Fight!
Run?!
It was time for Happy to make a choice.
Between the two, Happy resolutely chose the former.
One of the reasons was because he knew that dragging things out would only put him in an even more passive and dangerous situation. Instead of running for his life because of his wealth, it would be better for him to use the unique environment in Sky Demon Secret Cave to fight for his life. Perhaps he would be able to reach a breakthrough and see the light at the end of the tunnel.
…
Whoosh!
The old Dharma protector with the silver saber was incredibly fast. Almost five seconds after Happy entered the other tunnel, he stepped into the extremely cold cave.
"Hmm?"
Right when he entered the world of ice and snow, the Dharma protector with the silver saber immediately noticed that the situation in the cave was the complete opposite of the cave beside it.
One was extremely hot, and the other was extremely cold!
The former was not that bad. After all, he was used to the environment beside a high-temperature furnace. The high temperature needed to refine divine weapons was not that much inferior to that in the other cave. Besides, the unique qi cultivation technique of the mighty northern clan allowed them to move freely in hot environments. Hence, even if they fought against Fire Qilin, the hot flames that spread out from the Fire Qilin would have a hard time dealing any damage to them.
But the situation in the extremely cold cave was completely different.
Right when he entered, the Dharma protector with the silver saber, who had lived in the northern snow for a long time, sensed a bone-chilling chill assault his body. His skin that was exposed to the air instantly turned red.
'This cold might even freeze a normal person's blood and true qi, and their movements will be greatly reduced. The evil cult does indeed have quite a number of geniuses. They actually managed to create this sort of environment.'
Even though he felt a little sentimental, this sort of environment was not a problem for the Dharma protector with the silver saber. He redirected his gaze and saw a clear line of footprints on the ground of the extremely cold cave. His wrinkled eyebrows relaxed a little.
He was just a young man in Moksha Realm, and he did not have enough martial arts. It was already very difficult for him to walk through this dangerous place recklessly.
'Hmph!'
'Let's see where you can run now.'
He tapped against the ground and shot into the extremely cold cave like a bolt of lightning.
Even though his speed was astonishing, compared to when he was outside, his speed was still clearly reduced. With each step he took, he stepped on the clear footprints and chased after Happy into the tunnel.
Based on the density of the footprints, Happy's movement speed had definitely been reduced by more than 70%!
There was a heavy footprint on the frozen ground every three feet or so. It was hard to imagine that he was a martial artist who was pretty good.
But that was the case here …
A faint, cold smile appeared on the Dharma protector's face. His silver saber was covered in a layer of frost, and it looked even more chilly and aggressive!
It was as if he could already see Happy fleeing with great difficulty because his circulation of true qi was not smooth.
But what made him feel strange was …
He chased after the footprints for more than half a minute, but he still did not find Happy.
The Dharma protector with the silver saber finally noticed that something was off!
Something was definitely wrong.
Based on the distance between the footprints on the ground, it was impossible for the man to run so fast. Even if his speed was affected, the distance he covered was still several times that of Happy.
Logically …
He should have caught up to Happy a long time ago.
He turned his head to look around.
The Dharma protector frowned. He finally realized that he had been fooled.
The door was nearby.
He actually followed the footprints on the ground and made a big circle.
"Boy, you have some skill. It's no wonder why you could snatch Heaven Crystal from Sword Sect's hands." The Dharma protector with the silver saber put away his scornful gaze and looked around the area carefully. Finally, he found a faint footprint in an inconspicuous spot in the tunnel by the side.
They chased him for another round.
"Damn it!"
In the end, he returned to his original position.
He was fooled again!
While he was angry, the Dharma protector with the silver saber sensed that the weapon in his hands was incredibly cold, and his hands were about to freeze.
The extremely cold environment here was much worse than the extremely hot environment. He constantly used up his qi. Even though he could recover some of it by circulating his qi cultivation technique, the circulation speed of his qi cultivation technique was greatly hindered. Besides, as time passed, a hint of cold poison seemed to be slowly invading his body. The amount of qi he used up gradually increased, and the Dharma protector with the silver saber was already feeling a little strained.
If he continued staying here, his body might feel a little uncomfortable.
Just when the Dharma protector was prepared to search for a way out and leave this place for a period of time so that he could recover his body, his ears suddenly twitched. He heard a faint sound coming from a tunnel not too far away.
Whoosh!
The thought that had just appeared in his mind disappeared without a trace. The Dharma protector with the silver saber rushed over without hesitation.
Right when he reached the entrance of the cave …
A cold sword glare instantly arrived in front of his face, and it was dazzling.
There was no sound of wind or breathing, but the timing was perfect. The speed at which he attacked and the timing at which he attacked shocked the Dharma protector with the silver saber.
'Not bad, brat!'
He cried out in his heart. He flicked his wrist, and his silver saber was placed vertically in front of his face to block the series of rapid sword slashes that dazzled him.
Naturally, he did not know.
Since Happy had mastered Nine Yang Divine Skill, his qi realm had returned to its original state, which was why the Dharma protector did not notice him beforehand. Besides, his actions were all within Happy's grasp.
That was why he was forced to withstand Happy's series of swift slashes.
Clanging sounds rose nonstop.
Happy's swift slashes had the increase in speed from his fourth-echelon Golden Bracer, the damage from Seventh Sword, and he also took an Origin Leopard Pill. His damage had reached thirty thousand points, and he did not lose to the attacks of a martial artist at the peak of Inaction Realm.
The series of swift slashes might not seem like much, but the thunderous momentum that erupted afterward and the increasingly fierce sword glare violently shattered the ice on the silver saber.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Snow flew everywhere!
The unexpected power might not be able to make the Dharma protector with the silver saber's purlicue numb, but under the fierce and swift attack, he temporarily lost his ability to counterattack.
The Dharma protector retreated repeatedly.
But when he sucked in a breath, his true qi practically froze!
When he focused his gaze again, the person who ambushed him withdrew his sword momentum without hesitation, turned around, and ran into the tunnel.
"Brat, you're still thinking of running?!"
The Dharma protector's face was red with rage.
The mighty northern clansmen had always been hot-tempered, and they could not tolerate even the slightest bit of trouble. Right then, he had been toyed around by a young brat a few times. When they exchanged blows, he was forced to take a few steps back, and he did not even have the chance to counterattack. This was the first time in the second half of his life that the Dharma protector with the silver saber and the Dharma protector with the northern saber had experienced something like this.
He held his anger in his chest, and it felt like he was about to explode. There was no way he could endure it!
With a furious roar, he chased after Happy and crawled into the tunnel.
While he was filled with anger, the Dharma protector with the silver saber did not notice that their speed seemed to be at a stalemate at that moment. In fact, when Happy turned around and left, he seemed to have a slight advantage in terms of speed, and he seemed to be even more agile.
