of the sun, giving off a multicolored light that formed a dreamy scene. In this scene, Xiao Chen's white robes gave off the feeling of a celestial being in heaven.
"You are not the only one who knows a Superior Grade Heaven Ranked Martial Technique."
Xiao Chen smiled coldly to himself. Then, a clump of electric light burst out from under his feet as he instantly executed Thunder Dragon Steps. Xiao Chen's figure flickered, and he sent out a Radiance of Deities.
The situation instantly reversed. Xiao Chen, who had been fleeing all over the place, actually turned from defense to offense.
Bai Wuxue's face sank. Clearly, he had not expected Xiao Chen to break his Holy Ice Palm Imprint so easily.
When Bai Wuxue saw that majestic, resplendent pillar of light, he stomped on the ground. "Rumble …" Suddenly, a three-kilometer-tall snowy mountain rose behind him. A white-robed Sage sat at the peak of the snowy mountain.
In that instant, this place firmly stabilized. Bai Wuxue did not move his feet at all as he directly threw a palm strike at the incoming pillar of light.
The Sage at the peak of the snowy mountain opened his eyes and sent out a palm strike at the same time as Bai Wuxue's palm strike. It seemed like the two's movements overlapped.
When the Sage made his move, ancient sagely music resounded in the sky, sounding very distant.
Instantly, snowflakes fell from the sky, drifting even faster. There were even several snow tornadoes spinning wildly in the distant sky.
Such a mysterious phenomenon was truly horrifying. The cultivators watching from a kilometer away could not help but move back another five kilometers.
The overwhelming might was as immovable as a mountain.
Bai Wuxue firmly caught this majestic, resplendent light with his palm. His feet did not move at all. He even froze that light into ice, shattering it piece by piece.
"I have obtained the inheritance of the ancient Snow Race. No matter how strong you are, you are just a joke before me."
When Bai Wuxue saw the light turn into ice shards, he could not help but smile cockily when he easily dealt with his startlingly mighty move.
So what if you can shatter my Cold Ice Hand Imprint? You will still be defeated.
However, before Bai Wuxue's smile froze, Xiao Chen had already arrived before him. Xiao Chen did not feel dispirited at having his Deity's Light Imprint dissolved.
All Xiao Chen wanted was to get close to Bai Wuxue. Clearly, he had already achieved his goal.
"Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, tenfold combat prowess, Deities Descending!"
A beam of divine light tore through the barrier of the sky and entered Xiao Chen's body, causing his aura to soar. Everything in the world seemed to want to prostrate in worship.
Before this aura, the snowflakes falling from the sky suddenly froze. It was like time stopped.
Xiao Chen roared ferociously, and a golden light spread out. His white robes fluttered, and his long hair gave off beams of light as he punched.
Bai Wuxue, who had received this move head-on, had not expected Xiao Chen to suddenly bring out tenfold his combat prowess. The snowy mountain behind him started to crumble in an instant. The Sage who was sitting at the peak of the mountain was blown to pieces.
"Break!"
The three-kilometer-tall snowy mountain crumbled, and Bai Wuxue's momentum broke. He went flying back like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he flew back one kilometer and landed outside the platform at the summit.
The snowflakes stopped dancing, and the strong wind stopped howling. Xiao Chen stood calmly on the summit, looking coldly at Bai Wuxue, who was filled with shock and incredulity.
The surroundings were quiet. The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant. Just a few moves had already made everyone's heart surge with excitement. No one had expected such a result.
Unexpectedly, that white-robed brat knocked Bai Wuxue into the air!
