When Zhuo Wanlian clearly saw the person in front of him and personally sensed the incomparably pure chill coming from Yuan Lixun's body, he was extremely shocked. It was as if he had been struck by a Body Immobilization Spell. He was instantly dumbfounded.
He stood there like a fool, as if he had lost consciousness. He could no longer believe his eyes and senses.
Not long after Zhuo Wanlian became a fool, two more figures arrived.
These two people's gazes swept over He Yiming and the others, and immediately revealed looks of joy.
He Yiming nodded at them and asked with a smile, "Martial Uncle Yu, Elder Lu, why have you come down the mountain?"
They were Yu Jinglei and Lu Zhengyi from the Hengshan branch.
Yu Jinglei laughed uproariously. He stared at He Yiming with a strange light in his eyes as he said in a clear voice, "Elder He, congratulations, congratulations."
He Yiming was startled, but he immediately understood that Yu Jinglei was congratulating him on his promotion to One-Line Sky.
"Impossible, this is impossible …" Zhuo Wanlian muttered.
Zhuo Wanlian muttered softly. He didn't seem to notice He Yiming or 108. Instead, all his attention was focused on Yuan Lixun.
After being influenced by him, Yu Jinglei and Lu Zhengyi finally turned their attention to Yuan Lixun. Then, their eyes slowly widened.
When Yuan Lixun came to Hengshan in the past, although her cultivation in the martial way wasn't high, she was still very strong. There were many sixth stage inner force cultivators in Hengshan, so she was not eye-catching at all.
However, she had another identity that no one in Hengshan dared to ignore.
She was He Yiming's concubine and the only woman by He Yiming's side. Even the Medicine Man, the master of Spiritual Medicine Peak, would smile kindly when he saw her.
Yu Jinglei and Lu Zhengyi were respected in Hengshan, so they had seen Yuan Lixun a few times. Because of He Yiming, they naturally remembered this woman.
However, in their memories, when He Yiming brought her down the mountain, Yuan Lixun's cultivation was not even at the seventh stage of inner force. But now, it had been less than a year …
Lu Zhengyi rubbed his eyes. He was finally sure that he was not mistaken. It was indeed this woman, the woman who had been following He Yiming around Hengshan.
However, Lu Zhengyi suddenly shivered as he felt the unusual cold air around him.
This was the Cold True Qi emitted from her body, but this Cold Qi was so strong that even he couldn't bear it.
The bone-piercing numbness that came from his hands and feet made him want to turn around and run away.
Although this thought was forcefully suppressed by him as soon as it appeared, one could imagine how turbulent the shock in his heart had become.
Suddenly, Yu Jinglei waved his sleeves, and a strong force of life burst out.
This was the strongest peak power that he had cultivated for more than two hundred years. With his status, he shouldn't have bothered with Yuan Lixun, but after feeling such a powerful cold Zhen Qi, it actually aroused the curiosity in his heart.
He wanted to see how strong Yuan Lixun was.
Zhuo Wanlian finally returned to normal. After Yu Jinglei released the strong True Qi of Wood, he hesitated for a moment but did not stop him. Instead, he watched carefully from the side.
He Yiming let go of Yuan Lixun's hand and gave her an encouraging look. Then, he took a step back, leaving her to confront Yu Jinglei alone.
Yuan Lixun was shocked at first, but then she seemed to understand He Yiming's meaning. She gritted her teeth and looked around, revealing an unprecedented heroic spirit.
When a person's strength was greatly improved, those feelings of weakness and fear would gradually decrease or even disappear. Even in the face of great figures that they could only dream of in the past, they would still show a strong side.
He Yiming was like this, and so was Yuan Lixun.
Under Yu Jinglei's strong True Qi, she did not hold back and released all of her True Qi.
Suddenly, everyone present seemed to have a strange illusion.
Around Yuan Lixun's body was the harshest of coldness. The world of ice and snow was a vast expanse of whiteness. Everything in the world no longer had a trace of life.
A power that represented death spread out with her as the center.
Zhuo Wanlian's eyes flickered. He looked at Yuan Lixun with a strange light, as if he was looking at a piece of jade that had yet to be carved. He was full of expectation and appreciation.
Not far from Yuan Lixun was Yu Jinglei, who was full of vitality.
The old man had cultivated the wood attribute cultivation method for more than two hundred years. In addition, he also had the experience of several epiphanies. His attainments in this attribute were so profound that even He Yiming could only hope to catch up to him.
Of course, different people had different physiques. He Yiming's understanding of the True Qi of Wood might not be as good as his, but if the two of them fought with True Qi of Wood, it would be hard to tell who would win.
Even though it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and Yuan Lixun had added fuel to the fire, this place was already in an extremely cold environment. However, around Yu Jinglei's body, there was a strong and tenacious life force. It slowly spread out in all directions, as if it was gaining a wider range of influence.
In this range, the deathly silence seemed to have disappeared. It was replaced by an aura that made people full of vitality.
In a trance, everyone seemed to see a towering tree standing in this world of ice and snow. Moreover, it was getting bigger and bigger, taller and taller, as if it was going to break through the sky, as if it was going to turn this icy plain into its territory.
Zhuo Wanlian's eyes finally revealed a trace of horror. Although he lived in the same place as Yu Jinglei, they had never fought before. They had only met and greeted each other.
In fact, when one's cultivation reached their level, there would be one or more powerful forces behind them. Therefore, unless they had absolute confidence, they would not casually fight with each other in One-Line-Sky.
In the past, when Zhuo Wanlian had met He Yiming, he had used the excuse of avenging his Junior Brother to make a move because he had absolute confidence that he could defeat He Yiming, who had just entered the One-Line-Sky Realm. However, He Yiming's technique was too strange, which had caused him to suffer a small loss.
Zhuo Wanlian estimated that although Yu Jinglei was strong, he might not be much stronger than him. However, when Yu Jinglei released his powerful aura, he realized that the old man's strength was far beyond his own. At this moment, he deeply doubted the old man's strength and wondered if he had reached a higher level.
However, what really shocked everyone was not Yu Jinglei's powerful aura, but Yuan Lixun's frost-based vital energy.
The difference in strength between the two of them was obvious at a glance.
No matter how strong the Hundred Scatter Sky was, it could not be compared to the One-Line-Sky Realm. However, when Yu Jinglei released his wood-based aura, which surpassed the Hundred Scatter Sky, he could not suppress Yuan Lixun's frost-based energy.
That frost-based energy was so dense that it could not be dissolved. The two forces were locked in a stalemate, but it was impossible to determine who was stronger.
Everyone present knew that if Yuan Lixun and Yu Jinglei's strength were comparable, Yu Jinglei would have been frozen into an ice man.
The same thought flashed through everyone's mind. What kind of frost-based energy was that? Why was it so strong?
Suddenly, a figure flashed and appeared in front of Yu Jinglei.
One punch …
That punch, which was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, streaked across the air and headed straight for Yu Jinglei's head.
It was simple, without any fanciful moves. It was only fast and heavy.
As fast as lightning, as heavy as Mount Tai!
Yu Jinglei's expression finally changed. Although the confrontation between his and Yuan Lixun's aura felt very fierce, both parties were still holding back and would not really determine who was the winner.
However, this punch was different. When the punch was thrown, he even felt as if he was facing death.
Instantly, the old man's skin shrank at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, it had dried up. At the same time, he raised his hand and blocked the punch's path.
Innate Withered Wood Technique …
A loud bang was heard. Yu Jinglei's face flashed with disbelief. An intense pain came from his arm.
The strength of his opponent's punch was far beyond his imagination. Even with his strength, after receiving this punch, the pain was bone-piercing. Even with his Innate Withered Wood Technique, he was still unable to prevent this powerful force from causing damage to his body.
He could no longer care about his face. With a slight push of his feet, he retreated like a big bird.
Although Yu Jinglei's lightness technique could not be compared to He Yiming who had comprehended the true essence of the Wind Force, the One-Line-Heaven expert would not be too bad.
However, just as he retreated, the figure was like a maggot attached to a bone, pouncing on him like a shadow.
A punch, the same punch once again came over like a bolt of lightning.
Yu Jinglei's eyes flashed. He took a deep breath. The shock in his heart was far from being described with words.
He had already felt extreme pain when he exchanged a blow with this person. Could it be that this person did not feel anything from the rebound of his Innate Withered Wood Technique?
What kind of person was this …
His heart skipped a beat. He had already retreated to where Zhuo Wanlian was standing.
This One-Line-Heaven expert from the Northern Ice Fields was thinking about something. He was actually looking at Yuan Lixun in a daze.
Suddenly, he felt Yu Jinglei's aura change drastically. He flew past him like he was flying. At the same time, a metal-colored fist swaggered over.
Although this fist was not aimed at him, he still snorted angrily. He raised his palm to block it.
Perhaps, there was a sense of pride in his heart. He wanted to prove something with this palm.
The cold attribute vital energy in his body surged wildly. Although it was inferior to Yuan Lixun's cold attribute vital energy, it was far superior in terms of quantity.
More than a hundred years of cold energy condensed in his palm. He had firm confidence. Even if his vital energy was not as sharp as the opponent's, with the help of this cold energy, he would definitely be able to make the opponent suffer a great loss.
However, when the fist and palm collided in the next moment, his expression changed greatly. He let out a strange cry and flew back at a speed faster than Yu Jinglei.
The opponent's strength was simply unimaginable. It had already broken everything he had seen and heard before. Even his master, in terms of pure strength, might not be able to reach such a shocking level.
Moreover, the cold energy that he was so proud of had no effect on this person.
This person's movements didn't pause at all. The overwhelming cold that engulfed his body couldn't even delay his movements in the slightest.
The two One-Line-Heaven experts who were in mid-air felt a chill in their hearts at the same time.
They had the same thought at the same time. This person … could not be defeated by force!
However, in the next moment, they saw this person take a step forward and raise both of his hands at the same time.
Two fists.
One fist for each person …
Both fists flew towards them as if they were flying!
The exchange between the two sides was so fast that it only took a breath's time.
However, in such a short period of time, the two Frontline Heavens experts had already been forced to retreat without a care for their image.
On the side, Lu Zhengyi had long been tongue-tied. His whole body was cold, and he did not dare to move.
Even Yu Jinglei and Zhuo Wanlian were forced to retreat again and again. He would be courting death if he went up.
However, at this moment, he heard He Yiming's hurried voice with a hint of disbelief, "Stop."
"Huff …"
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
The moment He Yiming shouted for him to stop, that pair of fists instantly stopped in mid-air without any delay.
The owner of the fists was originally taking large strides forward. His feet had already left the ground as he moved forward. However, at this moment, his body stopped abruptly in mid-air.
It was as if there was an invisible wall in front of him that was blocking him from moving forward.
His body stopped abruptly in mid-air, then he fell straight down. His feet landed steadily on the snow.
This action was also extremely simple, without any fancy moves.
However, it was precisely because of this that everyone looked at this person with horror as if they were looking at a ghost.
Even the two powerhouses of One-Line-Heaven had the same feeling after seeing this scene.
This was because the pause in mid-air was simply too unbelievable. While chasing after the two powerhouses of One-Line-Heaven, that person's speed was so fast that it was not slower than their full retreat. And this ability to stop at will made everyone deeply fearful.
This person's control over his body was already extremely strong, so strong that they had never heard of it before.
For a moment, the two powerhouses of One-Line-Heaven who were leaping in mid-air turned ashen. At the same time, they thought of the same question. If this person wanted to kill them regardless of everything, would they be able to stop him or escape?
It was only at this moment that they had time to think about who this person was.
At this moment, the man wearing a bamboo hat who was originally standing quietly behind He Yiming had disappeared. And the person who had forcefully punched out and forced them to retreat was wearing a huge and somewhat laughable bamboo hat on his head.
However, when everyone's eyes fell on the bamboo hat, they could not bring themselves to smile.
He Yiming moved slightly and came to the side of the man with the bamboo hat. He said in dissatisfaction, "Brother Bai, why did you have to interfere?"
108 said coldly, "I want to ensure your safety."
"We're very safe now." He Yiming said word by word.
However, 108 insisted, "They're hostile and have the strength to kill your wife."
He Yiming was instantly speechless. He looked at the sky and lamented in his heart …
The confrontation between Yuan Lixun and Yu Jinglei could be said to be a confrontation between the forces of "life" and "death". It was also a confrontation between ice and wood essential Qis.
Even if in their hearts, they did not have the intention to kill each other. But when this kind of tit-for-tat Zhen Qi attribute began to collide, even if there was no hostility, it would give rise to a strong hostile atmosphere for no reason, and it would produce a situation of life and death.
108 mistakenly thought that Yu Jinglei wanted to kill Yuan Lixun, and that he had the responsibility to do so. Hence, he did not care about anything else and wanted to kill this threat in the cradle.
He sighed deeply. He really did not know how to explain their relationship to a human weapon like 108.
"Brother Bai, listen carefully. They're my friends. Don't make a move. Unless we're really in mortal danger, or if I want you to make a move, then make a move. "He Yiming said sternly.
"Okay." 108 said clearly.
"You really understand?"
"Yes."
He Yiming nodded slightly. But even he was not sure if 108 really understood.
Yu Jinglei and Zhuo Wanlian landed one after another. They looked at each other and then took a few steps forward. But subconsciously, they kept a safe distance from this master who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Elder He, how should I address this gentleman?" Yu Jinglei asked with lingering fear.
"Uncle, this is a good friend I met on the road. His name is 108." He Yiming made up a lie.
"108?"
The three Connate masters looked at each other. This name was really unique. But why did they not have any impression of such a unique name?
At the same time, they thought of an alias. But no matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not match this person with any of the masters in their memories.
But when they saw the way He Yiming interacted with this person and the way they talked, they were even more shocked. They could not help but guess the relationship between them.
This kind of way of getting along with friends was a little too strange.
Suddenly, an equally powerful aura flew over from afar. In just a moment, Zhan Tianfeng had already appeared in front of them.
In the Kingdom of Kairong, the four great One-Line Sky powerhouses had finally gathered together … (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
