Unlike the disciples of Saintly Sea Daoist who were at ease, Xiao Tian and Ghost Face found themselves in a predicant.
The reason being that Yun You was heading in the direction of the boulder behind which the two were hiding. Watching the uninvited guest approaching leisurely, Ghost Face took off his backpack and reached inside to search for sothing.
When he found what he wanted and was about to take it out, he was stopped by Xiao Tian, who frowned and signaled him with a shake of his head not to act rashly.
Ghost Face, watching Yun You getting closer, was anxious but listened to Xiao Tian and did not make any further moves.
Xiao Tian naturally did not want to be discovered by the approaching Yun You, but he also knew that making a move against Yun You at this ti would certainly be detected by Saintly Sea Daoist, and they would be discovered.
Therefore, he preferred to wait until Yun You got closer to take action, trying to remain silent and unnoticed.
However, the plan was thwarted the next mont, as Yun You, upon seeing Xiao Tian and Ghost Face from afar, let out a startled cry before the two could react.
In a panic, the rope connecting Yun You's feet suddenly tightened, causing him to tumble down the slope and crash into a big tree, once again fainting.
Upon noticing Yun You's unusual state, Saintly Sea Daoist's face changed, yelling, "Who?!"
After a while with no response, Saintly Sea Daoist looked around and, seeing only a tall boulder that could offer cover, imdiately channeled True Qi and struck it.
Before the True Qi hit the boulder with a loud noise, two figures leaped into the air from behind it, attracting everyone's attention.
When the stone debris cleared, the revealed figure caused both Celestial Punishnt Daoist and Saintly Sea Daoist to tremble — it was Xiao Tian?!
Upon seeing the two, Celestial Punishnt Daoist's mind beca lively, filled with hatred but also a hint of excitent, eagerly anticipating Xiao Tian being defeated by Saintly Sea Daoist and eting the sa fate as himself.
The only question was how to incite conflict between the two?
Celestial Punishnt Daoist decided to first observe Saintly Sea Daoist's reaction and then make further plans based on his emotional state.
At this mont, Saintly Sea Daoist's eyes suddenly turned blood red; it was this person who destroyed several of his senior brothers, forcing him to resort to almost cruel thods to enhance his own strength.
Thanks to him, he had transford dramatically, but the pain endured during that enhancent process would often wake him up in cold sweats, even from dreams.
Trembling all over, Saintly Sea Daoist stared at Xiao Tian with almost entirely red eyes, gnashing his teeth as if wishing to consu his flesh to quell the hatred in his heart!
"Xiao Tian!" Saintly Sea Daoist gritted his teeth loudly, indicating the approaching storm with the torrents of his vast True Qi.
Celestial Punishnt Daoist, startled by Saintly Sea Daoist's appearance, was overjoyed; he hadn't expected Xiao Tian to have a grudge with Saintly Sea Daoist, which was indeed a cause for celebration for him!
"Is Saintly Virtue Daoist well?" Xiao Tian was unfazed, appearing as if nothing mattered, even speaking in a casual tone, as if he never regarded Saintly Sea Daoist as important.
"Very well, indeed!" Saintly Sea Daoist's sinister voice ca forth: "But if I kill you, I believe he will feel even better!"
"Then better he doesn't feel good!" Xiao Tian snorted coldly, "I'm curious, if I kill you, how would he feel?"
Saintly Sea Daoist sighed with a sinister laugh: "I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do so!"
At this point, Saintly Sea Daoist's volu suddenly increased, and along with the sweeping motion of the duster in his hand, the vast Sea of True Qi surged towards Xiao Tian and even Ghost Face wasn't spared.
Unable to evade in ti, the two were hit, and imdiately felt a shudder in their hearts as they extended themselves within this blue True Qi surge, their movents greatly restricted and slowed.
The key was the constantly turbulent blue ice blades within, leaving them in a sorry state; each evasion was exceedingly perilous, and the resistance intensified around them as the blue ice blades beca faster.
Barely dodging another ice blade, Xiao Tian quickly employed Iron Chain Cross River, but found that what normally took an instant to circulate a cycle took over two seconds now.
Realizing this wasn't good, Xiao Tian thought of the potion he had prepared earlier to speed up True Qi circulation, touched his pocket, and felt reassured, thinking it was fortunate he brought it along; otherwise, he would be blind at this mont.
Though Ghost Face's pills for unlocking the Genetic Lock were indeed much stronger than his ordinary potions, the side effects were also surprisingly high, making Xiao Tian reluctant to use them unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, the limited supply was a major issue; they were finite and couldn't be reproduced, forcing Xiao Tian to conserve each one and avoid using them unless absolutely necessary.
After uncorking the bottle, he drank the potion inside in one gulp and discarded the bottle, only to find it uncontrolled in midair, slowly descending.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound followed as the floating bottle in front was shattered by the spinning ice blades, scattering fragnts slowly, giving enough ti to dodge.
This bizarre situation gave Xiao Tian the feeling he had caught onto sothing, but he had no ti to think as the ice blades whistled past again.
What puzzled him was that those ice blades existed within the blue Sea of True Qi, but unlike him, they weren't hindered.
Initially, Xiao Tian thought only living beings were affected by this domain, but the breaking of the bottle overturned his previous assumption, leaving him to start anew.
At this mont, the ice blades that had been circling the periter suddenly stopped moving, causing both Xiao Tian and Ghost Face to frown; no one would consider this a good sign.
Xiao Tian no longer hesitated, leveraging the quickly fading speed boost of True Qi to reach for the pills Ghost Face gave him.
At the sa ti, just as Xiao Tian took out the pills, hundreds of ice blades simultaneously shifted, pointing directly at him and Ghost Face, ready to turn them into bloodied hedgehogs.
Bound tightly, Celestial Punishnt Daoist naturally observed everything happening, feeling cold sweat drip down his back; he initially underestimated Saintly Sea Daoist, but it was now clear that the latter had hidden his depth well!
If Saintly Sea Daoist had used such a sharp technique in their first battle, the best result he could have hoped for would have been serious injury, certainly not the re surface wounds he had now!
The technique used by Saintly Sea Daoist was incredibly sharp, but also consud a significant amount of True Qi.
