Without giving the crowd any time to be shocked, the talisman crashed into that ice sword. A melodious shattering sound rang out.
The thing that Bai Wuxue's will took shape shattered in half. A purple light flashed.
At the summit of the snowy mountain, Bai Wuxue vomited a mouthful of blood. Before he could express the shock in his eyes, the purple Lightning Talisman struck him.
Electric light burst out, and the light of an immortal will poured out. The three-kilometer-tall snowy mountain directly melted. Shock waves surged, and Bai Wuxue's body flew back five kilometers before crashing heavily into the cliff of a mountain.
With a loud bang, the mountain peak was immediately split into two. The huge mountain peak collapsed heavily towards the ground.
Xiao Chen flew over, and the talisman automatically returned to his sea of consciousness. Then, he swung his saber, and a saber Qi tore through the sky like a crescent moon, directly chopping the falling mountain in half.
Xiao Chen gently drifted over and landed beside Bai Wuxue, who was covered in wounds and coughing up blood. He was in an extremely sorry state.
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber. Then, before everyone's shocked gazes, he kicked out and sent Xiao Chen tumbling down from the middle of the mountain like a sandbag.
When the crowd saw Bai Wuxue being casually kicked away by Xiao Chen like a cripple, they thought about how Bai Wuxue had said that whoever challenged him was unlucky. They could not help but find it ironic.
Who exactly was unlucky? As the crowd watched Bai Wuxue fall, the answer went without saying.
The Extreme Yin Sect elder who announced the start of the duel earlier looked at Xiao Chen with an extremely cold expression. Then, he gently drifted over and caught the severely injured Bai Wuxue.
When this elder saw Bai Wuxue's body covered in wounds and charred skin, his face twitched uncontrollably. Unexpectedly, the top true inheritor of the Extreme Yin Sect ended up like this. Without a month of rest, he would not be able to recover.
"Damn it!"
The elder's face darkened, and a murderous intent flickered in his eyes. As he looked at Xiao Chen, who was halfway up the mountain, the Heavenly Sage Laws behind him could not help but move.
A tremendous amount of spiritual energy flowed like a river and rapidly gathered towards him.
Buzz!
Just as he was about to make his move, a wisp of fiery light streaked across the sky like a meteor, leaving a beautiful trail in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, it fell towards him like a falling star. It was so fast that it could not be described with words.
The old man was startled and quickly withdrew his killing Qi. Then, he hugged Bai Wuxue and pushed off, his figure flashing into the air.
As soon as he took a step forward, the stream of light descended and instantly sank into the ground. A finger-sized hole appeared in the ground. It was so deep that the bottom could not be seen.
Boom boom boom!
Without any warning, after a second of peace, countless spider-like cracks suddenly appeared on the ground, and the entire ground exploded.
Rocks filled the sky and shot out in all directions like sharp arrows. A deep, spiral-shaped crater with a diameter of 500 meters appeared. The power of this arrow was incomparably shocking.
"What is the Extreme Yin Sect trying to do? Are they not going to admit their loss? The rules of the Challenging Peak are set by the Bushin Palace. The disciples of the various sects are free to challenge others. Life and death are up to heaven. Grudges are settled fairly. The elders of the sect are not allowed to make a move. "
Just as the old man was about to lose his temper, a clear and elegant voice rang out. Shui Lingling appeared above him on the Profound Sun Bird. She held up her purple bow and pointed it at him expressionlessly.
The surrounding cultivators could not help but show interested expressions. Was this Extreme Yin Sect planning to go against the world and challenge the rules set by the Bushin Palace?
"Girl from the Haotian Sect, don't be too overbearing. Naturally, the Extreme Yin Sect will not do something so dishonorable. The Extreme Yin Sect can afford to lose, and so can Bai Wuxue."
A loud and clear voice approached from afar. It was a skinny old man walking over with a gloomy expression.
When the cultivators in the distance saw this person's face, they could not help but take a few steps back. A deep fear flashed in their eyes.
"The Extreme Yin Old Man actually came out."
"That is normal. Bai Wuxue is the disciple he is most proud of. How could he not come out after being injured to such an extent?"
"However, Xiao Chen is really surprising."
The Extreme Yin Old Man was an expert of the Tianwu Domain, second only to Emperor Wu. In this era where Emperor Wu was fighting in the Starry Heavens, he represented the peak of the Kunlun Realm.
When facing this person, just a glance from him would cause one to feel immense pressure. Shui Lingling suppressed the panic in her heart and said, "Many thanks for Senior's magnanimity. Xiao Chen, let's return to the Haotian Sect."
Halfway up the mountain, Xiao Chen gently leaped up and landed on the back of the Profound Sun Bird. He discovered that there were many familiar faces on the bird's back.
Aside from Jun Si and the others, Yue Chenxi and Gong Yangyu were among them as well. Xiao Chen looked at their identity medallions. After not seeing them for a year, they had already become true inheritors. It looked like gold would shine wherever it was.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Xiao!"
A few people offered their congratulations, and Xiao Chen responded to them one by one. They were all familiar people, so he did not stand on ceremony.
Shui Lingling looked cautiously at the Extreme Yin Old Man and did not say anything. She controlled the Profound Sun Bird to spread its wings and turn into a beam of azure light, flying far away.
After all, this was the Extreme Yin Sect's territory. While the other party did not dare to play any tricks, there was no guarantee that they would not do something in secret. The earlier they left, the better.
As they watched the group leave, the cultivators who had rushed over to join in the fun all had complicated expressions on their faces.
Originally, they thought that there would be nothing to see in this battle. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be so intense. The process was filled with twists and turns, extremely dangerous. The final result was also unexpected.
Bai Wuxue had brought out the will of ice and launched a great counterattack. Originally, he should have won. Who could have imagined that Xiao Chen would comprehend a will as well?
Furthermore, that will of thunder was much stronger than Bai Wuxue's will of ice. The moment it came into contact, it shattered Bai Wuxue's will of ice.
If the will of thunder was damaged, it would harm the cultivator's foundation. Bai Wuxue's injuries might even affect his cultivation. This was a severe loss.
Of the seven giants, Bai Wuxue was the first to comprehend a will after An Junxi. His future should have been bright.
Bai Wuxue had used this arranged battle with Xiao Chen to use Xiao Chen as a stepping stone, reaching the sky in one step and rising rapidly.
Who could have imagined that the result would be the opposite? Bai Wuxue became Xiao Chen's stepping stone, becoming famous instead.
After today, the name of the White Robed Bladesman, Xiao Chen, would shake the entire Tianwu Domain. He would appear before the eyes of all the major factions, and his fame would catch up to the newly advanced Holy Son, An Junxi.
The crowd slowly dispersed. Soon, the extraordinarily bustling Challenge Peak also slowly dispersed.
The old man hugging Bai Wuxue said with a sullen expression, "First Elder, we are really not satisfied with letting that brat leave just like that."
Many figures landed at the foot of the challenge peak. All of their auras were terrifyingly strong. Unexpectedly, all of them were Superior Grade Martial Sages.
They were all major characters of the Extreme Yin Sect. Any one of them could sweep across the twenty-seven northern provinces.
At this moment, these strong Martial Sages all focused their gazes on the Extreme Yin Old Man. With just a word from him, these people could instantly catch up to Xiao Chen.
They would immediately kill Xiao Chen like he was an ant. They would absolutely not let him leave alive.
The Extreme Yin Old Man glanced at the weakened Bai Wuxue. His emaciated face looked terrifying. He slowly said, "There is no need. That girl, Shui Lingling, definitely has a will clone of the Haotian Emperor on her. Even if all of you go, you will not be able to stop her.
"However, Wuxue is so severely injured. How is he going to participate in the Sage Ranking one month from now? Our Extreme Yin Sect is counting on him to get a spot."
"Indeed. If the two Supreme Elders in closed-door cultivation know that we messed up this matter, they will definitely hold us accountable."
The big shots of the Extreme Yin Sect behind him all chimed in one after another. They were clearly unwilling to accept this outcome.
"Ignorant!"
The Extreme Yin Old Man's face sank as he snorted coldly. When the others felt his rage, they all shut up.
"Even if we kill that brat, will Wuxue definitely get a spot? You don't have to worry about the spot. The will of thunder has a suppressive effect on the will of ice in the first place. It is a good thing that Wuxue is injured. Without destruction, there can be no construction. This matter will make him calm down. "
Without destruction, there can be no construction.
The old man hugging Bai Wuxue thought of something. His expression changed, and he said, "First Elder, are you saying …"
The Extreme Yin Old Man said indifferently, "Coincidentally, Wuxue's will of ice shattered. While it is being reconstructed, I will think of a way to add an attribute into it."
When the others heard this, their eyes could not help but light up. If they could add an attribute into the will of ice, such as light, massacre, ruin, darkness, or destruction, then Bai Wuxue would definitely benefit from this disaster.
This was definitely a blessing in disguise for Bai Wuxue. His strength would increase explosively, and his chances of obtaining a slot would increase significantly.
"However, if one does not comprehend an attribute on their own, forcefully adding it in would be like drinking poison to quench their thirst. It would be a huge obstacle to Wuxue's future growth," an elder said somewhat worriedly.
The Extreme Yin Old Man smiled mysteriously and said, "I have my own ways. Just wait and see. What does one arranged battle count for? The most important thing is who has the last laugh."
The azure Profound Sun Bird pierced through the clouds in the gorgeous sky and a gentle breeze. Xiao Chen stood on the Profound Sun Bird and casually chatted with his junior brothers and sisters from the Haotian Sect about their experiences in the past year.
From the time they set out from the Haotian Sect to the time they entered the Savage Forest, one year seemed very long. However, to Xiao Chen, it felt like it was just a thought.
This feeling became even more intense when he told others about it. It gave him a comprehension of the Great Dao, of how time flies.
There would be many more years like this on the path to the peak. Be it bitter cultivation or searching for fortuitous encounters, one hundred years might be but a flick of a finger.
After the Profound Sun Bird flew for two days, it stopped in a provincial city with a transportation formation. Then, Shui Lingling spent a large sum of money to transport the group to the Haotian Province.
The familiar silhouette of the Haotian City appeared in Xiao Chen's vision once again. The group bade each other farewell, and Xiao Chen prepared to return to his residence to rest.
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, wait for a moment."
Shui Lingling, who had not spoken along the way, smiled gently and called out to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the other party. He said, "First Senior Sister, you are looking for me."
At such a close distance, Xiao Chen did not dare to look at Shui Lingling directly. This gentle girl had an indescribable charm.
Shui Lingling nodded and said, "Wait for a moment. I'll bring you to a place. The First Elder of the inner sect wants to meet you."
As long as the Sect Masters of the various sects had the same cultivation as Emperor Wu, they would travel the starry heavens and adventure in the depths of the universe, searching for fortuitous encounters that belonged to them.
