Before the two swords came close, the sword wind and the ice lotus had already collided with each other. With a "ding" sound, the ice lotus was shattered in the violent sword wind, but it did not fall. Instead, it turned into countless pieces of ice and flew towards Xiao Kuanglei in the storm. For a moment, the storm, carrying the broken ice lotus, swirled and danced around the two of them, like a tornado of ice and snow.
Ding ding ding ding…
Amidst a series of collisions and shattering sounds, the scattered ice flowers were all shaken away by Xiao Kuanglei, but the coldness contained in these ice flowers was beyond his expectations. When he shook away all the ice flowers, his hands were already red from the cold, and it took two breaths for him to fully recover. He stepped back half a step and smiled, "I have heard that the Ice Cloud Art of the Ice Cloud Palace is unparalleled in the world, and it really lives up to its reputation. Next, I will be more serious, and the fairy must be careful."
Xiao Kuanglei's arrogant "kind" reminder did not elicit any response from Xia Qingyue. Her cold eyes were as calm as still water, and as bright and beautiful as the moon. After Xiao Kuanglei looked at her for a few more seconds, his heartbeat uncontrollably accelerated. He immediately took a deep breath, and profound energy surged throughout his body. The storm swirling around him became faster and faster, and the image of the eagle behind him became clearer and clearer, until it seemed as real as a physical entity.
"Wind Sword!"
Xiao Kuanglei's eyes flashed, and a storm surged on his body. He suddenly rushed towards Xia Qingyue. His speed was really as fast as a storm. The profound practitioners whose strength was lower than the Earth Profound Realm in the field could only see a wisp of afterimage flashing like lightning - among the four major sects, the speed of the Xiao Sect was second to none!
"Haha, third brother seems to be serious. He even used his maximum speed. It looks like this battle will be over soon." Xiao Kuangyu said with a leisurely smile.
Xiao Juetian also nodded slowly: "It seems that Lei'er did not ignore our advice, did not underestimate the enemy, and did not hold back. Very good. After winning this battle, he will face Ling Yun. Ling Yun cannot win that battle, so let's show the true power of our Xiao Sect in this battle!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Zhen, who was standing next to Xiao Boyun, looked at the game on the field coldly and snorted in a slight voice.
Moving at a high speed like a storm, Xiao Kuanglei's long sword also swept out swiftly, and a storm swept over the sword body. As the sword light danced gorgeously, four sword auras that were powerful enough to penetrate mountains and shatter rocks flew towards Xia Qingyue at the same time.
Ding ding ding ding!
Four ice lotuses blossomed in front of Xia Qingyue. As they shattered, they all contained the four sword auras. At this moment, Xiao Kuanglei also successfully approached Xia Qingyue. His chain of sword moves attacked Xia Qingyue like a violent storm. Xia Qingyue retreated evenly and calmly. With every step back, a beautiful ice lotus would blossom under her feet...
“It’s really amazing. Xia Qingyue is only at the eighth level of the Profound Spirit Realm, but she has already reached the fourth level of the Ice Lotus Realm with the Frozen Cloud Art, and she is very proficient in performing it. Mu Lingxue, who was at the tenth level of the Profound Spirit Realm in the previous term, has only just begun to glimpse the path to the Ice Lotus Realm. It seems that Xia Qingyue must be the most talented disciple of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace in the past few decades.”
“But it looks like Xia Qingyue is clearly at a disadvantage. All her moves are for defense and parrying, and she has no energy left to fight back. This is no wonder, given her age and profound strength disadvantages.”
The eagle image behind Xiao Kuanglei spread its wings high, and he used sword moves one after another. He swung a long sword into a sky full of sword shadows. Coupled with his speed, the shadows of people and swords were illusory and overlapped, making people dizzy and overwhelmed. The clash of swords and the collision of storms and ice lotus brought about a series of sonic booms that made people's eardrums buzz.
Green sword energy and ice lotus fragments continuously shot out from the storm of profound energy that enveloped them. Facing Xiao Kuanglei’s astonishing speed, Xia Qingyue’s movements were as light as smoke, as graceful and elegant as a fairy stepping on dust. However, she was not restrained by Xiao Kuanglei’s speed at all. With every move of their feet, several more sword marks and pits caused by the impact of profound energy would appear on the ground.
The entire place was completely silent, leaving only the piercing sonic booms and tearing sounds. Every pair of eyes was fixed on the two figures on the sword-fighting stage. They had thought that this would be a match that would end quickly, and that they would even out the competition. No one had expected it to be so intense. The two people, who had a three-year age difference and a one-level difference in profound strength, were now clearly evenly matched.
The faces of the people in Xiao Sect gradually began to look grim. Xiao Juetian's brows sank a little bit, and he whispered: "It seems that we have underestimated Xia Qingyue. Her strength may not be inferior to Shui Wushuang and Wu Xuexin at all."
"It doesn't matter. Even if we can reach a stalemate with my third brother, what can it do? As long as my third brother takes out his Jingchen Sword, the outcome will be decided immediately." Xiao Kuangyu said without worry.
"Using the Jingchen Sword would be somewhat unfair. Now the two seem to be evenly matched, but if they continue like this, the advantage will still be on Lei'er's side. After all, Lei'er's profound strength is much stronger than that of a seventeen-year-old girl." Xiao Juetian said.
“Come on, sister! Come on, sister!” Xia Yuanba’s hands were sweating, his eyes were wide open, and he kept shouting. He couldn’t see the situation on the field clearly, he only saw that Xia Qingyue seemed to be retreating, and he became more and more anxious.
“Don’t worry, your sister won’t be defeated that easily.” Yun Che comforted her casually.
“Not that easy to lose?” Jasmine’s sneering voice came into Yun Che’s mind: “This woman has no chance of losing at all. If she used her full strength, the opponent wouldn’t even have a chance to face her five times. The current situation is just a deliberate attempt by her to hide her strength.”
“Oh?” Yun Che was shocked. “Not even five chances to meet? This is impossible, right?”
"Hmph! The reason you can cross a great realm to challenge is half because of your talent and comprehension, and half because of your Divine Profound Veins, Divine Bloodline, and Divine Profound Merits. As for talent, comprehension, and physique, I have finally met someone who is completely superior to you. That person is this woman. Not only does she possess the 'Heavenly Spiritual Veins' that have all fifty-four profound gates, she also possesses the 'Ice and Snow Glazed Heart' that is ten thousand times rarer than the Heavenly Spiritual Veins. Her physique is the 'Nine Profound Exquisite Body' that only appears once every ten thousand years among all the gods... and in the place where I was born... After tomorrow, whether your opponent will be Ling Yun is still unknown."
Yun Che: “!!!!”
Yun Che, who was well versed in the world's medical knowledge and physical constitution, had never heard of the names "Ice and Snow Exquisite Heart" and "Nine Mysterious Exquisite Body" before, either in his previous life or in this life, so he could not fully understand the true meaning of these two names. However, from Jasmine's words, he could hear a very clear shock. Something that could shock Jasmine must be extraordinary.
And Jasmine's last words shocked Yun Che completely. Because Jasmine's words were clearly hinting that... Xia Qingyue might even be able to defeat Ling Yun! !
The battle on the sword arena has entered a white-hot stage. The eagle image behind Xiao Kuanglei spread its wings again. He whistled softly, and his body leaped high into the sky. The storm of profound force around him also raged like boiling water at this time. Circles of light blue profound force ripples slowly spread to the surroundings, forcibly displacing all the nearby air. Then, Xiao Kuanglei pointed his long sword downwards, and all the profound force around him was condensed on the tip of the sword. Suddenly, the tip of the long sword glowed green and loudly, and a storm whistled around the tip of the sword at an extremely terrifying speed.
A repressive atmosphere enveloped the entire arena at this time. The spectators at the edge of the arena felt a strong sense of suffocation just by looking at the sword tip surrounded by green light.
After a long battle, Xiao Kuanglei finally lost his patience, but he did not take out the Jingchen Sword, because as Xiao Juetian said, to use the Xiao Sect's No. 1 Divine Sword against someone who was younger and weaker than him, not only would it be an unfair victory, but it would also be ridiculed. He decisively used his strongest trick.
"A stunning sword!!"
Xiao Kuanglei shouted loudly, and his whole body flew down in the surging storm. He looked like a sword god descending, and his extremely sharp sword energy covered Xia Qingyue...
"Oh! I didn't expect that my third brother could practice 'Stunning Sword' to such a level... probably about 40% of the way there?" Xiao Kuangyu said in surprise.
"This is a breakthrough I achieved recently. It looks like the competition will be over soon." A victorious smile appeared on Xiao Juetian's face.
As Xiao Kuanglei's sword fell at high speed, a crack spread wildly on the ground. Facing this terrifying aerial attack, Xia Qingyue seemed extremely calm. She raised her bare hand and slowly pointed the ice sword upwards. On the tip of the sword, an ice lotus silently blossomed, but this ice lotus was no longer crystal clear, but took on the light blue color of the sky.
Boom! !
Xiao Kuanglei’s stunning sword collided with Xia Qingyue’s ice lotus in mid-air. A thunderous roar resounded throughout the entire arena. The cyan storm of profound energy completely enveloped the large area around them. The ice lotus also completely exploded, scattering ice crystals and ice mist all over the sky. For a moment, the bodies of the two were completely enveloped by cyan and light blue profound energy light. No trace of their shadows could be seen anymore. All that could be heard was the crazy collision of two bursts of profound energy...
After ten full breaths, the green light and the blue light completely dissipated. At this moment, the two swords also collided for the last time, and then retreated separately under the impact of the collision.
Xia Qingyue's expression was calm, her beautiful eyes were still as clear as water, not to mention the scars on her body, even her white dress was spotless, and the icy spirits fluttering around her were not messy at all.
The same was true for Xiao Kuanglei who was across from her. Apart from his slightly messy hair, there was not a single wound on his body. After such a fierce clash of ultimate moves just now, it was a miracle that neither of them was injured at all.
However, judging from his expression, Xiao Kuanglei was obviously not as calm as Xia Qingyue. He had not expected this result at all. He had used his special move that had just achieved some success, but in the collision just now, all of his sword power and sword energy were blocked by the opponent, and not even a hair of hers was hurt. This made him secretly shocked and at the same time, he felt very ashamed.
Under such circumstances, he knew that if he wanted to win, he had to use the Jingchen Sword.
"As expected of a fairy from Frozen Cloud Palace, you really can't be underestimated. When I was the same age as you, I was definitely no match for you. But I must win this match. If I have offended you in any way, I will apologize to you in person after the match."
After saying that, Xiao Kuanglei retracted the sword in his hand, and pressed his right hand into the space ring, ready to take out the Jingchen Sword. But just when his right fingers touched his left hand, his face suddenly froze, and his movements stopped. Then, his face became paler and paler at an alarming speed... and then his whole body lay on the ground like an ice sculpture.
As he fell, Xia Qingyue's eyes did not tremble at all, there was no surprise at all.
At this moment, dozens of wounds of varying sizes suddenly appeared on Xiao Kuanglei’s body, and streams of blood gushed out… All of these wounds were caused by Xia Qingyue’s ice sword, but under the Frozen Cloud Art that contained the power of extreme cold, these wounds were instantly frozen after being pierced, and no bleeding would occur, and he would not even feel pain. Xiao Kuanglei, who was unaware, continued to fight fiercely with Xia Qingyue, and was completely unaware that under the green light just now, his body was cut by Xia Qingyue more than thirty times within ten breaths… and any of these wounds, if slightly deviated, could injure his lifeline… In other words, if Xia Qingyue had not shown mercy, he would have died more than thirty times within those ten breaths.
